It takes one lock on rocket burst to put it a glory kill state

noble moat
#

Then mancubus, again massive target. Slow. Free damage

#

Then Caco. Kinda lame overall. Sure it gets a free ranged instakill but eh

#

Harvester next for range
Spectre is bs
And my personal favorite is Revenant

I average 10+ kills every transformation. Great movement and damage

elder meadow
#

Summoner is a glass cannon, if I am not mistaken but for me, the weakest is the Mancubus, due to being slow and an easy target

noble moat
#

I mean strong hitting. Not strong as in physically strong.
It hits strong and summons demons. Making it a “strong” demon

flint dune
#

Honestly I like Pinky the most because of its speed. I sucked with Prowler so it worked as an alternative to my playstyle. Caco be pretty slow tho

elder meadow
#

I honestly died a lot every time I play as the Mancubus

noble moat
#

It’s too large and slow

flint dune
#

You’re a slow, fat target ^

elder meadow
#

Exactly, which is why I say the Mancubus is the weakest

noble moat
#

I loved facing those and barons because they hardly get kills

#

Hate facing spectres

Super fast, mostly invisible especially in the heat of battle
And most maps have hallways

elder meadow
#

Unless you have the power seeking rune, a Spectre/Pinky is a nightmare

flint dune
#

In terms of the worst playable demons, I’d say Mancubus, Baron and Prowler. Prowler’s good if you know how to use it, but the small health pool isn’t worth the speed and agility imo

noble moat
#

Small health and it’s kinda hard to aim / has less kills per minute potential

flint dune
#

Yeah

noble moat
#

Revenant and spectre and harvester are probably best for kills per minute

#

On average spectre seems to stay alive longest

flint dune
#

I forget, could you cloak whenever or was it automatic?

noble moat
#

Not sure I never used it

#

I quite enjoy 2016 multiplayer. Definitely more enjoyable than Cod multiplayer

But it’s not good enough for me to Pay for online purely for this game

flint dune
#

I think it was automatic...you’d have to stay out of combat for a little until you’d cloak again

#

Yeah I agree. I don’t find Battlemode as fun tbh

elder meadow
#

Automatic unless you have the Spectre attack

noble moat
#

My main 2 issues were Kinetic mines, and spectres.

Also invisibility was maybe a bit too op

#

It’s not like halos shimmering invisibility. It’s true invisibility.

flint dune
#

Yeah I could wipe out an enemy team with ease using specter

noble moat
#

Spectres always seem to just zoom in from a hallway kill 3 guys and disappear.

flint dune
#

Yeah lol, it’s fun to use tbh but unfair for the enemy team

noble moat
#

Sure you can dodge kinetic mines, but in stuff like freeze tag. Or any zone Type gamemode mines were a massive advantage

#

Just toss 4 mines in your sector and it’s secured unless half your team dies trying to claim it

#

One of my favorite parts was that instead of a rune you could choose Bounty.
100+ exp per kill. Which means every match I was getting 2000+ exp extra. Which was awesome for leveling up quickly

elder meadow
#

But the power seeking rune counters the Spectre’s invisibility since the Demon rune is a power item which allows you to see it despite it being invisible, possibly why I got shot at while invisible

noble moat
#

Yeah but I felt demons
(Besides pinky)

Where not a problem to worry about. So I’m not turning power seeker for a potential one demon

#

Especially since I can go a few matches never seeing one

elder meadow
#

Now with maps, the Spectre/Pinky is dominant on most of the maps, but I would say one map the Cacodemon is better than the Spectre the one where you are completely outside

#

But yeah the power seeker the best counter against an invisible enemy Spectre, along with kinetic mines that are placed over the monster to avoid being trampled since I think the bullrush can destroy kinetic mines

noble moat
#

Ok since I hear this a lot here it the price of switch

#

First Nintendo doesn’t set prices, the companies of the games do

#

Nintendo has missed out on years, YEARS. Of games.

And it can be safely assumed most nintendo owners only have Nintendo products, similar to how most people who own one brand of console usually stick with it

elder meadow
#

I really don’t care, the DOOM I got was a gift from my sister-in-law

noble moat
#

Companies use this to dictate, hey. Switch users have never been able to play doom before, so for them it’s a completly brand new game.

But also the cost of porting it cannot have Been easy

#

Regardless of what it is. Hell you can google Digital foundry Ion fury ports. And they even mention how an engine from the 90s has problems being ported to new consoles

#

The tax comes from the cost of cartridge, the cost of portability. And the new factor. The fact that most of these people never had a chance to buy it and now can

#

Especially doom 2016 must have taken quite a while to port it over

#

I’m not justifying the large costs on some of these ports. Just explaining them

elder meadow
#

Grant it, DOOM 2016 and DOOM ETERNAL are both reboots of DOOM 1 and 2 with extra cool stuff

#

DOOM ETERNAL let’s you kill more than just demons

noble moat
#

No spoilers. Still waiting for eternal to come out

#

And oh boy is this wait excruciating

elder meadow
#

That game came out a few months ago, not yet for the Switch though

noble moat
#

Oh trust me I know

#

Everyday for the past 2 months as soon as I wake up I check the news to see if a release date has been announced.
Then I check the eshop to see if it was stealth added to the coming soon area

elder meadow
#

I only remember the weapons though, including one from DOOM 64

#

The one and only weapon that is more powerful than the BFG 9000

noble moat
#

In doom 64 it’s stronger in eternal its not

elder meadow
#

The Unmakyr

#

It’s still a Demon’s worst nightmare, but back to DOOM 2016 going off topic, sorry

#

Too bad if Doomguy were to fight Master Chief, he would lose

noble moat
#

Ha

#

Literal super powered human who has gone to hell and back numerous times.
Or a man in a can

red flume
#

calling 117 a man in a can is selling him well short

elder meadow
#

Unfortunately the monsters Doom Guy fought are no different than the ones Master Chief fought plus Doomguy’s weapons lack versatility and the BFG is incapable of bypassing the Bubble Shield

noble moat
#

Ok I know Hydreigon is baiting at this point
And obviously saying he is a man in a can is selling him short.

But compared to the slayer he is certainly a man in a can

red flume
#

the problem for the Slayer is (IIRC) his Praetor suit is only resistant to demon attacks which Master Chief obviously doesn't dish out.

I'd still take Slayer 10/10 times but it'd play out like Goku v Beerus I think.

#

Slayer being Beerus ofc

elder meadow
#

points to this

noble moat
#

Lol death battle

#

Those people couldn’t tell you who would accurately win in 90% of their fights

elder meadow
#

Speaking of Halo, why doesn’t doom have a series based on their multiplayer like Halo does?

noble moat
#

What

elder meadow
#

Red vs Blue, made by Rooster Teeth, a series based on Halo’s multiplayer

noble moat
proper ridge
#

the problem with doomguy in death battle is the BFG

#

every canon incarnation of it is OP af megalel

elder meadow
#

Only sad thing is that Demon’s with a shield can deflect the BFG blast, I saw a video of that happening which made my jaw drop

#

Isn’t the Doomguy in that fight pre-Seraphim blessing?

