Not that guy, ive Never Played it
- No access to gaming rig
- No access to a console

But from what ive seen in some playthrough clips its shit for a couple reasons - firstly as Doomguy you're already ready for the demon invasion and you yourself are kinda like a borderline demon with a special demonic suit of armor. In terms of a game being like porn when it comes to storyline this is tantamount to the plot in an interracial porn clip.

Second:
Monsters drop items all over the damn place like a fucking pinata. Health and armor or experience points shit like 2 or 3 percent at a time.

As a player of games I want Survival Horror, straining resources and having to make my items count. Not only does this run counter to what I want as a consumer its Just Plain Silly and even less realistic than the demonic invasion is
> if you want to reward the player just vampirically give the player those little item buffs automatically, dont spew little health icons all over the floor
> even Blood did this better by having a bleeding heart dropped on the floor as a +20 medikit

No actually I would like Doom without the Medikits at all. Just give me Soulspheres, Megaspheres, and Berserk Packs.


Third:
I saw a limited amount of the Cyberdemon battle and from what someone posted about the Revenant my mental image of what it does has kinda been ruined.

According to the Wiki the Revenant jumps in the air with a jetpack then fires Actual Rockets down on your position. However if its firing a stream of rockets then these are like weak ass devastator rockets from duke.

I was expecting FULL Damage player rocket launcher rockets that will blast you to pieces if you're too close.

Same with the Cyberdemon battle. Its a wear-you-down kind of boss battle. As opposed to Sudden Death boss battle.

The design of the Cyberdemon is also shit too, he looks thick and bulky but not the alpha-male kind of Stronk that he had in the original games.
