DOOM Open Beta is Extended by an Extra Day

Been busy over the weekend? Haven't had any time to check out id Software's and Bethesda's DOOM Open Beta, which was scheduled for the 15th of April, lasting until the 17th? Well, looks like you're in luck, because thanks to vocalizing fans, the beta will be extended by a full extra day. According to the official DOOM Twitter account, the devs announced that the beta will not end on Monday at 11:59pm ET. So if you haven't been able to dive in quite yet, then please do check it out tonight. I'm certainly going to take advantage of this time and write up an impressions article based on the beta. So far all over the internet, critics have been deeming the game as not exactly "DOOM-like," being rather generic and not at all like expected.

In fact, on Steam, the user reviews have been largely negative.

Here are just a couple of reviews:
 

"Remember when Doom had loadouts, tiny maps (that don't make sense), XP progression with CoD-like perks, forced mouse acceleration, matchmaking and was basically a console game?
This isn't a Doom game, it's a Halo game using the Doom license."

"The good:
- It's called DOOM
- The music is kinda neat

The bad:
- uninspired map design
- unlocking stuff by gaining experience / levels.
- class loadouts
- hack modules (modifiers like 'wallhack', 'power armor' etc when spawning)
- maximum of two weapons at a time
- no weapon pickups
- universal ammo
- slow movement
- damage on enemies shown with numbers flying out
- impractical hud with annoying rewards filling the screen for almost every stupid action you do (CoD anyone?)
- horrendous melee gameplay
- glory kills with takedown animations that take ages, rendering you completely defenseless
- no skill required

tl;dr: This is NOT the arena shooter you're looking forward to. Avoid."

Hopefully, I will feel differently, but this may not be the case. Anyway, the open beta has been extended by another full day, so take the opportunity while you can if you haven't tried it out yet. DOOM will release May 13 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
