Hmm

The only reason I say 80% is because you can still have fun using the super shotgun to kasplode demons even if it is the most pathetic super shotgun.

It feels like a DOOM movie. I was genuinely excited for the cutscenes because I thought something actually cool would happen, only to get sucked into to yet another railroad dragon section, even worse railroad mech section, or mission filled with ‘kill enemies to break shields’.

Idk, the ‘stand and fight’ gameplay stopped being fun when I realized that 80% of the guns were just functionally worthless and parry spam + impaler would solve all, not some, all of my problems. For 20 hours. Of basically the same mission objectives over and over and over.

I’m just gonna go back to playing Eternal if I want DOOM. ID fucked up DOOM 3, again (IMO).

Edit: I’ve beaten every DOOM on nightmare. If Eternal had ammo economy issues (which is a hill I will die on, even the newbies I got into Eternal didn’t struggle with ammo) then Dark Ages has an overabundance problem. Why would I ever switch weapons when I have the ammo economy of Eternal on crack and switching weapons puts my shield down? Why play a DOOM game if not for all the different weapons to kill demons with?

Edit used disclaimer incorrectly, should have said something like:

Noteworthy point: I’ve beaten every modern doom on nightmare.

This doom game is such a departure from the doom series that it is just a bad game.

The game can be beaten with a single gun and parry. Every single time I ‘struggled’ it was because I was playing the game to have fun (silly me) and wasn’t spamming shield. Every single encounter ended almost immediately once parry spam was activated.

The final boss literally did not touch me. This game was a really really bad joke.

Edit: I am genuinely convinced there is a fleet of shills portraying this game as good and a lot of old people influencing it. Like, they downgraded the game to a fucking boomer shooter. This game gave me destiny vibes, in that it was a very pretty cake only to find that it was filled with shit.

Edit 2: I forgot the most important part; there isn’t a single difficulty related achievement. I know, because I beat the game on nightmare.

Until you garand your thumb

Please, I didn’t mean it - I’m sorry

No, I will make sure everyone understands that the game they subjectively like is objectively bad. I refuse to back down when people are making very clearly outlandish statements.

Edit: prove that it’s a rhythm game without using sequential button presses as a metric.

Rhythm games are consistent every time.

Pressing buttons sequentially does not a rhythm game make. By your, incorrect, definition — fuckin WoW is a rhythm game.

I’m more inclined to believe that any attempt at tightening the sheet down will inevitably create holes at the corners.

Pretty sure there’s a reason fitted sheets exist. Like, imagine this advice for a t-shirt?

‘Just get a really big piece of cloth and kind wrap it around yourself a few times, then stick a pin in it’

To each their own but — no, I think I’ll stick to my shirt.

They’re here too

I’m glad you asked, the answer is:

CHILD LABOR

Yeah, I definitely pissed off the geriatrics/children in this thread — Eternal was peak. 2016 was a good start. Dark Ages is a joke.

Actually, I’m seeing that it might just be a good controller shooter. Which, of course, means that it is fundamentally furthest from doom as a concept.

Bad game, went from ‘will buy every ID IP from now on’ to ‘YAAAARRRR’ after 12 chapters. Idk if I’m even going to finish it, I’m probably just gonna go for another Eternal UN run.

The idea that anyone likes doom 2016 without liking dark ages despite dark ages being more of a gameplay successor to 2016 - genuinely fucking baffling.

BOTW was a good open world game, though - Doom 3 was a cheap attempt at plastering a survival horror skin onto the Doom IP. The level design was bad, the jump scares were cheap - the only thing it had going for it was that it was the first 3d doom.

Riight

This will be a very amusing conversation with my friends. Cope harder, dark ages is shit.

Edit: by the way, it takes 20 seconds to charge one pip of the chainsaw. If you’ve somehow used all of your resources in 20 seconds and the thing isn’t dead; you’re just bad. Not to mention infinitely spawning fodder for ammo.

Which makes it… a bad doom game. …

You will not revisionist history this game, there is nothing wrong with subjectively liking a bad game but the fact remains: doom 3 was bad.

guns and ammo all loop back on each other

First off, it’s a first person shooter. What you’ve said is literally how first person shooters work. Not to mention: if you’re suggesting that I’m larping while trying to suggest you don’t have nigh infinite ammo for every encounter in eternal… idk, I’m gonna laugh at you with my other friends who love doom.

Second, are you suggesting that you like the fact that you only need to use one out of… how many, 16 weapons?

Ewww I don’t like the fact that this game… makes me play it and doesn’t just let me autopilot through everything.

Yes I’m sure that Dark Ages has appeal to kids and old people. I am neither.

Dark ages is a dumbed down version of doom 2016. That is the best way I can describe it.

And, I’m sorry - but doom 3 was just bad.

A rhythm game?

Who did you get that from? Doom Eternal is in no way a rhythm game, weapon swapping was no different from 2016 to DE. The only enemy that ‘requires’ it is the marauder and god forbid you need to switch between two weapons.

No, better to strip everything that made Doom good - down to the fucking double jump. Bad joke.

Every single encounter is braindead. There are like 8 true demons. There are 3-4 weapons (the others are worthless), and literally never a reason to use any of them but the impaler and the BFC (which is functionally completely different than the BFG).

I have not used my brain for any of the encounters. I throw my shield to deal with checks notes 80% of the encounter, spamming parry and impaler headshots to simply annihilate every boss or even remotely threatening enemy.

The game is fucking boring.

Edit: this isn’t even discussing the fact that it seems like every encounter is dEfEaT eNeMiEs To BrEaK sHiElD. Very dumbed down sequel to 2016.
