    hugo did say also that this is basically the codex entries in Eternal, turned into a game
    so it stops being just a side read material and fully fleshed out game
    so i guess if you read most if not all the codex entries, you will know pretty much everything happening in this
    personally interested about the new gameplay loop, and thinking that since this game is basically trying to fill the gaps of the trilogy, i'd imagine that the gap between 2016 and eternal will be dlc
    samuel sending you to sentinel prime, considering he's familiar with the planet, and you make your way back to your hometown there to reclaim the fortress as you try to track him down and the hell priests once you find out, or vega tells you their location and the invasion on earth
    this way you can finally tell the whole story for good and be done with it until the slayer is needed again... hopefully not so soon because i need a new quake so badly haha

    My only wish is that they focus less on the story than in Eternal, because it was often so drawn-out and honestly boring, with everyone practically fellating Doom Slayer with their words and talking about how awesome and powerful he is.

That's why Hugo falsely markets it as "classic Doom", they are trying to bring back the disappointed players. There is a good chance this game will be a hit, but with the lowest sales in the trilogy.

    I've seen that argument a few times already about Eternal being a bit prescriptive and I never understood it. Perhaps it's playing community made levels that shook up my style but there's a lot of on-the-fly thinking involved in Eternal IMO. And yeah the base game doesn't really ask it a lot, but TAG1 (and 2 to some extent) definitely require it. I'd say the main issue (solved by community levels) is that you don't really need to use EVERY tool in your arsenal to get by even in Nightmare. You could ignore the blood fist and still finish the game and DLCs, or ignore one of the grenade types and be fine, same with weapon switching, meathook/chainsaw combo and so on. But once you start fluidly chaining those together exactly when you need to it's just fantastic.
    Mind you I personally love 2016 equally. It's very different, but I just love both games equally (and the og ones almost equally as well !).
    I wouldn't mind seeing a semi-open world structure as long as it's done well and reinforces the combat. But a lot of those battlefields definitely look very open. This leaves room for optional nail-biting hard events in the world and maybe some "metroidvania-esque" level design. Can't wait to see what they do with the whole formula, but clearly it's gonna be amazing if they don't screw it up !

    • @colbyboucher6391

      Yeah, the thing about doing your own thing in Eternal is that you need to think of it a little like someone going down a skill tree in an ARPG. What do you need to happen to the demons, what ways can you get there, you kinda need to think through what you're doing ahead of time and your options aren't very obvious. They already tutorialize so much and they would've needed to do MORE of that for everyone to get it. (Also, holy shit, Eternal is the most stressful game I've played in my life. That probably factored in as well.)

    • @DevilBlackDeath

Showing that you can combine freeze + hook + chainsaw to get all resources at once, hook maneuverability, switching to shield when finishing a glory kill, showing different basic combos to build an intuition (once you learn to punch + SSG + ballista + triple rocket a Doom Hunter and call it a day on its sorry hide, that feels so good).

    Less of a Doom and more of an Elden Ring to be honest, just without the difficulty spike. Personally i haven't been interested in Doom ever since its 2016 iteration. It just lost a lot of charm for me, but it is cool that some find it still fun. I just feel like it keeps being more and more snappy, fast pace but ultimately too easy of a walkthrough, just flashy walk in a park. Movement is the most floaty i have ever seen which i guess some are into? But it lacks that impact. Doomguy is like this beast of a guy and yet he moves around like a tooth fairy and now has a personal dragon too x D
    Don't know, just not into it and that's okay. Thanks for covering though!

    The only thing that I'm feelin kinda worried is the level design, It's too serious sam like.
    Which, tbh, put an arena full of monsters to kill it's Serious Sam in the core and what it have been done a lot in 2016 and eternal.
    But I don't want it to be the whole game. Give me some mazes to get lost like in the good old days
