Doom 2016 was ok, Eternal was peak millennial redditslop. I avoided Dark Ages so I have no idea but nobody talks about it so I assume it was equally trash.

They're great, but I really want a more grounded Doom game again. The doom guy can be badass without being a heckin powerful Doom slayaaa God. The demons should be scary and the odds should feel against you, not this "the doom guy isn't stuck in a room with demons, the demons are stuck in a room with doom guy" reddit shit.

DOOM and DOOM Eternal where amazing but they went full retard with the lore
>>
I loved 2016 and Eternal but it was physically painful for me to finish Dark Ages. It's such a bland, generic, joyless piece of shit it's just insane. Those robot and dragon segments in particular were atrocious.
>>
>>737331040
Eternal was for taking the powers of the slayer to their maximum, and then taking them even further, not about being badass. But that being said, using a magic grapplehook on a magic shotgun to fly in a straight line into a demon's face and then using a magic chainsaw to split it in half and then pulling out a sniper rifle to snipe a caco mid air and then punching an imp so hard you blow up every other imp in the immediate area instantly and then pulling out a sword powered by demon hell energies to slice a tyrant in half and then calmly walking out of the room after is pretty badass if you ask me.

Is there an overhaul for Dark Ages that removes the mech levels, the dragon sections, the turret sections, and the constant slow motion? I think I would play it if it weren't for those.

>>737329818
dark ages just isnt good ... more, its just really bad
its a high budget version of a shitty xbox 360 tie in game

its a linear corridor shooter with fucking brain dead nonsensical plot, 0 balance, 0 difficulty curve, on rails mech and dragon sections, shitty shallow turret sections, constant retarded cinematics, no multiplayer, no modding and no NEW GAME + even
the last minute is as hard and complicate as the first, the fact it has 3x less enemy types than eternal means its so repetitive you will have enough after 3 hours

if not for the brand name there is 0 way it would get more than 5/10 from most game sites\

so yeah .. first 2 are good, but have their flaws

doom 2016 - 8/10, too much down time and unescapable talking sections
doom eternal - 8/10, weak plot, weak platforming(invisible walls everywhere), shit dlcs
dark ages - 6/10, if im being very generous, just not good
>>
>>737335813
I'm not afraid to admit the "Spirit" filtered me. That thing's design was the last straw for all the shit I put up with in that game.
>>
>>737335902
the way the made the first DLC too hard, then second too easy, introduced bunch of pointless and 1 time mechanics on top of the "satan is doom guy" shit, everything felt just so half assed
hugo marting watching too many marvel movies, and wanted le ebin "avengers assemble" shit in a doom game, that guy is a complete hack
since he took over with the DLCs the series went straight to shit
>>
>>737329818
>Hell, even Doom 3 is pretty great.
Shut the fuck up, Zoomer. It was shit then, it is shit now, and will always be shit until someone makes a decent rebalance mod.
>>
Nah Eternal was trash. Get this super mario brothers ass platforming garbage out of my Doom game, it even has fucking unironic 1UPs. You CAN'T make this shit up. Not to mention the garbage exposition dump cringe dialogues the game pushes in your face every checkpoint, how can they be so bad at writing?

The gameplay is alright, but isn't nearly good enough to compensate for all the garbage, and it keeps the worst parts from 2016, like the maps being walk into room, lock it down, arena fight waves of demons, arena lock lifts, walk into the next room, repeat. Garbage. And don't even get me started on doubling down the shitty glory kill crap so now you have to cinematic chainsaw a monster after every 3 shots. Fuck, the more I think back on the game the more parts I remember being garbage.

Eternal is just a shit game that git gud fags can't stop sucking off just because it's hard, and that's literally all they care about, they don't give a shit that everything else is made of shit and garbage.

>how can they be so bad at writing?
Since Hugo Martin wants to be the writer, director and designer.

2016 is the only of the 3 that had an actual writer, and its the only one that makes any logical sense
eternal, dlcs and dark ages have a nepohire who fired the writer and made himself the writer guy, and since hes the series head nobody in the studio can even call him out on how fucking bad he is

i wouldnt be even so mad if Martin could fucking keep his own lore straight, instead the series is full of retcons, mistakes, potholes and contradictions
nothing he shit out in eternal codexes is even in dark ages, he completely forgot what he wrote and didnt give a shit to look it up
>>
>>737329818
Eternal is unfocused and unfinished arcade trash.

