Doom Eternal vs Far Cry 5

No enemy drops any ammo unless you chainsaw them. The total amount of ammo you can carry is extremely low to start and unlike 2016, there is no infinite pistol. Also, unless you have bloodpunch active, melee doesn't kill enemies either even though you have a giant knife on your wrist. You will find yourself dying many a' death because you simply ran out of ammo

We've had the Freemen, the Unabomber, a serial killer cannibal, religious colonies where boys and girls can't sit on the same side of the classroom, animals that can and will eat you, an annual festival for consuming fried bull testicles, an extreme gun fetish, lots of wide open space, and racking up double-digit DUIs is basically our state sport.

I feel like I'm mostly alone in my opinion on Doom Eternal in that it is inferior to 2016 in nearly every way, the story being by far the worst casualty. The subtle story elements of 2016 are now replaced with flashbacks and third-person cutscenes and atrocious writing.

The story is excellent, and many games lose it there. This one delivers. I always like earlier Far Cry games, prior to 4, but they've upped their game significantly in these two with 5 being the pinnacle. I have to say that one thing that makes this standout so much in the console gaming world, is that it's not tied to an internet connection and a continuous feel of trying to sell you something, which I think destroys immersion (along with having to game with strangers on the net)

Doom Eternal however is a different beast altogether. First the good. When it's good and firing on all cylinders, Doom Eternal is an absolute BLAST. In fact, there are moments in this game that outshine even the best parts of its predecessor

Far Cry 5, 6 is coming out in October (co-op & open-world). Need for speed Heat (Gamepass, EA Play).

I thought Doom Eternal was a gorgeous game. I found myself looking at the wall textures more than a few times.

Graphically beautiful: being in a high mountain valley in game felt like being in one in real life, they absolutely nailed the feel and look of the whole Rocky Mountain region. Weapons are excellent and modifiable with a good selection of sights, though the selection is somewhat limited- no Glock analogue. Was able to rig up an AR just like mine in real life, and shoot it on semi-auto, which is a much appreciated option for weapons use in games like this. The non-avoidable kidnappings are annoying, especially when you somehow get captured while wingsuiting 1000 feet above the ground, but they do advance the story, so whatever
