great video, just wanna mention, the marauder is meant to be the first introduction to quickswitching. the moment you learn how to switch weapons better, he becomes infinitely easier to fight. even on console, just swapping between ssg and ballista is enough to take him out in a couple of cycles. even if you're not at mid range, the moment he shoots out the axe beam thing, he will rush you and do the green eye attack. i know this is from last year, but i just felt this might help someone whos having some trouble.

I found the ammo restrictions really rewarding. Having to balance health, armour and ammo forces you to be careful which demons you kill when and how you do it, and by the time I got to the end of the game I really felt like I’d mastered it and it just felt so good

[@hariman7727]

So completely opposite to the actual flow of all the other Doom games, where you tend to choose a weapon and stick with it until you're low on ammo and you just shoot things until everything is dead.

[@hailbane9633]

@@hariman7727 False. Doom series always had resource management. The difference in the new games is that you can gain resources from killing enemies. In the old games it was purely based on replenishing resources from exploration and secrets. While the ammo cap is much larger in the old games it doesn't really mean much when the pickup locations are quite scarce around the levels. Guns also did way less damage, you fought more enemies per level and enemies were much tanker. I was regularly low on ammo in many moments using whatever I had to kill enemies playing Doom 2 on Ultra-violence.

[@hariman7727]

@@hailbane9633 even with that being true, that changes the entire dynamic of the game and Doom 2 locks you into the shoot chainsaw shoot chainsaw cycle instead of letting people find their own pace. It's the difference between devil May Cry games and final fantasy X in combat. Devil May Cry games give you a bunch of cool moves and you can string them together as you want. Final fantasy X you're locked into swap again specific party members because they are the only one that can handle certain enemies.

[@banes4908]

@@hariman7727 Yea and Call of Duty forces you to shoot, move, reload and hide behind cover. How is this even an argument? Every video game on earth locks you into its core fundamental mechanics in order to beat it. In Doom 1 and Doom 2 you are forced to move, shoot and explore for resources to replenish them. Eternal literally just inherits the previous games loop of gaining resources from the enemy & playing aggressively and expands on it. You didn't seem to have issues with shoot glory kill for health shoot loop in the previous game. Eternal literally plays like Devil May Cry fps and was an inspiration for the combat according to Hugo Martin. You are given bunch of weapons and tools and you figure out interesting combos. Both games on harder difficulties require mastery to beat it.

16:33 that's... the point of the game. You're supposed to be switching weapons instead of relying on the SSG all the time. That's how weapon combos work. 16:56 that's why you have the chainsaw, and that refuels every 10 seconds 17:29 you wouldn't see that if you implemented the chainsaw into your gameplay to resupply ammo. The chainsaw isn't there so you can blow through all your ammo and restock. You use it at around half ammo to keep the gameplay going, and you'll never run out of ammo 17:55 you should be swapping weapons for LESS than every 5 seconds. It's in the loading screen tutorials that it's a part of the combat loop. And you SHOULD be using the chainsaw every minute or so because that's it's purpose.

They already have reason to switch weapons baked into the game in the fact that different enemies are weak to different weapons.

I'd rather choose to switch weapons regularly due to tactical decision making than because I have low ammo so frequently.

I mean he is ofc you but as a demon. I mean imagine how the demons feel after getting shotgun blasted, killed in long range the marauder is supposed to be an equal but in the end you'll come up top

[@ghostalpha2886]

The Marauder's good but they could have at least made him less of an annoyance either by removing the shield or the Hell wolves he spawns in. Shield Marauder = Tactical gameplay Hell Wolf Marauder = Keeps you moving and on the defensive to avoid being attacked by the Hell Wolf Current Marauder = Just a pure annoyance.

[@cookiebaker2660]

@@ghostalpha2886 don't shoot the shield and don't kite him into enemies that can shoot his shield. No puppies will spawn. Another big brain move you can allow yourself - shoot the dog.

Its not annoying, its just that unlike the rest of the enemies, he has enough brains to not run at you without any defense. Get good, alpha lmao

I actually disagreed with a lot of his statements. The first one was about how he said, "forgettable, characters are forgettable, dialogue is forgettable and the plot is forgettable". In my "opinion" Bethesda made a memorable story on how the Doomslayer is fighting through the forces of hell to stop the Priests and the Khan Maykr from destroying Earth. Also, the betrayer is not forgettable he's a badass with a cool big hammer.

