This game's story is garbage

[grepi]

Somebody at the story writers team watched one too many marvel movies. 2016 was better.

Doom's story was and is chessy as hell - one man against the armies of hell. And while yes - the TAG2 ending was a bit dissapointing, due to it being rushed to meet the deadline, it's still quite fun. I don't get these arguments tbh. Even in 2016 doom - the story was a chesse-fest, with our protagonist being a man who is feared by the entire hell and gets a freaking building dropped on him just to trap him into the tomb you awaken from in the games start.

Even old doom games had ridiculous story (in those mission end logs you would get at the end of episodes).

The story doesn't take itself seriously, is full of fan service, and it was never meant to be a narative masterpiece like silent hill 2 or some ♥♥♥♥. So why are you crying about it? It's a dumb, and pretty fun story - that is not too intrusive and doesn't impact the gameplay at all. With the gameplay being some of the best FPS genre has to offer.

Superfly, Noname, Unknown and all these other trolls who sit here and comment on every discussion how "Eternal is bad" - get a life. Seriously. You guys are so pathetic, that you spend your days ragging on a game you hate. Day in and day out. Do you even have a life?

"I know you are, but what am I," only works when you're PeeWee Herman, space.

From shooting demons to killing synthetic space angels and a giant baphomet creature with a lightsaber. Yeah, they went a bit too far tbh.

icon of sin in eternal is what it was supposed to be in doom 2, they just didn't have the tech for it back then.

Ight, fair enough. But we still got dragons, thor's hammer, pacific rim mechs, and magic machines that infuse people with superpowers. This stuff makes doom 2 look realistic

i guess, i just never figured doom is supposed to be realistic.

the dragon was literally used once in a cutscene to travel to another place. thor's hammer is a big, solid, hammer. the hellbreaker is not like that. pacific rim's mechs are no where located in TAG2 or the game, but some inspiration was based off of them maybe if the game director totally wasnt the guy who also directed pacific rim.

Mystic things in Doom started making sense as soon as the franchise introduced actual divine demons from hell invading a futuristic and advanced humanity.

Wait a second...

The right choices for DOOM wouldn't require constant justification.
...Just sayin'.

I don't even try to understand the story in Doom. It's different when I play Halo, Doom Eternal could be about Doom Slayer trudging through armies of hell for the last condom in mankind to use the last woman on earth and i'd still eat it up thoroughly and enjoy it.

I think one of the contributing factors is that people who focus on superficial aspects of the game - story, bright colors, etc. - are doing so because they haven't gone on the journey the game offers.

They might have cleared Nightmare or played through the campaign, or at least watched the cutscenes. They can pick out the dragon or hammer, portals with ships coming in and focus on that. They can talk about how gamebreaking a skippable cutscene is. They'll do this because they have zero investment in actually playing the game or understanding its actual appeal. Torch the whole forest because a few trees might be diseased.

They didn't grind out a deathless run in the Blood Swamps. They don't care about rebinding keys and improving. At this point, mastering the game and understanding the things that work in Eternal is blasphemous to their perception of it. It's easier to jump on the weakpoints and try to twist those flaws as a big part of the main drawback.

They're simply trying to validate the fact that they've so heavily missed the mark. Just let them; it actually kind of makes the whole experience more flavorful. I actually enjoy the guy who parrots "trashternal" in every thread.

Eternal isn't a perfect game - let them wallow in the shortcomings while we enjoy what makes it great. Enjoy the dichotomy and the reasons someone stands on either side.
