We think some of the complaints about Doom Eternal are baffling. If you don't like the game, that's perfectly fine. To each their own. The game isn't perfect but we are curious if some players just don't understand the mechanics.
- The gameplay is designed to keep you moving. Enemies are a source of resources. Glory kill to get health. Use the chainsaw to get ammo. Use the flame belch to get armor. The game teaches you all of this in the beginning. The pickups are helpful but it's obvious there's not enough lying around for each encounter. Take what you need from the enemies which is even stated as one of the tips on the loading screens.
Did you play Doom 2016? That's where the "push forward" combat system was introduced. If you hang back or stand around in one spot for too long, you're an easy target. Eternal gives you more ways to get around and acquire resources.
Did you enjoy Doom 2016? Because this is more of the same with some new mechanics. Did you expect a different combat system? If so, what gave you that idea? Genuinely curious.
- Movement is pretty fluid. You run, dash, and jump. Platforming is not that difficult. Climbing was never a problem for me. Dash to a pitted wall to grab it easily. You shouldn't have to climb pitted walls during encounters. Jump or dash to a bar and you automatically swing from it. It's not complicated. You can even spend Praetor Suit Points to make things easier.
Despite the arena styled encounters, there's a lot of reasons to explore. The classic games encouraged exploration, too. Look for the cheat codes. They make finding everything and completing secret encounters a lot easier and don't affect progression. You can use them in any already completed missions.
Are you playing with a controller or KB&M? I played using the latter so maybe there are issues with controllers? Do people just hate the platforming?
- Complaints about the menus and UI are just odd. They're both pretty straightforward. The main menu is pretty clear, the HUD is clean, and the dossier contains everything you need to know. Arsenal, suit, codex, and map are not that hard to figure out.
- I agree some of the weapons sound weak. But in terms of gunplay, I think the good outweighs the bad. It's awesome. You can rip enemies apart with gunfire and that is visually reflected.
- Some enemies do feel spongey, yes. Spongey enemies were a thing in the classic games, too. Several foes have weak points in Eternal. Use that to your advantage.
Feel free to respond and elaborate on some of the complaints. We're just trying to understand.
I played through it with a controller on UV just had to rebind dash on left analog stick tho. But other then that i had no problems with aming or Quick switching between weapons. I don’t understand Why People have alot of problems with the Marauder, learn he’s moves set and blast him with SSG And Balista.
@@xSpooKee The Marauder isn't that bad once you figure out the best weapons to use against him. However, trying to focus on him with other enemies attacking you can be a pain because taking him down works differently than that of most enemies.
Most of the time you can quickly aim your crosshair at the most appropriate threat in the moment. The Marauder requires some actual attention, focus, and properly timed shots as opposed to other foes. And his ability to block EVERYTHING is a bit much in my opinion.
Gaming Pastime yeah. On the last level Where you have to fight Marauder, where there are gargoles and Prowlers, he can get a bit annoying on that level.
@@xSpooKee I thought the encounter with him in Nekravol was a bitch. It's in that narrow hallway area and he's accompanied by a Whiplash.
Gaming Pastime oh yesh. Yeah that one, tend to do on that fight just lock on rocket luncher or freeze bomb Whiplash. And then focus on Marauder after. But Whiplash’s in general are more annoying then Marauder imo lol 😂
I love that unlike every other CZcamsr whose content revolves around trends, memes and clickbait, you review old classics regardless of how popular or trendy they are.
But seeing you reviewing a legit new game is nice. ;-)
But memes are funneh

@@vdayucla cats memes arre dead
@@Blue-jl1yq | "Cats" memes will never not be funny, same way the old "Sonic" trailer will never not be terrifying.
Great comment. Review what you like, itll be here for the forseeable future. Trendhopping gets old. Gaming pastime rocks!
Been waiting for y'all review of Doom Eternal. Thanks for the review and the great content Gaming Pastime
A good way to make the Maradaur easier is to super shotgun him when he has an opening, immediately switch to ballista and shoot him with that, and end with one more super shotgun blast. You have to be quick, and it may be easier on a keyboard than a controller, but it can take him down very quickly.
Binding the SSG and Ballista to the mousewheel is INSANELY helpful and is pretty much needed on the master levels.
Marauders can also be stunned with grenades.
Just found your channel, love your review style and how you are even reviewing entire series and old games.
