“You've probably heard by now that DOOM Eternal originally had a pistol and YES it's still in the game and accessible via console commands (with Cheat Engine) I've heard it was scrapped because it didn't really fit the combat flow. Still pretty sweet looking. https://t.co/FZFmrhQwCB”

Looks like the SMG from the Doom cover art.

What's interesting here is that this one actually used up bullet ammo while the pistol from 2016 had infinite ammo. Personally, I think Eternal might have benefited more from a weak, unlimited ammo pistol than 2016. There were moments in Eternal where I was facing a small group of zombies and I really didn't want to waste resources on them, what with the lower ammo pool and all and the basic melee attacks not being worth shit. At the same time, it might have broken the whole resource management thing if all you could do is whip out a pistol to take out some fodder enemies.

I'll leave Ultra Nightmare to the adults.

Ultra nightmare was bad enough in 2016. Doing ultra nightmare in Doom Eternal... abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Shit, I remember when I was gunning for it in 2016. I beat Kadingir Sanctum, the toughest level in the game, only to die in Destroyed Argent Facility, by all accounts the easiest level in the game. Had to be the most frustrated I’ve ever been with a video game. Fucking Pinkies.

I dare you to watch it without physically tensing up.

I'm pretty certain that responding to the negative reactions of a review by shaming people is a fairly poor idea.

It's kinda like stomping on a hornet's nest you accidently knocked down, it's just gonna make those hornets even more pissed.
 
So I finally got it tonight.

I will admit that the early game is real slow, and..there are a few too many abilities, but those are nitpicks I can eventually get all the abilities down to muscle memory. My big actual complaint is that they nerfed the Glory Kill drops to put in the chainsaw, it feels awkward as heck compared to the smoothness of "keep momentum going by glory killing things and refilling health and ammo, but if you get in real deep shit bust out the chainsaw."

That ratio... ouch

I used to like Upper until I released he is a whiney prick. The dude also made comments leading me to believe that he is a socialist/marxist. He was rambling about "late stage capitalism and talking about voting in the Democrat primary in some videos. I unsubscribed after this. Glad to see I made the right choice since he can make garbage reviews then has the gall to bitch at his viewers when he gets called out.

Wow, it's just like the one from Brutal Doom but reversed. Aim to fire single shots and burst fire is the standard instead of vice versa.

Should have definitely been in the game for getting lighter enemies ready for glory kills without wasting resources, but whatever.
 
not sure if this was posted before. but i wanted to reveal this.

it's possible to play the classic DOOM 1 and 2 on doom eternal. go to the old DOS computer in Doomguy's personal quarters.

to unlock DOOM 1, you need to collect all of the floppy discs from the campaign

and unlocking DOOM 2 requires a password. that password is FLYNNTAGGART.


i'm liking this game even more. we basically got 3 games from this one game. doom 1, doom 2, and doom 64.
 
Finish off heavily wounded enemies with it for a quick, meaty burst of power. Unforti ately its up against the heat blast which is objectively better.

Also, I'm watching Markipliers play through and he's so endearing when it comes to DOOM. None of the fake screaming or silly faces in other videos, just one man enjoying the shit out of a franchise he loves.

The thing is that you already have a shitload of aoe burst options, and it locking things in place is superceded by the ice bomb doing it better without having to hold down the fire button.

Everyone agree that microwave beam is the worst mod? Maybe they could change it to a lightning gun?

I don't know how I did it but I almost always got the worst weapon mods. The shotty doesn't count but I unlocked the missiles first for the machine gun. And they're great AFTER you've fully upgraded the mod. Before that, it's pretty rough and you need the sniper mod for Revnants and Mancubus. Then I got the microwave beam for the Plasma first. Avoided the crappy mod for the rocket launcher, locking on is clearly superior. But got the wide beam for the arbalist which is crap because you can't move for several seconds and just isn't effective against tougher demons.

The blade is very strong once you get incremental charge. They were probably really paranoid about the ballista’s balance due to the guass cannon being OP in 2016.
