This feels like a repeat of Wendigoon, where I stumble onto someone with criminally low views for their script and production quality and then (hopefully) watch them blow up. Great work, man.
regarding spirit possessed demons you can actually use the microwave beam to stun them for a sec if things goes haywire(yes its the only weapon mod that stuns possessed), don't use it to try to kill a possessed demon though, it will take ages use lock on rockets for them around 2 cycles of lockon rockets will put a possessed hellknight, arachnotron into stagger state. The spirit possessed demons have really high resistances to super shotgun and ballista, and its actually introduced to counteract the overusage of the super shotgun and ballista quick switch technique.
Lock-On Burst deletes possessed Hell Knights in seconds. The wacky thing about the spirits is that they have a bunch of weird individual resistances to different weapons and even weapon mods instead of simple damage resistance, and the only way to know that is to code dive (or watch decino's excellent video).
I honestly didn't think about using the rocket launcher since they close the gap so quickly, I'll give it a try. I wasn't aware decino did an Eternal video like that, thanks for that one. I knew that they had some weird specific resistances, like they don't falter or get frost bombed, but like you said it's too specific to figure out on your own, so I just cut it out of the video in case I was wrong about a certain resistance. I still think they're bad, and now I'm just more confused since it seems like more effort was put into them than I previously thought.
@@Toastoffire100 Lock-On in general is a very strong mod, though I never mastered the PB-rocket switch, I've seen people outputting insane DPS with it. I think Spirits are fun, there's nothing wrong with occasionally just testing player's raw dodging and evading skills, but those weird individual resistances are inelegant and contrary to the whole "teaching the player how to fight the monster beforehand" design they have with all those pop-up tutorials. Then again, would I know that Barons and Tyrants only take 50% damage from Lock-On Burst if I didn't watch this excellent video with 400 views (which was very hard to find again): th-cam.com/video/kyy7g5tl6ms/w-d-xo.html Nah. I still use Lock-On against them, btw.
I preferred Doom 2016, honestly. It had a core gameplay loop in mind, but you could play it a variety of ways. Want to snipe of some enemies and then run laps around the map, picking the rest off? Sure. Doom Eternal FORCES you to play its balls to the wall hyper-aggro style, which will fun and everything, gets annoying because it doesn't feel organic.
Getting meta isn't a problem by itself, but don't break confidence too often or in quick succession. Breaking the glamor of professionalism is only funny if it's rare, and publicly doubting your confidence in your own script can be off-putting. People should watch one of your videos, _then_ notice your channel is the size of an ant and be genuinely confused as to how that's even possible. Which is what happened to me when I saw the cruelty squad video. tl;dr aplomb good, not just for dancing
Great advice, thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind (and now I know what "aplomb" means) It happened in the cruelty squad video because I was really unhappy with the way it sounded as it was coming together, and I just kinda went "fuck it, nobody cares" (boy was i fuckin wrong)
7:42 You’re gonna find that piece in the immora soundtrack near the end, Different mixes put it around different places, but it’s mostly near the end And even though I’ve played doom eternal hundreds of times, it’s always something to listen to the game get sucked off like it deserves
Always thought the Spirits were the way to test few things at once: 1. Your ability of discern the threat of possessed creature vs the entire meatsquad currently present; Usually there's some additional enemies that will do you in before you deal with the spirit if you do spirit first 2. Your ability to actually deal fuckton of DPS through weapon-swap, usage of specific weapon-mods (such as lock-on RL). 3. Your ability to actively avoid damage while banishing the spirit with beam. Oh, and Samur fight was the hardest and tightest shit in the entire game. Although i played the first DLC on release, without subsequent changes, so your expirience might be different.
My only problem with the Marauder is that the ballista + shotgun combo is so effective that facing him felt like they game was forcing me to play that way, so it just ended being boring fights that took away the freedom
Great video! I never played Doom 2016, but a friend family shared Eternal with me and I loved it. He never got the DLC though so I never experienced them.
Oh yeah 2016 is a great experience too. It's the result of years of trying to go with all the industry trends of the time, then just throwing it all out the window to do whatever the fuck they want.
Shitty Marvel story that is way more lame than the biblikino from the previous game. DLC doubled down on the capeshit inspo and ended on an incredibly shitty plot twist that invalidates the series.
I hate that I understand every word of this comment but yeah, I just pretend it's not canon. We're not gonna get another doom game for a hot minute so I doubt they'll keep up that plotline
@@Toastoffire100 I was just venting the frustration that we could have gotten payoff on the identity the series has had for the past thirty years and go off on a high note, but instead of just science-fantasy stuff that has very little to do with any of the themes people associate with the property. My persona opinion is that the emotional aspect of a work is particularly important. So when it's something that has a certain legacy, it's important to tap into it while exploring new or underexplored facets of it instead of throwing it out with the bathwater to go and do writer's baby stuff with an established IP. Could just be me, but this is what we're doing with Fallout: Miami and how I think legacy franchises should be handled.
@@k.constantine I feel like some of that iffy writing was just from not putting enough resources into writers, and good gameplay at the cost of a crappy story is a tradeoff I'd make any day of the week lol.

