I'm definitely going to play some sans hud and the glory kill highlights. I'll probably turn the highlights off from the start. The animations are so good l simply don't need them.

idk if its in other previews but the

I was quite disappointed with Doom (2016). I don't know if I may have simply been in the wrong mood for it at the time, but it was like the video game equivalent of heavy metal. Monotonous, relentless, repetitive and basically all shoot shoot bang bang with little else.
I also found the level design slightly cumbersome to explore, and not particularly rewarding or visually interesting.
Hopefully this new one is more enjoyable and diverse, which it may be given it's got climbing, swinging etc now too, which could help to mix things up.

I think gameplay-wise it looks fantastic and I'm actively excited to play it but I have a really hard time with the aesthetics. The HUD specifically is so mindbogglingly ugly, it's actually impressive.
Edit: Damage models look really good and satisfying in this one, something I've always wanted to see more of in FPS.

I already played Eviternity, so I'll be used to the snow in Eternal in no time
Well the Switch is not mentioned for the release in March on the official website.
Honestly I've been complaining about unlimited sprint in games for sooooo long. It's the dumbest mechanic.... hold down a button to run faster at no cost other than real life joint strain. It's so mindlessly integrated into games now and I have no clue why. Wish more titles would just pick a movement speed that is appropriate to their design goals and stick with it. Doom 2016's no sprint / no reload was so refreshing.
God fucking damn. And yeah, the colors are fucking crazy.
Also something I didn't know, Steam refunds will actually let you refund a pre-order, no matter when you bought it, up until release and then the 14 day/2 hours of play deadline starts. Didn't know that and that's sweet.

id are freaking rockstars for letting us tinker with all this. Thank You!
Great OP - how on earth do you do it so quickly!?
Also....can you add the giant bomb one? pretty please? :-)
I'd guess that the only content you can earn is only relevant for multiplayer anyway? That's the way most single/multiplayer games do it. CoD, BF 5...maybe Battlefront 2, Gears 5 etc all season pass and unclockable is MP only.
Haven't watched videos yet - is there a co-op/horde mode!? this game (if they had time/budget) could produce an amazing horde mode IMHO.
Thank, I'm in the train from Tilburg to Enschede and now I can kill some time.
A lot of the creatures movesets were polished up to be more defined. Hugo mentions that several of the existing creatures, on Doom 2016, could be dispatched by a well placed shot (or combo) of almost anything. This type of design brought the stellar gunplay to the forefront, but when done over and over like this can diminish the fun in the long haul.
The example he gives is the Mancubus.
In 2016 you could run up to him, give him the barrels of the super shottie to the chest and just run off to chase the next enemie.
This time around, if you run up to him he does an AOE attack that knocks you back, preventing you from dispatching him that way.
You will learn that a well placed grenade can stun him, and then you get the opening to take him out.
With this philosophy in mind, in Eternal, all the encounters have more depth and they teach you how to use a more extensive toolset to keep the pace and engagement always at a high level, without the grind of recurring to the same gameplan 80% of the time.
When you add that philosophy to the whole new toolkit of the Doom Marine, he hopes this time around that they have built a Doom specifically to be mastered.
You will have fun all the way there, but when you get your black belt in demon slaying, you will have even more fun instead of being bored.

There's still no reloading. You might have been mistaking Doomguy swapping out weapon mods as reloading.

Its not that quick. They were up already for 10 min. But was surprised there was no thread yet haha.
Finally, something to show to the people that say to don't call him Doomguy.Best sentence...
At this rate the only thing about this game that's disappointing me is the lack of Animal Crossing DLC / DLC of it in Animal Crossing to have fun with coming out the same day.
there was a little taste of it in DOOM 2016 in the VEGA Central Processing mission start
