Happy Tuesday morning! Got a new LGR episode going live riiiiight about now.

Press embargoes though. I had to wait until this very minute to share the video, even though it's been ready to go for about a day now. Eh, so it goes.

That being said though: DOOM ETERNAL! RIP and TEAR!!

Been waiting on this thing for going on four years now, and wow, what a wild game it turned out to be. As a lifelong id Software and Doom franchise fan this has been an absolute treat to dive into. So I hope  this pre-release review brings about some personal satisfaction and maybe answers the questions you may have about it.

And if not, lemme know in the comments! I'm happy to answer things at this point. Had to avoid spoilers in the review of course, but as far as I'm concerned it's now an information free-for-all.

Anyway yeah, this is all I've been working on this for the past week and the time has passed by in a blink in retrospect. How odd. I'm now finally able to get back to my sidelined projects, meaning that some more old school LGR Things are incoming soon so stay tuned!

LGR - Doom Eternal Review

Yesss, it's DOOM Eternal! Taking a look at the improvements over Doom 2016, how it's inspired by the classic games, what kind of demonic nonsense ensues, and all kinds of eternally relevant stuff. RIP AND TEAR. Review code was provided by the publisher.

It's awesome that Bethesda has managed to bring back two FPS franchises back from the dead (Wolfenstein and Doom). Now they only need to grab the rights to Duke Nukem and we'll have a proper follow-up :)

How long was the campaign Clint? and how did it differ from Doom 2016?

Equally excited to see the return of both Doom and "Practice MODE"

Well, I'm fucking pumped.

DOOM 2016 was not 4 years ago... No way, it only just came out D: Super stoked for Friday! PS: Any plans to review Planet Zoo?

I'd been a bit worried on finding out how the resupply triangle thing worked, but glad to hear no complaints about that - and that the armor refills don't require actually getting the kill with fire. Though, I wonder - if you torch an enemy, then either do a glory kill or chainsaw kill, do you get health or ammo pickups in addition to the armor?

No. You are eternal sir.

It was a great video :) I am however skeptical, and it doesn't look so appealing to me. I had an open mind when I was young, now it's not sadly. I doesn't feel like doom to me from watching the video. It's so crazy and cartoony. I do like the part with the classic doom song and sound effects, and the man cave room.

I'm amused everytime DOOM's "plot" is mentioned. That really passed me by growing up with linuxdoom and wads of questionable origin. Great review. :)

I was unsure about Eternal but you made me buy it. Thanks for the awesome review.

I see that the Classic Doom gun position was in part of your review. Is that an option in the option menu or just for a certain part of the game? I played through Doom 2016 with that mode enabled and found it a lot more enjoyable for some reason

Wowww I love how the art looks, super over the top and surreal. That's what disappointed me about DOOM 2016, I found it a bit too "grimdark" and I missed the more saturated colors of the original. Great review, this game looks like an absolute blast

Joon Choi

Dooooooooooooooooom!

LazyGameReviews

Yep, it's still an option you can choose, along with the classic sounds shown during that section!

LazyGameReviews

Yep, that's how it works! Combine your methods of killing demons, get different items. Chainsaw+fire gives ammo and armor, Doomblade+fire gives health and armor.

LazyGameReviews

18 hours for me, and it was a lot more enjoyable to me. All my thoughts on it are in the video though :)

LazyGameReviews

Man I would love to see what Id or Machinegames could do with Duke. Shame it's up to Gearbox, heh. There's an amusing related easter egg in the Doomguy's mancave actually. A book by Dork Norkem 😁

LazyGameReviews

Totally, the art and level design is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for in 2016. So much twisted imagery!

Awesome, thanks Clint, I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, every time I try too my toddler demands I put on the 8-bit guy🤣🤣 apparently he really like watching David fix and play keyboards Lol.....

I've preordered the collectors' edition that comes with the Doom Guy helmet, picking it up Friday afternoon. I was excited already, from what I got to see at PAX last year, but hoo boy, your review made me GET PSYCHED.

LazyGameReviews

Aw man, I want one of those! Everywhere has been sold out anytime I've checked. Hopefully they make more of them eventually.
