It kicks ass, we all know Bethesda is gay but it's worth it. Unlock the classic Doomguy skin ASAP, it only requires two crystals to unlock which you get relatively early.

Complete retard, Doomguy is a canonical CHAD:
>You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago, you assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbor, while you were transferred to Mars, home of the Union Aerospace Corporation.

>The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with radioactive waste facilities on Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos. With no action for fifty million miles, your day consisted of suckin' dust and watchin' restricted flicks in the rec room.

>A Chilling S.O.S.
>A few hours ago, Mars received a garbled message from Phobos. "We require immediate military support. Something fraggin' evil is coming out of the Gateways! Computer systems have gone berserk!" The rest was incoherent. Soon afterwards, Deimos simply vanished from the sky. Since then, attempts to establish contact with either moon have been unsuccessful.

>You and your buddies, the only combat troop for fifty million miles were sent up pronto to Phobos. You were ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio picked up the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally, silence. Seems your buddies are dead.

Fucking based, mostly liked around here except for a few old good new bad fags like >>7180843 Some had issues with him finally speaking or the Doom Slayer being the original Doomguy. But I love it. Had a lot of trouble connecting with Doom 4 simply because it didn't seem to be the Doomguy I have grown so fond of over the decades. I was like "ugh Doomslayer yeah yeah, reimaging, yada yada yawn". When I saw that scene in Eternal that revealed he was the same marine as in 1 and 2 and having him speak for the first time (unnecessary but I personally love the way they did it, elevating the infamous Doom comic from meme to design document and then to gospel. Alot of people say its corny but if you're gonna have Doomguy talk, using those lines was really the only way to do it in a way that wasn't totally cringe despite how cringe some may find the comic) had me literally cheering, I went back and played Doom 4 with a whole new perspective and loved it.

The gameplay is fast and fun and everything from the enemies to the general feel of combat is a love letter to Doom II. I have to play with the Classic skin though, the Doom Slayer armor is cringe.

>What they did in Doom Eternal is a total travesty and honestly a middle finger to their old fans.
No it isn't, official canon is now Doom -> Doom II -> Doom 64 -> Doom 4 -> Doom Eternal

Cope faggot.

Yeah thats an issue I have with the classic Doomguy skin in Eternal. I get they are trying to make it look like the cover but it looks less like uniform that was ripped away as the original artwork intent and more like a queerish belly shirt

I don't mind him being super powered by the Divinity Machine or whatever because being able to tear demons apart is pretty awesome. I don't even mind the new tech/guns. But I can't fucking stand that Praetor armor. He looks like fucking Samus from Metroid. I'll only play Eternal with the classic Doomguy skin, I wish there was one for Doom 4.
