I’m going to take this very specific opportunity to ask if anyone found the ancient gods DLC much worse than the original?

I think the new demons made the game less enjoyable and kinda took away from the core gameplay of the base game that I loved so thoroughly.

Embarrassingly enough I haven’t actually played the DLCs because I was too addicted to OW. On returning to Doom Eternal tho I’ve found the marauders MUCH easier to deal with this time around :person_shrugging:

I found the DLC obnoxiously and needlessly difficult compared to the main game and I have no idea why they made such a big push for it

and yes the new demons sucked, I didn’t even finish part 2 because I just ended up getting more frustrated than anything else

I wish id Software would get over themselves and add co-op to Doom 2016 and Eternal. Doom 3 on the OG Xbox had co-op but they later removed it in the BFG edition and the newer Dooms don’t have it at all. It hurts replay value.

I always get excited when I special beam cannon the soil of mars.

I think they’re worth the completion, but if I go back to doom eternal, I’m sticking with the original game for the most part.

I don’t mind difficulty, I just like when I feel like I’ve earned my death. Like the master levels that had the original demons were amazing to me. But when I tried my very first Extra life Nightmare run of the DLC, and I breezed through everything only to lose every life within seconds because they thought it was cool to put a specter boosted marauder in the dungeon with literal frames worth of vulnerability inbetween swings.

I never claimed to be very good, I never went above normal difficulty but if I find myself getting consistently frustrated I usually take it as a sign to stop playing

To me the enjoyment from doom is that there are many ways of achieving success, and there’s not a single answer to any solution.

take the shield soldiers, which allow tons of variety in how you handle them

  • Super shotgun grapple disables shield
  • chainsaw goes past it
  • rockets can be detonated around it
  • grenades
  • plasma gun explodes shields

Then you have things like the stone imp

  • the rapid fire shotgun

or the spirit

  • the lock on beam

It’s harder sure, and challenges can be fun, but when it takes away from the variety, it starts to get repetitive and formulaic.
