So another linear game series going semi-openworld. I’m hoping this turns out well but I’m getting some serious shades of Halo Infinite here.
I liked the Halo Infinite campaign. I didn’t like the annoying Cortana replacement, but I enjoyed the campaign anyway.
Halo Infinite’s campaign was mildly enjoyable and the grappling hook was a small idea that was fun. But, the amount of money they spent to achieve that “mildly enjoyable” game was staggering.
I loved the first two dooms so please, do focus on single player.
One of the few games I bought way after I pirated it.
I am very happy with this! As an original Doom player, I would often like to explain to younger gamers that the whole zoomer-shooter thing came later with Q3 and the like and that many of us played all the Doom titles much more calmly.
I am not a fan of multiplayer but “Martin did reveal in the Q&A that “exploration is a huge part of the game”, but it’s more of “an expanded linear experience” than true open world.” , so I am fine.
The only thing that I still fear will survive is all the candy-colored stuff popping out of monsters, which is needed when playing at a very high pace, but breaks the illusion for me.
Might be an unpopular take, but I’m not interested much in exploring in this case. I feel like the Doom Eternal gameplay was perfect for me - fast paced, fun and full of action with great visuals. Maybe I’m wrong and this turns out even better, but I feel like they nailed the formula with the last one.
I surely don’t want it to be filled with unskippable lore, multiple choice or RPG-stuff like the latest ACs. But a dark power metal-themed adventure with situations that can be addressed in different ways, I am all in.
My unpopular take would be that Doom (2016) looked much better than Eternal (too much neon/candy colors) and that Doom 3 and previous still look much better in atmosphere than both.
