2016 Doom > Doom Eternal

[Ch33zyDischarg3]

Eternal was a good game, but the gameplay loop and mechanics were a step backwards from the 2016 reboot.

Give us gameplay more similar to the 2016 masterpiece, please.

Objectively incorrect.

[Mauricio_Magus]

Sure, if you have bad taste.

[Kerv]

wrong lmao, eternal gameplay was a million times better

[Daemon]

Skill issue!

Hot take OP but I agree.
For one I didn't like how nerfed the melee was or how ammo was much scarcer.

There was also the big shift in tone/artstyle, lots of really out of place platforming props that don't fit the level.

Doomguy himself didn't have the same aura of this brutal, silent, faceless stranger he did in the first game that made him feel so mysterious and intimidating. It's as if in trying to construct an over the top 40k style lore around the character they made him feel less interesting. Less is more.

Nah. Once Eternal clicks you won't be able to go back.

Both are amazing games but Eternal reigned the gameplay from 2016 in so that you were powerful but not on autopilot by the end.
Every 2016 playthrough devolves into Siegemode Gauss rifle, Double tap SSG and rich get richer infinite ammo Rune abuse.
I'd say Dark Ages will probably be more methodical, with the shield takeing a prominent role when it comes to the pace of engagements.
At the end of the day it's still far to early to really tell, so let's wait and see.

Cut the b*llshit. It's boring. You're probably just bad at Doom Eternal. Deal with it.

I still love both of the games. But Doom Eternal revolutional in gameplay style. Its one of the best FPS ever made

[Nero]

get good maybe??

[John Freedom]

I think one of the big reasons people don't like Eternal's gameplay is simply because it just didn't click with them ngl.

It was weak because there was blood punch.

There's platforming in EVERY doom game.

Use the chainsaw, the game has unlimited ammo.

I'm reporting this thread for rage-baiting before it gets derailed and locked.
