Why has this still not been topped?

Have you been topped?

2016 was better

I don't like NuDoom.

2016 was bette-ACCKK

Meathook is such a beautiful tool.

Jamie pull up the euro trucker doom video

time to reinstall doom 3

I like to shit on Doom 3 from time to time, but the industrial design is just so fun in it. I adore the spinny glowy things, it's so comfy.

Looks fucking awul. My DooM is not some fucking Unreal Tournament spazz style of game.

Same, shit is gay and there's a reason why everybody and their grandma made memes about this shit. On par with soulsborne fanboys who can't ever take a joke and have to make 50 response videos whenever someone doesn't like their game.

TAG 1 was such peak. UAC Atlantica might be my favorite level of the franchise. The Living End is still strong competition tho. Hard to top a good Romero map.

Based

It filtered so many slow boomers

TAG 1 was such peak.

It's like eating shit is a hobby to these people

wish they made more master levels or cbt
i eat that shit up

TAG 1 pre-nerf on Ultra-Nightmare was the pinnacle of the Doom reboot trilogy. Not our problem you suck at the game.

I've played through Doom 3 two times and I was working on a third somewhat recently until I got bored. Cool game for the time but not all that interesting anymore.

Don't forget your ritalin, little zoomie.

zoomzoom.gif - 498x364, 157.38K

Is there now a re-release that actually respects the balance of the original?

sickest player ive seen is some korean pulled cbt atlantica on ultra nightmare

Zoomers hated Eternal.

Slop

No

This doesn't help your arguement like you think it does.

None of you losers even beat the master levels.
youtu.be/SnCw9ESwnFk

Timesplitters 2 is more fun than 2016, Eternal, and Dark ages.

Just say you're a shitter, anon
No shame in being bad so long as you're aware of it

They don't call ir Zoom Eternal for nothing.

But this isn't Doom 2016.

you fags can't even get your manufactured outrage straight.

your grenade cooldown is ready

your melee cooldown is ready

your stun cooldown is ready

enemy is flashing blue!

enemies eyes are flashing green lol! better attack!

you dont like the eyes flashing green mechanic? too bad we'll force you to use it.

change your weapon its ineffective because... it just is ok?

2016 was an ok start for another Doom game

one (1) guy makes a video where they weapon swap constantly just because it looked cool and for fun

Dev team decides to base the next game around this completely to force it on everyone else.

What the fuck was their problem

>Dev team decides to base the next game around this completely to force it on everyone else.

I never get this argument. How is it forced? I play the game just fine without using it.

God you guys really are like fromsoft fans

iD and FromSoft fans are the highest IQ fanbases.

Old I'd fans maybe, modern I'd fans and fromsoft fans? Dumbest group of people I've ever met.

I'll take "things that never happened" for 200 Alex

This absolutely mogs shitoom in gameplay, level design and weapons

I kneel...

This is not a doom game

Either you didn't play the game or you have some kind of functional retardation. There is nothing in the game that forces you to constantly weapon swap to max your DPS. Even on nightmare.

why is using multiple weapons so hard for you?

See, to you this is awesome shit because it pulls out knowledge checks and reflexes constantly, it's basically a DMC3 of shooters by chaining the kills together while managing resources masterfully. I can GET why Eternal's fans love the shit out of it, and especially when it's at its craziest.

I just don't have the mental energy or reflexes to really want to deal with something like that at length as an entire game. I prefer 2016 simply because it isn't so crazy, doesn't feel like I'm mastering a fighting game's worth of twitchy reactions.

Did I say it was?

I don't need to play a game to have an opinion on it.

You poor bastard really think this trash impresses anyone, huh? Man you zoomers are so fucking easy, like dangling keys in front of a retarded toddler.

The greatest single-player FPS of the last decade.

At least you have the balls to admit you're a troll.

That's Titanfall 2.

OMG bro eternal is so peak look at how cool this looks!!!!!!!

hq720.jpg - 686x386, 68.11K

My man.

