re: Doom Eternal Official Thread

I enjoy the platforming parts, if you even want to call them that. Holy shite, did people just want to literally shut their brains off when they played this? It’s got to be one of the most simple platforming games I’ve ever played - again, if you even want to call it that. It’s so minimal.

Honestly, my biggest complaint so far is the size of the fricking text, which I believe was an issue in 2016. Why the frick do I need to bee 2 feet from the screen to read the hints?

Just re-read my post and realized it didn’t make any fricking sense due to typos.

Thanks I’ll check that out, but honestly I’m not sure that will help based on previous games that allowed larger UIs. I’ll check it out, though. Thanks

On the second to last level now, there are a some longer jumping puzzles on here, including a pretty tricky one where you gotta shoot a target in midair, maybe that's what's got everyone so pissy. I did it after maybe 5-6 tries, but maybe there are people stuck or something.

Regardless, the boss in this level is brutal, even on normal. The last few levels I've actually been hitting a stride, now that I'm fully upgraded and have gotten better at the combat but this bitch is ridiculous. You gotta land 6 blows on her and the best I've done so far is 4. Lots of quick deaths so you get can in lots of tries fast but sheesh. I've probably tried like 20-25 times. Taking a break for now.

There's this stupid arse "armor" you can activate after you fail so many times on bosses but I turned them even offering that shite off in the settings at the beginning because using that is pathetic.

"You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference."

Finally beat her.

yes the combat is awesome, I'm a million times better at it than I was. Def addicting

Agreed. I thought there was a decent amount of hell but way too much Argent places. That world is just boring and I think there are 3-4 missions there. They needed a few old school Doom style settings, like the Foundry from D16 for example.

You run out of ammo way too quickly.

Like any doom game, you conserve your ammo because you do t know when you’ll have 15% health and 30 bullets left.

I like the new doom series.
I wish they’d have kept to the horror like in doom3.
Imho that was the best one out of them all.

I actually beat the final boss in my first try, without any extra lives. It's chaotic but the infinitely spawning crucible charges make it rather easy, compared to the 2nd to last boss. There also were alot of places to hide from the boss when things went south.

I almost died like 10 different times so on harder difficulties I'm sure it's a insane. Tanking damage isn't really a thing on harder difficulties so that forces different strategies.

Agree. Horror elements have always been a staple of Doom and this new series really hasn't embraced that, especially Eternal. Regardless outstanding game.

Agree with all of this. But Doom is definitely not a horror series lately, not since Doom 3 which I love.

I love the game, it does seem a lot of the changes have rubbed people the wrong way. Leading to a piss ton of differing opinions which is fine. But I think everyone can agree.
