Doom the dark ages

You fucking LIED to me Anon Babble. It’s KINO.

you're right
it is closer to a movie than a game

it's gay

no actual screenshots

just a cover/promo material

buzzwords

It's a bait, you didn't play it

2016 is still the king

Doom but medieval

Isn't that just Heretic?

I skip all cutscenes and it loads in 1 second so this isn’t a problem

flying cybernetic dragons while slaughtering demons with metal music playing. Yeah nah..go play Expedition 33 or what ever else you trannies play.

2016 is great but no. Dark Ages clear it and Eternal.

Heretic is irrelevant

The three strikes of Doom: The Dark Ages
Strike one: Manjaw "woman" front and center
Strike two: Turret sections
Strike three: Censoring "Too Young to Die"

That's three strikes, you're out. And let's not forget: $70 plus tip, Denuvo, no game on disc, and thinking that being "story focused" was a good idea for a game about an Angry Man killing Demons.

You’re poor and can’t run it

Can we get Quake already?

i miss glory kills

Unless they’re going to make labyrinth maps with 0 gimmicks and NiN music then no

no one likes the dragon levels bro you gotta take this out of your bait

Not as gay as Steve Saylor from the Special Thanks credits. But OP is right though. It's still a fun game.

no one likes the dragon levels bro

Who is no one? Third worlders (that didn’t play it) and mentally ill people on Anon Babble and steam forums?

If he unironically uses kino he might be a retarded Anon Babble crossposter who enjoys capeshit and this doom iteration is basically a marvel movie.

I don’t pay attention to the story in doom games. I skip all cutscenes.

it looks like fucking warhammer. that is not the visual identity of doom.

nta but I'll take the bait

I have a 4070 ti super

I paid 35€ for the fucking goty that is expedition 33, no way I'll pay 60€+ for a fucking single player 10 hour fps and also, fuck all of this "if you don't pay 110€ you can't play on the release day and have to wait 3 days"

what about the unskippable cutscenes

I paid 35€ for the fucking goty that is expedition 33

See

That'll be 70$ plus tip

make a game fun rather than a tryhard autistic challenge

people actually like it

it's good

Who would have thought.

Never listen to the crying "no fun allowed" autist crowd.

Doesn't hold a fucking candle to eternal and is also a bit worse than 2016

Bethesda: were removing glory kills

aw man I actually liked them wtf

Bethesda: don't worry! It's because there's way more enemies on screen now! It would make the game too slow :)

oh OK thats actually a good compromise

game comes out

the "more enemies on sceen" just meant huge 20 man groups of shield guys who blow up the entire squadron of the group all huddled together

slower than 2016 and eternal

some of the most fucking goofy looking projectiles I've ever seen in a game. Everything is a giant over exaggerated looney toons bullet because the retard devs couldn't think of a way to show what could be parried and blocked better

basically 0 feedback of when I'm getting hit. Will be casually killing demons and suddenly out of nowhere the screen fades and the life sigil notification appears

Anon Babble is always wrong..

>Bethesda: were removing glory kills

>aw man I actually liked them wtf

your opinion is literally fucking worthless lmao

MOOOOM THEY REMOVED THE QTES FROM GOD OF WAR HOW COULD THEEEEY

These. Fucking miss glory kills. All ID had to do was keep the whole "3 charges of blood punch thing" and made the 3 of them saved give you a glory kill. That way we don't have that retarded "shoot thing until it starts glowing" and you're forced to do one mechanic and could still have fun.

Glory kills aren't QTEs retard. And they're infinitely better than "woaaaaahhhhh slow motion kick!!!!"

Rule of cool.

Cool:

contextual animations for each enemy type

Not cool:

static slow mo kick/punch/shield/hammer melee attack that lasts as long as a cool animation would

make a game that quadruples down on plot and story cutscenes

oops all filler and basically turns doom into he-man but with gore

Anon Babble unironically likes glory kills now

You can’t make this shit up

Yeah true but the problem is dark ages still encourages basically the same thing the only difference is you don't get a fun little satisfaction animation now. They could of just removed the focus on close quarters melee entirely but instead gave us a gimped and less impressive looking version of it. Glory kills are still in but their maybe .05 seconds faster and not as satisfying. Either put them in or don't.

I'd take that at this point over the melee shit they implemented that goes slow-mo on every single individual blow. Fucking hell, someone's already modding that out and the pacing flows a lot better.
youtu.be/ddzUGWdxsyA
As repetitive and unnecessary as glory kills were to the formula, you take it away in favor of a streamlined version and you realize brief breaks were good for keeping a player from wearing themselves out by 100% combat alert all the time. Plus they were a lot more satisfying than just bonking something til it eventually stops being a damage sponge and finally keels over.

I always did. Since 2016.

the classic face in the UI

mod? or skin?

i got 4 hours in Dark Ages so far, and im having 9000 tons of fun, its fucking awesome.

These sum it up perfectly. Dark ages still has glory kills, they just cheaped out so they could cut the animation budget.

Neither. It’s in the options menu. Just change hud to classic

it's an options menu thing by default tucked away in there

Option in the settings.

Always have. Seen a lot of people here say they take ages and ruin the flow but they most likely have autism. They all last maybe 2 seconds at most. Like others have said, I'd rather 2 seconds of a dopamine releasing "woah sick!" Animation over two seconds of looking at doom guys boots while the demon he just kicked fades from existence.

basically 0 feedback of when I'm getting hit. Will be casually killing demons and suddenly out of nowhere the screen fades and the life sigil notification appears

This is a big problem I have that I've seen no one mention. Almost every death has been from getting shot from behind because there's zero feedback.

are you fucking serious?
christ i must be blind, i somehow missed this in the options.
thanks guys!

thats awesome, thanks lads!

I know I’m in the minority here but I always enjoyed the fact that nudoom offered the classic center aim view. Im fucking pissed that they didn’t include it because of the big ass captain America shield blocks a quarter of the screen.

Why not just make certain projectiles unblockable?

here's a shield to block attacks since you can't dash

but you can't block certain thing arbitrarily

Nah, that'd be gay.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I thought it was because I had "screen effects" turned off because of the whole BLOODY SCREEN YOU ARE LOW ON HEALTH bullshit but I turned it back on and same issue. One time before I had full health and backed myself into a corner by mistake, suddenly out of nowhere my health was sky rocketing down from 150 to like 10 despite none of the demons infront of me hitting me, turned around and there was a zombie in the corner. I don't want big red hit markers or anything but like there was no indication I was being hit, just my health bar randomly going down in 25s

Nice try Swapnils

There’s a directional hit indicator in the options…..

