James Minor Doomguy shows contempt for the complacency of the Sentinels, and she says “what the DEMONS took from YOU”. An argument could me made for Argent D’Nur and it’s people, but with the story conclusions they made it’s pretty clear what they were going for, they probably just left if open for the people that jumped on 2016 and never bothered with the classics so they wouldn’t be dumbfounded by mentions of a bunny for seemingly no reason.
7:17 They're not demon-made holograms. Rogue elements of UAC had a Hell worshipping cult on Earth even after Olivia's death. It's detailed in the codex entries at some point. Those cults are partly why the Hell invasion of Earth still happened, despite the Slayer's efforts on Mars.
@@macks_ nope not all of them. a lot of uac were still led by Hayden, since they at some point developed the BFG 10k, and still had base(s). it's just like the upper leadership of UAC was corrupting the rest into apathy to become demon fodder
"Is this the sequel to Plutonia?!" I am personally convinced that Id took this single phrase, put it through a demonic filter thing, and turned it into code that created ALL of the dlc levels.
I was just as cocky. Doom 2016 gave me the false sense of pride as it was much easier to get through on Ultra-Violent and even Nightmare. Just for giggles I tried to play on Ultra-Nightmare and didn't make it past Hell on Earth. This game is brutal but it just makes you want to get better at it. At first I was scrambling around, playing old style Doom. By the end I was a mini, human sized jet fighter with a nuke loadout tucked under the seat
the hell thralls are neat. gigantic demon titans, but they only apparently have value as slaves. it suggests that they themselves have no real capacity for malice and destruction, so they can only be used for their massive size and mobility, carrying hell barges or holding the chains at nekravol. Even when the hell priest is killed, does the titan retaliate? nah, it just puts the barge down and wanders off. They're actual gentle (demon) giants.
1:08 Mick Gordon was originally told that there could be no metal on the soundtrack. The higher-ups eventually caved and let him make the soundtrack the way it was meant to be made. I imagine he just kicked down the office door and started shredding on his 9 string guitar until they gave in.
he explains what happened during the process in his GDC talk, the geist is that id wanted to avoid the steriotypical metal bullshit and he worked around it by distorting the absolute hell out of it
@@JarJarBinks4ever I kind of agree, I hated Doom 2016's soundtrack at first but it grew on me, especially once I heard some absolute bangers like all the Hell music.
I think the higher ups were fine with metal as a concept they just thought if Mick started with it as the base it wouldn't end well. Seeing how dangerously close to Limp Bizkit that track Civvie played is I can understand why they thought that
Caleb is the king of anti-cringe. He could literally say the most normal, unfunny things, and somehow it comes off as badass and hilarious. "Mmmmm...Better than Kool-aid..."
Better get those tear buckets ready because the Ancient Gods has a double marauder fuckwich which I KNOW will make the scrubs cry harder than anything.
Yeah. Actually, that was my first ever doom i 100% completed as a kid. Even to this day I think the ending is the most metal shit I've ever seen in a game.
I think it's overrated. Other DOOM games do what 64 does, but better. What the other games don't do better at 64 is at least mediocre and on par at. The best thing 64 has going for it is its level design. Not layout mind you, level design. But that's pretty much the only thing, and only accounts for when it was made and what system it was made for. If we actually did comparisons with that then 64 would still lose.
@@BigFry9591 Doom 64 wasn't even talked about basically at all until a few years ago so how in the fuck can it be overrated when it was hardly rated to begin with. Also acting like good level design isn't important in Doom is how we get stupid decisions like trusting that snake in the grass Tim Willits rather than recognizing American McGee had all the best levels in Doom.
@@theninjamaster67 The popularity of something has no influence on rating. Something can be highly rated and next to nobody know about it. If there's something that only you know about, and you give that thing a 10/10, then that thing has a 10/10 so far. So regardless, I think it's overrated. And note that I said that the best thing that Doom 64 had going for it was the level design, but I didn't say whether or not it was good. I'd say it's mediocre. However, the atmosphere is beaten by Doom 3, which beats it in the atmosphere. And the puzzles are just atrocious, but I was generous and just sorta left those out. Then there's also the terrible platforming, with inescapable death pits (there's also those 1 inch wide stairs). If we're gonna talk about good level layout or design, then we need to recognize that Doom 64 is a product of its time, and the other games can beat it at whatever it does.
@@BigFry9591 yeah it might be overrated to you, but who cares about what you think is overrated? It’s not my favorite game but it’s not like you’re stating your opinion for any reason other than to be “well.. on the contrary” guy, since it really doesn’t have any impact on anything.
Funny detail about the UAC hologram lady: Over the course of the game (of which it mostly peaks during the Super Gore Nest level) she completely drops all pretense of this being some innocent family-friendly thing, bluntly telling people to "donate all of their blood", let the demons consume their souls, etc, alongside multiple messages smugly saying that the Doom Slayer can't stop the demonic invasion, then at the final level, she addresses the demons instead, angrily shouting "WOULD SOMEONE KILL THIS IDIOT, PLEASE!?".
I want more lore from this guy. I wanna know everything about him. I don't know if there is lore already but damnit I need to know the shit he went through. Seems badass as fuck.
Its actually a classic Baron, if you look at its body in the model viewer, its a bloody pink, not tan/grey. Plus if theyre gonna bring back an older species, I doubt it would be the species thats a glorified recolor.
Update: practically every level has at least one Archvile starting from the time they're introduced and they summon like 5 monsters at once. Plutonia 2 confirmed
I love Doom Guy. He is 100% the EASIEST protagonist to understand. He only wants to singly handedly be the cause of the complete extinction of all the demons of hell in all dimensions.
Suk Also every mod is Canon now deal with it (source: divinity machine, codex entry) Why the fuck does everybody point to H? why not focus on more interestingly infamous stuff like Pol or extreme weapons pack
Seriously though.... This game should be held on an EXTREMELY high pedestal for pc optimization. It's getting harder and harder to find well optimized across the board pc games, especially in the AAA category. I could go on and on about this..... I just wish more developers took the time and care for the pc community....
Doom 2016 is the most optimized game I've played, running maxed at 1080p with steady 60 fps on with my middling-to-obsolete i7-920 w/1050 ti and no overclocking.
It's absolutely insane, my admittedly rather high end PC never dips below 200fps with RTX on, max detail graphics and 1080p, contrast a terribly optimised game like For Honor where the same PC gets less than 90fps on low detail, no RTX and base 1080p
@@danielhodson6411 Yea man, on my 1080ti I can still max everything and easily push past 200fps somehow. I still end up throttling it down to my monitors refresh rate @ 144hz
I got my PC back in 2016 which even then was considered "lower-medium-end". The fact that a I5-4460 and a friggin' GTX 1050ti can run this game at medium graphic settings at 60 FPS is a accomplishment!
@@anprimchungus261 it was harder for most due to the lower ammo count and the aspect of the chaos with everything happening at once . Some people just are not able to ease into as easily as others.
i found it hilarious that missed the fact that the slayer is the classic doom guy. i wore the classic skin in my playthrough and when that cutscene played i legit thought it was just the skin transitioning over to the flash back
r-j-m _lab same! literally wasn't sure and restarted that "level" with a different skin and was pleasantly surprised. (i say "level" because it was just hallways filled with codexes leading to a boss fight. not even just 2 or 3 arenas on your way there.)
and considering that Samuel mentioned slip gates in the game and the fact that Quake 1 basically played like a proper 3D Doom (and quake 2 almost feels like Doom 3 before 64 and well, the third game. It even had BFG for crying out loud), they might as well merge them into one universe
@@Acorn212 Hexen without puzzles wouldn't be Hexen, and traditional level design in shooters seems to be a thing of the past. Quake is the next logical step honestly. They can make the same type of game but refresh weapons, monsters and locations.
Nah the punching in this one is more accurate like that episode of spongebob where that bully tried to beat spongebob only for nothing to happen, THATS HOW THE NORMAL PUNCHING IS LIKE IN THIS GAME, so sure that joke works in 2016 game but not in this one lol
"And you will be their savior, your strength will be their shield, and your will...their sword. You remain unbroken...for your fight...is Eternal... ...but couldn't you have been more careful?"
**"The bodycount keeps rising, and it's getting harder and harder to justify it. We're not the killers, they are! Try to remember that!"** Alternatively . . . **"You may have gotten the Icon of Sin off the streets, but did you have to take half of LA with him?"** One more, because I find this concept too funny . . . **"Don't be so proud of yourself. Sure, you brought down one of the three hell priests responsible for consuming Earth, but you made the people's park sector look like a war zone!"** Someone needs to make a mod for this game where William Shatner chastises you at the end of every level. I would certainly use it.
I just appreciate how Eternal has brought out all the underground Civvie fans. Take a shot every time someone references either "Ultra-Violence, the gentleman's way to play Doom" or John Carmack as some kind of post-Singularity AI.
The more I play Eternal, the less time I spend platforming. It becomes so simple to pull off that's it's more of a break from the insanity that is Nightmare.
@Leon Johansson you know what would be fucking awesome? ID making a new IP, something so good and so unique that it would blow everything else out of the water. Not that doom or quake are bad franchises, I’m not saying that at all. I’m just excited for what could potentially come from ID with the godlike team that they have.
The first time I completed the game, I was so confused about how people found the platforming frustrating. It’s not hard if you understand the game mechanics, and that’s the point.
"Honestly i have no idea where the series could go from here, how can you make it any faster or more frantic, its not possible!" Ancient Gods 1 and 2: *wheeze*

