Wow. Very impressive review.
Kind of reminds me of the quality of Game trailers review.
+Easy Allies That Explains the quality!
Welcome back!
lol so clueless. Couldn't you tell by the voice
Came here to say this, so have a thumbs up!
+Easy Allies Indeed welcome back.
Fair score in the end, even though most other games' media treats 80% games as "disappointing". I disagree with your asessment of Glory kills, I think they're an incredible addition to the usual formula and essential in moving the genre forward. The dynamic it creates is almost poetic when faced with a larger number of enemies, as you zip from one target to another as if trying to keep a streak going. In fact, if some sort of scoring and multipliers were part of this game, that'd make perfect sense with this mechanic.
+nsignific also they are 100% optional... I think you even can turn them off...
+KevboardArts you can, looks like they missed that part.
+KevboardArts they are definitely NOT optional! Especially on higher difficulties
They are.
+Khakimzhan if you are good enough they are. there is usually enough armor and health around from my experience...
I just started it of course, went straigh with the hardest mode available, and so far, it seems totally ok without the bonus pickups from glory kills
This game has one of the most fun single player campaigns I've played in a long time. I'd put it right up there high on my list with Dishonored, Bioshock and Half-Life 2
+Artificialraven i liked wolfenstein new order way more
this game felt like i was playing a challenge map rather a campain
+Doflamingo Donquixote that game was fun, but doom is on another level lol.
Jef Drouin you liked the 2016 doom game?
Love it :-).
Jef Drouin yeah its ok i guess
Yes! You guys are awesome! Glad to have back!
It feels so good to hear your voice again Brandon Jones, since GT closed down.
Much better review than IGN.
I refused to watch any DOOM reviews but Easy Allies'. You guys had me waiting but it was worth it. Excellent review as always.
That's why I'm glad to see the old GT team are alive and well :D
Huber, again? He's on fire, great reviews.
my last 3 games i played.. Ratchet and clank, Uncharted 4 and Doom.. its been a good month. finally getting consistently good games this gen (lets ignore Homefront)
+Pojosamaneo Megaman would be proud
last year was a fantastic year for ps4 games, bloodborne, witcher 3, fallout 4, MGS V, arkham knight, mkx
This game is the biggest surprise for me this year so far. I was expecting total garbage and even if the multiplayer is exactly that the campaign is incredible!
This is the first place I will go to for reviews. You always cover every single detail, without going on too long about each one. Your scores are always right on the mark, and the narrator is the best in the industry!
Brandon Jones is awesome as well as the whole team. congrats Easy Allies, I finally found the GT team; keep up the awesome work
mikepentop grtynht
I love it how you synchronized the music at 4:05 :D
You guys are Amazing :)
Signs of a good video editor :)
+Beard Almighty Well Brandon edited it, now we know he doesn't just have a radiophonic voice, but also amazing editing skills ;)
+BladeBlurX isnt it ian who does the editing?
Dang, Huber's on a tear with these reviews (pun intended). Burned out yet? Keep up the great work 3.5 stars or not. 😊
Doom is my favorite game of 2016 so far. It's so refreshing to have a FPS game that's actually complete at launch.
I majorly disagree about the glory kills. They never got old and were amazing. I hate the 5 stars thing. Not enough points. I'd give it a 5/5 but a 9.8 out of 10. The game is nearly flawless.
If you look at the video description, 4 Stars is Excellent, so for them, the game is great. I think sometimes the numbers get kinda in the way of the actual review. Hearing what they have to say is what really matters, but I get most people's discomfort with the stars and all.
I disagree on the melee kills and you guys basically missed the whole point of them giving you health to encourage aggressive play. You can also unlock a perk that speeds the kill animations up. They flow really well together IMO.
"...metal soundtrack pumps live into each death." Now thats a fucking line.
