Glory kills are cancer. They break up the momentum way too much

[@Lugbzurg]

I always, *always* keep the smoother jumps rune equipped at all times. The game feels kinda sluggish without it. Doom Eternal also fixes my biggest gripe with the glory kills and adjacent mechanics. Once your health is full and you have *any* armor at all, you are completely de-incentivized from using glory kills. Now with the flame-belcher added, that gives me something more to do.

Well it IS the same doom guy we all got to play as in the original games. The demons couldn't stop him by killing him cause when you die in hell you're brought back to life later in the same area. So they stuck him inside a coffin without killing him to seal him away after his revenge rampage for daisy dragged on long enough.

[@BloodRedFox2008]

@@1216shadow His revenge for Daisy was Thy Flesh Consumed (the end text said basically that whole episode was him avenging his pet bunny). Doom 2 had him helping the people in demon infested areas first escape and then he took on the Icon of Sin head on. Doom 64 was him returning to Mars and then Hell because the Mother Demon escaped detection initially and she was sending a new army of demons to the Mars bases, and once the Mother Demon was defeated he chose to stay in hell to continue slaughtering demons to ensure they didn't try and invade again. Of course at some point the demons managed to trap him in that coffin, but luckily the revived UAC years later found it and got him and his upgraded armor out of there.

[@Loopy1330]

I'm going to make a serious point here: The original Doom wasn't the first first-person shooter but it was a game that really shook up the industry and meant that first-person shooters were something to pay attention to. Doom Eternal is really sticking to Doom's character and like you said, it seems like it's going to be another big revolution for the industry for what it does; refining Doom's gameplay and combat to it's most smooth and fluid form possible while mixing things up for the better. It wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing the rise of 'Doom Clones' again in the vain of Doom Eternal once it comes out and razes hell. The original Half-Life years later took DNA from games like Doom especially, and was what really ended the whole Doom Clone craze and established the first-person shooter name. It was a more realistic and living breathing place and the player started out like any other empty handed npc but scaled a mountain to be the powerful hero by the end. We're supposed to be getting a Half-Life VR game this March and Valve has mentioned they've been itching to get back to the series. So if Doom Eternal is going to be as big as a revolution as say the original Doom was, then when Valve gets around to Half-Life 3, it has to be as big as a revolution as the original Half-Life was to Doom. Valve, take notes. P.S. Daisy better make a full fledged return in Doom Eternal or else I'm going to be pissed.

Its not all about believability, but also the pace of the game. D2016 only had short platforming sections, and most of them were fluid with the gameplay, generally just a few easy jumps over a cliffside and youre back in combat. the only level that strays from this is argent tower, which is one of the worst maps because the platforming really breaks the flow of the game, with jumps you have to time to avoid getting crushed, moving platforms and similar bullshit that just isnt fun in a doom game. every second they make you wait for something there should be a reason that makes it worth it (zoom in on a new enemy to show the model off? yes. Short animation of wrenching a door open? yes. a glory kill here and there? if its for levelling a rune, sure. sharpening your chainsaw on samuels asscheeks while he monologues for a minute?

My thoughts exactly

[@kickster4u]

Yup

[@ViralOutbreak89]

The opinion of the platforming elements being juxtaposed by the rest of the enviroment design is one I share. Like, for example, the "convenient" bars you can swing from being coloured in a neon yellow, which is something a lot of modern games do to scream "this way!" to signify that it can be interacted with... It not only looks gaudy and stands out in a bad way, but also has hints of "we think our audience is too dumb to find this alone." There's also the sore thumb platforming pieces as you mentioned such as the chains and floating stuff; now, I don't find them terrible, but they are very unsubtle, and that's a shame because with bit of work they could be implemented to fit in with the amazing enviroment and world design in a much better and more subtle way.

[@gunpuncher3817]

Subtlety is for the weak.

[@manoflead643]

making it subtle is bad design; looking for the pole you can interact with for 10 minutes is frustrating

[@ViralOutbreak89]

@@manoflead643 I wasn't implying that they had to make the pole hard to find, but instead saying that painting it bright yellow like so many modern games do for progress or interaction moments is unnecessary and detracts from the world design. Also, needing to paint stuff bright colours is in itself a bad design - as it means you aren't making your level design intuitive. As for subtle: that was not in relation to the pole, but in relation to the - as mentioned in the video - out of place (in comparison to the rest of the design) structures for jumping across. The point was, they can make these mesh well with the enviroment and world design if they wanted, but instead opted for "Bowser's Castle" placement.

