I’m one of those people who sadly thought Doom Eternal was a step back from Doom 2016. It tried to cram in way too many new mechanics that left it feeling bloated and confusing when all we really want from a Doom game is to rip & tear. I get that some people enjoy having to think about every single move they make, should they use a glory kill, the blood punch, the freeze thing, the fire thing, the grappling hook yada yada yada, when all I wanted to do was shoot monsters in the face with a shotgun. When I’ve been working hard all day I want to come home and switch OFF my brain, not ON; Is that too much to ask??

[@hydroshock1853]

The thing is, Doom Eternal does not force these things entirely. The mechanics added here are just helpful tools for more effective gameplay, but it's still fairly flexible. Especially on lower difficulties, so if you want to switch your brain OFF after work, the solution is to lower the difficulty, not just dumb it down for everyone. Quick-swapping and weak-points do not have to be followed religiously. Maybe they do become more important on Nightmare or Ultra-Nightmare, but as long as you don't use the same 1 or 2 weapons and manage resources (especially with an almost infinite chainsaw), then you're good. I'm not trying to get you to like this game more than Doom 2016, that game is awesome without a doubt, but I'm just saying that once you get Eternal's groove, it doesn't require as much thinking as you believe.

[@dewmdoomie1730]

Personally, I would disagree about the fog sections from the blood swamps since it encourages you to be more careful about your surroundings and maybe it is only just me, but I didn't really even find it to be difficult either since you could see enemy shields and projectiles flashing which gives away their position. I thought that it was a cool idea that there's a fog that's messing with your view with only either projectiles as source of visibility or by closing the distance because it forces you to adapt for the current situation. I am not saying that it should be a common thing however, I believe that it can be done at least once in two levels or something because Slayer forbid that there would also be a buff totem nearby while this is happening which is where I could see your point. I totally agree about the encounter on the holt before the final boss though, Its really a pain in the ass especially if your own mouse has the double-click curse at the right mouse button making the spirits even more of a pain in the dong to kill before they possess the doom hunter and annihilate your soul. Just my opinion though, thanks for reading anyways if anyone even reads this.

Thank you for your honesty. As someone who beat Eternal on "I'm too young to die", this isn't going to be for me 😅

i have a tip. take this from a nightmare player. try playing something like hurt me plenty. trust me its a whole lot more fun on higher difficulties and yeah when you switch difficulties you ARE going to die alot. that's just part of any game and getting better. except DOOM is built around helping you get better and master the combat. i started on hurt me plenty and i had alot of fun and then i switched to ultra violence. i died ALOT on ultra violence. untill i started really practicing and soon i wasnt dying much at all on ultra violence. so i jumped to nightmare and i died alot and got better really fast. it made me better at alot of other games too. i now have beaten the game on nightmare twice and the dlc on nightmare. i beat all the master levels on nightmare and playing doom eternal is the most fun thing ever for me. i did this all in only 3 WEEKS and 86 hours of play. never underestimate yourself and always try to get better. good luck man! 💜

Possessed demons dont actually have double health nor do they deal extra damage. The main difference is that they are faster and have specifc resistances to certain weapons (mainly ballista lol)

[@fruitylerlups530]

Most of yhe resistances are at least 34%. The rule of thumb is really just use rocket launcher and chaingun lol

[@basicallyimblind6721]

I literally don't understand complaining about the platforming. At worst it gets you from place to place, and at best it's kind of fun to jump through certain levels. I'd rather have platforming than a bunch of boring hallways.

[@austinskywalker92]

Yeah this DLC was brutal, like times 10 or so. A lot of things caught me off guard and that ending, my God, that ending. I won't say anything but when you put the pieces together and realize that it all makes sense, it makes it all the more mind blowing. Now we wait for part two, calmly, recovering, till the time comes once more......TO RIP AND TEAR!!!

[@Gum_Cuzzler]

That encounter with the possessed Tyrants kicked my ass the first time I played through it on UN. On my nightmare run I beat it the first time through. You just gotta use the pillars as cover to take out the non possessed tyrant and the fodder, and save your blood punches so you can delete the Doom Hunter when he shows up. This DLC felt a lot better after playing through the base campaign; jumping into it cold after not playing DE for a few months was not a pleasant or fun experience imo.

"Just the idea of a buffed, possessed Marauder is enough to leave me in a cold sweat." Funny, id recently updated the Slayer Gate in The Holt, and it contains one of those. After you've faced three Archviles, three Blood Maykrs, two Doom Hunters, two Dread Knights (one of which is sometimes empowered), and then the possessed Marauder....after which is another standard Marauder. I made the mistake of not having my plasma rifle set to microwave, so when I killed the possessed Marauder, I missed the ghost and it jumped into the newly spawned standard Marauder. That was rough going.

