The first game is all kinds of jank but doesn't really detract from it's old school charm and more than decently written characters.

Speaking of Doom Eternal, seen any of Under the Mayo's video's? He's a big time Doom Eternal booster, and always thought he seemed like he knew what he was talking about. Suddenly, am seeing multiple "Why Under the Mayo is worst reviewer".

Ever since he reviewed Ultrakill, in fact, with what I thought was a fair but critical piece.

Clear troll videos to boot. Wonder if this is what a character assassination campaign by fanboys looks like, but it kind of makes me want to buy Doom Eternal now..

Oh wow. Can't help but notice they're hating on him for shite I do.

I thought people liked overly critical complainers. i mean, Angry Video Game Nerd made an entire cottage industry out of it. Nostalgia Critic and Linkara, all they do is complain and nitpick.

They shit on games that most people believe deserve to be shit on, and even if AVGN didn't it's a parody show, people would still enjoy it.

I think EA has one more chance with Battlefield before they shelve it for a few years.
Different peeps are looking after it now and supposedly going to take a long time making it.

The next Battlefield should be this:
- keep 32x32 map sizes (the sweet spot)
- have about 5-10 new maps
- a SP campaign that doesn't completely mimic CoD.
- modern warfare
- all fan favorite maps remade with new tech.
- have old school conquest mode like BF2 and original.
- have a commander mode as a toggle
- have different time periods (modern, cold war era, WW2/WW1)
- all modes from the start.
- a ton of vehicles
- a ton of different armies.

Treat the package like Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros Ultimate.


Agreed with all of those tbh. We need Battlefield to came up to the top again tho

Don't think it's bad tbh, i just think it got the very much mediocre due to the Doomguy A.K.A. Doom Slayer got overpowered in that game

Loop Hero.

Still working out how everything works. Like if placement even matters, just placing rocks and mountains grouped up in a random corner of the map,

Angry Video Game Nerd doesn't really review the games he plays. He is playing a character and outlining the ridiculousness of the gameplay mechanics. His review of Top Gun NES game is totally what I felt when I was a kid playing it....it's utter garbage. He rarely reviews quality games. He is basically 1980s kids childhoods when we screamed at the TV when something cheap occurred (which was often).

Nostalgia Critic is a **** face. He reviews media so your example is good. His review of Pink Floyd's The Wall is totally shit show and shows how little he knows about anything.

Honestly, most Youtubers can **** off. Most videos are just people regurgitating a wikipedia page and calling it a documentary. Even worst is happening when they complain about people being woke (oh no...a black dwarf)...because it just generally shows how ****ing sad they are and most likely racist.

Nah, Doom Eternal is the best FPS I've played.

Wait, are you serious? Cool then tho

Yeah, maybe not the best because tons of FPS do different things but I think Doom Eternal is utterly fantastic.

They nailed the combat, music, environments and brought in atmosphere, interesting story and traversal areas.

After ID Software updated the graphics to allow ray tracing, I replayed it with the DLC and still had a blast (that's about a year after I originally played it).

Soul Calibur VI is great. I'm glad to see it do well after SCV was a bit of a disaster.

Have you played 2016?

Never understood why Doom 2016 was as acclaimed as it was, other than the fact that it's successor to a classic franchise. Not that it wasn't solid, but I found it to be pretty standard fare, nothing particularly memorable.

Kind of true actually. I say Duke Nukem 3d, especially with mods like Alien Armageddon or Duke Forces, is way more fun.

So what makes Eternal good then? What scratch does it itch that Doom 2 modded gigawads (Or games like Halo or Prey or Bulletstorm) won't?

Couldn't tell you, I haven't played it.

Ah.

Well, have yiou played Duke 3d? Because Duke Forces is Awesome.

Basically mods up the entire campaign with Dark Forces and Star Wars content, plus has two original campaigns. And works with random user maps.
