“The slayer has entered the facility” Random demon: The W H A T

The Act Man: Dialogue is forgettable. Me: *YoU CaN't JuSt ShoOt a HoLe InTo ThE SuRfAcE Of MaRs*

"Here's an idea, what about a horde mode" That aged so well

this game is absolutely worth 60$, i have literally replayed it so many times, it is genuinely that fun. 11/10 game.

Dialogue forgetable? You don't remember: "The longer the icon of sin stays on hearth, the stronger it becomes." or "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars!"

“You can’t just shoot a hole into mars” Objective: *Shoot a hole into mars*

Sad to see Mick Gordon had a hard time with this games music and horrible time dealing with the lies the hire ups said about him. Bro makes some beautiful beats and people who wrong him, will HEAR THE RIFFS OF HIS 9 STRING!

great video, just wanna mention, the marauder is meant to be the first introduction to quickswitching. the moment you learn how to switch weapons better, he becomes infinitely easier to fight. even on console, just swapping between ssg and ballista is enough to take him out in a couple of cycles. even if you're not at mid range, the moment he shoots out the axe beam thing, he will rush you and do the green eye attack. i know this is from last year, but i just felt this might help someone whos having some trouble.

Doom 2016: 70GB Doom Eternal: 40GB Me: Wut?

_-"Why Is DOOM Eternal SO AWESOME?!"-_ _"DOOM Eternal is SO AWESOME."_ Because no one would ask why, or rather, everyone knows why already.

"i had to swap weapons every 5 seconds and chainsaw a guy every minute" that's the entire point

I found the ammo restrictions really rewarding. Having to balance health, armour and ammo forces you to be careful which demons you kill when and how you do it, and by the time I got to the end of the game I really felt like I’d mastered it and it just felt so good

he's not getting soft, he doesn't punch the upgrade bots because they're vega's, not the UAC's

Mick Gordon is so metal he should be added to the periodic table.

Wonder if Acting Man has played the DLCs and master levels. A retrospect video would be really cool

16:33 that's... the point of the game. You're supposed to be switching weapons instead of relying on the SSG all the time. That's how weapon combos work. 16:56 that's why you have the chainsaw, and that refuels every 10 seconds 17:29 you wouldn't see that if you implemented the chainsaw into your gameplay to resupply ammo. The chainsaw isn't there so you can blow through all your ammo and restock. You use it at around half ammo to keep the gameplay going, and you'll never run out of ammo 17:55 you should be swapping weapons for LESS than every 5 seconds. It's in the loading screen tutorials that it's a part of the combat loop. And you SHOULD be using the chainsaw every minute or so because that's it's purpose. Then again, this review was made a little after release, so I can understand that the gameplay wasn't fully understood

Oh, man, I wonder how The Act Man will talk about the Marauder, who's probably the best enemy in Doom Eternal right now. Given that he's an FPS god, I wonder what he thinks. The Act Man: The Marauder sucks. Me: *You were never one of us. You were nothing but a usurper. A false idol. My eyes have been opened. Let me help you to see, Act Man.*

The Act Man: "The dialogue is forgettable" Dr. Samuel Hayden: "That is a weapon. Not a teleporter." "The longer the Icon of Sin is on Earth, the stronger it becomes." (and by far the most memorable quote from DOOM Eternal) "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars."

21:58 “You couldn’t just copy the Gladiator into fights with other demons” TAG1 masters: “Bring him”

I just finished this game today, and tbh, I thought it was an amazing experience. I like DOOM 2016's visuals, boxart, demon designs, and overall arstyle a lot better, but this game's environments, story, and gameplay better. I changed my skin a lot, but for the most part, especially in the end game, I found myself rocking the 2016 Praetor suit, because that one's my favorite. I really enjoyed the final boss. I thought it was really satisfying to see his armor then body fall apart over time. My only complaint about the final boss was that it felt a little too long, but maybe that's just my fault. Overall, I thought it was an amazing game, and would highly recommend this, especially to FPS fans.

“You can’t shoot a hole on the surface of Mars!” *New Objective: Shoot a hole into the surface of Mars*

Oh crap, ActMan look out! There’s a Hellknight behind you! Ah jeez, hes listening to DOOM Eternal’s soundtracks with the new Raycon E25 earbuds and can’t hear us! Curse you Raycon!