The Ancient Gods makes Doom Eternal look like Doom 3 in terms of pacing.

Nice Terminatior reference, not to mention wow bladestorm skill. I love your videos man. And I played first doom I when I was a little kid in 1993. Now I play doom again and it is like a nightmare come true.

@cool cool that’s why it’s nominated for game of the year and one of the highest rated games of the year. Sit down. It’s a great game and DLC.

[@emberelemental6816]

@cool cool id software isn't abandoning "true hardcore fans" by taking a less grounded art direction. Yes, it's cartoony, but so is Doom 1 and especially 2. Both classics have bright ass colors and cheesy demon designs. Sequels don't have to be directly like their predecessors. Both 2016 and Eternal are great games in their own respect, but I don't think it's fair to come out and say Eternal is mediocre simply because they double down on the violent-slapstick and cheesiness of the classics. I get it, I prefer 2016's atmosphere too, but atmosphere alone shouldn't be enough to ruin the game for you. Does it impact gameplay, the most important aspect of any videogame? No it doesn't.

[@emberelemental6816]

@cool cool Well death animations were cut to save on resources but I get it, not a huge fan of the goofy tone either. 2016 was definitely more brutal. Developers overused the Doomblade in Eternal’s glory kills, which I guess led it to feel less, violent? Lot more slicing, less ripping and tearing. Even so, the game is still pretty gory. The recent update that came with the DLC also increased the amount of blood decals on demons. They get covered in the stuff now. Truly I think it was the grittiness of 2016 that made it feel more 'mature'. There's still a tone of slapstick in that game. Even small details like a Cacodemon laughing at you if they get a hit on ya'. But while 2016 did atmosphere, tone and storytelling better, I think Eternal massively improved upon its gameplay, and for me, that’s what matters most.

[@emberelemental6816]

@Nimrod Falcon The classics were deliberately cheesy. Just reread some of the in-text exposition segments. You can’t tell me that’s supposed to be taken seriously. Sure, the original intention was action horror (as said by Carmack), and many people did find it scary at the time, but that doesn’t mean the game was meant to be taken seriously. Com’on, (originally) the main reason you destroy the forces of Hell is because they killed your pet rabbit. If that isn’t cheesy to you, then I don’t know what is. Look, there’s just so many small details to list that show the Developers never intended these games to be taken with a grounded tone. The giddy grin Doomguy gets when he picks up a new weapon, the small text popups that happen when you go to exit the game, the fact that some demons even have anuses on their sprites (a real wtf moment there) ect. If you don’t believe me, just go watch some interviews featuring John Romero.

[@ASLB247]

17:20 - 17:37 You think that's crushing?...It is, but it's nothing compared to what was in the update. I'm guessing because people complained the Holt slayer gate was too easy, they decided to stealth update it to include 3 Archviles, 3 Blood Maykrs, and a possessed marauder with a shit load of carcasses...I pray for anyone and everyone who has to beat that slayer gate on ultra nightmare now.

[@Mazaroth]

I really love the doom eternal and the dlc, i played the basegame first on UV and then nightmare and holy shit did i get my ass beat in the DLC with nightmare, eventually soldiering through it, i enjoyed every bit of it, i feel like a giant asshole douche for saying this but DOOM Eternal and the DLC's are the dark souls of FPS, dialed to 11.

[@mrmhj9925]

Good review but I don’t agree with your opinion on the level design. I think that’s more of your own personal opinion. To me, I think the game is tryna make you adapt to new gameplay because the gameplay changes when the environments change, as you know. But fair enough.

[@sebs-shenanigans]

Anyone else here because the second episode is out and you are waiting for this lad to post it?

While being wellcrafted we should be worried about the escalation of system game design bloat in DOOM.

The turrets aren't an enemy edition. The turrets exist to warm up your ability to hit small targets. Thats requried in this DLC in a way it wasn't in the base game. In the base game very rarely is it worth hitting weakpoints apart from the early game. But in DLC there are a lot of arenas where some enemies you absolute have to disable.

In that foggy area in Blood Swamps, you can actually meathook on top of that fog and shoot from there. Also, turrets can be destroyed in 1 hit if you shot a sticky bomb or a rocket and then time your PB right when the explosions happens, or just use destoryed blade

It's really interesting to see each person's different experience. Love your videos and dropped you a like, but I would hesitate to say a part is hard because you had trouble with it. For example I had it backwards from you. I thought the possessed tyrant part at the end was cake; I barely remembered it. But I died more times in the boss fight than in the entire DLC. We definitely had the same experience with the possessed arachie in the fog though... 🤮
