Doom Eternal In 2023 Is EVEN BETTER Than I Remember

Doom Eternal was my game of the year of 2020, but I haven't played it since, and so, it's time to finally return to Doom Eternal and play The Ancient Gods Part 1 and 2 for the first time!

DOOM ETERNAL is without a doubt one of the greatest FPS games ever made. That is all.

[@littlebigman66]

Superb game. Mick killed it on the soundtrack. Check out Periphery if you haven't Luc. The drummer played with the creator of this soundtrack.

[@FootOfOrion]

Monuments’ latest album was produced by Mick. Periphery and Monuments are two of my favorite bands. Absolutely genius music.

[@kuddlykraken2157]

The soundtrack for the Ancient Gods was not composed by Mick Gordon this time around, but by David Levy and Andrew Hulshult.

[@walterblanco5046]

If you guys liked the soundtrack.... You should check out Dusk, Andrew composed the music for that game, and i love it👍👍👍

[@wadewade3790]

Doom Eternal is a game that I will only ever take breaks from but never be done with entirely.

[@fojisan2398]

Same. Over 725 hours later and I still love thia game to bloody death.

[@JovanTheTrainer]

I am a huge Halo fan since 2001 and recently played through every doom game and all I can say is Doom Eternal for me blows away Halo Infinite. It seems like they had so much fun making it and how much they put into the lore out of love for the fans and respect for the franchise. I am now a massive Doom fan. Current Halo should take some notes on how to make a video game from Doom

[@Thomas-ih4ei]

Dont we all agree and remember when we first found out about Infinite's 'Database' section in the campaign in-game menu, that we thought it could exactly be like Doom 2016 & Eternal's lore? And with the marketing talking about being newcomer friendly, it would so easily be a good introduction to previous games' stories, like the optional terminal in the Dawn in H4's first mission, and perfect to make a summary of much of the EU lore! Even, somewhat easier? as it's already written? It was such a shame.

[@JovanTheTrainer]

@@Thomas-ih4ei I agree man. Its not that the campaign was horrible or anything like that but the way the studio advertised it as sort of a retelling and a fresh start only for it to feel like it was just lacking heart and any risks being taken is so dissapointing. I really wish we could have played the mission in which the Infinity is lost. I wish Lasky, The Arbiter, Blue team, Red team and The Spirit Of Fire and Osiris were in the game. Why did this story seem like its only 25 percent done? Where are the diverce environments that we had even 20 years ago? Where was the sense of mystery and wonder we know from halo so well? Where was the large scale battles we love ? Why was a new enemy already brought in when we kinda just met the banished? So many bad choices by the writers that left me scratching my head. The gameplay is fun and I love the art style but I also really miss the M rating. I miss the eerie environments and the human interactions we had with the marines (now they seem like cardboard cutouts) and I miss the emotions halo brought me. I dont think the flood need to be brought back to make a great halo game because to me, it would undercut the finale of halo 3. I would however like the writers to move on and take halo somewhere else. Maybe a Contact Harvest game, or an ODST 2 following the events of the ODST comics. Flood horror game even, Or maybe an anthology halo game where you play in different major halo conflicts over the course of the entire lore as differnt spartans, marines, ODSTs, elites, forerunners or even Sgt Johnson or something. I dont know, at this point im just rambling and dreaming. Just wish halo was in a different place. The company seems like it only cares about making money and to me halo lost its soul.

[@treesapien5762]

I was hoping they would. Doom Eternal left such a huge impact, but nobody is taking notes.

[@JovanTheTrainer]

@@Talons97 I think it would be killer! But just don't want it in the exact format of Doom

[@MondySpartan]

DOOM Eternal is an amazing game indeed.

[@Installation00]

Nice! Love me a bit of Doom! Funny enough I did a Most Detailed Breakdown on the Praetor Suit over on my second channel. The Lore that is emerging for Doom is beyond cool! Also, thanks for the shout out bud! Much Love!

[@thorshammer7883]

Awesome you are covering other shootings like Doom now since Halo topics have pretty bad shortages now. Titanfall 2 would also be a good idea to cover. It's gameplay and level design is very cool and I love the Titans and gadgets and how multiplayer matches are like with the option of modes available. The weapons also felt awesome to use. Titanfall 2 is extremely underrated.

[@rusty_77]

I've been playing Eternal a lot in the past year or so. Progressing from Hurt Me Plenty to Nightmare difficulty has been a fun journey. Ditching the weapon wheel and having to remap each gun to a specific key was hard, but it makes it so much easier from weapon combos. I'm not ready to attempt any Ultra-Nightmare runs yet, but maybe in the future.

