DOOM Eternal |OT| Hells Bells
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
Been watching some streams, I cannot wait. Just a lot of early stuff but so far, the soundtrack feels appropriately good overall, level design is less moving from hall to hall arenas to more open platforming which is a nice breather. The gist is I see nightmare mode looks harder because ammo is more scarce, expect to chainsaw more than you did in Doom 2016.
I wish they would unlock Doom 64 while we wait for the official release. Give me something to do.
I wish I had the patience to do this, but no, I gotta play Eternal lmao
Nope, but there's a lot of fun callbacks and 2D sprites here and there.
For real. Especially with so many people at home at the moment.
Watched a stream (even though I shouldn't) and oh my god the environments are sooo good. I can't wait to explore these places and find all the secrets, I love that there are cheatcodes too.
Why on earth they delayed D64 alongside Eternal is beyond me man.
From my understanding the standalone price for 64 will be $4.99 USD, so it would probably be cheaper to get Doom 64 on it's own + Eternal on sale later on if you were on the fence.
I just spent a day and a half installing a massive fucking update for Warzone MW, and now i'm here pre-loading Doom 2.
Oh well!
Oh well!

Haha I'm actually asking because I have not purchased yet but if somebody in the US already preloaded and would be willing to try...
Then I'm immediately buying. I guess technically US would be playing tomorrow morning if the NZ switch worked. Still pretty early.
NZ are 13 hours ahead of UK so I'll give it a go tomorrow at around noon and let you know how it goes.
ID/Bethesda are toying with us at this stage. The game has effectively released since anyone who ordered in store in the UK already has it. No idea why they don't just pull the trigger for digital buyers..
Amazing OT! I absolutely love this whole cross over thing between Animal Crossing and Doom. Puts a big ol smile on my face
Just finished a quick run of Doom 2016, didn't really go for secrets and played on Ultra-Violence instead of Nightmare this time. Had a great time.
Combat really shines on the Nightmare setting. The pace is just killer. On Ultra-Violence I sometimes felt like I had "spare time" or something that just didn't flow like I remember.
Can't wait to go into Eternal headlong very soon!

What does it mean when an encounter is sort of half-green instead full green after completion? Confused whether I messed up one or not.
Hunter - Polish metal band - released a new song as a part of marketing campaign for Doom: Eternal here.
It's not bad, but it's not a good fit for the game. They should've gone with more prog-metal stuff, lots of smaller bands like that here (but I guess that's not popular enough?) or just say fuck it and ask Behemoth.

Hurry up and ship my fucking CE, Amazon. lol
Keep checking my status, still set for Friday delivery but the way things keep getting worse daily...

If you're familiar with the difficulty of the old games, I'd say it's comparable in difficulty to Doom II. Maybe a bit easier than the harder levels.
A bit harder than classic Doom maybe, but definitely easier than Thy Flesh Consumed.
Well was hesitant to pre-order the game. I was sure the game was going to be amazing, at least as good as DOOM 2016. However Bethesda games drop in price like a brick.
But just had to get the game anyway, and hopefully support the devs to keep on making fun games

Retail buyers finally having their day after years of me getting games early by ordering online from the right places
Depends on your mood. Doom 64 is unnerving and haunting, while Doom Eternal is thrilling and empowering. Both absolutely fucking rule, though.
Just bought it and while it will undoubtedly be great fun and technically excellent, I can already tell that I'm not going to like the more colorful art direction as much, especially the power-ups. At times it looks like Doom guy is shooting up a candy factory. Absolutely not a fan of all the pink, bright green etc. It's just a very inconsistent, all-over-the-place color palette this time around.
Definitely some loss of atmosphere there in my opinion and some reviews mentioned that point as well (Gamestar, for example (German)).
Oh well, since I'm on PC, maybe some mods can help out there in a couple of weeks.

I don't really understand what you mean, but that's just a 'total demons in level killed' meter. If you've cleared out the entire level (no more red spots on the map), the entire bar will be green. One completed encounter does not equal a segment, it just fills up as you go along. I think you just automatically fill that up as you go through the level, I have gotten full green bars on every level so far. The secret/slayer encounters have seperate meters.
Playing Doom Eternal since this morning. When installing I first played Doom 64 (its only 90 ish MB's by the way). Well, Doom 64 is fucking amazing. Its true Doom 3. Looks and plays great. Force feedback feels kind of good, the music is more atmospheric than heavy metal. I dunno, I really like this game. The rooms that change up and the classic Doom angle. I especially like the heavy machine gun in Doom 64.
I started with Eternal later, now a few hours in and unlocked a handful of weapons. Its better and more diverse than 2016 so far, which is a feat! Eternal is one big fucking adrenaline rush and its tough as nails on UV. You can't stand still, ever. IQ on Pro is amazing, some slight framedrops when I jump against invisible walls etc but blistering during the action. A GOTY contender for sure.
As for the backdrops, well, they went for more diversity, I like them but I can get behind purists who would prefer a darker look.
