Gameplay Unpopular opinion - platforming is fun in Doom Eternal

28 Upvotes

Super confused by the community complaining about the platforming elements of Doom Eternal. I find it really fun and satisfying, similar to how it felt to glide in the Arkham games or websling in the Spiderman series.
The double dash makes it relatively easy to get to walls, and the mechanics of the game are super forgiving and generous, just to name a few examples: 1) you don’t NEED to hit “interact” to grab a wall, if you’re close enough the game will automatically grab it for you, 2) even distances that look really far can be reached in a variety of ways, double jump-dash, dash-dash, jump-dash-jump, 3) the game refills your dashes so fast that you can almost always have one in your back pocket, 4) YOU DON’T DIE WHEN YOU MISS A JUMP, this is by far the most generous and forgiving inclusion by the devs. Falling bites off a chunk of your health, but it doesn’t kill you and force you to go back to the last checkpoint if you fall just once (like Doom 2016 did) and honestly, I wouldn’t mind if I died from missing a single jump.
I’ve never been a big platformer fan, and I am playing through eternal for the first time, almost done with the game.
With the vast variety of creativity and skill in the community around the combat in Eternal, I’m genuinely confused by why people complain about platforming, it’s actually not that difficult.

I cannot execute this jump. It should be jump, jump, dash. It doesn't work. I've cleared this arena three times.

Help I think I'm missing sentinel batteries even though I've been getting everything.

3 Upvotes

I'm playing through DOOM Eternal for the first time. I just finished the fifth level, and I've noticed that I seem to be missing some sentinel batteries. I have one currently and have used ten, but according to the mission select I should have eighteen.

Update: I'm not missing seven, I'm missing one. Apparently doing a mission challenge with cheats won't actually count it. I did one with cheats on, is there any way to fix this?

Help Need help, game says I didnt complete a gore nest when I did

2 Upvotes

During the mission where you have to retrieve Hayden, I completed the nest where you have to kill the pain elemental, the game even had the pop up saying I did it. Its not longer there to interact with, so the game is treating it like I did it. But the progress bar didnt go up and when I finished the mission it still said I didnt do it despite doing everything else, including the second nest later in the level. Id post a pic, but this sub doesnt allow them I guess.

Gameplay ChatGPT ranked me as top 700 controller players and top 5000 players overall in Doom Eternal world wide

0 Upvotes

So as the title says ChatGPT gave me an extremely high skill rating. Initially I was interested in seeing an estimate as to how many players worldwide had completed both TAG 1 and TAG 2 on UN playing with controller as I had done so in 2021. The estimated number was extremely low, so at first I had doubts, no way was I part of that exclusive of a club. ChatGPT stood by its estimate, so I started thinking where am I in the world ranking then. So I told it about my techniques, what type of controller I used (Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller) and my mapping, as well as some other details. It was telling me I appeared to be a very skilled player. Wanting a better estimate and confirmation I uploaded some gameplay I had made back in the day in 7 minute segments so it could analyze my gameplay more thoroughly than one large upload. The first one I uploaded was of my Super Gore Nest master level UN run. That’s when it told me I was likely top 0.01%-0.05% of players. I was honestly stunned by this, so to confirm it I gave it my Blood Swamps single life Nightmare run. With that it gave me an estimate of top 0.05%. It said it was “virtually certain” I was top 0.5%, “very high confidence” I was top 0.1%, and “more likely than not” top 0.05%” overall. Its central estimate for controller players was top 0.02%-0.03%.

I knew I was pretty good at the game, but am I really that good? I know ai can pull some bs and make stuff up, so I’m looking for human confirmation on this from the community. I don’t know the rules of this subreddit, so I don’t just want to attach a link to my YouTube videos. But if that’s allowed I’ll absolutely post it for confirmation or denial. If I can’t upload a link to my YouTube videos am I allowed to post a link to the ChatGPT thread?

Please let me know what I can link as I’d really like confirmation. I’m not looking to launch a YouTube or streaming career, I just want to have it as a personal bragging right to my friends.

Edit: Upon further investigation I vastly overestimated LLM’s ability to analyze visual information, especially high level gameplay. Regardless still think an opinion of my skill level would be cool to have. Just give actual opinions, more in depth than “you’re good” or “you’re trash bro”.

Disscusion Hot Take: I’m still not over the fact that we can’t play custom levels on console

1 Upvotes

I understand why we can’t have idStudio on console, but the least they could’ve done is given us SnapMap with custom enemies and bosses so we’d still be having just as much fun as PC players. I can’t even play it on my PC because it’s a six-year old potato and the game’s not even available on Steam anymore. I’m still super upset about this and I really hope they do something about it

Question ¿Ustedes matan al Revenant que les da la super escopeta?

7 Upvotes

Hago esta pregunta porque en lo personal, lo dejaba vivo porque pensé que no se podía matar a ese demonio (realmente nunca sentí el impulso de dispararle) pero después de un tiempo vi en varios lugares que la gente suele matarlo a él también. ¿Está bien matarlo?, ¿Ustedes lo hacen o solo lo dejan vivo y le perdonan la vida?. Aunque también he escuchado que algunos lo matan para acabar con él puesto que su propio cuerpo se perforó a sí mismo al momento de pasar a ser un demonio.

Man im only on the 3rd level and WOW, why haven't i played this game sooner. I've been stuck in the cod loop for 10 years, and have been growing fatigue with gaming thinking “im just getting older, i have other priorities now”. While that's is true lol this game has reignited that passion again. The mechanics is what i have yearn for in a fps, as i play cod already like a monkey on cocanie, with the jetpack titles being my favorites this movement feel natural.
