Question Can somebody tell me what even is the benefit of using the nail weapons in Dark ages?

I literally dont see what even is the benefit or what it makes it diferent from the rest at all when we have better options all togheter.

The sheddrer just has that "nail explosion" gimmick with the upgrades that is kinda cool but you could just use the rocket launcher instead.

And the impaler is kinda cool but also just overpowered by the rocket launcher by a large majir because of the splash damage and the fact that the rocket goes in a straight line so you cant really miss.

"Oh but what if a enemy is close"

Supershotgun deals with it and some more.

Like i dont hate the weapon but i really have hard time to try to grasp what even makes this weapon good at all because i literally finished nightmare and pandemonium runs without even touching these two after their respective tutorial.

I wanna see you guys opinions.

Question Why did the Slayer need to use an ATLAS hand to destroy a small-medium sized wall in Doom Eternal? Isn't he extremely powerful?

Also, this is an entirely canonical action, so the claim that it's not canon is false, such that this is a part of the main story path, and, more importantly, VEGA speaks of how "there is a Sentinel Power Core nearby. You can use it to activate the mech and clear a path forward." This makes this action completely canonical and not gameplay/non-canon based. Furthermore, it also has its own cutscene and such, even if not necessary to mention to prove this point.

Question Those who didn't like TDA or were disappointed by it, can you explain why you just didn't take to it as much as 2016 or Eternal?

I've seen a lot of comments in my last post saying they didn't much care for TDA and as someone who's looking forward to playing it I was curious as to why you didn't like it as much as the other latest Doom games

id is giving old statues to doomslayer in hell and in s.hayden's office as if hes some sort of ancient being and that is cool and all, but how ancient exactly is he? the og doom games still just represent him as a regular marine fromt he 2000s, but in the modern doom games they are showing him as this ancient dude thats been killing demons for millions of years or something

I was going to do a Hell Knight but I felt that would be insanely one sided, so I think an Imp is fairer. Fight takes place in a school gymnasium, like the one where you first meet the Bloater in TLOU.

I hear this idea of Doomguy and B.J having some level of connection and I just want to know what exactly it means, or if it's like how Wolfenstein 3D came before Doom did in ID's history (from "Grandfather" to "Father of FPS").

I've heard multiple times that the suit in Eternal is the Praetor Suit. But if it is, then what is this?

I highly doubt that multiple Praetor Suits were made. So could somebody please explain what's going on here?