#

not saying that he’d win or lose because idk anything about Master Chief but the Slayer now would be way stronger than the Doomguy in that video

#

Possibly, this was before these Doom games ever existed, but I do believe that Slayer could give master Chief a run for his money than he did in that Death a Battle since these games did not exist when his fight with Master Chief happened, which was why Doomguy easily lost to him

#

A good example would be Mario vs Sonic, first time they fought, Sonic won, but a few years later, they got a rematch and the results confirmed Mario as the winner

twilit vessel
#

is this game demanding on a computer or is my computer just really bad

elder meadow
#

2016 shouldn’t be that demanding, might just be your PC

twilit vessel
#

oh..

elder meadow
#

it doesn’t run well on mine either, apparently my GPU doesn’t play nice with Vulkan

twilit vessel
#

does it do better with gl?

elder meadow
#

it does, but not by a lot and I dip below 60 quite a bit

#

i found that lowering the resolution to 1280x720 helped a lot, I doubled my FPS

twilit vessel
#

hm, I was told vulkan would run it well but I'll give opengl a try

#

oh, yeah it does a pretty consistent 60fps if I put it to 50% resolution. but if I do that it's kind of hard to tell what I'm looking at sometimes

south junco
#

bruh that death battle was based on Doomguy before he became teh slayer

#

if Master Chief fought Doomguy post becoming the slayer I honestly doubt Master Chief would last more than 10 seconds

elder meadow
#

Doom guy crushes master chief

#

Physically. Master chief just not as strong. He just got "luck". It not really anything more to him.

#

Doom canonically got inhuman strength, speed and vitality

autumn prism
#

Doomguy even before doom 2016 would still crush chief

#

He can put run rockets

#

Have you seen how much ammo he can hold?

#

And the plasma gun would melt chieds armour

#

That thing is way deadlier in the classic games then any halo plasma rifle

#

You would have to handicap doom guy to go up against chief

elder meadow
#

Doom guy pre 2016 was just a marine

#

He would have got slammed by master chief

noble moat
#

If we remove all equipment
We have a guy who could hold a stupid amount of ammo and guns at once and run at full speed non stop

John on other hand is strong enhanced human, but in terms of human vs human doomguy “should win”

#

Likewise slayer vs John no equipment slayer wins Hands down

latent plover
#

the Slayer is a pure being of rage he would slap chiefs shit from a tactical standpoint as he has killed bigger badder enemies that and if one man can make hell shit their pants just by hearing him the Master chief would lose

elder meadow
#

Why should they fight at all?

#

They're both supposed to be badass positive dudes.

errant bloom
#

Because fictional characters fanboy wars

#

This is bob

#

Bob has unlimited power.
Bob wins.

flint nova
#

guys

#

hwo are plaing doom 2016

elder meadow
#

Almost everyone

#

16 is great

rustic jacinth
#

yo fkkk

#

i miss dis dooms online :((((

#

its soo goood

elder meadow
#

2016 multiplayer is still alive

#

Except that sometimes you have to search for a room for 10 minutes.

elder meadow
#

True

autumn prism
#

Depends

#

Consoles are region locked and therefor your at the mercy of your country's gaymer population

#

Pc is more flexibile tho

elder meadow
#

Which region is the most active then?

blissful imp
#

NA

celest atlas
#

Doomguy or Duke Nukem (3D)?

elder meadow
#

Batman

twilit vessel
#

the concept of a death battle is dumb, like why compare two characters from different universes with different rules

odd sequoia
#

Hey
Just updated my cooperative map, anyone want to join? ( the map is pretty hard tho hugo )

twilit vessel
#

you can co-op in this game?

supple finch
#

snapmap i assume

odd sequoia
#

you can co-op in this game?
@twilit vessel snapmap

#

snapmap i assume
@supple finch yeah :')

#

I also added a possibility to pick yourself a role on this map ( like healer, dd, support and so on ) so you have to actually support each other while playing

twilit vessel
#

oh, well I'll look into it once I finish the campaign

elder meadow
#

Man my head hurts gonna take a breather before I play multiplayer again, hoping to get the metallic black armor for one of my 4 other suits

noble moat
#

Head hurts because of the multiplayer or just hurts?

#

My head has been aching all day due to allergies and my sinuses

elder meadow
#

Went to a party, got wasted XD

noble moat
#

Ah well that will do it too XD

elder meadow
#

Worth it

elder meadow
#

Though it seems I know how to use Kinetic Mines the best mainly since I know a smart player would destroy it before it detonates, so I put it where they would least expect it to be, killed players who are more experienced than me that way

elder meadow
#

You use them in combat

#

That is the most effective way.

#

And fuck kinetic mines.

#

They should not exist.

#

kinetic mines are really op

noble moat
#

You could toss half a grenade launcher into a sector and nope the mine wasn’t deactivated

#

Honestly, remove mines. And Make spectres pinkies. And multiplayer could have been wayyyy more enjoyable

elder meadow
#

I think it worth to reduce the specter's health,they difficult to hit and they also have a lot of health.

#

But I really doubt that there will be any multiplayer fixes

noble moat
#

Well yeah it’s done

elder meadow
#

@noble moat There is a reason why Spectre is so overpowered. That is because he is so easily countered.

#

A bit of a shitty design fundamentally tbh.

noble moat
#

Yes I know demon seeker or whatever that stupid rune is

#

But I shouldn’t have to turn on a rune for one demon who may not even appear this match

elder meadow
#

You basically turn it on when it appears.

#

Hmm, this rune is quite powerful considering that in Deathmatch for example, the demon exists almost the entire match.

#

And yea you can switch runes any time

elder meadow
#

As a Spectre you can basically dominate the entire game, but there always will be that one level 550 guy who has permament wallhack on you, and will constantly poke you with his HAR.

#

Wdym by "HAR"?

elder meadow
#

Assault Riffle

#

Best anti-demon weapon.

elder meadow
#

Nah,i like plasma rifle more

elder meadow
#

Plasma has projectiles which become unreliable at long distances.

#

And trust me, when fighting a demon, you want to stay as far away as possible from him.

#

I usually use a plasma/sniper rifle combination or a sniper rifle and a pistol.

#

Plasma is very good at close combat and a sniper rifle at long range.

elder meadow
#

The Spectre shares the same health as a Cacodemon. Though yeah hard to kill when both of the Demon’s attacks will instantly kill. Guess as long as you have the high ground and the power seeker rune, makes killing the Spectre less difficult.

#

I use the grenade launcher and plasma rifle. Grenade launcher for far distances and for those who have the high ground, high ground my ass, the plasma rifle for foes who get too close since I know the grenade launcher takes time to recharge

elder meadow
#

@elder meadow I think the same goes for Soul Harvest depending on who got the first kill, since the Demon Rune does not go away till the match ends making the main objective to kill the enemy demon and obtain the rune for yourself and prevent enemies from killing you

elder meadow
#

What combat shotgun mod do I get first for nightmare?

#

Explosive right?