Great review. I'm actually surprised you said you kind of got tired of the glory kills, most everyone I talked to thought that they were surprisingly fast, satisfying, and didn't slow down the action.
glad to see that gametrailers lives on... you guys always have the best reviews
That game turned out so awesome. Totally loved the campaign.
Just discovered you guys were back. Great to hear Brandon's voice again talking about games.
It's great to see you guys again. I used to watch your reviews for games years ago. And before GameTrailers got taken down I started watching your reviews again of games that looked interesting. If only there was a way to see most of those videos now.
IGN, who the old GT crew are still friends with I believe, bought all of the GT property, so they have all of the videos archived and still available for viewing.
MABlacksmith Where can I see them? I know they have some of the more recent stuff on the GT RUclips channel.
Goddaaaaaaaaaaamn Brandon I missed your voice, you guys are still kickin, I'm so happy right now, I was afraid of missing you guys and your content in my life, picture me crying with joy :'D
Oh man!!! SOOOO cool to hear your voice and watch your reviews again!!! so happy!!
Huber is a reviewing machine. Impressive like always
Hey Great to hear your voice again Brandon! It feels like the sweet sound of a trusted reviewer. It was missed.
I liked the review, but i didn't like the game and asked for refund. Not my cup of tea , i guess , somehow i've liked wolfenstein remake.
Did this dude just say "sarcophagus?" That alone makes this the best review of doom yet!
Phenomenal review. Your guy's channel will be huge one day.
I love your voice, never watched GT in the past.
No wonder everyone likes these type of reviews :D
+ArchieGamez Be sure to check out their podcast so you can get to know them, they're very entertaining and informative.
Jacques Nomdefamille alright thanks!
More than once, I've got a real Metroid Prime feeling with this game! Too bad I only own Nintendo stuff and an old Macbook, I think I'd f-ing love this game! :)
Love that you guys are back. Great review.
So god damn good to hear Brandons voice again!!
The multiplayer has nuance on PC.
Maybe I'm being nit-picky but I feel like every game should be reviewed on the platform its meant to be played on.
I kinda agree with you, but at the same time, they should ALL be the platform it's meant to be played on. For some games and genres, I can totally understand though (ex: RTS games, Bethesda games, etc.).
I really want snap map to be MASSIVELY upgraded with more content and tools. Let us create larger more detailed environments with more players allowed to join in the fun. Give us the tools to make full multiplayer maps. I want to fix multiplayer to be more like quake 3 arena. I have some of those tools but not enough. I would love make quake 3 map replicas in snap map.
Im really enjoying doom on the pc but its great when a dev gets a console port running at 60fps. And the graphics look so much better in person than they do in videos(duh) i was surprised on how good it looks maxed out even though i cant run it maxed at a decent framerate. Maybe when i get a evga 1080 soon, the rest of my rig is pretty new 5820k 4.6, 16gb 3200mhz ddr4, asus x99 pro 3.1, os on a samsung m.2 ssd and the oldest part of my rig but still kicking strong a classified 780. I game at 120hz 1080p but i just got a 4k 60hz tv i might hook my setup to, i might just get a 1070 and save some money. Need to sell parts i have laying around 3770k, 16gb 1866 ddr3, 8gb 2133 ddr3, gtx 590, vapor x 7970ghz and 2 msi boards. Ive never sold anything off ebay but think $300 for the msi mb, 16gb ram and the 3770k should be a good deal and a 212 plus cpu cooler.
Not a single Word on the Runes and Upgrades? And i see the GloryKills the opposite. They dont slow down anything and are needed on higher Difficulty.
This is the MAD MAX: Fury Road of video games. Classic raw action masterpiece.
I have never ever been this early to a video by a popular channel
Very nice review, i'm enjoying the game a lot. Yes, the glory kills slow down the pace of the game, but at least, you can upgrade the armor and one hell runic to make them a lot faster.
