I was just looking at Doom Eternal on Steam because it's on sale.
There are like 4 different "editions" at significantly different prices. I don't really know what's different between them.
Expansions/DLC are one thing and I'm not opposed to them. But different editions of the same game mean I have to do research as to exactly what I'm buying/missing. And fuck that. I see multiple editions, it means I won't be buying any of them.
If you're looking for more of Doom 2016 I would suggest skipping Doom Eternal. I got burned by that one, it doesn't play the same. Then I glitched through a floor and rage quit the whole thing and didn't look back.
THANK YOU! Finally see someone say it. I cannot for the life of me explain why people like Eternal as much. 2016 was amazing, the way to revive and old franchise and Eternal was to kick it back into the grave. Yet, everyone kept praising it. I was unsure if I was the crazy one or everyone else.
Eternal feels like someone somehow made an entire gameplay loop out of just the shitty parts of games. It's all artificial ammo starvation, leveling, and loot hunting strung together by quick time events with ridiculous forced camera shake. It feels less like I'm playing a game and more like I'm playing a bunch of bad cut scenes and annoying side quests.
All I wanted was more levels to play through and they couldn't even manage that. It was such a disappointment after such a strong showing in the previous installment.
To each his own, I suppose. I can’t go back to 2016 because it just seems too slow and clunky now. It did do a lot of things better than Eternal though, hopefully the third one will be a middle ground between the two. Or just play Project Brutality, that’s the best of both worlds.

And especially fuck "season passes" as well.

Doom Eternal isn’t even close to as good as 2016.
