Yeah he was a soldier with PTSD but that's pussy shit for zoomies so they took the meme comic and made it canon.

the epic doom soldia

He was never 'just a soldier'
He could run at 60mph and carry a dozen weapons and survive being pelted in the face with balefire where literally everyone else in his unit, on the station, and on earth couldn't

nu-Doom doesn't even feel like the cover art it loves to imitate. You never fight that many enemies. Supposedly Dark Ages changes that but I haven't played that.

How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning?

you seem like the sorta guy that complains about ludonarrative dissonance

Co-Op is canon to Doom so supposedly all marines in his unit could achieve the same speeds.

The power of being one marine with a righteous heart, according to Doom's manual he was transferred to Mars as a punishment for refusing to kill civilians.

They made a version of a boomer shooter character that was "just a soldier with ptsd", he was called BJ Blaskowicz and you hated it
Don't get mad because they gave doomguy a level of lore to back up his achievements

they lost the plot

I liked The New Order

Dark Ages definitely changes that. Frequently you'll be going up against dozens of fodder enemies at once with a handful of stronger ones mixed in their ranks. It feels like the absolute best parts of Doom 2 at times and is probably the most mechanically faithful nu-Doom game in that sense. Also, unlike 2016 and Eternal, it has proper momentum based bunnyhopping so the gameplay is head and shoulders above Eternal in every way.

at least metadoom is epic

one marine with a righteous heart

You mean he knew to share his crayons

I'd probably feel much better right now. I chugged too much milk.

ackshually doomguy was always meant to be a demigod because of these specific gameplay details that never meant shit to the devs who never took story seriously

It feels like the absolute best parts of Doom 2 at times and is probably the most mechanically faithful nu-Doom game in that sense

ah yes dragon riding, rpg elements, and hub levels

The New Order and New Colossus are both awesome games with some of the most satisfying gun feel of all time. New Colossus lost the plot super hard with its story though, and the levels were nowhere near as interesting and varied as New Order. Blazkowicz was well fleshed out though, no matter what anyone says they did a good job giving him a true personality and character arc. Shame they ditched it for the retarded daughters in the third game though.

that never meant shit to the devs who never took story seriously

Romero wrote a entire backstory for him.

Remember when he was just a soldier?

Yeah, at the start of the first game
It's been six games since then

tfw still no Enemy Territory remake

that game was so fucking fun

because they gave doomguy a level of lore to back up his achievements

It’s the same shit as Juib in the Elder Scrolls games going from just a prisoner in a boat to some Cliff Racer genociding saint and then some renowned legendary writer. Not everything needs to have this “LOO SO EPIC PWNZ0RZ!!! xD” layer of retarded fanfiction attached to it. And considering both things are from Bethesda, it’s just further proof that nobody on their writing team understands nuance anymore.

Why are you trying to force this actual tranny Twitter meme?

Isn't it in a legal limbo? Pretty sure that's why they made a new series.

sup hugo

Not really equivalent, since Jiub IS just some guy in the first scene of the game whereas Doomguy is the Doomguy.
I do agree with you though that this is why fans shouldn't be hired to write stuff.

He was a leftist who refused orders from a fascist government to fire on civilians. He would NOT have for Drumpf.

They made the doom guy just a soldier again in Doom 3
I personally would love more survival horror esque Doom games

Doom 1 and 2 had some jumpscare moments (pitch black hallways with monster closets)

How did it lose the plot?
They just had fun with, with basically a caricature level absurdity like Tarantino does.
The tired trope of killing retard Nazis couldn't go any differently

He was a Catholic man blessed by God.

He could run at 60mph and carry a dozen weapons and survive being pelted in the face with balefire where literally everyone else in his unit, on the station, and on earth couldn't

this is the meme lore that the internet started laughing about 10 years after its release. the meme lore that bethesda decided to base their entire sequel series on

kino

bethesda the publisher and bethesda the todds studio arent the same thing retard
its not the same writing team
doom was made by id software

Irc up until doom 2016 he was just a very angry soldier that was so lethal that he got sealed away and broke free, the demigod shit is a doom eternal addition

Dude they lost the plot immediately the moment they brought out the magic jew with this ancient jew technology that he and his jew order hoard but vowed to never use because reasons.

Doomguy was normal for a asingle episode out of the entirety of the Doom series. After he died at the end of episode 1, he became something more.

I like "Nazis chasing ancient occult magitech" storylines but TNO was a bit too on the nose with it
Then TNC amped things up to 11 with the fat nazi lusting over BBC, the sassy black revolutionary, and the pregnancy subplot

How smooth is your brain holy shit

I like the idea that he's just another Joe, not even that great a soldier, but idealistic, and turned into a superhuman because of his suffering.

I remember dicking around in Doom with a friend over, and I said something like "why are you always the best, most elite soldier in your squad? I want a game where you're a fucking idiot, have it so you turn to go left and the game goes right."

Why can Max Payne carry 50 guns in his leather coat?

Remember when Doom's plot was just written on a napkin?

Kill yourself.

no, there was a whole ass bible written for it, but carmack only took maybe 2% of it after skimming through a few pages and threw everything else Tom Hall wrote into the garbage

Yeah bro doomguy can run as fast as a car while carrying less than a dozen weapons, it makes sense he can just kill God himself

If they implemented all of it Doom would have been just another goofy 90s shooter like Blake Stone

but carmack only took maybe 2% of it after skimming through a few pages and threw everything else Tom Hall wrote into the garbage

Based Gigachad Carmack

btw you just responded to an ESL. How do you feel about that?

Carmack is one of the most based dev in this gay industry

Remember how 2005 was 20 years ago? crazy that things are changing with time!

bet you felt really smart posting this

literally transcended this astral plane with that post yea, thanks for noticing.

no problem, have a great weekend!
