DOOM Eternal

because I need to order one still too.

And then finally my Doom Eternal for Xbox One.

Oh, wow.

That's delayed.

Yeah, because they wouldn't send one without the other.

So I was like, okay.

Doom Eternal was like well over a year ago.

Just a little bit.

It's like, okay, I'm supposed to focus on the big guy.

But the problem is, I think, Dark, the best example, you know Doom Eternal, how they have, like, the little imps and the zombies all around, and they're, like, the fodder enemies.

And the reason they're there is because you do that to, like, get health, get ammo, all this stuff.

There is a reason why they exist, and they are not annoying.

got um so that was interesting but we've got one here from opportunity fishing who who says question for next podcast Do people who get paid to play games, even though that's debasable, do people who get paid to play games have backlogs like us regular Joes? Yes.

For example, this person has Control, Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal, Space Marine 2, and other games in their Steam library that they haven't actually played yet.

And if we do have a backlog...

Which game from the backlog are we hoping to tackle next?

this stuff in here, and then the ability to kind of add apps and games actually to this list and then customize them individually.

So for example, the game I'm going to run in a moment is Doom Eternal, which is probably four or five years old at this point, but as a modern game is really, really nice looking, et cetera.

So it's set to be on.

This is the default setting for this.

So what I had done beforehand was go into the game and configure it for a relatively low resolution.

I also did some benchmarking with just frames per second just to see what it was like.

You know, on this computer, Doom Eternal at normal res, pretty high quality graphics across the board, gets tremendous frame rates.

But I went in and I just changed it to a lower resolution just to kind of see what this would look like.

They started out when they were still manageable, but they just get really hard, and he just moves so poorly, and it's just...

Yeah, like, that's when it really started to showcase, like, how, while that was neat that he could do that, like, I wish that maybe for, I wish that they did something kind of like how Doom Eternal did, where it was, like, once you clear a room, like, he maybe speeds up, or, like, you can make it so he can, like, actually climb and stuff, maybe, like, you disable it during combat for some reason, like, But yeah, it really hindered the experience when you move so clunky and slow when you're just trying to like explore and discover things in already an environment that's not necessarily the most interesting to do that in to begin with.

So yeah, that was my take.

It encourages a lot of backtracking, and that's not very much fun.

Let's make it fun.

Make Doom Eternal, but with dinosaurs.

Yeah.

Oh, and cyborgs.