#

explosive is my personal favorite so i guess

#

Ah, okay thank you

noble moat
#

Explosive and try to master it as soon as possible

#

The mastered grenade launcher is incredibly useful

#

Especially for combos and taking out fodder, since the direct contact hit almost always staggers demons and splash

elder meadow
#

Burst fire is almost useless

#

I only use it for SSG/Shotgun combo

noble moat
#

Oh 100%
Even burst fire Mastered is trash

elder meadow
#

And you will not be able to master burst fire until you'll get to mancubies.

noble moat
#

Yeah

#

Meanwhile on average I master shotgun grenades by foundry

elder meadow
#

Mastered shotgun's grenade launcher is a must have weapon against hell knights

noble moat
#

Against any enemy really

#

It instakills the beefy fodder. And does major damage and usually staggers larger enemies

elder meadow
#

By the way, I did not understand why the description of the mastered chain gun sentry mode is says that it stops overheating,but the overheat indicator for some reason is still there but it is can not be filled to 100%,what is the point?

noble moat
#

Of the indicator? 🤷‍♂️

elder meadow
#

Yea

noble moat
#

I guess it’s just to show the weapon still gets hot but will never reach the point of overheating

#

Cuz the barrels still get hot

elder meadow
#

It just moves slowly to fill and stops at a quarter. And It takes up space on the screen.

keen geyser
#

just started playing doom , is earning a slayer medal in a match hard to do? I'm just trying to gauge my skill because i have been getting this pretty consistently and I'm not sure if you genuinely have to be good or not to receive said medal.

elder meadow
#

In multiplayer?

keen geyser
#

yup

elder meadow
#

It's more issue of luck than skill

keen geyser
#

how so

noble moat
#

It’s based on points
Staying alive longer and getting combos adds points
Constantly doing actions = points

elder meadow
#

Yes but if you manage to live long or the enemy uses kinetic mines depends on luck.

noble moat
#

Give or take

#

There is a fair bit of skill involved

Which yeah kinetic mine are bs

elder meadow
#

god i hate how broken doom 2016's ultra nightmare is

#

i cant count how many times ive died to some imp that was camping right as i finish a glory kill

misty shadow
#

It's still fun

noble moat
#

Real question is why you GK 🤔

elder meadow
#

because i need health??

noble moat
#

Nah fam.

elder meadow
#

why else would i glory kill

noble moat
#

If you get to the point where a GK truly gives health you pretty much lost anyways

misty shadow
#

Because glory killing is literally heaven for the eyes

noble moat
#

Imp speed balls are true torture

#

They only do like like 35 damage
But if you get hit by 2 at once that’s rip

elder meadow
#

at this point ive memorized the entire uac level because of how many times ive had to restart on UN

misty shadow
#

I'm glad Doom 2016 did have glory kills, otherwise it wouldn't have been the same

noble moat
#

I restarted UN so many times I can now 100% the first 4 levels

elder meadow
#

i tihnk vega core is the farthest ive ever gotten

#

think*

noble moat
#

Vega core destroyed?

elder meadow
#

yea the one before argent dnur

plucky lotus
#

should i get doom 2016 after ive already played doom eternal?

noble moat
#

Vega processing is before Argent Dnur

misty shadow
#

I mean it's up to you

elder meadow
#

yes @plucky lotus
its a fantastic game

noble moat
#

You can. But you will miss like every Quality of life improvement eternal gives

#

Like actually gaining health from Glory Kills

#

And actually being able to add armor back

elder meadow
#

yea u get like 10 hp max from a glory kill in un

noble moat
#

And most of the time you get 5

elder meadow
#

yeah, and its rare

plucky lotus
#

thats what im scared about that i will miss the new qualities from doom eternal and not like doom 2016

elder meadow
#

its very difficult to get health

noble moat
#

Think of it like this. 2016 is by no means slow. But it’s slower than eternal

#

You will 100% miss dash,
And the ability to heal and gain armor

plucky lotus
#

ok

#

thx for the advice

noble moat
#

Also most levels are just hallways instead of platforming.

But it has much less story

#

Also the game is slow to start, takes like 2-3 levels to get good

plucky lotus
#

ight

elder meadow
#

i think ive replayed uac so much i can do it without taking damage on UN

#

just an assumption tho
never tried it

#

probably never will

plucky lotus
elder meadow
#

I'm almost done with the foundry and haven't found any other gun than the shotgun what's wrong with me

#

Aren't you supposed to get the assault rifle now?

#

you can also get the plasma rifle and rocket launcher

#

Really?

#

but the rocket launcher is an early unlock

#

and i think you get assault rifle in resource ops

#

correct me if im wrong

#

I'm struggling with a combat shotgun on a nightmare run, is there a chance I can get any other gun in foundry?

#

yes, you can get a secret rocket launcher

#

look it up on youtube, you can find it, since it'll be very hard to describe over text

#

Alright, thanks alot I didn't realise I was doing something wrong lmao

red flume
#

there's an AR in ResOps right before you cycle an airlock and a secret plasma rifle that requires the yellow key to get to.

#

actually there's 2 ARs in that level. The second is towards the end right before the long, narrow hallway with possessed and security.

muted wolf
#

Uh, question, how do i open console in Demo ?

coral spire
#

anyone want to play deathmatch

elder meadow
#

I would but my brother has my game

elder meadow
#

I only miss the meathook.
I actually dislike dash in Eternal quite a lot.

elder meadow
#

how come?

#

Dash as it is in Eternal not only gives you a cheap way to avoid incomming bullshit, it also forced id to make the AI unreasonably agressive in order for the game to not be too easy.

#

To each their own, but I like how aggressive the ai is in DE.

uncut mesa
#

So has anyone noticed that the Cyber Demon has kinda the same armor setup that the marauders have? Do you think the cyber demon could have been on the priests side or just a demon who happened to have skin that looked like the armor the marauders have?

autumn prism
#

I'd say the latter

open elm
#

Yo

frozen veldt
#

so does the glory kill for spider mastermind require a bfg shot

#

my first try i almost killed her but i didnot have bfg left and used the shots on the floor so i restarted the fight

#

i beat her that time

#

with ammo

#

but do i need it or not?

soft crest
#

@frozen veldt i believe not

rigid gale
#

Did you try to do it first? That’s the only way to know. From what I remember, I used all my BFG during the fight and I was still able to glory kill.

ornate basin
#

Because that’s a cutscene

red flume
#

You don't need one.
The codex kinda tries to explain it here:

Only through our use of SEFT can the power of such a mighty weapon be realized. Such a weapon requires not only science, but BELIEF.

frozen veldt
#

HUH

#

i coudlnt activact the cutscene though

elder meadow
#

The last cut scene is played regardless of whether you have ammo or not.

#

This is an obvious trick.

#

hi

#

Hi turd

#

a*

finite trench
#

guys can i ask, what benefits do people get by queing and afking the whole game in 2016 mp?

noble moat
#

🤷‍♂️

latent plover
#

if i see afkers in 2016 i beat the shit out of them to purposely fuck up their stats royally

finite trench
#

Do you still level if you afk? I supposed you do

radiant condor
#

damn i just played 2016 again for the first time since eternal came out and it feel sooo slow dude

#

feels*

flint dune
#

Yeah, even though you run faster in 2016 the lack of mobility feels so limiting after playing Eternal imo

elder meadow
#

@finite trench That is the general mentality of online player ever since mid 2018-ish.

#

Nobody is playing anymore, you either AFK entirely or play with half of your brain turned off.

