I 100%ed Doom Eternal a couple of weeks after it came out and I’m still struggling to find the words for it. On one hand I enjoyed it but the combat is so same-y all the way through. The tech is wonderful but the story is what Doomguy2016 mocked in his first level. Hmm

Why is it so underwhelming? Why did it feel so bland? … all those things despite it being such a massive and playable rollercoaster. I shouldn’t have started this thread. I just want answers. Wtf is wrong with Doom Eternal. Why does it play like 100 people sat in a room

And each wrote down what they like in video games and it all got accepted. Doom 2016 had embargoes and private trailers. My guess is that game was an experiment directed by one persons vision and the higher ups just weren’t sure. It was a success so of course sequel.

!STORY TIME!
Age 11 at school. Drama class. Tom and I hated acting so we made a puppet show instead. It was so good the teacher and class laughed their faces off. Smash hit. Teach says it was the funniest smartest thing she’s seen. Next project everyone wanted in. It flopped.