30:57 I love this glory kill animation. It's like when he catches your fist, he's matching your strength. He still chooses to fight even though his _rib cage_ is exposed. Truly a nemesis to rival the player themselves.
@@ablationer Chaingun, second mod. There's your shield. Did I mention that it only shows up when you shoot his face when he's not attacking? And that it doesn't cover his back or sides from splash damage? Remote det, stickies and shoulder frags are your friends. This has been pro-tips on killing the Marauder.
Gonna be real wit u chief I never did like BFG Division that much, I feel like plenty of other songs on the 2016 OST are better. ToTTFiY is fucking mint though.
Music from Slayer's Gate is pretty good too. (in my opinion even better than The Only Thing They Fear is You) It's so intense! But ok... what is not intense in this soundtrack?
I like to think that the 1-Ups are reminders of Daisy, his rabbit, so that when Doom Slayer gets killed he’s like, “I’M TOO PISSED ABOUT DAISY TO DIE NOW!”
Imo I like the cheesy lines Doomguy says. Sure the game calls him a "god" but in all honesty he's just a dork who runs around collecting funkopops and playing old games on his retro pc build, it really phones home that's he's just a really pissed off dude
@@takerofshits4579 Lmao, I don't mean this in a offensive way but what would be master chief or duke be if doom slayer is "a 12 year old fortnite player on steroids".
@@Shadepen97 Than he’s a chad I suppose. I’ve beaten it on Ultra violence and have no intention of trying again on a higher difficulty, because I’m not suicidal.