#

This actually made me quit... practically every MP game that i played before.

trail narwhal
#

guys i am on my first playthrough and i cant enjoy game totally i cant do finishers from above sometimes i dont know where to go cant find secrets i just like music and graphics

noble moat
#

For the most part 2016 is quite linear. If you don’t follow the linear path you find secrets

#

Deaths from above require height, not just a simple jump

elder meadow
#

i am the luckiest man alive

#

i survived a blow with 1 hp left

#

and managed to finish the entire fight with just 1 hp

#

all on un of course

rigid gale
#

@trail narwhal maka91 productions on YouTube has a very in depth guide on 100% for every single level in 2016. Very easy to follow and the episodes aren’t too long either.

muted wolf
#

h

red flume
#

if you aim up while jumping you can pretty consistently get "from above" glory kills. jump boots or not.

noble moat
#

I find standing in front of a staggered enemy with my back to them aimed down. Jump and GK almost always does a death from above

rigid gale
#

Yep or double jumping while looking down at them works for me.

noble moat
#

Yes however from op’s post I bet he is in foundry since that requires the death from above, and you wouldn’t have double jump at that point

#

Plus out of all the maps it’s probably one of the least linear. That and the level afterwards

rigid gale
#

Oh shit yeah I forgot about that. Even though I’ve just started another play through. Not going for 100 on this one.

#

There are a lot of boxes on that level though so it shouldn’t be insanely difficult. Plus you can just lull yourself if you fail.

noble moat
#

I use rails

#

Which is dangerous as hell but yolo

rigid gale
#

Meh there’s really no penalty for death other than progress so take as long as you’d like.

chrome nova
#

I just jump and aim down mostly, it's not required to be completely above them to do a Death From Above if I'm remembering correctly.

elder meadow
#

just noticed you get more hp from glory kills depending how much health you have atm, huh
never saw that

#

when i have 50+ hp, i get 5, occasionally 10 health drops from GKs (on ultra nightmare)

#

but when i have 30 or less i get up to 25

#

never even noticed that wtf

noble moat
#

Yeah it’s stupid

#

Because getting 5hp at like 50 hp is useles

elder meadow
#

It's actually very smart

#

It doesn't let you die easily, but it also doesn't let you walk around with 200+ hp all the time

#

yea

#

same how glory kills can drop ammo if you have low

#

@noble moat At 50 hp you getting around ~15-20

#

nope

#

if you have 50 or above you only get 5 or 10

#

or i may be wrong, idk, dont think ive ever seen that happen tho

#

In this way, the player will always need to use glory kills and it will help the player if he has critically little number of something.

#

mhm

#

i dont see the point in doing glory kills if you have 70+ hp cause then youre just putting yourself in a vulnerable spot

#

I don't know what about you but I get 10-20 health points + armor cuz rune for each glory kill even with 100+ HP.

#

just walked straight into a projectile and died
...on UN, of course
what else?

#

In addition, you can not expose yourself to a vulnerable point during glory kill, enemies can not deal damage to you at this time.

#

I think the game slows down time a little more during glory kill but I can't be 100% sure.

#

yea but ive had TONS of occasions where i end a glory kill right as an imp shoots a fireball at me

#

or a soldier finishes charging his shot and fires it right onto my ass

#

or hell, even a baron or hell knight
or even a cyber mancubus

noble moat
#

Yes because always using GK on nightmare is smart

elder meadow
#

ONLY gk if you really need to

noble moat
#

Lemme just GK 8 times in a row and damn imp hit me

#

If you watch eternal gameplay every 4 seconds you can get full armor and health

#

And GK always drops a nice chunk of hp

elder meadow
#
  • flame belch gives alot of armor too
#

Eternal is much faster in dynamics, so it should also restore health faster.

noble moat
#

Yes. But it also gives you full armor and health every 5 seconds

#

In doom 2016 as soon as you take major damage you are forced to play much more passively

#

Even using siphon grenades with equipment rune they only give so much back

elder meadow
#

im going to game end myself

#

i tried jumping across a gap in resource ops, imp cockblocks me and i fall into the void

#

we basically jumped at the same time, same spot
he flew into me and i fell

Hate when that happens

tight igloo
#

almost time to rip and tear for me

red flume
#

I much prefer 2016's GK health amounts. In Eternal I never feel in as much danger since a GK at 50HP often gives me another 50.

#

This concludes today's installment of "Zirtonic talks about the things he likes better in 2016 than Eternal, which is most of them."

ornate basin
#

I hope you feel fulfilled

flint dune
#

The glory kill window is much smaller in Eternal though. They recover quicker and you’ll most likely kill the demon immediately after it staggers. The amount of HP is a way too much, I’ll agree, but I’d much rather them be useful unlike 2016’s GKs that aren’t worth the risk most of the time.

#

At least on Nightmare they aren’t

elder meadow
#

honestly i prefer 2016 over eternal

#

while i agree that eternal does ALOT of things better, i just like 2016 more

#

dont necessarily know why, i just prefer the feel of it

flint dune
#

I prefer Eternal as I have more fun with it, but I do think 2016 is the better game. The lighting and tone is much better in 2016 imo

elder meadow
#

the rune system was better tho

#

like how you could master runes

#

even tho runes were way less obvious in 2016

flint dune
#

Yeah. I think 2016 just had a killer vibe. I don’t get that same feeling from Eternal.

elder meadow
#

yeah since in like 90% of 2016 youre indoors

#

i loved to see those broken, rundown facilities

flint dune
#

Lighting is a big factor in 2016. Eternal’s lighting is flat.

elder meadow
#

my favorite level was vega processing core based off just looks

#

with all the snow and shit

flint dune
#

Agreed. Finally a change in scenery

elder meadow
#

and it was a great change too

rigid gale
#

Why are Cacodemons so much harder in this game!?

noble moat
#

Because you can’t instakill them

flint dune
#

Meh, Cacodemons in 2016 are much slower. Just no weak point to abuse.

red flume
#

The only thing that has me playing more Eternal is the load times. I know it's only a few seconds difference but A) it definitely feels like it adds up over the course of a session and B) the levels in Eternal are bigger so loading screens are less frequent.

Once again, blame megatextures.

#

If 2016 had Eternal load times I'd probably double how often I play through it.

rigid gale
#

The game randomly crashes for me. Is it my PC or does that happen to everyone?

elder meadow
#

Aside from the Cacodemon’s Green Eye, though, in Eternal, Cacodemon’s have 2 Weaknesses, the eye and swallowing a grenade stuns them

soft crest
#

yes, that is correct

elder meadow
#

Grant it, the tongue skewer in Multiplayer is scary and makes up for the CacoDemon’s slow speed

flint dune
#

Yes. The eye counts as a headshot/critical towards the Cacodemon in both games.

soft crest
#

I dont get the trash talk about cacos destroying the balance, they just really got their role in the battle changed

elder meadow
#

Though playing as the Cacodemon is fun, I choose between it, the Baron of Hell, and the Pinky(Spectre) in multiplayer matches

#

Gonna be focusing too much on the Spectre so I can get 250 kills and win the metal black armor color for my villain character armors, gonna have to pay for a 1 year WiFi soon since mine expires in less than 1 or 2 months

soft crest
#

I loved Harvester

#

didnt get enough love in Eternal

#

even though Penance is about harvesting souls, the harvest demon is missing

elder meadow
#

True, I saw the videos, funny that 2 of my armors resemble Heroes while 2 others will resemble Villains since we get 4 customizable armors

#

My main hero armor, is one of the Templar armors(forgot the name of it)with the Primary color being Metallic Royal Blue, with the secondary color being red(blue due to it being my favorite color, red due to it being my brother’s favorite color)

#

You know I would pay good money to see an action comedy series based on DOOM multiplayer

#

Anyone ever see Doom 2016 retail cart for Switch in stores lately? I can't seem to find it anywhere and online the price goes through the roof. Is it really so scarce now?

elder meadow

It does. But it might be dead at current time.

doom 2k16 multi still has many players. but depending on your timezone, you would have to wait a bit longer.

