I feel obligated to post from the perspective of someone who actually played it versus people who are parroting criticisms from other anons all of which relates to the general contrariness and hyperinsularity of Holla Forums which creates antihype groupthink when it's inappropriate as a defense mechanism against all the times AAA hype has been worthy of contempt.
Other anons are "sharing their lived experiences", So I'm encouraging anons who may be lurking to actually play it rather than rely entirely upon the advice of curmudgeons who get triggered by anything that isn't a .wad
Discuss whatever but I think the anons who haven't actually played it shouldn't post. There're anons in here that know what they're talking about when they dislike it/criticize it and I'd rather see those posts, they have higher informational value.
this guy only played the first level and forgot what Doom/Doom2 were actually like. He definitely didn't make it to multiplayer where the negative traits of 'arena bullshit' are all positives.
this user is making people think that no one plays multi, which is untrue. The only people that mindlessly consume games and discard them immediately regardless of their quality are normalfags who play CoD or BF or whatever.
this user played it but I strongly disagree with
No one plays games to fucking reload. If they do they play Arma. Melee overfocus would be net negative (we really just needed a slide kick button in FEAR) and ironsights are inferior to a bloomless reticle in every way.
You will enjoy later levels even more, user, if you like the mobility combined with the layouts.
who gives a shit about the story. I doubt this user played it.
this user is correct, i'm not reading that autistic wall of text.
this user played it and didn't like it. there are long stretches of non combat, sometimes you go five minutes without fighting shit. I think some pacing is needed or else you just get exhausted as a player.
the lore is cancer but it's thankfully optional
play more than the demo. progression is pretty irrelevant and the glory kills shouldn't be a dealbreaker for you if you're good enough not to depend on them for ammo/armor/health. there's also a rune you can equip that speeds them up tremendously.
another 'played the demo, hated it' guy. this is a fair opinion to have before the game is released since the demo was provided for you to make a consumer judgment in the first place, but we're past that now.
OP caring about story, lol
