They really amplified it by adding soooo many more demons to the field, feels like a real conquest, and somehow he feels way cooler with an army at his back that (while yes they’re getting killed in droves) can kind of go toe to toe with Hell unlike Earth

yeah the game is apparently more open than eternal, not an open world, but more open. More exploroation and unique combat encounters along hidden paths.
Funny reading people's reaction to this, reminds me when people were freaking out because Eternal was different to 2016. I'm just here for the ride, whatever different direction ID takes these games I am very open to and this is one of my most anticipated games of 2025.
I loves doom eternal, however when you haven’t played it in a while it’s difficult to play because of the complex mechanics, like using a different gun and ammo type for different enemies, u forget what does what after a while. I’m glad they’re taking this direction. Insta buy for me.
@AguyR1401 a coop might be good but its been always just 1 doom guy!. With the first classic games that the main character seems to be a simple soldier the coop was good as the others were the same but in these new games i dobt know, the main character is kind of a demigod and theres just one.
@@gj-84 The original doom shipped with coop. The game has multiverses and confirm there are different doom guy like doom 3 marins is his own thing. Of course if idsoft want to commit to the best single player experince they can, they should do it.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee I’m sorry but the influence is very clear, ID software always made sure to incorporate some of that medieval fantasy from heretic and hexen into the modern doom games wherever it was possible
I love the doom games, but if I had maybe one little criticism, they got rid of the neon colour effects within fights. I know they’re to signal commands and ammo etc, but i think it would look so much better if it was a bit more gritty and fitting with the dull and scary world.
Yea I hope they didnt remove the dash and the grapple hook from the shotgun, but the shield seems to have capabilities similar to the aforementioned movement option.
Looks awesome but i hope it challenges us as much as eternal did. Whoever beat doom eternal on hurt me plenty or nightmare became a better FPS player from it.
Doing the arena challenges to unlock the Unmayker on the highest first playthrough difficulty was some of the most fun I've ever had in a game. Eternal was so peak.
If they can bring over slayer gates or an equivalent to those that would be so adrenaline inducing because I was always excited for each one. Hopefully the OST can carry that gruesome feel mick had
@@boinknook Storywise, it is the continuation of the original games. It's the original doomguy from doom 1,2 and 64. But you have to innovate the gameplay mechanics and level design. You don't wanna play the same game in a different skin everytime.
Man I f****** love Hugo Martin and the boys!These guys know what their fans want and they deliver!In an era of garbage multiplayer focused games they said to hell with that this is a single player game and it’s refreshingly awesome!
You underestimate how regarded most gamers are. A game that requires you to press more than WASD and left click has the potential to baffle most players.
As someone who loved Doom 2016, and Doom: Eternal, what the hell is this? Glory kills go from ripping demons by their limbs to booping them on the snout? Where’s the blood and carnage? We lost Mick Gordon for this?
I'm not a fan of the simpler controls and selectable melee weapons, however, I like that i have more freedom changing the difficulty, i hope this game can be as fast paced as Eternal
Nah, weapon swapping was fun as hell. Still, i'm excited to see what can we do in this game. My guess is, constant strafing and parry/deflect, then counter with the proper gun on higher difficulties
@ashifrahman4598 i liked to swap between weapons to make it look like I'm playing a movie, but constantly swapping like 7 weapons in like 3 seconds doesn't make the game look cinematic
Game looks DOPE! I loved DE but defensively it _did_ become automatic after a while. So long as you were moving parallel to the enemy and tapping dash often enough, that's all you needed to survive! Dodging projectiles looks more deliberate in this one ^^
Why are people worried about lack of mobility? I love Eternal but you never get the feel your playing a demon slayong demigod. I want to feel like im going against an entire army and be able to charge right in and rip and tear until its done. And with this it looks like ill finally get my wish.
@chewdoom8415 when i saw all those enemies lined up that made me cream. A one man army going against a literal army. Open battlefields instead of small arenas. Charging through instead of jumping and swinging around. Melee actually doing something now instead of an Imp taking a punch from the Slayer and being like "I aint hear no bell" lol. Instead if a jet youre a got damn freight train and im in love
