Of course during today's level 1 he has to have that fake doom fan take of new doom sucks and how it has nothing to do with old doom...
He's unsufferable, I refuse to think he ever played any old doom back in the days, even huge doom fans love it.
It's really him being a contrarian again...
I will agree that New Doom is very different than "og Doom" since it's based off the Brutal Doom mod, but at this point "og Doom" means very little. For example, we had the 2000s Doom games that no one liked and basically killed the franchise, and those (didn't really played them) seemed to lean more into the sci-fi element that became popular with the Alien games, so I can see why they're leaning more into the absurd, over the top style.
I don't know if age is betraying me, but as someone who played a lot of old Doom on PC, I do think old Doom leaned more into the dark sci-fi punk rock style rather than the new dark fantasy heavy metal they're going for now, so while it does look and sound similar, it also just quite doesn't. I also feel like old Doom had a certain "empty" feeling to it that made it feel like you were playing in a Zdzisław Beksinski painting instead of the non-stop "rip and tear". However (and this should be obvious to anyone), a big reason why Doom was that way was because of technical limitations, so it makes sense now that the action is ramped up to 11, which the new Doom trilogy has done very well. Doom was always a run and gun game, and the philosophy behind playing Doom was always to never stop moving as it was the norm with arena shooters.
I personally think the new Doom games are great, and yet I still don't like them. I played Doom Eternal and thought it was amazing. It's a very easy game to pick but is clearly hard to master, which I think is what makes the best videogames. One thing I really didn't like was the lack of ammo (which forces you to always do the executions to regain some unless you max the ammo upgrades soon) and the executions, which break the flow of the game and get annoying since you repeat the same 2 animations all the time and are kinda forced to do it. For as much as I thought Eternal was a great game, it never hooked me up and I really tried to love it and master it, but I never could.
Now, you may think I'm wrong and a dumb faggot, but you see what I'm saying? I can make a point without sounding like a fucking asshole and just shit on things because I know I won't get my ass kicked for it. I don't just say "it's not like the original!" like a retard without elaborating. Phil, being a lifelong gamer and content creator for almost 18 years, is still incapable of ever giving an opinion without sounding like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.
What makes it particularly annoying is that if you were to ever give your opinion on Phil the exact same way he does, he'd say your opinion is invalid because you don't have an argument, the same way he did with the recent marathon. He just bitches and then expects people to take his baseless arguments.
