How are we feeling about the DOOM series now /v/?
>>
>>729160514
Another IP fueled by nostalgiafags
>>
>>729160514
It doesn't even look like Doom anymore
>>
>>729160514
It insists upon itself. The capeshit influence after 2016 doesn't help either.
>>
Modern Doom is a keystone example of "fake skill".
>>
>>729160514
Great start, stumbled in the middle, kind of shit at the end. It's like they went and totally ignored one of their own initial tenants by not focusing on story by further focusing on the story. Of a Doom game. Meanwhile 2016 has the most freeform combat of the bunch, and because of that as a perceived flaw Eternal now has very specific ways you can kill certain demons and doesn't like it when the player goes off the beaten path in that regard. Dark Ages just doesn't give a fuck about any kind of difficulty curve and just lets the player decide just about anything for difficulty while also having a parry but removed 90% of the sync kills while failing to understand why they were there. It's like watching a series of games fail to understand why the first succeeded and proceeding to remove those bits with each new game.
>>
>>729160514
I liked 2016 enough to beat the campaign
Eternal is annoying to play because of constant 2 second cutscenes during gameplay which completely break the pace so I quit like halfway
Haven't tried DA yet

>>729160514
Picture unrelated?

>>729160864
you have cca 10 hours of playtime across all three titles of picrelated, pseud zoomer fag.

>>729160514
2016: A corporate funded attempt to make a game after years of iD doing nothing. Arguably the best of the 3.

Eternal: Shitty Simon Says that killed the series thus the reason Dark Ages sold so poorly. Everyone remembered Eternal being shit and wasn't gonna give iD a chance again after 2016 was basically:
>It's not as bad as it could've been but it's not that special.

DA: Haven't played. Won't play until it goes on sale for $15. Maybe even $10. Though based on observations, I don't get why people say it looks good. It looks like a mobile game in many aspect especially the HUD.

It is confusing how Doom 2016 felt like it needed to pile on all this lore when the first one seemed to be actively trying to reject the idea of needing loads of exposition to justify the action.

I like the third age more than the first two. Its really fun. I was not able to buy it because money was tight, but I tried it on gamepass for a few hours. Eternal was not very fun. The first game was good, but a little basic. The third age struck a very good middle ground and the parrying is near best in class.
>>
>>729160514
I like them all just fine, but I don't love any of them. TDA > Eternal > 2016 would be my ranking.

I'm not that fond of arena battles. The various boomer shooters that have appeared since Doom 2016 fulfill what I want from FPS games much more than this trilogy ever does. There's an alternate world where the sequel to Doom 2016 is more of a big-budget retro shooter and I wish we were in that one.

They're good games and I thought especially 2016 was brilliant, but they always seem just short of missing the mark to true greatness. There's a masterpiece in there they just can't get at it.

It quite literally did figuratively nothing. Doom community just laughed at these pathetic excuses for a Doom game. They have been making and playing Doom 1/2 wads for 30 years, and they will easily make and play them for another century because no other FPS game made in these 30 years came close, ESPECIALLY not the nu-doom games.

Oh shut the fuck up zoomer scum. "Doom" community doesn't exist. It's just a bunch of pathetic zoomers pretending to like a classic game whithout ever actually playing it. It's just a bunch of full conversion mods making stupid horror slop zoomers are obsessed with. It's just an internet fad, nothing to with actual gaming.

>>
>>729161647
To be fair, 2016 had all it's cringey lore be ignorable. Eternal kept forcing it to where you were hitting "Skip Cutscene" and DA decided it was going to appeal to all the edgy Mexicans who ate up LE DEWM SLAYA lore.
>>
>>729162152
If they're gonna make a 4th doom game in a row then I bet it's going to be reboot, seeing the lukewarm reception of DA

Hopefully they'll make something new next time or they tackle another IP for a change of pace
>>
>>729161647
I haven't played Dark Ages yet but it looks even worse in this regard. They were onto something great with 2016 when they slap a monitor in from of your face and try to lore dump on you but Doomguy just rips it the fuck out of the way so he can get back to killing demons. People are sick of having pointless cutscenes and story shoved down their throat in vidya. 99% of games are written by people who are too shit to write Netflix shows, and that's saying something. Doom could have satirised this while just letting the player play the game.

Dark Ages feels like something where you don't have to pay attention to the story but if you don't you almost wish it just wasn't there at all.

I've been trying to follow the story but it's not particularly interesting (just a demon lord waging war on Argent D'Nur and how the Maykrs and Argent D'Nur have been using the Slayer as a living weapon). There aren't an revelations or plot twists so it's pretty uninspired. Feel free to skip past it and just get to the killing.