Christ, what an eyesore.

Titanfall 2 is great but it's nowhere close to Eternal

Yep, because it's miles above it.

DE budget/normal enemy ai + uk buttplug support/boss design/secret bosses and encore levels = my dream zoomer shooter

cod slop but with wallrun and mech

Embarrassing

arena slop with cooldowns and insta-resources

Disgusting

Viper mogs every shitty boss fight in Eternal

No, it wasn't people who say DOOM 2016 is better than DOOM Eternal are retarded.

there alot of shit going on here but you damn well know it isnt hard once you start to follow these strict weapon swapping rotations to cope for the lack of damage theses weapon have needing to abuse weapon swapping to start with.

eternal weapons

lack of damage

Genuine retard

Worshipping Eternal is a mental illness.

The Doom 3 plasma gun unironically has the best reload sound of all time.

enter room

doors shut

demons start spawning, max 4-5 of them in the room at the same time

walk around and shoot enough of them they stop, doors unlock, exit room

move through the most boring barren environments possible on mars and in hell

enter another room

doors shut

rinse and repeat for 12 levels

D16 will always be just a primitive proof of concept for a nuDoom game, no matter how much Anon Babble tries to gaslighting me into thinking otherwise.

Eternal is the same but with sick smokin style parkour instead

Eternalfags aren't Doom fans and they never were. They're the FPS equivalent of those fags who would keep making threads dedicated to muh CUUUHRAZY action games like DMC and Ninja Gaiden.

Played

DOOM 2016
DOOM ETERNAL
DOOM THE DARK AGES
DOOM 3

Back to back the past couple weeks

Explain why I have the most fond memories of 3

Doom is not supposed to be a movement shooter. 2016 is a true Doom game, Eternal is tranny zoomer slop.
Based, sounds exactly like a good Doom game.

so are they are all strong and quick swapping is actually unneeded to accomplish the same damage output if you weren't quick swapping?

You're a contrarian and going by the reddit spacing a faggot as well

Unique vibes of being a horror shooter that doesn't tip too far into horror compared to most other examples, and a really good atmosphere and aesthetic design while it's at it, low-res textures aside?

I’ve been permabanned from Reddit since the 2016 election

I'm a poltard loser

Much worse

So they weren't wrong and you're an electionfag

DOOM 3 just feels better as an overall experience even if the gameplay isn't as polished. You're just John Doomguy trapped in a space station full of spooky bloodthirsty demons and there is a sense of gravity to the situation because you aren't a comic book hero like in nudoom.

actual election tourist in the wild

Why would you admit this lmao

My only real issue with 2016 was excessive focus on arenas rather than having gameplay throughout.

DOOM 2016 was similar to DOOM Eternal in its style of gameplay, if you hate DOOM Eternal you should hate DOOM 2016

It was never good to begin with, everything tops it.

it's basically a DMC3 of shooters by chaining the kills together while managing resources masterfully

Except you expend resources in DMC however you want because it's a fun game and you're encouraged to freestyle while Eternal locks you into a rigid play pattern of cooldown management

Doom 2016 played much more like traditional doom, much less bing bing wahoo jumping shit and more focus on just shooting demons through levels.

Based anti-console gameplay. This is impossible on controller thats why Anon Babble casuals hate on this

Eternalschizo still using the same tired arguments and ad hominem

Ungodly levels of cope

more like more focus shooting 2 demons at a time in shitty arenas
nudoom sucks and you would never be able to navigate a level with a set amount of resources

It is. Objectively and inarguably. Eternal is a shit game and you are a retarded tranny.

This kills the Anon Babbleigger

Yeah, with boredom.

I first played Eternal on a Xbox one in Nightmare and loved it.

Eternal haters are shitter players trying to cope, they find it "tedious" and not fun

dmc3

encouraged to freestyle

Fucking retard

Nigger who cares if you jump around and shit that's totally a gay reason to hate DOOM Eternal they will never make DOOM like DOOM 1 and 2 again it will get dull if you don't innovate in the formula a little bit now that's not to say all changes are good.

