DOOM ETERNAL first dlc drops in October

[MrBourbon]

Haven't replayed this since finishing the campaign and getting the Unmaykr but I'm definitely going to get this add-on.

The last 2 seconds of the video made my eye start twitching though. Those fukken things.

[tekkenbruh]

Marauders at the end are like

Spoiler!

If id patches out the speedrunning method of killing them, these *******s gonna ruin people's sanity. inb4 IGN gives it 5/10 or something because "too hard" like they did with Alien: Isolation lmao

[LtGoose]

Season Pass holder checking in

Can't wait for this to drop

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Fuk yes, I will be get this ASAP.

Dear God at two Mauraders though...... they were so damn annoying.

[havoc00]

2016 was much better, I hated all the platforming tbh

[LegendKiIIer]

I quit after a few hours of playing. I got bored of killing the same types of monsters over and over. Are there a lot of bosses throughout the campaign? Might try again and get the DLC later.

This was my one complaint. I could have done without that.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Cant wait to get the GOTY Edition with all DLCs. Just cant buy it now cuz got others to finish.

I plat the 2016 though.

The platforming was not great, but didn't ruin this one for me.

Looking forward to the DLC.

I'm glad they didn't just make the same game twice. But yeah, didn't much care for the platforming.

Combat in eternal is so much better, the mobility makes it for me.

I was going to pick up Doom Eternal last time it was on sale, but I heard a patch added some terrible DRM software or something that killed it. Is that still an issue or should I go for it? I've loved every Doom game.

Had to google what you're talking about, looks like an anti-cheat software. https://www.techspot.com/news/85263-...rnel-mode.html

So not DRM but probably pretty nosy in the kernel. You have the option to disable it. https://www.pcinvasion.com/doom-eter...in-new-update/

Game kicks absolute ass. It and 2016 Doom are two of the best Shooters I've ever played.

[littlecaesars59]

couldn't get multiplayer to work sadly

[blissful88]

I'll most likely buy the DLC(or is it free..? Should be imo)


Wasn't all that impressed with eternal, thought it was a huge downgrade from 2016's atmosphere and design, also the shading & texture resolutions were worse overall. Was kind of shocked.

[Les Paul]

Cannot wait for this. I thought Doom Eternal was amazing. Two Marauders? Yikes!

Also, will we have to destroy Vega/The Father ??

[VTheKing]

Looking forward to it. Did 3 playthroughs of the main game, but sadly didn't git gud enough to power through Ultra-Nightmare. Hope this is a nice challenge nevertheless.

[Weezy32]

2016 was much better, I hated all the platforming tbh

I 100 percent agree. 2016 was all about combat and action non stop action. The new one was way too much platforming and stupid puzzles that did nothing but slow down the gameplay.

I don’t mind puzzles but these were the dumb kind of puzzles where they give no satisfaction once you actually solve it.


Still loved the game just not as much as 2016.

The final boss fight in Eternal was the best boss final boss in any game I ever played imo.

How much is the individual dlc gonna be?

[LtGoose]

Just throwing this out here if you like Doom

[ChangeOfStyle]

Been following the story from the first part and it's honestly intriguing but confusing as fuk

Can't figure out if he's an evil dude or not or was evil then turned good but still has that demonic side to him

"You’ll probably need to turn down the difficulty for the Doom Eternal DLC"

Even Hugo was all "Two Marauder's? Man are we dicks or what"

[TheBannedBrah]

I don't see how some of you prefer 2016. Sure there may have beem too much platforming but the actual combat blows 2016 out of the water. Can't even go back to it, it's so slow. Plus the environments are much better in Eternal.

Awesome, appreciate the cliffs. Just watched all the cutscenes from 2016 doom to DOOM; Eternal and he seems like the most alpha protagonist in gaming

2 marauders can eat my balls >=[

Yeahhhhh I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be able to re-play this game/DLC on a controller, it was genuinely difficult even with a mouse

Idk how people aim fast with joysticks, I can't do it mane

[badreligion]

There is an add on out for the game that is essentially like a survival mode and I've seen 3 or more Marauders in it

[nkiritsis13]

Looks like the new composers for the DLC is Andrew Hulshult and David Levy, which I'm honestly pretty excited to hear. I know they did Mick dirty and I hope they don't do the same to these guys later on down the road with Doom (???), but as a metal head... just hear for yourself:



Andrew Hulshult also did the soundtrack for Dusk, which listening to a just a bit is f*cking killer:

Wasn't all that impressed with eternal, thought it was a huge downgrade from 2016's atmosphere and design, also the shading & texture resolutions were worse overall. Was kind of shocked.

In case you never found out and for anyone else wondering, it's $19.99 for the DLC, which can be purchased standalone (no Doom Eternal required), or it comes in the season pass for $29.99.

I've been holding out for the inevitable complete edition + discount because as much as I loved Doom 2016, I felt similarly because when I was done, it felt like there wasn't a lot there for (close to) full price at the time.

And yeah, the entire look went way too far in the overly-vibrant, sometimes cartoonish direction. It's really crazy when people claim that classic Doom was "always cartoonish," when it was practically the closest they could get to realistic graphics for the time, seeing as they literally scanned real life images of clay sculptures for the game.

Honestly, I really hope there is some way to just tone down all of the bright, glowing noise thrown about everywhere; it looks like a damn rave throughout a lot of gameplay, and I'm not sure that the "render modes" will be enough:

From everything I've seen and read, that's part of why I'm fine with waiting for the complete package.

Doom 2016 had the perfect amount of platforming if you had to have any for this kind of game, so why in the hell they thought to double down on not only the platforming, but the exposition/cutscenes as well blows my mind because the restraint on those things was part of what made people like Doom 2016.

First thing I'm probably going to do is install a mod to bump up the ammo back to how it was originally teased (early Eternal footage had normal ammo counts versus release), plus something to make melee functional again.

My own gripe is that I'm simply not a fan of "powers" or "abilities" and the cooldown bollocks that seems to plague games these days, and they went overboard on that for my own tastes compared to the relatively simple yet elegant approach 2016 took. Get your MOBA/Overwatch out of my Doom, and we're good.

[blissful88]

^I'm not reading that absolute novel above me but they're charging $20 for the DLC after we already bought the game? LOL WHAT


I only paid $35 for Eternal right after launch, this DLC better be 8 hours long you ******* devs
