Doom Eternal is an upcoming first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main game in the Doom series and a direct sequel to 2016's Doom, and is set for release on March 20, 2020, for Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch version planned for a release at a later date.

The real question is why didn't they implement a randomized melee combo system instead of same 2/3 punch combo.Its a giant missed opportunity to mix a kick to the face with a shotgun blast afterwards or a powered air kick to the chest at the end of harpooning a demon.That intertwined with the gun mechanics would've made every other fps game completely obsolete and add a shit ton more flow to combat.

[@michaelk4480]

In fairness, I suspect a lot of the criticism for the cinematics comes from how DOOM 2016 largely disregarded its own story. This was best communicated early on in the part where Hayden starts giving exposition only for the Slayer to grab the screen and throw it aside. This was both unexpected and a very refreshing defiance of modern gaming tropes. Also brilliant in DOOM 2016 was how they were able to communicate so much with relatively little. The part in the elevator where Hayden explains it’s all for the good of mankind but the Slayer looks at the dead body, cracks his knuckles and racks his shotgun was a perfect example of showing (instead of telling) us the character and motivation of the Slayer. The cinematic approach here is reversing course from what many loved about the previous game. That’s not necessarily a bad thing and I’m still eager to play, but I do understand the people who are turned off by it.

[@StrikeNoir105E]

The main compensation though is that Doom Eternal will allow people to skip any cutscenes, unlike in 2016 where you ran into sections like watching Olivia Pierce do whatever for nearly a minute while you couldn't move or do anything about it. It's not like Eternal will be getting rid of the first-person story segments entirely, just that there'll be more third person cutscenes to show stuff they otherwise couldn't had they stuck in first person.

[@TacoCookiez]

26:04 I was thinking a lot about these sections during my playthrough. They do seem tedious and somewhat unintuitive at first, but I think the main goal from the devs is to constantly remind you, the player, of the double jump and dash. The more comfortable the player is using them outside of combat, the more likely they will us them during fights when you really need to be mobile. It's not that elegant of a solution but I can't really think of any other way to get players more comfortable with the movement system and I think it does a good enough job at accomplishing that, assuming of course that's what their goal was.

[@jocosesonata]

"It's a battle for survival." Yes. For the demons.

[@KevBoy3D]

Jocose Sonata Not really the case anymore, with all the stuff you have to do now to survive like using the chainsaw a lot more for ammo and the flame belch for armor. It feels much more like I am the one needing to survive here

[@jocosesonata]

Aww, what? That's a shame. Kind of takes away the feeling of a nigh-unstoppable, demon-decimating rage boi.

[@greybayles7955]

@@KevBoy3D I kinda thought that was when Doom 2016 was at its best. My nightmare run was easily the most fun i had in that game and i was getting torn apart several times in every encounter. When you finally beat it, it feels like YOU won through pure skill instead of your character winning through being a god. I really like the difficulty in Eternal so far but i havent finished my UV run quite yet, then we'll see how torturous nightmare is.

[@Trollensky]

@@jocosesonata Not being challenged isn't fun though

[@jocosesonata]

True that. Then again, in Hotline Miami you can feel like a nigh-unstoppable killing machine and still feel that challenge, and don't feel like you're the one surviving. Also, off-topic: wouldn't it be cool if the Glory Kills in Doom Eternal was just like the executions in Hotline Miami? Instead of it being pre-animated, you have to press buttons to bash the demon's face in.

It's always nice to watch someone who has a passion for the subject matter of their videos. I'm not usually into FPS games, but hearing Gman talk about the genre made me take the plunge into Doom 2016. I'm really looking forward to starting Eternal, on Ultra Violence, of course. I don't want to be dead to everyone.

I agree. DOOM Eternal actually felt like it was made with the players’ interests in mind instead of being made off of “market research.”

[@flibbernodgets7018]

Just finished it. Liked it a lot but I still think 2016 is my favorite, simply for how it made me feel at the time. I would say Eternal is more fun to play, but we were all expecting it to be, right? DOOM 2016 showed up out of nowhere and blew our minds and recaptures the greatest elements of the genre.

[@samuel_eee4744]

I disagree that Doom 2016 "recaptures the greatest elements of the genre", all it really did was bring back the old style of FPS shooters in an era where Cover shooters had taken over, that's what makes it so important. Doom Eternal is an expansion of what 2016 set up, they coexist perfectly whilst still filling their own roles. (Btw this was just me pointing out a little thing, not attacking your preference whatsoever)
