IShallRiseAgain posted:One thing about why Doomguy should stay Doomguy. He is basically one of the handful of Jewish characters in videogames. If they are made into generic murder person, that would no longer be the case unless they actually integrate it into the story, which I don't see happening. Uh, are you talking about BJ Blazkowicz? I’ve never heard of Doomguy’s religion being mentioned.

Also, like I said there are basically no other Jewish characters in videogames, so I choose to believe he is a Jew.

Man, the demons in hell must really look forward to saturdays. Wait, is ripping demons in half with a chainsaw prohibited on the shabbat? It seems like שוחט but maybe demons don’t count.

Ratatouille has an amazing ending. Instead of Gusteau's being shut down due to vermin in the kitchen like in the movie, it's because Skinner goes on a mad chase after Remy through the entire dining room that results in the front of house literally collapsing on top of Skinner. Then Linguini is just like "Welp, Gusteau's is hosed..." and they open their own restaurant. And it's nice to be appreciated

Like, you can't start the chainsaw, but if you just happen to "find" a running chainsaw, and carry it in front of you, you can't be blamed if some demons accidentally stumble into it?  Or is it also illegal to pick up and carry a tool? In that case, would you have to strap yourself to the running chainsaw the night before?

exquisite tea posted:Despite his lineage Doomguy is chaste and a devout Christian. Doomguy has no time fo something as baseless as sex when there are demons to destroy with his hands. Also I see him as more like a force of nature rather than an actual gendered person. Might as well wonder what the gender of a tornado is. The pronouns are just a legacy holdover from the original game.

All Doomguy would have to do is put a string around the Hell Dimension so that it all counts as part of his household which means he can do whatever. e: or he could just be a non-devout Jew

 Alert, alert, this is not a drill: this outfit reappears in Kiwami and when he’s wearing it the dialogue boxes, health bars, and the subtitle before a fight all call him “Everyone’s Idol Goro.”

Majima is a supporting character in Kiwami, not a playable protagonist. He spends most of the game coming up with wacky schemes to surprise attack you, most of which involve elaborate setups and costumes.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Sombody want to give me a rundown of new doom plot concerning doomguy because apparently I missed some actual plot in all the ripping and tearing So basically there is a dimensional hole on Mars that leads to Hell. The UAC, the biggest company on Earth, has set up a base on Mars to suck out Hell energy. Then one of the scientists there, Olivia Pierce, made a deal with a demon to tear open the gateway and let the demons into our reality. That's when the Doom Slayer (you), who they retrieved from an earlier expedition into Hell, awakens. The leader of the UAC and one of the few survivors of the demonic incursion, Samuel Hayden, guides you through the facility toward Pierce so you can stop her while trying to convince you not to destroy the facility. You don't listen. The key to the success of Doom's plot is that it is totally optional. Every cutscene except the first is skippable, and a lot of the flavor is inside of data logs that you don't need to read. One thing I really like about the UAC setting where most of DOOM 2016 takes place is how the pretense of them using purely scientific means to extract Hell energy becomes thinner over the course of the game. As it starts, Hell energy and the extraction thereof is described using clinical sounding terms, and the assertion is that Hell Energy is a resource just like any other and they understand it completely. As you get deeper into the facility, it becomes clearer and clearer that Hell Energy really can only be extracted and manipulated by magic and dark rituals, which is what they are actually doing. It's the same calm voiced announcer the whole time, but whereas at the start he gives announcements about company picnics and overtime, by the end of the game he delivers information about volunteering for blood sacrifices and remembering to perform your sacrament.

I don't know what it was but something about it just wasn't as good as New Order I'm playing it for the first time right now (I was waiting for a decent sale on the PSN store), and I'm pretty early in the game but I'd say it's that you feel way too squishy and it relies on shitloads of enemies spawning in compared to the first game. Still into the game, but I agree.
