Doom Eternal - Evolving The Genre | Trav Guy

[@tackwardsfongjump1800]

I think part of the reason people find marauders bs/confusing is because the tutorial for him isn’t actually correct. The tutorial implies that you have to stand in a Goldilocks midrange zone, the actual way to beat him is to bait out his axe throw and then shoot him when he swings at you. The game also never tells you that he only spawns the wolf if you shoot his shield.

[@ThatTravGuy]

That is a good point that I didn't consider. I'll give you a heart so folks can see

[@GuyOnTheInternet53]

This is actually NOT a good point. The tutorial says what attacks he does at certain ranges, it never says you should NEVER be in those positions, it's simply telling you his attacks, and that midrange means he won't do those attacks.

[@raymondmagtanong]

Meh, nothing against Hugo personally, but I really don't like the idea of this guy walking into the Doom franchise and injecting his own personal interests into the franchise, when these things were never part of Doom before. The He-Man and Ghostbuster references; the high fantasy stuff; the mechs; etc. All of this shit feels extremely out of place in the Doom franchise. If I was to take over a pre-existing franchise, I would respect the source material. I wouldn't start radically changing countless things just to fit my own personal interests and likes.

I can say this without reservation: Eternal is a fantastic game. Every single problem with 2016 has been fixed: every weapon has its own niche and is relevant for the entirety of the game (even the Shotgun is still decent), the story is not obtrusive to the gameplay and is even climactic sometimes. The new additions to the gameplay are all great and help differentiate the game from its predecessor. Even the environments are more varied while still retaining the great level design! It's nice to be satisfied and even surprised by a sequel again.

[@DCTR_DD]

The shotgun is a must use, if you only use the rifle to kill weak points, you cant kill, like, 3 cacodemons. You must use the shotgun, you can destroy weak points AND kill cacodemons. And it is 1 of 2 weapons that gets weak demons into stagger state without exploding them imediately (aka ssg blast)

[@kingbash6466]

Doom Eternal really did feel different from Doom 2016. Especially after playing them back-to-back. I like many others, had to adjust to ammo limitations, armor management, and more frantic movement. Didn’t help that my first playthrough was on Nightmare. But when you finally understand how this game works, I think Eternal easily trumps 2016 in terms of gameplay. Then again, the fact that the super shotgun has a grappling hook would have made me bump this game above 2016 for that reason alone.

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

I agree overall. Eternal feels absolutely soul crushing until you learn the new Doom Dance but once it clicks Eternal might be the most intelligent shooter I've ever seen. Or rather it demands intelligence from the player in a way that I've rarely seen while still giving you the insane power fantasty if you can earn it. Eternal is imo the far superior game in terms of quality however the lack of Snapmap leave Eternal ironically limited compared to the endless content 2016 offered. The rare case where I think quantity might just beat out quality as a lot of Eternal's new features can be replicated in Snapmap, turning 2016 into a slightly janky hybrid. Look up Arch Revival to see Eternal maps and features remade in 2016. End of the day though both games are 10/10 in their own regard.

25:00 The issue with the marauder is not that he's hard, it's that he changes the gameplay style in a way the game doesn't train you for. The game trains you to get close and personal, to be aggressive, keep moving forwards and being aware of your surroundings, quite often just doing what you believe is right rather than think is right (heart over thinking). The marauder is the opposite: While he's active he needs to contain your full attention, he can't be dealt with via pure aggression, he needs to be taken out methodically with you moving BACKWARDS while you aren't aware of your surroundings. A lot of people just don't adapt to that, especially in a situation when you're surrounded by other demons that require attention and aggression.

The one thing I choose to let myself be smug over is that in 2016 I actually guessed that Samuel Hayden was the Seraphim for completely the wrong reasons because I had a completely BONKERS theory involving time travel that ended up being wrong in ever single way except for that one part I accidentally got right.

I feel like there should be a scar on the icon of sin’s head referencing how there is a big hole on his head and doom two

[@InfamousSirHellfire]

Yes. Good. Honestly I couldn't imagine a better time frame for the game to come out, at the exact moment people suddenly had a shit ton of free time, DOOM Eternal descended.... So did Animal Crossing, then the best crossover to never happened was pushed into pop culture.