And you're actually doing quite in-depth reviews as well. Good stuff.
wow i was just checking your channel for the eternal review and here it is!
Brilliant review as always Gaming Pastime ive been super excited to hear your opinion on this given your past reviews for the doom series. I am Glad you enjoyed it ! . Thank you for continuing to bring us content during this hard time given all that is going on and i hope you are well. Amazing review !
Honestly one of the best reviews I've ever seen.
I think I really cool feature to introduce me in the next game is more variety in enemies. I don’t mean more enemies, I mean the same but with different appearances. Like a baron with one horn. Or a zombieman missing half his head.
You make the best Reviews 👍
You are the first one I see that prefers the microwave beam mod over the heatblast lol
Great review btw
You guys have the best reviews 👍🎮
Not a single review so far has mentioned that you can recenter the weapons under the screen. Good job.
Quick switch between the ballista and super shotgun to absolutely wreck the marauder. 10 seconds is all you need.
Could you do a very, VERY obscure childhood FAVORITE of mine, Star Crusader?
Good work dude this is a review done right
Hey man unrelated but I just subbed to you cause of your Twisted Metal reviews 😆 I too am a hardcore fan and share a LOT of the same views 😃
A must have
I found destroying the Cyber Mancubus' armor was more of a bait, because he does the AoE instantly
Meathook -> Punch -> Dash backwards, works wonders.
Man, I REALLY hope they do more with master levels. Beat Arc Complex/Cultist Base on nightmare master. Looking forward to a Mars Core or Super Gore Nest version... come to think of it, any added master levels would be awesome.
I still wonder why they didn't have entire set ready to go at launch. Unsure if they will swap out current ones or just keeping adding more.
@@Gamingpastime64 Well, I really hope it's the latter. I don't personally like the idea of having different sets every few weeks. Excited to see what they do anyways.
Gaming pastimes is an awesome channel and Doom Eternal is amazing
when i was playing an online game with someone on xbox one, we were talking about this game, and he said "i dont know why this game is only a weekend play through when doom eternal was pushed back", which is true on how it was pushed back, cause doom eternal was suppose to be the 25th anniversary of the doom series, but no doubt got pushed back due to limitations at the time of fall 2019
How much do you love slayer that you mention them every time metal comes up?! Don’t get me wrong though, slayer is probably my favourite band those old albums are just the best (figure of speech)
Hey man what happened to your cod2 video????
I absolutely love this freaking game. Pc version, do not understand how you can play this on a console? I have an Xbox pad I might see what it’s like after playing with mouse and keyboard. I totally get how this game is supposed to be played my adrenaline runs high when I play and I freaking love it!!!!
Love this game. That being said I feel like the unmaker is really underpowered. The BFG kills more where as the unmaker you need to focus on a specific enemy. Also the crucible is a wasted opportunity. The fact you need pick ups to charge it means you can't go back and use it in the earlier missions which kind of sucks. Wish it recharged through demon kills like the soul cube in doom 3. Also I can't wait for the upcoming dlc!
P.s. you rock
If you found cheats, you can go back to previous missions and use the Crucible.
@@Gamingpastime64 I did. I meant the crucible pick ups. I don't like playing with cheats lol
i like how i played with completely different runes:
-speed on glory kills
-faster CD of nades and flamethrower on kills
-more controll in air
Nice. I rocked slow mo (it kinda fills in for air controls) longer staggers for glory kills since I would basically run around the arena picking off the staggered demons I would leave and finally I used speed boos on glory kill to just go around like a mad man.
But I thought the game force people to play one way? (Sarcasm)
Did you also bought the new Animal Crossing game for Switch?
Yes, actually.
11:57 Me when someone says Animal Crossing is not as intense as DOOM
How's this an idea for DLC? Doomslayer takes Isabelle on an adventure to slay demons.

Finally lol
Doom eternal came out almost around the same time as covid 19 :/
No, it didn't
Joe Mason not the same day but the same month in America. I know in China it was in dec.
Damn dude, now I don't know what to get, Doom Eternal or Covid 19
@@VonBoche get covid 19 is more mainstream the whole world is crazy about it right now & has positive reviews. Doom Eternal is now even close 2 holding up a candle 2 it
Doom Eternal is like an icecream sandwich, its delicious and satisfying but I always want more! lol
Master levels - Bethesda = Micro transaction
Don’t want to be that guy but, first
It's hard for me to understand that not a small group of people dislike this game.
