>this made boomers shit and piss their pants in anger
Why are boomers afraid to admit that Doom Eternal made their beloved slowslop shooters from the 90s obsolete?
>>
It does seem silly at a glance. Fists are a classic doom weapon that you can actually kill things with in the OG games, would it have really affected the balance of the game if you could kill things with your bare hands WITHOUT the blood punch? The game's designed so that the chainsaw cooldown is short enough that you will never need to anyway
>>

I can’t think of a game that mindbroke /v/ more than Eternal. Anons still seethe about its existence 6 years later kek
>>
Lmao... 6 years and nudooms still butthurt they didn't got a bigboy medal for playing eternal
>>
>>743417323
really? never heard anybody irl talk about it. I kinda like it but it feels it more like Painkiller than a Doom game to me

I prefer every other game in the series to Eternal. Even The Dark Ages.
>>
>>743417231
You can also dash into those guys to kill them, It's weird but they either just dumped a 0/1 damage number on the punch because they didn't think about people using it or didn't want to encourage it
>>
>released eternal
>"NOOOOOO WHY OUR DOOMGUY JUMPING AROUND DOING PARKOUR SHIT THIS ISNT EVEN REAL DOOM"
>released dark age
>no more jumping around and magnets yourself to the ground like a true doom
>"NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THIS"
aside from the lore that im 101% sure no one gives a fuck about it here, im baffled why dark age flopped since they dumped pretty much all eternal had because people didnt like him jumping around and weapon switching autism. Like i dont wanna argue, i just wanna know why.
>>
Being able to punch things to death would have been cooler
>>
>>743416954
did it? like i'm genuinely curious why people would hate this game, it's faster, moving around feels great and it's more mechanically engaging, like how can you not be exited about it? you can argue that the dark age is shit because the it's somehow manages to be slower compared to eternal, but regardless i feel the gate is just retarded contrarianism
>>
>>743417323
It's kind of ultimate proof that it's a god tier game. We still get Eternal threads and TDA is already forgotten
>>
>>743418167
luckily you can do that in TDA, half the game is melee now.

Reminder that the sole reason /v/ seethes about Eternal is that a month before release it swore it would flop. When it didn't this board had a meltdown that's lasted for 6 years now

That's every game ever, Eternal isn't special.

the guy who made brutal doom had the right idea. all of the overly designed sci fi shit in the new doom games are ugly. they look more like quake than doom. doom should be a gritty 80s action movie take on the future where all the guns are just real world ones.
>>
>>743420448
And Quake is Doom if it was good.

>aesthetic talk
>unironic Brutal Doom apologists
This place is really a gathering of casuals.
What nuDoom needs is simply to be brutally hard, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubdda0DuFvM
>>
Eternal is one of the best shooters of the past 20 years, and the only reason people bitch about it is that it either took them too long to get good at it, or they just never did.

I tried playing DOOM 2016 recently as my second DOOM game ever (first one was DOOM 3) and holy shit do people actually find this fun? Even modern Halo is better

>talking about the looks of Doom when Doom 2 was endless random shit that made no visual sense
Look at this shit, what the hell is this supposed to be?
>>
>>743420835
A temple, or an area for prayer and quiet reflection.
>half circular architecture
>zen garden sand
>>
>>743421007
And why is there a temple in a level called Refueling Base?
>>
>>743421040
I don't know, you just asked what the picture looked like, and that's what I saw.
>>
>>743420253
That's not even the main issue with this retarded logic. The real issue is the fact that you cannot enjoy Doom Eternal unless you play exactly how the developers intended you to play it, and OP's webm is one of the examples.
>>
>>743420835
Yeah I didn't like doom 2 and hardly spent much time playing it, even doom original wasn't that great, by the time I got a PC quake and duke 3d were already out
>>
>>743421180
The glory kills in slopternal are also repetitive and they're all the same animation, the game also visually looks worse somehow from 2016
>>
>>743421180
What, by shooting the enemies? With your guns?
>>
>>743421180
They actually made using melee useful. If it was just infinite melee nobody would use it because it's low damage. But when you make melee powerful and put it in a cooldown/charge, then it's both viable and not something you just spam.
>>
>try to play Eternal for the nth time

Its really that simple

that really doesnt say much.
>>
>>743420684
You can pass the game stages by using cheats, no clipping or just plain cheesing and that's fine if you just want to do that. The appeal of Dark Souls is gitting gud at the game and beating it. That's why it never made sense to me when game journalists wanted an easy mode. It defeats the entire point of the game.
>>
>>743417980
They replaced it with something equally as shot though. They turned the game into parry slop guitar hero. They railroad you into playing a certain way with blocking and parrying with very little player creative freedom.