Exactly, could be queake.

I'm playing Dark Ages now, and honestly in terms of graphics, I think Eternal looks better.

Doom 2016 played much more like traditional doom

Ah yes, remember stats upgrade system or weapon upgrades? How could you forget corridor arena level design with 5 enemies max per encounter in og doom games?
Fucking 2016fags are the worst

And I think DOOM 2016 is overrated.

Will I like Eternal if I thought 2016 was boring and uninteresting?

As the shooter most overrated by Mexican children?

how long until we can actually talk about the game without mindbroken tortanicfags shitting up the place

Perhaps
It is just improved 2016. If you did not like the core gameplay of executions and shooting don't bother then

all these geriatric boomers seething

Based.

Is it just me, or does DOOM fans always hate the new DOOM game that comes out? It's like stick to DOOM 1 or stop complaining unless you have something valid to complain about.

It's funny back when DOOM 2016 came out people were complaining that it was too modernized and wasn't like DOOM 1 and 2

These aren't Doom fans. Doom fans who didn't care for Eternal have years worth of wads to keep them busy. This is just regular contrarian screeching from faggots who don't even play video games.

For me, its appeal was limited. I can happily go back to Doom 1, 2, 64 and 2016 and replay them without any feelings of boredom or apathy. I've beaten Eternal twice now, I've become accustomed to its gameplay, but going back to it now feels like a pointless endeavour. I get no fun out of it any more despite being good at it. And I've tried a few times.

No. Eternal fans hate Doom and only like their embarrassing Fortnite clone. The Dark Ages is fucking great, a much better Doom game than Eternal and the best fps in years.

I love playing classic DOOM wads.

Case in point. I guarantee this faggot hasn't played Eternal or the classic Doom games.

Bait used to be believable

Doom

most important skill is keeping track of 50 gorillion cooldowns and constantly switching weapons to make sure you optimize your DPS rather than just dodging attacks, aiming, and shooting

4 equipment pieces on cooldown

>most important skill is keeping track of 50 gorillion cooldowns

Based brainlet

I love all DOOM games, but it's funny that you mentioned DOOM the Dark Ages because it's not doing so well right now not to say I don't like it which I do, but facts are facts. I don't know why it's failing, but it is?

In terms of actually shooting demons, i.e the bit that matters, it played more like doom.

I don't know why it's failing

$70 and it's on game pass

Honestly, I like both Ultrakill and classic Doom better than Eternal, but I do find it really funny how the game managed to filter so many people. It's the only modern, singleplayer western AAA game I can think of that actually has depth and takes skill to play, and that was enough to filter literal thousands or more. I've seen people claim that Eternal is bad because it's too "video gamey" or "arcadey", as if that's somehow a bad thing. It's genuinely bizarre to me, but it really goes to show that casuals completely dominate the industry these days. People too used to walking sims and other literal non-games.

Not even in the top 5.

the average Anon Babbleirgin is dogshit at video games

Whoa no way

Post your top 5

singleplayer western AAA game I can think of that actually has depth and takes skill to play

this sounds just like the average ninja gayden fanboy

In terms of actually shooting demons

95% of your time spent executing demons in melee

Ok retard.
2016fags are actually braindamaged

Makes sense, I don't know if game pass will be around for much longer if that will be the result of all games that are on the service. And the game industry needs to reverse course with this greedy pricing they are putting on games thanks to Rockstar and Nintendo.

Maybe in your playthrough, fagnuts lmao

It's probably because Eternal actually demands you be fast, efficient and think on the fly in ways most modern games simply don't anymore. What do you need to play Elden Ring? Some prep, a bit of consideration, and then the reflexes for dodges as you learn patterns. Meanwhile Eternal gives you a double dash, double jump, two separate grenade types and a flamethrower for enemy control and resource management, two separate insta-kill weapons that have their own ammo pools with differing conditions of how they work and what they're used for, and a whole entourage of weapons to constantly swap between while enemies chase you down to shove fireballs in your face and their claws up your ass nonstop.

