WTF is up with the jumping "puzzles"?

[Spinnyhelm]

I keep forgetting why I uninstall this game and then I run into jumping puzzles using mechanics I don'r remember. It ruins the pace of the game and I shouldn't have to look at a walk through (the person in the video also didn't know what to do.) I have been playing doom since I was a child. I remember things that were hard but not nearly this obnoxious. I didn't even have the internet to help me figure it out yet I still beat doom and doom 2. I'll get back to it, but not tonight. I signed up to kill demons no do a gymnastics routine.

its really not that hard man, its just jumping and dashing

[Spinnyhelm]

Puzzle is the wrong word. There is a mechanic to shoot a button that was used in the first level that I forgot. Still, it made me quit for the night.

as someone who only just got into Quake recently, (before anyone @ me Doom Eternal is my favourite game and the platforming does not ruin it) but honestly, it does feel more like quake than Doom or should i say Quake feels like Doom Eternal for my case lol
But Classic did have platforming to though despite not jumping and even some platforming to skip parts of a level
I would advise using the air control rune to give you better control in the air you can adjust where you are making landing where you want easier and maybe the Chrono strike rune to slow down time as you need to do a key shot, remember with chrono strike it wont start to recharge until you use it all, it will show how much is left in the rune part of your hud.
it is much more forgiving in this game with mistakes. keep at it and you will get it
remember RUNES AIR CONTROL AND CHRONO STRIKE i just put in caps to make it more clear

The platforming makes you press the same buttons you should be pressing while killing demons. Jump, dash and shoot and later on grappling. It seems random and out of place but in the end it is getting you to become familiar with the movment so you die less in general. Demon AI can't keep up with you in the air most of the time.

In my opinion this is a complement to DE. The movement system in q3a was groundbreaking at the time, and it's great even by today's standards. Very few games got anywhere close to it, and yeah I also think DE is up there with it.

Yeah, I just got the game too, but I don't think these puzzles are THAT hard. Sure, you might forget you can wallclimb or dash, but it's just teaching you to get familiar with the movement.
