That's exactly the stuff I wanted to enjoy. I really wanted to like the game. I adore 2016 as a perfect package where every component works in concert.

But the punchline, punchline, punchline stuff that the game keeps shoving in your face, kept taking me out of it.

In actual gameplay, I got constantly immersion broken by every headshot, and every other glory kill that had some element of slapstick. It felt like a dude next to me at the movies who kept elbowing me to see if I get every joke.

I really appreciated the humour in 2016, like just the right amount of salt to make a steak perfect.

Eternal is like a pile of just salt, with some steak buried in there somewhere. I still want the steak, but it's kinda ruined.