It's not much wonder people got filtered. Give a normie Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge and they'd get filtered too. All reflex and split second reaction, strategies on the fly, enemy spam with shit flying everywhere, and if you stand still for a second, you die.

Based

he could've just done a meathook launch into destroyer blade and killed everything much cleaner. they made sure almost every continuous fire weapon in eternal has some kind of potential purpose.

dark ages really illuminates why eternal handles quickswapping the way it does. if you leave it in the game but don't balance the game around it, the game is too easy if you do it and it feels like you have a really interesting game just around the corner if you actually DID design the game around it. in dark ages quickswapping is gone and the game just feels so much less aggressive and dynamic. you effectively just walk up to things and engage in a parry duel, or click on them at mid range and parry what you have to. it's just not as interesting to play, the only people i see praising how the combat has changed are people whose definition of freedom is "the freedom to mindlessly use one single weapon for the entire game" and don't care about any other kind of freedom of playstyle

underthemayo is the biggest Doom Eternal shill on youtube and he is terrible at every other game.
youtube.com/watch?v=Oe-I1i9bVmg&ab_channel=UnderTheMayo
he cried like a bitch when he played elden ring

Eh, the way the shield and melee attacks can play off of different guns makes for quite a bit of freedom. "Freedom" isn't why I like TDA combat more than Eternal's, though. Besides, even on higher difficulties you can SSG your way through Eternal too if you want to. I often did simply because the hook was so fun.

Now play DOOM 1 + 2 their expansions and DOOM 64 and rank what you like more?

Any game that tried to force you into a "fun zone" is automatically shit and any other game that just uses freedom as an excuse to make poor enemy engagement is a shit game

Microsoft told them to make Dark Ages easier, guaranteed.

I think that's a case where he's so invested into one particular game that he falls apart trying anything else. A mediocre fuck like me is nowhere near as good as someone like him at Eternal, but can play a broader range of games decently well instead.

2016 defenders have to be among the dumbest people on the board.

replay them without any feelings of boredom or apathy

2016

This

Yep. Sorry to piss in your rice pudding, but that's how it is.

Seems like it
Enemy aggression is neutered in tda compared to eternal
Even at max slider.

sure pal
he struggled badly with code veronica
this guy is only good at doom eternal and nothing else

I dunno. I was funposting, but most of the well-regarded retro shooters are games I enjoyed more than 2016 or Eternal. Dusk, Amid Evil, Hrot, Cultic, Turbo Overkill.

I still need to finish Hrot, though, and obviously Cultic has a ways to go.

The undisputed goat N64 and 3D platformer title ever made.

Amid Evil, Hrot, Cultic, Turbo

Holy shit, an actual shit eater

I beat eternal on nightmare and I'd say the only thing in the mainline campaign that approached a tough souls boss was literally just the icon of sin fight. the rest of the game wasn't easy but I never felt like I was in a hole a mile away from completing a section like I do when I get smacked with a fuck off pattern from a spinning top in souls

don't you get tired of sleepwalking through arenas that put up no challenge?

I like good games, sorry.

The mechanics are always so fucking impressive in what you can do. Weapon combos actually reward you for pulling them off when Shiternal is just a long input process of constant weapon swapping. I would rather make a spreadsheet in Excel than play that trash again.

Dusk, Amid Evil, Hrot, Cultic, Turbo Overkill.

damn thats a lot of indy trash

i love all the streamers saying they prefer TDA over eternal because it's easier lol

I tend to prefer lower budget games that are good to expensive games that aren't as good.

How can it be topped? It does what it does perfectly. All you could do is add gimmicks on top of it.

Yeah, that's why I stopped playing Eternal and went back to games that I'm actually entertained by.

