Doom Eternal by a mile.

Only got a couple of hours into Exodus and found it to be a tedious slog. I might return and give it a go another day but I really don't like what they did in terms of moving away from the tighter levels of the first 2 games.

 

[tommycronin]

Both great games but Doom Eternal was more of the overall package.

 

[SliChillax]

Neither, Doom 2016

 

[rofif]

Metro.
Eternal was worse than 2016

 

[Phrixotrichus]

Metro, by far.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Neither, Doom 2016

That does seem like the more universally praised title.

 

[MDSLKTR]

I'll go with Metro because the world building doesn't get enough credit.

 

[Sygma]

Eternal utterly destroys Exodus because its that much more kinetic, extremely tight to play and it has insane encounter designs. Honestly Exodus was much better than 2033 and Last Light combined, but in itself it absolutely isn't an achievement whatsoever .. Stalker still is better

 

[MrS]

Didn't particularly enjoy either of them but Metro Exodus handled like a complete fucking mess at launch and that's inexcusable to me. DOOM takes this round.

 

[Ellery]

Damn I liked both so much but for very different reasons.

Metro took me into the world and I had a great journey.
Doom was a lot of fun and I played through it 4 times.

What to do

 

[Barnabot]

I played Exodus. It shouldn't have stealh sections. It shouldn't lock the good ending by demanding me to be stealthy.

I'll go with Doom Eternal instead.

First post nails it

I never finished it, what a slog. Too bad too since I really enjoyed the first one.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Doom easily. Metro Exodus is arguably my most disappointing game this generation. I fuckin hate that game with the power of a thousand suns.

 

[Jack Videogames]

I'm playing Exodus rn and liking it, but Doom Eternal is best in class.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Both are great, beat both on on hard/ranger.

I think exodus is way better. They aren't really comparable, but Exodus gets the edge. It's so damn immersive and playing it on PC really leaves it as one of the best looking games ever made. It's stunning on PC at 60+fps.

 

[bender]

Neither. Doom Eternal took everything I hated about Doom 2016 and cranked it to 11, which is too bad since the moment to moment action is still great. Metro is just too clunky for my tastes.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Tough one actually, I enjoyed both of them. But my vote goes to Doom Eternal.

 

[John Mullins]

The controls/gunplay in Doom Eternal could be unparalleled. Extremely responsive and satisfying.

 

[John Mullins]

Why do these polls close so early?

 

[GlockSaint]

Doom eternal by far. I initially hated it and felt that doom 2016 was better but when the game clicks you see just how much better it is than the first one. Metro exodus made me sleep in the first few hours. So this on is easy.

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Metro, by far.

Nice avatar.

Also, Doom 2016.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Probably the first poll where the two games are close enough to reasonably compare.

Still waiting for a Skyrim vs. Tetris poll.

 

[TintoConCasera]

They keep telling me that I was in Hell, but that game sure felt like being in heaven. <3

So yeah, voted for Doom Eternal, my GOTY for sure (until SMT V at least)

 

[Astral Dog]

DOOM(2016) is my favorite fps.

unless i count Metroid Prime or RE7 but im not sure they are the same genre

 

[Nikana]

If you say Metro just do us all a favor and ask for a ban.

 

[Entroyp]

This one is easy, Eternal all the way.

 

[GloveSlap]

I liked Doom Eternal better, but I didn't like Eternal either. I love Doom 2016 and the sequel was so disappointing.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Exodus. Doom/Unreal just didnt do it for me. It's just not Doom.

 

[MrMephistoX]

The biggest knock against Eternal from what I’ve heard is that it’s not as fresh as Doom 2016: but I never played 2016 so I had a blast. Metro has always just never interested me for some reason.

 

[Arkam]

Neither one set my world on fire. But Doom Eternal did disappoint me after Doom 2016. So Metro gets it for living up to my (slightly lower) expectations. If I hadn’t played Doom 2016 I probably would have voted Eternal.

Do we really need a thread for each one of these match ups?

Some of these matchups make no sense whatsoever so the conclusions won't matter.

Maybe there needs to be a separate section for all of this thing, this is really gumming up the main page and taking valuable space from all the rumour threads posted as news about Next Gen consoles(fuck me right?).

There has to be a better way.
