No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
The original Doom had some legit catchy tunes that are instantly recognizable to this day. It might be unfair to compare them, and both soundtracks fit their respective games' atmosphere just fine, but Doom 2016's music is definitely not as good.

Yeah, I mean, to be clear, I'm not saying "In my opinion, on a deeper read, the allegory is strong" I mean there's a clear cut secret story there with all clues and poo poo and its well done and kind of harrowing.

Uhm, I mean, I really liked Discworld, and often hum some of the music from it to this day, but, ehh... it really wasn't. Even the Neverhood Chronicles was better, tbh.

Doom 2016 has music I wouldn’t listen to outside of the context of playing the game but it’s absolutely awesome for blasting demons.

The problem with Binding of Isaac is that it's too drat slow. It feels glacial compared to Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, or Wizard of Ledgend. The shooting just isn't very satisfying.

Nuclear Throne is the best.

It had a cast of four people and they blew the entire budget on eric idle.

On the other hand doing that lead to a voice clip of eric idle saying gently caress getting shipped so....

This. The tracks are meant to fade in and out with the action. Catchiness isn't the point.

A significant fall storm may form along the East Coast late this week as a cold front combines with the remnants of Category 5 Hurricane Willa, forecast to hit Mexico’s west coast Tuesday. The storm may generate heavy rain, mountain snow, and, at the coast, strong winds and high seas.

The biggest risk of disruptive weather will be in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast over the weekend. It is too soon to project exactly how this storm will unfold and where it will hit hardest.

how can we just allow mexico to send their worst weather north across the border illegally? this is an outrage

is anyone else besides me worried that Doom Eternal will be a massive letdown? there are so many things in the trailer/gameplay footage that just feel off to me. i don't like the redesigned monsters at all, plus things like the the grappling hook and other additions to player movement look out of place in a doom game.

I think a big contributor to the success of doom 2016 was the surprise of it being so much better than people expected. With that out of the way, doom eternal has an uphill battle to one-up itself

Yep. I like the ending too, it's neat and creepy. It has at least half a dozen memorable setpieces and the big rebel leader heel turn was thematically on point (if kinda clumsily conveyed) given the 'racism as original sin' backbone to the game. The shooting was ok, if not stellar.

I genuinely don't get the ridiculous hyperbole that I see all the time about what a supposed pile of crap B:I is. It didn't have the best gunplay ever but it was perfectly serviceable, and it had a lot of great set pieces and a really entertaining story. The people that really hate it always seem like huge cretins which makes me like it even more than I would otherwise, because honestly I don't even really give a poo poo about Bioshock as a series.

A lot of Bioshock Infinite's problem is that it isn't smart, but it is trying or pretending to be. It literally does a "both sides can be evil" thing about people fighting against their own enslavement.