ive blowed myself up 4 times today

doesnt matter if its by my own gun or a barrel

#

ive also fallen into the void twice today aswell

#

quite literally all my deaths have been stupid accidents

#

like one time i tried to rocket launcher a group of demons, but the timing was shit, and accidentally shot the railing in front of me

#

since the jump was ending right as i shot

#

i wont stop tho

#

i will never give up

#

You know platforming sections is an SS tier enemy

#

my deaths werent even platforming sections

#

like once in resops i tried to jump across a gap

but an imp jumped at the same time as me, flew into me and cockblocked me

and i flew into the void

I found my lost copy of 2016 again

So I guess I’ll play it

#

Neat and sorry to hear that you lost it

#

Time to test if the crouch was a nightmare I came up with or real

#

Oh

#

It’s real

#

It’s so much slower

#

And no double jump is fucking with me

#

It feels so different

flint dune
#

You get double jump by level 4 I think? I like that you just start with it in Eternal

ornate basin
#

Just met vega

#

Forgot how ear-rapey the possessed were

flint dune
#

Oh man, ikr.

ornate basin
#

Micro missiles or stun bomb

#

Stun bomb

strange raft
#

Doom better go on sale on steam soon.

noble moat
#

You don’t need stunbomb until you run into pinkies tbh. And that’s not until like level 7

ornate basin
#

Oh shit

#

Time to listen to haydan for 10 minutes

chrome nova
#

I find stunbomb useful for those shield guys on Ultra-Nightmare.

#

Ya know, just in case I miss the grenade the first time around :/

ornate basin
#

Health, armor or ammo upgrade

chrome nova
#

I'm no expert, but I'd go with Health

#

Armor is kinda uncommon and Eternal taught us how to use chainsaw for ammo.

ornate basin
#

I didn’t get the animation

chrome nova
#

that's weird

ornate basin
#

I don’t care haydan

#

Let me leave

#

I don’t care about you were fucking with hell

#

Let me leave

#

Foundry time

chrome nova
#

Don't forget the secret rocket launcher

uncut trout
#

Is playing 2016 after Eternal annoying bc of the reduced movement?

ornate basin
#

It feels much slower

#

And not having dash sucks

chrome nova
#

I wanna go back to playing Doom 2016 so I can finally complete Ultra-Nightmare all the way through

#

but the controls are so different and I don't wanna go back to Eternal the second time and end up having to relearn Eternal's controls again

noble moat
#

Yeah unlike the differences between all the doom games
I think 2016-eternal is the hardest to go back and forth with

#

Most doom games are just different enough where you already know each game is it’s own.

But 2016 eternal are just similar enough where while playing you will be thinking the actions of the latter
Dash, meathook, freeze nades. Not falling to death. Can’t damage weak points. Etc

ornate basin
#

Foundry is donezo

#

I absolutely hate argent facility

#

Yay fucking rune trials

#

Also

#

What the fuck are these load times

#

Is there a way to turn off the music glory kill thing

#

It’s hard to enjoy the banging tracks when it stops every glory kill

flint dune
#

Yeah that’s why they got rid of them in Eternal, and no, you can’t turn them off.

ornate basin
#

I’m already on argent tower these levels are much shorter then the ones in eternal

ornate basin
#

Ok I’ve got to hell

#

That’s enough 2016 for now

noble moat
#

Pretty cool thing About 2016 e3 showcase
It has hell razers. But they are just the possessed soldiers

#

Wait fluffy you beat Argent tower and got to Kadingir sanctum?

ornate basin
#

Yeah

#

It didn’t take long

noble moat
#

I highly suggest you do it while your reflexes are strong

ornate basin
#

Don’t want to deal with cacodemons now

noble moat
#

Hmm true

#

You get secret gauss

ornate basin
#

Yeah

#

The game ends when you get the ssg and guass

noble moat
#

For cacos 4 rockets and a gauss is the fastest way to kill them before you get Siege mode

ornate basin
#

I forgot how easy this game is
From the uac to argent tower I died like 5 times on Ultra violence

noble moat
#

Play it on nightmare

ornate basin
#

I’ll probably do that

noble moat
#

In 2016 for sure UV and nightmare have a big difference

ornate basin
#

Now that I got the op weapons it feels like I’m cheating

noble moat
#

Yeah I can’t play on UV
It feels too easy for me

ornate basin
#

And I’ve only gotten 2 ammo upgrades

#

Can’t wait to have 60 shells

noble moat
#

Yeah once you get ammo upgrades 2016 is laughably easy
All you need is rockets and gauss at that point

ornate basin
#

I’m so glad I found my lost copy of this game

noble moat
#

Nice, I love 2016

ornate basin
#

Honestly

noble moat
#

Can’t wait for eternal

ornate basin
#

Coming from someone who has been playing eternal for a while
They are completely different games

#

The movement is really different
The ammo count makes combat more frantic and the chainsaw more important

noble moat
#

I’ve been practicing for the ammo,
I did a nightmare no ammo upgrade run

#

Which makes your ammo count roughly the same as maxed eternal ammo count

ornate basin
#

Doomguy runs a bit faster but without the crazy movement the games feels so slow

#

It’s like you’ve been crippled

noble moat
#

I can’t wait for all the movement abilities and maps and demons and
Everything

ornate basin
#

Yeah

#

Once I beat 2016 I’ll have a fresher view on it so I can better compare the 2

tight dawn
#

Cacodemons are so easy in 2016 unless you let them get close to you

#

You can lock on rocket them,
Use gauss, SSG them, or even stunlock them with the chaingun like in the originals

noble moat
#

Man watching the first level of eternal always reminds me how disappointed I am In how slow the first 3 levels of doom 2016 are

#

Hell in the first 2-3 minutes of eternal you have 2 Gun Mods and a chainsaw and 2 secrets found

#

In 2016 it would be like 15-20min from start to get first Mod
And it’s much slower paced. And 2 arena fights with just a standard shotgun.
And second weapon isn’t until near halfway of the second level

ornate basin
#

Ok starting up 2016 again

#

Kadingir sanctum

#

One of the cooler levels

noble moat
#

I love the sound

ornate basin
#

These summoners that spawn hell knights aren’t cool though

noble moat
#

Oh man on Kadingir nightmare it’s ridiculous

#

Because if you don’t remove the summoners you WILL have 3-4 hell knights rushing you

ornate basin
#

Lock on is best for summoners

#

They’re kinda pushovers

#

Arch viles aren’t

#

Oh no

#

Lost souls

#

Summoners only summon trash mobs, archviles summon tough mobs dealwithit

Just got double ssg blast dealguy

#

Barrons are so weak in this game

noble moat
#

Is it just me, or ar cyber mancs beefy as hell?

#

Like even beefier than Barons

ornate basin
#

I haven’t seen him yet

high raptor
#

cyber mancs show up same level where you get the bfg

ornate basin
#

Advanced research complex is easily my favorite level

flint dune
#

They have the same HP as Barons iirc. Maybe slightly more?

noble moat
#

I definitely want to say more. I’ve been spamming vega processing level and face both regularly and cyber feels much beefier

flint dune
#

Maybe it’s due to how Bullet-Spongey they are.

ornate basin
#

I finished half the game in one night

flint dune
#

Nice

ornate basin
#

On ultra violence

#

100%ing each level

And maxed out both ssg and seige mode so this game is over

Lets go get this bfg

#

Ikr. The “cutscenes” in this game are not long, maybe 2-3 min max.
But with how fast the game is they feel like they last forever

#

I really hate rune trials

#

They grind the game to a halt

errant bloom
#

Yeah i prefer the secret encounters more

#

Which is kinda the replacement

#

Dont have to load to a trial

flint dune
#

I liked the idea of Rune trials, most of them were pretty boring to do though.

