Doom

I've not gotten my hands on the game (yet) but the footage I've seen has given me some Metroid Prime vibes. The 3D map screen, the double jump, the metallic power suit, the use of Story Breadcrumbs, what seems like a deeper characterization of the forces of Hell as opposed to previous entries (not unlike what Metroid Prime did to the traditionally mindless-Mook Space Pirates) and said evil opposition losing their shit knowing that the protagonist is on the loose (Metroid Prime 2's Space Pirates reacted much the same way to "The Hunter" in their midst).

If I'm not mistaken, one guy who worked for Retro went on to work for id, before being let go some time ago. Maybe he imported some of ideas from Metroid Prime and some of them survived all the way to the finished product?

If so, Doom has absorbed the best traits of Prime.

Absolutely.

Trust me. This game truly does feel like an actionized and much more violent Metroid Prime. If you like the latter, you'll like this game.

And now: Playing DOOM (the game) while listening to DOOM (the band) .

I kinda prefer the N64 Dual blade Chainsaw over the standard one strictly because of how over the top it is... I mean it fits so much better in my mind then the normal chainsaw

So...apparently the UAC have vending machines for hot food; options include cheeseburgers, hot dogs, french fries, pizza, fried chicken, spaghetti, pancakes, a breakfast combo with eggs and bacon, tacos, and apple pie.

They also have Dopefish-brand Chinese takeout noodles.

I just want the pizza option in real life; now I can always have a pizza.

Those are all options at my workplace's cafeteria.

Granted you have to microwave the food after getting it out of the machine, so it's not too much of a stretch to think that someone took the concept and added in an internal system of heating.

DoomRL is hard. Still getting asploded by Mancubi in Inferno.

I wish there was a RL version of DOOM RPG.

What's Doom RL?

A DOOM-themed roguelike, made by a Polish guy (who had also created an Aliens- and a Diablo roguelike, among other stuff). DoomRL is his most popular one, and also got a nice graphical upgrade made by one Derek Yu.

Yyyyeah sounds like its not for me.

still better than Brutal or Complex Doom I wager

@PC Players: How scalable is this port? I have the 750ti, so I can't run on max settings, but I wanna know if 60FPS is still attainable.

Jesus fucking Christ, I must say that Ultra-nightmare mode is brutal. I got the achievement, but I'm now determined to go all the fucking way.

Nice hidden message in Doom's soundtrack.

And they thought backmasking was the problem.

So

Where do you think the good doctor warped us too? For Irony, Tei Tenga For a shoutout to one of the numerous fan packs... Either Pluto or Jupiter

Back into your coffin .

Beneath Mt Ebott.

To Bumfuck, Egypt, where you'll be the protagonist of the upcoming Powerslave reboot.

I bet we got warped to Thy Flesh Consumed, and the next time we'll be back is during the Hell Invasion of Earth... again.

Which then turns out to be a Resistance 3 remake.
