2016 has more players?

[Kraken]

I'm about to reinstall them and noticed the player count is lower in Eternal. Why? lol

[Welkrow]

Doom 2016 runs fine while Doom Eternal keep crashing for now reason. That helps too

[Mixed Herbs]

Doom 2016 is still a good game and it's definitely easier to digest. I just replayed it on Nightmare recently to prep up for a fresh Eternal run and whenever Dark Ages goes on sale for 60% off.

Doom 2016 is $2 right now, hell i know i gifted like 10 copies to people that had never played either one.
$2, how can you lose?

So i would imagine many others are doing the same, playing it for the 1st time.

DE is on sale too but i mean come on, you just cant touch $2

As far as the nonsense posted by the person i am not allowed to mention or speak to, who has never played either game.
Well, all you can do with nonsense is flush it and hope it is biodegradable.

It is fine to not like a game, there are many games i do not like.
And there is nothing inherently wrong with them, they are just not my thing.

Sometimes it is even interesting to hear legit reasons someone does not like something.


What is not OK, is to continually spam falsehoods into every thread.

If one was to look at the historical view, one would see that eternal generally has a higher active player count, but both are older games, Doom will be 10 years old soon.
And the numbers are generally meaningless.

Both are primarily single player games, both of them have pretty blah multiplayer though 2016's is arguably better (which sadly does not say a lot)
So numbers at any given single point in time are basically meaningless.

Both have high replay value actually.
Most people i know play the pick and choose method, replaying their favorite levels rather than actually running through the whole story again.

Because Eternal is a buggy mess that's become worse over time and the playerbase is fully aware of it.

Last two times I tried playing 2016’s Arcade Mode some demon refused to spawn or spawned outside an arena and I simply couldn’t finish the level (first time it was during the big fight where you destroy VEGA’s cooling, second time it was during one of Argent d’Nur arenas). And yeah, I tried to fire the BFG across the arena, hoping the tendrils kill or at least reveal the last demon. It didn’t help.

Anecdotal evidence is worthless, obviously, but I still felt the need to post it.

No, it really hasn't. Ive had one crash in 5 years & it's ran great. Maybe your pc just can't handle it.

none are similar to the original.
Both are pretty much arena shooters

You dont even own both games. You're known for trolling at this point.

Totally agree, Eternal was such a disappointment compared to Doom 2016.

Instead of trying to troll in here, why dont you ask the question under the Doom 2016 page?

It's just a more casual experience. Doom Eternal has a higher skill ceiling.

[CloudRogue]

Like Ace said, 2016 is a great game for 2.00 right now. Anyone interested in NuDoom should start there for almost no cost, and then check out Eternal if it jives.

can we just agree some prefer 2016 and some prefer eternal?

That would be the best option, unfortunately the person you're quoting has never played either game & just trolls multiple forums because they have nothing better to do.

Post history shows all of it.