I can immediately tell you were playing on console due to how slow turning was. Anyway, this is the best shooter in the last few years. It's obviously not as complex as say a Battlefield or Titanfall, but it's simplicity is refreshing and the mechanics are so spot on. I hope we see a few more fast-paced twitch shooters in the next few years like this. Id has definitely still got it.
Honestly, I somewhat disagree about the glory kills getting repetitive if only because they are based on where you look and the angle you are at so if you ever get tired of the ones you are doing you could just look at a different body part, and I played on nightmare, where doing them in the heat of a big battle usually ends up getting you surrounded so you it stops you from stringing them too much.
Plus there are even ones for doing it from in the air above your enemies which is insanely fun to pull off.
Honestly the most pure fun I've had with an FPS in forever. I even like the multiplayer - though haven't played it enough (I've only played it a little) to feel it's become repetitive yet. It's a 5 in my book but great review.
Plz bring back top ten
Nice review and all, but I'm just glad I get to hear that awesome reviewer voice again! Glad to have you back, Gametra- er, Easy Allies!
OMG the review structure is almost exactly like GT's yessss
And also great to see Brandon Jones return
I have played Doon, sins the first Doom came out in 1993 ^^ Holy shit... I sounded old, by saying that, he he he ^^ What i'm saying is... I agree with you :)
And thanks for Keeping the Game Trailer Spirit a live Guys :D
amazing review as always. Guys do not forget to support the team in Patreon!
Best fps campaign in a decade
Did the repetitious level structure bother anyone else? You go into an arena, a door locks you in, kill more or less the same waves of enemies in the same order, rinse and repeat. Maybe if the campaign had some sort of co-op it would have alleviated the repetition.
4/5 is fair, the only things that hold it back for me are season pass, loading times, and no split screen?(havent tested).
I think the glory kills are fine but there could be an option to disable them, same with hack mods wish there was a MP list without them.
Best game Ive played in a long time and is probably my favorite fps to date. I only nit pick because I love it xD
So, 8 out of 10, huh...that's a must by my book (everything that gets "6 and/or more" in my personal rating system, is a must-buy).
I'm ready for the expansion. Let's pray they do it up right and market two long-form single player expansion missions
Let's hope ID Software do something similar to Wolfenstein: The Old Blood :D
+NiicoFEAR my thought exactly llol
Excellent review huber!!!
Great review, the single player is fantastic as a whole, and the gameplay itself is just fast, smooth, and furious. Impulse bought it on launch day and was presently surprised.
I was actually really gutted when I heard the news that gametrailers was closing down, and was incredibly elated when I heard about Easy Allies. I am still waiting for the top 100 games of all time, I was promised that in gametrailers (it is in the top 100 game trailers of all time video) and I am still holding you guys to that, gametrailers.com or not.
Huber,Swimming in 4 Stars!
Great review.
Loved this game. 10/10 for me. If I could give it an even better review, it would have to be this: DOOM is the greatest First Person Shooter experience I have had since Half-Life 2.
GT Video reviews were imo the best in the business. It's great to have them back. I subscribed to you guys for that, Thanks :)
gotta say i disagree with their view of the gorykills. i agree with ither reviewers that it actually speeds up the pace of the game. when a tough enemy gets staggard you fight like hell to get to him and down him to get your health back. its insanly fun and why all the ads showcase it. rip and tear indeed.
Not enough variety in glory kill animation must've prompted the critique. It should've added context animation as well like Killzone 3 melee kills which adapts the animation with the environment and also brutal its own way.
+Lolo Anno You have like 3-5 different animations for EACH demon, thats more than enough.
+The Bowser one I can confirm that on Ultra-Violence difficulty and above, the glory kills are NECESSARY, and you end up desperately trying to string as many of those together as possible. It's not about cosmetics at that point, it's about having even just a full second to relax from constantly dodging demons. And it's actually really fun :O
There were no new weapons added since the last doom... This game is lacking innovation // (3 1/2) stars
+GoLD-Hunter There's new weapons in multiplayer. Also, weapon mods make the existing weapons essentially new - they could've easily slapped those firing modes on new weapons but that would take away from the mechanics in a major way. In fact, the way this game deals with combat and larger groups of enemis is very innovative.
