I like the comparatively wimpy sound of the plasma gun compared to the heavy assault rifle since it makes the plasma gun seem like a flashy, new, over designed weapon made to wow investors.

If you didn't like Fallout 3 Alexey, you won't like Fallout 4. Even if you did like 3 you might not like 4. I wonder how many features Bethesda is going to steal from DOOM when they make Fallout 5? Well if Fallout 5 has glory kills, you heard it here first.

I don't want an FPS Fallout, I want an oldschool slow top-down turn-based Fallout. No, I don't care that it's just plain incompatible with modern game design and that should such a Fallout come to exist, I would be the first one to whine about how bad it is :v:

I'd love if Bethesda just took inspiration from their other, much better, games like Wolfenstein: TNO, DOOM, and Dishonored. As it is the FPS mechanics in Fallout 4 are so generic that aside from being a betrayal of the original Fallout (or whatever, I haven't played 1&2) it just isn't that much fun to play. There's nothing to separate it from the rest of the pack of generic FPSs. I want to dual wield laser rifles, rip off a bandit's arm and beat him to death with it, or just be able to peek out of cover.

So, humanity doesn't even have the excuse of "we didn't know the energy was coming from Hell" as a defense. I think the human race in this game maybe kinda deserves this.

This is one of my favorite parts of the plot. In any other game the source of the UAC's miracle energy would be a secret that'd you'd have to uncover, but this is DOOM and the DOOM Marine doesn't need to untangle any conspiracies, just blast hordes of demons so the fracking of Hell is upfront.

And I am ashamed to admit that I did not fully upgrade the Super Shotgun on my first play through. Please forgive me my sacrilege.

Hopefully Alexey will pick the Mobile Turret upgrade for it: that alt-fire mod turns the chaingun from an assault rifle side-grade to one of the most powerful and satisfying guns in the entire game.

Given his record I think he might go for the other one.

Oh man, I agree, chainguns with low rates of fire just feel so wrong. Please tell me the upgrade for it turns it into the quake 2 chaingun, i.e. fires so goddamn fast it's like a full auto shotgun and empties your entire stock of bullets in about 5 seconds of continuous fire.

One lets you spin up the barrels without having to fire them, the other splits it into a bunch of smaller gatling guns and fires twice as fast. Neither gets quite so fast as to empty in five seconds though.

Alexey, at 1:18 you refer to "well" as "the parasite word". I've never heard any word referred to as such. What did you mean by that? You shouldn't beat yourself up about getting english wrong though, no one can speak it properly. And you're by far the most articulate chinchilla I've ever heard.

Early Christmas gift? Are you an Orthodox Christian?

No, I was raised Episcopalian, I was just trying to humor Alexey. Alexey is Russian right?

Anyway, when that hologram of Hayden and Olivia shows up Olivia mentions needing more people for their faith to Hayden. How widespread was the Hell worship at UAC? Hayden clearly doesn't buy into it, but was everyone directly below him a true believer, or was the faith just limited to Olivia and the people working for her?

Its nature as a curseword has nothing to do with its actual meaning, and it's such a mild profanity that it's barely considered one at all, it's like saying "drat" in English

That sounds just like people saying "fudge" instead of "gently caress". What's the Russian equivalent of "gosh darn it to heck"?

The thing I'd like to know is who the hooded figure overlooking the battle in this picture is.

Probably the seraphim that empowered Doomguy. The demons at least think that heaven is helping him out.

Crazy Achmed posted:

...but now for some nitpicky criticisms: was I the only one who found the weapon sounds a bit weak? Granted I'm not listening on decent speakers, but The pistol, plasma gun and BFG seemed to be almost silent. The gauss cannon also sounds like it's a bit muffled, but maybe I'm too used to the harsh crack at the start of the quake 2 railgun sound. Similarly, there seemed to be surprisingly little sound or feeling of impact on a few of the glory kills too, namely the ones where you just punch a demon hard enough to make it explode.

Maybe there's some sort of noise compensation in the suit that prevents Doomguy's eardrums from bursting every time he fires the guns?
