my airing of grievances with doom eternal, i will keep adding to this thread as i got a lotta problems with you people

there's just too much going on, 2016 doom was a bit simpler and just pushed you to keep going at full bore. now there's fire, blood punches, runes, suit bits, weapon upgrades, just so much to manage. i know 2016 doom had many of those, but i think it's reached a tipping point

the stupid purple challenges are 1) super annoying because you often fail them because of one demon in a corner somewhere and 2) don't encourage you to do them since you give up so much ammo trying them. on harder difficulties it can ruin a game

extra lives are terrible - since you can't decide when to use them or not, sometimes you just get backed into a corner with no ammo and spend all of your extra lives in a situation you never actually wanted to use them in. they are useless

platforming is not really fun, you are overpowered for it so it's so obvious you can do whatever you want so if you miss it's just a matter of a small error rather than an actual challenge

with all that said, i am going to finish it, but i don't think i'm enjoying it as much as 2016 doom. it goes against what they tried to do with that one which was to streamline the doom experience
