I'm struggling to be interested in this game. There's always a trendy 
mechanic that gets shoved in every game from a specific time period: 
Crafting, Open world... This time it seems to be the parries, and it's 
enough to put me away. Thanks to the soulslikes, it has become another 
overused mechanic. I just want to move fast, circlestrafe, shoot a lot 
and and have reasonable amounts of  ammo and health (Basically, classic 
Doom, Quake 1 and Serious Sam).

I'm gonna wait until a) I have time to build a new PC and b) the game 
can be pirated. Doom Eternal soured me badly, but still not as much as 
Microsoft buying Bethesda in 2021. I'm not giving them any money, ever. 
Not even if the game is on sale.
