Playing this for the first time and what the fuck they went full retard with the story and setting. How the fuck do you go from Doom 2016 to this cartoon horseshit, why do they introduce so much shit out of nowhere without so much as an explanation. Why did they make the gameplay a fucking special ability juggling act. I thought the hate for this game was a meme but I'm genuinely pissed off, because it's not as good as 2016, but most of all because I fucking liked the story and setup they had going before and it feels like they wasted it all completely and now we will never get what could have been.
Should have just been a different shooter without the doom name man
Muh epic doomguy, muh tie-in with all the nostalgia!
Matthew White
wish i saved the pasta. was pretty funny
Zachary Carter
i have been saying the same thing but you get lynched for criticizing this game for some reason. doom 2016 was a good revamp for the series but eternal feels so hamfisted and tacky with it's references and plot. never thought id see the day where a doom game includes reddit fanart in the main area/hub.
i rememeber when doom was about some nameless marine fighting the forces of hell, not how doomguy is the ONLY one who can fight the Demon because he is THE SLAYER and is destined to go to dun'aark to kill demon khan makkua
Hudson Morris
All of the criticism you mention is valid, yet eternal is still a better game than 2016
its literally the same settings as 2016 - Research bases, mars surface, hell, etc except this time they added a bunch of new biomes like Antarctica, human cities, not-heaven and some other shit. More variety is fun, 2016 got pretty samey with its environments.
>Gameplay a fucking special ability juggling act
Nigger just lower the difficulty if you just want it to be a brainless shooter. The fact that Eternal has an actual learning curve in the year 2020 and rewards getting gud should be applauded
tl;dr, OP is a faggot who got filtered. Either go back to 2016 or ascend above your petty and unfounded arguments so you may git gud and partake in Ultra-Nightmare runs.
i think 2016 is better, but Zig Forums calls me a cuck!
Lucas Foster
you're right, doom 2016 is better, the only flaw doom2016 had was forced boss fights with health bars, they should have kept it like OG doom with arenas, not jumping fucking gay shockwaves.
Charles Jenkins
based 2016 bro
Michael White
So you wanted them to keep on the UAC / Mars storyline forever?
Nicholas Anderson
It does feel like a misstep with how seriously its all taken. There's nothing like Doomguy throwing away the monitor in this
Jace Lewis
marauders have been the single most fun enemy type I've seen this year
Jonathan Gomez
liked both ... menus look in d.e. like shit and yes esp. the intro is kinda off-ish but the total package delivers
Daniel Brooks
Who gives a fuck about the plot/lore/narrative. It's a id game, they suck at that shit. Gameplay is the only thing that matters and it is the best FPS and game of the year.
Landon Baker
I dunno about that, I still think 2016 was better
Nolan Harris
I dislike the introduction of so much shit without any real explanation. Why does doomguy have a fortress? Who is Khan Maykr? Why are there other doom marines when before it was just ghosts?
It's just so much dumped on you when last you saw you had just been bamboozled by robot man.
As for the abilities, someone else said it pretty well. 2016 rewards you for learning how to play it, Eternal punishes you for not playing how it wants
Josiah Cook
The platforming really doesn't add anything to the game
Blake Wood
>Playing this for the first time sure you are
John Williams
it adds platforming
Adam Baker
It's decent It's just such a disappointment coming from Doom 2016 to this.
Jaxson Brown
lol no it isn't
Asher Lewis
i think i spent more time swinging on monkey bars and chasing collectibles than i did shooting shit
Jordan Sullivan
So uh should I just always be using chainsaw? I kinda wanna save fuel to chainsaw big dudes but the tiny ammo supply makes that pretty rough
Kayden Hall
Seriously. I wanted to shoot stuff, not platform.
Jack Long
you will always regenerate 1 bar of chainsaw. go nuts on the little guys
James Brooks
They dropped the ball with the story window dressing except for confirming Doom Slayer is Doomguy, but the gameplay itself is much better than 2016 which was bland.
Kayden Rivera
Chainsawing big guys is the 2016 way.
Eternal way is chainsawing loot pinata zombies to replenish your ammo. Im not even sure you can chainsaw anything bigger than the mechspider thing
Henry Martinez
Keep the story in the mood of 2016 The visuals, enemy design from eternal The secrets from 2016, and dont let them be seen on minimap Remove most of the platforming, but keep the double dash Remove flamecannon, blood punch, infinite ammo zombies Add more ammo health and armor pickups
