Ironic, because starting from at least the first game in this new series, it was lousy for being a pale imitation of the original.
In the original? Boss fights were monstrous, and you had to bring your best weapons to bear; boss fights in this new trash? I still remember the cyberdemon fight: Jump, don't jump, jump, then shoot, then jump, don't jump, jump. What, am I playing flappy bird? Boss fights in the series is apparently all about the ridiculous mini-game mindset; I've seen one or two more and they all reek of this mini-game style.
Also in the original the devs EXPLICITLY designed the monsters to all try and hit you at the same time; if they can see you, they'll try to kill you; the devs EXPLICITLY didn't want monsters to take their turn like they'd seen in action movies all the time; the new game? Monsters literally have tickets for when they're allowed to try to hit you, and some monsters have priority when they're allowed to try again; the game is designed so that monsters HAVE to take turns to try and attack you.
If these anti-woke losers were genuine in their criticism of modern game design, they'd be calling this stuff out, instead they're fed a list of stuff they're expected to hate and then go on to regurgitate the agreed upon list. Literally no thoughts of their own.
I dunno, my taste almost certainly sucks, but I thought doom 2016 was insanely fun.
Agreed. 2016 was great as far as I'm concerned, but I pretty much hated both follow ups and lost interest about half way through each of them.
I personally could not get into it but I'd understand if others liked it; it's more that I consider chuds complaining about accessibility features in games to be fake gamers with fake outrage; if they were honestly complaining about the new doom, there are matters they could complain about, but their complaints are NOT genuine, they're simply being told what to be upset about
Drawing inspiration from Icon of Sin and Mother Demon no doubt.
This goes away for the most part when you play on Nightmare. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzhqjXAaShc
