I have noticed it's not always the best at explaining things. Like with the first buff totem where it tells you enemies will keep spawning until it's destroyed. So I died several times running around trying to find it, only to discover you have to kill the enemies before it reveals itself.

That’s only for the first one, and only because it’s in the teleporter room.

Which is exactly how Doom 2016 started, and nobody complained about that. Hell 2016 was even worse in that regard because you don't even get to fight the Hell Knight until the 3rd level; until then you fight nothing but imps, soldiers, and zombies. I get the feeling the people complaining about Eternal being repetitive quit early on because once you get to the Cultist Base and have the Super Shotgun and rocket launcher and have to deal with a fuckton of enemies, then the game really opens up.

Exactly, people are having rose-tinted glasses for a Doom 2016. I don't even know how, its only 4 years old.

2016's combat is basically just stand still guass cannon siege mode everything big and then super shotty everything you miss.
 
The buff totems were probably the worse single thing in the game, so it's no wonder they appear so rarely. They are just a glorified treasure hunt that on harder difficulties come down to RNG whether you'll be mauled to death before you reach them.

I'd argue the purple slime is the single worst thing in the game because of how slow you move and the game loves hiding tentacles and occasionally siccing enemies like Hell Knights and Arachnotrons at you. It's so frustrating because you can't even dash or jump; it's artificially difficult by means of a handicap.
 
Marauders are the worst thing in the game for me. Had to lower the difficulty after dying a dozen+ times to the fight after you retrieve your sword. Fighting him alone was bad, trying to fight him in the same arena as prowlers, a cyber mancubus and dread knight was the first time the game just felt unfair.

Amazingly somehow my first Marauder fight went super well, I killed him without dying..I am just stuck on the Slayer gate in that level.

That awful Slayer gate. There are Tyrants..and Snakes, and Fat fucks..and a Hunter.

Edit : HAHA I BEAT IT, FUCK YOU TYRANTS!

So I figured out how to make the most of the meat hook and suddenly I'm having ten times more fun than before. Jump at the right time when hooking a demon and you get massive air time. It's stupidly addictive. Even better when you get the flaming meathook mod and each enemy you hook can be turned into an impromptu armor piñata.

The thing with Tyrants is that you’re fine so long as you keep moving. They’re slow, fairly inaccurate, and make for very big targets. All the Superheavy Demons are force multipliers, but those are honestly the least dangerous.

Yeah but trying to kill all the heavies while avoiding getting a chip shot ("chip shot" on nightmare LUL) was rough.

Found a pretty good video about the multiplayer that gives it a lot more credit than a lot of people seem to.

Battlemode is actually pretty damn fun (except when its lagging and I die because all the resources from glory kills take about 30 seconds to pop out of the dead demon)

Plz Id fix the online connections
 
Btw, is it me being a console peasant or the snakes are absolute bastards to hit? Also them and the Arch Viles have a type of attack where the cycle left and right and like an idiot I get hit by the first and then dodge into the second.

Ice Bombs and the rocket launcher are your best friends regardless of platform. The microwave gun would be too if ot wasn’t the worst weapon mod in the game.

If I recall what kills it completely is making movement slower which is a death sentence. The low damage doesn't help, you basically sacrifice your mobility to being able to stand and kill a single enemy.