Doom Eternal was actively harmed by not having an arcade mode. Doing this shit for a high score would be great.

budget games that are good

they are not good
i remember how duskworld died
the entire dusk fanbase is so scared of multiplayer games

It's as if sniffing one's own farts was the embodiment of a human being

I don't know I just think it's really bizarre to have a holier than though attitude and go to bat for 2016, it's like are you a bit dense or something.

The eternal fanboy once more proclaims how proud he is for having the worst taste in anything ever

This has to be a humiliation ritual but then again most eternal shills suck at these games

holier than thou

What the fuck are you actually smoking? Why do Eternal enjoyers think like this?

Eternal perfectly achieved its goals, and the DLCs and later master levels proved they can't add anything new and compelling to the game. You just got gimmick enemies.

I don't know I just think it's really bizarre to have a holier than though attitude and go to bat for 2016

The pot is now calling the kettle black

what the hell?
i dont like doom eternal at all

This shit really is a humiliation ritual for you guys

hrot

Amid evil

cultic

good games

Why are you lying, shit eater

that 1% life glory kill

alright that was cool

I am currently playing Doom Eternal and the movement feels a lot worse than expected.
I keep getting stuck on terrain and sometimes I just suddenly come to a halt after dashing despite not letting go of W.
I died many times because of it.
The game in general seems quite buggy.
I enjoyed Doom 3 a lot more desu.

10e.png - 800x800, 155.75K

All the seething responds to this really shows why The dark ages got botched so hard. These shitters couldn't handle eternal and turned their complaints into a worse game LOL

Eternal fans hate Doom

I do?

file.png - 598x362, 216.21K

Dark Ages just topped it in shitness.

This.
It's obvious that id was told explicitly to dumb down Dark Ages after complaints about Eternal being too hard and complex.

reread the reply chain.

Going straight into Dark Ages from the Eternal Ancient Gods DLCs, it feels so slow by comparison. It feels like going from Devil May Cry 5 to the first Onimusha or something.

Eternal being too hard and complex.

so hard and complex that a guy like underthemayo can finish the game in ultranightmare

I remember talking about this like four years ago and people were telling me I wasn't moving enough. As if that's the problem.

All I want is a DLC that covers the betrayal of the Night Sentinels up to the Slayer getting sealed in the sarcophagus, and I'd be fine with them retiring this particular timeline of Doom. Move on to the Quake or Quake 2 setting or something. I'm partial to Quake 2 because it's the first PC game I ever had.

Every stereotype you have of zoomers applies to Mexican zoomers. They play roblox, fortnite, and cod mobile.

No that would be eternalfags who think their mariodoom is somehow representative of doom

You mean the guy that can only pla

All I see is a faggot getting uppity because one anon said he prefers replaying 1, 2, 64 and 2016 over Eternal.

Why has this still not been topped?

what do you mean?
The game is absolute dogshit

CLIMB THIS WALL

JUMP ON THIS PLATFORM

CLIMB ANOTHER WALL

DONT TOUCH THE LAV- I MEAN POISON FLOOR!

it was embarrassing

TDA plays like a fucking Musou, it sucks.

I wouldn't be surprised. Eternal was like a 20 hour game, yet less than 1/3 players completed the campaign according to steam.

God damnit had auto post on

You mean the guy that can only play doom eternal and literally nothing else? Bro can't even play ultra kill and that shit's easy and he couldn't even understand elden ring.

underthemayo struggles with almost every game but he can finish the master levels so i guess doom eternal is not that hard

yeah it's a really stupid contradictory opinion.

What's wrong with them?

Mayo was birthed into this world specifically to play Doom Eternal and to have literally every other game for not being Doom Eternal.

contradictory

Preferring to replay another Doom game is a contradiction? What the fuck is wrong with your brain? Get help.

what a cursed existence

What is even there to talk about with any doom game besides Doom 3? All of these games are just style and no substance

ammo pinata

armor pinata

blood punch

meathook

dash

frag grenade

ice grenade

You think this would be true but half of this board is incapable of playing the game. That recent clip of DSP playing The dark ages is literally how people on here played eternal.

doom popularised deathmatch before quakeworld changed multiplayer games forever

Every stereotype you have of zoomers applies to Mexican zoomers.

