Speedrunning DOOM Eternal on the Switch is a 100% Nightmare 

For all of you being like: "This dude is wrong about this port because he got X thing wrong!!!" "Quickswapping works for me, so you're lying about it not working" I bet it does. It doesn't work for me. The shotgun ammo is a nonfactor, as if you watched the stream you would know that I tried to do it, checked settings several times, etc. The only thing that makes sense, is that quickswapping can be broken for 1.0 Nintendo Switches/Joycons which is my case. Regardless, it's fucking stupid that it doesn't work on default hardware when every other game I played has whole functionality. Now shut up. Watch my creator commentary where I go into more detail and for insight on me making this video. :3 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CtEEyrEYgfQ.html

I like how you posted this in 1440p, as if that's gonna do absolutely anything

My first time playing Eternal was on the Switch... fond memories though

I’ve played doom eternal exclusively on switch and I beat everything including dlc in nightmare. With some dedication anything is possible

My favourite part is when the quick switching being excluded big time

I love how speedrun strats take a lot longer than doing it normally

Oh so Doom Eternal crashes EVERYWHERE and it's just not the Switch Okay, so it truly is part of the Bethesda family now

Imagine if you're in the middle of a speedrun and Doomguy just turns into a ghost

The switch should have gyro controls so i don't know why you didn't try using that to line shots.

as someone who played on switch for the whole campaign... i suddenly dont feel bad at the game anymore

The fact that one point during this video he knew that the sound of the plasma rifles a little bit off is just how you know he has more than 2,000 hours on doom

Haven't looked at views/subscriber count until I watched the video. Man you had to see the surprise on my face when I found out you had less then 500 subs. Criminally underrated, keep up the amazing work!

3:38 Raitro now is officialy a game journalist)

“I’m going offline so I don’t have to sign up for their bullshit” Mad respect. ✊

"No one has submitted a run on the Switch" There may be a reason for that.

I was in college and only had a switch when this game came out. Beating the pre-patch holt slayer gate on nightmare on switch is still one of my proudest accomplishments

I like the doom slayer he is nice for saving the world

Beat eternal and all its dlcs on an international flight with 2 hours of sleep on the switch. It 's not that bad, you just have to get used to it

Man, it really isn't that bad on switch I had a great time with it and didn't even notice half the stuff mentioned, I played on uv and it was pretty hard might just be because it was a first playthrough

Lol I really enjoyed the video! I think the classics work well on Switch but when it comes to modern Doom I really need to play them on pc. Mad respect to you and anyone who can beat Eternal on console. I can't even imagine the master levels and Ancient Gods like that. Super funny seeing you pull off those skips with joycons lol.

4:06 this happens to me EVERY TIME I play hell on earth 😭😭😭

The worst part of this bid is definitely the classic weapon pose xDDDD

the reason the marauder still shield enemy projectiles was cause hugo and the community thought it added an interesting layer of challenge to the enemy and kept it i guess the doom community enjoys it when people suffer

I'm still amazed how well this games looks on switch

It is possible to edit the control schemes and allow for some limited weapon quick swaps. Admittedly the update might've been too late for this run.

I think you could do this a lotttttt easier with motion controls… seriously they save the Switch ports of precise games like this

Don’t tell speedrunners tips or secrets about the games they are playing they will get mad about it

So I played on switch too but I didn’t have the bugs with the only difference being that I had an internet connection.

“Can you beat doom eternal before switch-cons die” the speedrun

okay, lemme be clear here about specifically the quickswap thing because that part specifically ticked me off a bit lmfao i'm gonna preface before i do the rest of the comment: regular DE is a little busted and DE Switch sucks. let's not fucking call an apple an orange, DE has bugs and DE Switch is a cool little novelty port, but a novelty at best. But you CAN quickswap by tapping R on joy-con. I can totally just upload a video of me doing it literally right this second. I can even upload a video of me not being able to quickswap with the weapon wheel button because there is no ammo in my guns. it's so easily proven, you can just boot the game up and try it yourself, but it's so inconsequential that it's honestly a little whatever. however, the way you go about it doesn't sound like you're making an observation, it's like you're making a big scene out of nothing and then trying to play it off like you're cool as fuck. like some kid who's learning skateboarding trying out a trick, falling off the board, than saying "skateboarding is busted anyway" is it childish to start ACTUALLY insulting you over this? oh totally. some of these comments, WOOF. but like... did you really NEVER EVER try quickswapping to an empty gun through the weapon wheel tap method anywhere else and just got gaslit by a chat member or something?? cuz that's kinda what this feels like lmfao

I love Doom Eternal and I have it on the switch and it's great

5:06 might be a broken button tbh. Quick swapping works with joycons just fine.