#

I’m not a fan how runes are just given to the player in Eternal. They didn’t even bother to hide them nor are they spread out. All the runes are shoved into 6 levels.

ornate basin
#

You know that big ass gore best at the end of advanced research complex

ornate basin
#

I have to do it twice because I missed some demons the first time

rigid gale
#

My issues are the random clips into the inside of the levels. The inconsistency in getting glory kills. The double jump not working half the time.

noble moat
#

As soon as you exit a ledge the first jump is no longer usable

#

I noticed that most ledges when you “think you can jump” you are already off the ledge, leading to a single jump

#

I am pretty bummed that DE doesn't reintroduce Double-Trouble

noble moat

No clue what that is
Unless you are referring to the guards

#

Double ssg blast

Meathook is cooler

noble moat
#

Double ssg sucks tbh

#

You have to be point blank to use it, which is not where you want to be most of the time

It’s completely busted

Plus it’s cheese
Screw cheese

You know what also sucks

Lost souls not spawning thus not letting me get 100% kills

You enter the secret and kill everything?

What?

#

You enter the secret level and kill everything?

ornate basin
#

No it’s on advanced research complex after the cyber mancubus arena

noble moat
#

Which means

ornate basin
#

You know that part in arc where theres abounch of ledges and you go into a tube

#

The lost souls didn’t spawn there

noble moat
#

But did u enter the secret level and kill everything in there

#

There aren’t enemies in the secret level

Doesn’t play in the campaign, was scrapped iirc

golden cosmos

Bleh. At least Only Thing They Fear Is You plays in Eternal (Which has some e1m1 in it IMO)

#

Would be nice if tracks played in the Multiplayer. So the only music track we get to hear isn't just the Waiting theme. : (

uncut trout
#

We need BM music. Even if they played some existing songs from the campaign like SGN or Metal Hell, that would be great.

soft crest
#

Its hard to tell tbh, the music as of right now only starts to kick in when things become hectic with both sides at low health. This is pretty much the industry standart. I would preffer music, but then it would be really about how much and how would it fit. When things get hectic you pretty much know what to expect from players to do or attempt to be doing. The before has way more possibilities. But a true dynamic soundtrack would be like one thing really innovative in bm

high raptor
#

@golden cosmos I think that was the multiplayer beta menu music

soft crest
#

that indeed is beta, honestly I dont like this track much

golden cosmos
#

Better than what we got in the end for that screen. It's the only track my wife knows because she only plays multiplayer, it's fucking weird TBH that it's the case.

I hope the last level is hard

noble moat
#

Vega processing is arguably much harder

#

However you can cheese the entire level by using the BFG and the Power ups

#

If you don’t touch a single Powerup or use BFG
The level is a true test of skill

chrome nova
#

I end up doing that anyway because "what if I really need this BFG ammo later" and then I never use it.

#

I should get a map of where BFG ammo is located so I feel less paranoid.

Meanwhile I never use BFG besides boss fights because I don’t feel like shooting them for 20 minutes

Eternal is much better

Now if only I could make that verdict, but I think I already know what my answer is

So bob you play on the switch

So you could try to beat the game upside down

I actually can’t play right now

You're getting 6 frames per second in menus?

Try closing background applications and turning Vsync off.

wooden heart

Menus are weird

60 FPS, 100% CPU usage on first 2 cores, and laggy mouse.

I just got doom 2016

Welcome to the Squad

#

Gonna rest my head, phew multiplayer can make my head spin, but getting better and better each time

elder meadow
#

anyone up for Doom multiplayer??

fathom trench
#

@elder meadow please do tell. How is it on the switch.

noble moat
#

It’s great on switch

#

Obviously it doesn’t match up graphically as the other versions

#

No snapmap

#

Multiplayer is somewhat active. Certain times give much faster matchmaking

ornate basin
#

Snapmap never worked for me

noble moat
#

As for frames. For the most part it’s 30fps solid

#

However, on nightmare when enemies are more aggressive, and certain areas on certain maps, frames will drop lower

#

However frame droppage in doom 2016 is more of a slight slow down
Rather than a choppy feeling

#

I have 180 hours in it so I’d say my experience in it is at least worth the 2 cents

ornate basin
#

30 isn’t good
But it is good for the switch

noble moat
#

30fps is more than good

#

Also if you are getting it for the switch you are getting it for handheld mode or only have a switch

ornate basin
#

I have a switch

#

But I just found my lost copy so no dice

noble moat
#

Wasn’t referring to you I meant in general

#

Unless you are like me and portability is honestly your deciding factor. Then it’s probably best to get it on any other platform

ornate basin
#

I might get the other ones on switch though

noble moat
#

Oh yeah the other 3 are honestly perfect on switch

#

Only doom 3 has “slight” and I’m talking super slight frame issues at times, but oddly enough it was never during action or movement sequences

ornate basin
#

Is final doom on the switch

noble moat
#

Yes

#

It comes free with either doom 1 or 2

#

You also get the shit ton of other free add on map packs as well

#

@fathom trench but yeah those are my views and opinions on doom on switch

ornate basin
#

What map packs

noble moat
#

But if I had to be 10000% honest. I’d say wait for eternal and buy that instead.
Both are $60. And eternal will be much more optimized

ornate basin
#

Like sigil?

noble moat
#

Lemme check real quick fluffy there is a decent chunk

fathom trench
#

@noble moat The switch fascinates me tremendously. I mean yes its 30fps but holy shit we get games like doom and witcher 3 on a fucking portable!?!?

noble moat
#

IKR

fathom trench
#

30fps on a portable with Triple AAA titles is nothing to sneeze at all

#

furthermore...the outer worlds is also coming on switch?! God damn...

noble moat
#

Only like 13 gbs too for outer worlds

#

I think the nintendo switch sequel...now thays something to invest in

#

There won’t be a sequal, I’ll explain in #general

how is it only 13 gbs

Im back with an almost broken controller

#

Nightmare is easy tho

#

Just keep practicing, once you perfect the doom dance nightmare will seem the most fun just you wait

One of my controllers has the fire button work in combat but not work in menus. The arsenal and challenges require that button to navigate through them so it’s annoying having to go backwards through those menus.

quite fast paced and aggressive multiplayer

Also I personally didn't buy the game for multiplayer but I tried it and its pretty fun

thought I'd drop my 0.02

Yeah you pretty much can only do team play
Every other mode is dead for the most part

Im in kadingir sanctum, and holy shit

#

It gets super super hectic

#

Kandigir is alright i guess.

#

Try doing the chad run on Vega tho. That's when shit REALLY gets intense/

#

Yeah but two barons were chasing me and a mancubus and revenants were shooting at me

noble moat
#

Ah the end of kadingir

#

If you want the true doom experience
No BFG
No holo
No powerups

#

Little to no siege mode as well
And no double shot ssg

elder meadow
#

Ye know, at this point i kinda wish id would go back to Doom 2016 and fix the balance mess.

