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.
Just follow the green lights. That was some brilliantly understated game design in my opinion. It was enough to guide the player without beating them over the head with a giant flashing quest marker.
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.
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
Steamrolling stuff was kind of the appeal of Doom 2016 for me. I liked feeling like Doom Guy was a veritable force of nature. Doom Eternal took that joy and shit all over it in a way that I'll never forgive them for.
If they couldn’t handle Eternal then Dark Ages on UV will eat them alive.
Have you fiddled with game speed at all? A lot of people recommend jacking it up to 150%, but I question whether or not they’re just Eternal junkies.
