I like running around in the world and I like how it feels to kill demons. I do NOT like all the fucking platforming. Good god there's so much of it. This is coming from someone that grew up and enjoyed a TON of platformers growing up too. I hear Doom Eternal has even more. Christ alive what a terrible decision. You might say it's "to give you a palette cleanser after all the demon killing" but OG Doom did this so much better because you weren't at risk of DYING INSTANTLY for fucking up a jump lmao
My complaints basically stayed the same but luckily the game did tone down on the platforming later on. People seem to really like how a lot of the audio logs in Hell were all about how Doomguy was such a bad ass but i just found it uninteresting and circle-jerky. Doomguy is characterized very well in the game (looking at the dead body in the elevator when Samuel says this was for the betterment of mankind. his outright hostility towards anything using Hell energy) but those audiologs do him no favors lmao. Like the game wants you to like Doomguy so a lot of the side stuff is about how big Doomguy's cock is and how everyone wants to ride on it. Luckily it's not really in the narrative and it's only in the side stuff... Doom Eternal on the other hand...
I've not actually played Doom Eternal so that's gonna be next. I have seen both Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal be played but it's literally impossible to spoil Doom so I'm not really that regretful in watching them first.