The story isn't neccesarily meant to be memorable and/or thrilling, it's just there to string the action sequences together. And that's not a bad thing, the gameplay is where the Doom games have always shone the brightest.

I’m gonna be honest man of acting, this is my first time I’ve disagreed with you. 1: Personally I feel the marauder enforces speed and staying on the move more than anything. Getting quick chainsaws and glory kills after stunning him. Keeping distance with dodges. Quickly taking advantage of his attacks. Not shooting his shield so the dog won’t come out. It’s like a quick dance. 2: The parts you called cringey I found SICK. The part where the DoomSlayer talks felt awesome because it not only connected him to the universe but just was a huge revelation and he just sounded sick. 3: The lack of ammo really in my opinion made you better at the game. It was way more fun to be constantly switching between guns, something that most players didn’t do in 2016. 4: The story was great. I’m not even a hardcore fan. In fact I’ve only played 2016 and Eternal. I loved the characters. The betrayer showing up was great. Especially because it really starts off the DoomSlayer’s origin by shutting a theory down. The Khan Makyr was a fun villain, design wise and character wise. Does she have a lot of depth, no, but she did enough in my opinion. In general i might’ve disagreed with you but I watched the whole thing because I love your videos and your personality. I also agreed with you gameplay wise as well.

[@emerson-biggons7078]

I changed my skin a lot, but for the most part, especially in the end game, I found myself rocking the 2016 Praetor suit, because that one's my favorite. I really enjoyed the final boss. I thought it was really satisfying to see his armor then body fall apart over time. My only complaint about the final boss was that it felt a little too long, but maybe that's just my fault.

[@Snavels]

The story is actually pretty interesting when you read into it. It may seem forgettable but trust me, the story *enhances* the experience. Like seriously, it even makes the music in the game even better. For example, the track "Gladiator Boss." It sounds cool on it's own, right? Well, after reading into the story you will come to find out that the chants are of fallen sentinel soldiers, your former brethren, cheering you on telling you to kill everything in sight. The Slayer, having chosen to stay in hell in Doom 64, finds his way to sentinel prime. When he arrives, he is a 'worn warrior'. Him yelling about the demons isn't bad writing, it's the ravings of a man who's almost gone mad from all the fighting. When Doomguy was first brought into the Gladiator arena to prove himself to be worthy to join the Sentinel army, he would beat the shit out of everyone participating while yelling "Rip and Tear." The sentinels (who spoke their own language) had no idea what he was saying, but the few who did speak English (like the priests and some guards) translated it to their language as "Kar En Tuk" and that became their battle cry. This makes the part when you arrive on sentinel prime even cooler when all of the Soldiers greet you with a resounding "RIP AND TEAR!" this is only a portion of the cool story writing. (Another example being how Samuel Hayden is most likely the Seraphim) The story only seems forgettable because you actually have to look for the story to really get it, the campaign only shows you the bare bones of what's happening.

Overexplaining shit tends to ruin the fun.

I think the problem some people have with it is a lot of the detail is in the codex pages. As someone who only played 2016, I understand mostly what has happened to Doomguy from 1-Eternal now just from those codexes. Yeah show don't tell is usually better, but it's already a 20 hour campaign on average and adding in more cutscenes to show all of the codex pages probably would've bumped it up way higher. For what it is, it's perfect. Not forgettable. The reveal that the Doom Slayer is Doomguy was the point in the game where I decided the story was great. In fact, Sentinel Prime in general became my favourite just for the quiet walk of collecting pages, explaining a lot of backstory before a top-tier boss battle.

P.S, it is also sometimes better to leave things for the player to imagine with written stories, than show them it flat out. The Human imagination often produces a lot more fun and wild things from just words than a lot of people can visually create.

Yeah those parts were cool but everything else just felt like wasted potential. I think the best example Act Man pointed out was how Samuel Hayden was just now a background noise instead of the anti-villain he was at the end of DOOM 2016, so utterly wasted.

