Man, I just watched 33 minutes of DOOM Eternal gameplay and it is fucking TERRIBLE. Jesus, it opens with some late-thirties boomer that looks like he was ripped STRAIGHT outta Gears Of War who's speaking all cryptically in some unskippable cutscene. The whole hub world looks like shit.
Cue the descent into 'hell,' which is just Bowser's Castle from from fucking Super Mario Bros-- not even joking, the floor is lava, there's ZERO shooting, just a bunch of shitty platforming, jumping from floating hexagonal platform to hexagonal platform and dodging spinning flails.
There are horizontal gymnast bars everywhere that you're expected to spin around and jump off of like a fucking ballerina, and there's sections where you have to climb walls like fucking Catwoman-- complete with a cute little 'claw-hand' animation, you almost expect to hear Doomguy start hissing 'cause he's a BAD KITTY (˵Φ ω Φ˵)
When you finally start killing demons? They explode into a bunch of pink, purple and green candy pieces. Is it a demonic beast or a fucking PEZ dispenser? Following every battle, LOOK AROUND, you'll notice that there's ZERO blood, ZERO gore, ZERO bodies, ZERO bullet shells, it's like the carnage never even happened.
The UI is gay as fuck, it's drenched in neon, the inspo for this shit struck the programmer when he was at a fucking Pride Parade for sure. There's some way overly complicated upgrade system, it looks like a fucking RPG. I want to shoot demons, not meticulously plan my fucking build order. The whole art direction is so different from DOOM 2016, it's not even reasonable sci-fi anymore, it seriously looks like a fucking Nintendo game.
The glory kills? I watched the player do the EXACT SAME glory kill against the first... idk, NINE Mancubi encountered. At one point the player 'flipped' an Arachnotron over, like a fucking turtle, my god, what a devastating attack!
The entire thing looks gay as fuck. You're not seriously buying this shit are you?
