Summary
Episode #554: DOOM: The Dark Ages is finally here, and it’s hitting Xbox Game Pass on day one—delivering a massive win for subscribers. In this episode, we dive into everything that makes this release a huge moment for the franchise: gritty medieval settings, brutal combat, and the evolution of id Software’s legendary formula. Whether you're a longtime DOOM fan or just curious what makes this entry special, we break down the highlights and first impressions.But not everything is sunshine and shotguns. The physical release of DOOM: The Dark Ages has sparked backlash, with many fans canceling pre-orders after learning the disc contains only a fraction of the game—just a 328MB "stub" requiring massive downloads. We unpack the growing frustration from collectors and preservationists who feel let down by this increasingly common industry trend.
