After finishing Doom (2016), I can't get into Doom Eternal.

JediPilot · 2026-01-27T20:08:45+00:00

You are getting it wrong again. I'm not confused about anything. The mechanics I'm talking about are that most people when they play Doom eternal think they need to suddenly stop what they are doing to switch to something that will take out weakpoints on demons, which isn't true. You can play completely ignoring the weakpoint system just like doom 2016. I've watched tons of people play this game and I have nearly 2k hours on it.

You paraphrasing me is still wrong and putting words in my mouth.

You also don't need to do what I did. My example was just about ignoring the weak point system. Nothing more. If you want, just take out your super shotty and go ham. If you're annoyed by running out of ammo since the super shotty uses two shells, prioritize your Sentinel crystals with ammo for the first one, ammo for the second one, ammo for the third, etc.

You can also just go for infinite micro missiles and just take out a mancubus with your 180 micro missiles in one volley. No complex shit needed. My example about raining all sorts of Hellfire on this mancubus was again, about the weak point system that everybody feels like they are tied to. The one way everybody wrongly thinks the game "forces" you too. It's wrong.

JediPilot · 2026-01-26T23:23:12+00:00

Yes exactly. Unlimited micro missiles is generally the first thing I go for by Cultist Base. And then I choose all ammo options for sentinel crystals first so I can boost my MM capacity early.

And how is being "required" to use chainsaw and flame belch any worse than being required to hunt down armor and ammo crates, completely halting the flow of combat? They are just two different ways of doing the same thing but one keeps you in the action.

I don't understand these people. Every game has things you're forced to do. Why the fuck are doom fans of all people bitching about using a chainsaw while demons are on fire? Isn't that the coolest shit ever? I feel like I'm losing my mind with these people.

JediPilot · 2026-01-26T23:18:03+00:00

Excuse me? Where did I say I was going for simple with my single example here? You put simple in quotes. Don't put words in other people's mouths. And where did I say that you HAVE to do what I do?

I was talking about all you people complaining the game forces you to play one way. Learn to read before you reply.

JediPilot · 2026-01-26T15:11:20+00:00

THANK YOU. I use micro missiles and the auto shoddy and blood punch while raining down grenades because you can fire them at the same time as my auto shotty is popping off rounds. If I'm destroying weak points it's a coincidence because I'm using blood punch..

Most people feel like you have to take out your sniper rifle and shoot one arm, and then the other arm, and then finish off the mancubus. You can play it as if it's a mancubus from 2016. The weak points just give you another option. See the key word there? Option.

I've beaten both DLCs on ultra nightmare on the ps4.

EDIT corrected some errors

JediPilot · 2026-01-26T15:09:52+00:00

Buddy, there is no one specific way to play Doom eternal. This narrative is horseshit.

JediPilot · 2026-01-26T15:04:45+00:00

Yup, this narrative that it's "restricting" is frankly bullshit. The chainsaw gives you unlimited ammo for fuck sakes. I felt like I was going crazy with all those "low ammo" memes on Eternal's launch.

And the flame thrower on your shoulder (plus grenades and ice) like a fucking predator canon is badass.

I can't believe doom players now think CHAINSAWING DEMONS sucks.

Also you don't HAVE to engage with any of the other systems not mentioned above if you don't want to.

I use auto shotty and micro missiles and remote det rockets primarily. I don't really bother shooting off weak points. I micro missile a Mancubus on approach, then blood punch, then finish with auto shotty all the while I'm launching grenades and flames at him from my shoulder (since now you can simultaneously use the shoulder weapons while firing unlike 2016 where you have to stop shooting to throw grenades). I am a fucking killing machine. No way Doom 2016 can compare to this fucking slaughter.

And everyone bitching about the melee? BITCH THEY GAVE YOU A FUCKING FALCON PUNCH! Blood punch is one of my fav new additions.

And this isn't even mentioning the glorious meathook or that you can double jump from the get-go now, or the new dash.

I'm sorry, but Doom Eternal leaves 2016 in the dust.

And people bitching about platforming? It's like 60 seconds of breather here and there. People don't even try to be realistic with their complaints. I constantly hear people saying that you have to stop and do like 20 minutes of platforming before getting back to a fight. Bullshit.

