Still, I’ve absorbed a lot of secondhand information about what Doom Eternal is like, as well as how much harder it is compared to the last romp through hell. I haven’t bought Doom Eternal yet because I’d budgeted Nioh 2 and Animal Crossing, and I’m planning on getting it maybe next month or so.
Now full disclosure, I’m talking strictly from the perspective of the shared zeitgeist from browsing social media. But while Animal Crossing has been opening up a surprising discourse of some players who feel inadequate - comparing themselves to people with absolutely insanely designed islands - I’ve noticed a much simpler sentiment being shared across Doom Eternal: that it’s harder than some expected. There’s no mistake that both Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom Eternal have both proven big successes, with both consistently popping up in my social media feed.