Makes sense given that most zoomers look like they're printed from a Mexican mutt template. Brown skin, long socks, slides, gym shorts, hoodie, broccoli hair.

It's like he can't admit people don't like the game without having a melty

meh if a shitter like underthemayo can finish your game then your favourite game is not that hard

quick talk about Mexicans instead of shitting on doom eternal!!!

being obsessed with the difficulty

I just love the game, got over 300 hours from it, which no other single player fps could manage. That being said, you niggers still got filtered by it. Git gud

I'd rather do both. Fuck spics and fuck Doom Eternally Boring.

He now breaks down resorting to yelling out get good and calling everybody a nigger

The buck has been eternally broken

when it's specifically 2016, yeah.

poor enemy engagement

what does this even mean?

Any game that tried to force you into a "fun zone" is automatically shit

I'm sorry dude but this is literally every game. They ALL have confinements and rules that they force you to abide by as hard as you can. Eternal just had rules that were different from a typical shooter (because it's different from a typical shooter) and that made some people chafe.

getting filtered by a single player fps

You're an actual schizo. See a specialist.

Eh, the way the shield and melee attacks can play off of different guns makes for quite a bit of freedom.

Barely, just in the vein of "what weapon do you want to hold mouse1 against enemies with? Like how people complained about feeling incentivized to swap, you have strong incentive to sit on your weapon weapon as much as you can if you want to maintain a good pace, which is how nudoom has always been.

youtu.be/1So3BuQNq9g

Are you on repeat? Did the buck breaking break your programming?

yfw an new game comes out and deletes all the past games that came out before it unless you complain as much as possible

The Dark Ages is garbage, I wanna finish this shit and uninstall so I can go back to Eternal

all these shitters seething about Eternal

Even after 5 years we just keep on winning

switches weapons 20 times in 30 seconds

Fuck Eternal. This shit is like those cancerous COD trickshotters that killed the whole fucking franchise. And the other half of the game is dumb fucking puzzles

couldn't figure out keybinds in five years

You aren't a console kiddy are you?

Dusk is fucking garbage and probably one of the most overrated "boomer shooters" out there. It feels like a worse Quake 1 in every way, idk how you faggots pretend its good

Eternal is fucking great. But TDA and especially 2016 are better.

I agree. The only ones of all those indie boomer shooters that were any good were Amid Evil, Ion Fury (the first half anyway before the level design tanks super hard), and Prodeus.

no love for bolt gun? i thought it accomplished what it set out to do

p rank ultrakill on brutal

decide to give eternal another chance

drop it at the cultist base

Holy shit this fucking game feels like ass to play. They literally gimp you while forcing their retarded gimmicks down your throat.

ultrakill: not only can you rocket jump, you can ride a rocket

doom eternal: you don't do damage on melee hits

Fucking shit game. I love how half the reviews are actual valid criticisms of the game to this day. There is no fucking way they made a profit off this dogshit game. Fuck Eternal, fuck the retards who defends it, and fuck the bait posters who make threads about it to farm (You)s. I am genuinely mad that a game with so many good concepts was fucking butchered by that fat spic.

Dusk is fucking garbage

(You)

but ultrashit sucks too

I'm too dumb to understand what a blood punch is so I'll seethe instead

Many such cases

(you)

Still leagues better than Eternal.

What's good about it?

Horde Mode is basically an arcade mode. RNG Weapons harm the mode a lot though.

Prodeus

I never did finish that one. I liked what I played, but it didn't grip me the way Dusk, Amid Evil, or Cultic did. I think the reliance on arena battles wore me down.

People that play this with Le Weapon Gimmick Swapping are mid, & can;t get through it without exploiting the clear & present cooldown oversight by the dev team.

