My YouTube feed is filled with nothing but overwhelmingly positive reviews. All I did was watch the trailer a while back, then a review with gameplay from some influencer that got early access.

I'm a huge doom fan dork, since the 90s. I'm old. But the trailer and gameplay had me thinking... meh.

I'll wait for a sale. But I'm curious if anyone else feels the same. Anyone normal play it? Specifically fans of 2016. Are these influencers getting paid to hype the game?

Anyone normal who bought day one, tell me I'm wrong and the hype is warranted. Just curious.

It was so unbelievably fucked up. They basically tried to ruin his life After putting him through an insane grind making that music

I almost feel like deeming Hulshult a scab/fink for doing the DLC soundtrack.

It’s tempting but man… Being a composer is difficult, doubly so if you’re in video games. Doom is an unbelievable opportunity and if I remember correctly ai think Mick even said he has no ill will towards who would inevitably take the reins after him. He has a very specific beef with a very specific group of people, in particular one person (Statton).
