The 2016 reboot Doom understood what made the original, a groundbreaking 1993 first-person shooter about demons invading Mars, so great: As Marty Stratton, an executive producer on the new game, aptly put it, Doom is about “badass demons, big effing guns, and moving really fast,” and the reboot lived up to that ethos. Over the course of the game’s rollicking 13-level campaign, players progressively gain access to an arsenal that includes the shotgun, the pulse rifle, the BFG (that’s Big f***ing Gun), and the rocket launcher, all in the service of transforming the armies of hell into a fine, mushy paste.


You’ll need everything in that arsenal in the game’s final level, Argent D’Nur, which just about fills the screen with every enemy variety in Doom lore. As with everything else in the series, success is measured by a pure DPS (damage per second) check. You can only come out on top if you’re dealing more damage, at a higher rate, than all of the punishment you’re absorbing.

"Crumbling Farum Azula is, then, essentially your damnation for the greatest sin in the game — a labyrinthine, floating agglomeration of dilapidated castles populated by super-strong ghostly knights, eagles with blades on their claws, werewolf-like demons, and ancient dragons. Navigating it requires finding routes between these floating islands, often while getting targeted with lightning strikes from afar and fighting common enemies that are just as tough as the bosses found earlier in the game. At any point you are likely to lose your way, endure a surprise attack, or fall to your death. The mandatory boss is Maliketh the Black Blade, a relentless beast-like knight who is plated in black armor and capable of leaping high above the player character to land strikes. He’s tough. (And if he’s not enough, you can go back in time and face an even bigger, optional enemy, the two-headed dragon named Placidusax, in the same area.)"

yeah no way i go here and i'm almost at the end of elden ring. f*** this place

And Doom Eternal is about tedious ammo management, incessant amounts of weapon switching, and forcing you to melee kill enemies (which is the antithesis of a first person shooter, imo)

Sounds like wolfenstein the new order

Die repeatedly reloading or because I'm out of amo

There's just so much about DE that just doesn't seem like fun in the slightest.

Forcing you to do chainsaw(melee) kills to get ammo is so f***ing stupid and nothing will change my mind.

It completely kills the flow of the game and goes against every instinct telling you to stay at a distance and not run up to your enemies.

God damn it, this is a first person shooter, not a first person puncher.
