DOOM

[MarineN*423543]

tumblr has been improving lately, not much but is already more grown up thatn twitter,stuff never i thought i would see

 

[Monsieur Guillotine]

Tumblr's SJW population largely migrated to Twitter because Donald Trump posts there. That way they can respond to all of his tweets with 3-page diatribes that he'll never read or pay attention to.

OT: New Doom looks great. I like that they shortened the animations of the "executions" so that they don't grow stale as fast as in the current game.

So what bothers you most about Doom isn't the hellish, often satanic imagery and extreme violence and gore, it's a tiny fucking joke that constitutes literally .1% of the game.

My sides, man. We live in an age where what makes Doom infamous is ignored in favor of a minor joke about the soullessness of corporations that's somehow being interpreted as anti-immigration and an attack of political correctness.

ok, I chuckled

Come on, we know all of them are probably lawyers.

While we all shit on Tumblr being a haven of SJW's, even Tumblr can take a joke over Doom Eternal. Moreover, one Tumblr user also notes what the "mortally challenged" bit is taking a piss at.

Maybe it's the people I follow but I've seen a lot of love for Doom on my dash. My favorite is this small analysis of Doom Guy's character.

"I just love the fact that DoomGuy spots the keycard on the dude’s lanyard, and instead of doing a vicious yank, or simply snapping it off the lanyard like he always does, he very, VERY carefully takes it, and slowly pulls the dude to the scanner, before letting him go.

For a dude filled with eternal rage and seething violence, that was remarkably polite of him. It was almost his “…Excuse me. I require this. Pardon my reach.”

Then that poor marine. “Hey YOU! You can’t… be… here…”

DoomGuy just casually approaches, looks at him, looks at his gun, and then still remarkably politely, just takes it. Doesn’t wrench it away, or kill the guy, or anything violent. Just reaches out and retrieves it. Again, like “You are doing a fine job. That’s a fine weapon. Mind if I see it? *takes it and walks away*”

It’s as if he’s being very, VERY careful not to harm normal humans (or whatever augmented humans those armored marines qualify as), saving his violence specifically for the Daemonic.

Kinda supports my idea that DoomGuy isn’t neccessarily a bloodthirsty raging psycho. He’s a guy who has seen so much, done SO MUCH… that he’s calm. He’s so far beyond wrath at the demons that he’s entered a weird Calm and just LIVES there. Nothing shakes him of it. He doesn’t grunt, he doesn’t yell, he doesn’t scream, he just breathes and moves on. New demon? Well, it’ll bleed like the last. He doesn’t revel in combat, he just moves through it like walking through air; it’s a function of existence for him."

For real, I want Doom Guy to be my dad.

The reason Doomguy was on Phobos in Doom 1 in the first place was as a punishment for beating up a superior officer who ordered him to shoot innocent civilians. I'm glad id remembered that.

Doom Guy was genuinely disgusted by anything Samuel and Olivia putted up on Mars and he haven't killed the former only because Samuel manged to outsmart him.
And let's not forget him backing up Vega,the only entity who treats him more than just a living weapon,saving it from destruction

If it is the same Doom Guy from the original series he was very committed to the preservation of human life going by his actions in 2 where he stays behind so the last humans can escape to space and doom 64 where he decides to remain in hell to stop the demons from the inside and prevent further invasions.

He is blind mad seeking rage TOWARDS demons and demon allies not human (also expalin why he just didnt trash Avatar Robot every single time they met)

I think he sees Vega as human because of his intelligence. In the data tapes it even says that most people can't tell the difference between Vega and a person.

The only reason Samuel is still alive is because Doom Guy needed his help to destroy the demons. Early on Samuel demonstrates that he can order Vega to deny him information, so he had no choice but to go along with Samuel to a point. Since we saved Vega's "life" in the last game I hope he'll come back in the next one, this time with no allegiance to Samuel.

It's pretty clear the Doom Slayer really wanted to shoot Hayden to death almost immediately when Hayden went off about how the sacrifice was regrettable but necessary, but as you put it, he had to cooperate with the guy to a point because they had mutual benefits to doing so for awhile.

Still, I love the game threw in a ton of subtle "you fucking disgust me" moments whenever Hayden did his rationalizing bullshit.

For instance, a bunch of dead guys are in front of a terminal where Hayden is doing that dumb rationalizing, and all the Doom Slayer can do is look down at the bodies like "tell these poor bastards that".

The camera work also betrays a lot of the DS' disgust, and you guys might have noticed it freezes and zooms in slowly on Hayden whenever he's trying to soft soap the protagonist, like our hero is just glaring at the guy with a "you are stupid enough to believe your bullshit, aren't you?" look.

I honestly appreciated that subtle approach to giving our hero character, as it kept Doom's policy of not shoving story in your face save enough to give context what to do next while letting you empathize with your hero, a guy who has seen so much horror from people who are dumb enough to fuck around with Hell, and you just can't help but feel his disgust along with him.

The fact that

Remember 20 years ago when the people that were most against DOOM were fundie Christian pearl clutchers that were essentially hanger-ons of the then debunked Satanic Panic? These people really do support my theory that the usual suspects we have today complaining about it are the direct offspring of the former crowd, just that they went in the complete opposite direction to spite them, but the apples didn't fall far from the trees in terms of being unbearable moralizers.

Plus, the lines are more to mock soulless corporations that take up sanitized neoliberal PC speak to make themselves look better to whatever part of their base that would scream at then if they didn't.

Then again you have to remember that as supposedly anti-capitalist these people claim to be, they're also simultaneously one of the most heavily consumerist groups on earth, so that explains a lot as to why the joke went over their heads.

I could legit write an essay about all of the subtle story telling in Doom 2016 and how Doom Guy just oozes personality without ever saying a word. I also greatly appreciated all the extra lore hidden around the levels. Making the deeper details of your story into collectibles is perfect for the gaming medium. It makes uncovering the truth an interactive experience rather than pausing for five minutes to pretend it's a movie. The gore is fantastic, the action is balls busting awesome, but as a writer and a gamer this shit gets me hard.

This is all very great. I didn't even consider the points quoted by Johny Bravo. He was remarkably calm in Phobos though, yeah, so if it really is that way it makes a whole hell of a lot of sense.