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

I like to imagine a cutscene where a rescue team/explorers/or just some group of people come upon the Igmore's Sanctum with curious intent, pondering what this alien foreboding structure is, and how out of place it looked in comparison to the rest of the blood swaps. As they near the slayer's final resting place, they see the remains of several creatures. The decaying corpses of strange divine beings dressed in crimson robes, tattered and ripped to shreds. As they wearily pass by these things, they near a strange sarcophagus covered in runes, resting alone in the middle of the entire alien structure... Only upon closer inspection, too their amazement they discover the lid had been removed and thrown aside. They cautiously approach, uncertain of what they will find. They then peer into the strange sarcophagus, only to find it was empty of all contents.

[@harrisondoe6968]

Doom eternal and 2016 is what I’ve been coping with as Halo fails

[@papayer]

I will never stop loving this game. The JOY taken from launching yourself around with the meathook at insane speeds is just, eugh, IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD.

[@m0urn1ng5tar5]

6 minutes ago? Holy shit I caught this one early. Easily one of the best FPS games to come out in the last 10 years.

[@InnuendoXP]

Personally this makes me wish Halo under 343i in looking to 'evolve' went more the Doom / Metroid Prime route than trying alternately to be more like CoD or Farcry. Silent Cartographer is even kinda like a baby Metroid Prime or Doom level. You have the Island overworld, which has dynamic encounters that pop up as you progress through the mission objectives, and caves/tunnels to delve into, gain access to, with alternative routes & open geometry available, and plenty of verticality in the gameplay.

[@sonaciel3403]

As a hardcore doom player I find it interesting that you found atlánticas encounters so long, the first time you play it it does feel that way, after that you will notice that atlantica and blood swamps are the 2 best levels on the game

[@typezero_archange1593]

Can I just say something: I think this is the Spiritual Rebirth of Doom. Yes a Rebirth, because with the death of davoth, the slayer lost his power... That basically means, back to square one. Maybe not anymore fighting demons, but a new enemies that will put the slayer into his paces. A new mountain to climb basically

[@mythhead2688]

The theory is the ending of Eternal is a tie in to a new Quake reboot since the Maykrs are turning into Cthulhu-Like creatures

[@SerathDarklands]

I love your videos, Luc. You have this infectious upbeat energy, it's impossible not to get hyped when you start talking. It's always a good day when a new HiddenXperia video shows up in my notifications.

[@bendobson3591]

Doom eternal is my favourite of the doom games

[@VNM-Venom252]

Eternal probably has to be one of the best games of this modern generation. Srsly I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to slice up, shoot or blow up demons.

[@sgtcoffman]

I actually liked Doom 2016 more, personally. I know I'm in the minority, but there were a lot of things with Eternal that just didn't quite sit well with me.

[@goldheartodyssey4486]

@@sgtcoffman Agreed.

[@BL-mf3jp]

@@sgtcoffman I liked the enemy variety better in Eternal, but the music, story, art direction and scary feel were better in 2016.

[@CluntEstwode]

A thing about the Microwave beam is that it becomes a much more useful and more commonly utilised tool for higher skilled players. The microwave beam is the only thing that will stun a possessed demon, meaning you can give yourself a little breathing room, but this of course means you run the risk of running out of plasma ammo before you can zap the spirit. What this opens you up to is using the animation lock the microwave beam causes to give it a quick squirt and back off when its still stunlocked whilst saving ammo. Knowing this stun-lock animation opens you up to using it on larger, un-posessed demons as another form of "faltering", but also as the only way to check demon health in the game, as the meter on the crosshair is practically a healthbar, indicating the remaining charge before the demon explodes. Its also vastly more effective on anything using shields too, as a little bonus

[@abmaples]

bro i love just watching your channel grow so much over the years

[@tyskyis4020]

This video was amazing😭 how was this only just now recommended to me? This deserves so much more love

[@nobooli4334]

Ancient gods part 1’s longer and more substancial arenas are likely influenced by the weapon tech used to very quickly delete enemies becoming common at the time. 2016’s weapons had a quirk of being able to bypass the cycle animation on any weapon by switching to another, so players were able to chain semi auto weapons in a combo, like combat shotgun explosive > rocket launcher > super shotgun > gauss cannon/ballista in only a second or two. It seems they actually attempted to keep this in eternal but balance full auto weapons better by making them swap faster then semi autos, however players discovered the precision bolt mod on heavy cannon allowed an instant transition to another semi auto weapon. This also could definitely be responsible for the enemy designs of the dlcs like spirits taking very high amounts of damage as well as forcing the use of an underused weapon mod, same with stone imps and armored baron. You can even do this in doom 2016 and eternal’s multiplayer, basically making this system kinda like doom’s version of halo 2 button combos. Just thought this might be interesting, nice video m8

[@iltmusic3231]

I honesty had no idea you made a doom video. If you hadn’t mentioned it in your latest video, I would have missed this entirely. Glad I’m finally getting a chance to watch it!

[@monkey4386]

legit my favourite game since it released, along with its dlc. i havent played a game thats feels so amazing since. i still crave a little more of eternal every now and then.

