DOOM

[CyrusHowler]

but then I remembered I'm in the Games section of the website

It’s so fucking frustrating. You try to have a nuanced conversation and all the posts from normal people are drowned out by the hordes of Low T late 30’s early 40’s year olds. Nothing is worse than a PC gamer from the 90’s, except Obsidian fanboys.
Can there not just be dedicated sperg/hate threads to contain the retards?

Being honest, I wouldnt doubt that if this site was around in 1994 someone would post some shit on how doom 2 ruined the series by adding the super shotgun or shit like that

Everything new is automatically bad no matter what. Old is always good no matter what.

Doom 2016 was a banger

It was okay. The demons and weapons looked generic and weird. Doomguy looked like a fusion of Samus and Master Chief and it was just a bunch of hallways.

Doom 3

You mean the least Doom feeling game in the series with 2016 following closely behind?
I like Doom 3 but let’s not pretend it wasn’t chasing the survival horror trend which is what Doom never was.

thankfully the indies and AA studios have managed to break out of that paradigm and rediscover the ideas that made FPS the genre to beat in the 90s and early 2000s

By purposely making games with shit Quake style graphics and just tread tired old ground already done in the 90’s?
Or charming Doom 1+2 style graphics but no real innovation?
Retarded take.

slop

slop

The modern Doom series has reached peak sloppa territory.

The drones know no other term.
Just “slop” until the end of time.

But it like isn't, though? Most of the stuff in the game outside of maybe art design are in pretty clear contrast to modern shooters, Eternal even more so.

Trying to reason with the unreasonable is not worth it.

every map is a bunch of corridoors

Doom 3? Yes it is.

I jumped into the thread to see how much of a disaster this piece of shit is going to be, and I find Cyrus having yet another mental meltdown(which apparently involves Obsidian again out of nowhere)
This tells me all I need to know

 

[Endless Torment]

I didn't care much for Eternal should I skip Dark Ages/wait for a sale?

Underage mad that people won't consume new product solely because it's new, lmao. Also wants even the tiniest dissent to be removed.
A quick reminder:

 

[News Enjoyer]

Doom is good.
Doom 2 is good.
Doom 64 is good.
Doom 3 has its moments.
Doom 4 is good.
Doom Eternal is good.
Fucking Chex Quest is good.

I am without a hint of irony ready to consoom new product and get excited for next product.

I will take another Doom 3 or Quake 4 in a heartbeat over this zoomer ADHD bing bing wahoo shit

Doom was always bing bing wahoo. Bright colors, goofy monsters, powerups and secret areas. Doom 3 is the outllier, and I suspect that's where most of the resistance is coming from- kids who grew up with Halo, Doom 3 and CODlikes, and expect shooters to take themselves seriously, tackle serious issues, etc. Arcade "bing bing wahoo" mechanics are, in fact, boomercore. Enemies with specific weaknesses evokes Mega Man, air dashing Mega Man X, powerup pickups go back to Mario and further, finishing moves are Mortal Kombat, platforming was long considered an outdated style of game design through the Halo years.

But, who knows? Doom 1 and 2 keep getting official content. Quake got some. Maybe when Doom 3 has an anniversary coming up it can get a nice little something. The DLC was already the best part of that game by a mile.

Stopped reading there, this is the second dumbest thing I read in gaming this year and also the second biggest cope
Nu-Doom fanbase deserves the slop it gets, and the horde of troonie-zoomie shooters they helped propagate.

 

[Patrick Bait-man]

You know what, I'm gonna say it: I think DOOM SUCKS!


Yeah that's right,
DOOM 1 SUCKS
DOOM 2 SUCKS
DOOM 64 SUCKS
DOOM 3 is the best SUCKS
DOOM 2016 SUCKS
DOOM ETERNAL SUCKS

THEY'RE ALL GAY TROONIE-ZOOMIE BING BING WAHOO BOOMERCORE SLOP!!!

This thread sucks and Quake is obviously the superior FPS for high T men.

THEY'RE ALL GAY TROONIE-ZOOMIE BING BING WAHOO BOOMERCORE SLOP!!!

LISTEN UP BOOMER

 

[winderson_silva]

wait for a sale?

Always wait for sales, I did buy the pre release of Eternal because I was really hyped, and only had a ps4 to play it, but I wouldnt really miss important stuff if I had waited.

I like Doom 3 but let’s not pretend it wasn’t chasing the survival horror trend which is what Doom never was.

Another guy there said that Doom 3 is trying to be System Shock 2, but without an interesting enemy.

 

[Mister Fister]

I am playing Dark Ages and quite liek it so far, combat is very fun when you get the hang of it. Love these devs for being so willing to try new things, each of these games stand on their own so well.

You're supposed to call anything new "SLOP", you didn't get the memo.

 

[Yours Truly 2095]

I can't believe the ending has you giving the power of The Father to a small child in a manger.

Petition to add Kiwislop to the list.

Imo, every time I see someone saying Doom was a horror game it feels like that Spongebob meme.

It had some horror elements, but besides Phobos and Deimos Labs, the maps dont really explore it, and just having gore or 20% of the map in half light doesnt make it horror. Its not horror any more Mortal Kombat was horror.

Sure it scared kids, but guess what, so did the Piano in Super Mario 64.

So already seeing people posting TDA cutscenes on yt, being honest, I cant care less about the lore, maybe im gonna watch anyway latter

The demons and weapons looked generic and weird. Doomguy looked like a fusion of Samus and Master Chief and it was just a bunch of hallways.

True, true and true.

Still fun though, gameplay was smooth and satisfying, the soundtrack was amazing and Doom has always been a bunch of hallways between arenas. Eternal somewhat tried to change this formula with its platforming and people fucking hated it.

 

[El Goblina]

DOOM 3 is a playable, commercial iD Tech 4 demo, moreso than its fellows. But this was the nature of 3D rendering hardware at the time: the folks with the tech knowhow to push the new GPUs were very few. In the same way that the design of DOOM 1 and 2 focused on making the best of the tech they had at the time, DOOM 3 continues that trend. It is very much an artifact of its time, moreso than the titles that came before and after, and that's due to the churn in tech at the time. It gets shit on because "how do we make compelling games with this tech" was very much an unsolved question at the time, and you ended up with the boring "physics puzzles" of the Half Life dreck as a consequence.

So, I saw this

https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/doom-live-action-series-peacock.html

Hope it will be dropped, its pretty clear that unless you got a master mind of a director, you are not getting a good doom live action, and I also doubt Bethesda would try go the Lucasfilm Route with official licensed animation.

Pretty much the only time I could see a Doom film working would be when it was the peak of its popularity around 95/96. Checking the wiki page for Doom 2005, it says:

Credible news of the possibility of a Doom movie first broke in the press around April 1995, with the currently earliest known report appearing in PC Games magazine issue 9.[1] It was stated that rights to the franchise had been optioned by film-maker Ivan Reitman, who at the time operated the Northern Lights Entertainment production company, which was associated with Universal Pictures. Various rumors would continue to circle for a few months, including suggestions that action movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger would be cast in the main role.[2]

I mean it's also two years ago, and the last two attempts at a DOOD movie failed terribly. (The very last being a direct-to-stream thing tells you all you need to know lmao.)

I don't think id is in any rush for a new go anytime soon.

No one hated Doom 3 until 2016 came out and the faggots that whine jerked off to the lighting effects in 3.

Wrong.
