Yeah, the Holt is tough. It took me 7 hours my first time on nightmare, most of which was on the boss. Use precision bolt for the blood maykrs, if you aren't already. Raw ballista shots can be blocked by one of their projectiles.

The Holt is KICKING MY FUCKING ASS. My hands are in physical pain. I REFUSE to lower the difficulty. God I hate the Blood Maykrs.

I don't even know WHERE to begin to even question this whole situation. 

My favourite Randall J Pitchford III moment was when he lost a USB stick at Medieval Times that was full of barely legal quirt porn and he tried to play it off as though he was studying it because it reminded him of magic or some bollocks. 

I would try Bulletstorm if it didn't mean my money was going to Randy Pitchford.

Ancient Gods is so much of a better experience than the base campaign. Not having to unlock everything, the encounter density and variety is so much higher. It's pedal to the metal from start to finish. God DAMN I love this DLC. I'm gonna be solely replaying this over the base campaign for sure.

There's a lot of shit, but straight up lying about Aliens: Colonial Marines, assaulting his staff, withholding bonuses, destroying Duke Nukem, just generally being a greaseball,

Doom Eternal: I just learned that minigun shield protects you from fall damage.

That's fair, but if you're booting up Eternal in the first place, what else are you looking for other than that white knuckle intensity? The DLC is perfect for that, just start it up and go, no time wasting whatsoever.

It’s true, but man, some days, i do not have the energy for it, lol

About the same, I’d say. The levels in Ancient Gods are really well done, but they were in the base game as well.
 
i’ve only played the DLC once (but did have to replay the last mission in full to do a secret that glitched out my first time), and the first level looks amazing, and may be my favourite designed level in the game. It takes place on kind of an oil rig thing in the middle of the Atlantic ocean with big waves and rain and stuff like that. I tend to prefer realistic earthly levels in any FPS, and this nailed it while giving you a new environment away from cities.

Its true. There were arenas I cleared fairly easily and exhilarating is the best word to describe the feeling of doing so, but I also love when you spend an hour or two in one fight, trying new paths and strategies, and finally everything clicks

Been playing the Eternal DLC. God when you get on the right flow there is just absolutely nothing that even comes close to the exhilaration this game offers. MY HANDS FUCKING HURT.

I bought Doom Eternal a little while ago, it was only 20 euros for PS4. 
 
While the platforming gets on my nerves from time to time, I do enjoy the action. Controls are great, music's great. I like the weapon variety and the amount of monsters the game throws at you. I never finished the original Doom games because navigating the maze-like levels just became too tedious for me. I like how Eternal is a lot more clear on where you need to go, even if it's not always obvious at first. I'm currently in the mission for the last Hell Priest and I'm surprised how manageable the game is on the standard Hurt me Plenty difficulty; I was getting killed over and over in the beginning, but now I've got the hang of it. This will probably  be the first Doom game I will see through to the end.

I just played the first level in Doom Eternal’s Ancient Gods DLC and holy shit is it good. I won’t have time to play more until the weekend, but I’m excited.

I beat the Doom Eternal DLC last night in Nightmare on PS4 and that was ridiculous in a good way. First of all, it is substantially harder than the base campaign, and that’s factoring in how familiar I am with the base levels. Each arena has a LOT more thrown at you. Hell, the last level took me 7 hours to beat because of how many times I’d die. The levels were expertly designed/made though, as it was a ton of fun, with a few new things added, and a lot of care was put into this. There’s a cool twist at the end too, which really makes me look forward to part 2, whenever that is.
 
because of how hard it is though, I do find it odd they’re selling this standalone. Anyone that’s jumping into this without getting used to the Eternal dance (which the base campaign does well to introduce you to) is going to get worked, to the point where it may not be fun. They would for sure have to start on the lowest difficulty.
 
Personally, I think I would have had more fun if I started on UV for my first playthrough, but at the same time, I’m happy I was able to beat it in Nightmare for my first run, even if I died 100+ times.
 
All in all, it was amazing. Very well made, fun, and challenging in the best way. I’d highly recommend it for anyone that’s beaten the campaign and wants more.
 

Rekkr is a viking themed total conversion mod released recently for classic Doom 1+2 rereleases on PS4/Xbox/Switch. The fact that Bethesda ok'd a total conversion gets me excited for what else we might see crop up. The potential for value out of these classic games is massive for console players.

BTW, in doom eternal, I beat Cultist Base on UN and am excited about it. That’s the hardest level for me, so I feel like a UN run is actually doable.
 
Also, I figured out something somewhat cheap to do in the big arena in Doom Hunter Base which is definitely going to make other big arenas easier... Essentially, utlize the heavy demon waves and their weakpoints to your advantage. Knock off their weakpoints so they become weak and run around refilling all your resources off the fodder and get in good positioning to kill the final heavy to be prepared for the next wave. I actually use this time to master the flaming meathook during the second wave in that arena.

I figured I’d make a thread here since I wont be on SRK anymore... Basically, it’s a thread to discuss Doom and other FPS’s y’all are playing. Have fun!

Eugh. Deep discomfort.

Is there anyone else on this forum that loves DOOM?
