They did, it was Arx Fatalis.

Surprised to see an Arx Fatalis namedrop in the Doom thread, but yes it's a really good game. Even though the game is non linear, I wouldn't call it open world. Make sure you play it through the open source port Arx Libertatis, it fixes all issues with resolutions and widescreen and the like.

My secret hope is that beth will have Arkane do another Arx game and just shower them in money and level designers to make it happen.

It's nice to dream.

Anyone have some tips for arcade mode? I'm playing on UV and can't get above bronze on the first level (I'm not good at this game). Also what runes are good to pick? I know Armored Offensive is pretty good since the armor pickups will increase your multiplier.

Doomguy can finally be like another certain early FPS character and go "Ungh! Ungh! Where is it?" when humping for secrets.

They increased movement and removed hitscan weapons.

I'm looking forward to DOOM 6 having a jetpack, zero friction boots, and spinfusors.

:ssh:DOOM 6: Tribes would unironically own:ssh:

Hurry up with that gore nest.

Speedrunning has always seemed intensely lame to me. It's a bunch of guys using bugs and scripts to get past the game faster? ok? that's... impressive? (it's not, it's just weird)

Finding the glitches and bugs and exploiting them is interesting to know about, but it isn't fun to watch. In my case, at least. Watching a game get speedrunned while 90% of the time they're just out of bounds and looking at the void isn't nearly as cool as a glitchless speedrun. Again, I know this is an opinion, and you aren't wrong if you disagree. Just rip and tear.

I really like Doom Eternal, my only significant complaint is horde mode. I really wanted some kind of gameplay to make the game, uh, eternal, and give it replay value. Horde mode sort of does that, but the levels are static and not randomly chosen from a larger pool. The demons are the same each time too I think, just the bounties can vary. If horde mode was considerably different each time, I would have been very happy.

What pissed me off about the final DLC level is that you can't pick up and use that energy rifle that the hell guards shoot you with. give me another gun!!!!
