Looks like I gotta buy more copies to make up for it so people stop telling me my comfort game is a slop flop

and even if TDA doesn't reach eternal numbers, that doesn't make it a flop, because eternal is the best selling doom game ever obviously not every game is gonna reach exactly eternal numbers

cunning shale

#

they want people using gamepass and they want player numbers
and both of those have succeeded
and it's still selling well just not as much as eternal

it is factually not a flop lmfao

chiakithink if the game is a flop then why is it currently selling well and has a large playerbase
chiakithink saying "it's not as much as eternal" =/= "it's a flop"

i still dont see why you can't just let id have this win of selling that many copies in the first week

harsh egret

# uneven dragon the revenue is not only coming from gamepass though

True but if games areant selling well outside of gamepass which doom the dark ages doesn’t seem to be then it becomes how much does it drive for gamepass.

That we’ll have to wait and see. Sales wise it’s not good. It’s quite poor. You’re not stupid I assume? You can see steam player numbers of doom the dark ages and oblivion remaster and Clair 33 all day 1 gamepass games.

Oblivion is at 216k peak. Clair was well above 130k last I checked. Doom eternal was like 111k peak.

I think it’s a not-flop enough to warrant potentially another future doom game

Oh I see what you guys mean

orchid marten

What I’m saying which should be obvious based on sales is it’s not an instant commercial success and as of rn it’s deep in the red. Hopefully that’s not the case in the future if it gets enough gamepass subs and long term sales.

thats a crazy exageration lmao

it has a large playerbase and lots of people are playing through gamepass

microsoft is happy about that

they will let bethesda/ID make another doom game

#

some of you on twitter too much lmao

orchid marten
#

After this, there isnt much to do. The story effectively came to an end in eternal and rn we are playing the early past of the slayer. What much could they do after that? Its not a "this game was a failure" ending, its the "what are we supposed to do now" ending

The game still has 30k peak on Steam, just 10k less than 16 peak and this game is on gamepass where most people are playing, and Microsoft know this would happen so they are totally benefitting. If it didn't they wouldn't have it on gamepass

# uneven dragon prove that how much did it cost them to make it

51-200 employees working for about 4-5 years. Hard to say.

I can only make an educated guess based on other games and the fairly lengthy dev time and medium sized studio.

Not cheap. Probably 50 mill?

Frankly anything in the 50-300mill is a pretty good estimation. It’s hard to know since it’s a team under Bethesda under zenimax under Microsoft lol.

How much they spent on marketing is the biggest X factor

wispy flower
#

Definitely more

harsh egret
#

more than 50mil for SURE

honest vortex
#

To each their own.

I think Meathook is the most bland and soulless combat song Mick Gordon has ever produced.

Or atleast very very close to it

tawdry crypt
#

awesome pfp, 10/10

orchid marten
#

I dont think tag 2 was rushed they just put more effort into telling the story rather then enhancing the gameplay like tag 1 did. Imo tag 2 has the same vibe as TDA to me

More effort into the story rather then gameplay

I wish they let us turn off parry color attacks, imagine melee without a parry color so you'd have to rely on their animations, or all ranged attacks being the same color as their non parry attacks. I need that as a difficulty option.

cunning shale
#

Usually a safe bet is take a games budget and double it that’s the games cost. Marketing generally costs about as much as the game itself.

This is for the AAA space at least. Not applicable to like AA

You can adjust the color of the parry somewhere. Just turn the parry color to the same color as the other attacks and its basically the same thing like turning it off

Like I can’t link my ps5 account with Bethesda it keeps saying link failed and to contact support

#

The saving grace is id tech isn’t a massive team. And the id tech engine can go onto power other games it already has. So despite the pretty long dev time.

So this game may not need to be very profitable to have been worth it. May even be okay to be a loss given id tech 8s engine value.

I know I have a degree in finance. I know why it costs so much. Doesn’t mean it’s not insane.

If anything it’s easier if you’re ignorant. Knowing the costs and calculating stuff in your head breaking things down it’s a lot.

My issue with the ssg is that i want to try to use my arsenal as much as possible. I know its not intended that way, but thats how i have fun. The problem with the ssg is that the swap speed for it is so insanely slow that it gets me killed more then it helps because i cant swap guns with it

Does the vast majority like Eternal more than Dark Ages?

I keep seeing Eternal beat Dark Ages in polls, and MoistCriitikal as well as SkillUp for example says Dark Ages is good but doesn't hold a candle to Eternal or even 2016.

For now I don’t, eternal is harnessing the flow state both with music and gameplay

I think this "less brutal" is people describing what I mentioned re: spamming input, the old titles were more engaging and required skill and practice to excel at, this new title feels more laid back, you can just kick back and spam input until everyhting is dead, there's less to it

It's just when you understand Eternal's loop, you become the most godlike and invincible version.

Dash spam, chaingun energy shield which is basically God mode, and air mobility spam, and the absurdly high pinata levels of health, armor, and ammo drops makes you unstoppable and have pretty much no tension at all even when you're almost dead.

Even Hugo Martin thought Eternal's Nightmare was the easiest Nightmare of the new DOOM games
