Because the Doom modding scene desperately needs features like this.

They also did the retarded shit that modern programs do of saving the config file far away from the actual executable.

Yeaaaaah. I'm sticking with gzDoom. I also make sure to make a hate comment on any video on my youtube feed about UZdoom. I left one on the recent UZ Doom announcement and they deleted it like a bunch of pussies.

Id Software says Microsoft "doesn't understand art", impossible to make Doom with half the staff now


View attachment 9396606


Didn't the head of Id say that they made Doom 2016 with the same amount of devs that they have now?
Maybe this dude should shut up about "art", video games are toys. Doom The Dark Ages was full of cutscenes. Doom shouldn't have out-of-character cutscenes.
 
Doom The Dark Ages was full of cutscenes
Whoever the story lead that took over with Eternal wanted to turn Doom into Marvel capeshit.

Yahtzee Croshaw is washed and a fag but he nailed Doom The Dark Ages when he put it on his most boring games of 2025 list:

Doom 2016 also had those sections like Half Life 2 where it locks you in a room and you have to listen Samuel Hayden monologue at you, sections like this one that people forget about, but at least it's not as corny:

and Doom 2016 pretty much made fun of the trend of exposition scenes. Right at the beginning of the game when you need an ID to open the door, there's some audiolog that starts playing and Doomguy just smashes the monitor and the door opens.
If there was some necessary plot exposition you were still in character, like in the video you posted. In Doom The Dark Ages it feels like they take the game away every time you are about to have fun.

Believe me, those are the sections I remember the most. Less yapping and more demon clapping, even if I do like 2016's story at the end of the day.

Also the Hayden section has an exploit where if you try and use grenades it would count as a use but have no cooldown meaning you could instantly upgrade that rune that buffs equipment if you haven't already, which is always the case for me. Buffed siphons (or whatever they were called) are pretty nice against bosses and my usual loadout of glorykill related runes is kinda useless against them.

dunno about the dark ages since it seems mediocre.
Still miles above any FPS released... probably since this decade started besides Eternal. Dark Ages was certainly a step in the right direction even if it has problems. Really the issue is that they seemed to forget they had gold on their hands with 2016 and really they should've just made 2016 Two. That said the DLC for Dark Ages is easily the best part about it and may even be better than Eternal. The fact that ID crunched for it and then we're promptly turned into a puppet company is horrendous and I hope Microsoft goes bankrupt.

I'm iffy about the layoffs. If the retarded PR types and woke morons were kicked out I'm all for it but if all the talented people were kicked out then I hope jeetsoft goes bankrupt. Knowing current year it's almost always gonna be the latter. Otherwise the fat niggerdykes with A.I.D.S will mald about discrimination or someshit.

By triple AAA standards that may as well be beef wellington compared to the jeet dogshit on a plate most shooters are nowadays. Indies I dunno about and AA stuff seems rather divisive. It doesn't help the shooter scene is insanely oversaturated too to boot.

it is almost entirely the latter, you don't even really have to dig deep either. Guys who've been there since Quake and I wanna even say Commander Keen we're booted. Art and level guys who've been there since at least 2016 was in development.

↓ WARNING: STATEMENT MAY MAKE DOOM FANS AGES 4-99 CLITTY LEAK ↓

I enjoy all of the DOOM games. 1, 2, 64, 3, 2016, Eternal, TDA, all of them.

Well If I'm being honest 1 and 2 are the weakest IMO, primarily due to the mixed level design; but they can still be enjoyable and I respect them.

I'm a nu-DOOMsissy since that was my proper introduction to doom as a 12 year old. I did play doom 3 a year before but it was so fucking boring that I nearly considered not giving the doom titles a second chance. Good thing I knew even back then this was pretty divisive and was obviously slow paced. I'm iffy about the mazey level design since the main appeal of DOOM for me is the fast paced shooty shoot shoot and close quarters arena combat with demons. Although as I have aged, I prefer the more exploration heavy level design of classic COOM.

That's just how Doom catches you. All the rip and tear shit is the introduction but as you sink into the games (and get into the older ones) the exploration and progression become the things that keep you going. Killing demons never gets old but maps with real secrets and cool shit to find be it thanks to pistol starts or gameplay mods is what keeps you going.

Okay but what's your opinion on TNT: Evilution? :)
 
and Doom 2016 pretty much made fun of the trend of exposition scenes.
Does it? the game is full of audio logs and codex entries, and has those exposition scenes with Haydn. I do think that TDA's story sucks really hard but I tolerate it more since I can just hit space and go right into the action.

Not the best game by any means, those dragon/mech sections are lackluster but gameplay wise it is really good, probably better than eternal and especially 2016.

Tried to watch his review, dropped it the moment he used GOW: Ragnarok as an example of a game that doesn't treat the player like a retard. Also complaining about difficulty while playing it on easy isn't the most clever thing to do imo.
 
Man, I think it's amazing how DOOM can be wonderful even after 20 years and I love it even more because I can even play in a pregnancy test and when they told me I didn't believe it but after I researched I was amazed how it can run in everything and why like DOOM is extremely light and why?
