Do you use the buttons, or just add the tags yourself?? Because it fucked it in the exact same order as the earlier one. Url tag inside video tag, video id repeated inside video tag

Found this interesting over the weekend:

Doom Eternal's The Ancient Gods, Part One DLC will be available as a standalone game
"You don't even need to own Doom Eternal to buy the DLC and play it."

Yeah, there’s a few rhythm action shooters that have turned up recently, it’s weird. Not complaining - many of them look really fun, just strange that I saw 2/3 within the space of a couple of months and they all seem deep in dev, so don’t think it’s a case of bandwagon hopping.

Not got Gamepass?

Finally started this, got to the 2nd planet and its all abit meh. The first Doom was fantastic. So far this has been so so with some dodgy platforming bits. I presume it will get better?

2016 for the old fashioned modern gamers and Eternal for the galaxy brains.

Started playing this but not sure if I like it. Think I preferred the feel of 2016 better. I think I'm not actually a fan of really tight and intense gameplay loops, I tend to have more fun with looser gameplay that allows me more chill time to think tactically. Not that keen on the more arcadey overall style too, 2016 was a better balance between a convincing mad sci fi world and practical game tropes.

I've barely played it though, so I'll be coming back every so often to see if it grabs me.

Would accept Blood as an alternative answer tho.

Played and loved Bulletstorm, yep.

Eternal is far more technical and challenging overall than 2016. By the end you’ll be swapping runes and mods, trying to find the most efficient setup as you use everything in your arsenal to take on combat challenges that are tailor made to have you sweating.

I had a chat with one of the old PC gamer editors recently about the whole 2016/Eternal standoff that seems to dominate mentions of either, and we agreed that putting them against each other is vaguely pointless - they both aim for and excel at different things, and in doing so trying to decide which is better feels redundant.

2016 is a straightforward power fantasy old school FPS. Largely slavish to its roots with a few gameplay additions. Eternal is like a high budget custom WAD, refined for the people who wanted less of the old school and more of the additions. They’re both great, but I don’t think preferring one over the other is as simple as one being better than the other. They’re both made for different types of players really, which can perhaps be boiled down to the fact that there is no way in Eternal to slam micro missiles at everything, because of the way ammo generation works: two different design intentions.

Finished Eternal again, this time on Ultraviolence and it's reminded me that there's no way it won't be in my game of the year list. It's odd how divisive it is, but I can understand why people looking for a power fantasy are put off. Ammo is so scarce, and cooldowns massively affect your ability to gain health, ammo and armour whilst you're playing. But that just means that whenever I managed to get past a tricky encounter, it was through sheer reflex and skill - popping weakspots with precision heavy cannon shots, burning a demon before gibbing it for an explosion of armour, dashing away from huge enemies before freezing a group and blowing them to kingdom come - everything plays at 100mph and never lets up, and it's pure bliss. One of the few games that makes me feel like a god damn hero.

Bethesda can go do one the fecking cunts. Why do i need to sign into bethesda.net to play doom on my ps4. Go fuck yourself. A quick google and i have to disable my ps4 network connection to go straight into the game. What a bunch of cunts.

The platforming is well simple and easy
