Game is heat

meh, they're 'well made' but the gameplay loop is so fukking boring. No one is going to be mentioning doom eternal in 10 years, hell they don't even mention it now. Doom and subsequently quake were revolutionary games when they came out, as video games & programmatically with shyt like Quake's fast inverse square root. I feel like a lot of these types of franchises stop innovating and are just nostalgia bait. Same thing goes for Halo

All 3 of these doom games are very different from each other.

Doom changes/innovates with its new entries more than pretty much any other AAA franchise.

…..wish Mick Gordon was on the ost. But the soundtrack still goes hard.

We back like cooked crack brehs?

My man said Eternal is boring.

Couldn't be more contrarian if you tried.

I will say, programming wise, Doom Eternal's optimization is pretty remarkable. I'm not married to my opinions for sure. I may need to go give Eternal a retry.

Eternal was a lot of fun, how far did you get into it? It was a nice blend of platforming and hectic firefights imo

 

[Brief Keef]

Bro this map on chapture 5 is absurd

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

The shield mechanic isn’t doing it for me. I have to give it more time but right now, I feel like Eternal was better. We’ll see how I feel once I spend more time with it

 

[Stone]

Only thing I’m not really feeling is the dragon chapter. Everything else is A1

 

[Don Mack]

I like this better so far than Eternal. I got sick of the mandatory platforming.

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Finally played it.. it’s aight… it’s a doom game

 

[SilverSamurai]

I'm fukking with it

This feels like the closest thing we will ever get to a Quake 1 reboot.

 

[King Sun]

Eternal is still better but this is Crack still.

PlayStation gave me doom 2016 a while back and I bought the doom bundle on Xbox since it had all the other stuff. Get on this stuff. I’m mad I’m as late to the party as I am.

I had to tinker with this to get it somewhat acceptable