FUCK OFF FAGGOT. YOUR GIMMICKS ARE NOT FUN. THEY'RE FUCKING TEDIOUS HORSESHIT THAT ONLY THE MOST AUTISTIC OF INDIVIDUALS LEARN TO """OPTIMIZE"""

Bait used to be believable

Horde Mode is a shitty arcade mode because there's no combo meter like in 2016. You're not encouraged to go quickly in any fight, you just have to not die or use your BFG.

i genuinely agree, it has a few conceptually fun gimmick levels but there's nothing about it that was like DUUUUDE ALL TIME CLASSIC moreso than most other indie boomer shooters imo

guns feel like shit

level design sucks

game looks terrible (even keeping in mind what its supposed to be emulating)

He doesn't have any reasons why its good, he just parrots things that his YouTube overlords like Civvie11 told him. Astroturfed game and deep down they know I'm right

Why has this still not been topped?

What do you mean, it's already been topped.

Calm down, bro. Maybe Doom isn't the game for you if it makes you that mad. You should try Call of Duty if you can't handle any mechanical complexity or depth

You implied it is

I didn't really mind the guns, but the game had some big issues with how it implemented retro mechanics. It feels like they were designed by someone who heard of them, but has no idea how they worked. Every enemy infights, even those in the same class. You reach max speed by just jumping diagonally, you don't even have to change direction, stuff like that.

viper's a terrible boss fight but he does look incredibly and that's really what matters

No, fuck you. 5 years you shitposting niggers got off and now there's no more shill s to defend this turd. I am so fucking sick of this game being propped up as complex when it's just tedious

I wanted to love Bolt Gun, but it ended up being more frustrating and tedious than anything. Enemies with health bars ruin FPS games, and the enemies in Bolt Gun are particularly spongy. Too many missions/part stand out in my mind still as being overly hard and unfun (all the boss battles, any time bosses show up again as regular enemies, that one elevator mission, etc). I think the game had good sound effects and was a good translation of 40k aesthetics into a 90's FPS style, but as a game, I didn't enjoy playing it much.

Titanfall 2 would have been improved with a pilot v titan boss.

not to be all "skill issue" but dude...

Nothing skill issue about it, it's just a badly designed game.

you're literally just complaining about the hardest parts, which frankly weren't that hard, and not dealing enough damage, which is hilarious with how deadly the plasma is.

Keep coping over a game that everyone agrees is shit, which is why it was never part of the conversation until you brought it up. It was a poorly executed failure.

literally just mad because bad

Dusk and Amid Evil were good as hold-over games while we waited for Doom Eternal to come out, but those other games are just not worth mentioning dude. Ultrakill is the only indie fps actually pushing the genre forward at the moment - now that TDA has been met with such a tepid response it might be our only sustenance for the near future.

not even related to eternal

mad cuz bad

I'm tempted to say you get off on saying this in these threads.

Enemy corpses vanish after they die.
That is gay.
OG DooM is the best. Simply because the bodies lie where they fall.

Based.

This 100%. I died more in a single arena in Eternal than I did through the entire campaign of TDA. Eternal on Ultra-Violence and TDA on Nightmare. I even turned the game speed up to 150% like Anon Babble said to and it just made the enemy movements look more jerky and hard to read. Dragon and Mech segments might as well be QTEs with how idiot-proof the gameplay is.

My biggest issue with TDA is that it is fun. I appreciate that they wanted to try new gameplay and story and actually enjoyed all the additions, but you can feel that they were terrified people wouldn't like the new changes so they just made the whole game easy out of fear. It desperately needs the treatment Eternal got with TAG 1 & 2. Throw in some stronger enemies, bosses that actually punish you for messing up, and some levels that actually force you to get off your ass and pay attention to what's around you.

i remember how duskworld died

You do? I haven't heard this story. I thought it was just a poorly coded afterthought only good for small parties.