I get a lot of comments on my Doom Eternal + AGP1 Videos where people mention that You didn't like this game, and I was under the impression to 'cause your anger at the opening 4 levels stuck with the most from this review. Rewatching it now though, I can tell that's not the case - You even say that it all clicked with you by Super Gore Nest. It's just interesting looking back. The loud parts are just what imprints on people the most even when the points are rectified or changed later on.
It clicked for me when I learned an 8 year old was having an easy time on Ultra-Violent… And I realized I had to let Doom Eternal break me so I could properly learn how to play. And by the end… I became death incarnate!
Man I never got that impression at all from this video. I just figured that like most players, he was caught off guard and adjusting to how much different the combat loop and flow of this game is compared to 2016 It takes a little bit for the game to both just click with you and also for you to unlock all the abilities and upgrades for you to start to feel like you can properly fight back Maybe it takes a bit longer than it needs to but overall it's not that bad. For many it's orobab6hust fine. And I feel like Civvie clearly praises the game more than enough. He just always adds cynicism and humor in this way to everything. Eternal being so unique kind of makes this video unique. Myself I love the game. A lot. But I still have criticisms. I don't think it's perfect. A couple of things really bring it down for me. That being said it's still an A grade shooter and one of the best out there. One of the best this generation 🤷🏻♂️
@@hunterfarr1176 i would advise playing the game on regular nightmare until you only die around 2-3 times in a single playthrough without extra lives before attempting ultra nightmare. You really have to master the game and that only happens after a lot of playing.
@@grokestray669 bruh I'm struggling hard but I'm dedicated to the shits. I want that gold skin, I just wish I had a quick switch for my weapons instead of the weapon wheel
@@hunterfarr1176 there is a quick switch button. Are you on pc or console? On pc you just tap q (the weapon wheel button) instead of holding it. I assume it's the same on console except with the corresponding button.
Obligatory reminder that those "gaming journalists" praised Dark Souls and Demon Souls to hell and back whilst they played with pre-release review copies that didn't have the co op and couldn't rely on the wiki :P
There actually IS a plausible in-story reason for Doomguy ranting: he's been fighting demons for goodness knows how long already, and his mind is more or less almost gone.
@DOAMA In that case, maybe DOOM takes place concurrently with the original Doom? That would explain why nobody learned their lesson the first time, because DOOM *was* the first time.
When getting to that ending...don't forget that there is a season pass with two promised DLCs. So I guess that will wrap up the story a bit better. Thinking about VEGA and what he says when you're in Urdak and all that...
There's also a setup in Urdak where you get several corrax entries about the "seraphim," and then the access panel before you enter the room where you stab the Icon's heart says "welcome, Seraphim"
And i think the pistol is gonna be in those dlc's just incase you missed it from 2016, you can find the pistol in the files and it's neat it shares rifle ammo and does 3 round burst
Yeah everything to do with the father and who the seraphim is pretty intriguing. My takeaway is that the slayer had the spirit of the father injected into him by that makyr which gave him his insane abilities
@Aerial Fork yeah it did throw me off a bit that the game started in the fortress of doom. However i do think there's something more to dr hayden, he was a LOT more sinister in this game than 2016, especially towards the end and the fact that quite possibly hayden is made from makyr technology but that's just me speculating
**Spoiler for an adorable easter egg** In one of the later missions where you’re at the ”soul processing” tower, theres a big hole at the mid/late-mid part of the mission that has a slide/angle at the bottom, forcing you to slide into a combat area and progress through the level, but before you jump down too continue your unholy crusade, look a little to the left, if you don’t see anything use the map to locate the small platform to the left. When you’ve successfully found the platform, jump to it, and behind some bars is none other than hecking Daisy, fully animated and alive. Now, just pause to have a wholesome and happy little moment from all the brutality and violence and appriciate your adorable little pet bunny.
@@pinkpuff8562 yeah man.. hate to burst your bubble but there is a daisy in every single level... how you didn't know that after all this time is the real mystery.
Funny thing: They told him to make it less metal because it went stupidly fast (218 bpm or something like that) and people in testing just couldn't handle it during gameplay, making them lose focus or just get stressed. He just toned down the speed enough so that wouldn't happen.
Um no, they actually told him they didn't want metal or guitars. And to make the game sound like Doom with out metal or guitars. So he did. Then he added guitars anyway and they were like oh we were wrong.
@@Lowlightt No the OP is correct. I think it's the noclip eternal podcast, during the development of eternal apparently the beats of the music similar to the original quakecon 2018 demo did annoy play testers, so they toned it down
It caused me some real problems in the first couple levels, enemies were literally stuck infighting each other on the other side of those red force fields. Had to play the same ballbusting section three times due to that, on top of dying a dozen or so times because I was on UV with a controller :P
3 months after liking your comment, I still, at times, when my strength is low and my will weak, play the intro (and the bit with Novik) and instantly grow back into a full-blown killing machine. I went through 7 jobs in the last months, but it was totally worth it.
I really love this iteration of Doom guy. "Somebody, please, help us." Then he cocks his shotgun. This man is a hero. A brutal, brutal hero and sometimes that's the only type that will do.
@@carljohan9265This is a game series about cartoon demons. Why are you bringing real people and politics into this and comparing real groups of people to fucking video game cannon fodder? crazy shit.
And the SSG from Doom 2. I am honestly amazed when games like Doom got so much stuff so right that after 25 years most games do not come even close in quality in any aspect.
_Edit: Now that I remember it better, 5 is way too generous for my abilities, the UV Marauder stomped my face in closer to 15 times straight_ Kudos to you! I was only playing on UV and he stomped me in face about 5 times in a row before I could get the timing down. He got a _little_ easier to deal with once I became familiar with him and it became a little more fun, but if he was that hardcore on UV, I can’t imagine what he was on UN. Now, his *_fucking dog_*, on the other hand...
Fun fact: The first time I fought the Marauder I mopped the floor with him. But then, when he started to show up as a Mook the tables had turned. To this day I cannot figure out what happened in that first fight...
@@turbochop3300 Probably having other demons as well. That first fight is easy (and in my case I didn't even know the dogs existed) afterwards same for me, I got my ass kicked.
I read this comment and just pictured every voice clip from every class in TF2 playing at once, yet somehow the Soldier scream is the one you’ll be easily able to hear amongst all the others
Except Engie Sniper Medic and, and overall it applies more to the offensive classes than any other ones. I guess maybe a sniper with a lucksman. Also demoman is deeply in there making the whole thing smell of blood and scrumpy.
Boy, I was like "cool, ammo upgrade!", after the upgrade "WTF I wasted a crystal for TWO extra shells??", GTFO game! But you get used to after a while.
I might do a video on the DLC when part 2 is out. I don't really think it's necessary to go through the whole process of making a video if it's just going to be five minutes talking about id trolling everyone. Edit: nah I actually still don't give enough of a shit about the DLC to make a video.
They took everything that people who don't like Doom Eternal complained about and dialed it up to eleven. The entire DLC is like a master level on crack. Faster, more imps fucking everywhere, more platforming, more marauders, way more pressure units like the mancubus, and tyrants thrown at you like fodder. It's great, hurt me more daddy Id.
yeah, except that you can shoot a BFG behind your back (facing the Marauder) and he won't block the tendrils, good window opportunity to lay it down on him while he's stunned
At this point its safe to say they aren't in-fighting, they're sparring to train for the Slayer's arrival. Unfortunately for them, that's boss music they're hearing.
@John Laws I watched a video of Hugo Martin playing the cultist base master level on nightmare with a controller. I don't recall him seriously saying the marauder was a bad idea. It was the only thing that kept killing him / he couldn't beat after a few attempts, though.
Man, I remember seeing videos of people saying how easy the Marauder was, but the video was a dude cycling through like 3 weapons at the speed of light with perfect accuracy.
It's pretty easy, promise. You just need fast hands, and if you don't want to swap 3 just go SSG Rocket SSG. As long as you hit the first one you'll hit all 3. If you wanna do it the really hard way you can kill him in one burst, but THAT one IS hard.
Watch the Zero Master speedrun of this game and you can glean the gist of how you are meant to deal with the Marauder. Zero Master admittedly does it with godlike speed and accuracy but the technique would be the same.
See I won't say that....even though I should because the amount of young kids bitching about the game being too hard makes me remember.....these kids do not know what hard games are.....except for dark souls....that shit is hard
Leif Civvie only adds the PRO tag if he’s well... a pro at the game, meaning he knows the ins and outs of the gameplay, design, levels, secrets, etc. It has absolutely nothing to do with his overall aptitude at FPS games or gaming in general. Plus, Civvie has always had enough integrity to show his mistakes ;)
I mean I've accidentally done that in a panic several times. Forgot how big the splash damage radius is, forgot what weapon i had equipped, or just panic shooting at something that was in my face or charging at me right as i turn around.
1:10 What Mick Gordon was told was that they didn't want electric guitars and they wanted synths, to avoid memey heavy metal. Mick slowly convinced them to start adding guitar stuff back in. He talks about it in a GDC talk called Doom: Behind The Music (available on youtube).
"You've gotta shoot the weakpoints. The game never stops telling you that.".....proceeds to attempt to plasma cacodemon, not disable mancubus arm cannons, or freeze/frag combo on the hell knight. I still love you, Civvie.
Egg Boi is there a problem with having different dominant strategies for a wide cast of unique enemies? Especially when the old doom games pidgeonholed you into either circle strafing or funneling enemies until they died
@@AustinRBa but you can still shoot enemies until they die in eternal. The enemies' health are still the same as it was in 2016, the weakpoints are just there to make things easier.
@@AustinRBa I beat it on UV while almost never hitting weakpoints. I think I only took a potshot here or there with the ballista but if I missed it was back to the old shoot them until they die strategy.
azk ye same I just defied gravity using the super shot gun and blasted everyone left and right. I honestly don’t know why people found this game so difficult on ultra violence I thought it was really fun, I died but it wasn’t infuriating cuz I knew it was my fault
James the Deranged At some point in the game you just ignore the enemy weaknesses and that point is when you get the homing rocket launcher and ballista. The homing rockets tear everything apart. Except marauders.
To fight the marauder: Eyes turn green, hit him with the super shotgun, then switch to ballista or rocket launcher and hit him with a second shot. Can put one down in under 10 seconds.
you can also ssg, ballista, ssg and so on while strafing around him. that way he he'll be constantly stun locked without ever bringing his shield up. marauder done in 5 seconds. honestly the most dangerous enemies for me are the doom hunters and mancubi. like those can literally suck your health away without having time to react sometimes
While the tutorial messages might seem a bit overbearing, what they do is actually very interesting. Instead of giving you a thing that you have to figure out by yourself, the game sacrifices that in order to gain the ability to never have you fight an unfair fight, as the game puts all the cards on the table every time you fight a new guy so you don't helplessly do trial and error until you find something that you *think* works. Personally i think it's actually very nice to let the player know the conditions for victory beforehand so that all that matters is their gameplay performance.
It kinda left a bad taste in my mouth at first, it started making sense as the game went on though. I'm 100% certain there must be a more elegant way of handling it (I'm not going to pretend I know what that is) but fuck it, there's only so much ground you can break in a single game
I think with so much happening at once, I understand why they had to do that, having played many of the combat arenas that are relentless and fast paced, it can be overwhelming to approach each situation with a new element suddenly thrown into the carnage and mayhem occurring in each level's arenas.
Is it really worth the tradeoff of not having a seamless experience just for you to know exactly what you have to do to kill your adversary? Sounds like a pretty lame argument to me, man. Also spoils the need for looking for these weaknesses yourself and furthermore taking more and more control away from the player, something this game is very good at lol
PiGG_MaNN PiGG Hugo talked about this a lot. This isn’t Sekiro, where the fun is in lots of trial and error to find what works and what doesn’t. The fun is in mastering the experience and becoming a badass. The enemy behaviour isn’t immediately obvious and this game can’t be subtle. There’s so much shit going on, it’s like whispering directions while driving a Lambo.

