Doom Eternal Hype Thread. Eternal Hyping. Confirmed Masterpiece.

Its better in every way. its different sure. you are low on ammo that make it more challenging.

Errr okay. Seems like ID went out of there way to seem "edgy" and above traditional video game conventions....but it just came off as total cringe anyways. That said, Eternal is still a competent FPS, just gets repetitive real fast but that's partly because I kept replaying Doom 2016 for a long time. Low on ammo? Too much ammo if you ask me. I might be in the minority here but I liked when there were shortages here and there...just enough to feel a slight level of scarcity but never to the point where you basically had to reload a previous save. Gonna play some more later tonight.

Can't say i'm a fan of the earth setting, much like Doom 2, it lacks any sense of atmosphere and if anything I got Darksiders vibes.

When you put the realistic, bland setting against enemies lighting up like christmas lights, it feels off.

Prefer the og chainsaw as well where you put enemies into a stun-lock. Now it's basically a Mortal Kombat animation where you (not really strategically) get gum-drops.

Just finished the first level, and yeah it is a good game, but so far the 8 review GS gave it seems really fair. Except the control (it handles awesome), nothing really stands out compared to a lot of other good fps. To early to judge whatever it is better than the first one, but the ammo management i would imagine get old really fast.

So far the ammo management just seems like a pain in the ass, not really something that adds to the challenge in any meaningful way.

So in other words its inferior. Thanks for the update.

use different weapons. this game require strategy.

@ghosts4ever: nonsense response.. my dam shotgun has 16 shells, and a alternative shot takes 3( I believe). Hopefully there are options to up the amount of ammo you can carry later on, right now it’s just dump..

So far I'm enjoying this game it's running silky smooth on my ancient 970 GTX but f#ck Bethesda!!! for forcing me to make a account to their stupid website to play this game WTF!!! man this is why people miss the old days of gaming we didn't have to put up with all of this shit.

like when valve forced consumer to make steam account to play Half life 2 right?

The level design looks so much better than 2016. I can't wait to play it now, but I'm gonna replay 2016 first (after I've finished Dragon Quest 11 and Half Life Alyx)

Just beat the first level :). So far it feels pretty similar to the last one. But it’s too early to tell of course. But a lot of fun (and a little exhausting) to be back in the Doom world!

Can you not be a corporate shill for like 5 minutes? you should do PR for them or better yet just join their forms and don't come back here if you're going to be so damn defensive when anyone ever talks bad about Bethesda.

Ahhh, so cheat codes are unlockable items, I see you Ghosts.

Does anyone knows the cheapest place to get the game? I normally buy everything from cdkeys, but its still pretty expensive in cad.

You should talk to the ban dodger known as casual4ever, i'm sure he can get you a copy for real cheap lol

The preorder game is better than the main game.

When you get mocked before you even type the article out.

Psychobabble me, me, me

The Doom Marine is the archetype of white masculine power fantasy in gaming – a role he continues to fill to this day without much change – so this rare acknowledgement of vulnerability, trauma, and mental illness is important, and one that I appreciate in my own experiences of mental illness.

It’s still not often that men in action games are allowed to be tired or sick, and even less often that they’re allowed to be afraid. The result is still a power fantasy, but one tinged with the contours of depression.

@uninspiredcup: cringe

I'm not clicking that link, you have shared enough

My favorite Kotaku article was when the writer directly compared himself to Broly.

@uninspiredcup: no puny human can compare to Broly, Kotaku smokes crack

The game is good, but I have some criticisms about how it flows because of all the constant interruptions because of weird shit they did like TELLING you a monsters weakness before you encounter it.

That's doesn't sound good to me. I concerned about getting this game based on the emphasis on story and this detail doesn't help.

Yeah, think the settings to turn that off are in the accessibility options, but it is annoying.

This game definitely interrupts you far more than Doom 4.

There is difference between bethesda software and bethesda game studio.

I never liked bethesda develop games anyways as they are mostly crap be it elder scroll or fallout. but as publisher they are doing greate job as always minus wolfenstein.

you mean Doom 64? no its not.

Eternal is second best FPS ever made after STALKER SoC. game is just so amazing.

I really do hope that their next game is a Quake reboot. I want to kill shit in castles and stuff. Make it happen.

Quake reboot wouldnot be much different than this because this is basically Doom mixed with Quake.

I dont want quake reboot now. i want them to make spritual successor to Doom 3.

The gunplay may feel similar, but the enemies design and art style wouldn't be that similar. They can also make Quake darker/horror'ish and also with a more serious tone.

true. but Quake 1 style reboot. that was primiarily SP game but if it release today. many fans complain about not having herp derp a MP.

how about Doom 3 spritual successor under new ip. more slower paced horror game. they made it before and it works.

Industry has enough slow paced horror games.

third person? sure

not FPS horror.

OK, I've played for around 6 hours now. It's good. Got a few complaints though.

That purple floor crap is just lame.
The story is lame. And not only because it interrupts you too much.
There's too much flashing of colors.
There's too many tools.
There's too many upgrades. Replaying the game is gonna be a slog thanks to that.
Some upgrades are for babies. Slo mo?
Doomguy moves a bit too slow.
So many arena lockdowns.

This whole managing of health, armor, ammo, fuel is a gameplay design that didn't make DOOM more fun. Feels more like you're forced to play in a way you don't want to.

But the shooting with that soundtrack feels amazeballs. Enemies are fun to kill. 8/10 seems about right.

I found this game better than any FPS that is not STALKER. it start of bit slow but become better afterwords. its creative game.

low on health and ammo give you challenge.

It would if I didn't currently have 11 extra lives on me.

Do you disagree with my complaints? If not, is this really the best FPS ever or do you just have to say that because you hyped it to heaven?

the game is far more challenging than Doom 2016 thats why it has extra lives. many people complain about game being hard on steam.

beside i can complain about something like i dont like inclusion of talking demons here, i wish they remain silent, i dont like why they include heaven and angel and other fantasy elements but thankfully you only fight demons here.

theres thing i may not liked.

other than game is better than Half life 2.

Wow. People suck at games. I'm playing on Ultra Violence (not Nightmare, since you have to learn a thousand tools to be able to play it properly first). I can now die 11 times and just continue like nothing happened. But I probably wont, and I'll sit there with 50 extra lives soon.

Nice to see you acknowledge at least something bad about the game. Although, that complaint was meh. My complaints were great and awesome, reflecting my amazing taste in games.

Half life 2 on hardest difficulty was cake walk too. while this game is far more challenging.

you never low on ammo and health and armor in Half life 2 since there are every where.

I couldn't agree more with this statement and yes f#ck that purple ground it's the worst.

Like.. who at id software thought it would be fun to not be able to run and jump? Who?!

This game save gaming.

So for casual4ever then LOL.

@ghosts4ever: DEF is not saving gaming you fool.

you have not played it. nor will play it.

Doom Eternal Flop cannot save the FPS genre let alone gaming as a whole.

then name better FPS.

LOL you cant.

the only FPS that will be better in future is if STALKER 2 release next year, or if proper Half life 3 will release in future. otherwise this game raised the bar.

Congratulates id once again

https://www.pcgamer.com/doom-eternal-roars-past-100000-concurrent-users-on-steam/

in its first day of release. it sold double the amount of Doom 2016.

@ghosts4ever: That article is about concurrent users, not sales. And considering whats going on in the world, doubling concurrent users is nothing special.