Small note about 2:09: I've since realized that the shadowplay audio issue isn't unique to this game, but the stuttering is. Edit: The audio issues are due to Shadowplay's variable framerate, and the stuttering /may/ have to do with disk speed, but I've never seen footage stutter this much before.
although I disagree with a lot of your criticisms like I found a use for every single weapon and mod (including the unmaykr I actually prefer it over the bfg) and I love the spirits you go into great detail of why you dislike them and and don't sound like your whining or insulting people for there opinions like some reviews I've seen so overall this is a great review and I can forgive you for being a sticky bomb heretic
Thanks, I'm glad I presented my side well enough that I came across as respectable, even if you disagreed with me (especially on the point of spirits, since I was pretty mad about those lol). Out of curiosity, what exactly is a sticky bomb heretic?
@Toastoffire oh it is just a term I came up with when the whole full auto vs sticky bomb debate was around as I am a full auto enthusiast (though I still like sticky bombs) and as shown in your vid you didn’t seem to like it
Hey slyme, since youtube so rudely removed my last comment I have no choice but to make a new one that's even kinder, more insightful, and thought provoking. So, this was a really good video bro! Perhaps the best review of Doom Eternal I have ever seen. The only thing I can say about the game is that I really do like the more metally soundtrack as while the synths are cool i feel 2016's soundtrack could get kinda dubsteppy which I didn't care for much. Hardly a new complaint I'm sure. Other than that, it bites super hard that your channel got deleted, Ion even know else to say about that! I Hate youtube man!! (TH-cam please do not erase my online presence because of that statement please please) Also, 26:01 I could say some sort of curse word and be mean but I am the bigger man now, a wiser, older TheMovieGuy, and I will simply say that I am coming for you. Real good stuff Toast, my best TH-cam friend, keep it up! Cheers bro
Ah I see why your initial comment got sent to the shadow realm. Your quest to keep me from burping is noble, but ultimately it is in vain. I was literally doing final presentations last week and I realized I burped on the mic like 2 or 3 times. True egoists such as myself cannot be rationalized with. I think most people didn't like the electronic angle of 2016, but they were really trying to avoid being a meme by using rock and roll simply because people expect it from a doom game. That led them to create something crazy and different, whereas this time around they used more guitars because people expect guitars from doom. Not bad by any definition of the word, just a little silly that they threw that idea away.
@@Toastoffire100 dawg if my student subjected my ears to his burps twice, perhaps even three times, I'd immediately fail him I do not care what repercussions that would bring. But lol, the 2016 music did have a fresh angle and I appreciate it, I don't wanna say going more guitar was a better approach cause it is just different. While I prefer it to 2016's soundtrack I feel if they stuck with it they could've refined it to a point where everyone would think its equally as good as whatever else they could've done.
I scrapped it because it was gonna be how I wasn't enjoying myself in spite of the quality on display. It's a me problem. Ive never been able to get into boomer shooters, I get through like the first chapter then get bored/frustrated with the level design and turn the game off lol I do quite like the idea for that video, but I can't do it rn. It's a bit too self indulgent for how small the channel is at the moment.
@@Toastoffire100 EYE Divine Cybermancy. It's in the clip you put in the video :P No worries. EYE is a trip, and it was a shitty reference. Just felt I should comment to try to boost engagement or whatever crap the algorithm likes after I watched the video.
@@Toastoffire100 Nah, I getcha. Like I said, EYE is a trip, and the voice lines are far more distinctive than the (generally amusingly confusing) translation.
It's a pretty infamous porn video lol. Iirc the backstory was that she was a rich girl who did porn for a bit to get back at her dad, so her first video was abuse porn where she was concerning enthusiastic about the whole thing.
Oh yeah the cycles of guilt lmao I remember having to reinstall the game to grab that footage, and being surprised that it didn't exist anywhere on the internet. Then I went to install it for the CS video and realized I still had it
This feels like a repeat of Wendigoon, where I stumble onto someone with criminally low views for their script and production quality and then (hopefully) watch them blow up. Great work, man.

Thanks :)
I'm here for it. The algorithm actually recommended this channel to me so maybe it's actually noticed his excellent work.

Hey, if you're still having trouble with the Spirits, use the Rocket Launcher Lock-On Mode. Should only take about three 3 uses.
Lock-On Burst deletes possessed Hell Knights in seconds. The wacky thing about the spirits is that they have a bunch of weird individual resistances to different weapons and even weapon mods instead of simple damage resistance, and the only way to know that is to code dive (or watch decino's excellent video).

I didn't mind the spirits too much. But it would be nice if the beam allowed you to move around and you'd just have to focus on dodging for a bit
Great video! I never played Doom 2016, but a friend family shared Eternal with me and I loved it. He never got the DLC though so I never experienced them.
