I keep flip flopping on if I like this more or less than Doom 2016. It's a very, very different game entirely. I like the gameplay, and at first I really didn't enjoy how limited the ammunition is, but after a while I got into the rhythm of switching weapons, chainsawing, glory killing/flamer for health/armour. It's much more rapid paced than 2016 and the weapons all feel each pretty useful when compared to the 2016 roster.

The Marauder is not as bad as the memes show him; but he is a boring enemy to fight. I zip around like a schizo anyway because of the high difficulty I'm on; and he doesn't change things, I just shift him to bottom priority in terms of kill list, wipe out the heavies and damaging enemies, leave the ammo bags zombies around for free pickme ups and then work the cunt with the axe over.

The addition of the mancave in the fortress, and the toys and his reaction to them; plus the Doomguys dialogue just makes him seem autistic as fuck though. Pretty amusing.

Bad news everyone.

Bethesda rushed the process of making the Official Soundtrack

And Mick gordon only got to mix 10 tracks the rest were mixed by other people, which is ridiculous because he made the entire Soundtrack

So Mick gordon said he doubts he will work on Doom again.

this is ridiculous how can bethesda screw Mick over, his music is 50% of what makes Doom great.
That's Bethesda for you; just another shortsighted, incompetent, and self-destructive company, who continues to exist despite their bad decisions due to sheer inertia. They see no issue with slaughtering the goose who lays golden eggs, not when there's always another one just around the corner. I feel bad for the employees at Id Software, forced to deal with having them as a publisher. The fact that Doom Eternal turned out so well in spite of Bethesda, is a credit to their talent; but it's only a matter time before the company ruins yet another good thing.

Yeah that's true, but at least Mick is working on a (unofficial) complete version of the soundtrack.

I think someone, somewhere misunderstood the appeal of the doom comic. It was amusing and appreciated because it was so absurd, but trying to splice that dialogue into a story that has some pretense of being serious and emotional was a mistake.

Some of the Doom Guy dialogue was cringe but it was literally like one or two scenes of him.actimg as traumatized as shit.

His Man cave is literally Easter eggs.

YMMV but I don't see either as really detracting from the game. I'm surprised at how well they integrated some bits from the ridiculous Doom comic into the game series though it was better done subtly in Doom 2016. In that I agree.

When Mick releases his version of the soundtrack, I hope it comes with album art that just has "Screw you Bethesda!" emblazoned across it.

Doom: Eternal's latest update includes a kernel based anti-cheating software known as Denuvo.

You mean it includes spyware that provides anyone with access to it (or the ability to hack it) complete and total control over your computer that would be virtually impossible to identify or block.

If you care, at all, about your computers security then uninstall Doom Eternal, making sure that you also uninstall the hijacker, and then contact Steam demanding a refund as you did not consent to allowing the forced installation of third party spyware onto your computer to play a game.

This is only going to get worse as time goes on, and I would not be surprised if the next game pulls a Dead Space 3. My advice for id Software would be to drop Bethesda as a publisher; but apparently they're both owned by the same parent company, so that's not going to happen. It's not a matter of if they're forced to release a crappy sequel that kills them as a company, but when.

Shame, because I just started replaying 2016 on Ultra-Violence in preparation to eventually buy Eternal when I upgraded my graphics card on PC. Looks like a fun game, but I already despise any installer trying to install tertiary software that isn't the thing I wanted. I'm certainly not paying for that to happen now with what amounts to basically spyware.

Oh well, back to Animal Crossing I guess.