I don't hate Eternal but it was very sad to see Doom embrace all kinds of gimmicks to keep itself fresh and as such the father of shooters is reduced to this silly shit where you have 10 EPIC COOLDOWN ABILITIES and retarded low ammo cap because DOOMSLAYER RIPS AND TEARS, none of the brutality really translates either. The game clearly wants you to see doomguy glory kill/chainsaw/sword/blood punch/grenade the caco and go WHOOOOAAAA THATS SO SICK! but it's all so procedural that none of it really lands. They evidently wanted that feeling in Ultrakill/souls where a party hits and the dopamine starts flowing, and chased it as hard as aping it in the dark ages.

2016 was fun
Eternal was okay

why do people say this, it was quite generic and had unskippable cutscenes, with upgrades that pretty much made you unstoppable. Doom Eternal was much more fun to play because of the much more hectic arenas with a wider variety of attacks and player movement. Not to mention a better artstyle (the zombie soldiers are 100% better)

Dark Ages significantly reduced a lot of the story focus that Eternal added. It's still there but it feels more like it's just there to have continuity.

There is absolutely nothing difficult or interesting about Halo 2 LASO. The solution to every problem can be taught from a youtube video and you cheese your way through the game. There is no mastery of game mechanics, because Halo doesn't have any. Doom Eternal on Easy has more depth than the entirety of the Halo franchise.

The thing that killed my interest in Dark Ages was finding out just how much story focus there was.

I'm sure I'll get it and enjoy it on sale eventually.

OG Doom is a game about solving maps with the finite resources available to you in a given map. The combat is primitive, but good level design with secrets, traps, keys, item placement, powerups, monster placements and interesting geometry has lead to endless maps the community has made.

Nu Doom is a game about solving combat puzzles by giving the player a low max amount of resources, which are generated by playing aggressively, with the ammo needing to be spent optimally (by learning how to best deal with enemies), while using movement and utility to avoid losing health and armor.

Halo is a cover shooter with neither good level design or combat.

Eternal is the best single player FPS experience in existence, and I like it even more because it filters bads HARD. 2016 was an excellent start.

IMO Eternal improved upon everything Doom 2016 did and that's why i prefer it, and that's why i think Doom Eternal was so wildy popular when it released. The Doom 2016 fans are so strange to me because everything they criticize Eternal for, 2016 is guilty of, EXCEPT... in Eternal you can skip cutscenes, which is so much better than watching that Olivia bitch press buttons and scream over and over again.

Beat 2016 over a couple of days, played Eternal for maybe an hour and a half before getting bored, story seemed retarded and I believe it gets worse later on too, I feel any success Eternal had was from coming off of 2016 which is why Dark Ages did badly

>meanwhile Vega all game: YAPYAPYAPYAPYAPYAPYAPYAP ENJOY THIS EMPTY FUCKING HALLWAY, AND UNSKIPPABLE SLOW ELEVATOR SECTION

Eternal is self indulgent to a fault
>>
I liked the 2016 multiplayer. Why didn't they keep it?

>2016
Simple yet satisfying gameplay, with a decent( at least imo) subtle story that a nice Horror dressing to it, great presentation overall honestly for a DOOM game.
The maps however are only UAC facilities and hell, which hold it back.
>Eternal
Goes all in when it comes to gameplay, nightmare difficulty is especially satisfying and feels like crack once you get it, maps are also pretty diverse so -for the most part- the monotony does not set in, at least it didn't for me in nightmare difficulty. Master levels are hardcore though, I would appreciate any tips.
The story however sucked ass in Eternal, I don't know if they changed the writer or editors from 2016 but any form of subtly is thrown out of the window in Eternal, not to mention how different the tone and presentation is and I don't mean that in a good way. Hearing that the expansions are even more of that with worse gameplay killed my Internet in them honestly.
>Dork ages
Haven't played it yet, I'm glad it's still gimmicky, though I wish it had more depth.

>>729160514
it's garbage, 2016 was the best one, I didn't even buy dark ages, the whole medieval thing is cringe as fuck, doom is a sci-fi game, not some medieval slop garbage
>>
>>729160514
Eternal is the best one. The other two are consoleshit.
>>
>>729170148
2016 does that, but doesn't even give you the decency of playing the game while it does.

okay, 2016 is also bad....

Wads are cool.
Nu-Doom is lame.
Just waiting on the DLC for Dark Ages so we can close the book on this era.

>>729170014
Eternal was astroturfed since it has a very rigid structure if you don't know how to play it, where you have to deal with enemies in a very specific way thanks to the limited resources.
It caught the git gud crew and you can't criticise it a la Fromsoftware games or you'll be called bad.
Thank god TDA was the final nail in the coffin for these cringy ass DOOM SLAYA YAAAS corporate zoomslops.

>>729160514
Eternal or Dark Ages?

I played 2016 and it was pretty ok. Which one should I pirate?
>>
>>729169243
I don't think Eternal fans trash on 2016 like 2016fags trash on Eternal
>>
>>729173606
I liked both, Eternal builds upon 2016 and TDA is their own thing.

