Any1 feel let down by Doom?

This ammo discussion is making me think about general gaming difficulty.
Usually the go to difficulty modifier for a game like this is just adjusting HP values. I think most would agree it is a pretty thoughtless way to make a game harder.

But looking at this ammo deal it seems like people understand that ammo is available but they don't want to take the steps to acquire it.
Is this a case of players not enjoying a forced difficulty mechanic or is it a case of players not enjoying a core element that is implemented well.

To me it is almost like saying 'I don't like that I have to aim at enemies, it would be much easier if they just died for me.'

Graphics were great but it got repetitive quick. Enter area kill everything....rinse repeat. I enjoyed it but GOTY? Not so much

For anyone interested there's a really interesting documentary on Youtube that just went up last week about the development of DOOM (2016). Of particular interest is footage in part 1 of the cancelled "Doom 4" that was being worked on at id between 2008 and 2013 before they scrapped it and started over with DOOM 2016 in its current form. They'd never shown Doom 4 footage before.

People like to complain about anything and everything. Someone will spend 120 hours in a game and still complain about it.

Second this. I enjoyed it a lot and subbed to that channel.

Highly recommend checking it out.

GOTY for me, not had this much fun on a game since MW came out for ps3.

On my 8th play through so far, just really digging everything about it.

Only annoying thing is it take 75GB on my PS4.

Have finally had some time to sit and watch this, was a really good documentary plus was good to see some of that cancelled game.

Nah, Doom was fantastic...the multiplayer was pretty lousy though.

I thought the multiplayer was just as fun if not more fun than the single player.

 

[IamStryker]

Yes but games have evolved in the last 20 years

Like Halo? Enter room/area and kill everything. Like Call of Duty? Enter room/area and kill everything. Like Far Cry? Enter room/area and kill everything.

Cool. I'm interested to hear what others think about it.