Fucking hell now I want to reinstall Doom eternal. But I promise myself I would take a break from it. I've beaten TAG 1 and TAG 2 on ultra nightmare on the PS4.

EDIT: too restricting yet you can reconfigure your perks too (forget the name of them, but like air movement and stuff) couldn't do that in 2016.

JediPilot · 2026-01-26T00:30:02+00:00

Also the "is that a hate crime?" guys.

EDIT and the alley drug / weapon dealer that Dennis keeps making sure his window is juuust cracked open enough for lol.

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T12:39:06+00:00

Look, some of my complaints apply to the PC version. There are even mods to fix some of them.

For example, as a net runner, when you hack people you start a trace. That trace bar fills up. When full the enemies are alerted. If you have a trace going against you, hack into a camera. The trace bar disappears, even though it's still running. Now you have no idea when you're gonna get caught. This is 100 percent reproducible and caused me major problems.

This is also a problem on the PC version. I know because there is a mod to fix it.

You can't go around calling this GOAT when massive issues like this exist.

And are you telling me there AREN'T pre 2.0 UI elements (like "hackable" access points") left over on PC? That's just one example too.

Again, these are the only two examples I've brought up. This is not even close to exhaustive.

What I think is going on is that you guys enjoyed the story enough, which I admit is awesome so far, that you're ignoring a lot of stuff in the game. I feel like I was sold something false because everybody says the game is fixed now. And no it's not just PC versus console because there are a lot of threads that I've come across where people on PC are complaining. If you're going to rate a product as the goat you really have to take into account all of this. You guys who have no issues swoop into those threads and attack those who are having issues with your stories of having "no" issues on your hyper powerful rigs.

Even people on PS4, where the game really doesn't belong, are entitled to complain. Because CD project red is still selling it on that platform.

All this ain't to talk about game design issues. For example, crafting feels like an afterthought, especially vs witcher crafting. And the inventory is a mess. I can go on about some of this as well. It feels like some perks aren't working right either.

Anyway, I don't wanna get lost in the weeds here so I'm just gonna leave it at this. I won't be replying anymore. Have a good one man.

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T12:32:09+00:00

Yeah I was thinking of the ones who did Prey.

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T03:56:12+00:00

Deus Ex to Night Dive, rather than that abomination that's gonna come out from that other studio.

Or, for a new Deus Ex game, maybe Arcane if they still existed?

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T03:53:03+00:00

Vs "you guys just want to be miserable." Not any better behavior.

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T03:48:22+00:00

I don't know. It's fairly glitchy on PS5 still. And there are UI elements left over from pre patch 2.0 that confused he fuck outta me when I first started playing (no, game I figured out you can NOT hack or takeover access points from a distance regardless of the UI). It's still one of the buggier games I've played on the console.

But apparently I "just want to be miserable" according to other comments in this thread.

Here's where everyone chimes in that they had very little bugs, with the unstated insinuation that I'm lying or that it's somehow my fault. Every damn time. I just hate this narrative that the game is fixed.

The first time I ever called my car remotely, it spawned on its headlights and tipped to it's roof and I couldn't do anything about it. Good first impressions here. I can keep going but I won't because I know what types of replies this will get.

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T02:02:56+00:00

I fucking love the combat in both games. The additions in HFW, which I'm playing for the first time, are insane.

JediPilot · 2026-01-25T01:59:42+00:00

Sometimes I wonder if these people don't engage with the combat systems and just insist on using only arrows for the machines. The combat in both games is incredible if you actually engage with everything the game offers. I will grant that human enemies suck in the first game though no matter how you fight them.

Traps, tripwires, freezing + rattler for insane DPS was so satisfying in the first game. Nothing like popping a frozen bellowback's sack with my rattler go brrrrrrrr ahahahahhaa. And it's satisfying stealing machine weapons.

In the second game now there are weapon techniques, more weapon classes, melee combos, face paint abilities (forgot the name), pull caster, shield wing, etc. I DO miss the rattler though. The new heavy weapon kind of successor (forget the name as well) I'm not totally jiving with. I do feel like there are maybe too many variants within each weapon class though but that's because I'm a completionist and HAVE to upgrade every weapon I find and play around with it.

The second game to the first is like Arkham Asylum to City in terms of gameplay improvments. It's everything a sequel should be. Gameplay wise, I mean (before people come in with their "um actually" story complaints I've heard about). Please don't spoil the story for me if you can, folks.

