If you like 16 but hate Eternal you are a retard. Disliking them both is logical.
>>
>>729081928
2016 was cool and Eternal pushed that type of gameplay to its breaking point. Pure kino.

Dark ages had to do something else because they could push it harder, but making it open world exploration with puzzles and quick time events dragon fights wasnt the way.
Also the story had so little screen time in '16 and Eternal and them doing longer cutscenes that are Soooo metal, omg guyz, also missed the point.

T. Boomer who loved eternal, hated Dark ages and it really killed doom for me.

> and them doing longer cutscenes that are Soooo metal, omg guyz, also missed the point.
It was also really inconsistent.
For the first few missions you have these cutscenes and story set pieces pretty constantly.

Then around the middle there are practically no cutscenes.
How did Doomguy get to hell in this game? I have no fucking idea, you're just there when the level begins. The sudden lack of story was a bit of a whiplash.

Trash

Fuck these fags. I completely agree with you dude

Dark Ages killed the series, not Eternal

I don't like Eternal's tonal shift and overly prescriptive gameplay

Eternal was good.

Is it not because he fucking died in the last mission? Like doom 1 now that I think of it?
>>
>>729081515
I couldn't even finish 2016 with how boring the combat is. Eternal was much better.
>>
>>729084287
Why are you brown?

>>729084382
buy dlc
play online to unlock cool skins
>>
>>729082173
Design choices like the dlc enemies that let underused weapons shine or the marauders who makes you stop moving and sit in a specific spot to damage him are honestly peak gaming. That one part where they had two of them at the same time?
>chefs kiss
>>
>>729081587
Got this game free with my graphics card. I rarely play AAA these days so wanted to see how they're doing.

Every 5 steps I'm stopped dead for a tutorial video. This shit was so ass. I can't believe they were okay putting this out.
>>

Where I'm at too. I commend the for trying someting different instead of making it a map pack for Doom Eternal, but I didn't really like what they did.
>>
>>729081587
DA was better than Eternal tho. DA is literally being held back by Eternal's baggage.
>>
>>729085564
>DA was better than Eternal tho.
How?
>>
>>729081586
64 was trash though. Even 2016 is better.
>>
>>729084971
I also didn't like that they removed deathmatch and snapmap entirely instead of improving on 2016's implementations.

For me it's this
>>
>>729081515
Doom 2 was the last game.
>>
>>729085661
Guns felt better and encounter design was better. You could use pretty much any gun for any situation and it didn't feel like every encounter had to be done the efficient way. People meme about Simon says, but you know what you can do against every enemy in DA? Just fucking shoot them. There's no Maurader equivalent where you have to stop and do his bullshit. Also I find the addition of a stinger to be the single best new skill Doomguy has in the entire nu trilogy

Also Also they toned down all the shitty marvel super hero quip stuff.
>>
>>729081586
Based and true
>>
>>729085664
Yeah thats why it ended at 64.
>>
>>729086875
The guns all felt identical, and the encounters were boring because there was fuck all enemy variety and 99% of the roster was on the ground. And half of those just stood in place shooting projectiles slowly.
>You could use pretty much any gun for any situation
That's a bad thing. There is no point to having more than 1 weapon because they all do exactly the same thing.
>you know what you can do against every enemy in DA? Just fucking shoot them.
Just like Eternal?

Sorry. Wrong pic.

>>729087569
Wrong. That's a prototype. The series started with three ended with four and started with live then ended with champions. If you disagree you're fat in real life.

Quake 2 is awesome THOUGH
>>
>>729084456
It wasn't just a successful game, it was far more successful than anyone could have imagined. 4th best selling single game of all time. Don't think it killed any franchises, bud.

>>729086008
e-day will revive it. I believe.

That game was DOA. Quake has been dead as a franchise since Quake 4.
>>
>>729081515
Doom Eternal is the fastest selling DOOM game of all time. I don't see how that's a flop.
>>
>>729087569
Quake II is a great game that should have been called something else.

Eternal despite being 5 younger consistently has the same amount of players as the dark ages slop, did any of the speed runners/streamers even move to that Dark Ages?

It's too slow to be bad at. It's practically turn based.

Didn't know that Doom Eternal fans were FECALOIDS with literal POO SKIN. It explains well their SHIT TASTE since they literally eat LITERAL SHIT.

I thought 2016's world and aesthetic was far superior and the knitty gritty ganeplay. Eternal however has that goofy looneytunes tone, the mario platforms, the terrible dialogue, terrible marvel aesthetic like the space world which was supposed to be in fucking ruins and a part of hell, I liked the amount of abilities but I didn't like feeling forced to constantly use them, any demon design that wasn't originally from ID is fucking garbage and stands out painfully. Also fuck that gay ass nigger marvel reference portal scene they had to put in. I otherwise liked both games but I feel 2016 makes more sense
