That's what Microsoft wanted. Me and a friend bought a month of game pass to play through Oblivion and Doom Dark Ages then unsubscribed. I doubt they're going to keep doing day 1 releases in the long run because this might be hurting their game studios.

Sorry but what you mean with day 1 releases?

Typically subscription plans dont give you access to titles on day 1 of release. You have a choice of buying it or waiting. Gamepass gives access to many titles day 1.

They made it tiered last year - some titles like CoD are on GamePass Ultimate only.

>DRM, required raytracing, $80 No thanks, I can wait.

My teenage nephew, fresh off of regurgitating talking points about how $80 Nintendo games were total ripoffs, happily bought Doom on launch for $70 (with whose money I do not know), beat it in less than a week, and then raved about it in a phone call for over an hour, eager to experience any upcoming DLC. So, uh, that's the audience, I guess?

They released on game pass the same day the game launched everywhere else.

Ohhhh raytracing is required? Awesome, I can't play it so I guess I don't even have a reason to follow it for price drops. Oh well, Selaco's new campaign act is about to drop, I'll guess I will give it a rerun instead of playing doom.

It's not like the game can't launch without a newish GPU, it'll just run like ass.

Good. [Fuck Microsoft.](https://bdsmovement.net/microsoft)

Can't even play the game. I can spend as much time in the menu and settings as I want, watch the first cutscene just fine... but as soon as I enter the game it freezes within 1 minute every time. Literally unplayable. I've tried tweaks I found online, tried new drivers (the version mentioned in the launcher) and the previous driver version recommended on the official website and no changes. Womp womp. Installed Doom 2016 and enjoying it again.

Well i rather enjoy it. The mecha and dragon sections are a bit basic but the main combat is fun and fresh.

Game runs like shit so I'm not buying it.

I'm pretty sure the game is enjoyable, but is it really $70 (Or in case of EU 80€ which to be crystal clear is a fucking joke of a price) enjoyable? I thought about buying Doom TDA but when I saw the price tag I decided to buy V Rising instead. I'm pretty sure for more than half the price I'm getting as much enjoyment out of V Rising as I would out of Doom TDA. My issue with the increase of premium pricing is mainly pragmatic. There's no reason to pay that price when you could get just as good or better games cheaper.

I pirate about 99% of the games i play until they go on sale for under $20. I dont think $70 for any game is fair, but i make an exception for doom games because they are my absolute favorites. For me personally its worth it, but i wouldn't recommend it at full price to anyone who isnt a hardcore doom fan.

You subscribing to Game Pass is exactly what they want and why they keep so many studios.

Game prices haven't followed inflation because the market kept growing so fast that they made it up on gross revenue. That's coming to an end (hence the post-lockdown market contraction and layoffs), so expect prices to go up by at least $10 every generation from now on.

Played and it was parry hell. And by that I mean just keep parrying super easy but like so often. If this was reskined as captain America game it would make plenty of sense but as a doom game meh. They took out what made the game fun. We literally just turned off the music it was so not engaging. Plus hardly any rip and tearing. Felt like someone's grandma edited the game to be less cool.

Maybe they should have just made another Hexen and left DOOM as DOOM.

I have an Xbox s and x. If I had paid full price and only had an s, I would have rioted. It looks like Vaseline got smeared all over my tv screen to get it to run on that thing. The framerate is good, but it has to down res so much it looks awful and actually detracts from the experience. Tbh, the x runs awesome and looks great, but you do need a decent system to run it.
