Yeah I wouldn't mind trying the Doom game once I've proved it's not Eternal. I hated Eternal. It also needs to be a lot cheaper. There's no reason for me to bite at over $20.
I recently bounced off Eternal for the third and probably final time. I just fucking hate that game. UI and color scheme are piss ugly. Nonstop interruptions to gameplay so they can tutorialize you on whatever new busywork mechanic they’re about to shove down your throat. Enemies exploding into neon ammo/health/armor pickups, taking you completely out of the game. Constant awkward platforming. Rigid precise strategies for killing every goddamn enemy, plus comically low max ammo, forcing you to switch weapons every 2-3 seconds. Eternal is a neon UI ADHD nightmare that feels like a goddamn job. 2016 is waaay better.
You've pretty much described everything I hate about it. I just so rarely had fun. I haven't tried again because when I did play it was when I had game pass, so I guess game pass saved me from paying for that garbage. I'm going to replay 2016 soon, I think for the third or fourth time. Love that game.
I've been running through 2016 for the second time and it's just as good as I remember. I just wish the fucking map wasn't so ass and I didn't get lost so much.
Doom DA is fun, imo. I get that it's overpriced but it's one of those franchises I have enjoyed forever and I'm not seeing a lot of wokeness or anything.
So you've played it? Is it full of platforming? My understanding is it was not. I've played Doom since it was brand new and simplicity of controls was just something I liked. It was never before that a complicated game.
Not as much platforming as the previous ones, no. Still full of secrets that require some exploration to figure out. The fights are fun, and I highly suggest you bump up difficulty to ultra violence at least when you can as anything below that you're steamrolling
This should be the assumed default for any modern game.
It's why I'm enjoying saving my money and replaying classics and discovering great games I hadn't played yet.
Between emulators, backlog, and abandonware, I'll never come close to running out of games
There are a few exceptions.
I'll eventually get Tony hawk 3+4 when it's on sale for five bucks for instance.
Same with doom dark ages.
But the days of buying new releases within even the first year or two are basically over.
There's a few things that could make me break that rule.
A neverending story video game
The Max Payne trilogy remake if it actually looks like they don't screw it up
A non-woke fallout 3 remake
A non woke remake of shadows of the empire.
A handful of other remakes of all time favorites

I have nothing to add other than my visceral agreement and application to join the angry mob when it comes time to get out the pitchforks and torches.

Why seek out a FO3 remake when you can just mod FO3 into a high-def remake?
Yep... get wabbajack
go to fallout new vegas, and install Tale of Two Wastelands (a mod that sandwiches both fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas into a single game)
then install a massive modpack like Wild card (which is like 800 mods) and enjoy the absolute best of Fallout can offer
i've already dumped like 200 hours on it, and additional 60 hours on DLC sized mods like the Frontier and Dry Wells
there is so much PREMIUM content to enjoy made by modders its insane why people even bother with Bugthesda and their craptastic gaymes
Especially now that we're seeing post-release woke-ification patches.
Or KCD2/Vavra turning his back on his supporters.
After reading Neverending Story I’d love an open world game set in that world
