OT / review thread The game is available on Game Pass.  The Lord of Cereal #REFANTAZIO SWEEP Member Jan 9, 2020 12,220 Granted this doesn't include early access and this is just on a Thursday afternoon, but goddamn that's low.

DOOM and Eternal effectively had the same recommended specs (A GTX 970 which was 6 years old by the time Eternal released) + Eternal launched at peak start of Pandemic with viral barbenheimer marketing. Costs less. Doesn't require an RTX card. Wasn't on game pass. Doesn't surprise me tbh.   eamono Member Nov 17, 2020 317 The Lord of Cereal said: Granted this doesn't include early access and this is just on a Thursday afternoon, but goddamn that's low.

It was a much smaller subscription back in 2020 and Doom Eternal didn't hit Game Pass until six months after release in October 2020. Now it's there day 1.

Zero stutter, very optimized, and ability to change settings without a restart. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FjdOQmAHpk Only thing missing is a preview window for graphical changes and some settings don't change anything above High until the path-tracing update comes out.  hydruxo ▲ Legend ▲ Member Oct 25, 2017 22,687 Zukkoyaki said: Word on the street is it's a bad PC port.

I was about to correct you on the recommended specs for 2016, but I'll be damned if you aren't right. I remember running it on a 760 and having amazing performance so I had to assume the rec spec was much lower. Idtech is just a great engine I suppose.   cvbas Member Oct 25, 2017 5,043 Brazil ridiculously high pricing in many parts of the world + good but not fantastic review scores + high minimum pc specs + early access for premium edition didn't expect it to beat eternal, but debuting with worse numbers than doom 2016 is kinda rough.  Pop-O-Matic Avenger Oct 25, 2017 13,962 7thFloor said: Do people just expect their graphics cards to be enough forever Click to expand... Click to shrink... They expect them to be enough until an upgrade is affordable, and that hasn't been the case for years now.   SofNascimento cursed Member Oct 28, 2017 24,876 São Paulo - Brazil Gamepass makes looking at these numbers particularly trecherous but if we use Oblivion as a reference this are very meh numbers.   Crushed Member Oct 25, 2017 8,157 That's genuinely low, but Eternal was also probably abnormally high due to COVID boost + marketing hype of "this time we're actually properly promoting the new Doom" (as opposed to the trainwreck of Doom 2016's marketing) + ran like greased lightning on nearly everything + the organic Doom/Animal Crossing meme pushing consciousness.   Cien Member Oct 25, 2017 3,163 Zukkoyaki said: Word on the street is it's a bad PC port. Click to expand... Click to shrink... Potato PCs getting put in their place does not equal a bad port. Technology moves forward.  Wyatt+ Member Jan 15, 2020 821 FWIW, I bought the last two Doom games during launch window, and now I'm playing this via Game Pass. Anecdotal, sure. But I'd imagine that's part of the explanation here. At the same time… It does feel like there's less hype for this than there was for Eternal.  A Strong Latte Member Oct 25, 2017 8,855 The high pricing + game pass day 1 to me makes 30k a pretty good ccu for a single player game. I bet many people like me are grabbing a couple months of gamepass to play this and clair obscura   Merrill Member Oct 27, 2017 1,938 Halifax It's too expensive for a single player only game. Imo. Look at all the other Doom releases, they go down by 80% in price in no time. Then you have a fantastic game like Expedition 33 releasing for half the price and twice the length. Easy skip until the eventual price cut and sale.  BAW Member Oct 27, 2017 2,124 The Doom Eternal numbers… do they include players using that forgotten Bethesda launcher?   nsilvias Member Oct 25, 2017 30,047 Cien said: Potato PCs getting put in their place does not equal a bad port.

Indiana Jones just got a patch that verified it for steam deck and it seems to run decent at 30 fps even if its like ultra performance upscaling lol. probably trick windows into running it in that mode   Mezoly Jimbo Replacement Member Oct 25, 2017 5,245 I don't know how to think about this when both Clair Obscur and Oblivion are doing higher CCU numbers right now 3 weeks post their releases than this. Both games on Gamepass. I guess let's wait till the weekend but I feel these are kinda soft numbers but not bad or great.  cvbas Member Oct 25, 2017 5,043 Brazil BAW said: The Doom Eternal numbers… do they include players using that forgotten Bethesda launcher? Click to expand... Click to shrink... No, 104k was on Steam only.   Duxxy3 Member Oct 27, 2017 24,731 USA With Oblivion, Clair Obscur and Doom all releasing on game pass in a small timeframe, I didn't even entertain the idea of buying the game on Steam.   DamageEX2 Member May 20, 2024 1,240 Not that good, but i imagine the early acess hurted the numbers   RipVanWinkle Member Dec 10, 2024 296 Feels like a mix of the $70 price tag, high requirements and it being on Gamepass   vixolus Prophet of Truth Member Sep 22, 2020 70,669 Mezoly said: I don't know how to think about this when both Clair Obscur and Oblivion are doing higher CCU numbers right now 3 weeks post their releases than this.

As a massive Eternal fan and this being one of my most anticipated games ever, I'm probably waiting on a sale due to the high launch price and too much stuff to play. Tempted to just get it and play it tonight though lol   Dave. Member Oct 27, 2017 6,873 Bought 2016 day one, amazing game. Bought Eternal later on in a sale and haven't got around to it yet. Skipped Dark Ages for now. Looks alright but I've already started waiting for it to get cheaper since the early access premium version released, by the time normal version comes out it's easier to wait even longer for even cheaper. And besides, really should just play Eternal. But new shiny is tempting, and without premium I might have day one'd it. These are weak numbers, maybe it'll have a nice bump on the weekend.  Last edited: Thursday at 10:09 PM Rosebud Two Pieces Member Apr 16, 2018 51,116 Friendly Bear said: I imagine the RT requirements are probably the biggest factor?

I enjoyed 2016 and Eternal, so I was always going to like Dark Ages, but a friend of mine has no interest because (basically) it's not like Eternal.   MarcosBrXD Member Aug 28, 2024 1,665 I'm seeing little talk around this new Doom   Gavalanche Prophet of Regret Member Oct 21, 2021 25,781 We have to stop using the "its on gamepass" excuse. So many games come out that are on gamepass that do well on Steam. We have enough of a sample size of years at this point to be able to deduce that gamepass does not eat into Steam sales to any significant degree - I am sure it still does, but it would be pretty minor.   Jiggy Avenger Oct 25, 2017 9,980 wherever I didn't even realize it came out. Thought there'd be more buzz around it.   carlsojo Shinra Employee Member Oct 28, 2017 37,515 San Francisco Yeah for whatever reason word of mouth on this game is pretty dead.   Temperance "This guy are sick" Member Oct 25, 2017 6,990 [NO 2FA] Yikes. Didn't expect that low tbh.   selfnoise Member Oct 25, 2017 1,551 RPGs are white hot right now and single-player shooters are... not.
