Ancient Gods aka Every Enemy Encounter is a Slayer Gate

Love how even in the apocalypse, enthusiastic interns are doing all the heavy lifting for the company

Hugo Martin just namedropped you on his doom eternal live stream! he said you being a bad ass is the reason why Australia was untouched by the demonic invasion lol

“Just the thought of a buffed, possessed marauder leaves me in a cold sweat.” *Marty’s smiling intensifies*

Gman: *complains about fog and visibility in the DLC* Hugo: *laughs in Super Gore Nest Master Level*

Little does he know, they actually patched in a possessed marauder for the last slayer gate

"Just imagine a buffed possessed Marauder in Part II" oh you poor poor poor soul, they added a Possessed Marauder in one of the Slayer gates and when he's gone, another one will spawn for the spirit to possess him

This DLC is like my ex-girlfriend, sadistic and unforgiving.

Internguy: Says words words and more words Doomguy: Ha ha, I like you...I'm going to go shoot stuff now.

I can't be the only one who completely forgot about the crucible, i didn't even notice it wasn't a part of the dlc, only time I used that thing was when you get it and during the icon of sin boss fight

Same with me gman, the end got spoiled to me aswell by someone called midnight. Literally the same day or a day after the DLC came out, he posted a video which thumbnail had the ending on it. Those people should be put in a room with slayer whilst wearing an imp costume.

"-And that ending, which I actually had ruined for me because of one very stupid youtuber who should've known better." Why do I feel like I both do and don't know who he's referring to.

Complains about the fog, implying he cant beat doom with his eyes closed

“Possessed arachnotron is out there, it can’t be BARGAINED WITH” first listen through I heard “Barbequed” and didn’t even question it :p

“Very stupid youtuber.” He’s talking about Midnight

Ah, a fellow rune-scarred ballista wielder.

I'm glad they learned their lesson from doom 2016 and gave us a story expansion instead of a buncha multiplayer maps -nobody- not many people asked for

Alright, ready for launch, Gman.

"Stupid youtuber" lemme guess, midnight

I can definitely see the issues with the "kick in the dick" challenges, but I'm the type that *lives for the challenge* outside of some janky arenas and the fact you cant punch a shark, this DLC is exactly what I wanted

Not related to the review, but you're one of the few who delivers their sponsored sections sounding genuinely interested in what they're advertising.

15:09 spotted that Terminator reference... but yeah, whoever came up with the fog parts of Blood Swamps clearly has to be a masochist. That was terrible, especially with the possessed Arachnotron shooting at you nonstop. I thought that was hard... until the double Tyrants 😖

Since the last update (Super gore nest master level) they secretly rework the slayer gate in the 3rd level of the DLC and now possessed marauder is in the last wave, so feel free to relaunch and discover the fight against this big boy you will not be disapointed.

Please stop bullying me for playing on UV :(

Can't wait for the "git gud" crowd to stroll along and tell you you're wrong for being frustrated at things that are understandably just flat out unfair in an unfun way.

The environments are so damn pretty, I was amazed

"Near the end of the level, you have to take on two Marauders at once" I literally said "child's play" out loud. Master Level Super Gore Nest in Nightmare does things to you.

"Took your time, huh?" Gman: Saved the best for the last.

I enjoyed this expansion despite the fact that I still don’t have my goddamn Makyr skin on the PS4. Goddamnit I.D

On God after finishing the dlc in one sitting I felt like my entire nervous system needed a break I was so drained by the end I loved it

I think you got better at doom eternal. You definitely improved.

the difficulty gatekeeping is just silly.

I just beat eternal on Saturday. every gunfight was a boss fight

0:56 *cough* Midnight *cough*

That home alone part never gets old And spoiler ahead The new update made the last level slayer gate contain a possessed marauder without telling us cus we were bitching about the slayer gate being too easy

Nice review man, can't wait for the next part.

Didn't even mention Andrew haulshault n David's music, shake my smh

Thank you for your honesty. As someone who beat Eternal on "I'm too young to die", this isn't going to be for me 😅

Lol,”you have to go all Peter Venkman” cracked me up ! Good one 😂

Every muscle tenses up in my body playing Doom Eternal. I get what you mean by "reconnecting with my physical self."

