This is pretty much the peak of the fps genre, how can id improve this for their next game?

I've been playing FPS since they were invented and this game made the whole genre feel fresh again
I'd like to see them bring out a new main Quake title but really focus on making the deathmatch tight

I literally only see posts loving this game or absolutely shitting on it. Why is it so divisive?

there's no room for nuance on this fucking hellscape of a website. Something is either amazing 10/10 GOTYAY or irredeemable shit that should get the creators lynched
no in between

>the latest game in one of the oldest and most famous FPS series
>does a lot of things differently from every other FPS on the market
>if you don't get it, you end up hating it
>if you do, it's fun and addictive as fuck

Obligatory

I’m by no means a hardcore Doom player but in my book they should have three weapons for the majority of the game: assault rifles, shotgun, and super shotgun with grapple hook. The AR in Eternal sucks dick. I don’t want to change 10000 weapons or use the chainsaw every 5 minutes. I want actual strategy, using the environment, playing dominos with enemies. Eternal was a step in the right direction but still needs work. And no Kaiju shit and a more metal story. Thanks Hugo.

its way too formulaic with boring level design

even half life 1 surpassed it like 20 years ago. it plays a lot less like doom and more like a gimped quake with DMC level design.

Doom Eternal is designed to filter those who don't like it.

>they should have three weapons for the majority of the game:
No thanks, bro. I'm fed up with 3 weapon limit during 7th gen

>muh assault rifles in Doom
Tom Hall, you were fired for a reason. Heavy Cannon is fine. It's satisfying to kill fodder or prep them for glory kills because every bullet is a big fat glowing projectile and they react satisfyingly to every hit.

>The Doom Slayer is sent from Heaven to Slay the Khanj Ngahugjr Demons From Hell Because They Are Harvesting Hell Energy To Open A Portal To A New Planet So Doom Slayer (or Doomguy depending on what level you're playing) Has To Kill Two Of The Three Hell Priests Of Khargn Nigur With A Special Weapon And Also There Are Angels And 20 Different Doom Slayer Guys And Here's His Blood Type

Wasn't this a franchise about killing demons?

Mindbroken

HL1 didn't surpass shit, it's a completely different game focused on cinematic moment and immersive experience. It's a fine game, but you don't get the kind of complex combat scenarios from it, most enemies only really exist for story reasons.

Imagine my surprise

sage

There are normal weapons and then there are super weapons. The super weapons only exist to kill damage sponge enemies and enemies specifically designed for those weapons uses. By letting the player use them all the time, they cease to be special and noobs can just spam them. Eternal’s biggest problem is enemies are seldom aggressive and let you kill them, again unless they are specifically designed to do so. Starting with a 3 weapon limit forces them to maximize the utility out of them like how thenAR attachment is a de facto sniper. Again, Eternal was a good start but no where deep enough.

I hate that "loop" has become such a common phrase for people these days to describe anything involving gameplay whatsoever. "Combat Loop", "Progression loop", "Reward Loop", the list goes on and it genuinely feels like publishers trying to make things seem more complex than they actually are. Eternal was OK but it felt like they were trying to appeal a certain audience who never had any knowledge of Doom outside of those Steam reviews and Youtube comments that are like
>doomguy: enters room
>demons: confused screaming
>hayden: stop stop hear him out
>doomguy: it ain't much but it's honest work
>hell priests: surprised pikachu face
>angels: heavy metal music starts playing

It never felt organic and I miss that from the older games

How did you like my dopefish in Eternal bitch?

I can't decipher what the fuck you're trying to say, so don't embarrass yourself by accusing anyone of being an ESL

I always like dopefish, though I never played Keen. First encountered it in Max Payne, I think.

>yfw next id game isn't qVake but Commander Keen reboot/sequel

How about returning original ammo capacities so you aren't constantly out of ammo?

>there are both stronger and weaker weapons in an FPS
>and you want to use stronger weapons on stronger enemies
wtf eternalbros... we got p0wned...

Nah, limited ammo is fine and if you aren't playing in a dumb way you don't even run out that often.

Was there really any reason to give Doomguy a voice?

I loved Keen and have been heartbroken ever since the final trilogy became vaporware.

They don’t make you think. They make you think, let me switch to my rocket launcher where I can splash damage enemies even if I suck. The only interactivity in the game world is with you and the mouse wheel. Heaven forbid the game design beyond Hugo’s artificial funzone.

this, it sucks
