DOOM Eternal - Trailer 2
- Thread starter Tovarisc
- Start date
Y-you're... you're playing RDR2 and complaining DOOM is too slow...?
Just went back and rewatched the E3 story trailer and this. I really think this isn't that well cut of a trailer comparatively. That E3 story one gets me PUMPED but this one is too expository and the action doesn't seem as good. Editing a lot weaker too.
This is a bit unreasonable don't you think? There are obviously different expectations when you're playing a cowboy sim focusing on meticulous realism versus when you're walking, double jumping, demon meat grinder personified.
I don't really share the same opinion but I can see where they're coming fron
I even quit on the last boss so 99,9%. I was just done with the game.
Nice to see people really enjoying doom 2016. It was not really MY doom from the old days.
I missed the regular grunts with guns. Doom 2016 just have some half dead grunts wandering around. I also disliked the fact that every enemy went into a finishing stage and you needed to finish them off up close.. On the original doom you would just blow them meters backward with the shotgun. I also disliked Arena like combat zones where you would demolish the nest and the doors close untill you killed everything. Felt very repetitive in my opinion.
I liked the soundtrack though.
There are some late game abilities that speeds the game very much
My new walk through with basic abilities felt very slow I agree.
Oh they're totally different games, I just find it funny as if I had to sum up why I quit RDR2 "slow" would definitely be it.
I mean the story section where you literally have your walk speed adjusted so you're unable to sprint... maddening.
Yeah, it's not better at all or anything like that. Just Happens to be what I am playing atm since I just decided to check out the PC version. It's not really comparable to this game at all.
The soundtrack just makes everything else better.
I want to win the lottery just so I can pay Mick Gordon ridiculous amounts of money to keep creating this kind of music forever.
Not particularly. A lot of the tunes in the OST sound very similar with this gutteral metal.
His Wolfenstein OSTs are superior. Check out this absolute beauty:
I think that plays into how you perceive DOOM OST as standalone thing when it isn't backdrop to kickass action. I like heavier tunes quite a bit myself and I think DOOM 2016 has banger OST, I listen to it every now and then still. Eternal OST seems to continue that.
Same time I also appreciate his other work like that Wolfenstein OST so I totally see why you may like it.
Just so there is no misunderstanding: I don't mean to say you are in wrong for not finding DOOM OST banger on its own
Looks like I need to wrap up my Nightmare run soon.
That new track sounds like it'll fit nicely.

You're not required to glory kill every enemy in Doom 2016. You can just shoot them at range while they're in the staggered state and they'll die normally.
The arena style combat zones does get very repetitive in Doom.
I really hope they have improved on the game design in Eternal. I do not want to play a rehash of the first game.
Yes, i know that of course but the game rewarded you with more stuff if you did go for the Glorykill.
The whole staggering thing first made my guns feel less powerful.
Well.
I'm up to Hell.
It's a pretty nifty bit of gameplay design. Very smooth. Surprisingly tactical. You can tell it was playtested to death.
The tower level was particularly tense. It escalated really nicely.
All I'll say is it's a surprisingly long game. Not to say you won't be able to finish it within this weekend, but they put a lot into the campaign.
Glad you're digging it!
I got two kids. I am not finishing it this weekend 😂
The tactical part is one of the reasons why I found Doom so much fun. So many single player FPSes against monsters devolves into kiting and endless circle strafing. It's why I could never get into games like Serious Sam.
But Doom 2016 deliberately makes monsters that force you to put some thought into how you approach situations. You have to prioritize targets, plan where you're running, and so on.
This is one of my most anticipated games of 2020. I absolutely loved Doom 2016. The only thing that worries me is multiplayer, SnapMap despite being complex was cool. Can't say I'm thrilled about the asymetric multiplayer mode they announced.
Totally. You have to juggle resources too, and do all of that in literal seconds.
It's what a lot of combat focused games aim to do with enemy type composition and level design, but executed really well.
There's some lovely little touches too. Like, I think it's neat how certain options - glory kills giving you health and chainsaw kills giving you ammo - drive you to be super aggressive.
It's never gonna break my top ten, but there's no denying that this is a top-tier bit of gaming.
welcome to the PC gaming family.

I get a lot of recommendations for the Doom Eternal Soundtrack on YouTube. Where does this music come from?
Bethesda's and Mick Gordon's channels didn't release anything. Did I miss something?
They played music for an hour alongside a countdown for the new Doom Eternal trailer on Bethesda's stream.
It'll be sold separately too. You just get it for free if you preorder Doom Eternal now.
Sorry if this has been discussed already but anyone else get a feeling of the movement and enemy hit reactions in the trailer being borderline mechanic? Like unnaturally smooth as if something was missing?
Doom 2016 got the same criticism before release in that the gameplay seemed so mechanical and how the animations engage & repeat without any subtlety. I felt the same and videos practically put me to sleep (even the demo where I went hands on) and I skipped the full product for months. Then word of mouth got to me and I got past the first couple of hours and then the arena combat really came into focus and it was glorious.
DOOM (2016) --> Waking up from sarcophagus? (Yeah, i need to play again with the game, and read the lore/texts/codex)