You can finally feel my pain while playing Doom Eternal on the switch

never need cereal again after this. I see lots of crunchy shit everywhere

"They did not audio balance this well" i think that just u bruv. I havent had issues

Doom 2016 on the switch was so lit

I own the Xbox version and the Switch version.. The Switch version is hard as hell no matter the difficulty settlings..

ngl ik but when i first played doom eternal on switch it was mad easy for me. I didn’t even have an challenge with the controls and movement. And it never crashes for me. If you check this video after a year this posted that funny ngl lol.

17:54 Jokes aside, Doom on Switch was a completely unexpected when it was released, the ports of both titles are works of art. I don't know what the fuck are you expecting from hardware that's a mid tier smartphone from 2016, that thing doesn't go beyond 720p for a reason.

How did you record the screen? Also this is very cool... I play Doom and all I have to play on is a Switch.

I’ve only played Eternal on the Switch. I’ve beat it on Ultra-Violence, working on Nightmare. It is a… nightmare Edit: Exclusively handheld too

Gyro aiming could've made so many parts less tedious

As much as people hate on the switch port, and rightfully so, i think the dev team deserves a massive respect for essentially porting a modern triple A pc game to a 7 year old android tablet

I'm planning to buy DOOM 2016 on my switch OLED. This video will probably help me decide whether I'm making a good choice or not

Its great someone decided to do this. I had to use the gyro controls on this which i dunno if it was any easier

bro you should be grateful to be able to play this EVERYWHERE

I play on switch lite and its not half as bad, you can quickswap,and you can probably do some skips

I beated the campaign and the two dlc's on ultra nightmare on a switch lite

29:55 did you know it was absolutely unnecessary to shame that dude in the chat that wasnt being disrespectful at all?

I'd love to see what this port is like on the switch 2

I know this is old but I’ve played a lot on switch. There are a few points: -quick swapping works fine for me on joycons. What you may need to do is change a setting that determines how long you need to hold the weapon wheel button before it registers a wheel/quickswap. - I’ve played it on PS4. I frankly prefer switch for one reason: GYRO AIMING. I have it tuned super low, so that I can make micro adjustments with my grip. It gives me enough accuracy that I can turn off auto aiming! -yes the graphics and sound suck haha

If a Switch Pro/2 ever comes out this'll be super fun to play tho.

So when do we start practicing for Ultra Nightmare Switch? Is that mode even available? If your Switch dies mid run will you continue where you left off? LOL, probably lots more fun.

I hate when people play the 7 year old, under powered handheld version of the game and complain about graphics and performance

Legitimately, with no hint of exaggeration, better than the Xbox version, exclusively because of gyro aiming

I completed the whole game on the switch and I was right now seconds old when I learned that there was a button to switch h weapons quickly, I though I just ad to change weapon quickly

I beat the game on the switch in just under 90 minutes. This has been the only thing I bragged about for two years now.

You can quick swap with joycons, I play it all the time on the switch out of a desire to not dedicate almost 100 gb to my hard drive instead of just 33 on my switch.

Tbh the game doesn’t look that bad on the switch surprisingly

I could live with 30fps and the lower graphics quality, but the controls would be terrible. I hated the switch joysticks no to end, feeling very tight and not being analog felt sluggish. I might try it on steamdeck to test it there being full analog and I'm planning on upgrading to hall effect sticks soon.

