Oh, Olivia. When it comes to beings you can trust on keeping their word, I for some reason doubt the legions of Hell are high on that list.

My impression of Mega Health as the "first successful fusion" is that all the other powerups (Berserk, Invulnerability, etc) are weird bits of hell majick that any time they try to infuse a normal person with it, they go crazy or have a heart attack or some poo poo. Whatever energy is behind Mega Health is they could contain and administer safely for some reason. Otherwise, only THE DOOM SLAYER can absorb the powerups because he is hard af.

I admit, I never got that much mileage out of the railgun except for its secondary fire modes. The primary fire just never really seemed worth it.

So, yeah. They're not just out of fossil fuels, they're out of fissionables. Shutting down argent energy all of a sudden means mankind is hosed. And chances are it's not "new Dark Age" levels of hosed we're talking, but more like "downwards spiral to extinction" levels of hosed. Puts a bit of perspective on the whole question of how desperate they had to be to go all-in on this exploiting hell gig.
So, they are basically the Dead Space humanity then, I take it? Because apparently they wipe their asses with rare earth wafers or something since they've apparently managed to run out of critical raw materials when you have sci-fi space travel and access to the entire drat solar system...

As the thread said and Alexey has shown so far, that is the worst combat challenge in the game since unlike getting neck-breakers or jump-kills, triggering the leg sweep glory kill is way too finicky to pull off reliably especially given the limited number of hell razers in the entire level.
The rune challenge, though, I didn't find it too bad though not giving the super shotgun fast reload was pretty mean of the developers. :v:

If skulls are the keycards of Hell and are consumed on opening a door, that explains why the demons are invading. They just want skulls so they can open their front door after a long day of work. :v:

Also yeah, my only real issue with Hell is that if you're obsessive about exploring every inch of terrain like me, it can be harrowing to not be sure if you're about to miss a niche because you can't figure out how to open it, or whether it just opens later after an arbitrary story point.

re: the sword thing

As cool as that would be, I can't remember any instances of good implementation of swords in a first person game, especially an FPS.

Also, they gave you a chainsaw, which is like a sword, only it causes more gore.

Same. It took me a few tries to pull off, but the run when you do feels like it flows so right

Dead Island did melee pretty alright, at least with the heavier weapons. But I don't think a melee weapon would really mesh well with a game as mobile as DOOM 2016.

The alternative is to just have the sword be a reskinned chainsaw in functionality, that might work pretty alright.

When in hell, the End Of Fight riff might sound familiar to old Doom fans. It's a chorus version of Doom's e1m8 song, sign of evil.

Honestly the sword in halo basically being an instant kill dash was fun and would mesh well with doom. Of course thats basically the chainsaw. But a temporary dash to it with unlimited fuel ala berserk to glory kills could be rad.

The Super Shotgun certainly pulled its weight in that encounter that gave you trouble. What an awkward arena to fight a bunch of monsters, especially when you add Summoners to the mix.

Cacodemons have always looked goofy, with the exception of the Doom 64 design which is legitimately creepy.

Yeah! Enquiring mind wish to know.

And I think the term you were looking for to describe the Cacodemon's attack was psychoactive.

I didn't click the link, I don't care for amateur porn that much (and was busy talking over the video, I didn't feel like randomly stopping and then having to resynch the back half of the commentary). :iiam:

I was looking for the word "psychotropic", but psychoactive is also correct :v:

You know what I miss? The spiral trails from railgun shots. Who did the soundtrack for this game, by the way? It seems like a nice middle ground between quake 2-style metal, quake 1 reznory industrial ambient, with a but of glitchy bassy electronic thrown in for good measure.
