- The Chaingunner, now with energy shield.
At least he's true to his promise, as dumb as it is.

Exactly. I'd rather Doom try to be some Warhammer 40k knockoff then whatever the flying fuck Wolfenstein has turned into.At least he's true to his promise, as dumb as it is.
I'll be blunt: if the other option was NuWolf with ghoulish Anne Frank in the zombie expansion and the dreadful New Colossus, it's better that we got a silly Doom.
Yes, there will always be the "Doom 1 was achsually a horror game you see!" crowd but, for a moment, let us think if a NuDoom of NuWolf characteristics would be a preferable option.
Eternal is a complete shitheap narratively, but it gives you interesting stuff to shoot at and interesting locales to shoot in. That's.... good enough. For now.
Don't forget that Hugo Martin said in one of the interviews about Doom Eternal that "there’s a Saturday morning cartoon quality to the tone of everything,” with a straight face. At least he's true to his promise, as dumb as it is. We're talking about a guy who is inspired by stuff like He-Man, Michael Bay movies, he often reads reddit to check what the audience thinks about his games and takes "ideas" from reddit, he thinks Doom 64 is the best Doom game ever made. There are other things, but this is enough to make a mental picture of what we're dealing with here. Hugo would be a good guy to have a beer with and talk about movies and games, but letting someone like that direct a game, especially Doom, is asinine. Hence, we have fucking mecha robots and power rangers in Doom.

the marauders are the easiest part of the DLC honestly. People were shitting themselves from the trailer when they showed two at the same time but they're the warmup for that room.The DLC has more Marauders. Marauders everywhere.
Beating them is not the issue. I want to kill fast and bullets are too slow. Maruader forces you to dance around with your gun up your ass waiting for him to drop his shield. I usually shoot rockets and nades at them now, which takes longer but at least I don't have to put up with the indignity of playing their peekaboo game.Marauders are piss easy, they're THE most telegraphed enemy in the entire game. So long as you don't have the reflexes of a turtle dying of brain cancer, you can beat one just fine.

How is it that whenever someone mentions that Marauders are shit, some goddamn morons have the urge to point out that you just suck and they are easy?Git gud or go play your mindless walking sims.
First in dancing around them as you eliminate everything else
First in dancing around them as you eliminate everything else and then in playing a fucking QTE when they go "hit me now!". Ugh.
It's just a nuisance - which both the designers and some players seem to misunderstand as "difficulty" and seriously put even more of them in the DLC?
as soon as these MFs show up, the game becomes about them (thus killing the most fun part of the game).
Their gigantic issue is how interruptive they are to the gameplay.