Broooo I played doom eternal my first time on switch it's not even that bad

You should have played it on the dock mod

I only have it on switch I deal with

Heres the thing the people who played exclusivlely on the switch will be absolutely cracked when they play on a better console, an example is fortnite on switch some people only play on that version, but when they move to say a ps4 they will win 4 or 5 games in a row

Would highly recommend using gryo controls

Oh shit haha!! I saw this video a while ago (when I left my other comment), and then just recently I met you in the Discord server. 😅 I didn't know you were the one who made this video! I am a Switch player (it's the only platform I can play on) and I'm serious about speedrunning. There are more important things in my life obviously, but I just mean as a hobby.

as somebody who plays the switch, it is quite fun but the fun zone is hard to enter, i tend to use SSG and ballista or precision bolt and rocket launcher, as those are the only viable ways to have fun on the switch you also need to edit some things to quickswap (been palying since oct 2022, level 162 currently, :D)

I played beat and bought the dlc on switch despite having a PC and PS4. I’d say it was pretty fun, but I did crash a couple times

Why didn’t he use the pro controller? Seems like he wanted to make this port look bad as possible.

I have watch this for 4 times and it never gets boring (also I'm about to play doom eternal on switch because imma get doom eternal and watching this gave me tips on playing doom eternal)❤

I'm actually surprised on how good this game looks on switch

when i played doom eternal on Nintendo switch, frag grenade didn't work

Don't worry, I've been trying to 100% all difficulties in doom eternal.......but Im not gonna 100% complete ultra-nightmare

Trying to quick switch with 1 gun and no ammo 😂😂😂

4:51 this is realy weird becouse i am able to quickswap on the switch by pressing r and i do not have pro controllers.

I never found a problem playing on the Switch.

6:50 how did you defeat that guy. 2 blows and your dead. I tryed 100 times

You could have fixed your Joycons by getting replacement hall effect analog sticks - or even using a KingKong Pro 2 controller that has hall effect sticks built in…just saying it would have been less torture 😅

You couldn’t quick swap because you had no ammo in the shotgun

Next speed run doom on a Nokia

Fairly certain the quick swap wasn't working because you were out of ammo.

23:36 bro doing it on switch while i cant do that on a controler

Ive played through the enitre game on nightmare and though the switch port has problems its not nearly as bad as he makes it out to be

Beating eternal on my switch lite was WILD

So, as a person who has exclusively played DE on their buggy as fuck switch (on a wired GC controller no less) this was a fun watch

People dont know about the free repairs for joycons from Nintendo

I beat it on nightmare mode. In handheld mode though.

The Switch Version supports Motion controlls.... Why havent you used it its the best mouse replacement i play doom eternal that way on my pc with a ps4 controller...

what bothers me the most is that the rocket center-fires on this

Tropius is both tragic and gangster

iv played a lot of doom eternal and im not trying to defend the switch here i know it is bad now a days but its really not as bad as your making it out to be i have 400 hours played on it on pc and 180 hours played on it on switch and it runs fine sure it doesn't look good but ill tell you this for me it runs at a locked 30 fps 90% of the time and i really tried to play back were you say it legs but i don't see it and you also don't need high fps for doom it is a single player game for the most part and is fine at 30 or 60 fps on consoles you don't need 200 plus fps for doom but i can under stand if it is a speed run but even low fps can be good for a speed run

Me who beat the whole campaign with only joy cons:

sir I can see that you like pain, you have my respects

You can quick swap on switch, it’s just when you were trying you had no ammo for your shot gun

You NEED a pro controller or a controller like it to play DOOM eternal right. I applaud anyone that can do it with joycons, especially if you do it in handheld mode since thats the only time i had issues with the game.

Great video but I don't understand why you didn't use a Pro Controller. 40 hour battery life and feels so much better than those JoyCons.

The first time i played doom was doom 2016 on switch (don't judge me) a few years later i played it again on xbox one x and i was just like "wait, why is there more details than i remember" and it only was on doom 2016 and i aslo remember having to uninstall all of my other games lmao

Twice already I completed the Super Gore Nest Master Level on Nightmare, and both times it consistently crashed on me right as I pulled the second lever right at the end

I’m currently playing it and I’m stuck at the marauder in the crumbling arena place
