No, you misunderstand. Do not lower the volume. Otherwise, it will no longer be satisfactory.

It's not truly ripping and tearing until you scream so hard you eject your vocal cords. There's a good reason Doomguy only communicates by breaking things.

The spike in volume wasn't that big, and even if it were, it's necessary to be loud as possible for that occasion.

Honestly, I kinda feel that the design of the Cybredemon is... Lackluster. It looks a little too goofy.

One thing I like about this part is when the Cyberdemon grabs Doomguy and tosses him into the room. In any other FPS you'd get chucked into the far wall and slowly get up, but Doomguy's so good that he lands on his feet.

When the Doom Slayer was trying to stop himself when he was thrown he left marks on the ground with his fingers.

One thing that's implied in the game is that the Doomguy and the Cyber-Demon fought in the past, and the Cyber-Demon remembers.

He definitely cocks his head to one side in a "Wait...It's you!" moment right before he roars.

So everyone may have noticed that there's a lot of artfully laid out candles in Hell. Someone has come up with an explanation why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOWUfD_fuM

To be fair, to a demon, seeing the Doomguy would be like us literally seeing the living embodiment of Armageddon itself, so it's not necessarily them having specifically fought before. It's established that everyone knows Doomguy and is terrified of Doomguy

What does Commander Keen have to do with the BFG 9000...? Oh well.

There's an alternate scenario for you. Commander Keen takes on the legions of Hell.

Keen's gun and OG Doom's BFG have the same looking projectile.

Also, there's sort of a unofficial/semi-official story idea that the OG Wolfenstein guy, OG Doomguy, and Keen are related.

I don't know about Doom, but I'm pretty sure it's canon that Commander Keen is the grandson or something of BJ Blazkowicz.

Yes, if only because it's easier to drive a pogo stick into enemies' skulls in a 2D platformer.

I think this second Hell level is where the budget and dev time started to run out. There's not as much care and precision in the object placement and encounter design.

Actually, speaking of that, this is also where the game no longer has any new guns or enemies to throw at you. The increase in intensity is from this point executed through simply increasing the number of enemies.
With that said, we're about 75% done with the game, so it doesn't outstay its welcome

Well, if those Pinkies were genetically modified, they'd probably need to have altered their demonoxyribonucleic acid!

C'mon, Genetics doesn't readily allow for puns; hell, the best I could come up with Hell was the city of Dis joke, fer Chrissakes.