[@kane01337]

The arcadey feel of the UI & the glowing neon power ups + level switches & weaponry just glowing or floating around the place - in addition to the platforming jump-pad type sections seem to be pushing DOOM into a more arcade / Quake 3 arena feeling game than the more subtle & well integrated dark world feeling of Doom 2016 is my only real concern. While we can change the UI - what G man said about the glowing weapons floating, the platforming sections - that you get to try again if you fail ( iD software first? ) & the super bright GREEN + RED large switches everywhere are giving me concern that they will pull people out of the world more - which is disheartening because there is so much more lore & world-building than 2016 ! Also a little bit unsure about the mention of the 3rd person cutscenes - love lore & depth to story is welcome - but a lot of the beauty in Doom 2016 was how your you stayed within character while the cutscenes happened around you (Half life style). Would love if they just kept weapon pickups on bodies & places within the world that made sense + had purposeful pickup from a body or structure - while perhaps toning down the amount of neon glow + reducing some of the giant green / red glowing trap triggers etc... giving the atmosphere a slightly darker yet more believable feeling. Hopefully platforming is minimal or reduced slightly - and the 3rd person cutscenes happen sparingly... love those 1st person cutscenes in DOOM 2016 while Hayden walks around you !

Agree with all you said, not only that the game speed is reduced by the gameplay mechanics, such as the new type of chainsawing you cannot get all things at once and blast em off with the reflex based combat system, this game is trying to be something new which FPS genre is not built for TBH, the whole POV of DOOM 2016 was the best part of it, the lore and everything just flew through it now this is like kiddo drama if you pair that with the godawful UI it stinks, DOOM 2016 was game of decade for me and I was very excited when they showed Qcon 2018 but with E3 I lost the hope and now I lost it complerely. the game is devoid of any immersion man, you just play it with that stupid shit mission selection like in an RPG game and like in RTS you have to bend to the game's retarded rules while demanding for higher speed and fastness again sandbagging with platforming joke and speed nerf. If you mention any of this on Reddit they will downvote to oblivion. Bunch of little kids want to play this power fantasy bs rather than an immersion and cerebral thrill ride experience. Just look at VEGA narration, lol it feels like forced to tell you everything.

[@gunpuncher3817]

Pffft who cares, DOOM is absurd and silly as fuck to begin with, the original games weren't much different, why change now? Video games are video games, you can have art direction and floating glowing power ups in the same game. I think it's rather charming.

[@CptVein]

@@lostalx ''the game is devoid of any immersion man'' Wtf immerse you so much in the first one? When's the last time you killed a demon? ''you just play it with that stupid shit mission selection like in an RPG'' Not my fucking problem if you prefer a linear ass game like Doom 2016. ''Bunch of little kids'' .....You clearly aren't very old yourself. And if you are over 25.....I am very, very sorry ''cerebral thrill ride experience'' It's fucking Doom. what the literal fuck are you talking about? You shoot demons, it's gory, the 3C are tight, Doom 2016 And now, on top of that, we have more progression, more story, even more mobility, more weapons, Doom Eternal

Realism is overrated I want my games silly, wacky and ridiculous! REALISM IS FOR REAL LIFE and real life is boring

[@NexonPlayerNA]

Yeah, I agree with all the assessments in this video Doom 2016 had an amazing way of building a cohesive game world on the edge of realism; things felt like they belonged there, and everything the Doomslayer did was solely means to an end of stopping the demons, from grabbing the jump boots to the BFG. Even the videogame-esque pinata drops using the chainsaw could be mentally noted as just a HUD representation of argent energy the guy was sucking from demons. It was thematically perfect, art direction, plotwise, you name it. You were just a man on a mission in a dying civilization, grabbing whatever scraps of tech and weaponry you could find along the way. The story and the lore were there if you wanted to read it, but knowing either didn't help you blast the next demon you come across, so they could be discarded and you'd be well in-character. Its story-telling was reminiscent of Dark Souls, where less is more. This new one feels like a different beast, going straight videogame. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but something feels lost in terms of cohesiveness. I guess the best way I could describe it would be this: if the Doomslayer had a choice on how his HUD in Eternal worked, he'd turn all the colors way the fuck down.

I’m overwhelmed by this small summary of your adventure, I’m extremely overhyped for Doom Eternal now. But I love the game cross encounter that’s like Dark Souls.

Pretty impressive tbh. A Doom which is not the first Doom game and actually a new Doom 2 story based game, been decades now. Extremely hyped for this legend.

I will admit, I loved them for the gore, and the ammo refills, but at the same time, I hated them for the momentary stop in the action, and the ammo refills :D Like, it was great that you could gather ammo on the fly through an execution, and gameplay wise it fir, but it made next to no sense seeing bullets and gasoline blow out of a barenaked demon, and it made me miss ammo and weapon pickups. Once I got into it though, it was definitely great for maintaining momentum and keeping you moving forward and your favorite weapons loaded.

Seeing those pre order bonuses and how the new wolfenstein ended up. There's a mighty chance for the stupid microtransactions being there.

[@RipRLeeErmey]

Wolfenstein was made by MachineGames, id only has the license to Wolfenstein. They have no freedom of control over it. With DOOM, id has full control over the title (as they should). Chances are, id will not allow their game to be raped with microtransactions like Wolfenstein Youngblood. Besides Youngblood sucked anyways.
