I’m glad I’m not the only one with that criticism. I enjoyed the first game so much more because of that.

What I didn’t like about Eternal was being forced to use specific weapons to kill certain enemies. For me this kind of shooters are all about use “the right tool for the job”. If I fancy using the two barrels shotgun from start to finish, just let me do so.

I guarantee you that would be boring as fuck.
Might as well play with cheats on if you just don’t want to think at all. Thankfully, Doom Eternal has them in the game, you just need to unlock them.

Nah, the only times I want to play doom are when I want to turn my brain off. Shoot moving thing. Great success.

It’s a good thing Doom 2016 exists then.

For me Doom 2016 was a hugely more enjoyable experience than Eternal. 2016 is arguably one of the greatest linear single player shooters ever made. Eternal felt like a chore once you had all the tools unlocked and I lost interest shortly after.

When you want to win an internet argument so badly that you miss the point on purpose.
PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 4 months ago
That isn’t the point. The point is you shouldn’t feel shoehorned into playing a specific intended route. Doom is about turning off your brain and slaying.

Some guns are better for different situations, but most guns are useful in any situation.
Why’s that boring? It sounds better than rock-paper-scissors with different guns

Doom II wasn’t boring.

If you could play through all of Doom II using only the super shotgun without constantly running out of ammo you were playing on easy.
LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 4 months ago
Okay, so while you can’t literally use nothing but the SSG for the entirety of Doom II (especially since you don’t get it until MAP02), you can comfortably use it at least 90% of the time on UV. Shells are plentiful throughout the game.

Doesn’t suck - GM
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Nah. Go try out Enchain, you only have one gun for the game but it works pretty damn well.

Sounds more like an “easy mode” thing. Have certain enemies immune to certain guns on the harder difficulties. Want to just use the shotgun? Play easy mode. Want to be more strategic? Play a harder difficulty.