#

Or at least add a "hard mode" option

#

Hard Mode:

No ammo runes
1 BFG shot
Most BFG ammo removed
No power ups
No double SSG (should not exist to begin with tbh)

ornate basin
#

When you look past how cool everything is

#

2016 has some really big flaws

#

Stemming from the fact the game is piss easy

#

The game gives you so much ammo the chainsaw doesn’t need to

#

And the ssg, guass, rocket launcher and bfg are so stupid

#

The game really shines at foundry, titans relm and vega core

noble moat
#

Unless I do nightmare
No BFG
No certain runes
No double ssg
No siege
No powerups
No holo
No ammo upgrade
Then the game is too easy

ornate basin
#

I don’t even use hologram

noble moat
#

I never used it I ether, I think I tried once, it didn’t do anything so I never used it again

ornate basin
#

And rune trials are a slog

noble moat
#

Here is hella fun
Now shoot 30 barrels with a pistol

ornate basin
#

Wow this game is fun
Now go collect 15 d20s while running to a platform

elder meadow
#

Keep getting better and better at this. Spectre and Cacodemon will be my main demons depending on fighting locations

#

man ultra nightmare sucks

#

for some reason its gotten harder for me

#

like ive lost my touch

#

in my every attempt the farthest i get is argent facility destroyed

#

i usually die there

#

like ive gotten way farther before
now i just suck

noble moat
#

You played eternal?

elder meadow
#

ive beaten ultra nightmare in eternal

#

2016 is way harder for me, unpopular opinion

noble moat
#

Eternal is easier and I haven’t even played it

ornate basin
#

It’s not

noble moat
#

It’s faster paced. But has tons of quality of life improvements,
Almost everything you do can heal you or give you armor
You can also instakill cacos and break weapons and revs and mancubus and arachnotrons

#

Much more movement abilities too

ornate basin
#

It’s still not

#

Ultra violence in eternal is harder then nightmare here

noble moat
#

Well I’ll find out when eternal comes to switch
I’ll still start it on nightmare

ornate basin
#

Good luck

noble moat
#

How is weapon swapping?

ornate basin
#

Slower

noble moat
#

I’ve seen videos and it seems you can swap faster than 2016
Yet everyone says it’s slower

elder meadow
#

eh i dont really see a difference

#

eternal is way easier

#

it provides more mobility options, helping you get out of sticky situations

#

you have easier access to health + armor

#

atleast imo, dk about u guys

ornate basin
#

You also don’t have an instant kill button

elder meadow
#

yea true

ornate basin
#

The weapons are much less cheesey

#

And all the movement options are there because all the enemies are much faster

elder meadow
#

yea yea i agree

errant bloom
#

UV in 2016 is easy af while UV on Eternal is atleast challenging. Nightmare on the other hand is less forgiving in 2016.

elder meadow
#

idk i just find eternal to be easier for me

errant bloom
#

Maybe ur just that good

noble moat
#

Instakill button?

ornate basin
#

Guass

#

Siege mode

noble moat
#

Ah I don’t use siege

elder meadow
#

siege mode mastered makes the game easy

noble moat
#

Unless I do nightmare
No BFG
No certain runes
No double ssg
No siege
No powerups
No holo
No ammo upgrade
Handheld
No gyro
Switch
Then the game is too easy

elder meadow
#

yea same ig

#

i never use powerups

noble moat
#

I’m honestly hoping eternal is faster paced

elder meadow
#

i only use powerups if theres a certain mission that requires it

noble moat
#

I love 2016, but it doesn’t give any real challenge anymore

elder meadow
#

oh trust me eternal is very fast paced

#

the enemy encounters are way harder, theres more movement options

#

you're constantly underpressure, especially in slayer gates

noble moat
#

The only “challenge” I have left is an UN run,
But technically I already did that twice, I had 2 deathless nightmare runs

ornate basin
#

Eternal is so much faster It will give you whiplash

noble moat
#

I’ll probably still go for the UN save file anyways, still have a few months until eternal launches anyway

#

Rumor says June 27 from some “well known” eBay seller company. But I doubt that’s true

ornate basin
#

I’m telling you do that upside down switch run

elder meadow
#

lmao

noble moat
#

Oh right, I need to wait for my controller to come in first tho

#

Lemme write that down somewhere

#

I’ll still do it nightmare too

#

With my usual rules of course as well

elder meadow
#

inverted controls un run

noble moat
#

Lol I don’t want painful

ornate basin
#

Southpaw un run

elder meadow
#

i think you'd get used to it after like 3 levels

noble moat
#

I’ll do it upside down but changed controls is pain

ornate basin
#

No you misunderstand

#

You take you joycons off the switch

#

And then flip the switch upside down

noble moat
#

I know that’s what I will do

ornate basin
#

And pistol only UN

elder meadow
#

anyways at this point i think ive replayed the first levels so much i could 100% them all

noble moat
#

No fuck that there’s no fun in that

elder meadow
#

like the first 5 or something

ornate basin
#

And you blindfold yourself

#

And break you hands

elder meadow
#

and you turn off the lights in your house and have to use a flashlight to see

noble moat
#

I’ll have to wait for my controller tho.
I haven’t played doom in 4 weeks because of my fucked up joycons

#

It should come in 2-4days

elder meadow
#

i skip all of the secrets in uac

#

except blueguy because hes on a shortcut

#

i also get classic doomguy most of the time to get speedy recovery

#

but i skip the classic level

#

to also skip the encounter with like 8 imps

ornate basin
#

I never did UN in this game

#

Now I’m not doing it in eternal either

elder meadow
#

you should give it a shot

ornate basin
#

I did in eternal

elder meadow
#

see how far you get on your first attempt

noble moat
#

I will definitely do it in eternal

ornate basin
#

It’s not fun

elder meadow
#

i got to doom hunter base on my first try

#

the rest was smooth sailing

#

other than the fact i died like 10 times before actually beating it

noble moat
#

Sounds like a challenge sounds fun

#

I can’t wait for those master levels tho 😈

elder meadow
#

its not hard after you get the hang of the game

noble moat
#

2016 you can only replay last 4 missions. Rest are too easy

elder meadow
#

and exploit the weaknesses

elder meadow
#

Still laughing when I blew up an opponent, who tried to attack me from behind, with a Kinetic Mine

flint dune
#

Alright well now I know to never uninstall D2016 from my PS4. It has taken 14 hours for this game to re-download itself and my saved data. Not exaggerating. cacocringe

elder meadow
#

My Xbox did that too, even from disc.

brave jewel
#

anyone else have a glitch for the historian achievement? specifically level advanced research complex. i have a full codex and runes. but the game says im missing a datapad

elder meadow
#

I had issues with other achievements, but that one went fine for me.

#

In the end i managed to fix all of them by replaying the game.

brave jewel
#

I see no downside to that!

elder meadow
#

Fun fact: You can use BFG 12 times in Vega Central Processing without the ammo rune.

fathom trench
#

finally got silver on kandingir sanctum. Off gold by like 100k points

elder meadow
#

In Multiplayer?

faint ridge
#

arcade mode

faint ridge
#

You can replay the last 4 mission on UN?

fresh hearth
#

Played some 2016 after not touching it after many eternal runs

#

Gotta say, you don’t feel as slow as you expect. It’s really just lack of meathook & dashing.

#

I also missed that darker tone 2016 had. It was prefect imo (I love eternal’s tone at the same time but for doom, 2016 had a great balance) still the lack of colors in some level gives a visual blandness eternal def fixed.