The damage you take by UV/Nightmare doesn't help. It's like jesus fucking christ, I feel like Wolfenstein TNC all over again as some asshole Arachnotron from halfway across the area swiss cheeses you unavoidably and it's hard to tell exactly how much damage you're eating as it covers your screen, but meanwhile some actual enemy projectiles tap you with nary a notice and suddenly you're nearly dead from full health/armor immediately. You can turn on indicators to notify you that projectiles have been fired in certain directions but it's very lazily done and not all that useful in the heat of things.

some of the most fucking goofy looking projectiles I've ever seen in a game. Everything is a giant over exaggerated looney toons bullet because the retard devs couldn't think of a way to show what could be parried and blocked better

This is my biggest fucking complaint. This is an art design nightmare and honestly feels like some kind of unity asset flip. Most enemy attacks in this game have fuck all consistency. Instead of

zombie has gun

zombie points gun

blast comes out of gun barrel and is shaped like barrel

It's instead

zombie has gun

zombie points gun

a fucking line with a ball at each end that's not only 80 times wider than the ROUND CENTERED BARREL but also 4 TIMES WIDER THAN THE ZOMBIE ITSELF comes out

It reminds me of playing little big planet back In the day and people would create enemies with no animations who just "emit" bullets and hazards at you.

I think the games fine. Just fine. It's nothing compared to 2016 or eternal and this thread basically hits all my complaints with it

slowest of the nudooms

I miss glory kills with cool animations, this game still basically has glory kills but took the fun out of them

enemy projectiles looking like they came from fucking cuphead but worse

hit indication being absolutely ass, no I will not turn on your casual "AN ENEMY HAS FIRED" notifications. Either make doom guy grunt or make better hit detection sound effects instead of me having to rely on the loud BEEP when my health reaches critical (bit late for that)

Besides that though, it's fine.

people thinking the accessibility configuration for difficulty shit was meant to make the game for babies, feels more like they were so scared at trying to be a bullet hell lite as a shooter that they use it as a crutch instead for players finding it obnoxious to keep getting shot in the ass

He does grunt in the game

Well I ain't hearing shit nigga

There’s an option in the settings menu that might be turned off. Either that or you have to fuck around with the audio settings because the sound mix is horrible.

doom guy was transbian all along

youtu.be/v1uG9Mmbu3s?si=XWotJl3Kx7Lln8XK
remixes are better than official shit
youtu.be/8xTSoR-C7V0?si=8UAeSHTT5VfuOprF

If I enjoyed DOOM 2016, would I like DOOM Eternal?

Maybe I'm just bad in the brain but this game at ultra-violence feels way harder than Eternal did, I played and finished TAG1 on nightmare yet this is filtering me. I'm dying over and over again because I feel like I have no control over the battles, switching weapons is so slow that I barely do it at all.

I feel like a retard playing it. I can't into the parries, they're not hard to time at all its just that its not what my brain is thinking as I'm playing. I still hit shift constantly to dash and R to use the flame belch as if I'm playing Eternal, I forget that melee is even an option except when enemies light up purple.

It's all so generic. It's the most stock metal thing you'd expect from a different franchise trying to be Doom without understanding the reboot music so far. Never feels like it creates a proper atmospheric noise, just that it is filler using guitar sounds.

Do you want a higher intensity with a game that requires you understand which weapons are best per which enemies at any given moment, swapping and mixing strategies on the fly while having something that's pretty much the FPS equivalent of a fighting game in how crazy later/DLC fights can get, at least on the highest difficulties? Eternal basically iterated on 2016 and then shifted things around quite a bit, so that's up to you to discover if you feel that's up your alley, or if you're like me and prefer 2016's simplicity by comparison.

Interesting, thanks.

and for the lore players, the game leads directly into Doom 2016's Slayer Testaments

I mean from a certain perspective they were right, but from another they really weren't honest about how pointless this game actually is
youtube.com/watch?v=G4Uw3m_dPpw

I really, really like this from DOOM 2016. Eternal's music from what little I've heard doesn't sound as good, same from the bits I've heard of Dark Ages.
youtube.com/watch?v=r7ykY7PR1Mk

I shred the guitar or pet my dog

There's too many options so I just turn them all off. Not having fun.

Anon Babble unironically likes whatever is actually cool

Holy shit who could have predicted that Anon Babble is actually human

Pong: the dark ages

DOOMSLAYER gets a wacky spi-off where he plays tennis with the spawn of hell! BUT ONLY HIT THE GREEN BALLS DOOMSLAYER!

the cutscenes are so fucking gay, manchild energy over all of them. "HES SO FRICKIN BADASS!! SUCH A BADASS FRICKIN HARDCORE DUDE"

God damn. Doomguy smashing the elevator comm in 2016 is cooler than any tryhard shit they put in these elaborate cutscenes.

so, Anon Babble, what does good metal sound like?

There’s no such thing

meshuggah - bleed
youtube.com/watch?v=U4GXNzom6ik

Sorry, I only listen to swing metal
youtube.com/watch?v=m2mZVOd0jWY

And how would that work with shield?

It sounds like TDA. And that's why it sucks. Metal sucks. 2016 and Eternal had good soundtrack because of the fart guitar and futuristic sounds that seem to be nowhere to be seen in the new game.

youtube.com/watch?v=Z-71-i1akB0
youtube.com/watch?v=wj0ts9gwvbs

unironically

Be quiet retard. Go back to twitter or discord or wherever it is you shit in the gutter

You can still can depending on the enemy. if you jump on them whle it's flashing and push e (or whatever it is on controller) you execute them.

It's only 1 same animation per enemy.

Oh please, cut with this crap, is thanks to retarded like you that we have this kind of shit now, do a favor to everyone and just kill yourself

is that a...no...NO THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, IT'S A SQUID

genuinely worst in the nudoom series, the fun of 2016 and eternal is just not there. if you like holding left click at midrange or playing easy, repetitive parrying minigames you might like it but god damn i'm so bored.

The only cool thing I've seen so far. Yes the game has huge environments but it all just feels so forgetable.

there's a part later on where you genuine spoiler go inside cthulu and my friend sounded completely exasperated asking why it still looked exactly like the rest of the game

shill faggot get with the times kino isn't used anymore

does anyone here think this game will have the kinds of fans that Eternal and 2016 does? I'd be genuinely surprised.

So it's a movie game?

New games
Doom 2016 > Doom Eternal > Doom dark ages

Old games
Doom 64 > Doom 3 > Doom 1 > TNT > Doom 2 > Evilution > master levels

look it's a squid
it's artificially intelligent
i hope someone gets this reference from a old YT classic

Its less bad than I thought, but it is still bad
Fuck, so far the best part out of the entire game has been the Atlan stage

They removed glory kills yet added the most obnoxious slowdown on every parry and melee. Why can we not turn this shit off? It's just like God of War 2018.

basically 0 feedback of when I'm getting hit. Will be casually killing demons and suddenly out of nowhere the screen fades and the life sigil notification appears

I honestly thought I was just bad, but I'm glad other people are confused about just suddenly dying.

