Halo Infinite or DOOM Eternal - which is the better game?

Doom Eternal for sure, It launched as a full experience with everything fans wanted.

Infinite is good at it's core, but it's bare bones on release and gamers need to stop putting up with unfinished releases

Halo and as usual it's not even close.

TC, I hope your next thread is; TES or Unfarted, which is better. ;o

G'head lol :P

Not even the same genre bro, not even the same genre.

Never stopped you in the past. ;o

I’ve not finished Halo Infinite yet, but Halo is a better game. The action in Doom Eternal is sublime, truly great but is lacking in all other aspects.

Halo is a far more complete package with various styles of play, close up and distant combat, land and air vehicles, proper sniping and a proper story.

I've not played Eternal. I need to check it out. But Infinite is smooth, polished and a lot of fun.

Easily Halo Infinite. Even though it almost ran into the same annoyance as Doom Eternal.

right I forgot your trash gaming tastes. The fact that you hate on the re series, but hype up the tlou2. Of course you would hate on BC2, because you literally have no taste. I played through and beat that games campaign 4 times. I enjoyed it too, otherwise I wouldn't have beaten it 4 times lol. I didn't touch the multiplayer portion either...I don't play fps games online on the pc, its not my thing. Battlefield 3 campaign was also decent enough, but a backslide compared to bc2. I didn't even beat battlefield 4 campaign yet.

also when did I ever say halo had a good story? I said it a bunch of times, nobody really understands what the heck its about. I even went over the gamespot feature article about halos story, and I left confused.

Halo is infinitely better.

Halo scored better, hater.

Plus, judging by your complaints, I don't think you have even played Halo Infinite and are quite biased against it.

Looks like lems were serverly triggered by facts, but they're still voting for an unfinished game🤣

@x_hedon: Very appropriate gif, very appropriate indeed. 😅

IDK about "unfinished", but it sure is funny to watch someone bash a game that they have never played...

Like playing it will make any difference. Will the garbo story change because i have played the game? Will they add coop because i am playing the game? Will they discover something called Shadows to make the game less washed out because i am playing the game? This is public knowledge, you don't have to play the game to know what the game is failing at. You really don't want me to play the game because i'll take a bunch of pictures of the assets used, and expose its incredibly ugly visuals.

Definitely DOOM Eternal. I think Halo Infinite as a whole is ok. I have some fun with its multiplayer, but the story mode is very boring to me. I couldn't even care to do too much of the conquering of bases once I got to that point before I deleted it from Gamepass.

Whereas Eternal pretty much rocks all the way through. Story is stupid/silly, but the gameplay keeps you on your toes and all the banging music and moving around dodging shit and hookshotting to demons and blasting them in the face with my super shotgun. So much fun!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

You wouldn't make weak comments like "the grapple hook doesn't add anything to the game", or the constant b*tching about the visuals.

You are making comments out of ignorance, and making yourself look worse every day.

So you’ve not played it then?

This is why Conan n I dunk on you souls dorks, yah play a real video game with more than 2 mechanics and yah can't deal. Absolute scrubs.

Outside of the beta, no.

@hardwenzen: What beta? You mean the mp beta? Lol….. yup, go ahead and judge a single player game on an mp beta.

You should. It’s fun as hell.

Of course i will. I haven't watched any reviews because of that. But i can't do so before i find a gpu for my pc, and its impossible to buy in Canada.

@hardwenzen: You haven’t played the game and you haven’t watched any reviews.

Remind me again…what is all the hate based on?

Because we're in 2021, and information is everywhere. Not sure where you were going with this one.

I really need to play the game to see how ugly the assets are and how washed out the game is🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️I also need to play the game for at least 50 hours to criticize its childish dialogue.

You're trying way to hard to discredit my criticism, knowing damn well that everything i am saying is true, and only fanboy goggles will help you ignore the issues.

@hardwenzen: Ok….I’ll bite. Where did you get information from that made you hate the game so much? Honestly, I haven’t seen a negative score, nor any review slating the visuals anything near as much as you do - without even playing the game.

Halo looks like Halo. This is the best looking halo yet - and that’s to be expected. Still, Halo was about gameplay - not graphical details.

I mean….post what you want, but when people are playing - and enjoying - the game, it just makes you look weirder when they know you haven’t played the game, nor read any reviews and you’re hung up on things like sparks…..and moaning about shadows, when there are shadows.

Bizarre.

Oh nooooooo! i am gonna stop criticizing what i dislike seeing and hearing because it makes me look weird. Lets see how i care🤦‍♂️

@hardwenzen: Not much I guess, but then what’s the point of posting here if you don’t want to talk…kinda asked you a question there bud.

Infinite feels like a game that began development about 15 years ago, got canned, and then released in 2021 for some unknown reason.

A waste of a boombox.

It was a cheap RCA purchased from Walmart. I actually tried to sell it after receiving it in my mouth, but nobody wants to buy it.

Well it hit you, thus the value plummeted. 😎

Do you want to buy it? $7. Please let me know.

@hardwenzen: I am good. I can use that money to fund the Elden Ring Visual Improvement Project, also known as ER-VIP. 😊

Don't bother spending a cent for the Visual Imprevement Project. Fromsoft have never heard of good visuals, they don't know what it means. Instead, i would suggest you to invest in Ubisoft NFT's.

@hardwenzen: 😂

Looks like the people have spoken. Sorry,@ghosts4ever

Doom Eternal doesn't understand why people ever liked Doom in the first place.

This is Doom: me big guy with guns, will kill stuff just over there, and there.