#

Also the demons feel like they have no idea what going on and can’t keep up with any kind of weapon switching

#

Eternal is a better game in a lot of ways, but I see no need to ever say 2016 is unplayable

#

(Epic opinion piece no one asked for over)

ornate basin
#

No one said 2016 was unplayable

noble moat
#

^

#

The only reason doom 2016 is unplayable is because my joycons are broken. If somehow I was the one who gave the confusion

elder meadow
#

@fresh hearth If you want colors, load up Boneyard in Multiplayer.

fresh hearth
#

@ornate basin some have

ornate basin
#

I wonder why

fresh hearth
#

Bet they’re nerds

ornate basin
#

Sure playing 2016 after eternal can be a pain

#

But if you’ve played 2016 enough it won’t take long for your brain to switch to 2016 mode

elder meadow
#

Only thing i miss in 2016 is the meathook. That definitely would have helped.

#

As for everything else, i still love Doom 2016 for what it is.

fresh hearth
#

My point was, it’s not as bad as people said it would be. 2016 is still fast shooter. Really tbh it’s just the demons can’t keep up. That’s really the only thing

elder meadow
#

"demons can't keep up"

That one Cyber Mancubus that always has an aimbot: "Are you challenging me?"

fresh hearth
#

Yeah, I literally just play against multiple

elder meadow
#

No seriously, am i the only one who noticed that?

fresh hearth
#

The projectiles or so slow and predictable

noble moat
#

Imp speed ball has entered the chat

elder meadow
#

Sometimes Cyber Mancubus will just snipe you from other side of the map and take away like 60% of your health in one shot.

fresh hearth
#

Just figure 8 horizontally in the air lmao

noble moat
#

Oh man cybermancubus sniping is truly evil

fresh hearth
#

The imp fireballs are doodoo slow lmao

elder meadow
#

Even tho Cyber Mancubus is the biggest pain in the ass, he is still my favorite demon.

#

There is just something so hilarious about him.

noble moat
#

No. The imp speed fireballs

fresh hearth
#

Yeah, ik

noble moat
#

The tiny dot like shits that fly fast and do 35damage

ornate basin
#

Imps and shield guys are the strongest enemies in the game

#

It’s really sad

elder meadow
#

Shield guy: exists

Gauss: Im about to end this man's whole career

fresh hearth
#

The enemy targeting in eternal is different, they try to predict your moments now because they expect you to dash back and forth. In 2016 they would miss on purpose if you’re moving

elder meadow
#

Tell that to Cyber Mancubus megalel

#

And to Baron.

ornate basin
#

How do you have trouble with them

fresh hearth
#

n00bies

elder meadow
#

Because they are fat and have better aim than any of us?

ornate basin
#

Guass cannon

#

It like 2 shots barrons

fresh hearth
#

They have doodoo and and are slow lmao

elder meadow
#

Siege? Yes.

But Siege is gay.

fresh hearth
#

just dodge better lmao

elder meadow
#

If you are spamming Siege you are a puss.

noble moat
#

^

ornate basin
#

Almost any weapon is cheese able

noble moat
#

Unless I do nightmare
No BFG
No certain runes
No double ssg
No siege
No powerups
No holo
No ammo upgrade
Then the game is too easy

The only real way to play doom

ornate basin
#

The only way for this game to be hard is to only use the combat shotgun

#

On nightmare

elder meadow
#

Ok sure

#

Go do Shotgun only Vega Processing

#

I would like to see how many times you will be obliterated.

ornate basin
#

Yeah that would be hard
Which was my point

fresh hearth
#

Imagine thinking Nightmare is hard

elder meadow
#

No BFG
No certain runes
No double ssg
No siege spam
No powerups
No holo
No ammo runes

#

Those are the chad rules.

fresh hearth
#

Chad rules is pistol only UN

ornate basin
#

Does anyone actually use holo anyway

elder meadow
#

And yes the game does become hard.
If you think otherwise then you overestimate your power.

#

Or you just want to be a jerk.

fresh hearth
#

Does anyone actually use holo anyway
It’s actually really good surprisingly

ornate basin
#

I did a pistol only run
I haven’t been the same since

elder meadow
#

I actually never used it in my 250 hours played.

Not once.

#

So i have no idea how effective it is

ornate basin
#

The pistol only run is for people who want to hate this game

fresh hearth
#

doing reserve handicap just shows the games balancing issues

elder meadow
#

Nobody denied that.

#

Eternal has them as well 🤷‍♂️

ornate basin
#

And I beat that pistol only run

#

But it took my soul

noble moat
#

When people keep saying pistol only
That’s not hard, that’s just stupid

ornate basin
#

It’s so much worse then stupid

#

It’s so fucking idiotic

#

That words cannot describe how dumb it is

noble moat
#

Oh I already know it’s dumb, that’s why I’m not going to do it

elder meadow
#

I might do it

ornate basin
#

Don’t do it

fresh hearth
#

When people keep saying pistol only
That’s not hard, that’s just stupid
@noble moat Issa joke

ornate basin
#

Save yourself

elder meadow
#

Cause boredom.
I have nothing else to do.

ornate basin
#

No no no please

noble moat
#

Oh trust me, I forgot who it is but they keep saying to do pistol only

elder meadow
#

Life got so boring, i actually started achievement hunting.

ornate basin
#

I’m begging you

#

It’s not worth it

noble moat
#

Dude Aryzon achievement hunting?

fresh hearth
#

@noble moat you’re still waiting for doom eternal on switch right?

noble moat
#

;-;

fresh hearth
#

My condolences

elder meadow
noble moat
#

It sucks more so that it’s not in the eshop to preorder,
If it was I could at least be playing doom 64 while I wait

elder meadow
#

Bruh lemme tell you something

#

Doom 64 is the most stagnant and repetitive game i have EVER seen.

fresh hearth
#

It’s weird that they haven’t even mentioned the port

elder meadow
#

I doubt i will ever be able to finish it to begin with LMAO

fresh hearth
noble moat
#

The only news we have is from a week before eternals launch when Panic button said thx for the kind words when Marty Stratton said how impressive eternal was on switch.
That was 2.5 months ago

elder meadow
#

Like it is really just

#

Running through identical looking hallways, finding a button, pressing that button. And then trying to find the door that the button opened.

#

That for 32 levels.

flint dune
#

Doom 64? Kind of agree there.

elder meadow
#

At one point i was just done with it. I could not take it anymore.

flint dune
#

I’m replaying D2016’s campaign for the first time in around 10 months. I forgot how inconsistent the ledge grab is...

fresh hearth
#

And the glory kill detection

flint dune
#

Oh yeah, that too. At first I thought 2016 was the better game, I take that back now. Eternal is so much more fun imo.

#

Not having double jump for the first few levels is killing me

ornate basin
#

It’s mean

faint ridge
#

2016 will always be superior for not having an ammo drought

noble moat
#

Then there is me, who purposefully doesn’t upgrade the ammo because I feel there is too much

ornate basin
#

Not having ammo makes you a better player

#

It encourages smarter play then bam ssg

elder meadow
#

Yeah ammo wise 2016 is far more generous, which is why i love the mobile turret so much megalel

#

spray and pray until it is done

faint ridge
#

AMMO RUNE

#

I haven’t played 2016, but I like how the ammo count works in Eternal

faint ridge

you can upgrade your ammo pool in 16