15:11 gotta love this terminator reference

Oh boy that part with carcasses tyrants and a doom hunter doesn't seem so bad after playing the super gore nest master level

That fog area with the possessed arachnotron is actually pretty easy if you Meathook jump out of the fog to an upper area. From there just snipe them till they die.

Yet another quality review, GmanLives strikes yet again.

"Come with me if you want to live!"

This dlc is the Dark Souls 2 of Doom. Add more enemies. Make it harder to move around environments/cram players into tight spaces. It's just cheap artificial difficulty most of the time.

"These areas in the Blood Swamps are crappy level design and are just hard for the sake of being hard." Me eating Master Levels for breakfast: "Ah, I see you're new here."

i've been waiting for this

Therapist: possessed arachnitron doesn't exist, it can't hurt you. Possessed arachnitron:

Doom then:fight Demons on a base on Mars Doom now:travel to other dimensions into other civilization and an SCP-esc organization on a post-apocalyptic Earth to kill the Devil who was you the whole time

tnx for not spoiling the game cuz i know a lot of youtubers show them so big respect for you

ive been playing for hours on ultra violence and im still on the first level haha. This DLC is brutal, but honestly would you want it another way?

0:55 I wonder who

Nice Terminatior reference, not to mention wow bladestorm skill. I love your videos man. And I played first doom I when I was a little kid in 1993. Now I play doom again and it is like a nightmare come true.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that some of these sections lasted too long. And like you said once I got it done I wasn't happy more so "finally its over!". But only for those few sections the majority of the DLC is nice. Also some advice against the turrets. Just use the ballista with the attachment that uses the wide charge up shot, charge it to level two or three and let it got. It'll one tap the turrets.

Personally, I would disagree about the fog sections from the blood swamps since it encourages you to be more careful about your surroundings and maybe it is only just me, but I didn't really even find it to be difficult either since you could see enemy shields and projectiles flashing which gives away their position. I thought that it was a cool idea that there's a fog that's messing with your view with only either projectiles as source of visibility or by closing the distance because it forces you to adapt for the current situation. I am not saying that it should be a common thing however, I believe that it can be done at least once in two levels or something because Slayer forbid that there would also be a buff totem nearby while this is happening which is where I could see your point. I totally agree about the encounter on the holt before the final boss though, Its really a pain in the ass especially if your own mouse has the double-click curse at the right mouse button making the spirits even more of a pain in the dong to kill before they possess the doom hunter and annihilate your soul. Just my opinion though, thanks for reading anyways if anyone even reads this.

For some reason, the Trial of Maligog was really hard for me. I don’t know how it was a cakewalk for you

bro thats crazy i just started the dlc yesterday, this review's perfect!

That possessed tyrant sequence at the end only killed me twice. If you stay on the bridge and bottleneck them towards you, it's not too hard to get a bunch of hits on them.

I really enjoyed it. But I did find it a bit of an unforgiving torture just for the sake of it. It’s really not for the casual gamer IMO. Great review Gman

Yeah this DLC was brutal, like times 10 or so. A lot of things caught me off guard and that ending, my God, that ending. I won't say anything but when you put the pieces together and realize that it all makes sense, it makes it all the more mind blowing. Now we wait for part two, calmly, recovering, till the time comes once more......TO RIP AND TEAR!!!

"not being able to see what is attacking me is where the difficulty comes from, not from the enemies out maneuvering me or outsmarting me, but just the fact that I quite literally cannot see them". Dude I thought you loved Doom 3

GMan explains his experience playing games so we'll! He literally says what we are thinking & you have to respect it! Great Work as usual! Keep it up my Brother!!!!

Can’t believe he didn’t talk about the new composers

I wish more devs understood the difference between "hard for the sake of fun" and "hard for the sake of misery."

I agree with rain in levels. We need more of them. Also appreciate the Terminator reference.

great review , althoygh i finished the dlc but it is fun to watch your reviews , keep up

This guy may be a Doom fan. I'm not sure...

Man, I remember the fog swamp. I had to kill a possessed doom hunter in there.vthatbwaa so fucking difficult lol

You are amazing, sir! Even your *_ad_* was hilarious! If I had any money, *_I_* would buy the SimpliSafe security system.