Also it explains that doom guy goes through all of doom 1 2 and 64 then during 64 gets slipgated and was utterly driven insane, worked with argent dnur who helped temper his hate and bring him more control in life after losing so much that he literally has the foot of his deceased rabbit daisy not for luck but for literally the loss of innocence in his life no sexual puns please. Also how through this he unknowingly caused the very paradigm of heaven and hell to literally form around the way of the use of man's soul to avoid the effects of transmogrification in the makyr kahn which is essentially alzheimers for angels, though they are false gods and thus doomguy killing kahn makyr and re establishing vega in urdak is insanely important as samuel hayden basically pulled a massive game of celestial hang man's gambit bye betraying them to save mankind but nobody is talking about that shit. Dude is literally a makyr faking being a human who stuck his brain in a robot to dodge horrific brain cancer in the toxic after math of the uac also Slipgates are now cannon in doom. If you have no clue how scary that shit is, look up Ranger's story in quake champions, dude killed an eldergod and went fucking nuts tossing the dire orb around making him even fucking crazier.

The story's actually pretty good. Doom Guy isn't a fallen angel. He's a mortal man, who had not one, but TWO different lives, both of which were then taken away by demon kind. He used to be a normal human, but then demons killed his rabbit, and he had to remain in hell and fight them to keep humanity safe. Then, once he was beaten and finally defeated, the night sentinels found him and made him one of them. He finally, after all that fighting had a family, a PEOPLE again. Then, once again, it was all taken away by demons. He is a man fueled by rage, who wants to avenge his people. Not just the humans and rabbit he lost before, but the night sentinels he fought alongside with for decades. And for Samuel Hayden. It is made QUITE clear that Samuel isn't what he says he is, but rather, that he is the Seraphim, the being that gave Doom Guy the power he needed to become the Doom Slayer. He is also the person who stole the essence of the Father, who is this worlds God and without whom, the Khan Maykr remained in power, letting her apparent "hubris", be the downfall of Argent D'nur. This implies that rather than just being a robot scientist, Samuel is a higher being that managed to pull the strings in order to destroy heaven. I like the story for both the lore and world-building. You didn't need to know what happened in earlier Doom games, mainly because those games didn't even have that much of a story. This game, as well as Doom 2016, added so much to the Doom franchise. But the best part is that it is purely optional. The cutscenes provide all you need for the immediate, leaving everything else, which currently doesn't matter for those that actually care. It manages to provide just as much story as other games, with 4k three hour cutscenes, with barely any cutscenes, and with storytelling that doesn't interfere with the gameplay. Also, the Marauder. The Marauder is NOT as bad as people think. The only problem is that they give you false information and leave things out in the introduction. The Marauder's dog only spawns when you or an enemy shoot the shield. You don't have to remain in its range and are even rewarded for keeping distance, as his projectiles move slowly and can be dodged when at long ranges, and because he is far more likely to perform his sprint attack when you are far away. The best way to deal with the marauder is also how you should play anyway. Stay on the move, dodge attacks, keep your distance from certain enemies (the marauder) and switch weapons for max damage once you stun him (Super Shotty > Ballista > Rocket Launcher works pretty well). But most importantly, don't panic. Many a time when people struggle with the fight, its because they panic and forget that they have a damn dodge which they can use to get out and into his range. If YOU'RE the one playing like a dumbass, failing to dodge his projectiles, getting right up in his grill, shooting a rocket at him at melee range dealing splash damage to yourself and dumping all of your precious ammo into his shield doing no damage and summoning his dog, you have no right to be mad at the developers that they made an enemy that requires some goddamn skill.

[@BIackingOut]

Nicholas Marashio Nicholas Marashio That’s the point of super heavy demons. Ignore them and the fight is going to be a pain in the ass. Only time I remember the Marauder being spawned when there’s a ”million other demons” is when playing the arc master level. In the normal story you’ll never find a marauder spawned together with another super heavy or even a big amount of regular heavies

[@BIackingOut]

I also found the story to be good as well. While it is arguable the story was delivered better in 2016, I never felt like there wasn't enough story in Doom Eternal. Much like the last game, it felt like just enough to make the universe look that much more grand while you're busy adding to your body count. And the codex entries on the Sentinels revealed far more than I expected, especially on the mutha-effin' Doomguy! That revelation made him even more of a badass, which made me smile in 'rip and tear'. Also, really Act Man? No memorable lines? "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars."
