Gameplay gets worse with each new game

[Cuddletauren]

I really liked Doom (2016), the demons seemed to have "total HP", meaning you could chip away at their health in any way you wanted (pistol, punching, etc). Sometimes you could do too much damage and ruin your chance for a glory kill.

Doom Eternal completely ruined that, making it a fact that you cant actually beat down a demon to death without glory kill. You can only pistol them into a "downed" state etc.

Now we got this dark ages where you take your flair and you keep smacking the demons but they NEVER DIE UNLESS YOU CAN HIT THEM 3 TIMES!?!??!?!?!

Who feels this?"

um what the **** are you talking about? You can literally execute their asses with a single attack or blow them away with your guns.

[DOOM SLAYER]

you can use slider and make a 1000%damage to demons

You should play each game for more than 30 minutes before posting on the forums.

I agree with OP, gameplay gets more and more restrictive with each game, forcing you to play a certain way. If you just want to play free-form style you wont get any health/ammo ever, this design just sucks. You are forced to repeat like less then a hand full of different mini-gameplay loops ad-Infinitum in DA, just bad design, that gets boring very fast.
And those bullet-hell like designed enemies make DA look like Returnal, if it had a Very Easy difficulty setting.
Glad I only paid $1 for this, the quality is barely a weekend-rental worth...

what are you talking about, TDA literally allows you to play with any weapons, unlike doom eternal.

If OP thinks they have to melee something three times just to kill it then there's something severely wrong with what they're doing. Trying to do that usually just gets you killed because there are no iframes during melee.

Like, have you even SEEN the super shotgun in this game? 1-shots hell knights and arachnotrons... and all the other weapons become pretty OP once upgraded. You can pick one gun and use nothing else in this game.

Nah, The Dark Ages has the best gameplay of the Slayer Trilogy. It's much closer to a classic Doom game, with a few new tricks sprinkled on top. But the moment to moment gameplay is the most satisfying it has ever been. Fast, brutal and tons of enemies to gib.

They nailed it!
