DOOM: The Dark Ages

Лично для меня лучший DOOM из свежих частей. Наконец-то получил DOOM, который давно ждал, с комфортным темпом игры, где тебя сделали ходячим танком, который всех разносит. Парирования щитом идеально вписались в геймплей, одно удовольствие парировать атаки противников. В прошлой части мне не зашёл быстрый темп и слишком яркое и детское оформление, в этой части ничего из этого нет, чему я был очень рад.

Kinda feels like they ruined everything they did with 2016 and eternal. Both of those games are heavily based on agility, darting from demon to demon, hucking grenades, and in general moving fast as hell. This game feels like the exact opposite, slow, plodding, kinda boring. And the glory kills, my god how they massacred the glory kills. No more brutal animation knocking a zombies head down into their chest cavity, no more tearing bits of the spider off and rearranging them, no more decapitating that hell night that just WOULD NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE. Nope, none of that. Just a simple punch, not even a heavy looking punch, more like a quick jab. The parry system SUCKS. Why can't you just dodge out of the way? That's stupid. Every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemy in this game puts this stupid decal over your vision when they hit you, a giant ass decal that covers about a third of your vision and effectively flashbangs you. Melee attacks are now a SPECIAL ABILITY??? Blood punch was weird, but it kinda makes sense. Don't punch for a while, then when you do it is a devestating whack. But seriously? You have three punch charges that you need to refill? STUPID. No more rip and tear, because you don't have enough FIST POINTS TO DO SO. They spent two games and several years setting up a beautiful and satisfying system, then they went and just... forgot about it? Completely abandoned it? And the music, dear god the music sucks. Mick Gordon was the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ goat, then they messed up that relationship so bad they had to get a bunch of people in to make... whatever sonic mush this game has. Too many cooks spoil the broth. I started playing immediately after finishing eternal so maybe it's just a bit to get used to, but ya know what games didn't have much to get used to between them? 2016 and eternal. They had five years to let this cook and they cooked it straight to death.