Eternal
>Dash around the arena cycling your weapons
>Weapon swap is key and the combat is built around it
>Heavy resource management

The Dark Ages
>It's feels almost like a bullet hell with all the projectiles scattered across the arena, block or return projectiles with your shield
>Weapons now have more general roles, each one has a single target or crowd control mode
>Heavy dependant on the parry mechanic, dealing with heavy demons is now a 1v1 of shots fired between parties.
>>
Another crappy reboot.
>>
>>729160514
2016 was fun
Eternal was fun
Dark Ages was fun

Fun gameplay, great production values and presentation.

Gonna leave the thread before someone finds some train of thought that makes me like them less.

>>729160514
It's totally badass!

Why did they turn Doom into a painkiller clone?

Finished and replayed DOOM 2016 at least 3 times.
Finished Eternal once.
Gave up on DARK AGES after 4 hours.

>>729174665
I'm glad they incorporated the difficulty sliders, with higher projectile speed and without that awful slowmo effect after each parry, the fight is actually great

Nu-Doom jumped the shark with Eternal DLCs. It's not even Doom anymore, just some edgy shooter with a retarded story nobody cares about but they keep shoving it in our faces anyway
>>
>>729165885
Yeah, all 3 of them. Whereas Eternal has more than a dozen cutscenes, where you spend more time skipping them then just watching all the cutscenes in 2016. And that is without factoring in the unskippable, "Oh, look, the door, the only other exit in the arena you just entered, unlocked. Please stare at this unlocked door for 5 seconds. Now repeat that for every single arena in the fucking game of which there are about 100 of them. Oh, and by the way, outside of linear platforming between arenas, the game only consists of arenas like it though Quake 3 death matches were the height of design."

2016 was alright. Very much a modern console shooter, using memes to pass off as a Doom game while not being designed like one at all. Serviceable story.
Eternal built on 2016 and had way more of its own identity. Rather than pretending to be a follow-up to classic Doom it leaned into being an arena action shooter and mostly succeeded. On its own merits it's way more enjoyable than 2016. However the story was pretty bad.
I haven't played The Dark Ages because it looked kinda ass.
>>
>>729162152
I want a Quake reboot. Not a multiplayer Quake.
>>
nu doom was never going to be a pure quake like game, powerful automated tools/compromises for console are a core part of the design. the best path forward with those constraints is basically what we got in eternal, going full bore on the idea of juggling a resource management game within combat.
>>
>>729177498
modern game design is allergic to any level layout that's not the most basic baby shit, it's absolutely pathetic how low the expectations are for people to navigate layouts. that does not bode well for a quake reboot that would actually be authentic to what those games were.

/thread.
2016 wasn't perfect but it was solid. It felt like doom. Perfect jumping off point for more.
Then eternal said "hey let's toss the freedom out the window so that it'll look super cool on with streams for " mlg gamerrrrs"
It because a weird "skill based" shooter where you have to play it in specific ways and kill enemies in certain ways, or get punished for it.

And yeah, it started taking its own story too seriously. The whole fun of doom 2016 is doomguy ignoring typical story beats.
>Hayden over intercom ready to explain technobabble about how to deactivate the thing
>doomguy takes a look at it and just smashes it to bits instead
And that's all you needed. Cutscenes in eternal and dark ages feel like they might as well be darksiders or some other game. Remove doomguy and there's nothing that says they are from or should be from a doom game

>>729178638
2016 is pretty shallow. There is one strategy that beats everything else in the game. It' not even a strategy that's difficult to do. Doomplayers loved Eternal because it fixed every complaints that advanced players had with the game.

>you had to play in a specific way to kill enemies
Oh wait, you are just retarded. I regret writing this post now.

By Doom players you mean 2016, right?

No, I meant the old fossils like who still play primitive games from 30 years ago that don't even have 3d movement.

Also TDA is ass. I played up till the boring giant robot section and had next ro no desire to play more after that.

same. I want Doom to be reset a bit now that THA DOOM SLAYA is just Thor from Marvel at this point. I dont mind the modern Doom trilogy, it is it's own thing, but i'd like to see a trilogy in the style of Doom 3 come back

It's fundamentally not Doom. The original games involved movement, strategy with weapons, mob knowledge of computer AI and habits.

The games now are just boring : meathook, meathook, shield, shield, powerful weapon, glory etc. etc.

There is no danger in the new games. Plus some boring over the top story, like some Marvel movie. The fundamental story of a lone marine, normal guy, working through hell literally and figuratively is actually compelling.

don't want to shit up the thread, but the game is well optimized too. I only get 45-55 fps sometimes and its smooth the whole time. 45-55 feels like 90-110 for other games. Fortnite has way more glitches and shit. its not even close.

I always find myself wanting to replay ddom 2016, but when I do I try and play like I play eternal.
It has better atmosphere, it's far more serious.

But Eternal got me hooked, I was hoping the Dark Ages was gonna be like Eternal but with the difficulty and enemy numbers of the master levels.

well what can you do.

2016 was alright
I dont understand what they're doing with dark ages its like they want another halo