I just started the game and it feels way better than Eternal. Much more all your weapons work good and you swap to what you enjoy less switch through everything because you're running out of ammo ahh. Much better melee mechanics, love charging star. The story seems dumbing than ever but "story in a Doom gamelolmao"

I would

I am liking it a lot, it's the chaos of eternal but less constrained I feel. Every weapon is good. (besides shredder maybe lmao)

it's so much more constrained man, shit look at your gameplay. you're just parrying and using one weapon and occasionally pressing punch. but you have to do that, if you swapped in this situation, like to a grenade launcher to blow up all the clustered knights or something fun like that, you would've gotten jumped because it's slow and you can't block mid-swap. it sucks.

is thanks to retarded like you

Another poorfag ESL lmao.

I actually enjoyed the 'oops all hell knights' room

TNT is Evilution.

i could pull out a skull shredder and just mow all them down, if that was eternal the only way to survive would be ice bomb into running away

youtube.com/watch?v=oswtp2151ec

Doing what you want is quite literally the opposite of being restrained.

damn you are right i ment to put plutonia in TNTs place place

I can't do what I want and what he's doing is basically the exact same thing that I did bar a change in weapon because it's the only thing you can do.

in eternal you'd just throw down a frag, maybe do a hookshot launch and then gib them all with destroyer blade. there are way meaner rooms than this in master levels, doomguy's power level is much higher

it's not. kys

hoo lord i need a break

I was ready to complain about the music, but with the way this game is mixed I swear I hardly ever hear it. Only the occasional

CHUGGA CHUG CHUG

guitar during certain fights. I honestly can't even tell if it's a different song or not when the guitars pick up.

guns feel like you're doing negative damage

90% of your time is spent Press X To Kool because the game rewards you for not using your guns

ammo for punches

this is a doom game

probably why they sorta made up for it with

Siege part 1

Abyssal Forest

the cosmic levels

But enough about Eternal. Thankfully in TDAs you can use any gun you want and they all kill shit well.

2016 >>>>>>>>>> dark ages > eternal
simple as

Try jumping at a staggered demon next time you execute them.

eternal>2016>>>>>dark ages>>>>>>>>>>>power gap>>>>>>the vehicle missions in dark ages

dark ages = eternal>>>>>>>>>>>>

yeah you could do nade + destroyer blade but that's about it. in TDA i can just parry the whole room and mow them down how it pleases me, instead of quick swapping while running away.

Can't wait for nuDOOM4 to come out and everybody slobber all over TDA because now it's the old game. It's the same shit every fucking time with you faggots.

This is going to sound petty as all hell, but the cartoon bite / scratch / teeth marks that pop up when you get hit take me right the fuck out of the game. I couldn't stand it for more than a few minutes. Fuck this game.

I fucking hate eternal. Doom the dark ages is better

half naked guy

fully covered up bossy looking woman with a square jaw

lmfao

there's a fight with 2 of them later on :)

He's a good father, not letting his daughter be a whore.

but the cartoon bite / scratch / teeth marks that pop up when you get hit take me right the fuck out of the game.

You can turn that off and it’s in eternal as well

2016 did them nearly perfectly. Turn off the stupid "enemy glows neon when you can glory kill them" and force yourself to learn to do it on the fly by enemy reactions and it is fantastic. You don't use them all the time, only when you need to. Eternal took this way too far.

But enough about Eternal.

No, this is 2016 and Shart Ages.
2016 pivoted away from SHOOTING for gay ass QTEs that somehow make 90000000 health and ammo explode from the pinata enemies.
Eternal backed off it for gun switching ADD
Then Shart Ages comes and ramps back up the QTE shit even further. Where the enemies may as well be demon energy of ammo and health with how much they drop

any good source of faltering would do the trick.

Eternal backed off it for gun switching ADD

Nigger, Eternal added MORE of that with fire = armor on top of glory kill = health and chainsaw = ammo.

except eternal you have to glory kill way less in because they gave you other ways to generate health and armor. especially on nightmare glory killing everything was pretty much the ONLY way to get your health back in 2016.

guns feel like you're doing negative damage

You have played for 5 minutes.
The second tier of all the guns tear through shit, particularly the Super Shotgun.

meanwhile the basic shotgun in all other Doom games is punchy, satisfying and relevant throughout the entire game

Yeah, nah. It is cliché at this point but Dark Ages just does not understand what Doom is about (any previous iteration, even not just "classic" Doom).

you basically have weakpoint falter and grenades, dunno what else you mean.

thats 3 sources and frags are very awkward to use because they have a shitty button sharing console design so you might be honest and say 2 ways to get a timeout during carnage moments, actually make that 1 because you can't just weakpoint falter at will so its really just the ice bomb. you're so massively handicapped if you go up against masses of enemies like a madman, which you can do in TDA. idk why you're coping hard about this, with the right inputs in TDA you just falter half the map at will and carry on the carnage. in eternal you use your ice bomb and get the hell out before they un-freeze

kino

I think it's high time mods add this to wordfilter, it has became as universal as yos and kcuc in a "I just say word, this is my entire fucking argument" way

fuck

chaingun has a high chance of faltering with normal fire

remote detonation rocket can falter/interrupt

microwave beam detonation will falter

chaingun shield bash will falter

chaingun shield projectile will falter

plasma heat blast will falter

destroyer blade AOE will falter

there are so many fucking sources of faltering in doom eternal I don't even think this is all of them.

Kino

youtu.be/d-94T9Lb1FU?si=8Cp-ojKDsD-UNYJv

this game just doesn't look great, it's too foggy and desaturated. everything ends up blending together.

you're missing the point

none of them lets me go toe to toe with a room full of hell knights, that's what TDA has over eternal. it's maximum adrenaline simulator. you keep the group of enemies stunlocked with your parries while you duke it out with the main boss of the demons while they're basically forced to watch.

it's actually fucking kino...

Anti soul gas ruins another games visuals

stop being an ironic gaylord

imagine this fight in eternal

better ssg+pb spam those big demons from the distance, oh time to belch some fodder enemies and chainsaw them for ammo

oh the big demon spawned, better chain swap ssg+ballista

die to the mancubus because you dared to go close

it's kino. soon every eternal fanboy will convert.

why pay $100 when I can play it on gamepass for a fraction of the price.

I'm envisioning it in Eternal and it's so much better that it brings a tear to my eye. imagine a second weapon...

And now in TDA you don't do any thinking and just go forward. You're literally using normal shotgun for the whole fight here and it even automatically puts every enemy in fire lol.