I miss the pistol because in doom 2016 I forgot how to use the chainsaw for most of the game and the pistol was my “Ol’ reliable” whenever I and the area ran out of ammo, which was a lot.

[@Reeeaper491]

Fun fact, i actually have a vid on this on my channel, granted i had damage boosts and what not but, it is possible to hit the icon of sin with the crucible and take off an armor plate, the only good spots are his hands, head, and arms, and it a bit difficult due to depth perception

Hey trav, Another cool way to kill the marauder, and the fastest way is shooting an ice bomb over him, this will make him pull his shield up and track the bomb, this lets you use lock on rockets, and he dies really quick to lock on rockets

[@ThatTravGuy]

Woah really? I'll need to try that, that sounds way more efficient than making him track a BFG round.

[@SR-388]

@@ThatTravGuy bruh that's a waste of a bfg shot lmao

@@SR-388 Yea especially when Marauder is not immune to BFG when you stun him. If you want to use BFG on him simply parry using any gun preferably supershotgun and than switch to BFG quickly to one shot him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnevmZVmdr9kf9U

SOMEBODY FINALLY POINTED OUT THE MUSIC IN THE SECOND PART OF EXULTIA

[@eggboy9126]

On Doom 64: Lost Levels: This port was made by Nightdive studios, of which Samuel Villarreal, or as he's known in the Doom community "Kaiser," is part of. Kaiser is most well known for making Doom64 EX, so this port is actually extremely similar, to the point where the Doom64 EX level editor is completely compatible with this port. The "Lost Levels" are all new and made by Kaiser himself. Also, the lack of mouselook is to ensure authenticity to the original game, just like how the new Doom ports also lack this "modern" feature.

[@skippertheeyechild6621]

The Lost Levels are great. Would kill for more.

[@T.Gonz1216]

DOOM Eternal was the first FPS game I had played in almost 7 years, it's perfect, play it if you haven't already

[@ericdelvin8056]

I'm actually really happy I found this video, because I was looking for an explanation on some of the lore (i.e. why do people think Samuel Hayden is some sort of angel, how Doom's 1 thru 64 connect to 2016) for Eternal. And I gotta say, the events of the game make more sense now.

[@Ven0m.snak3]

Serious question here: Samuel Hayden specifically said the souls are harvested from the human body and the remaining body becomes the demons the slayer fights. So what humans make the cyberdemon or hell knight? What specific actions need to be taken in the physical world that causes someone to become an archvile? Can someone answer this?

[@ThatTravGuy]

The codexes of the game somewhat contradict what Hayden says. I believe only a select few demons are made from human husks, though which demons those are is hard to say - if I had to guess, Hellknights are at least one of them. But no, I'm fairly certain it's only a small handful of demons that are actually human.

[@RonaldAsks]

@@ThatTravGuy if you want to learn the entire thing, go check out Roannoake gaming's doom vids. He basically explains that probably all the demons were never actually a part of hell. Rather a different species that later turned into the demons with the argent energy and so on. Some of the demons such as caco and pain elemental are the same species just with sexual dimorphism.

[@Golden12500]

@@ThatTravGuy My guess is that what you did and looked like in life is what determines the demon created from the body. Zombies and Imps may have come from the more average citizens, Hell Knights could be the more rough and tumble type folks, Carcasses are pretty chunky and he does camp quite a lot so maybe he was once your typical overweight beer dad, and Archviles could have been more politically powerful people given how they boss demons around. In terms of massive or misshapen demons like Cyberdemons, Cacos, and Arachnotrons, they may simply be spawns of hell itself. Monsters like the Titans couldn't possibly come from human bodies, and we know Jekkad is it's own world so some of the demons must simply be it's natural inhabitants. They've gotta come from somewhere, and sometimes the wickedness of mankind just isn't enough.

[@Fliteless]

As a mediocre 1st person shooter guy but a fan of Doom from '94, I agree the marauder is a great addition. My issue (aside from skill) is that the AI isn't super stable. It seems to glitch occasionally and spawn wolf after wolf or rush without a green flash. He can go for over a minute without a green flash which is a millennium for someone who struggles with it. Yeah, I'm 4 years late, but just wanted to share that it's not the demon... It's his programming for me. They're actually super cool, IMO. Love your stuff. Our video game Ven Diagrams have a solid amount of overlap. 👍
