Bethesda Doom Eternal

[BrollySupersj]

I just got to the first Marauder...and that's me done with this game. That is without a doubt the most poorly balanced sadistic ill conceived encounter I've experienced in a long time. And the "tutorial" video is a ****ing joke. Tells me to keep him at midrange and shows me a video of a one on one fight with the marauder in an empty room then proceeds to spawn multiple enemies and a ****ing hellhound to mob me and it repeatedly obscures a chunk of the screen with a stupid bite animation. I was going to keep at it, but I checked reddit and these marauders appear multiple times in each successive level. **** that.

Marvolo, chill. There is a sure fire way to beat him. Super shotgun and ballista. Wait for the green flash, hit em with the shotgun, then quick swap to the ballista for a second hit. It won't take long I promise you. Be aware of the other demons, move around, and you will prevail. I swear it works, I SWEAR IT! I already got my platinum trophy too. The Marauder is ****ing annoying yes, but not unstoppable. You can do this.

This is the kind of motivation/advice I need when stuck on a game. Good work sir

 

[Zorro]

That's pretty much what I did and if I can get through it, anybody can!

I always like the head canon of master chief referring to Doomguy as his ancestor of some sort. Always reverential to him

 

[Iceman]

How are sales doing for this? I hope we are in for many more.

 

[Silvermoth]

No idea but they seem very happy

Awesome, thanks.

 

[Zorro]

That's great. They deserve amazing sales on all platforms

 

[Silvermoth]

I agree! I wonder when they’ll announce the dlc for it? I’m gagging for more.

are there any skins you wish they would include?

 

[Gee]

DOOM Eternal’s officially released soundtrack is a poorly mixed mess that composer Mick Gordon barely had a hand in - Critical Hit

 

[Silvermoth]

I’ve heard he’s a bit cranky. As in considering not coming back for the next one sort of cranky. I hope he does. I can’t imagine new doom without his music

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, I hope so. Did the previous game get many DLCs?

 

[Zorro]

Not that I remember

 

[Silvermoth]

No I can’t remember either. But I did see eternal had a season pass so obviously they’re planning something

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

All the previous game's dlc was for the multiplayer that no one played. They did say they were focusing on single player content this time around.

 

[Zorro]

I like to think I'm someone and I played 2016's multiplayer. Always found players in match making as well.

I've played Battle Mode less than I ever did Death Matches

 

[The Infernal]

Yeah. Battlemode is pretty meh. Not a great feature at all and such an uneven concept. Not to mention all the loading screens.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

I played beta of Doom 2016s multiplayer which was so mediocre I almost didn't bother with the game at all and I know I'm not the only one who felt that way because that's the scenario they're trying to avoid this time around. All of their post launch monetization revolved a multiplayer that hurt the game in the long run. I like that they tried something different with the multiplayer this time around, but I have yet to even play a single match in Doom Eternal. That's how little I honestly care about multiplayer in this franchise. I think it's the smarter move financially to cater to me this time around.

Doom is a single player game. Why would I want to play against other players in a single player game? Not everything has to be multiplayer.

Good. It seems the single player is much stronger than the multiplayer for this game so I'm glad they're doing that.

I don't mind if a franchise known for its single player story gets a multiplayer mode, but integrating multiplayer concepts into the single player campaign is definitely crappy. SP and MP modes should definitely be separate.

Agreed. Also, don't just add a multiplayer mode for the sake of it. If you can make one as good as the best out there go for it. Otherwise focus all resources where you can excel.

 

[Teelie]

If it's additional, that's fine assuming it doesn't take over. But these days so many single player games are more of an after thought to a multiplayer game so when I see a traditionally single player game with multiplayer attached it bothers me because it's more leaning into the multiplayer/MMO-ification of gaming. And tacking on multiplayer usually means taking away resources from the single player side.