Eternalniggers are part of the reason why I rarely enter doom threads on Anon Babble anymore and stick to discussion Anon Babble.

You're literally using normal shotgun for the whole fight here

As God intended

and it even automatically puts every enemy in fire lol.

That’s a weapon upgrade that you can turn off or on. Did you even play it?

go suck off your glorified dungeon crawler some more over there

What would Quake offer that Doom hasn't already done? Now that we're going with full-on dimension hopping and fighting shit that aren't even demons.

the fact that you can terrorize the hardest fights in the game with the combat shotgun fully upgraded is why TDA is kino, and will surpass eternal once the DLC+master levels are out. it has already surpassed base campaign eternal.

And now in TDA you don't do any thinking and just go forward

That’s based because I just want to slap some goons around. If I want to think I’ll play something else other than DOOM or better yet do something besides playing video games.

how?

its linear, repetitive, full of cinematics at every corner and seems like a downgrade from eternal in every way
dash gone, double jump gone, weapons dont matter anymore, never run out of ammo anymore, you die from enemies spawning in your face since no visual or audio indication for enemy spawn anymore, cant go back to get missed collectibles, gotta replay levels etc

i wont even mention how low res everything looks, textures look straight from 2015, and while the raytraced GI looks great its no replacement from a blurry mess every time you get near a wall

i loved 2016, i really liked eternal but this one is meh at best, a 7/10, if i didnt know better i would say this one came out before eternal, mechanically it just seems way too simplistic

That’s a weapon upgrade that you can turn off or on. Did you even play it?

The point is that you were making fun of the flame belch.

You ran out of ammo in Eternal?

You’re talking with multiple people anon

Eternal is the GOAT.

filters normies as it should

filters closet gamers who break their keyboards from seeing too many tutorial prompts (you can disable them altogether)

actual difficulty

dont feel like a robot stuck to the ground

can DASH

can DASH, mid-air

grappling hook, physics, yada yada

need brain to succeed

multiplayer that didnt last but it was one kind of an experience and im happy to have had the chance to try it out

That is on you jumping inbetween someone elses reply chain.

And the point is that you haven’t played it.

The cosmic levels were the best part of the game. They should have had more puzzle sections instead of dragon and mech shit.

Why did it feel lackluster

Fucking look at it. You wanna play that?

SAARS THEY ARE NOT BUYING THE BLODDY GAME WE MUST THE SHILLING HARDER!!!

Fucking FAGGOTS RUINED any discussion over 2016 and now they’re doing the same thing with TDA. ROUNDHOUSE ALL ETERNALFAGS.

For the purpose of accentuating action or in general?

this is literally the opposite of true, no eternalfag barges into a discussion of 2016. it's always the other way around.

TDA isn't like 2016 or Eternal. it has the best qualities of neither. if you're a tasteless rube who enjoys destiny-style "walk forward and click guy with shotgun" gameplay you might be into it. at least OG doom has some funny maze traversal and genuine resource management

KINO.

Page 10

Yeah Eternalfags ruined all the 2016 discussion even when the game wasn't gonna be out in 5 years lol.

2016 = testosterone
eternal = 70% of 2016
new ages = 101% estrogen

you are the faggot, my dear gentlefriend.

this is literally the opposite of true, no eternalfag barges into a discussion of 2016. it's always the other way around.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA OH WOW

get completely surrounded on every angle

it's fine

Snore.

all the time? i had to switch weapons constantly, menage my ammo with chainsaw, upgrade ammo amount etc, here im not switching from shotgun since rest of guns suck ass and either dont have the range to hit anything past 5 meters or arent accurate and dont do damage enough to bother

have literally never seen an eternal player go out of their way to shittalk 2016 in my entire life
meanwhile it is literally impossible for anyone to discuss eternal online without someone coming in like UMMM I DIDN'T LIKE THE CHAINSAW AND THE MARAUDER 2016 WAS LE BETTER like fuck off

And yet here you are going out of your way to shittalk a dark ages thread

It's true. Ultrakill trannies do the same thing. You fags always insert yourself into the discussion of other games because you know they hold no merit otherwise.

yeah because i just played it as a direct followup on eternal and it's not fun relative to that game or 2016

tfw the title of this Doom game is ad-hominem for modern audience woke-slop et-cetera

Dark Ages is worse than Eternal, but it's better than 2016 because it has some actual thought put into its design.

And now you know how 2016bros felt when eternal released. You deserve to suffer the same fate.

the cosmic levels were kino i hope we get more of them in the dlc™

no see because i'm right and the people that dumped on eternal were usually objectively wrong and salting out

Eternal is shit I am right and you are objectively wrong

No it's referencing the end of the 2nd DLC where king Novik the Zanzibart is going to tell you that "these are The Dark Ages, Slayer. But your Doom is Eternal." And everyone will applaud how Doom Eternal was the real deal all along.

no you have to understand that i am objectively right and that eternal is a masterpiece and every single complaint thrown its way except for "the story is bad" is literally incorrect

no you have to understand that i am objectively right and that the dark ages is a masterpiece and every single complaint thrown its way except for "the story is bad" is literally incorrect

but that is objectively incorrect

Dark ages trashes the main mechanic that made 2016 meaningfully fun, fast swapping between all of your guns. Seeing gameplay with swapping was the exact moment public perception of 2016 shifted from "looks boring" to "might be sick actually wtf." Every one of my friends that I have shown this game to has said that it looks dull. I have not seen gameplay from anyone make it look more interesting than walking forward with a gun pressing parry and melee. tight design and difficulty isn't absolutely everything. sometimes a mechanic is just fun. dark ages simplifies itself while retaining some of Eternal's ideas but in the process forgot what made nudoom itself in the first place.

Constantly swapping guns was gay. It only made for flashy youtube videos, but the mechanic completely broke weapon balance and made everything but the highest burst damage guns completely worthless. The same thing happened in Eternal.

why are you like this

But chaingun with infinite ammo rune was the most powerful thing in the game. And you can't say "it did nothing, it was for flashy youtube videos only" and "it was imbalanced".

And now I'm seeing people beat Dark Ages Nightmare with one gun.
So it's not like ID found a balance with any of this.

But chaingun with infinite ammo rune was the most powerful thing in the game.

Switching between the rockets/SSG and gauss was way stronger.

And you can't say "it did nothing

Good, because I didn't.

Filtered

Filtered by what? My crimson medals in arcade mode?

Face it, the only real reason why people dislike eternal is because it was too difficult for them.

But I love Eternal. It's 2016 I don't care for.

I honestly don't get why people struggle with it so much. I loaded Nightmare for my first playthrough and found it pretty normal.

They struggle to be cool. They really should had altered enemy hp and numbers with difficulties because right now when a bad player plays Eternal it's just gonna take long and feel boring because they still have to kill the same amount of enemies with same amount of hp than someone on the hardest diff.

