Just write the fanfic already and spare us the indulgent detail about a ~really strong demon like the doomslayer~ that everyone is trying to explain we don't want or care about.

Except I do want to know more about this hypothetical nemesis. What was its job (in Hell) before the Doomslayer came along? What personal grudge does it hold against the Doomslayer that's so unique? Is it a good kisser? Will its genitalia be exposed (and, if so, how large will it be?)

I'm confident that the giant skeleton tank literally named "The Doom Hunter" and the shotgun-wielding gladiator demons seen in the concept art are going to be set up as your rivals-in-power opponents (how effective they'll actually be is another story).

My bet is that they'll fight like Quake 3 bots with slightly better animations.

I believe you're thinking of "Agony", which is another game about demons and hell and is as fantastic as DOOM (2016)--if not superior in virtually every way. :smug:

It turns out The Doom Hunter is actually just an imp holding a mirror in front of doom guy, taunting him the whole time.

If anything, this makes me want it more.

Just imagine: a big rear end demon shows up. He rips his way through other demons because they're in the way and he wants you. The catharsis, the glee if demons feel such a thing, is palpable as he rips and tears and now, at last, the fight he's been preparing his whole vile existence for.

And then as the fight wears on

the polish starts to come off.

He was eager. Confident. He thought he was ready and he was god drat wrong. His posture shifts as the battle wages. The tone of his demonic roaring changes pitch. Sputters. Chokes. His armor breaks, then his body starts to. He began the battle upright, back arched, head held high, weapons at the ready but he ends it in a more compromised, more pathetic position than any demon prior because he understands, better than they ever could. He was their best shot and he knew it. He was closer than anything else in Hell to knowing what he was up against... and he was nowhere close.

And then you loving end him without an ounce of hesitance, because to you? He was just another demon.

This dude stole the picture I had in my head and described it perfectly. Doom Slayer doesn't need a true rival as much as he need someone who thinks they'r a true rival.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I remember it being much weirder than that. He tried to convert them to Christianity, but they ended up worshiping him as a prophet. Then he waged an infinite holy war through a bunch of doom mods with his demon apostles, because his soul was really trapped inside of zDoom. The stuff happening in the real world was even more bizarre.

drat, those books got strange.

Last week one of the cashiers at the 7/11 I usually frequent before work heard my phone alarm and recognized it as E1M1 (I use the Doot version on loud. Never fails.) We started talking and the new one comes up and he mentioned he never played it since he thought the same things most other people did when it was first announced. I told him to jump on it immediately because it's just that drat good.

Cut to a couple of days ago and he's loving it and now hype for Eternal since I told him they're currently making it. And that was my XMas Good Deed.

I know it's a page behind, but it really shows how a small group of guys just changed the goddamn world with DOOM, and in the end, murdering the gently caress outta demons brings people together

After beating Doom 2 Master Levels I decided to finally seriously play through Doom64 (technically it's a hack/port on PC with proper mouse+kb) and I don't see what all the fuss is about. There are people who really say this is their favorite version of Doom :confused:

While I haven’t beaten it, I love the level architecture, atmosphere, and creative use of lighting in that game.

:same: (but I have beaten it)

It's a different doom experience, but for me, after fiddling around with Doom and Doom 2, and Ultimate Doom, and Final Doom and level editors, multiplayer etc. pp., I kinda got a bit burned out because I seen all, created dozens of maps I shared and played with my friends, and other games and stuff became also interesting.

Then after some time of "other things than Doom", I got a Nintendo 64 on release, and managed my way to a hack module (to play non-german modules, because Doom was banned over here), and got a Doom 64 module, and really liked the difference in tone, sprites, lighting, sound. To me, it's like "alternate univere Doom". It's cool, and good, and I enjoyed it, and everything about it was so different, I enjoyed it.

I finished it like two times, and since then only picked it up to remember myself of how it felt back then, while I play the classic dooms at least every two years.

It's good, and while I like Doom 3, Doom 64 fits much closer into the whole Doom work than Doom 3, imo.

Can't wait to hear what he creates for Doomy Turtle. His Doom 2016 soundtrack is one of the best gaming soundtracks I've heard. The fact that it adapts, and how it adapts, to reflect what's happening in the game is incredible.

I'm also very excited to hear Mick Gordon talk about how he made the new soundtrack, and whatever madness he used this time around, like feeding the signal through 27 guitar pedals and a soviet synth like last time.

Developers have talked about adaptive music for what feels like forever but Doot is the first game I can think of where it really worked as advertised.
