Current Events > Is the Doom Eternal DLC campaign completely standalone?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is there any reason I should download the PS4 version where I have completed main campaign save data, vs the PS5 version where I would be starting completely fresh?

I live in america so it will take 30+ minutes to properly download either one

Im pretty sure its completely standalone.

some cosmetics you can unlock for your main account but thats about it IIRC

Yeah, aside from the cosmetics you unlock it's completely standalone.

This is absurdly hard

Ancient Gods 1 was made "too" difficult and id Software has acknowledged this
Ancient Gods 2 is more balanced and varied

I'm still disappointed they nerfed some of the spawns and demons in the DLC. It's weird because they actually made one of the slayer gates in the first DLC harder, because people complained it was easier than the main DLC or something?

Doesn't it have difficulty settings? Why not just pick a lower one?

It does, though AG1 is a bit over the top. AG1 on "I'm Too Young To Die" is on-par with the base game on "Ultra Violence"

The original DLC plans were scrapped and they basically rushed out both DLCs which used a bunch of unused content and ideas from the base game.

Yikes.

I was so fucking annoyed early in the first mission, you have to fight your way through a room to retrieve the red keycard

took me a bunch of tries on ultra violence, over an hour fighting waves and waves of enemies

beat that, get to the room with the key card, and immediately have to turn around back into the same arena for waves and waves more

like 2+ hours fighting in the same room smh

Damn. The base game was already quite challenging on normal as is.

AG1 on Ultra Violence is pretty much the same as the base game on Nightmare

That's a bit much, the difficulties are generally just a step above the equivalent in the base game.

I'm fairly certain they restored most of the difficulty. They left some parts nerfed though, like the tentacles in the swamp because that was just obnoxious.

All that said, you should probably turn down the difficulty a notch if you've spent two hours at the start of the level lol.

I turned it down from nightmare to ultra violence at the very first encounter because it was insane

maybe I was just rusty, because Ive been doing okay on the second missionhavent gotten stuck more than a few tries on any encounter
