The Looney Toons sound effects just ruin the game for me. Stuff like the cacademons LOUDLY gulping grenades, their eye pop sound, headshots sounding like fucking champagne bottles…
Some people seem to notice none of it, and enjoy the shit out of the game, but for me:
I respect that. But I can also disagree and make fun of it. Why do I need to delve deep into why I disagree with them? Honestly, they never give an in depth reason, other than looney toons.
You don’t need to “prove” or “justify” your disagreeing with him, you just need to question whether it’s worth responding to it with a non-comment (eg an emoji) and/or a downvote. Traditionally, downvotes are best used not as a button for disagreeing, but whether people respectfully contribute to discussion. I’d say a well-worded post that brings up an interesting point of debate, even if you disagree as a matter of opinion with their conclusion, is worth upvoting. If you don’t have anything to add, you don’t have to comment.
All this would matter more for discussing, say, politics, than whether a game was good, so it’s just a general tip of mine.
But no you don’t. You acted with anything BUT respect for a fellow person.
And no you don’t again. Disagreement is not a licence to belittle.
Since when does disagreeing with someone mean you “get to” make fun of them?
I have valid reasons for why the game doesn’t jell with me, and I have no problem with other people enjoying it. I personally can’t. Due to various changes in tone, writing, SFX, and level design, compared to Doom 2016. Overall, the changes result in a game that forces me out of my immersion every few seconds. It makes it unplayable for me.
I didn’t exactly set out to explain my reasons in response to you, because I was more concerned with telling you off for responding like a dick.
Games are an art form, and not every game can be enjoyed by every person, or for the same reasons. The reasons I enjoyed 2016, aren’t there in Eternal. Period.
That doesn’t mean there can’t be more of the stuff you enjoyed, making it an upgrade.
Both our experiences can make sense. Eternal is an upgrade in every way you care about, but that doesn’t make it an upgrade in every way conceivable.
Third person cutscenes aren’t objectively better than first person ones. Looney Toons sound effects aren’t objectively better than brutal meat noises. Turning up the comedic self-awareness of the writing isn’t objectively better than a ridiculous story that’s funny because internally takes itself completely seriously.
Lastly.
Fuck you for belittling me with the sole excuse of not understanding why I don’t like Doom Eternal. Then pulling an “I respect it”. No, asshole, you shat all over me.
I didn’t set out to change your opinion, but to express mine. “LOL, ur opinion makes no sense” is literally just an insult, because it doesn’t need to make sense to anyone except me.
Now, if I held this opinion without having ever played Eternal myself, then you’d have grounds to dismiss my experience. Because I wouldn’t have an experience.
You won’t always be picking on someone with enough skin to not only shrug off bullshit, but deliberately take on more to try and improve the behaviour of others.
Buddy. Do I not get to have an opinion?

I want brutality. Not slapstick.
Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one
Man, I disagree with him, but he’s giving his review politely and descriptively . That’s already a high bar for the internet.

Of course you get to disagree 🤣
But no you don’t. You acted with anything BUT respect for a fellow person.

Thanks grok
You’re genuinely welcome.
But do better.

Deep.
Does that explain why you’re trying to shove the shit from yours up mine by suggesting mine makes no sense, or is worth laughing at?