Doom 64 has the best tone. An oppressive atmosphere without being shit like doom 3.

I won't say they've gotten worse over the years, but I feel their older stuff simply was more to the point... More SOVL, if you will and also spoke more to the primal "death head" headbanger crowd?

.......does anyone have a PDF of the Art book

whatever you say, pajeet. I still won't buy your shitty game

No I seriously don’t understand what you meant by your post.

guys, have you heard of the game "simon says"?

it's hecki*g KINO

DOOM 2016 comes out

everyone loves it

Anon Babble hates it

This is not true. I remember when the multiplayer leaked and Bethesda almost Shoa’d the entire board with DMCA request. Most were positive about the leak and the game when it released. The only real bitching was about snap map replacing mods and glory kills.

How much a sale is this game worth buying at?
I'm too invested in Exp33 and 100line for any other new games for the next couple months. Figured by then this will be a little cheaper.

less constrained

How TF are people saying Eternal was MORE constrained? I feel like I'm being gaslit. The only constraining part of Eternal was the Marauder fights which everyone hated and could only be fought in one specific manner. I feel like ID took that gimmick and made an entire game around that for TDA with the shield gimmick. You HAVE to parry each and every single time. Because your guns are so shit and weak you have to rely on that bonus damage through the parrying.

niggers who probably work for Nintendo or Sony paid to shit on doom
It's why they always repeat the same shit and post the same shit

Fuck off nigger

cool revisionist history. Anon Babble has been brainbroken over doom since 2016

work for Nintendo or Sony paid to shit on doom

That take is equally schizoid to the people who are calling everyone shills for talking about the game. Major game companies aren't going to hire people to anonymously shit on other company's game on an imageboard for autists.
Just like people who like and talk about the game aren't hired goons in a Indian/Chinese marketing conspiracy.
You're all a bunch of idiots punching air.

I watched Asmongold play it for a bit and like i can't look past the fact that it looks like the game was made for women. Could that explain the difficulty and retardation of game mechanics?

"I totally did not get paid to post that on multiple websites to promote the game"

"it's not doing bad at sales at all, actually it's selling really well"

revisionist history

No

I watched Asmongold play it for a bit

I watched him for 40 minutes and formed my own onions and then I looked at what he had to say later in the video (I gave a timestamp already but it's at 1:52:00 in case you missed it) I don't really have to play it to see they downgraded everything and tried to appeal to women and would definitely score it lower than 7/10 and same for Space Marine 2 like it wasn't that good of a game I didn't play it either but the first level really triggered me when I watched all cutscenes compilation. It just hits different when the games are prioritized and designed for women.

formed my own onions

I know

Opinions*

bros how to form my own onions???

How can I into forming onions Anon Babble?

Doom threads really do attract the insufferable don't they

Our current game is E33. We do not like TDA because it is not on the itinerary of games we support.

How many funko pops do you own?

He's a good reviewer he reviews all games and Claire Obscur Expedition 33 he scored a fantastic 10 if you don't believe me see it for yourself I think his Doom 7/10 was really on point if you are a woman but if you played previous dooms it's lower. He said that he hadn't played Doom 2016 and Eternal so it explains why he isn't as critical. I would put him on par with Skill Up he really makes good reviews.

How many dragon dildos does your mom own?

didn't want to use bfg so i died probably 20 times, 50% from tiredom probably because i noticed how much trouble i had with the entire level overall. the meme mancubus on a ledge got me like 5 times.

Yo my boy let’s play some Dark Ages

I own 3 and I'm still not as gay as TDA

kek

I like both though

t. game enjoyer

So is it true it needs to be played at %150 speed as ive heard it feels so slow at normal speed. Im a sanic speedster kind of guy ( yeah im that cool) so I need to know

any more to replace the music with nudoom music?

yes. you also need the mod that removes the parry slowdown

kino it ain't but Anon Babble lied to me about the playtime. I'm halfway through after 9 hours. it's not a 10 hour game.

Is anyone else receiving connection errors when uploading images? I wanted to show y'all how Asmongold's facial expressions changed as he continued to play the game. He showed legitimate joy and 40 minutes later it changed into bitter disappointment, and when I skipped the video to listen to his review he was straight up frustrated.

Quake now belongs to Doom, chud. Your beloved franchise is dead and buried.

been told by Anon Babble for years that Mick Gordon is shit and spammed with wub wub fart memes

TDA soundtrack is so bad that nobody can even hear it in game

the entire game flops

Mick won.

I dont eat them as they cause gas and bloat

Why are you obsessed with ButtMamSilver?

I don't like how every gun is one-handed because of the shield.

Apparently the music is "fine" to "good" but the mixing is shit and sometimes it just flat out doesn't trigger during fights. The game has a lot of minor to moderate fixable issues that really should've been ironed out before release.

I’m going to sleep thanks for the laugh bros. Hopefully Asmon poster gets to meet him one day and wishing you all healthy formed onions.

the special kills slow down the pace that's so unfortunate

a simple kick or punch or weapon butt melee would have been sufficient

is there a mod like that?

Well first of all the default music volume is set to 50% in TDA. Second TDA has no wub wub which is confusing for zoomies. TDA is actually metal not syth farts.

These companies don’t give a fuck anymore man. Almost every single game requires months of patching for the last few years for basic shit to be cleaned up and then they have the balls to charge 70$. It’s absolutely disgusting.

i have only heard exactly one (1) instance of wub wub in TDA so far and it's the mildest shit

I think i maybe will get the game when on a $10 sale. Thats a big maybe

I watched his video

Never understood the praise for the zoom metal of Doom. I turn off the music in 2016/Eternal and just put Gojira albums in the background.

youtube.com/watch?v=OIrRpGlyQGg

this is better than anything in eternal or dark age

parryslop

Essentially, though doom name sells better

How would they know?

I set it to 100 and its still sounds like muffled shit. The mixing is terrible since it all mashes together. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was outsourced to jeets using AI. I’m usually not too much into audio but it’s so bad that even I can notice it right after booting up.

sythslop

lol, lmao

Do you honestly believe heretic would outsell doom? It would take multiple new entries with extremely high quality before it can even attempt to do something like that.

Why do so many retards in Doom threads keep comparing it to E33? Fuckin zoomers with their parents money have to make sure they get enough hours in a game cause it's the only one they get this year kek

This should’ve been a Hexen game.

Heretic is high fantasy.

E33 is being heavily shilled here for weeks now. It’s really bad.

I'm the Asmongold watcher that commented on another issue earlier. Here are my thoughts on your matter:

companies don’t give a fuck anymore [...] every single game requires months of patching

Releasing games that need months of patching is a calculated move by companies, especially those with subscription services like Gamepass, to maximize mid- and long-term profits. Big updates and patches generate buzz and headlines, keeping games relevant and players engaged over time. Short-term sales remain strong as hype and marketing overshadow any intentionally left-in bugs. This approach ensures sustained revenue while maintaining player interest. It's nothing new.