Doom Eternal: let's throw in a few gimmicks to be fake modern and totally destroy what people liked about Doom. Let's f*** about with the ammo types too and make it really boring and annoying for people who just want to shoot stuff in the face.

Halo Infinite at least knows what it's always been good at. No surprises, no major innovations (come on Lems tell me Halo Infinite invented grapple hook lolz) and it at least has some kind of explanation for why you're doing what you do.

Doom Eternal is pretty much the end of Doom. I don't see how they can go back to basics after this since they have totally f***** the basics up i.e. what we all loved about Doom in the first place.

Ghost will still pretend to love it even if the next Doom has water pistols instead of guns and you have to do important paperboy delivery missions in between squirting water at stuff but I like to think the rest of us have higher standards.

@blueinheaven: Doom Eternal was major chore for me and I have no interest if the sequel follows the same formula.

Halo Infinite needed the grapple hook for it was a game changer for Halo.

I don't really care about the grapple hook to be honest I haven't had time to look too much into Halo Infinite yet but it's still Halo to me from what I've played so far and that's enough information for me to know I will like it.

Doom Eternal, I had the same problems just couldn't rouse up any enthusiasm for it I dropped it after a couple of hours. It's basically Doom's version of Halo 5, completely missing the point of why people like the other games.

Infinite feels like Halo to me and that's all I really wanted.

@blueinheaven: So legit gameplay gets tossed at you and you get scared and run...noted.

@vfighter: meh I beat the main campaign and feel similar.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good game..

But I'm not a fan of glory hole kills. This new mechanic is ingrained now where other mechanics are built around it. It feels off for me. I love the shooting in the game and the movement and the art style. But the glory kill rotation mixed in with the new ways to get armor and health don't feel like traditional doom or arena shooters I grew up with.

Having demons glow orange to then walk up press one button to then watch an animation of you rip them up while waiting on health to come out... Mehhh

@x_hedon: finally, you shut him up...no wait he's still going on and on.

Calm down, i didn't go anywhere. Just camping in a bush waiting for an opportunity to pounce on a sheep or a lemming.

both games are amazing but i prefer halo infinite

@jg4xchamp: Who said it was difficult? I said the game was bad (which it is), not that it was hard. I eat scrubs like you for breakfast.

But simple minds like yours are impressed with the doing the same basic shit over and over again. its fun ripping someone in half for about 20 minutes.

@Litchie: I enjoy FPS games and I should enjoy Doom Eternal. However I don't. its been 4 weeks now and I still only have 2 hours played. It's a chore to play the game. I play on the difficulty that is below Ultra Nightmare.

Doom just gets extremely stale very quickly.

it feels exactly the same as Doom 2016 which just feels like you're doing the same encounters again and again. I completed that game in about 16 hours on second highest difficulty but I had to break it into 30-45 minute sessions to not get bored of constantly doing the same thing.

It feels like a Zombies/horde mode.

The music is excellent and graphics even on PS5 is great. I guess the main selling point of Doom Eternal is having an RTX 3090 and playing it in 4K/120+ fps with fully ray-traced Ultra graphics.

Gotcha. Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of the arena gameplay either. As I said, it's like an FPS version of hack'n'slash, a genre I don't really enjoy. In the older DOOMs, you were adventuring more, solving puzzles, finding secrets and jumpscares and shit. This takes a backseat in the newer DOOMs where they're more interested in throwing hundreds of demons in your face in closed arenas all the time. One of my complaints with 2016 and Eternal.

I also think there's too much crap in them. Don't like that you have so many upgrades for your weapons and shit. It makes replaying the games a chore, when you have to go get the same secrets and shit to get upgrade points for your equipment. It's rather lame, and doesn't feel like DOOM.

Also don't like the amount of story it has, when the story sucks so much balls.

That said, still love the games and find them great fun. They're just not the DOOMs I personally wanted them to be.

Try Manscape 3.0.

Legit gameplay WTF are you even talking about? lol. Doom 2016 had legit gameplay. Eternal makes changes just for the sake of saying 'look it's definitely different now' and it's all stuff that's ripped off from a dozen FPS games over the last few years.

Just about every game I play is infinitely more complex in every way imaginable (Doom is an FPS I'm wondering now if you've even played it) so what is it you think I'm scared of? Nothing to be scared of apart from just getting bored. I'm not saying Eternal is a bad game it's just pretty average compared to the 2016 version and it just doesn't need all the new mechanics (IMO) and Infinite is just a far better bet if you want to play a good FPS.

going back to 2016 after Eternal is not feel right and although 2016 done atmosphere better. Eternal done gameplay loop better. its more challenging, more faster with dash, more demons at same time. more fun.

and LOL infinite being better FPS. its incredibly slow paced, having same avg gunplay of 20 year old Halo, but now ith ubisoft like open world. its not better FPS. not in any shape or form.

Eternal annihilate Infinite.

Thank God you disagree with me, I'd feel a right idiot if we shared an opinion on anything.

2016 was a Doom game. Eternal is a 'me too' FPS that copies other games in the genre hoping to freshen things up when it never needed it. Of course you will say you loved it, it's one of only three franchises that you've ever played. If they put a mini golf game on every level in Doom and changed the guns to tennis racquets you'd applaud the innovation that's why you're a laughing stock on here.

Infinite is not incredibly slow paced, yes it has FPS gunplay just like Doom so Eternal is now average in your opinion? Oh and it does not have a Ubisoft style open world either. Right there I have proved you haven't even played Infinite and probably never will.

Go back to Metro Exodus and enjoy fake Russian accents, average gunplay, dreadful dialogue and story and an incredibly boring open world. The rest of us have much, much better games to play.
