They've said the BFG would be a pre order bonus since it was announced, don't get why anyone is surprised. Doom eternal is prime for the games as a service model.

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.

You’ve not understood this at all.

Tho to be fair the text he wrote is so loving believable. Because that’s exactly how the BFG operates in Rage. The game totally is not balanced for it and it is a big “win fight” button.

That's how I used the BFG in Doom 2016. If I felt like I wanted to just end a fight and move on to the next area for whatever reason I would pull out the BFG.

You're so exaggerating. You can earn 5 slayer tokens for reading an article about the candy crush easter egg in the doom game and do all those things plus have a token left over that you can use to put flames or racing stripe decal on your doomguy armor.

FINALLY. We've all been waiting for a FPS to bring back the limb-targeting from Chasm: The Rift :woop:

Actually the best limb destruction I ever saw was in the proto-Dark Souls game Shadow Tower: Abyss. I cut off both the arms of a troll then just stood there thinking 'heh now what are you going to do loser, kick me?'. That's exactly what he did. FROMSoftware :allears:

I hope that the team making Doom:Eternal realize from Doom 2016 that they should 100% devote their resources to singleplayer.

I think i played maybe one deathmatch game, and that was it.

We'll probably know soon but they seem to be all about integrating MP components into SP in a soulsborne way. The biggest problem with doom 2016 MP was it was clearly outsourced and not of ID quality. The team who made the MP became Bethesda Austin and recently launched Fallout 76 so lol

This isn't true. Doom MP was developed by Certain Affinity. BGS Austin was previously Battlecry Studios.

Doom Eternal's multiplayer is being developed by From iirc

There are also rumors of a Doom Royale mode being worked on in conjunction with Epic

Imagine a From game, where you play an imp, and the Doomslayer is every boss. And there is no way to win, and "You died" is basically burned into the background layer of the game constantly, like it was constantly played on an old Plasma TV with burn-in.

So well that I always pause right before grabbing the berserk powerup and toggle those on, if they are all upgraded it gets to be pretty ridiculous.

It's kind of annoying that for pure power fantasy you want some perks running, and you want to be able to swap them out at will, but the interface for it sucks. Something like "rich get richer" does nothing if you don't actually meet the requirement so you might as well swap it out then swap it back again when you do, which is really clunky.

Or just not play "optimally" and have fun, but it's still a minor little irritation.

The lite-RPG elements and collectibles (argent caches, praetor tokens, rune challenges) just get in the way of replays and I wouldn't mind if they were removed in Eternal, though at the same time they're an easy way to pad game time so I'm expecting it to be even worse.

They also provide a sense of "progression" without being grindy. I think they are a good balance between your character/equipment getting better as the game goes on as well as provide a reason to explore levels. As for replays, you keep all of your equipment, so I'm not sure what's "getting in the way."