@@LifeofLucidity Hugo was also inspired by He-Man aswell, which you could see when the Slayer charges his crucible up and pulls it out of that little pool
It's kinda hilarious going back to takes from 2020 and seeing all the salt about the Marauder, in light of what came later with the Master Levels and TAG. Even the dual-Marauder fights in those look pretty tame now.
"Imma start the game on Ultra-Violence. I'm sure I won't regret that" Trust me man, I regret playing on Ultra-Violence. I could have played on Nightmare
Tips to fight the Marauder: - You can use the remote detonation on the rocket launcher or (if you can aim it right, but it's harder) grenades/sticky bombs to blow up behind him and bypass the shield. - When you hit him and stop his attack you can quickly switch to the Super shotgun/Ballista to hit him again. Some very good players with precise timing can weapon juggle these 2 and bring him down to 0 health after stopping his attacks once: look it up, there are some clips of it online. - The dog only shows up when you shoot his shield, not that easy to avoid but at least you can see it coming a moment earlier and switch to sticky bombs/super shotgun for a 1-hit kill. - The BFG does not usually work by itself, but if you shoot it above him and then use some other weapon he will block the BFG going behind him and take 2 or 3 ballista/shotgun shots, or even better, block your shots and take damage from the BFG like everything else.
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan You can time it to hit him with the BFG after stunning him by parrying his attack with another gun. Hitting him with the SSG or Ballista when his eyes are green and then quickly switching to the BFG and hitting him with that will kill him immediately if you don't want to bother with him... The timing is a bit tight because of the wind up for the BFG and the speed of the projectile, but you can move in slightly closer as you switch weapons so that he doesn't recover before the BFG hits him... If you're gonna use BFG ammo on the marauder, this is probably the best method to use.
I cheesed some of the fights by firing the bfg right at him when he jumps on / off of ledges, since he is vulnerable for that animation. Since his ai is really predictable when persuing you, it is the easiest way to kill him with the bfg.
I like how the captions slowly deteriorate from being consciously written and having Civvie's exact intonations pronounced to letting TH-cam auto-captions take the wheel.
Can I just say, seeing how good *the OG Doomguy armour* looks here makes me want to cry with joy. I love that older aesthetic of character design that's more bold and less bitty and cluttered than a lot of recent design in games, mostly because of improved graphics tech. I'd love to see *1996 era Duke Nukem* looking like this, rather than the somewhat off and bland DNF design.
I agree, but there is one more skin I like. Ember shows that we have always needed a black doom marine, and the red visor is just the perfect amount of contrast, like a touch of cinnamon in some simple but tasty meatballs.
I wish it were a little less plastic looking. The Fallout 4 armour set looks much the same, and I'd assumed it was just a side-effect of everything in that game looking plastic.
@@nahuelahpa1881 I was just going to say that. 😁 Love the 'complete' Doom armour QC has, but the details of the torn up armour, I feel, add character. Love me some battle damage.
Almost two years later and its funny seeing how everyone has progressed in this game. A lot of the gripes people had in the beginning are now things people really like in levels
@@DOGMA20051 Eternal was a huge letdown after 2016 knocked it out of the park. A massive regression in so many ways. I was so excited for it after how great 2016 was, and Eternal completely killed off the best part of 2016, its simple and satisfying combat.
Aside from the story/cutscenes and the Marauder, this has been the closest thing to a modern AAA boomer shooter that I have ever played. Not a retro throwback like Dusk or Ion Storm, but an honest to god modern big budget title made in the style of old school shooters. No concessions to "realism" here, it is unabashedly videogamey. I like that. I like that this kind of game still has a place in today's videogame market.
Civvie 11, there's another *DOOM* movie, called; *"DOOM: ANNIHILATION."* That went to direct video.... And, well, it has been awhile since you reviewed any movies.... What a better time than now, huh?
Fun Fact: Even though it's the 22nd century in Eternal, the shotgun actually holds less rounds than ones in real life in 2020. The KSG-25 irl holds 25 without needing to reload.
34:19 Shoulda used the Slayer sigil there. Y’know? The one on his helmet, on the hilt of his Crucible, the one shown at the beginning of Doom Eternal, the one on the inside of his tomb at the beginning of 2016’s Doom.
RedBlue Wow I just meant in appearance. I wonder if they thought about the actor’s work on mass effect when it came to the hologram. Or maybe it’s just a cool coincidence. Regardless thanks for the info
Well i always thought it was also added as a dumb joke "Un-maykr" because you can use it to unmake the khan maykr. (other than the lore reasons of course, which are great arguments on their own)
@@rallehop4322 in the game it's stated to be Maykr tech, and the design of the weapon is clearly Maykr in origin. So I think we can interpret it as an attempt by the Maykrs to replicate the Unmaker, which was a demonic weapon.
@@rallehop4322 Not really. The BFG is way better for dealing damage against her. A single direct hit will instantly stun her, and even if it misses, I think it does more damage from the tendrils compared to Unmakyr lasers. EDIT: I completely missed the point of that comment, whoops.
Did my first playthrough on Ultra-Violence, and yeah, this game does *not* mess around. Got a little more doable after I learned the whole "rapidly alternate between SSG and Ballista shots" trick to turn tougher enemies into soup, but even with that every fight still took multiple tries until I got a feel for the arena's layout and enemies, routed a path through it and figured out what needed to die first. Exhausting yet exhilarating to pull off. Word of advice to newcomers to the game: don't be a dummy like me and routinely forget the grenades and flame belch exist. They will save your ass.
It took me 3/4 missions to begin getting the flow, also seeing a video displaying the great power of weapon combos. That sure added a lot of depth and increased fire power! Some idiots calling this easy on UV are a bit foolish, there is a learning curve. A good one mind you and I'm happy that they made the game fair frustration where we only had ourselves to blame. Looking forward to trying Nightmare next :}
Cannot agree enooooooough about the grenades and flame belch, the flame belch about ten times more than the grenades. Frags in this game are monstrously powerful, but I never used them much compared to the Ice Bomb or the holy armor-spilling implement that is the Flame Belch. Exhausting and exhilarating, so much fun. And then once you've beaten the game, you can just turn down the difficulty and charge back through the game with all the cheats enabled. Difficult fun followed by stupid fun, the best fun ever.
I use ice cause frags take time to go big BOOOOOOM, but ice grenades freeze things and with a suit upgrade, they make you do like double damage. mix this with the fully auto shotgun that everyone underestimates, and you got something good. as for flame belch, I just use the mastered SSG. still not as satisfying as the original, doesnt have a sound that could simulate a plane crashing into another.
My first play through was on nightmare and i don't regret it , the absolute amount of chaos and difficulty was what made me keep playing this game is really hard the 3rd level had me repet it about 30 times.
"The Icon of Sin took all of my lives, I was down to nothing before I stopped, breathed, assessed the situation, remembered everything the game's been telling me this whole time--" This right here is the *best* kind of compliment a final boss can receive. Whoever designed that fight, I salute you.
I did it the first time two nights ago. It's a really, really easy fight if you do what I did and just run around the map with the crucible out constantly, hacking down dudes, flame-belching for armour, and then unloading the chaingun on the icon. I died once, and felt a little let down by it. But, thinking back, I call it 'easy', yet i was running around for a good 15-20 minutes and came close to death on several occasions. Urdak, however....oh boy. (Other than the boss, funnily enough. I first-timed that bad boy thanks to the lock-on rockets being overpowered.)
I really dont think the Icon is like that, most of the time he cant hit you if you stay behind the extensive amount of cover that is given to you, you can shot him and he cant shoot you, and you have crucible ammo everywhere to get rid of the other enemies.
I feel like people are really ignoring just how well ID managed to characterize Doom Slayer without any spoken dialogue. Flashback notwithstanding; that is still Doom Guy. Not the Slayer. From the first moment he puts his helmet on, you can see him shake in rage. ... And you can see his pure impatience at least twice when manning giant guns. *CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK*
Tbf Doomguy is already an insane bloodthirsty maniac at that point so any actual talking from him is of course going to be not what any rational people would expect.
@@gabzdark07 except the bits where he straightens the hell priests crown for no other reason than to be funny (can't have you looking shabby in death, pal), cocks the shotgun at the other priests, the impatient clicking, coming up with the BFG into Mars idea, playing with the toys, the way he decorates his fortress, treating Sam with total irreverence and so on
im glad im not the only one who thought "Daisy?" when she made that one offer.
You can find daisy all over the levels too, maybe she really was talking about daisy
James Minor Doomguy shows contempt for the complacency of the Sentinels, and she says “what the DEMONS took from YOU”. An argument could me made for Argent D’Nur and it’s people, but with the story conclusions they made it’s pretty clear what they were going for, they probably just left if open for the people that jumped on 2016 and never bothered with the classics so they wouldn’t be dumbfounded by mentions of a bunny for seemingly no reason.

