Doesn't look like Doom

[I Am A Professional Gamer]

Environmental storytelling seems to be gone. Eternal changed the level to level progression into a hub world. Looks like a ton of things are being retconned and changed or introduced. Doesn't even look like a Doom game anymore. It looks like they introduced some gimmicks slapped grimdark textures on it, threw in a braindead ai, and are continuing the trend of snubbing what made the series so big in the first place.

doom eternal changed the level to level progression into a hub world? yeas i guess but with lack of exploratoin and just areans from start to finish. which was not fun

Ah yes, environmental storytelling, the one thing Doom is famous for…

“Doesn't even look like a Doom game anymore.”

Says it all really.

Someone at id gave Doomguy a shield.

Just think about that for a second.

They gave Doomguy a shield. The guy already has armour! Why does he need a shield? They’ll say that he can throw the shield as it has saw blades. Doomguy already has a chainsaw. Let him throw that.

Honestly I can see where you're coming from but for me the mouthfeel was just completely off.

This isn’t the first time in the history of warfare somebody wearing body armor is also using a shield. If you think really hard, I’m sure you can come up with some examples yourself.

And no, Doomguy doesn’t have his human chainsaw anymore. He lost all weapons somewhere between Doom 64 and The Dark Ages. You can see it in Doom Eternal in a cutscene.

Doomguy didn’t lose his weapons.

id just made up some nonsense.

Whatever. Giving Doomguy a shield is dumb.

Also pretty sure there's a lot of bad fps game's but of course you won't mention them since they are a fps so they automatically are good.

Yeah because get this it's fiction it's not real so id can change whatever they want to.

[Bloody Moon]

Yeah look like The Witcher, i dont like the gameplay trailer

[Joker]

reasons my bait is bad but i hope you'll still give me points

1. i write the most obvious contrarian post
2. my points are simple statements without arguments attached to them
3. you won't see me post anything else in the thread except for the OP
4. private profile
5. this isn't even my hometurf, it's my first (and last) post here, i usually frequent other forums of games of which all are completely different genres than this game forum

easy points on this one

[ULTRA]

Looks more like Doom to me than 2016 tbh

the cape is a bit much though