TheActman : "The Marauder is so hard and tedious, bro" Everyone in the comments : "git gud, noob"

Act Man, I love ya but people really need to get over the "ammo limitation". I'm currently practicing the game on Ultra Nightmare and only using the chainsaw at key, fairly rare moments and I hardly struggle with ammo. So what if we have to use the chainsaw to get more? In CoD, you gotta press square to reload after every 30 bullets. Having to chainsaw every 60 seconds or so is nothing, compared to that. That's why the fuel regenerates. It's no big deal. Also, the Marauder is highly misunderstood. But I'll leave it at that since I've already made a whole two paragraphs about the chainsaw.

“Dialogue is forgettable” 99% of one of the missions dialogue: THE LONGER THE ICON OF SIN IS ON EARTH, THE STRONGER HE WILL BECOME

The soundtrack in itself is worth $60. Good to see we get a free game too!

For me this is the best FPS I’ve ever played! Because it does what other FPS titles should be doing: JUST. GO. FUCKING. NUTS. It’s fast paced, bloody, and just gives you an adrenaline rush!

22:05 Yes, just keep hitting his shield, I'm sure it will work out greay

"Remember, demons can be an offensive word. The preferred term is Mortally Challenged." Has to be my favorite quote from this game

Dr Hayden: That is a weapon, not a teleporter. Doom Guy: You’re not my mom.

The DLCs really bring the story together. I think the story is pretty amazing honestly.

I think the ammo count was designed to be the way it is to balance ultra violence difficulty. Rather than turn the enemy into meat shields or the tile to kill you into something like Halo 2 legendary, you are constantly forced to search the map for every little bit of fuel for your chainsaw and scrap of ammo you can pick up.

"I was switching guns every 5 seconds." That long, huh?

To be fair. In ID Software's defense with the Marauder. They said that ''When he is on the field. You no longer control the fight. He does.'' Thank you all for all the likes! Really appreciate it. Stay home, stay safe!

The story is actually quite compelling beneath the surface, they just didn't really tell it very well

This game isnt just awesome, imo its one of the best games of all time. So perfectly designed

The Act Man: "The lines in DOOM: Eternal are forgettable" The DOOM Community: "The longer the Icon of Sin is on Earth, the stronger it becomes."

ARC Scientist: “We have to, ah, prepare for his careful extraction...” Doomguy: *YOINK*

I actually disagreed with a lot of his statements. The first one was about how he said, "forgettable, characters are forgettable, dialogue is forgettable and the plot is forgettable". In my "opinion" Bethesda made a memorable story on how the Doomslayer is fighting through the forces of hell to stop the Priests and the Khan Maykr from destroying Earth. Also, the betrayer is not forgettable he's a badass with a cool big hammer.

that guy Hugo Martin is such a legendary Creative Director if half the other creative directors in the industry were as talented, passionate and serious as him we'd have a huge number of +9/10 video games every year

Dr Hayden: You can’t just shoot a hole on the surface of Mars! Doomslayer: *I WILL BLOW A HOLE IN THE SURFACE OF MARS*

Samuel: yOu cAnT jUsT sHoOt a hOlE iN tHe sUrFaCe oF mArS *”The Slayer shoots a hole in the surface of Mars”*

One of my favorite parts of the game was definitely the slayer gates. Seeing there icons on the map made me feel so excited,and playing through them my god I never had so much fun in my life,yes there are extremely hard (especially the later ones),but that's why there PERFECT. It's a true test of your skill,and completely them felt SO good.

Bruh I get pumped up everytime I see a marauder cus I know it's gonna go down. The game literally tell you when to attack the dude.

"The suit upgrades are not that impactful" >0 upgrades on frost grenades Sir, have you heard of the health drops on attack on frozen enemies? That shit will get you from low health to up in no time when the fight gets real crowded.

Samuel Hayden: "You can't just shoot a hole into Mars." Doomguy: *"Observe."*

The Marauder is literally the best character in the game. I love fighting him

The Act Man: Trying to kill the marauder with the gatling

“Dialogue is forgettable” Me: *The term demon might be offensive, use the term mortality challenged*

*Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for THE ACT MAN to do a "Why Fallout New Vegas Was So Awesome"*

"Dialogue is forgettable." "The cleansing of Earth is a necessary step for a brighter tomorrow." Reminded me of "Without becoming multicultural Europe will not survive."

