DOOM Eternal - the sequel to the 2016 reboot - now with The Ancient Gods DLC

[Lyric Suite]

I got seven lives nao lmao. Suck it down, figgits, i ain't dying to those bitch ass demons.

Levels seem to be bigger than the original, but the linearity is kinda of hilarious. There's also that thing now that allows to teleport back to earlier sections of the level, i guess you don't have to worry getting locked out if you missed secrets and shit like that, but unlike the original it's kinda hard to miss secrets since the level design is so linear it's almost impossible not to see them.

About 20% of them are quite clever but they are the exception.

In Doom 2016, the issue was that often times the solution to the secrets lied further ahead but most of the time going forward meant you were going to get locked out of the previous area so there was always a risk. If levels are always so linear in Eternal i would think that's going to be much less of a problem, as the solution to the secret will likely always be around the spot where the secret is. Not that it matters if you are allowed to teleport back to previous sections of the level though.

watched someone play for a couple mins.

this game looks retarded, am I missing something? why all the hype

You can say whatever you want about the game but the art in the Hell level is simply astonishing. I don't think I've seen the art of a classic game with semi-vague graphics reimagined so faithfully. It is just non stop carnage and insanity. A place of pure evil. The length was adequate but they could have made it longer.

Well, not every weapon because plenty of them share ammo types - two shotguns, heavy cannon and chaingun, plasma rifle and ballista and then BFG with unmaykr (hurr durr). As for enemy weaknesses it's mostly just plasma rifle for shields and it's a pretty damn good weapon in general with Heat Blast. And I did rebind them to be a bit more similar to classic Doom layout: 1 - Combat Shotgun, 2 - Super Shotgun, 3 - Heavy Cannon, 4 - Chaingun, 5 - Rocket Launcher, 6 - Plasma Rifle, 7 - Ballista, 8 - BFG. This way also all weapons that share ammo are next to each other.

The only one I don't use routinely is the ballista. I think I might have left 'C' available though, so maybe I'll put the BFG on that, put the ballista on 7 and make the rest more manageable. If it weren't for Marauders and Pinkies I'd probably rarely use the double-barrel.

That was true for the second half of the game, which this game sadly seems to be based on, except for perhaps Super Gorenest, which is really just a cleverly disguised linear level. The first half had interconnected levels and even a secret requiring a keycard that led to another secret that formed a nice loop to the main objective. The levels were also "complete", meaning you could backtrack to any area if you wanted to.

There is nothing inherently wrong with linearity as they can serve as palate cleansers following huge, sprawling maps. Ion Maiden has he best exploration in any recent FPS but the secret hunting got overwhelming at times and I felt guilty for not trying harder to find missing stuff. I think some of the levels could have benifited from linearity actually.

You are all guilty of funding Bethesda by purchasing this turd.

It's not perfect but it's a substantial upgrade over Doom 2016. I couldn't even finish that game.

Oh no, one of the very few AAA publishers still releasing singleplayer games of any quality. What a nightmare.

 

[Dawkinsfan69]

quality.

While I agree with the statement, a guy that likes boruto has no credibility when it comes to discerning quality.

If you guys don't think stuff like Dishonored 2, Doom 2016, Prey and Wolfenstein: The New Order are better than 90% of other AAA games released in the last 5 years then I don't know what to tell ya. You have way different priorities than I do. Hell even this, Rage 2 and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus are better than the shit EA, Ubisoft and Activision are pumping out for singleplayer.

It's sad that games like Dishonored 2 and Prey would even need to be defended here. It just shows a large portion of the Codex is stuck in the past. Either that, or they're raging edgelords who shit on everthing for the sake of shitting.

I tolerated your retardation for too long since you had a New Vegas avatar. I thought there might be a real Fallout fan deep down inside. But sadly you are just a Bethesdafag. Pray tell what games has Bethesda published that are quality? You fucking dumbass. Please go lick every guard rail you can find right now. You might as well put me on ignore because I plan on harassing you until you die.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Pray tell what games has Bethesda published that are quality?

Daggerfall
Morrowind
Call of Cthulhu: DCotE (not exactely good but charming)
New Vegas
Dishonored
Prey

Spoiler

Doom Eternal

Dishonored trilogy is in my top ten series, for one thing. I listed other games above. Your post is so fucking try-hard though I doubt I'm supposed to take it seriously? I hope not.

 

[Bigg Boss]

I notice you couldn't bring up a single game to mount a defense since you know you are full of shit.

The last three you can shove up your pee hole. The top three is a totally different Bethesda, so good job for all the dead guys that no longer work there that put in all the work making Bethesda good until it was made shit. It's like saying Blizzard makes good games. Then bringing up Diablo 2.

Giving credit to Bethesda for Obsidian's work is the only win you get.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

The Dishonored fanbase that tried to convince people they were worthy successors to games like Thief/Thief 2 have forever tainted those games for me.

 

[JDR13]

You asked what games had Bethesda published that are quality. New Vegas was published by Bethesda.

You really are a special kind of retard in this matter.

 

[Bigg Boss]

And I conceded that game was published by them and good even though they really just fucked over Obsidian over a single Metacritic point. I said he was right about that one and wrong on the rest. Fucking moron. You like the new shitty Deus Ex don't you? Kill yourself.

 

[Drakron]

The top three is a totally different Bethesda

Well ... no.
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth was by Headfist Productions that following "had problems with publisher Bethesda Softworks regarding finances" that I take they tried to pull the same scam they did with Arkane and Human Head.