[@distantsea]

It's a pretty cool idea with the life Spheres. Now the Father can't be killed, because his only tie to the physical world was destroyed and he can't be given form anymore, but he still has influence over the world. It's not just reviving the Dark Lord and gambling on being able to kill him. It's ensuring that no one can do the same to the Father

[@epicdude3659]

4:42 are we just gonna ignore how thicc the Icon Of Sin is in the background there?

[@DJ88Masterchief]

You should do a short video on Metal Hellsinger. It’s just as fun as Doom.

[@PsychoMoFoGaming]

id love to see you dive into the lore

[@treesapien5762]

I'm so happy to see you play my favorite game of 2020

[@GrimNought]

U should play the game Ultrakill. Granted its still in early access. But i promise u, u wont regret it!

[@brennangulka9793]

I’d suggest reading the lore of these games. It fleshes out how the father lied to the slayer about who the actual creator was, the fall of argent dnur and how the slayer ties in with the old 90s doom games

[@TheOyeah55]

That scene when the gate opens is really crazy and cinematic

[@DanielQuan97]

The first objective in Doom 2016: "Wake up" The last objective in Doom Eternal: "Kill God"

[@fojisan2398]

Final Objective in Eternal: Go back to sleep

[@dropkickpherby6994]

Loved the vid, but as for where DOOM is headed next, I think the sidelines is accurate. Quake may be next for a reboot and with what they've achieved with Eternal, I think that'd be so *sick*

[@fojisan2398]

And if they are gonna reboot Quake, I hope to god they don't make another multiplayer title. Don't get me erong, Quake DM is iconic, but it had little staying power. Meanwhile people are still making maps for Quake 1.

@nathanB404 I’m willing to try it. Doom 2016 was kind of boring for me because of some of the weapons and not as cool cutscenes

[@leonardomafrareina7634]

I prefer the OG, classic Doom story and design... But I must admit, the new Doom games were fire, they were gold, masterpieces, so much so that I was really pissed it wasn't 2020's GOTY.

[@scottholmes6080]

I know a lot of people might disagree, but I actually liked doom 2016 gameplay more than eternal. That's not to say I don't love eternal, or that there aren't any additions I liked with eternal, but idk, it almost felt like there was too much to keep track off and manage to be able to just go ham with pure skill instead of a mix of skill and micromanaging ammo, equipment, dashes, what enemies require certain weapons, etc. I guess really what it is is that playing on nightmare in eternal felt much more sweaty than it did in doom 2016 lol

As someone who has been a Halo fan longer than a Doom fan. I can still confidently say that Doom Eternal is better than every Halo game gameplay wise. Ive replayed Eternals campaign probably well over a hundred times at this point.

[@aaronrobledo8262]

I see where you're coming from, because doom has a very rich game play while halo is more based on story and cinematics in a way. Both are great tho 👍 and it depends on what you find that brings you back to the game

[@tyguy3876]

Do you like 2016 or Eternal better?

[@sandman8993]

Wow! Absolutely no way! I completely disagree. I haven’t even finished it I dislike it that much. I much prefer 2016

[@deag4113]

[@eliaxxz5360]

No. They are simply too different to even get a comparison. Even less saying "better than every Halo game gameplaywise"

[@FACF0416]

The Horde Mode and the Master Levels are worth playing FOREVER. I never get enough of them.

[@Leitis_Fella]

I love how underused weapons has their own niche if you figured them out. Microwave beam stun lock quick switch OP

[@tyrantz1424]

The Hammer indeed is much more fun than the regular Crucible some times when you just want to feel OP, but then it falls apart when you realize you cal fully recharge it just by either destroying weak points or glory killing twice. IMHO It would've been better if it wasn't that easy to be able to control the entire arena

[@withwillin]

The theory (I believe the most) as to what happened in the end of TAG2, was that the divinity machine had part of Davoths power in it so when Doom Guy got the powers he effectively had part of Davoth inside of him. Because of this, he became a demigod. He became The Doom Slayer. So, when Davoth died, the part of him that was in The Doom Slayer died too, which caused him to go unconscious. He then later wakes up being placed into his Tomb (not his coffin) by the Seraphims, until humanity finally needs him again.

[@sdgamer1860]

beat the game on ultra violence but, not nightmare (i'm sure i will die even more in that). I will say once you get everything down you are just a death machine in this game and IT FEELS SO GOOD

[@waitwhat9939]

I think the dark lord/davoth duel was cool, but it could've been cooler if the arena(s) were surrounded by spectators or something. It wouldn't make the most sense but neither does the battlefield changing multiple times. The first room could be all demons, and the others could have humans or sentinels, or some combination of factions.

I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy Doom Eternal that much, I much preferred Doom 2016. probably because of the Snap Map feature that was basically just an improved Halo Forge mode. though i will admit the lore given to us from Doom Eternal is my second favourite thing about that game, main favourite thing was blasting a hole in Mars.
