It's a good game the only bad thing about it was not the game itself but how the studios screwed over Mick Gordon.

So not a lot of leftism (in fact a few jabs here and there like the example here) but greedy pricks.

His money, his choice. I don't get on people's cases for being whales on gatcha games so if he wants to throw his paycheck into the black hole of a money laundering operation, go ahead.

Me, if I was intent on blowing money like that, depending on location, I'd either spend it on a shooting range to mag dump an LMG or the classic 'hookers and blackjack' route.

Yeah, I just used the trial game pass to play it on my PC. It's ussually crazy cheap for the first month.

Hard disagree. Doom Eternal was pretty egregiously inferior to its predecessor.

Honestly Doom Eternal isn't a bad game, its just not as good as its predecessor. The music is a pretty solid downgrade and the overall flow of the game just isn't as good

Doom Eternal is a great game. It's just not a great Doom game. They also basically pissed on the first game with so much exposition and WORDS

Doom and Doom Eternal were actually pretty on the nose about the demons being an analog for replacement migration. I'm honestly surprised it didn't become a huge controversy. Here are some examples:

My brothers and sisters, let's help to make our friends' [referring to demons] transition into their new world a comfortable one.

Earth is the melting pot of the universe.

Do not run from our mortally challenged guests. Be a good host to our new friends.

See new sights. Make new friends. Soar to new heights. Join the official mortally-challenged visitor welcoming committee, today!

It's so obvious it borders on badly written. I do appreciate the message though.

That line was basically half the marketing for the game, that's why they leaked it well before the game came out.

Of course this board has to crap on the newest version of anything lol.

Watch the flow state this dude achieves, nothing like it in gaming and yes that includes Doom 2016

Eternal has a perfect ratio of action to silliness. The demon designs have an inherent caricature element to them that they play into really well. This is not just a good game, it's an all time great.

Tards who hit every single button in a game and uber-try hard are gay. Just play well like a normal faggot

You don't need to even be close to that guy's skills to get the same feeling. I only play on Hurt Me Plenty. The combat loop is pretty much perfect.

Just started playing it last week. I guess I'm getting old because I'm finding the "Hard" difficulty actually hard and I don't have the time to git gud like I used to. Actually going to have to put it down to normal next time I play.

No, Eternal is just stupidly difficult. Honestly it's to the point where it's just not fun on the hardest difficulty after a certain enemy gets introduced, and that's coming from someone who always sets the difficulty in every action game to maximum. It's weird, because I beat Doom at the highest difficulty and it felt just fine. Hard but beatable.

I've noticed that the old "the highest difficulty is for masochists only" trend of the 90s is becoming a thing again. Horizon Forbidden West did the same thing. The highest difficulty level was a slog, and in fact made doing some of the trials the intended way impossible because the enemy health scaled so high. Zero Dawn, on the other hand, was perfectly balanced at its highest setting.

Huh. I'm usually someone who doesn't play games on hard by default, but decided to play Eternal on Hard from the start and found it to be a bit on the easy side. There were a few times I got stuck on a section and would die a few times, but nothing too much I felt. Even did all the trials and stuff to unlock the Unmaykr.

Dunno what the DLC is like though. Didn't feel like grabbing it.

I should note that I wasn't playing on "hard", I was playing on whatever the hardest non-permadeath one was called. Nightmare, I think? But I can absolutely see most people finding anything above normal to be overwhelming.
