We’re sure creating all the weird lore was so Bethesda didn’t have to worry about upsetting religious people in America but it’s painfully dull and completely at odds with the high-octane madness of the game itself.ĭoom Eternal is basically an 80s heavy metal cover brought to life. Although, once again, we’ve ended up frustrated by its horribly uninteresting storytelling which manages to make a demonic invasion of Earth seem no different from a hundred other alien invasions in video games. A lot of us won't make it past the menu.Doom Eternal is already one of our favourite games of the year, so the excuse to replay it has been very welcome. Looks like Doom Eternal is gonna be a challenging game, then. But yeah, if it turns out that the account linking is mandatory then that's a dick move. Not as crippling as the PS3 version, but definitely noticable. The Switch version of 3 is spot-on for the most part (well, it is the BFG Edition :/), however I noticed a few FPS dips in Docked mode. It's also 15.7GB, despite originally fitting on a X360 DVD. Once I fired up the oldskool ports they logged in automatically so I didn't notice if there was a way to bypass the login menu in those, but I've since tried all three games in Flight Mode and aside from a few screens bitching at me to turn it off and the usual "online features will not be available" tripe, the games seem to be fully playable.Īlso can confirm the PS4 versions have the same shit, presumably the XB1, too. Also, cheats are simply selected from the options menu, but the only ones it offers are IDDQD, IDKFA, and IDBEHOLD for every powerup except partial invisibility.įired up Doom 3 first, it initially allowed me to press B to skip the login prompt but since I had an account from the QC beta I went ahead and linked it anyway. Despite this, you do see their proper names as a WILV# lump when selecting them for multiplayer. So they'll still have the same sky and music as they did originally, and are even referred to as "Entryway" or whatever map they originally replaced when you beat them, at which point you're sent back to the selection screen. NRftL is nowhere to be found.ĮDIT: Also, the Master Levels are listed in the same order as the PSN version, but selected individually. Also interesting is that the only expansion available is Master Levels.


You can select maps when playing DM or co-op, and while the secret maps are now known as "Wolfenstein" and "Grosse" again, they still have censored textures and zombiemen. So it turns out I already had an account, I think I got it by accident when Quake Champions was free for a couple days.
