Anyone got their key from cdkeys yet?

It was available on Monday I think

What's the verdict so far? Worth buying? Thanks.

£49.99! I'll be waiting for a few months I think.

Like wise, still haven't finished the 2016 one yet. The multiplayer was pretty good though

Only if you buy it full price. Try CDKeys instead.

I got bored of the 2016 one towards the end, once I see this one below £30 it'll have my interest.

Still over £30, I'll hold out for now.

I barely got passed the first 30 minutes, yet this one looks interesting...

The arachnatrons seem to be giving me a bit of a problem. I'm finding this harder than Doom 2016 (but in a good way).

£49 on steam... Ouch. £26 I paid on cd keys (not steam) last Sunday.

Coughed up £31.99 here

31 notes Holy covid. Can't remember what I paid release of Doom 2016. Pretty sure it was £30 notes. I tend not spash more than that where possible on a game.

Running it at 1440p and getting around 90-120 FPS but yet it still feels choppy.

Hades · 20 Mar 2020 at 10:28

Sadly I can't play it until tonight. But apparently this really shines at very high resolutions on the Radeon VII due to the massive memory bandwidth. So I can't wait to try that. Finally something to give my VII and Alienware widescreen a workout

Well here's a controversial opinion for you. I'm about four hours in and I prefer Doom 2016. Not that Eternal is bad, it's just... nowhere near as tight in terms of design as the first.

specs & settings? make sure shadows don't go above high, it's a real killer. there's definitely some fps fluctuations from scene to scene but it's overall solid otherwise.

100% agreed. For me Doom 2016 was as perfect a game gets in its totality. Eternal takes a lot of steps back as much as it does forward, but also goes harder into trade-off scenarios. The simplicity & focus of 2016 was sublime. Eternal is just a bit overloaded overall.
