For me anyway, my loss of interest in the DOOM franchise began when they started dehumanizing the Doom Marine and started stacking fantasy/medieval elements to the main protagonist and his arsenal. They turned a futuristic space marine who just got punished for punching an officer into some sort of fantastic demigod thing. It got really bad in Doom Eternal already.
I like my DOOM games when it is a battle of sci-fi military forces against demonic forces. Human technology versus the hordes of hell. But now with Dark Ages Bethesda turned the franchise into a more violent and edgy Skyrim.
from the gameplay I’ve watched so far it’s just been turned into a completely different game now. eternal was barely hanging on to the ethos of it, and now theres throwing blades and maces and shit? that’s not doom anymore.
Honestly I’d have been down for Doomguy turning into a literal demigod of demon murdering but I’d want his look to reflect it. Right now he’s in this weird position where he’s basically magic but they didn’t want to get rid of his look.
