Hound: I see. From whatever little gameplay I watched (not too much because I don't want to be spoiled), the game looks pretty intense and action-packed and I like it so far... but there are quite a few things that I don't like already. There, I ripped (and teared) the bandaid off.

I can tell that they stupidly nerfed Doomslayer for the sake of progression; the melee attacks are even worse than the last game; I don't care if you give me Blood Punch or other shit later; I expected to at least two-hit imps with the melee and even make Hellknights flinch, godsdarnit ! And why the fuck do you carry less ammo than in fucking Super Hot ? 16 shells for the shotgun and 60 bullets for the machinegun ?! What the hell am I supposed to do with that ? And ammo or other items are scarser than in previous game. Oh sure, you're supposed to refill from enemies because they give the chainsaw early and it's said that one bar of fuel will always recharge after a while, so they really want you to use it, but that annoying "Low Ammo" warning pops up a bit to often for my taste.

It was also said that Doomslayer runs slightly slower than last time because they expect you to use the dash move often to evade attacks. Trying to focus often on enemy weakspots looks too gimnicky and distracting. Oh, and Invasions should just go away and never come back. I said it about Dark Souls and I'll say it here too: being invaded by other players is just griefing made legal and it should just stop. If I want to play some multiplayer, I'll just click 'Join' from a godamn list. Oh, and the infighting is apparently scripted only and demons don't actualy hurt eachother, from what I've seen.

They also didn't even explained how did Doomslayer got his Doom Fortress or if it was always just floating there. Where was he teleported last time by Samuel Hayden ? Last time they didn't even implied that those Hell Priests were around. And how did the demons got to Earth in the first place. They didn't even show how VEGA got readtivated. Surely these questions would get answered later but still; some of these details just came out of nowhere.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting so many complaints on this. Maybe it won't be so bad once I play it myself, but right now, for the first time in my life, I'm rather skeptical about a Doom game, much less this one. Although, it's nice to see you got over your worries with the difficulty, Hound. Personaly, I just hope I won't be forced to bump down to Hurt Me Plenty; I'm not as good at games as I used to.

I got no problems with the Quake feel, though (maybe we'll have a Quake 5 shortly after, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