Absolute legendary game

Possessed demons dont actually have double health nor do they deal extra damage. The main difference is that they are faster and have specifc resistances to certain weapons (mainly ballista lol)

I really love the doom eternal and the dlc, i played the basegame first on UV and then nightmare and holy shit did i get my ass beat in the DLC with nightmare, eventually soldiering through it, i enjoyed every bit of it, i feel like a giant asshole douche for saying this but DOOM Eternal and the DLC's are the dark souls of FPS, dialed to 11.

Wow friend.. YOU ARE REALLY GOOD PLAYING THIS!

Absolutely loved the Terminator quote there. Well said, Gman. Well said.

The Ancient Gods makes Doom Eternal look like Doom 3 in terms of pacing.

While being wellcrafted we should be worried about the escalation of system game design bloat in DOOM.

Never have I been so early to a GmanLives video. I'm not even sitting on the toilet yet, but already watching on the way there. What a time to be alive.

You are the king of reviewers

11:33 yeah unless you’re DSP!

"Ok guys, we promised a DLC, so what are we gonna do..." *Sees someone in a cubicle playing Plutonia* "I see..."

Talking about "Rain in Vidya", seeing the rain on your visor for the first time after landing on Talon IV still looks fucking amazing even today. Metroid Prime is a great looking game.

I feel the fog section with the possessed arachnotron is fair because there are ways to avoid the fog by jumping onto the cliff above the area, then you can stay in the air and shoot down at the spectres and doom hunter.

Yeah, I think I know the youtuber who ruined the ending, as he has ruined mine too. I blocked his channel so I might at least not get spoilers on the part 2.

I asked him if he would be reviewing it, and he was like maybe, so you're welcome guys..

The third slayer gate is the most annoying thing ever made, you are fighting a possessed marauder in the "third wave" let's cal it, being blocked constantly by 3 energy walls at any given time and a minimum of 10 fodder demons constantly trying to give you a love tap... That whole slayer gate is the work of the ACTUAL devil. And to get to that point, you have to fight off 3 archviles, then 2 hunters and all that in a super small arena where you almost can't even dodge some attacks. I give my respect to those who beat it in ultra-nightmare.

I love when it rains in game as well.

Good review but I don’t agree with your opinion on the level design. I think that’s more of your own personal opinion. To me, I think the game is tryna make you adapt to new gameplay because the gameplay changes when the environments change, as you know. But fair enough.

Completed D:E on Nightmare but can't do it on Ancient Gods.

That encounter with the possessed Tyrants kicked my ass the first time I played through it on UN. On my nightmare run I beat it the first time through. You just gotta use the pillars as cover to take out the non possessed tyrant and the fodder, and save your blood punches so you can delete the Doom Hunter when he shows up. This DLC felt a lot better after playing through the base campaign; jumping into it cold after not playing DE for a few months was not a pleasant or fun experience imo.

You and Worth a buy are the only reviewers left I trust! Keep doing what you're doing mate!

Spot on about everything here mate. Kinda wish we got to rip the intern in half though.

It's really interesting to see each person's different experience. Love your videos and dropped you a like, but I would hesitate to say a part is hard because you had trouble with it. For example I had it backwards from you. I thought the possessed tyrant part at the end was cake; I barely remembered it. But I died more times in the boss fight than in the entire DLC. We definitely had the same experience with the possessed arachie in the fog though... 🤮

Having a spirit posses a Doom hunter in the blood swamps on accident will be one of my favorite gaming moments this year bc of the “oh shit” factor

Dang, just started a new Nightmare run. Haven’t played Doom Eternal since launch, but I’m stoked to play through the campaign again and then launch right into the (newly discounted) DLCs. Wish me luck! Doom Eternal is FPS perfection.

1:01 lemme guess, it was that youtuber who literally titled it what the reveal was and had a screenshot of the ending? Yeah, he ruined it for me too. 😡

"You're not allowed to say anything about the game unless you play nightmare." Even as someone who plays only on nightmare, that sounds very authoritarian. Taking inspiration from the Chinese, I see.

Me: *kills a cyberdemon* Id: heres four more (: Me Heres a bfg blast :) Id: here is a boss with five different fucking phases (:

Wholesome grins from that intern and dog patting make 2020 worth it
