TaurusOxford posted:I thought that was made abundantly clear when Hayden was saying that it would take time to figure out how to get to Sentinel Prime and Slayer immediately came up the plan of just firing the BFG-10k at Mars to get access to a portal there. Which led to possibly my favourite line in the entire game - Hayden: "You can't just blow a hole in a planet!"

Finally at the endgame on HMP...these archviles are kicking my rear end. Is there any decent strategy for them, or should I just always BFG the fuckers?

Crucible their rear end if you got it, BFG if you don't. If you have neither, shoot at them until they die (and blow up their fire barrier so they get staggered and don't summon poo poo).

Always be faltering Archviles. By now you should have several sources of guaranteed falter - Upgraded frag grenade, Rocket Launcher Remote Det upgrade, I think Heat Blast does it? You've got a few options, always be hitting him with that the moment he tries to summon, and then get in his face with as much DPS as you can manage.

AirRaid posted:Which led to possibly my favourite line in the entire game - The only major failing is there's no real moment where Hayden just finally accepts Doom Guy's gonna do what he's gonna do and really his job is just to facilitate it. Really the only other major thing I remember is him telling the Slayer to not feel any guilt over loving up the Mayker homeworld because they brought it on themselves for making a deal with demons and it's like... Hayden... little bit of Irony in that statement mate.

It was the monsters he spawns that were kicking my rear end (especially in the small arenas), did not realize you could stun him out of summoning. I normally never use the crucible so I will save it for his rear end when I can. I never really considered it, but does the ice bomb work on them too? edit ^^ NM, that answers that.

By end game, I'm saving crucibles for Tyrants and Archviles and BFGs for Marauder's and it keeps the encounters in check so far.

Is this where we complain about the marauder? First fight took me a lot of tries on HMP even knowing what you're supposed to do. I can get by pretty ok using a controller for the most part but the wheels kinda fall off when I'm staying relatively stationary to maintain range and have to sweep my aim fast if it jumps around. Anyway not a super fun enemy given my skill and setup. Hopefully I'm learning the timing and don't have to dump down the difficulty next time I meet one in a real fight. In other news the first part of Mars Core (up to landing on Mars) is cool and good and fun. Lots of good dumb doomguy stuff.

I'm still convinced that the moment Hayden was hooked up to the Fortress of Doom he stopped being Samuel Hayden and fully remembered his existence as the Seraphim Samur Maykr.

OK, I've come to accept the Marauder, and while it's still a pain in the rear end to deal with, at least I've learned how to do it consistently; a couple of Ballista shots does the trick in a reasonable amount of time. Still, as far as the "drop everything and kill this guy ASAP" enemies go, Marauders just make the game grind to a screeching halt. Archviles are easier to deal with in comparison, and you don't have to focus 100% on them; Marauders and their dogs are on your rear end relentlessly and their small windows of opportunity for damage mean they need your full attention, or they WILL ruin you.

Ironically, I always save the marauders for last since I found that moving full speed around the arena lets you outpace them just barely enough to keep them from attacking. Also trying to get close and bait them into doing their counterable attack tended to open me up to getting hit by everything else on the map.

I'll fire off some rockets or grenades in their direction but a running Marauder is a disabled Marauder

Yeah they're pretty easy to play keepaway from while you focus on the higher priority threats like Archviles, which always get a kiss from the Crucible

Cowcaster posted:they exist now they're called prowlers Speaking of which. Prowlers should have been differentiated better from imps somehow. Make them hot blue or something. I've died several times because I was desperate for ammo and went to chainsaw what I thought was an imp but instead got stuck in a "not enough fuel" animation because it was actually a prowler. EDIT: OOOOH so the dog only spawns if you shoot him in the shield. That explains it.

Just finished playing against the khan Makyr, game bugged out and I couldn't grapple hook her regardless of distance. Will try again tomorrow. Honestly enjoyed 2016 more at this stage. Eternal has great combat and level design (mostly) but I've been really unlucky with bugs and other frustrations. 2016 was a far smoother experience. Gonna miss the meat hook in future games, too much fun Szymanski fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Apr 5, 2020 |

I would also like to add the lack of agency when your told that you need to somehow get to the center of Mars, and the rest of the level is, "No you cant do that!"