Consireding getting it but still on the fence
Hows the melee?
Specifically the flail and the fist, are they infinite use slam dunks or is it ammo based like the crucible or some shit?
I dont like the instant kill chainsaw/crucible, I just want to bash things in the head

Well Anon Babble sucks at actual video games so of course they shill turn based shit

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was outsourced to jeets using AI

Nah this are the composers behind it. Finishing Move is just 4 composers running under one name.

I don’t care about patching in additional features and whatnot but when you can’t even get audio mixing and hdr done correctly at release it can fuck off.

Our current game is E33

Yeah I've seen your discord. Pretty cringe, why not raid reddit instead of this place

I just looked up their credits and laughed. Sounds like microshit panicked and hired cheaply in house.

The Callisto Protocol, Grounded, Borderlands 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Crackdown 3, Halo Wars 2, and Massive Chalice.

lean over in my chair

rip ass

YOU FOUND A SECRET AREA!

TDA secrets doesn't feel like secrets and more like a pat on the back because you strayed an inch away from beelining to the objective marker

still better than whatever eternal or dark age has

Doesn’t eternal have this as an early game suit perk?

pinkpantheress is the baddest bitch alive

I hate how some secret areas are marked with a shield bash icon. At least the cracked walls in Eternal fit into the environments more naturally.

That's their hook. By intentionally leaving less noticeable features broken at release, they ensure you're engaged with the product, following headlines in anticipation of fixes for your specific problems. This approach heavily increases the odds of you replaying the game once patches roll out. If you were on a subscription service like gamepass, you'd likely resubscribe to check those updates, which is exactly what they want.

its fun but i didnt watch the trailers so im kinda annoyed its like "sci fi middle ages" i wanted it to be like Ash in Army of Darkness where doomguy just shoots up ye olde demons in the middle ages and old beggars and townfolk are like "halp us weird mysterious guy, the demons are ransackin the castle" and then u pull out the super shotgun.

eternal is still peak nu doom. the first was fun though.

Everyone wanted that. ID are run by uninspired hacks.

I agree and The only real argument against this would be that they wouldn’t want to risk getting lower review scores near launch but that doesn’t fucking matter either because all of the gaming “journalists” are paid off and shill anyway. Even if they don’t outright pay them for good reviews they offer these people tons of exclusive access, merch, flights, hotel rooms, free games, etc. and if you don’t play ball then guess what? No early access for you for previews and all of the other perks I mentioned.

I wish Hugo understood that a power fantasy is better when its just some guy and there isn't the most epicest of epic lore around him epicly being epic and its huge and epic and the weapons have an epic past. It's so stupid.

Just make him a dude, don't even give him a fancy armor. Why don't they understand this?

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for. Hardcore, fully leaning into a heavy metal style dark ages aesthetic full of brutality. Instead it just looks like Doom got raped up it's cloaca by Killing Floor 3.

People are so fucking brain dead they would probably complain and ask for more again if there is 0 or near 0 story in the next game.

Wait its not that? Damn. I wanted to sed DOOM guy scrounging in early times against demons

the most effective their story telling has ever been is unironically the first 10 minutes of Doom 2016.

Imagine if it was true medieval doom
What kind of weapons would you give him?
Fists are obvious, but what about other melee weapons? to add some flavor.
Really big scythe?
Ball and chain aka flail but BIG?
Think of something cool

Sci fi Middle Ages is cool if done correctly but the problem is their art direction and terrible storylines.

What kind of weapons would you give him?

A sack of potatoes from a peasant farm

The skull crusher from TDA would be ideal. It's the only cool new gun in the game and it fits the aesthetic.

I get it anon. Goron was the GOAT

when do you get the skull crusher alt?

A possessed portable guillotine. Have doomguy chasing demons around cutting their heads off.

This sounds like a cool killmove for a sword n board kind of weapon, like you hook a cleaver behind their neck and punch them with the shield

greek fire

Sounds more inspired than the boring shit they put in TDA

I just did the mech level man that shit was boring and slow hope I don't have to do it again haha

I'd give him a big-ass sword. And nothing like that whack shit from Eternal. A big, chunk of metal sword that decimates demon bodies with every swing.

How does this compared to eternal

A giant ax would also be sick.

You talking guts sword or an actual zweihander type thing?
Feels a little uninspired

Yeah it was pretty fucking bad. A waste of resources. It could have been okay if it were more in depth and had you doing stuff other than punch dodge. Felt like rockem sockem robots.

painkiller spike launcher

You mean like actual magic?

I actually like this one way more than Eternal
Eternal was like "simon says shoot weakpoints on every fuckin demon"
In comparison Dark ages has way more freedom in how you approach the fights because you're not forced to constantly react to the demons you're fighting by always dealing with weakpoints. the shield throw and dash and block give you much more opportunity to be proactive with your positioning and openings rather than reactive which I think is super fun

I'm glad someone said it. It's pure slop.

Eternal is the same composer with the same style as 2016, retard.

A fucking scythed chariot would have been sweet instead of the flying dragon.

We could have mowed down tons of demons.

It sure sounds more fun, I didnt really care for the arcadi-ness of eternal, or the constant weapon swapping

Completely different game. Not joking. People say it's slower. It isn't but it plays differently that Eternal. I can see people liking it in the long run mainly because you don't get locked into glory kills constantly(the animations for them are even faster than in Eternal so that's a plus too)

Manjaw "woman" front and center

Square jaws are a more important indicator of beauty for women than for men

Based observation and well put

vehicle section except its you mowing down demons by trampling them and catching the big fuckers with a huge ass scythe

optional hook with chain to hurl at a bigger demon to drag his ass behind your chariot, optionally using it as a flail if you turn sharply enough

If you were a gambling man what would you wager the next doom game will be like? Do they scale it back a ton and go for a more grounded approach like 2016 or do they double down on the wackiness with different eras and more lore/gimmicks?

I turn my brain off the second the cutscenes start so even though I'm watching them all I have literally no idea what is going on in the story

It will combine Eternal with Dark Ages. ID is clearly invested into this narrative and want to do a full circle into 2016.

High fantasy anime doom with cute girls you have to rescue from demons
Doomguy looks like goblin slayer
Secret bunnygirl route

This has been me since Hayden spoke to me in 2016. 3 games of not caring and not knowing what the hell is going on.

Do they scale it back a ton and go for a more grounded approach like 2016

They would if they had any sense, Eternal and Dark Ages look like shit. They clearly got all their feedback from Reddit. Also, no Mick Gordon is hard to match let alone beat, a blunder which was also entirely ID's fault.