I watched some friends play this game and at first they treated it as COD, then very soon as the old Doom and in the very end, it clicked for them and they realised it's nothing like any of those. I guess the closest would be Bulletstorm, which may actually do this sort of game even better, still.
in today's landscape where all shooters are hide behind and regenerate health...this game is a breath of very fresh air which the industry needed
Lacks innovation name me one cod or battlefield game out now with as much emphasis on it's single player as this game has
So you're saying that Doom is about as good as Star Fox Zero then? ... I don't think I like this new 5 Star rating system.
i never understood why gametrailers was shut down. It was my favorite website. I'm glad i can still hear that voice in a videogame review. That's the voice of videogame reviews!
Great review as always guys! This game really makes me want another Quake III :D
Great review and the game looks awesome. Definite buy once I have the PS4!
Stars! Out of five like Giant Bomb? Ok, your reputation has gone up with me
Love this game. Here's to hoping ID software remakes DOOM 2 next
I haven't been this surprised by a game's quality since Human Revolution.
Great editing. The video feels as powerful as the game.
The soundtrack alone makes this game worth buying.
Wow, great review Huber, though it felt a bit cut off at the end, like it just finished abruptly
Props on the gameplay, whoever did it made the game look so good! Other video reviews made it look generic.
superb review! big up guys! :)
James Spader as the voice of a villian in a video game. I wasn't getting this game but now I am.
Great fucking game loved every minute except for Nightmare mode.
Such an improvement over the abismal review from IGN...
glory kill are optionnal.... you are not forced to to them.
+Jef Drouin He never said they were forced dumbass. He said they provide health and having the option constantly in your face pushes you to do them more often, making them break up the combat and become repetitive. Learn some comprehension skills.
And you can disable them in the option.
Fucking loser.
Played it at release in 2016, playing again in 2022. Still just as good.
this game has Redbox rental all over it. why release the same month and uncharted and overwatch?
There is nothing like these reviews! I'm so happy Easy Allies is a thing.
Cool score :) i liked the game too
Is Hayden the devil? Five bucks on Hayden being the devil.
That song is a variant of that awesome Doom 3 rock track. So awesome, I think it was made by some members of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson or something like that.
Which one? The one at the beginning?
Doom is back...and so is GameTrailers (in spirit)!
n1 review voice
brandon jones is the morgan freeman of video game reviews :)
This voice is so relaxing takes me back to Gametrailers.!
Finally we now have a fantastic Wolfenstein and Doom game!
You should use the word 'meaningful' less, if at all.
I don't like this new scoring. I don't know if 4 stars is 7 or 8. And it's much difference. And since most of the games are in the 7-8.5 zone this scoring is often useless. Plese go back to old good 1-10 scale.
Simply multiply their scores by 2 always. That gives you a 10 points score equivalent.
4x2 is an 8. 3.5x2 is a 7. Yes, they do half stars sometimes.
Absolutely fantastic! I've been a Gametrailers fan for such a long time, it's been my number one go-to place for gaming news and reviews. It's such a joy to see you guys up and running with Easy Allies! Review quality is superb, now i just got to finish Dark Souls 3 before i pick up Doom :)
Michael Huber its hype as always, Awesome review and DOOM is 9.5/10 my score.
Minutes before Doom Eternal releases... Time to kick this off baby
Good to see you guys are still around, was sad when GT closed down
Ya'll just moved over and started again, that's really awesome. Great review!
Oh yeahh Brandon ... keep talking .. don't stop.
So good to have you guys back! Hope the EasyAllies project works out and proves sustainable!
Finally got round to playing this on PC, soooo good but can't imagine playing it on a controller.
Dat console aim :(
That elitist tho
Can you review total war: warhammer please?
