Are Women to blame for this disaster of a sequel?

[LeBeef]

Doom 2016 was fantastic.
Doom Eternal is a muddled pile of crap and you can't convince me otherwise cause it just isn't true. So who is to blame for this giant POS we all paid for? Im not happy to say it but all signs point to it being...

Women....or more specifically, Female SJW diversity Hires at "Woke" gaming companies.

Doom eternal goes out of its way in the credits to highlight how wonderfully diverse and inclusive the dev team is. "Look at all our women and people of color!" well huzzah!, thats great, whoopie for IDsoftware and liberals everywhere, except I didn't buy the game to to support a more diverse and inclusive gaming company and nobody else did either. I bought the game on the strength of how awesome doom 2016 was. Doom Eternal was sold to me based on that previous success, and its ridiculous amount of paltforming, rainbow colors, incoherent levels, challangeless enemies, and compete disregard for the storyline, rob it of the feel and experience of what made doom 2016 so great.

Levels here make no sense, maps that are supposed to be part of a human mars colony have no flow, 95% of these structures don't even hint at any logical purpose so why am I collecting big floating keys to access them? the combat is predictable and repetitive. Gore kills are fun when they are rare, having to do it every 30 seconds to refill ammo or armor makes it tedious and unenjoyable AND why are demons just leaving AMMO/HEALTH out everywhere for you to pick up? why are they providing convenient floating walls that allow you to jump to in order to advance and kill them? and WHY do I need to do this on EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LEVEL simply to move around and pick up said keys.

When did doom become Super Mario Bros?

WTF happened to the half-life style story they were building? it was interesting and complex and layered with characters and depth, where was the resolution? Why is the earth radio referring to you as doomguy? is this supposed to be funny? cause it was cringe and made me want to uninstall and also regret paying for the title. Why are you in a floating castle in space with cuddly toys and deathmetal records and guitars?? because someone thought thats what would appeal to the "dudebros" ? it would be insulting if it wasn't so easy to picture the non binary landwhales who dream this garbage up.
The whole game is basically a bunch of random user created maps one after another with no link between them and no Story that makes any sense at all. "oooh lets makes the castles all goth and grimdark, thats "doomy" right guys?" Mindless garbage that screams "roundtable discussion" where every halfwit new hire on the dev team whose gaming experience amounts to a nintendo switch or a playstation 2 throws out an idea and because nobody wants to say, "No thats wrong", or "I don't think your a good fit for this project" so they included it all.

whats odd is that I've seen a strange similarity in Blizzards Overwatch, which also likes to push its "diverse and gender inclusive dev team" agenda. Levels that are made "safe" to the point of them not being enjoyable to play. There are no exploits. No places on the maps where someone gains an unfair advantage over other players. The environment stops being your enemy or your friend. instead its all equalized and equally boring, but hey! soldier76 is homosexual! yay liberalism! again I buy games to be challenged or immersed, not lectured to or mollycoddled because someone is worried I might be sad because its challenging or scary.

Are women the problem? Am I saying dev teams shoudln't hire women or be diverse ?

Of course not.

But the influence of devs whose primary gaming experience comes from platformers and not FPS games is woefully obvious here.

The focus needs to be on hiring actual gamers, who happen to be women or diervse. rather than female devs to fill some woke quota who may have played super mario at some point. There is a huge difference between the two and its very plain to see in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ titles like this and Overwatch. It just boils down to industry laziness, and thats what Doom Eternal development feels like. Lazy.


This is not doom 2016, and Im incredibly disappointed with where the industry seems to be going.

the credits in eternal sucks so much compared to the cool end credits of D16, you can´t deny that.
then again eternal sucks compared to d16,

and besides the misleading title OP has few good points one can only agree.

i agree with the credits not being nearly as awesome as D16

Oh, the over the left shoulder one. Forgot about that.

Yes, this . . . You set some 3 to 7 demons (or more) on fire, explode everything, feel like exploding piñatas and collecting candy for days.

that's exactly my point.

it's too trivial.

I'm not sure what's worse here.
Spending so much time on a troll post, or actually being serious.

[Hundinger]

No way this guy actually believes that ♥♥♥♥. But then again, this is earth 2021.

I would understand such a post in MK11 topics. What has Doom Eternal to do with SJWs and wokeness? End credits featuring the women and men of color working for id as well, not just the white males? Oh those radical SJWs, how dare they feature all of the employees working for them? Please someone close this post. DE forum is bad enough with the constant troll/bait posts, be it certain enemy/level designs, level modifications (nerfs or buffs), game design (too much platforming), we don't need politics to ruin this further in a politics free game.

Can change the number of posts per page, default is 15.

This is post 60, and it's about 59 too many.

I use 50/page. For me it's 2 pages. :)