There is no other game like it so your criticism is actually totally empty.
>>
>>737337907
what
>>
>>737333650
But using the chainsaw is not a normal weapon how you pose it, it activates a animation. Same with the sword. There is no actual melee system in the game which kills the flow you are describing.
>>
>>737329818
>You now realize these are all excellent.
No, I only realize the second one was the least shitty out of a very subpar trilogy.
>>
>>737329818
TNT kinda ruined Final Doom.
>>
>>737332082
>Those robot and dragon segments in particular were atrocious.
You think thats bad?
Try replaying the game.

You dont really get how truly awful those sections are until you have to play it twice, the liberality, slowness, the complete lack of any depth, challenge or player freedom make it among some of the worst gaming moments ever.
>>
>>737329818
Anything past Doom 2 is basically turn based for how slow it is.

>>737338074
I hated that, they're basically "delete this tough enemy" buttons and aren't interesting to use at all. I was so excited when the sword first appeared in the trailer.

You know Hugo waa ok in Doom 2016. But then with Eternal he suddenly started with all this "fun zone" shit. And introduced cooldown-slop. And since normies hadn't had that before in a proper shooter, they ate it up.

Dark Ages wasn't outright unplayable but it became dull as hell for me after I became proficient at its mechanics. Every enemy can be defeated with almost no struggle with just the super shotgun and a few abilities. Maybe you need to remove their armor before you stun them with the shield charge (one SSG shot, shield charge and melee), maybe you need to use the shield charge to force the enemy to use a parryable attack, but besides these slight deviations every enemy can be easily stunlocked while pouring ammo, armor and (if you're below about 75% health) health pickups. The game has a hidden mechanic that stops you from being killed when above 5HP, so you can facetank everything and ignore the fodder that despawns when you kill the 2-3 real enemies in each encounter.

I played the game on Ultraviolence and died 1-2 times total outside boss fights where you can't facetank due to not having fodder to heal you. Eternal isn't what I want out of DOOM but I respect its well-designed gameplay loop that pushes you to use most of your weapons and all your abilities to survive at UV, while TDA asked very little of me.

As an '01 zoomer, this is how I'd rank them.

Eternal > No Rest For The Living > Plutonia Experiment > Dark Ages > Sigil > Ultimate Doom > Doom 64 > Doom 2 > TNT Evilution > Doom 2016 > Doom 3 > Master Levels for Doom 2

A couple notes:
> 2016 was my first Doom game and I enjoyed it a lot, but repeat playthroughs showed just how flawed and unbalanced the gameplay itself was and it's gotten to the point where I'd rather replay all of TNT than play 2016 again
>Ultimate Doom goes above 64 and 2 because I like Thy Flesh Consumed
>I haven't played Sigil 2 or Legacy of Rust yet but I plan to soon. I also haven't played The Lost Mission yet so maybe it's secretly the masterpiece to save Doom 3
>Dark Ages is vastly improved by turning the slowmo off and turning speed up to 150%, otherwise it'd fall between 2 and TNT
>I played NRFTL, Plutonia, TNT, and Master Levels with the custom midipacks so their rankings might be a little inflated. Still doesn't save Master Levels at all but it does at least make it tolerable
>There are WADs I've played like Eviternity and Ancient Aliens that clear this entire list

no idea how its so much shorter, has so much less enemies and still no multplayer, no snap map and no master levels
the desperate padding with 2 hours of cinematics and those awful mech sections, weird empty dragon missions is so transparent its insulting, the actual game is half as long as 2016/eternal

what the fuck were they working on all those years?

God i love eternal and dark ages so much. People who don't like dark ages just wanted eternal again, which is valid because eternal is so good, but dark ages really isn't trying to be that. Its slower but much more punchy. They're very different. Eternal is like a machine gun and dark ages is a shot gun.
2016 is just outclassed by both of them in every way.

God i love them so much. Just pure gaming.
