Jan 23, 2025 · I loved Doom 2016. I very strongly disliked Doom Eternal and never bothered to beat it (despite several attempts to start it). This game has me right back and ready for Day 1. My biggest annoyance with Eternal was that it felt like constant busywork and micromanagement and that I was constantly on a checklist rotation of what to do next in combat.

Jul 23, 2021 · I enjoyed Eternal; not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. I preferred 2016 for the hands off story approach. Doom Eternal leaned too far into cutscenes / beating the player over the head. I also prefer the gameplay loop in 2016. Managing flame belch, chainsaw, glory kills was annoying in big battles.

Jan 23, 2025 · It looks like the crazy acrobatics of Eternal have been left behind, as they say in the direct, 2016 was running and gunning, eternal was jumping and hooking and this is.....standing? Gone is the neon cartoon styling of Eternal in favour of this brown beige mess. Even more exploration and puzzling which is the opposite of what I want to do in Doom.

Apr 11, 2021 · Doom Eternal is a bigger accomplishment as a game. It's an almost unmatched masterclass of FPS design that asks all the right things from the player and offer a lot in return. 2016 is less focused and not as accomplished in terms of mechanics, but it's a extraordinarily fun game that might appeal more for people who thinks Eternal is too demanding.

Jan 24, 2025 · Is there a possibility the reason you haven't heard anything is because a porting studio is currently porting the Switch 2 version, meanwhile ID Work is fully occupied with the PS5 and Xbox version, kinda like Doom Eternal and how Panic button was working on the Switch version, meanwhile ID Work were working on the PS4 and Xbox version?

Mar 24, 2021 · In doom eternal you find out that Urdak/heaven is actually just a place for another race of beings called the Maykrs. They are not gods even though they have massive power. They are just alien creatures dressed in white armor. The lore talks about how they have existed for centuries and possibly the entire universe has been influenced by their ...

Dec 1, 2021 · Eternal has ruined DOOM 2016 for me retroactively and it feels like a bare bones prototype compared to Eternal. I guess that's a good thing as it means the franchise is in a upward trajectory and they addressed everything from the first game and then some, but I can't really recall when a sequel has made the previous game this obsolete for me.

Jul 3, 2021 · Join Alex Battaglia for a deep dive into Doom Eternal's brilliant ray tracing upgrade - see how idTech 7 has evolved for the next generation of hardware, how to optimise the game for the best experience - and see how id Software as adapted its RT implementation for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

Feb 14, 2024 · Doom Eternal is incredible and handles perfectly fine with a gamepad if that's how you're used to playing these kinds of games. Recognizing the concessions made when opting for a gamepad over a kb+m solution, I did not feel that I was particularly handicapped in this situation.

Oct 23, 2020 · I don't get it, because almost every doom game so far has been pretty chill. Like, Doom 1, 2, 64, 2016 were all pretty much just running around with a shotgun blasting demons (unless you chose a higher difficulty). Eternal seems to go in a different direction, which is fine, but even when Doom was new it wasn't considered some hardcore game.