They're not demon-made holograms. Rogue elements of UAC had a Hell worshipping cult on Earth even after Olivia's death. It's detailed in the codex entries at some point. Those cults are partly why the Hell invasion of Earth still happened, despite the Slayer's efforts on Mars.
Not rogue elements even. I believe the entire corporation became a cult thanks to a hell priest

@@macks_ nope not all of them. a lot of uac were still led by Hayden, since they at some point developed the BFG 10k, and still had base(s). it's just like the upper leadership of UAC was corrupting the rest into apathy to become demon fodder

Not sure why but i didnt have that much issue with it... Okay until i got to nekroval... Man that things a bitch.
I was just as cocky. Doom 2016 gave me the false sense of pride as it was much easier to get through on Ultra-Violent and even Nightmare. Just for giggles I tried to play on Ultra-Nightmare and didn't make it past Hell on Earth. This game is brutal but it just makes you want to get better at it. At first I was scrambling around, playing old style Doom. By the end I was a mini, human sized jet fighter with a nuke loadout tucked under the seat
It was so fucking worth it though
It's not a "flying ship" in the beginning: You were riding that giant demon, who was carrying the building you were in.
Actually, if you look behind you, you can see that the barge you play in is actually just on the ground
@@bronkolie the hell priest had a psionic connection with the Titan, and when you kill him he drops it on the ground.
@@manniacc2681 the hell priests have more a Connection to the Hell Barges then the Titans.
@@bronkolie Yeah, the big demon put it down when the priest died. That's what all the shaking and sliding around was right before you jump out.
the hell thralls are neat. gigantic demon titans, but they only apparently have value as slaves. it suggests that they themselves have no real capacity for malice and destruction, so they can only be used for their massive size and mobility, carrying hell barges or holding the chains at nekravol. Even when the hell priest is killed, does the titan retaliate? nah, it just puts the barge down and wanders off. They're actual gentle (demon) giants.
1:08 Mick Gordon was originally told that there could be no metal on the soundtrack. The higher-ups eventually caved and let him make the soundtrack the way it was meant to be made. I imagine he just kicked down the office door and started shredding on his 9 string guitar until they gave in.
Probably also followed them home while playing too.
he explains what happened during the process in his GDC talk, the geist is that id wanted to avoid the steriotypical metal bullshit and he worked around it by distorting the absolute hell out of it
It would've been better tbh, Mick Gordon's idea of metal is pretty shit
@@JarJarBinks4ever I kind of agree, I hated Doom 2016's soundtrack at first but it grew on me, especially once I heard some absolute bangers like all the Hell music.