Too bad, Bethesda decided to put absolutely BOLLOCKS regional pricing on Steam.
It costs MORE THAN THREE TIMES than other $60 tagged games.
A stellar campaign, to be sure. But even if the subject was lightly touched on it needs to be reiterated: Neither Doom 2016 nor Eternal have any mod support.
I have heard nothing about Id or Bethesda/Zenimax having interest in providing mod support for the new titles. And in a franchise as synonymous with the modding community as Doom, completely forgoing mod-support for multiplayer longevity is heresy.

@@vilapimpducky4626 you fucking know it baby

@@SPL1NGYDUDE Go back to reddit with your gay template jokes.
@@terryballzak9997 but your salt is so much fun! Why would I stop now?
I wished they would have just buffed the overall hp of the marauder instead of giving the players such a small window of opportunity to actually hit the bastard. I swear every time I fight the marauder I end up just bouncing around the environment avoiding his attack desperately hoping he'll do his green eye attack, which he seems to never actually want to perform. For a doom game it slows down the pacing by a substantial degree.
My biggest complaints with the game is how toonish it feels and how everything is overly explained.
"yOu CaN TuRn It OfF."
No... you can't turn everything off. Some stuff like chainsaw loot is still a rainbow explosion.
Tutorials should have been an option that is given at the start. I shouldn't have had to dig through the options to find them.
I'm entitled to dislike the game. Sorry I'm not bowing and praising this game, but if you have not beaten the game on Nightmare like I have then you probably aren't going to be able to use "gEt GuD" on me either.
I like the game and agree with you entirely. Doom 2016 got the perfect tone in my opinion. The demon models look better in 2016 in my opinion (the ones present in both). Just look at the revenant and tell me 2016 isn't better. I know it's a higher texture and geometry with destructible models, but there's something about 2016 models that look better. I don't know if it's the lighting, subsurface scattering, or the colouring, but the design itself seems better, at least to me.
EpicPrimeTime I actually love it’s color and toonish feel. IMO I’m tired of everything having to be ultra-realistic. To me it’s okay for things to have a sense of character and style. And while I do agree to some extent on the over explanations, the fact that many people still don’t utilize the chainsaw and complain about ammo when it’s one of the first things the game shows and tells you is ironic. My only issue is that they kinda stop the pacing of the game but other than that they’re fine. Honestly I feel that it’s an improvement from 2016 in every way, but that is my opinion
Go play call of duty then bitch
You don't understand what fun is, don't you?
You are the only reviewer who mentioned the weak gun sounds, thank you! I think the Doom reboots have the weakest gunplay and sounds in the genre, the biggest reason why i have refunded it. I don't care if a big name is slapped on the box, gunplay and feel is the most important part of a shooter. The machinegun is the biggest joke. It sounds like wet farts and the shotgun is almost inaudible when the music starts. On top of that, the weapons feel weak, have no recoil or feedback and just lack oomph, as you have mentioned. Even Rage 2 dis it better where even the pistol was satisfying. The super mario platforming is just the cherry on top. I'd rather replay D64 but I don't feel like giving my money to ID or Bethesda anymore, the port of it was good though but also refunded since it was part of the Eternal preorder
Well I think the feedback and recoil are fine. Some weapons just sound weak. Overall, I think the gunplay is great.
You don't know what fun is, don't you?
No music review? wow, my first review I don't like. rip
What?
@@jamstonjulian6947 Did he mention the music or is everyone in complete agreance that its too good to even be talked about.
@@darodism I mean if you're into that type of rock and roll shit. I'm not into rock and roll so the music didn't mean nothing to me. I turned the music off and played my own music on my Bluetooth speaker in the background.
@@pp3k3jamail Its not rock, nor is it rock and roll though. Mick Gordon uses elements of it but it wasn't the end result of the OST. Wait so you changed the formality of what something made to be a certain way? Did you not see the Doom Eternal Tv Spot Fail??? I bet you listen to stupid rap, hip hop that has no reason to be part of Doom. Here Look at the reviews. ITS DOG SHIT you can't even understand half the shit he's saying not singing, and the last part says "we're GAY!!!" of course rap music would say we're gay because it is gay

Cartoony graphics ( just like doom 2016 )
I personally just could not get any enjoyment out of this game. I wanted to like it, but I hated many of the new elements so much. I was fine with the double-jump and grabbing up onto ledges, but the addition of the wall-climbing and bar-swinging turned me off. Doom 2016 had more ammo capacity, and this game gives you less capacity and then forces the player to constantly do glory kills and chainsaw attacks to refill ammo, health, armor, etc. I just hated it. I did like the enemy design and the shooting mechanics and love the damage models to enemies (like the music too), but the circus act of bar-swinging & dashing and enemy pinatas with neon colored candy (ammo) just pissed me off. I'm NOT saying the game is bad, just that its not for me (not my cup of tea).
