DOOM Review - STN

STN Writes: DOOM has been in development for a long time, so long in fact that it feels like shooters have since moved on. Of course this could have been a problem for developer ID Software, but given that the focus was always to provide an updated version of the style of gameplay from the original titles, it turns out that it doesn’t really matter.

Great review. Game sounds like it is a lot of fun.

The review is from a British retailer that sells the game.. It's about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

wotta3662d ago

I wrote that review and have been doing so for years. You might want to read it before you accuse me of being biased ;)

I played a few hours of it so far. Great game that looks like it deserves a great review. Well done.

Steptoe3662d ago

..or as a cat flap in an elephant house.

xxRuffDogXX3662d ago

You still write for a retailer, that sells game... that's job it is to promote games.

MyDietEqualsGames3662d ago

Hehehe!!! Good review. Looking forward to trying it out soon.

@xxruffdogxx

How is that any different than gaming websites who are are paid to promote their advertisers? You honestly don't think the revenue from all the companies who advertise has zero influence on coverage? lol.

The footage looks awesome! Amazing graphics and the gameplay looks sharp as hell(!).

battleFROnt3662d ago (Edited 3662d ago )

he's just as credible as your favorite reviewer as they are all earthlings who possess an opinion.

game4funz3662d ago

I had to agree with your comment mainly because you used earthling in your sentence. XD

Gitgud3662d ago

Jeez, you didn't even give him a shot.

Matology3662d ago

Agreed. If other independent reviews okay the game, ShopTo is where I will be buying it from, as most games I buy there.

wotta3662d ago

It's the you got paid to write a review argument all over again. Whether it is a website, a retailer or a YouTuber, everyone is always accused. I know I'm honest when it comes to writing, I always have been whether writing for a retailer or freelance for the larger sites :)

You can never win though in this industry. Just need to be yourself and hope people see that.

oof463662d ago

They make chocolate teapots?!? Where can I buy one?

IceKoldKilla3662d ago (Edited 3662d ago )

Read first. Don't judge without reading.

Femto3662d ago

i swear some people are so negative nowadays, its like you want the game to be bad smh

Well, this is the feeling I got when watching the kick ass videos, and what I expected . Sold, bought digital copy. Nice review.

Der_Kommandant3662d ago

I played it one hour last night and it was incredible fun, it surpassed my expectations.

IWentBrokeForGaming3662d ago

Still debating if I should get my preorder or cancel?... Anyone playing this that can provide their own feedback? Been watching Twitch streams and campaign looks pretty decent!

Rooted_Dust3662d ago

I'd say don't cancel. The SP is awesome, I've been re-playing the original for a week now in anticipation and it's great how similar they feel. It the kind of game that you wouldn't mind going back and replaying levels just to find all the secrets, because they don't load you down with so much exposition. I'm not as interested in the MP, but what I did play of it seemed like the standard fare.

IWentBrokeForGaming3662d ago

Thank you man! Yeah I'm old school... Started with this franchise on Windows 95. So if it kinda captured that old school vibe, I'm in!

nowitzki20043662d ago (Edited 3662d ago )

Thats what I was worried about, plenty of other MP shooter to play but Doom SP has to be great for Doom to make a comeback. Sounds great that it feels like the old doom, Cant wait to play it.

Kleptic3662d ago

I put about 3 or 4 hours into the sp last night on PC...

If you really are a fan of the originals...you'll be very happy...The design of the single player is a lot better than I think many are going to initially think.

So far it breaks down into pretty long 'levels', that have several main sections where you get kind of surrounded and have to go nuts...the pacing when that happens is brilliant, and it really does remind me of almost of something like Tony Hawk at times...where you're almost in a skate park type thing and you're just flowing through it combo'ing enemies and pick ups...

I also really like the balance between health/armor and ammo...glory kills give additional health, and the chainsaw pretty much guarantees you'll be filled with ammo...and once you get a feel for that, you approach each situation knowing what is needed. Its great because there is no running and hiding in most cases, its more about killing a specific way to get what you need at the time.

All I really mean is that its so simple on paper, but there is a surprising amount of depth to it...and all the old greatness is back...in-fighting, environmental kills and traps, etc.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl3485378d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92378d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil378d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb378d ago (Edited 378d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.

It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.

Gamingsince1981466d ago

Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
