SPOILERS: The final boss fight sucks

[lxRs451]

When i first saw the Icon of Sin in the trailers my hype levels were through the roof and i was expecting a badass fight at the end of the game.
Unfortunately it's just another "wall" with a few extra attacks (including using its' arms) and instead of shooting the brain you just shoot down armor panels for a bit and then its' flesh. They just copied the Doom 2 fight with a few additions.
The spider mastermind was so much better.

So you mean to tell me that the final boss to Doom Eternal isn't John Romero's head on a stick? REFUND!!!

i kinda felt like they just had a 6 year old son of a dev come to the meeting room and asked him "what should the boss be like" and he be like:

theres this biiig demon and you have to do pew pew on his armor and there are also other demons and there are tons of super weapons that refill, so you can spam your sword and bfg and kill em in one hit".

it feels cheesy and having the scarce wepons like bfg ammo and sword charges respawn totally takes away from their usual role and meaning in the game. you are meant to think about when using them, not spamming them to save up amo for the boss.

well... at least you got to kill a HUGE demon in the end

As much as i love the game i got to agree, the only boss fight that felt more of a chore, maybe it will grow on me on my second playthrough.

The bosses in this game honestly are too easy.

Gladiator is probably the most threatening, 100 damage on his swing attacks ? ♥♥♥♥ hurts.But once you fight against him a couple of times he's not that bad, but still the most dangerous.
Khan Maykr ? Is that even a boss fight ?
Icon of Sin - run around while shooting at him with an unlimited amount of ammo.

The Gladiator is notorious for ending Ultra Nightmare runs, Marauder is raped with the SSG and Ballista, the Doom Hunter is defeated by going around in circles, and Icon of Sin? Shoot it till it dies. 2016's bosses were definitely its weakest part and unfortunately, the same is true in Eternal.

TBH i prefer the bosses in 2016, cyberdemon was a good boss, maybe make him a bit more powerful and he's solid, same with the Spidermaster.

Gladiator was annoying AF, way worse than any other boss. He's like a (slower) marauder combined with a whiplash (BS range attacks).