Also, another aspect of the game that pissed me off was how the game one day out of the blue booted me to sign up for Bethesda's network and would NOT let me exit out of it. I don't play On-line and only ever play SP off-line, but one day the game just booted me to a screen that wanted me to sign up for Bethesda's crap service and there was no way to exit out of it. I tried everything, including turning it off and turning it back on again, but it wouldn't let me exit the screen. The only options were to sign in to Bethesda's account or to sign up (new account), but nothing else. I turned the game off and have zero desire to ever pick it up and play ever again. F#@% Bethesda!
Its really not that serious. Just sign up for a damn Bethesda account. It's not like it's gonna kill you Jesus Christ. Yall whine so much. You could've just pressed skip and not have access to the multi-player options, like I did.
It wouldn't let me skip it. There was no option to skip. And I DON'T want to sign up for Bethesda net. When a game forces me, then its not a game I want to play.
@@paranoyd70 get over it. You just type in a email and password. It takes 1 minute it's not like you're gonna die. And I had a skip button so Idk what you were doing. Stop acting like a baby over it and saying the game is ruined and you don't wanna play it because you gotta sign up for something.
I think you need to get over trying to make everyone see things the way you do. I don't like something and here you are trying to belittle me to do things the way you would. And you don't see how you're acting like an ass.
Shawn M yea because you totally aren’t commenting about how annoying it is to sign in which is super easy to try and complain to be annoying and find someone who agrees with you. Shut up and suck it up. It’s signing in. Deal with it. You do it in every single account you’ve ever made in your entire life
You mistakenly called The Doomslayer as "he". Gods must be referred to as "they"
Doom 2016 - greatest surprise of the year, after that development who would expect that.
Doom Eternal - greatest disappointment of the year, who would expect that after such a great entry?
"Greatest disappointment this year." Maybe for your delusional hyperbole infested mind but in everyone else's mind they recognize it for what it is a mechanically superior game in virtually every way
@@terryballzak9997 Maybe for new players or delusional hyperbole minds that think bigger=better and accept platforming in a Doom game. Superior my ass.
@@terryballzak9997 "delusional hyperbole infested mind" the manners and the mentality of fanboys attacking and lashing out at everyone who doesn't agree speaks volumes for itself with you as a prime example.
Why do you think that??? Just curious
@@ReadyAimFire_ You do realize Doom 3 was made by Carmack and had platforming right dipshit? Or are you now going to suggest the creator had no clue how to make his own game?
the story is more gow than doom and the gameplay is unnecessarily complicated and has obtuse and horribly designed ui and gameplay.gotta love how weak you feel when like your smacking a dude when giving a full force punch they added soo more unecessary gimmicks plus im not even gonna talk about the shitty platform yeah its def a very flawed but fun game
I couldn't agree with you more bud, Eternal is trash in my opinion and even doom 2016 is a lot better.
I don't see it
Eternal was awesome
Better than Doom 3, worse than any other Doom game.
Trash game, 2016 was way better they took out everything that made it doom and now its diablo 4.
What are you TALKING about!?!
You're entitled to your opinion.
But your opinion is trash.
Trash opinion
@Smugglerscomedy Just pirate the game, bethesda are so utterly retarded and incompetent that they released a DRM free version all you have to do is open the exe up in a hex editor and change a line of code so it doesn't ask for your Methesda account when you start the game. I played through the game with no issues this way and didn't waste my money.
Dude infighting doesn't even damage demons anymore. people say there are more options now but i disagree entirely now you just have to play the way ID tells you to play. 2016 had similar mechanics while retaining the oldschool doom feeling. This piece of shit game has bright rainbow colours and unicorn praetor suit and floating guns and giant question marks all over the place. Its like playing fucking diablo.
@Smugglerscomedy i just wasn't sure if i wanted to elaborate more so i was gonna put it in a new reply then just said fuck it and put it back the way it was.