I’m going to try to be as faithful to OG doom as humanly possible. I think that would be even bolder now than what they’ve been doing. Give me full maze like levels, patrolling enemies, complex secrets and shocking sick dark hellish environments that pulls no punches with gore. The money you save by not putting in stupid cutscenes, voice actors and mecha battles go and pay a real well known metal band to do the soundtrack.

Despite a lot of shitposting this has been a great thread

It's crazy how much better it looks.

I'm genuinely baffled at some of the design choices here. Eternal wasn't shy about overwhelming the player with speed. Why does dark ages slowdown for everything?

Eternal was such a massive ballsy move. A AAA game that was brutally fast and required thinking on the fly and doesn't hold you hard? This is unheard of.

TDA has a constant tempo. Eternal was bogged down with pointless qlory kill animations.

This is not the place for such extremism but I accept your confession nonebeitless.

the special kills slow down the pace that's so unfortunate

This is the biggest midwit take I've ever seen. Autistic ass niggas

Doesn't matter. Glory kills lasted
maybe a second and they were the only moment the action slowed down. Plus they served a purpose.

How can you claim that TDA has constant pacing when it actually has slowdowns?

Eternal was many times more frenetic and stressful. That's objectively true.

It's fun
I just skip all the cutscenes

Is it so hard to just make an actual DOOM game, but for the the post 2005 era? I realize it would just play like painkiller, but still. Don't need all these gimmicks, just make the maps, keep the speed of games like serious sam and just have a post 2010 graphics engine. You can still shove all the doom slayer meme story shit in.

How much does MS pays the indian shills? I wonder if it's per post, reply or something else

Anyone with a 6700k know how this game ran at anything above 1920x1080? I know once you go over that there is less GPU bottle neck, unless this game this is still CPU bound no matter what resolution you're at. I only play games every so often and here lately is mostly indie shit that can run on an e8400 just fine.

hurr durr

Another paypig UOL ayy

Eh it has portions that go straight back to sci-fi tech labs pretty quick.

no, it was a real medieval flamethrower

For some reason I read greek fire as prometheus fire

are you serious? TDA is simon says galore. all I'm doing is waiting for parryables.

Difficulty: Nightmare

Parry Window: Small

Enemy Projectile Speed: Fast

Screen Effects: Off

Daze Highlight: Off

Parry Circle: Off

Objective Markers: Off

Volume adjusted to somewhat compensate for shitty mixing

Custom ReShade filter applied to fix broken HDR implementation

Ah yes, it's gaming time.

Doom Eternal is the only time where I see a game having haters for having too much gameplay and asking too much from players. Usually people brag about such things from the game.
Doom Eternal is not even a super hard game. It's just that some people think the game SHOULD be easier for some reason

It's fun if you are playing the game on m&k like it is meant to be played

out of all the westren slop that released in the past few years this looks kinda fun and is making wanna play it
but there's no way im giving microshit my money desu

You know damn well this is a console board

console board

Yup it's true. Specifically a Nintendo console board

please stop sharing onions i am crying

I should try Eternal again. I just felt like there were about two too many buttons you had to press. Weapon swapping was fine, I just did not care for the grenade swapping and also having a button for armor and another for health. I am debating get gamepass to try this out. I like the idea, but almost wish it was done by a lower budget studio. Also, I am not into lore.

Eternal fags hate it that’s how you know it’s good

What if I like both?

Eternal is basically the fps version of playing Dante on DMC 4/5

:*

yeah man. I'm running around and parrying when the opportunity presents itself, but I don't feel forced to constantly parry everything. in eternal I always felt a need to shoot all the weakpoints because otherwise I'd be zoned out of lots of positioning options. in dark ages I can move where I want to and generally be safe because I can block attacks or easily stop dangerous demons in their tracks with the shield bash, parry, the shield throw, or melee
I think the big difference is in TDA I'm creating more opportunities vs. eternal where I'm fighting to not get my opportunities taken away

What sort of creatures might exist on a planet called Hebeth?

With a few word swaps I can make this comment sound like it would praise Eternal and deride Dark Ages

Base version costs 80 fucking Euros. Imma skip this one

It's not that fun, it's just busywork.

Hebeth? As in the lost city located entirely in Mars’ core?

she's not as bossy as she seemed

She spends half the game kidnapped and incapacitated.

But it's 45 on all keysites?

listen to some real metal instead

based, doom is not and never will be a "thinking man's" shooter. fuck all that wacky woohoo pizza man cuh-rayzee gameplay, let me just fucking shoot shit until it dies.

a battering that allows you to charge through weaker demons gibbing them and stops when reaching the big ones but damages them heavily and stuns them for you to use another weapon on them to finish the job

battering ram*
fuck

Anon Babble contrarians pretending they liked Eternal

Only newfags fall for this shit still

It was before the Slayer's time with the Sentinels. You've probably never heard of it.

How is this bad? Ditching swap slop is the best thing they could have done. Eternal was build on repetitive patterns that made the game unplayable if you forgot about them. Which is something TAG proved so hard the devs made TDA and focused only on reflexes and using your favorite guns instead of memorizing retarded patterns.

why does it look like the shredder gets forgotten about for better guns later?

youtu.be/0jTn7cJNQlw?t=2164

Based Strogg enjoyer.

So you do the same thing over and over anyway but have even less to do

nta you have the choice to use different guns, and then you have the shield and melee weapons

Anyone that thinks Eternal was good is retarded. Good games don't need to have a tutorial how to beat every enemy in the game(including bosses) as part of the game progression. The weapons swap killed Eternal. Imagine returning to the game after a year and forgetting the intended way to kill enemies and being unable to kill anything because resource managements is something ID thought is necessary in a Doom game lol.

Always do the opposite of what Anon Babble says

As opposed to repeating the same "grenade into pinky" or "balista the Mancubus" for the billionth time?

Anyone who hates eternal are just retards who are mad the game add any depth to their barebone fps and demand tiny bit of players beyond mashing buttons and watch cutscenes.

WHY WON'T THIS SHIT STOP CRASHING

THESE ARE MY SPECS

You need a tutorial to help you find a actual argument that supports swap slop?

Doom 1/2 are eternal because they are pickup and play. Eternal is the culmination of years of fps brainrot.

Did you try disabling the integrated graphics?

nta I usually rocket launchered it or used any of the bigger guns or froze it and blood punched it

what exactly is the difference between the Cycler and Accelerator?

Doomguy was just a flanderization at this point.

what if in the next doom game(and I believe they said there will be more) there would be a segment where le crazy powerful eldritch villain takes away Doomguy's powers and throws him into a maze with enemies and now the whole segment is him fighting enemies with only his weapons and has to use whatever he can fid like a true regular human would fight with it being more difficult than usual until he eventually gets his powers back?

