I prefer 2016. I keep coming back to Eternal (I think I'm right near the end) and I just progress a bit then bounce off it again.
Not in a world where Prodeus exists.
I know I have and OP is correct. DOOM Eternal is on an entirely different plane of existence to any other SP FPS on the market. Nothing released* currently has come close. A few boomtoots look like they make make a scratch (Selaco, Prodeus), but I need to get the finished product in my hands first.Lol. I see you haven't played a lot of SP shooters.

Doom Eternal is a fun but also very arcadey and completely forgettable shooter with an extremely uninteresting story. The game doesn't take itself serious at all and relies to much on ammo/health/armor management instead of shooting fun. It has these dumb ass super mario platform segments that make no sense at all. Even Call of Duty has better SP campaigns.
Better fps games out of the top of my head and it's not even close:
Metro Redux (both)
Half Life 1 + 2
OG DOOM (and even 2016)
Quake II
Titanfall II
Bioshock 1 + Infinite
GoldenEye
Far Cry 1 + 3
Halo Combat Evolved
CoD 4 MW
I mean look at this dumb shit lmfao.

It's much more than 2-3 mins of the entire gameI still find it hilarious people point out the “Platforming segments” that take literally less than 2-3 minutes across the entire campaign of 10-14 hours as indicative of an issue. Easily shows how little of the game they played XD

If you spend more than 1% of the time managing ammo/health/armor, you are playing it badly.relies to much on ammo/health/armor management instead of shooting fun.

I don't necessarily disagree but what would you compare it to then?Having played all of those and FPS being my fav genre, I'm not sure how you can compare most of these two Doom Eternal and say they are better, most of these are nothing alike. It's like comparing I dunno, Gran Turismo to Dirt Rally. They're both racing games with cars but are nothing alike.
Well FPS games are not all designed the same, Eternal is an Arena Shooter which is a sub genre of an FPS. So you can compare games like Quake, OG Doom, Halo etc. As they are Arena shooters by design. A lot of these on the list are really just story driven action shooter games so I feel they don't belong. As an Arena shooter, Eternal is probably the perfect example of how well the Arena sub genre has evolved. By design it's everything you would want an Arena shooter to be.I don't necessarily disagree but what would you compare it to then?
Surely we can argue the virtue of the level design, art direction, enemy and weapon variety etc? It's all subjective anyway but how do you think this discussion should go if we can't compare Eternal to other notable FPS games?
Outside of multiplayer-centric games and maybe Prodeus, Amid Evil, and Dusk, you're not leaving anything particularly recent to compare it to. Halo Infinite I guess, and Eternal is a thousand times more enjoyable than that. Shadow Warrior 3 was a cheap clone that also doesn't stack up.Well FPS games are not all designed the same, Eternal is an Arena Shooter which is a sub genre of an FPS.

Metro Exodus, Horizon Forbidden West, Demon Souls, Resident Evil Village, to name a fewWhat console games are ducking with this game graphically?
it looks great.
Even 2016 doom looks better.What console games are ducking with this game graphically?

Yes, it is fun but the graphics don't suck. Infact it's so goddamn good optimized, loading times are short and everything.So I'm replaying Doom Eternal for the 4th time and truthfully I don't think there is a single shooter out there which has got gameplay as good as this. The story sucks, the graphics suck, but the variety of levels and the combat arenas are so goddamn fun. Once you master the gameplay loop you genuinely feel like an unstoppable badass. I don't like the limited chainsaw recharge but don't mind glory kills, using flame belch for armor etc. DE gives you all the tools to dominate the demons.
Doom 2016 feels boring to play in comparison. In fact, every other shooter feels boring compared to Doom Eternal.
Fair. The presentation/interface/art direction is worse versus 2016.Yes, it is fun but the graphics don't suck. Infact it's so goddamn good optimized, loading times are short and everything.
