If there’s one thing that I cannot understate about my time playing DOOM Eternal this week it would be that it just feels incredible to play. The shooting, movement, and everything else in between just feel s perfect. Conveying the feel of a game is a hard thing to get across in pieces like this without having actually played it for yourself, but the way everything bleeds into one another in this game is incredi
There is no doubt in my mind that DOOM Eternal is now officially my most-anticipated game for the remainder of 2019. If you liked 2016’s revival of DOOM , then you’re going to lose your mind once you get your hands on Eternal . DOOM Eternal wasn’t just the best game that we played this week during E3 2019 , it seems like it has a chance to collect quite a bit of year-end awards as well once the dust settles. Let’s just hope that the full game can reach the same highs as the demo that I pla
RAGE 2 is incomparable with other post-apocalyptic games coming out this year, and looking to shake up the formula. Merging open-world gameplay with break-neck close combat action, the game will scratch a DOOM itch while we wait for DOOM Eternal . However, Avalanche Studios is setting up to evolve how we look at combat in a modern open-world FPS, and you should be exci
In a similar vein, Cyberpunk 2077 ’s E3 2019 presentation put the spotlight on the game’s many RPG options. From character customization to dialogue trees, Cyberpunk 2077 is still very much in the spirit of CD Projekt Red’s past games. Yes, the game still looks gorgeous and there were no load screens. But what impressed us the most is how CDPR wants players to have total freedom when it comes to approaching this world, as evidenced by the demo going through sections of the game twice (once stealth and once on offense). And the game even supports a full non-lethal playthrou
DOOM Eternal has continued to add even more mechanics and systems than its predecessor to encourage this aggressive style of play, too. Glory kills return from the last game and these actions still give you health upon pulling them off. Chainsaw kills, in a similar fashion, still refuel your ammo reserves when needed. Joining these mechanics in Eternal though is that of a flamethrower which helps give you added armor. If you utilize your new flame device to catch demons on fire, killing them while they’re still ablaze will allow you to net additional armor that explodes forth out of foes upon death. When you get into the thick of an arena battle in doom eternal strategy|https://doometernalplay.com/ Eternal , you’ll have to keep track of all three of these levels (health, armor, and ammo) and make sure that you’re pulling off kills that will benefit what you might need at a given t
Bethesda was also keen to unveil the DOOM Eternal collector’s edition, replete with fan essentials such as an exclusive steelbook, a lore book, a wearable Doom Slayer helmet, digital in-game goodies and m
Borderlands 3
It’s been seven years since Borderlands 2 , so fans of the looter-shooter franchise are no doubt excited to get their hands on Borderlands 3 . The recent Borderlands 3 gameplay reveal event gave fans their first in-depth look at what the long-awaited sequel will have to offer, but even more information on the game should come to light at E3 2019 in J
Like Bethesda, Electronic Arts is struggling with an image problem after the Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot box controversy and the Anthem drama. EA is opting out of a traditional press conference for E3 2019, but the company will look to win fans over with news on Anthem ‘s future, a possible new Apex Legends character, more content for Battlefield V , and the very first Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay foota
I’ve already seen some people expressing concerns about more platforming being implemented in DOOM Eternal but I don’t think there’s anything to be nervous about. If anything, the only reason I didn’t love these brief platforming areas was because they seemed to break up the flow of combat a bit. The actual movement felt really precise and f
Among which are the Arachnotron, a miniaturized version of the Spider Mastermind armed with a plasma cannon, and what would appear to be Eternal ‘s take on the Nightmare Imps, more dangerous and agile versions of their more common, less nightmarish counterpa
And speaking of the Super Shotgun, the weapon’s new grappling hook is a godsend. The Super Shotgun was already my favorite weapon to use in DOOM but being able to now quickly fly between enemies with the grappling device just feels phenomenal. I haven’t seen all of the weapons and additions that each will have in DOOM Eternal , but the grappling hook for the Super Shotgun is a game-changer. I look forward to blasting hundreds of demons apart with it in the final prod
Some of these games may not end up delivering when they finally release but for an initial first showing or a chance to finally go hands-on, they left a strong impression. And the good news is all of them should be out before E3 next y
