Don't get your panties in a bunch, ladies. Opinions differ. When someone expresses their opinion -- like how they feel about a game -- it's kind of redudant to add the caveat that said opinion is an opinion and subjective. To quote metacritic sites and Steam reviews in an attempt to "prove" my opinion wrong is the stuff of infants.

Even https://opencritic.com/game/7410/doom-eternal rates it off the charts. Must be due to thedarkdeepderp state.![]()

And yet it sits at a 92%/89% positive rating out of 3002/98,800 votes.
Yes it must most certainly be horrible because TorTorden and a few other gripey Bluesnewsers say it is.
If everyone runs over a cliff do you follow?
Reviews ?
Seriously those are at best written by tweens.
But more likely bots.

Doom eternal.
Seemed lighter on the former and stuck on the latter.
The quick gore kill in 2016 was a nice bonus addition.
Somehow the design by focus group thought it was a good idea to add another 665 more bullshit stuff on top of it.
And suddenly it's a requirement to make fluffy kills rather than an occasional bonus.
Utterly killed.
And where did the humongous spaceship hub come from?
Nah this was a messy turd wrapped in doom wrapping.
Happy to forget it ever existed.

I agree with part of it. I believe that any game that has purchasable loot boxes for cash should be considered gambling and placed under the same age restrictions as gambling.
Fuck EA, Activision, and all the other companies with their "surprise game mechanics"

It’s hard work trying to equalize the field against a monopoly, but somebody has got to do it.

But even ignoring that there's a huge difference between "tween safe space" and a forum full of deplorables. You seem to be part of the latter.
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. This isn't a tween safe space. That much should be obvious.

Already had it and even if I didn't...I really don't want anything from Epic. They leave a nasty smell in the air and have been complicit in screwing over too many gamers for me to be comfortable taking things from them or even installing their launcher.
Given just how slimy most politicians and the Beltway crowd are, I suppose you sent back your "stimulus" money.

Interesting point.
Though the developer studio would be more at fault even if sharing the sin with the tempter.
Maybe Epic's money helped the studio stay open or start producing another game ?
But Epic's tactic is pretty amazing :
Promoting PC gaming to,
- New gamers that got to play games only because they were free.
- Old gamers trying and discovering games they wouldn't have bought.
- Poor gamers unable to buy even cheap games in these troubled times, getting some incredible gifts (Grand Theft Auto V premium edition, Remnant From the Ashes, both Watch Dogs, etc, etc).
I have some 1300 steam games, never bought 1 game anywhere else, unless it was a key I could redeem on Steam.
I respect your stance and liked reading it, opinions give valuable and sometimes eye opening perspective.
But also, I truly love Epic Games Store for 119 games, so far (not counting ones in Steam too).

After the CP2077 debacle, what is the smell you find coming from gog?

For those who are experiencing game breaking bugs.
Set the game aside for 6 months while CDPR fixes them, simple as that.

I'd be down for a story focused on the Qunari. They're the most interesting group in The series.
Sacrastic or? Personally I think they are the worst group. Heartless, arrogant conquerors who enforce their own ridiculously primal warrior beliefs and ethics upon all the cultures they dominate in their proverbial rape of them.
