It's really irritating the Eternal soundtrack isn't on spotify because 2016's is the best workout playlist I've used.

It's been nearly a year... After the dustup between Mick Gordon and id, I suspect some kind of legal hilarity ensued and everyone has been sworn to secrecy. Whether that's ongoing or was quietly settled is anybody's guess, but the fact that the soundtrack is unavailable for streaming outside of YouTube this long after release is very conspicuous.

I wouldn't mind so much if carcasses obeyed line of sight rules like other demons. It loving such that they can project their barriers through geometry.
It baffles me that this is presumably intended behaviour, when I first saw it I thought it was a bug. Completely breaks all the game's logic and makes arenas basically unreadable. I always prioritise killing the fuckers anyway, but their random barriers and poo poo are a big part of why.

Hell still looked like that after release. Here's an image from the IGN post-release review.


I think this looks great. Looks like sulfur and I think it fit the desolate outskirts of hell setting perfectly. Looks poisonous.
I liked that much more than the Nekravol concrete and fire factory.

If we ever get an official soundtrack release that isn't smashed to oblivion by compression, I'll eat quad damage.

The Steam achievements for Ancient Gods 2 are up, which means that it's probably out soon. And also that some spoilers are out there, should you care about such things.

The Ancient Gods – Part Two is the epic conclusion to the DOOM Slayer’s Saga and the second campaign expansion to the critically acclaimed DOOM Eternal.

You denied the gods and awoke an ancient evil. Now rally the scattered Sentinel armies, lay siege to the last bastion of Hell, break through the fortress walls, and face the Dark Lord himself. The soul of the universe hangs in the balance.

Your war against Hell ends here.

EXPERIENCE THE END OF THE SLAYER’S SAGA

Experience the epic conclusion to the DOOM Slayer’s saga. From the moment you were activated by Samuel Hayden at the UAC facility on Mars to the destruction of the Icon of Sin, all your battles have led to this. Prepare to siege Immora, the last bastion of the dark realm, challenge the Dark Lord in combat, and seal the demons within Hell for good.

FIGHT ACROSS EPIC BATTLEFIELDS

From the ruins of ancient Sentinel settlements and the cosmic wonders of the World Spear, to a devastated and overgrown city on Earth hiding a mysterious gateway, face Hell’s armies in never-before-seen locations as you fight your way to Immora, the last bastion of the Dark Lord protected by towering walls and powered by advanced technology.

FACE CHALLENGING ENEMY VARIANTS

Face new, deadly variants of demons. The Armored Baron wears special armor and uses a charged fist attack. The Stone Imp possesses a nearly impenetrable hide and prefers close combat. The Screecher is a zombie that empowers nearby demons when killed. The Cursed Prowler is a mutation with venomous, cursed claws. Exploit their weaknesses to destroy them.

WIELD THE SENTINEL HAMMER

Deliver more destruction with the Sentinel Hammer, an ancient weapon capable of stopping any demons caught within its shockwave. Use it to stun demons or combine it with the Ice Bomb or Flame Belch to extract much-needed health or armor.

Man, I'm glad I waited to play the first dlc until they were both out. I think this'll be a good concentrated dose of Doom Eternal which is a game I very much enjoyed even if it was slightly less so than 2016.

I'm glad it's being pitched as the end of Doomguy's story because Eternal made it really really seem like they were doing the Expanded Universe Story That Never Ends kind of deal and I hate that poo poo. Just give me an ending

(I mean I know they're going to keep making the games but w/e, that's not the issue)

Speaking of extended universe story. I was kind of thinking.
We've went through the DMC1 phase of "rough implementation of a brand new gameplay philosophy".
We're currently in the DMC 3 phase of "polishing of mechanics and expanding on the universe".

I'm expecting the next game to do the DMC4 and have us play a different main character with mechanical gameplay variations.
Alternatively DOOM Eternal: Special Edition where we get to play through all of Eternal as the Dark Lord.

Feel a bit bad cause they've been doing a slow drop of some of these things across the streams, this week they revealed The Stone Imp, and suggested they'd reveal another new monster next week, but I think Hugo also saw a chat message about "Why not the chaingunner" and it elicited a kind of funny response that kind of makes more sense seeing one of those screen shots.

It seems to me it's nigh impossible to win battle mode as a demon against anyone good at quick weapon swapping. IE, anyone who still plays battle mode.

Fortunately, I have not, so I can provide demon players with a couple wins :saddowns:

It might not completely be my fault, because the weapon setup seems to be different there. The "set default weapon mods" tab lists only the shotgun, heavy cannon, chaingun, and rocket launcher, and the mouse wheel seems to only cycle through those. That threw me off.

I was guessing a marauder axe as the weapon, but a hammer is much cooler. From what Hugo said it's more than a straight replacement to the crucible, right?

It's got a little more utility than just a delete button, yes; it has a shockwave that can stun demons, which probably means there's gonna be literal swarms of them cavorting in the arenas now

Reminiscent of the Plasma Gun's stun bomb from 2016, probably?

Probably upgradeable (more uses/faster recharge? More damage to stunned enemies? (would it stack with the freeze bomb's damage boost?) Longer stun duration/range?)
