Here's a relevant XKCD What If. Vega is built in a cold location for a reason.quote:1.875 terawatts is like a house-sized stack of TNT going off every second.

There are temperatures below absolute zero, if I remember right. It's one of those "physics gets weird" things you get when doing particle physics experiments and the like. (Or when you're making a sequel to Gunbuster). Also, it's nice how Doomguy isn't an rear end in a top hat.

The demons I think would disagree about the rear end in a top hat part. Or is ultra-violence considered polite in Demon Society?

Doomguy IS an rear end in a top hat, but he's an rear end in a top hat with a good moral center, the kind who does the right thing, but will not hesitate to crush some rich dicks mansion in the process. Or rich dicks mars base in this case.

As long as you haven't even peripherally and willfully helped demons Doomguy will probably at least let you live.

Kibayasu posted:As long as you haven't even peripherally and willfully helped demons Doomguy will probably at least let you live. I mean Doomguy hasn't killed Hayden yet and Hayden is semi-responsible for this poo poo happening to begin with. Even if you did help the demons if by the time Doomguy reaches you, you are prepared to go the other way and help Doomguy kill the demons, he isn't going to just waste you.

Well hayden is helping, and now VEGAs disabled hes the only support, so he gets to live, for now.

Hayden's complicit, but even when Doomguy was busting up the Argent power generators that Hayden wanted to keep because they solved a lot of Earth's problems, he never actively stopped or impaired Doomguy's mission of kicking Hell's rear end off of Mars. As long as he doesn't pull an Olivia or otherwise clearly stand in Doomguy's way of making Hell pay, there are bigger fish to fry.

Keeping in mind that I haven't played Eternal and don't know what goes on there: Hayden is super sus to me in that he's got an other quality that's unsettling. I'm not reading into that too much because I'm only just a bit ahead the thread atm, since there's time left for the inevitable twist and/or sequel hook. Doomguy preserving VEGA was my favorite thing in this game, hands down.

I'm not reading into that too much because I'm only just a bit ahead the thread atm, since there's time left for the inevitable twist and/or sequel hook. Oh, I absolutely don't trust Hayden either. He really hits that "anything is justified in the name of science" feel, trying to justify his actions with claims that it was "for the good of humanity." He feels like the kind of guy who would say "the most efficient way to keep modern society stable is to feed orphans into a wood chipper on a daily basis" is an acceptable step. The kind of guy who looks at the rituals in the Fatal Frame games and says, "yes, torturing this one person for eternity is a perfectly valid option that could in no way backfire, I will cease any attempts to find alternative methods." The kind of guy who thinks Lobotomy Corporation (the corporation, not the game) is a good idea. I don't like Hayden and I want him to end up a boss in Eternal, is what I'm saying. edit: Also, despite my earlier remark that I prefer Doomguy not having much beyond RIP AND TEAR, yes, the thing with VEGA was great. azren fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Jan 11, 2021 |

Thus concludes this, Doomguy's modern opus. Look forward to Eternal starting hopefully same time next week!

I'm really glad you guys are going to cover Eternal, that game has some awesome fights.

Huh. There is actually a bunch of foreshadowing for Eternal there. It's also kind of interesting how the tablet describing the mastermind is referenced as E2M8 where it really should be E3M8? On the other hand, they refer to a "tower" which would fit E2M8 more... Seems like they didn't really know what to do with the reference. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jan 16, 2021 |

So lorewise Argent is not originally hell but fallen into it. So really what Hayden is doing with all of this extraction is stealing from the demons energy that THEY stole and corrupted in the first place from these Argent Wraiths.

Its that *and* hell has a huge amount of energy just floating about. I think eternal goes into it. The short of it is: Hell was created. It isnt natural.

They could have gone into it in a less tiresome way. To any writers reading this: its is fine for things to be 'just so' in a story, it does not need three thousand lore pages.

Talking about games that are similar to Doom 2016, given one of the avatars in this thread there is one game in recent memory that is very much like Doom 2016 and its even another game that was remade and is now identified by the year of its release, Shadow Warrior 2013. It has bigger versions of the some of the same flaws of Doom 2016 but also a lot of the same strengths in gameplay and character. Honestly its so close that considering that Doom 2016 reportedly began re-development in 2013 sometimes I think it was the direct inspiration.