'Seeing Doom 64 get a re-release is like seeing someone right a great injustice'
Fucking spot on. Criminally underlooked game.
Yeah. Actually, that was my first ever doom i 100% completed as a kid. Even to this day I think the ending is the most metal shit I've ever seen in a game.
I think it's overrated. Other DOOM games do what 64 does, but better. What the other games don't do better at 64 is at least mediocre and on par at. The best thing 64 has going for it is its level design. Not layout mind you, level design. But that's pretty much the only thing, and only accounts for when it was made and what system it was made for. If we actually did comparisons with that then 64 would still lose.
@@BigFry9591 Doom 64 wasn't even talked about basically at all until a few years ago so how in the fuck can it be overrated when it was hardly rated to begin with.
Also acting like good level design isn't important in Doom is how we get stupid decisions like trusting that snake in the grass Tim Willits rather than recognizing American McGee had all the best levels in Doom.
@@theninjamaster67 The popularity of something has no influence on rating. Something can be highly rated and next to nobody know about it. If there's something that only you know about, and you give that thing a 10/10, then that thing has a 10/10 so far. So regardless, I think it's overrated.
And note that I said that the best thing that Doom 64 had going for it was the level design, but I didn't say whether or not it was good. I'd say it's mediocre. However, the atmosphere is beaten by Doom 3, which beats it in the atmosphere. And the puzzles are just atrocious, but I was generous and just sorta left those out. Then there's also the terrible platforming, with inescapable death pits (there's also those 1 inch wide stairs). If we're gonna talk about good level layout or design, then we need to recognize that Doom 64 is a product of its time, and the other games can beat it at whatever it does.
@@BigFry9591 yeah it might be overrated to you, but who cares about what you think is overrated? It’s not my favorite game but it’s not like you’re stating your opinion for any reason other than to be “well.. on the contrary” guy, since it really doesn’t have any impact on anything.
Funny detail about the UAC hologram lady: Over the course of the game (of which it mostly peaks during the Super Gore Nest level) she completely drops all pretense of this being some innocent family-friendly thing, bluntly telling people to "donate all of their blood", let the demons consume their souls, etc, alongside multiple messages smugly saying that the Doom Slayer can't stop the demonic invasion, then at the final level, she addresses the demons instead, angrily shouting "WOULD SOMEONE KILL THIS IDIOT, PLEASE!?".

MARAUDERS UNDER BUFF TOTEM
"MOAR!!! *MOAR* moar~"
Seriously though.... This game should be held on an EXTREMELY high pedestal for pc optimization. It's getting harder and harder to find well optimized across the board pc games, especially in the AAA category. I could go on and on about this..... I just wish more developers took the time and care for the pc community....
Doom 2016 is the most optimized game I've played, running maxed at 1080p with steady 60 fps on with my middling-to-obsolete i7-920 w/1050 ti and no overclocking.
It's absolutely insane, my admittedly rather high end PC never dips below 200fps with RTX on, max detail graphics and 1080p, contrast a terribly optimised game like For Honor where the same PC gets less than 90fps on low detail, no RTX and base 1080p
@@danielhodson6411 Yea man, on my 1080ti I can still max everything and easily push past 200fps somehow. I still end up throttling it down to my monitors refresh rate @ 144hz
And then Bethesda snuck in Denuvo after release...
I got my PC back in 2016 which even then was considered "lower-medium-end". The fact that a I5-4460 and a friggin' GTX 1050ti can run this game at medium graphic settings at 60 FPS is a accomplishment!

same! literally wasn't sure and restarted that "level" with a different skin and was pleasantly surprised.

Same exact thing happened to me untill I saw a video in my feed of people reacting to it
Thankful for me I didn't wear any skins until the second to last level.(and it was the crimson skin)

"Where can they go from here?"
The amount of castles and dark architecture isn't screaming "Quake" to you?
Its either that or another doom game (because of the ending and a few other things)
and considering that Samuel mentioned slip gates in the game and the fact that Quake 1 basically played like a proper 3D Doom (and quake 2 almost feels like Doom 3 before 64 and well, the third game. It even had BFG for crying out loud), they might as well merge them into one universe

@@TheCorrodedMan As long as you enjoy the game thats all that matters.
I get a lot of comments on my Doom Eternal + AGP1 Videos where people mention that You didn't like this game, and I was under the impression to 'cause your anger at the opening 4 levels stuck with the most from this review. Rewatching it now though, I can tell that's not the case - You even say that it all clicked with you by Super Gore Nest.
It's just interesting looking back. The loud parts are just what imprints on people the most even when the points are rectified or changed later on.
Indeed.
It clicked for me when I got to arc complex
It clicked for me when I learned an 8 year old was having an easy time on Ultra-Violent…
And I realized I had to let Doom Eternal break me so I could properly learn how to play. And by the end… I became death incarnate!
I got into the zone after getting the rocket launcher. (flame blech almost felt the same)
Man I never got that impression at all from this video.
I just figured that like most players, he was caught off guard and adjusting to how much different the combat loop and flow of this game is compared to 2016
It takes a little bit for the game to both just click with you and also for you to unlock all the abilities and upgrades for you to start to feel like you can properly fight back
Maybe it takes a bit longer than it needs to but overall it's not that bad. For many it's orobab6hust fine. And I feel like Civvie clearly praises the game more than enough. He just always adds cynicism and humor in this way to everything.
Eternal being so unique kind of makes this video unique.
Myself I love the game. A lot. But I still have criticisms. I don't think it's perfect. A couple of things really bring it down for me.
That being said it's still an A grade shooter and one of the best out there. One of the best this generation 🤷🏻♂️
The platforming is the breather for when you're playing Ultra Nightmare
Nonstop combat in Ultra Nightmare would have sent me into cardiac arrest IRL
Ultra nightmare is a bitch. I'm on the sticks and like one week of attempts.
@@hunterfarr1176 i would advise playing the game on regular nightmare until you only die around 2-3 times in a single playthrough without extra lives before attempting ultra nightmare. You really have to master the game and that only happens after a lot of playing.