Because you've never played system shock 2

doom bad because it doesn't play like a trucking simulator

lmao ok

Because it's fun.
You can shield mini gun and ram most enemies really effectively but it's not as fun even if it is the most broken weapon in the game.

nuDoom is extremely homosexual

But 2016 was built so weapon swap is so strong in the first place. 2016 has the most broken weapon swap at all time with mods like plasma stun and burst gun like double shot ssg. Any fps that allows you cancel reloads or delays, it will be the first thing to be applied.

Realistically speaking, there's no reason why you need to switch between your entire loadout every 10 seconds, you can just use Q or whatever button swaps to your last gun and just do SSG and Rocket Launcher for like 90% of encounters. The only point to play like this is for 'sick montage' clips.

i can't even switch weapons that fast on keyboard wtf
also this is overstimulating me visually, i might have autism

That's not really that crazy input compared to what some fighting game execution can be or how K style Gunz gameplay is like.

Yea, it's just that eternal challenges the typical confinement of fps so it gets criticized for it even if the gameplay result is good. For example, would you shit on DMC for forcing you to use variety of moves and weapons for effectiveness and style point??? However, it is just an accepted game mechanic and people just enjoy it for what it is. It's the same when people complain about combo and execution in fighting game, but when games tries to casualize and dumb down that aspect, they always make a worse game for it.

That's because eternal is designed so that you can instantly recognize the enemies, even in the distance, because such info is so important in the game for success.
For dark age, enemies are barely recognizable but as long you can see the green attacks when they show up, you are okay

Weapon swapping is for showing off, why do people act like you HAVE to use it?
You can play Nightmare just fine and use weapons at your leisure and chainsaw grunts when your ammo gets low, you don't need to quickswap shit.
Parrying being such an integral part of The Dark Ages where you have to use it is way more forcing the player to play the game how they want you to, being discouraging to other playstyles. Quickswapping is just an option

so proud of their attack parry mechanic that was already so awkward because it literally telegraphs exactly where to shoot

lets reuse that but for half of a game's projectiles and every single melee attack as it shines every 3-5 seconds on average in a fight

The Maruader was fine because it differentiated him from the rest of the demon cast that you had to fight him a specific way, almost every enemy in Dark Ages has some green slash or ball to parry and holy shit it gets old quickly

Honestly, the Dark Lord fight reusing the mechanic wholesale as the crux of its entire design was probably the moment of no return.

Boomers cry and shit their pants after watching this

It was building up to it with those armored Makyr drones and the armored barons, and arguably many of the other enemy designs too. The design Dark Ages has is simply the kind of design the Hugo likes.

DOOM ETERNAL is the very proof Anon Babble sucks at videogames. It’s still hilarious retards are still getting filtered by Marauder.

This

Is Dark Ages really as big of a step down from Eternal as people are saying?

its just different
fastfags hate it
slow/normalfags love it

Nah, each weapons have their use. The best players utilize almost everything.

marksman makes the other pistols useless

charge shotgun makes the other shotguns useless

nailgun is legit useless, sawblade is just better

rocket launcher is niche as fuck and is mainly used for transport

railgun is primarily used with marksman, rendering the green and red variants niche or useless

grapple literally kills you in combat

red arm was so bad that HACKita had to put in an enemy that requires you to use it

Get this imbalanced tripe outta here. Even Doom 2016 is better than this.

Doom Eternal is 5 years old

Mayo could play Ultrakill, the whole point of his review was that the game was too easy and he could beat it just using the pistol. He also just doesn’t like souls games.

Damn, this guys pro

Because it’s the pinnacle of the FPS genre.

List of best FPS games I’ve played:

1. Doom Eternal
2. Dusk
3. Doom The Dark Ages
4. Doom 2016
5. Ultrakill
6. TF2
7. Halo slop and its clones
8. Overwatch
9. CoD slop and its clones

nailgun is useless

It melts Malicious Faces and Virtues if you dump most of its ammo into them

green railgun is useless

It fucks over Mindflayers and can be used as emergency healing on a boss

Doom 2016 is unironically better.