I personal love that the normal punch does little damage as I can so easily find amusement in bullying the last fodder demon with it before moving on, like, they're trying to fight battle but just get beat up.

Bro Doomguy was so rich from all those games he bought himself a dope ass space base

I gotta disagree with you on the story here my guy, I honestly love it. I find this story so compelling and interesting but it’d told in such a way where it’s not up in your face, it’s told through short cutscenes (which you can obviously skip) through dialogue or the environment which won’t interrupt the flow of the game or through in depth codex’s which are optional.

Bruh the story in Eternal is just so much better. 2016 explained argent energy and a bit about the demon hierarchy. Eternal has the Sentinels, Maykrs, how the whole universe came to be, the Slayer's story and so much more. As for the main plot 2016 was like: Argent energy bad, go to hell close portal oh no woman opened a new one go close it, while Eternal was: universe in danger, kill priests to stop invasion then kill God (not even counting the dlcs).

Complaining about the marauder: Okay what the hell is that gameplay

"Marauder forces the player to slow down" Laughs in full auto shotgun one cycle Marauder kill.

I actually like the story of eternal when Samuel talks I listen and I LOVE the lore behind the codex's its so interesting

You kick open this door and find a hell priest grabs his neck "sup dude". Had me dead

Lol I actually do love how they took those fire bars straight out of Super Mario Bros. It’s awesome!

I really liked the story actually, I thought it was a refreshing way of telling it. Not at all boring to me.

“The marauder is poopoo and too hard and slows everything down” Ballista > Super Shotgun > Ballista Edit: throw in a grenade if you feel extra spicy

I liked the story in doom eternal, it reminds me of the story in the original doom. Not complicated, to the point and it just justifies your actions without you having to think too hard. I understand other people like story in games and that's fine, but I feel like the game stays true to its roots. For better or worse.

Great review except i disagree with the critic on the marauder. He is a huge skill check in the game. End of story. Replay earlier segments on harder difficulties if you need to "get good". This game kinda is a competitive sigle player game

I’m gonna be honest man of acting, this is my first time I’ve disagreed with you. 1: Personally I feel the marauder enforces speed and staying on the move more than anything. Getting quick chainsaws and glory kills after stunning him. Keeping distance with dodges. Quickly taking advantage of his attacks. Not shooting his shield so the dog won’t come out. It’s like a quick dance. 2: The parts you called cringey I found SICK. The part where the DoomSlayer talks felt awesome because it not only connected him to the universe but just was a huge revelation and he just sounded sick. 3: The lack of ammo really in my opinion made you better at the game. It was way more fun to be constantly switching between guns, something that most players didn’t do in 2016. 4: The story was great. I’m not even a hardcore fan. In fact I’ve only played 2016 and Eternal. I loved the characters. The betrayer showing up was great. Especially because it really starts off the DoomSlayer’s origin by shutting a theory down. The Khan Makyr was a fun villain, design wise and character wise. Does she have a lot of depth, no, but she did enough in my opinion. In general i might’ve disagreed with you but I watched the whole thing because I love your videos and your personality. I also agreed with you gameplay wise as well.

**Doomslayer when he finds out the Icon of Sin is the final boss, again** "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN!?"

The point of the marauder is to force you to focus him first and he only summons the wolf when you shoot his shield (and that you do a LOT ngl)

I tried playing the two new wolfenstein games and doom 2016 after this, and I have to say, the speed is a complete game maker Overall, I didn’t get into the game until I ran it in nightmare. That was amazing. The marauder is only as difficult as the enemies you have to deal with alongside him, so prioritizing them and meathooking around trivializes him

"dont shoot his shield" *shoots shield ugh it's so hard

In the words of Hugo Martin "Or you could just get good."

my oinly complaint is that i wish the multiplayer mode had regular gameplay modes instead of the one we have in eternal

I love that the Guns and Bullets magazine is actually a Fallout Reference

"The dialogue is forgettable" Man just dissed Hayden's final boss quote.

