DOOM 2016: How to Reboot DOOM 

*"They are rage, brutal, without mercy. But you will be worse. Rip and Tear, until it is done." -- King Novik of the Night Sentinels (probably)*

13:11 Hell Knight: "IMMA RIP YOUR GUTS APART, HOOMAN." Doomguy: "wait a sec, I gotta get this cool gun first"

I actually love the gore nests all throughout. They let you know a battle is coming but let you trigger it manually, so you can scoure the area for supplies and get a good look at the environment you'll fight in, so you can use it to your advantage. An example of this is the first gore net in the Advanced Research Complex, which has a ton of resources scattered about and introduces portals.

The best thing against the shield guys in early game was the stun bomb of the plasma rifle.

I love how you put Revolution is My Name in the intro. 🤘

I feel like a better reboot isn't possible, I think they did some serious justice to the series, it's not perfect, but no game is.

This deserves well over 1K views ... Really well thought out ...

Doesn't hold a candle to it's successor? I disagree. Doom 2016 is good in its own right. I like Eternal's gameplay more, but I prefer 2016's multiplayer to Battlemode. It's a shame 2016 multiplayer seems to be dead. I'd like snap-map coop to be a thing in modern Doom's future.

this channel is so underrated wtf?

Just discovered your stuff, likely after watching Civvie and yeah....you make good shit dude.

Ur channel deserves more attention, this is so underrated

Personally, I prefer the approach to the story which while is very thin works in comparison to eternal. The story in eternal feels like the only downgrade to me. Eternal is nearly perfect but I hope they can really bring out a better story in a third game.

Nice revolution is my name instrumental at the start!

I love that both Doom 2016 and Eternal are both great in their own right and stand on their own from each other. At the end of the day, I have to say that Doom 2016 is my favorite of the two but I still play Eternal more often. I appreciate your video on the matter. :)

If you're looking for a new series to crack into now that you've finished the doom retrospective ark, I humbly suggest heretic and hexen, mostly because that series was MY version of doom growing up, but also because it is less covered on RU-vid overall!

I actually appreciate that Doom Eternal doesn't have the "body part keys" or the "snatch key off dead person" animations. It gives you a reason to revisit Doom 2016 and at least the "body part keys" are used so sparingly that they become far more memorable as a result. Had Doom Eternal used "body part keys", it'd just have felt "old" or "been there, done that". The key snatching animations already started feeling a little "old" later in Doom 2016, so it would have been boring to see them rehashed in Eternal. Besides, Doom Eternal does have one really good nod to them in the Phobos scene where the Doom Slayer drags a still-living guy along by snagging the key card around his neck. Keep it unique, keep it memorable.

Revolution is my Name was an inspired intro song choice

I feel like this review should have been done without mentioning Eternal

Nice video, glad this got recommended :D

These reboots are amazing games and all, but as a classic fan i just... Really don't like how they play and how overly complicated they made the "canon doom lore" and i can't get into them because of it. I guess that trend started with doom 3 but it just doesn't feel like the dead simple shooter franchise i grew up with, but like a completely different serie of games, you know? It's just too much. Like, people nowdays play it for the gore fast paced arena shooter gameplay with heavy industrial metal in the background, glory kills and shit, and i'm just like... I miss the puzzle, maze like level designs with dozens of cartoonish monsters infighting each other and near bottomless ammo pools to blast away with my favorite guns. :( But hey, guess they had to adapt to modern gamers. And with sourceports, classic doom is not going anywhere either

Just use the chainsaw on the shield guys, there is never more than 1 or 2 around at a time

I don't mind mentioning Doom Eternal once in a while, but you seriously took that way too far. If you wanted to review Doom Eternal, do it and get it out of your system! I swear, it's like you couldn't compliment Doom 4 without plastering it with "But Eternal did it better." That got annoying.

DOOM 2016 is SOOOO MUCH more "grounded" than Eternal, and that's EXACTLY why I think 2016 is the FAR superior game. To me, Eternal is just too "arcade-like"

Fucking love that pantera riff in te begining

Honorable mentions: The multilayer, whilst slightly average, was a welcome addition and snap map was a brilliant feature which deserved an update for Eternal but unfortunately was left by the wayside 😢

This video really should've just been titled "I think this game is great, but I like DOOM: Eternal better". It's fine you like DOOM: Eternal better (even though I personally prefer 2016 overall) but in a video ABOUT 2016, maybe don't just constantly compare it to it's sequel and say how you like the sequel better. An occasional nod to Eternal or comparison is fine but every single critique whether good or bad you make about 2016 just always goes back to you ending up with saying you prefer Eternal or Eternal does it better without letting the game just stand on it's own merits.

Revolution is my name..... you started the video with Revolution is my name.... thats awesome!

>so I played on consoles RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Funny enough, Civvie 11 pointed out how Duke Nukem forever had glory kills and they were horribly implimented. I for one, would love to see more Games use the glory kill Mechanic. It would be really something in say, a Turok Reboot where the Fireseed heir takes health out of his enemies hides.

I’m confused on how ID could possibly even follow up in how good DOOM 2016 and Eternal were

I hope the next Doom game focuses mostly on Hell instead of aliens.

The only thing I didn't like about this game were the boss battles. I had to cheat just to get through two of them.

I cannot believe people use only one gun in DOOM 2016. You are doing it wrong. I was usually switching guns after 2-3 kills max. Heavy AR, plasma and shotgun for fodder, even revenants or lone bigger demons at times. SShotgun, gauss and rockets for big guys, chaingun too. I would also use the big guns for groups of fodder enemies. The gun play and the weapons were perfect, why do people limit themeselves like that ? Holy shit, they are doing it wrong. And in Eternal nobody is really stopping you to use only the Sshotgun either, simply because as long as you chainsaw you have infinite ammo, you just need to brake away, stun a fodder, flame belch too for some armor and saw away. So Eternal is not forcing you to cycle weapons, you can still spam what you want, but you are doing it wrong if you are doing this. Even more so when ammo is limited, untill you saw again, that is. So both games are flexible enough to me, it is the poor players that are doing it wrong.

Its not a reboot

this game is cringe. glowing enemies, finishing movies, double jumping......multiplayer loadouts. should retitle this video how to shove dumb modern game things in to a classic franchise.

Doom 2016 has a greater impact than but isn’t as good as doom eternal Then again, doom eternal is just 2016 on steroids

This crap game ain't Doom. This is Quake 3 on a hell campaign. The last Doom game was Doom 3.

classic doom was meant to be realistic for the time

dunno. good games, but.. these new doom games only share the name. original doom 1 and 2, there is no hint of any doomslayer, just a doom guy with a shotgun and a chainsaw kicking ass. these new games have far too much story and other boring stuff.

Surprised by your praise to super-shotgun. IMO close to garbage gun. Was very disappointed by it. Low fire rate, you need to unlock single shot (!) and damage high enough to messed up glory kills (use them all the time), but not enough to make me choose this gun over regular shotgun or assault rifle.
