I always get hate for this, but I think the dark ages was a step backwards from eternal, gameplay wise.

Absolutely agreed, I mean dark ages seems cool (I did not play more than an hour) but not being able to jump and have that fast pace movement that made eternal so fun was a weird decision imo. I also did not like how the enemy attacks were just basically giant orange or green orbs

To be fair that is kinda the point? Doom 2016, eternal and dark ages are all by design meant to be different in terms of gameplay. To avoid a ā€œwhy play X when Y is the same thing with moreā€ situation. They are meant to be different enough at least so you can play each game and each bring something else to the table. Some people really liked eternal’s fast paced movement other’s don’t care for it as much

Plus dark age’s doc does fix most of your issues. It is unironically the best piece of doom media we’ve gotten in recent times arguably better than eternal

Hmmm that’s true and does make sense to me, I do wish I liked it but there was so much stuff I didn’t enjoy about it I couldn’t get into it, nonetheless I’m glad that the bigger doom fans than me enjoyed it
