>GORE GORE GORE
>VIOLENCE VIOLENCE YEAH DEATH YEAH EXPLOSIONS WHOA
>METAL MUSIC YEAH FUCK YEAH
started to feel a little pandering after two or three hours

does anyone else feel this way

Maybe after two hours Doom should take a detour through a cool mountain stream to go birdwatching.

this is exactly the reason people think 2016 is superior.
eternal just feels like its trying so hard to be better instead of just being what it wants to be..
beside dark ages has the same issues. so i blame diretors.

dda is not the opposite of de.
its taken further along the path they had chosen.
more gimmicky mechanics. more bullshitty weapons.
more bullshit narrative.
just because the game has a "slow down" option does not make it the opposite of what it was.

Dark Ages is a reaction to people who sucked at Eternal and needed an easier game to play.

nothing is preventing you from switching weapons as often as you want.

you are right.

>slowmo out the ass, on everything
it is tiresome. i agree.
>slow as shit, except when moving forward
i agree. it feels slow compared to eternal but imo its mostly because of constant slow motion and the lck of meathook.
>strafing almost doesn't matter because every projectile tracks
i agree. they ware pushing their new fancy parry mechanics way to much.
>going back to the shitty 2016 way of balancing pickups by making them give fuck all on nightmare
but they made it for people like you. who wanted the challenge and difficulty. thats the feedback people like you gave them after eternal.
>every fight against big enemies is just a 1v1
in eternal adds during boss encounters ware basically free health/ammo. you are arguing that the game is now too hard because consumables are too scarce again?
>barely any hordes for a game that advertised itself on enemy count, even eternal had more
doom was never a horde game but on the other hand ive never heard de criticism that it had too many enemies.

I didn't like that you had to constantly change your weapon during combat. Always felt like the ammunitions weren't enough

you are both wrong

TDA is Eternal, but like "nintendo switch" version. Everything is dumbed down and streamlined, less decision making. Lower skill floor and ceiling. Less quick thinking. Most players will master the game on the first playthrough.

>>715957910
>nothing is preventing you from switching weapons as often as you want.
stops you from blocking. and gives you zero benefit because spamming impaler + shield throw is already the most dps you can do in the game and everything else is a sidegrade.
>quickswapping is not a skill issue
this is revisionism. "running out of ammo" was by far the loudest complaint heard about eternal. anyone who properly utilized their arsenal never ever ran into this skill issue.
> it feels slow compared to eternal but imo its mostly because of constant slow motion and the lck of meathook.
auto sprint gives you like permanent 600 UPS, it's faster than eternal but ground speed doesn't equal fast. overwatch has 1/3 the ground speed of both games but is 10 times faster than both games. you can go fast in apex but it's a slow fps.
>but they made it for people like you. who wanted the challenge and difficulty.
they made it less of a challenge because now you can ignore armor entirely since you get it passively from breaking armor, or using the flail.. not a single person who enjoyed eternal wanted to dumb it down. again, it's made for people who wanted the "switch" version.
>in eternal adds during boss encounters ware basically free health/ammo.
you don't know what the anon is talking about, but you are both wrong. TDA is still about target prio, but the map design doesn't properly let enemies chase the slayer around, so it feels a lot of the time like you are just in a 1v1. most large arenas are intentionally split into sections that enemies arent allowed to cross.

i found the complaints about weapon switching to be overblown

really all you need is the precision bolt, the super shotgun, and something to deal with shields and the game gets really easy

particularly the super shotgun deals a shitload of damage
