First off, it's a first person shooter. What you've said is literally how first person shooters work. Not to mention: if you're suggesting that I'm larping while trying to suggest you don't have nigh infinite ammo for every encounter in eternal... idk, I'm gonna laugh at you with my other friends who love doom.
Second, are you suggesting that you like the fact that you only need to use one out of.. how many, 16 weapons?
Ewww I don't like the fact that this game... makes me play it and doesn't just let me autopilot through everything.
Yes I'm sure that Dark Ages has appeal to kids and old people. I am neither.
Who did you get that from? Doom Eternal is in no way a rhythm game, weapon swapping was no different from 2016 to DE. The only enemy that 'requires' it is the marauder and god forbid you need to switch between two weapons.
No, better to strip everything that made Doom good - down to the fucking double jump. Bad joke.
Every single encounter is braindead. There are like 8 true demons. There are 3-4 weapons (the others are worthless), and literally never a reason to use any of them but the impaler and the BFC (which is functionally completely different than the BFG).
I have not used my brain for any of the encounters. I throw my shield to deal with checks notes 80% of the encounter, spamming parry and impaler headshots to simply annihilate every boss or even remotely threatening enemy.
The game is fucking boring.
Edit: this isn't even discussing the fact that it seems like every encounter is dEfEaT eNeMiEs To BrEaK sHiElD. Very dumbed down sequel to 2016.
Gonna be honest, if Dark Ages represents the future of Doom: Doom died with Eternal. I've played probably 75% of the game and it's enough to turn me off of every future title.
Edit: Bizarre fucking takes in this thread. How many of you that liked DA played on controller?
Final edit: liking Dark Ages and disliking Eternal is like preferring lunchables to a NYC slice.
Them: If this thing happens to me that most likely will not happen to me, I'll do this thing.
You: No, you won't.
You see what that shit looks like? Congratulations Cletus, you've spoken the obvious about a hypothetical. No I won't be shooting the people responsible for destroying the planet, thanks for reminding me.
We live in the age of madness and disdain, I feel like having a bunch of little stabby things on the end of your fingers can be useful. Also more useful for digging without a tool.
This is, of course, spoken by someone who bites their nails.
The person you're replying to is right, you're a cultist. You desperately desire to be able to skip to the end where you make a bunch of money off your 'art' utilizing tools whose largest claims to fame currently are literally copying the Ghibli style and being bad at math.
There are legitimate uses for AI, art is not one of them - and anyone that can actually appreciate art will always reject you.
Must be nice to live in current year and not know what captcha is, which I'm assuming must be true because the hate that I have for it will never let me forget.
Which makes it... a bad doom game. ..
You will not revisionist history this game, there is nothing wrong with subjectively liking a bad game but the fact remains: doom 3 was bad.