Obligatory reminder that those "gaming journalists" praised Dark Souls and Demon Souls to hell and back whilst they played with pre-release review copies that didn't have the co op and couldn't rely on the wiki :P
There actually IS a plausible in-story reason for Doomguy ranting: he's been fighting demons for goodness knows how long already, and his mind is more or less almost gone.
Wouldn’t say gone he is just channeling his unbridled hatred as well as getting over his hell ptsd from doom 64...
@DOAMA Well, maybe not THAT long
@DOAMA In that case, maybe DOOM takes place concurrently with the original Doom? That would explain why nobody learned their lesson the first time, because DOOM *was* the first time.
@@olivermorin3303 nah that would be a time paradox
@@bladeb5163 How? What self-contradicting event would occur?
I respect Civvie a lot for admitting he dropped the difficulty.
When getting to that ending...don't forget that there is a season pass with two promised DLCs. So I guess that will wrap up the story a bit better. Thinking about VEGA and what he says when you're in Urdak and all that...
Such a crazy moment!!!! Really makes you think if you read the codecs
There's also a setup in Urdak where you get several corrax entries about the "seraphim," and then the access panel before you enter the room where you stab the Icon's heart says "welcome, Seraphim"
And i think the pistol is gonna be in those dlc's just incase you missed it from 2016, you can find the pistol in the files and it's neat it shares rifle ammo and does 3 round burst
Yeah everything to do with the father and who the seraphim is pretty intriguing. My takeaway is that the slayer had the spirit of the father injected into him by that makyr which gave him his insane abilities
@Aerial Fork yeah it did throw me off a bit that the game started in the fortress of doom. However i do think there's something more to dr hayden, he was a LOT more sinister in this game than 2016, especially towards the end and the fact that quite possibly hayden is made from makyr technology but that's just me speculating
**Spoiler for an adorable easter egg**
In one of the later missions where you’re at the ”soul processing” tower, theres a big hole at the mid/late-mid part of the mission that has a slide/angle at the bottom, forcing you to slide into a combat area and progress through the level, but before you jump down too continue your unholy crusade, look a little to the left, if you don’t see anything use the map to locate the small platform to the left. When you’ve successfully found the platform, jump to it, and behind some bars is none other than hecking Daisy, fully animated and alive.

Funny thing:
They told him to make it less metal because it went stupidly fast (218 bpm or something like that) and people in testing just couldn't handle it during gameplay, making them lose focus or just get stressed. He just toned down the speed enough so that wouldn't happen.

@John Laws I watched a video of Hugo Martin playing the cultist base master level on nightmare with a controller. I don't recall him seriously saying the marauder was a bad idea. It was the only thing that kept killing him / he couldn't beat after a few attempts, though.
Man, I remember seeing videos of people saying how easy the Marauder was, but the video was a dude cycling through like 3 weapons at the speed of light with perfect accuracy.
It's pretty easy, promise. You just need fast hands, and if you don't want to swap 3 just go SSG Rocket SSG. As long as you hit the first one you'll hit all 3.
If you wanna do it the really hard way you can kill him in one burst, but THAT one IS hard.
Watch the Zero Master speedrun of this game and you can glean the gist of how you are meant to deal with the Marauder. Zero Master admittedly does it with godlike speed and accuracy but the technique would be the same.

To fight the marauder: Eyes turn green, hit him with the super shotgun, then switch to ballista or rocket launcher and hit him with a second shot. Can put one down in under 10 seconds.
You can get two SSG blasts in too
@@aziztcf 2 SSG and ballista you're saying?
yeah theres an extra window in his vulnerability frames and you can sneak a second ssg after the ballista if youre fast enough
@@superjchamma You can one shot him with the BFG but the timing is pretty tough to get right. Didn't try myself, i actually like fighting the guy.
you can also ssg, ballista, ssg and so on while strafing around him. that way he he'll be constantly stun locked without ever bringing his shield up. marauder done in 5 seconds. honestly the most dangerous enemies for me are the doom hunters and mancubi. like those can literally suck your health away without having time to react sometimes
"This is my life now: cringe and radioactive mice". I can relate.
While the tutorial messages might seem a bit overbearing, what they do is actually very interesting.
Instead of giving you a thing that you have to figure out by yourself, the game sacrifices that in order to gain the ability to never have you fight an unfair fight, as the game puts all the cards on the table every time you fight a new guy so you don't helplessly do trial and error until you find something that you *think* works.
Personally i think it's actually very nice to let the player know the conditions for victory beforehand so that all that matters is their gameplay performance.
It kinda left a bad taste in my mouth at first, it started making sense as the game went on though. I'm 100% certain there must be a more elegant way of handling it (I'm not going to pretend I know what that is) but fuck it, there's only so much ground you can break in a single game
I think with so much happening at once, I understand why they had to do that, having played many of the combat arenas that are relentless and fast paced, it can be overwhelming to approach each situation with a new element suddenly thrown into the carnage and mayhem occurring in each level's arenas.
Is it really worth the tradeoff of not having a seamless experience just for you to know exactly what you have to do to kill your adversary? Sounds like a pretty lame argument to me, man. Also spoils the need for looking for these weaknesses yourself and furthermore taking more and more control away from the player, something this game is very good at lol
PiGG_MaNN PiGG Hugo talked about this a lot. This isn’t Sekiro, where the fun is in lots of trial and error to find what works and what doesn’t. The fun is in mastering the experience and becoming a badass. The enemy behaviour isn’t immediately obvious and this game can’t be subtle.

Tips to fight the Marauder:
- You can use the remote detonation on the rocket launcher or (if you can aim it right, but it's harder) grenades/sticky bombs to blow up behind him and bypass the shield.
- When you hit him and stop his attack you can quickly switch to the Super shotgun/Ballista to hit him again. Some very good players with precise timing can weapon juggle these 2 and bring him down to 0 health after stopping his attacks once: look it up, there are some clips of it online.
- The dog only shows up when you shoot his shield, not that easy to avoid but at least you can see it coming a moment earlier and switch to sticky bombs/super shotgun for a 1-hit kill.
- The BFG does not usually work by itself, but if you shoot it above him and then use some other weapon he will block the BFG going behind him and take 2 or 3 ballista/shotgun shots, or even better, block your shots and take damage from the BFG like everything else.
you can also probably time a BFG shot to hit him while he's doing the swing
The dog also shows up when demons shoot his shield, which is a thing that can happen.
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan You can time it to hit him with the BFG after stunning him by parrying his attack with another gun. Hitting him with the SSG or Ballista when his eyes are green and then quickly switching to the BFG and hitting him with that will kill him immediately if you don't want to bother with him...
The timing is a bit tight because of the wind up for the BFG and the speed of the projectile, but you can move in slightly closer as you switch weapons so that he doesn't recover before the BFG hits him...
If you're gonna use BFG ammo on the marauder, this is probably the best method to use.
I cheesed some of the fights by firing the bfg right at him when he jumps on / off of ledges, since he is vulnerable for that animation.
Since his ai is really predictable when persuing you, it is the easiest way to kill him with the bfg.
Super cheese, he’s stunned by the grenadine shockwave mod. You can just sword or BFG him if you throw a grenade first

Can I just say, seeing how good *the OG Doomguy armour* looks here makes me want to cry with joy.
I love that older aesthetic of character design that's more bold and less bitty and cluttered than a lot of recent design in games, mostly because of improved graphics tech. I'd love to see *1996 era Duke Nukem* looking like this, rather than the somewhat off and bland DNF design.
I agree, but there is one more skin I like. Ember shows that we have always needed a black doom marine, and the red visor is just the perfect amount of contrast, like a touch of cinnamon in some simple but tasty meatballs.
I wish it were a little less plastic looking. The Fallout 4 armour set looks much the same, and I'd assumed it was just a side-effect of everything in that game looking plastic.

