I'm not sure how I feel about Eternal from this first update. I thought Doom 2016 was one of the most boring and overrated games I've ever seen, much as I enjoyed the LP, and right away Eternal fixes a number of the qualms I had with it, with far more color and varied environments. Of course, it then introduces a whole host of new problems with a story that smacks of the Destiny games in vibe (and that is not a compliment).

On the one hand, I love the environments in this game so far in isolation. It's colorful, varied, detailed, and not at all afraid of being a video game. On the other hand, this feels like a Bungie game with all this lore and story and characters the game acts like you should already know. Doesn't help that the core gameplay still looks incredibly dull in that very calculated, designed by committee, "look how awesome and epic this is way!" that's feeling even more egregious now than in Doom 2016.

The doom hunters remind me a lot of the Saboath in Doom 3, just with a hover base instead of tracks.

For an evil version of the Doom Slayer I was expecting something... more.

That is the weakest 'rip and tear' I've ever heard in a game.

As someone who's never played Eternal, and didn't finish Doom 2016, I don't find the videos hard to follow. Eternal isn't as breathtakingly dull as 2016, but the combat is just as rote and samey.

Calling it now: Hayden is a Maykr spy or defector. He knows everything about how they and Hell work, his game plan in 2016 was exactly what the Maykrs are doing, and his robot body looks like Maykr tech.

Alkydere posted:I'd say "Great LP of a solid and good game with groan-worthy writing that couldn't understand what made it good." To me, more fundamentally, I do not find the core gameplay loop of Doom 2016 enjoyable, and nothing in Eternal looks like it's changed. To me, the core game of Doom 2016 was boring and repetitive, and so it is in Eternal. That the story is godawful is almost beside the point. But I know the first part of that is an extreme minority opinion on SA.
