I like TDA better than DoomE

[DmAnd]

So after playing some of TDA, i decided to go back to DoomE because i'm pretty sure i did not finish it only to realize how much better TDA is.

In DoomE i feel like i am always on the limit of life and death. 'LOW HEALTH' 'LOW AMMO"
Maybe because i started a new game and i'm on like... mission 2 but DoomE is a bit to heart pounding for my taste.

DoomTDA just feels so much better.

In Eternal, utilize that chainsaw for ammo

[tallgeese]

TDA just offers a better level of control on how hard you want the game to be.

You can make the game just as hard as Eternal, but the baseline experience is about a power fantasy.

I prefer it over eternal mostly too. I think the shield runes are too over the top though, they put a bit too much Focus on the shield in this game.

+1 Super Mario Doom wasn't for me from the get go.....when I saw those stripper poles you swing off I was laughing my arse off..... This game is darker and more grim feeling, really digging this one. I'm going slowly savouring the levels....

[NegativeZero]

I hear Animal Crossing is a nice slow-paced game without much challenge, too. Might want to consider picking that one up as well if you haven't played it already.

First three stages in Eternal are painful. After that you have decent equipment

[Berserk Slayer]

It's just more interesting to me, that's all. No cartoon stuff. Hasn't got a load of double-jump platforming and monkey bars. Combat doesn't have glory kills getting in the way of enjoyment. Melee isn't relegated to a regular chore. Laid out and traversed a bit more like a Doom game.

[Carrot Obama]

Hell no! it is the worst Doom and it also has a new character called Doomette. Such a lame game. DOOM TDA is like a kindergarten and DOOM Eternal is like going to WW3 without gear in the first 3 chapters. Nobody gonna save ur ass in DOOM E. DOOM 2016 is a classic and better than TDA for the ones that hated Eternal i get it.

[MaxxGold]

Yep, TDA is my favorite Doom now.

Eternal is one giant Quick time event without the button prompts on screen. You have to do the exact same thing in every fight, every time.

I hope they add glory kills as optional function on the way and slow-mo toggle ON/OFF.

You really don’t.

It is highly subjective and a matter of taste. It is okay to like one or the other more. But there will always be people who can't handle this and will take these opinions as personal offenses. I couldn't like Doom Eternal. I get it why people love it. But i couldn't.

Fun fact, back in the days around Doom 2016 release, there was an interview with Hugo Martin who explained why this is. He explained that they always want to uphold the tension and the thrill during gameplay so they implemented a system where at full HP you get even a little bit of damage, but you loose much more HP, while around minimal or low health, you get slight invulnerability windows and damage mitigation, so it is intended that you always get that squeesing sound notification of low HP. So you feel the thrill. But you also get a kind of safe space which you as the player shouldn't even notice.

I like both TDA and Eternal.
That "always on the edge" is my favorite part and I feel that with the movement of Eternal, you are in far more control than in Dark Ages.

You absolutely do not lmao It's so easy to spot people who are either bad at the game or just took the opinion of someone else who was bad at the game and ran with it. Anyone who actually knows the game knows that's not true.

Have you tried..... lowering the difficulty? First time I beat Eternal it was on Hurt Me Plenty and I worked my way up and got UN for the game plus both the DLCs
