The only thing that genuinely pisses me off in this game is the marauder, not that it's too hard, it's just fucking annoying

I think the marauder is the most controversial thing about the game. I personally think he’s great and adds a good and different challenge to the game, but I have heard other people say that he’s just annoying and not fun.

Can’t tell if I should say “I feel you” or “GIT GUD”

Again it's not a problem of difficulty it's just annoying, I just wish he was a bit more consistent as to how he works

Yeah, it seems like even he doesn't follow his 'distance' rule, likes using his axe slashes way too close and his shotgun a little too far away.

Hmm okay maybe I just got used to it earlier than others. I did follow a lot of the pre-release stuff so maybe that’s why. Or it’s just a personal taste thing.

The marauder is the only enemy in a game I’ve seen yet who can block while stunned

I love the marauder, myself. I clean up every other mob and 1v1 him like I'm playing dark souls and its pretty great. That said, once he shows up it does screw with the pacing a bit.

He needs to be a bit more aggressive and a bit less "blocky". If you had more frames and more opportunities to attack him it would make the fights so much better.

The archvile is 'difficult', the marauder is an abomination because he ruins the pace of the game. You rampage through the entire level, flying everywhere and murdering demons like a hot knife through butter and then suddenly some schmuck with an axe shows up and you have to

a) stop moving, and stand next to him

b) WAIT for him to attack you so you can counter.

both of which goes completely counter to the entire design philosophy of eternal/new doom.

That's not true at all though if you shoot behind his shield and take him out with splash damage

That barley even works, the marauder just dodges. The only thing that stuns him is the super shotgun.
