overtly game-ified combat loop

Thank you, Doom aside this is the first time I've seen a gamer on a forum like this complain about that sort of thing. It's why I tend to enjoy so-called immersive sims because they try to hide the game mechanics from you so you don't notice you're in some kind of explore-struggle-win-level-up-repeat dopamine loop. Anyway Doom 2016 was awesome but I totally ignored the powerups and shit and just played it like an oldschool shooter. If DE doesn't let you do that it's a pass.
