When I saw that bit of the DOOM Eternal gameplay and the slayer jumped in the ship and flew to that world with a bunch of demons scavenging about, and then they all came to greet him, that was pretty awesome. Quick, to-the-point plot bumpers set the tone and get you pumped to blow up some demons, canon-fodder or not.

I will say, I was a little disappointed with the 2016 game when I had it on XBox, but I have been considering giving it another go on Switch because I didn't get very far into the game before and there were things I did enjoy about it. It wasn't a perfect DOOM game, but it got some things right. And maybe it revitalized the series after all of these years.

As a developer? Yes. As a Publisher? No.

Sad point is Bethesda Studios has not done a notable product since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. And even that divided fans because despite the dungeon and map improvements it heavily stripped down RPG mechanics. Which the series had already been doing far too much previously. Now, TES was more or less an Action game with light RPG mechanics. Just like a higher quality Fall Out 3. Which itself was a low quality Oblivion.

Yet as a Publisher. With Dishonored, Prey, The Evil Within, and D00M. It's hard not to give credit its due.

While D00M: Eternal seems a bit edgy, bloated, and missing the point in my opinion, seems to be a highly anticipated game. Unlike Battle Royale for a crappy online game no one wanted. And I'm personally excited to see gameplay for GhostWire.

Bethesda just tried to sell us with zero gameplay and a bunch of cutscenes. Had I not known better I would think these are movies they are advertising and not video games. They are very out of touch with consumers right now. Who really gets excited by a cutscene these days? Especially with games we have never seen and we don’t have any idea what the actual game will be like. I’m not a Nintendo fanboy but I really think they did it right. Every game presented had tons of gameplay in it. You can tell they are selling video games and not movies.

I feel like they're really out of touch with most of their audience right now. I'm almost worried at this point about the next Elder Scrolls game and what kind of dumb gimmick they'll probably try to pull with it. I didn't watch their conference this year and I don't plan on watching anymore. It's just a cringe-fest and it's hard to watch, and that they're still trying to make something more out of Fallout 76 is a bit embarrassing. So I dunno... I was actually a fan of Fallout 4 but I don't expect another "real" Fallout game in a long time since it seems like they just want to milk the franchise via microtransactions (see Fallout 76 and Fallout Shelter)

All those three games have a lot things that are common to each other than differences

First-person shooter

Fast-paced gameplay

cannon fodders AI

futurist weapons

even same visual styles
