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