Accelerator is hitscan and really inaccurate. The cycler has no spread but slower projectiles.

does the cycler deal more damage?

I'm not sure. I never used the accelerator much after getting the cycler.

So it's confirmed worse in the trilogy right?

well I was gonna ask you if some of the weapons become almost useless like how I barely found myself using the regular shotgun and plasma cannon in eternal

Totally get thinking this cause it's actually totally missable. If you execute an enemy from a certain angle usually from an elevated position, it might play a unique glory kill. Doomguy will saw a mancubus in half with his shield for example.

I beat the game on nightmare while barely remembering to use half of my arsenal. The only weapon class I really swapped between was the two spike guns, and I gravitated toward the rail spike near the end of the game because its upgrades were just that good. I guess the SSG is really good, too.
But the GL and accelerator were simply ignored for the entire game. I didn't remember the ball launcher existed until the final boss either.

Okay I am getting gamepass to try it

apoplectic mental collapse for 5 years straight

Azunyan mating press

interesting, every time I hear about someone's gameplay and how they used the guns they all name different sets of guns that they deem worthless and others they deem great or even powerful and you are bound to see a gun some would see as shit to be awesome by others and vice versa

When is it good to use the shredder and accelerator by the way, they look similar

I would use the shredder at further ranges to chip at things because it has no spread and doesn't need to waste ammo to get good spread.

I think I like it more than 2016. I can't go back to simplistic doom, I need the gimmicks.

Why fuck with something that's perfect? TDA is radically different to the point of being lame. Half of your attacks don't even require aiming since there's so much splash damage with the shield and throwing it at targets to stun and using it as a projectile autoaim bouncer. Hell even the shotgun's spread is fucking RIDICULOUS as is the skull gun's spread. None of the weapons are ANY fun.

nta I think you're being extreme here

Nah. It's nu-Doom fags trying to hold onto anything to try and justify how awful this trilogy has been.

inb4 cope

Shut up.

2016 got by because it wasn't a cod clone

eternal was literal paid shillings and retards who stockholmed themselves

dark ages is so bad not even shillmanlives could be bothered to slob it's knob

This game is way harder than Eternal is, I don't know what people saying otherwise are smoking.

I am dying way more here than I ever did in Eternal. Maybe I'm just bad at parry slop

the way that some of you describe some games makes it sound like it's E.T or something
it seems players are having a blast with these games including Dark ages

Even the gameplay video's look fucking boring.

"yeah bro you need a $500 RT compatible GPU to run this game"

yeah it's super demanding because there's a lot of advanced tech

the advanced tech: picrel

Holy fuck, Crysis did waves better

I think most people are taking the dick out of their mouth and seeing the series wasn't that great. Which is 9 years worth of"I told you so".

I am just saying the gameplay looks fun and I have seen many enjoy it, but Anon Babble keeps talking about it as if it's the wort game in existence just because it's not what they wanted it to be
I agree it has flaws including what you mentioned but fucking hell
but people are liking the series, if it's shit then how come it's still going? genuinely asking

if it's shit then how come it's still going?

Same way a CoD.

holy shit that's literally gmod tier kek
youtu.be/_FvBk1vlEVs?t=9086

Which is 9 years worth of"I told you so".

So autism? That’s not a proud thing to say otherwise.

you probably haven't figured out the combat loop yet. eternal was brutal, first playthrough I got my ass kicked on HMP. I remember I used to play only one or two missions per day because of how much of a headache it was. in TDA I'm breezing through on UV.

explain the combat loop to me because I'm starting to lose patience with the game, I'm literally seething from playing it.

IDC. It has been 5 years since Covid and I still ask "Was he vaxed?" if someone has random health problems.

No it's not the worst game in existence. There's segments that are enjoyable but for the most part, it's boring and dull. It's not as high paced and fun as Eternal where you get to run, dash, jump, swing, cycle between weapons, and the weapons are perfectly balanced. It's more like block punch block punch block super punch maybe squeeze off a round or two and go back to jabbing. It's literally Doomguy's Punch Out. Even the segments in the fucking mech you are just punching. Hard 6/10.

If you jump before you do the finishers, it's basically the same thing most of the time. I love the one on Hell Knights where you saw their fucking heads off.

if it's shit then how come it's still going?

Gee, I wonder why the Resident Evil series shifted back to horror after RE6 if it was le fun.

Alight, enjoy your self diagnosis then.

Cool. Nu-Doom is still bad.

defend hebeth

didn't hayden say in eternal "this was before your time with the sentinels"? if they're going to write phonebooks of lore can they at least be consistent

arnt the punches limited?
oh I don't know shit about RE

abuse the shield and the melee. block and parry inbetween shooting. also the shield throw is the new ice grenade.

weapon swap

this game is the antithesis of the weapon swap thing from doom eternal. you're punished for swapping at bad times
lots of times I'll be up in some guy's face and I'll try to swap to shotgun and get hit because I didn't do it at the right time
I didn't like the weapon swap thing from eternal either

arnt the punches limited?

a parry gives you a punch refill. also they refill with time.

well if you can punch as much as you want theoretically and it's making it boring for you then why not just punch when needed and mostly use the guns on purpose?

That’s a matter of opinion.

melee strikes refill your ammo and break enemy armor. they're kinda vital.

It’s a boring, humorless, charisma vacuum of a game. I seriously don’t know how you can faceplant so hard. Evil Dead knew it was ridiculous yet Hugo wants us to take his plagiarism 100% seriously. Awful.

Its different but its not bad, just has weird decisions that bring it down overall

big open spaces, but sorta forced to engage with all the corners to get upgrade materials

Meanwhile in Eternal being a linear game you always go by the little puzzle areas for your upgrades

the mech and flying shit

Don't need to say more, mechanical simple and not even visually impactful

I also think we got a severe overcorrection on Eternal's movement, a single sideways dash would go a long way. Also the game is absolutely not balanced for 150% game speed and max projectile speed. Some of those enemies that throw the slow+poison ground effect down are super annoying to deal with

söyface.jpg

that's what i am saying, don't ditch them just don't use only them

I am only using the chain ball weapon and like nothing else, I have to force myself to use other weapons if I do

Sure.

you care about humor and charisma in a doom game?

wtf I just played it, this game sucks and it's boring. I thought it was 'KINO'. Anon Babble lied to me once again.

slow+poison ground effect

the vagary is this game's "that" enemy. such bullshit.

admits he's been seething for 9 years

absolutely brainbroken

One of the mancubus does it too, and with the projectile speed and prediction its hard to avoid. The only course is to find some fodder not in the middle of shit and shield charge out.

The Cyberdemon is also kinda shit to fight against.

Heretic is irrelevant
