I link this video, and specifically the time-stamped part, whenever this discussion comes up, because it really elucidates what Doom was when it originally came out.
Pretty accurate representation of what many of us abhorred by sound design and ost feel when playing Doom 2016 and heard from Eternal videos.
Cool sounds and amazing music become a problem when they start becoming disorienting once you can't hear what's going on around you. Even in Doom (with modern sourceports) you can at least kind of tell where an enemy is and how close an Arachnotron is by the volume of its stomping, though sound design wasn't as important in Doom because you face most enemies in Doom head-on, enemies in Doom don't try to circle outside your field of vision, and levels which spawn enemies behind you are often shit anyways. I don't understand why the audio mix in nuDoom then prefers to prioritize the constant screaming of the Possessed, which are literal cannon fodder enemies. I'd rather choose to hear what those devious Imps are up to around me.Pretty accurate representation of what many of us abhorred by sound design and ost feel when playing Doom 2016 and heard from Eternal videos.
Sorry you don't like cool sounds and amazing music.
I can understand how you came to that conclusion, but I think Halo CE's combat is as fast as you're willing to make it. As long as you have a plasma weapon and the pistol elites can go down in seconds, which will more often than not send the grunts into a panic where they're easy pickings. Jackals only take one shot to make them raise they're shield in the stagger animation and another to the head to take them out. I'm simplifying it a lot and it takes a lot of practice, but when you get the hang of it even Legendary difficulty can be completed relatively quickly.Halo is very, very slow...
The library can be a bitch, yeah. I like to think Bungie had it that way so players could get used to the flood as an enemy, but considering it's after 343 Guilty Spark it's a little late for it. Also the large copy paste areas tend to drag on without a hog or a ghost. But other than that level, they usually give you a vehicle to traverse the larger environments so you don't have to worry about too much walking.I still remember the Library
... the Hunters give interesting combat
Don't plan on watching the video (because it seems to be offensively boring), but agree with the tittle:
Though, it seems the guy is actually defending nuDoom 2...
We are not just making a Doom game anymore, we're building a Doom universe.
It's gonna help sell it even more. People love the idea that everything they like they need to have "deep lore" and a super big "game universe." People don't want to just enjoy games or even game series anymore. They gotta have this investment of lore and universes for all of them.We are not just making a Doom game anymore, we're building a Doom universe.
This sounds like a threat.

After that doxxing blunder - good luck with PC sales. I'm not buying anything from them unless it's on steam.Confirmed to be bethnet exclusive.
i think it'll be like with deus ex mankind divided."Building a Doom universe" - I bet if there is another game after Doom Eternal its going to be some massive open world crap to do repetitive stuff for 60324634603400000000046346346 hours and buy crap through microtransactions :/

After I read how Rebel Galaxy is first year exclusive to Epic Store, I thought now the madness with exclusiveness starts and other companies like Bethesda will also make all their games exclusive... well, that was fast. If Doom Eternal is exclusive, so will be Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. I mean inXile & Obsidian games will also be exclusive to Windows Store in future... so every major publisher makes their games exclusive to their platform.
Where's the confirmation? I was super pumped for Doom 2-2 but I'll be goddamned if I'm going to use the Beth launcher.Confirmed to be bethnet exclusive