@CYKA BLYAT95 yea, we've had two now.
Pro Doom Annihilation when Civvie?

Man, That was a Comically large Demon.

@@UnfitElvis3rd i love this reply
Underrated comment.
But that means it's got big guts, and you know what that means
@@AndrewB383 rip and tear?
Fun Fact: Even though it's the 22nd century in Eternal, the shotgun actually holds less rounds than ones in real life in 2020. The KSG-25 irl holds 25 without needing to reload.
But does it spin and turn into a gattling mini shotun?
@@memeskeyoch3375 i mean if you gave it to Jerry Miculek probably
@@fruitylerlups530 That man can turn a musket into a gattling mini musket
The same kind of thing was pissing me off with the assault rifle in Serious Sam 3.
But can the KSG reload by just picking shells off the floor?
Exactly.
I see what you've done.
You're preparing the terrain to pull a Pro Doom Eternal later down the road.
You're not fooling me.
If this video is any indication It's probably gonna take years before he turns into a pro at this game
@@jakewolf079 see ya in 20 years
34:19 Shoulda used the Slayer sigil there. Y’know? The one on his helmet, on the hilt of his Crucible, the one shown at the beginning of Doom Eternal, the one on the inside of his tomb at the beginning of 2016’s Doom.
It's a uac hologram. And we know that they're under demonic influence.
Also she reminds me of an asari from Mass effect
RedBlue Wow I just meant in appearance. I wonder if they thought about the actor’s work on mass effect when it came to the hologram.
Or maybe it’s just a cool coincidence.
Regardless thanks for the info
At least the one in mass effect didn't want all my blood lol
Gross, squid-heads.
Hmm I don't know i feel like I need most of my blood, can I think on the offer?
I noticed that too! The Asari thing not the blood.
The "Y" in Unmakyr is not unnecessary. They are clearly tying the lore of the Unmaykr to the Maykr race
Well i always thought it was also added as a dumb joke "Un-maykr" because you can use it to unmake the khan maykr. (other than the lore reasons of course, which are great arguments on their own)
@@rallehop4322 in the game it's stated to be Maykr tech, and the design of the weapon is clearly Maykr in origin. So I think we can interpret it as an attempt by the Maykrs to replicate the Unmaker, which was a demonic weapon.
@@ChamiCh It's stated as Maykrs making a weapon based on Sentinel designs.
And why's there a Y in Maykr? Oh my god, I fell for the bait...
@@rallehop4322 Not really. The BFG is way better for dealing damage against her. A single direct hit will instantly stun her, and even if it misses, I think it does more damage from the tendrils compared to Unmakyr lasers.
EDIT: I completely missed the point of that comment, whoops.
Did my first playthrough on Ultra-Violence, and yeah, this game does *not* mess around. Got a little more doable after I learned the whole "rapidly alternate between SSG and Ballista shots" trick to turn tougher enemies into soup, but even with that every fight still took multiple tries until I got a feel for the arena's layout and enemies, routed a path through it and figured out what needed to die first. Exhausting yet exhilarating to pull off.
Word of advice to newcomers to the game: don't be a dummy like me and routinely forget the grenades and flame belch exist. They will save your ass.
It took me 3/4 missions to begin getting the flow, also seeing a video displaying the great power of weapon combos. That sure added a lot of depth and increased fire power! Some idiots calling this easy on UV are a bit foolish, there is a learning curve. A good one mind you and I'm happy that they made the game fair frustration where we only had ourselves to blame. Looking forward to trying Nightmare next :}
Cannot agree enooooooough about the grenades and flame belch, the flame belch about ten times more than the grenades. Frags in this game are monstrously powerful, but I never used them much compared to the Ice Bomb or the holy armor-spilling implement that is the Flame Belch.
Exhausting and exhilarating, so much fun. And then once you've beaten the game, you can just turn down the difficulty and charge back through the game with all the cheats enabled. Difficult fun followed by stupid fun, the best fun ever.
@Super Simba6, frost grenades will work on the doom hunter, but only when he becomes a regular enemy.
I use ice cause frags take time to go big BOOOOOOM, but ice grenades freeze things and with a suit upgrade, they make you do like double damage. mix this with the fully auto shotgun that everyone underestimates, and you got something good.
as for flame belch, I just use the mastered SSG. still not as satisfying as the original, doesnt have a sound that could simulate a plane crashing into another.
My first play through was on nightmare and i don't regret it , the absolute amount of chaos and difficulty was what made me keep playing this game is really hard the 3rd level had me repet it about 30 times.
Civvie is a master at boomer shooters and struggled with Ultra Violence. That makes me feel better because UV kicked me into the dirt when I tried it
after 100%ing eternal on HMP i tried nightmare, and was taught a very valuable lesson in humility
That's the thint, doom eternal isn't a boomer shooter, it's a zoomer shooter.
"We will return what hell has taken from you so long ago." - "Daisy?" Had to hit that like button right on that! :-)
Markus-Hermann Koch daisy is alive still in this game you can find her in certain missions
In every mission
"The Icon of Sin took all of my lives, I was down to nothing before I stopped, breathed, assessed the situation, remembered everything the game's been telling me this whole time--"
This right here is the *best* kind of compliment a final boss can receive. Whoever designed that fight, I salute you.
If a boss fight makes use of everything you've learned so far, that's super fulfulling
I did it the first time two nights ago. It's a really, really easy fight if you do what I did and just run around the map with the crucible out constantly, hacking down dudes, flame-belching for armour, and then unloading the chaingun on the icon.
I died once, and felt a little let down by it. But, thinking back, I call it 'easy', yet i was running around for a good 15-20 minutes and came close to death on several occasions.
Urdak, however....oh boy. (Other than the boss, funnily enough. I first-timed that bad boy thanks to the lock-on rockets being overpowered.)
Favorite boss fight ever
Funny enough when I first beat the Icon me and him died at the same time so I had to redo the fight.
I really dont think the Icon is like that, most of the time he cant hit you if you stay behind the extensive amount of cover that is given to you, you can shot him and he cant shoot you, and you have crucible ammo everywhere to get rid of the other enemies.
I feel like people are really ignoring just how well ID managed to characterize Doom Slayer without any spoken dialogue.
Flashback notwithstanding; that is still Doom Guy. Not the Slayer.
From the first moment he puts his helmet on, you can see him shake in rage.
... And you can see his pure impatience at least twice when manning giant guns.
*CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK*
Tbf Doomguy is already an insane bloodthirsty maniac at that point so any actual talking from him is of course going to be not what any rational people would expect.
"Would you like me to override--" *CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK*
He was almost a robot in this game... barely any characterization at all.
@@gabzdark07 except the bits where he straightens the hell priests crown for no other reason than to be funny (can't have you looking shabby in death, pal), cocks the shotgun at the other priests, the impatient clicking, coming up with the BFG into Mars idea, playing with the toys, the way he decorates his fortress, treating Sam with total irreverence and so on
@@JamalPollok You understand it.
