Forum Overview :: DOOM

THIS is what everyone was putting on their GotY list? Is this like Force Awakens where the previous franchise entry was so bad that a mere baseline level of competence was enough to make everyone gush over it? Between this and everyone saying Wolfenstein was outstanding, I think the bar for FPS has been broken.

Plink enemies with guns (whoever designed the pistol needs to be fired) until they flash a neon blue mesh like the TRON digitization scene, then press F for the same one quicktime execution animation over and over. You might remember Doom as blowing enemies into blood and chunks. Well you were WRONG!

You might think you could avoid the glory hole kills and just shoot dudes. Yeah...no. Enemy attacks are way too fast to dodge most of the time so you're going to keep eating hits. But that's okay! Because the the glory hole system restores health!

And that's the problem, they designed and balanced the entire game around constantly using glory holes. You're constantly getting hit. You can only hold 20 shots for a gun. But that's okay as long as you keep glory killing 90% of the enemies.

I just want to fucking shoot stuff uninterrupted. 90s Doom had easy to dodge shit, but filled the levels up with tons of shit to overwhelm you. 2016 Doom can only throw a couple enemies at a time at you, so they compensate by making everything too fast to dodge. If a "plink" sound plays in my head every time I kill an enemy, you have failed at making a Doom game.

I literally spent 20 times longer downloading it than I spent playing it before I got bored. Most overrated game of 2016 hands down.
