    I still cant properly articulate why I didn’t like Eternal but loved 2016. So, part of me thinks this looks cool as hell but worries I won’t have fun with it again. Not sure what to think.

      Doom 2016 was game of the decade for me, but I never finished Eternal after multiple attempts due to getting too frustrated with the mechanics and just not enjoying it.

      Going to wait and watch some gameplay before deciding to try it.

        I finished Eternal but man it’s a real slog, 2016 felt like brainless violence to me which I love. I want to rip demons apart with my bare hands, I don’t want to platform. I don’t want to “optimize” my playstyle. I want to rip and tear.

      Personally, I found the Marauder’s and the Nintendo-hard style junk that was designed to make levels take longer to complete to be particularly frustrating.

      They persist in attempting to incorporate a narrative into a game that was originally designed to simply engage in slaying demons.

      I didn’t like Eternal because it looked and felt more like a quake than doom. And the graphics were a downgrade for me. Not because of texture details, but because of atmosphere and oversaturation. It felt more cartoony than the darker version of hell in the first one.

      I enjoyed 2016, but the armor, health and ammo juggling by using the correct execution/weapon wa too much for my brain in eternal.