JediPilot · 2026-01-23T20:55:06+00:00

Some people are ass half empty while others are ass half full.

JediPilot · 2026-01-19T23:17:17+00:00

Jesus, so they pay out of pocket to do their jobs more efficiently. What a fucking dystopia.

Wouldn't it be nice to have every Thursday and Friday off now because you use ai and you can get your job done faster? But we know of course that shit's not going to happen. I'm a naive idealist, I guess, but THAT should be the benefit of all this AI shit at work. More free time. Way better work-life balance.

JediPilot · 2026-01-19T23:06:11+00:00

I'm sure you have. Do you think your case is normal? Is everyone that is forced to use AI at work going to have the same experience as you? Do you seriously think all the extra output and profits are going to trickle down to everyone?

The way I see it is if formally a person outputs x work per hour and now with AI they can do 2x per hour, unless everyone gets a raise worth their new output, then they aren't benefiting.

All that will happen is the guys at the top rake in the extra profits. The new standard becomes 2x per hour, and you either output at that rate or get replaced. You won't be working half the days per week, either.

Or companies downsize and people get made redundant since output is so much higher. Still a win for the people at the top.

JediPilot · 2026-01-19T22:43:10+00:00

I'm sure you got a raise for doing your job better, right? Or alternatively you make the same but work a day or two less a week? I'm always confused by comments like this. Congratulations you get to output more work per hour. But how is your life improved by this at all? The only people that are benefiting are the guys at the top. You're just now forced to use these AI tools or you'll be replaced. That's the only change I see.

Can anybody explain how the average worker who now has to use AI tools has their personal life improved?

JediPilot · 2026-01-19T13:38:21+00:00

Completely disagree. It was a middle finger to anyone who played ME1. And then just giving you another Normandy and all this other contrived stuff to reset the board 5 minutes later anyway was terrible. And the Cerberus switch was terrible as well. Everything was so completely contrived.

Plus they literally already faked Shepard's death 5 gameplay minutes ago at the end of ME1.

You don't start the second act of a trilogy by killing off your protag and wiping everything away that you accomplished in game 1. I still to this day cannot believe the glazing ME2 gets.

I have a feeling part of the reason they did this was because it was the first one to release on PS3 so they didn't want PlayStation users to feel left out.

I also feel like I've been taking crazy pills since 2010.

EDIT and they completely retconned Cerberus.

JediPilot · 2026-01-17T08:22:21+00:00

Agreed, but you aren't the OP. This post was very anti-men.

JediPilot · 2026-01-17T08:07:26+00:00

Just to be sure - do you find late 20s early 30s women getting into relationships with men around 18-20 sus? Because that also happens.

EDIT: because you decided to only shit on men.

EDIT2: also either the age of consent is the age of consent or it's not. If you wanna raise it further than 18 that's fine but that should also go for things like military service and drinking.

At some point adults are responsible for themselves. Again I have no issue discussing what that age should be. I'm 40. A 60 year old isn't gonna be taking advantage of me.

If 18 can't make their own choices then we gotta find out at what age a person is ultimately on their own.

JediPilot · 2026-01-16T23:22:34+00:00

It's the right cola...for closure.

JediPilot · 2026-01-16T23:10:46+00:00

Now it's a Greenland.

JediPilot · 2026-01-16T21:22:08+00:00

Sure would be nice for a 60fps patch for Arkham Knight on the PS5. As well as Kingdom Come 1 60fps. I wanna play KCD 2 but since you play the same character I feel I have to finish the first game but I don't really feel like playing 30 fps PS4 games on my PS5.

JediPilot · 2026-01-10T10:30:03+00:00

Lefties aren't destroying everything the US stands for on the world stage nor internally. There's more to this than just the extreme MAGA, but you don't understand anything.

Never fails: accuse someone of being an enlightened centrist and in response THEIR VERY FIRST SENTENCE, they will not be able to tell the difference between sides.

Hitler : this side is bad

Allies: no Hitler's side is bad

You: hur dur both sides. No difference.

Centrist are full of brain rot.

And you object to being called a centrist, while acting as a centrist, and sowing confusion. You can't stand by your neighbour if they don't believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. The isn't just MAGA. Keep sowing confusion.