"Dialogue is forgettable" Every samuel hayden voice line: "Are you sure about that"

I actually like the marauder and I think he works really good In group fights, he puts pressure on the player and is like a objective. An enemy constantly harassing you while your trying to kill other demons. If you take him out first(which isn’t hard once you know how to use combos) he functions different to every other demon by design. He’s meant to make you panic and like I said earlier it’s like a secondary objective Also the complaint that you have to switch weapons every 5 seconds is completely how the game was made, it was made to be a loop or as people like to call it, the doom dance.

Great video! I personally didnt have much problems with the ammo and chainsawing every minute made it more fun for me

Those who are complaining about the marauder, yall just cant handle the heat

"hmmm the marauder is extending his shield, better empty all my ammo into it, 4835th time's the charm"

I know I'm 2 years late, but the Maurader essentially demanding your attention in a way unlike any other demon isn't really a good criticism. Think to Doom 2, with the Archvile. The Archvile was a right bastard because of his 'I see you, you die' nature, but despite that, everyone loves him, and got hyped when they saw him return. Why does the maurader acting seperate from the rest of the demons need to be a bad thing? Just my view

The Act man said in his *Is Halo CE a masterpiece* that “when you do the Library mission it forces you to switch up your strategy, and that’s a good thing” So isn’t it the same for the marauder, your using the *GUNS BLAZE SHOOT EVERYONE DIE* strategy the whole game but when the marauder comes around your forced to switch up your strategy and figure out how to beat him

Journalists: “too graphic, too hard, unfair game, weapons are bad.”

I don't think I've clicked on an Act Man video this fast EVER. I have been dying for this one

34:52 It's funny because they actually add a modality called Horde mode

For my part I just loved the story. A really epic tale of a human becoming a God. Granted you have to read all the codex to get that feel but yeah

26:15 He probably doesn't punch the drones anymore because they have VEGA's name on them, and VEGA is one of the only beings he truly cares for.

Act Man just casually misses out that the story confirmed that THIS IS THE SAME DAMN DOOMGUY FROM THE ORIGINAL DOOM GAME HOLY HELL

I love how in Eternals intro it’s like: Yo we back on Mars And Then the Camera goes off planet: Where’s the camera going Shows a destroyed Moon and ravaged Earth: Oh yeah

Doom Guy : Rip and Tear, Until It's Done Any Hell inhabitant lower than a mini-boss : Hide and Pray, Until He's Gone

Tbh, I never saw Doomguy as an edgy/brooding "rage golem." It just fit him to be a mostly polite, cheery, and friendly kind of person in my eyes, despite the absolutely monstrous amount of suffering he's endured. It's clear he's still a regular human man deep inside, with his skateboard, nunchucks, workshop, guitars, comic books, gaming computer... and Daisy.

If you look close enough, the robots that give you the weapon upgrades say "VEGA". So the Slayer doesn't punch his friend, what a homie.

And the award for the best YT intro goes to…

i thought eternal had a decent story, it kept me interested and had good lore

“A word from our sponsor” *holds a phone* I swear to god.... “Reycon” Ok good.

Hayden telling Doomguy anything: you can't do this Doomguy: Observe

28:22 SICK 3 monitor setup

The game is about prioritization. When you first enter a room you have to analyze which demons are there. Some weapons are more effective than others for certain demons. For a mancubus I like to use ballista, rocket launcher, and super shotgun with meat hook to finish him off. Cacodemons are really good for when you need health as all they require is one grenade and now you have +50hp. If you are low on armor, gather fodder in one spot, flame belch the group, and either use the super shotgun or grenade to kill them all at once. Alternatively you can get the rune that drops hp on blood punch, flame belch and blood punch to get armor and hp. I played on nightmare for my first playthrough and let me tell you if even one of the tools were not there, the game would be much harder. Everything has a purpose and the game will continue to punish you until you play the game as intended by utilizing all its features.

Actually, Doomguy doesn't beat the hell (pun intended) out of the drones with the care packages anymore because they are supplied by VEGA

FOR IT IS HE THAT THEY FEAR, NOT MAN OR HIS ARMIES. They _fear_ the mark of the salute... As in the salute Act Man does?

The marauder is actually a pretty good enemy he actually forces you to speed the hell up instead of you being super slow infact the marauder and the doom hunter carry the combat by making it harder and there more fun to kill them
