What difficulty setting were you usingI did not even finish Doom 2016 as I got bored to death with it...
It had nothing to do with the difficulty. It was just not my type of game and did nothing for me.What difficulty setting were you using
No actual game play footage? Absolutely nothing to get excited about.
I've had this on pre-order since August 2018... gimme!
Worried it's going to be sold out?

Not everyone's cup of tea, but DOOM 2016 made me fall in love with FPS again.
It was too fast and boring. I played it for about 30 minutes on a console. Trailer looks cool, but I'd pass if it's anything like the last one.I did not play the 2016 one because it didn't seem to have enough horror theme for Doom. But this trailer looks more like the original Doom theme. Definitely interested in finding out more.

I played all the way to the end and the brain spider dude kept kicking my ass so I gave up lol. But I did like the game.
I agree, I enjoyed the game thoroughly. Graphics were really good for being one of the first vulkan titles out.
I guess we needed at least one person to be a smart-ass. I never played the original but it looked like Doom 2016 would be kind of fun especially since I usually enjoy most shooters. I sort of enjoyed it at the very beginning but for some reason it just did not keep me entertained. I'm sure every person here has played a game that they thought they would enjoy but didn't.It's not like the original Doom was released 26 years ago and you could've known what you're getting into.
I think if you'd have kept the faith and played it a bit longer, eventually it would have clicked.I guess we needed at least one person to be a smart-ass.

Actually I had forgotten that I finally did finish it except for the final boss. I totally get that most people enjoyed it but it just never did anything for me.I think if you'd have kept the faith and played it a bit longer, eventually it would have clicked.
There is a pacing to it where you have to
be continually moving (like a shark - keep moving or die) and it's that pacing that really makes it for a lot of people.
No one's going to think less of you for not going back and finishing it. But - and a big BUT - they won't necessarily put you top of list for the next DOOM party, and you may miss out (Oreos and Hawaiian Punch for example).
I had to tell another person this about the game and that's what made the game click for them. Afterward they found it immensely fun. We've had too many years of slow gameplay due to Call of Duty-like shooters that a game like DOOM 2016 is a foreign concept to people.I think if you'd have kept the faith and played it a bit longer, eventually it would have clicked.

Stick and move, baby, stick and move...That's spot on for my experience.
I was in the camp of shrugging apathy at first. I felt too hard, and weird, I was thinking it was a miss. I was informed by a youngling at work I was Doing It Wrong. In hindsight, his advice made perfect sense - "play it like it was the original Doom. Hit them in the gut with the shotty, run, strafe, run, all the while unloading in guts. Do not at any time pause. You'll die".
As you say, we've been trained to think our little health bar is like a Bonzai tree, and we must slink around and carefully manage it. Once I "got it", I absolutely loved the game. It rewards, as the original implied, "ultra-violence".
Of course, that still may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me at least I really did need to embrace the design logic before I had fun.
run, strafe, run
"Move, shoot, reload" as we say in the free states
That's the thing about 2016 that hooked me and has me just as excited for Eternal. The boundless aggression necessary to play this game is cathartic to put into practice.That's spot on for my experience.

Plus, I think the game speaks to some primal, adolescent part of me - the young, righteous man that longs with all his being for evil to be a problem that can be solved with a double-barreled shotgun.
this foundation is why I suspect violent games are far more a safe outlet for a very natural part of us than they are some fertilizer for seeds of actual human evil
I should maybe play Doom 2016 then. I bought it about 2 years ago
