Probably a few more examples but I think you get the point. both games involve demons (we are void demons after all). Demons from hell with lots of weaponry that want to turn earth into new hell (basically the same thing) you face deformed clones from earth (the grineer) that have spread across the system, want nothing but war and death, serve an ugly abomination that bathes in blood (kuva), can resurrect and sacrifice subjects vs. you are very mobile and can traverse the level quite well You have an arsenal of weaponry to choose from The game makes you feel unstoppable without much challenge vs the game makes you feel unstoppable with a satisfying amount of challenge You play as warrior that can mow through waves of enemies and strike fear in the enemies that hear or see you BUUUUUUT, there are also a few similarities between them if you look closer. Maybe we will not see more of the Doom franchise for a while, and hate aside, I enjoyed every aspect of it, no matter how annoying or repetitive.I am aware of how VASTLY different these two games are. There is just so much more variety.”Īlthough I do not agree with some of these statements, most of this rant does get some things right. Here you get to visit artic cultist bases. The locales are way more varied in both scenery and design where as 2016’s environments were contained largely to just hell levels and abandoned space stations on mars. It forces you to think on the fly and not just spam one single weapon repeatedly and it also gives you an entire swiss army knife full of tools to do that. Doom 16 gave a lot of reminders of the earlier Doom games, here it is barely mentioned.Ĭombat design is way way better. It is not bad, but there exist jumps that hinder the connection between the two games. Not being captive to stupid game ethics as seen in Doom Eternal.Īnd yea, the story. When someone calls me a demon slayer, I think of big guns, heavy armor, loads of unethical weaponry, and lots of gore. I feel weak playing it, forced to do things, conserving ammo, trying to recall what key does what. “It’s like they convoluted the game, took the flow and fun out of it. Ammo is harder to come by so that takes a lot of the fun out of ripping apart demons. The game forces you to play in a certain playstyle. This title also ended the instant deaths from falling off maps which was an amazing addition considering there is an influx of platforming in the game, it is no celeste in parkour, but it holds its ground. When it comes to a challenge, I’m always in, but I want to be the demon, not the prey. A few of the boss fights were also extremely dissolving in nature, boiling down to dash then shoot then run around then shoot.Īnother reason why I and a few other people felt a bit rattled was the harder difficulty. When I played the game, I was not a fan of some of the mechanics. Unfortunately, the sequel took a more… inventive approach. It featured everything that made the original so great, coupled with a modern fling of graphics and gameplay. When the original Doom was released, it was loved by the community. But the hate was not for something they did not do, but rather how they implemented it. id Software established history by releasing Doom and then Doom II, its landmark titles of not only the FPS genre but gaming as well.īut sometimes even larger studios fall into the pits of criticism, it just so happens that the title they got some hate for, was none other than their latest one, Doom Eternal. Id Software is no new player in the industry, rather, it is an irreplaceable part of the video game industry’s history. The latest fast-paced gory experience, Doom Eternal, lived up to expectations, featuring memorable metal music and exhilarating gameplay. The sensation comes from his etched ability to hunt down demons like no other. The Doom Guy itself is widely popular and considered among the most badass video game characters. At this point in time, Doom can be considered equal to many popular franchises. The franchise has inspired more than just games, spanning into novels, comic books, fan art, and film adaptations. The fan-favorite franchise has adapted well into the modern age and sold millions of copies. The Doom series features an ungodly protagonist who is bloodthirsty for demons, and his rage knows no bounds. With extremely unique movement techs and gameplay, it was destined for success. Moreover, the game also featured multiplayer and earlier iterations of mod support. The original title pioneered the modern 3D FPS games and is still held in high regard. Doom games revolutionized the early FPS genre and jumpstarted the fast-paced, high-octane FPS action in the gaming industry.
