Tell Me This is A Joke...

[FractalBeast]

If you ignore the DOOT DOOT meme, it looks like an obscure Revenant in-joke sprite that you'd find on a '90s Doom fansite. So I give it four out of five soul spheres.

I'm kind of interested in the shotgun skin, actually.

[Murdoch]

Yes how dare they have a sense of humour. Those monsters!

You're doing these types of posts wrong, do them more like how crazyflyingdonut or hardcore_gamer do it.

I am fine with the Doot Revenant but I worry about the slippery slope that can come from it.   I hope the skins will not devolve into stupid fortnite/hots skins.  Do we really want Pajama wearing Barons, lollipop king Marauders or a Santa Cause mancubus?

I would actually love a 'joke mode' that just gave everyone silly skins. Imps in Snorkeling gear! Tomato Cacodemons! Skateboarding Demons! If anything, it would give me more reason to buy the game, not less.

Besides, the DOOT Revenant is an optional bonus feature. Where's the harm in that? Better to have more fun bonuses than less.

I was wrong yet again. I just thought that it would have made Eternal a joke.

No please unless it is optional and I can turn specific skins off.  I really do not want to see them.  It is the primary thing that turned me off from a lot of games with childish skins.  It isn't about having a sense of humor or not - it just doesn't doesn't belong Doom.

But seriously I agree with Zemini. It would be best if it were optional for when you absolutely want immersive gameplay. Same goes for the pickups.

Hey, it's not funny to make jokes about us humorless Germans. We also can laugh - just look here:

Hargh hargh, tschuess wachhund... :)

[whatup876]

It's just a dumb skin based off an overused popular meme.

At least the meme is related to the series, although i prefer the agitated skeleton jokes.

Right? Kinda neat actually. I could care less about the Doot meme though. It doesn't bother me either way tbh, so i'm just neutral to it.

I did say optional bonuses. As long as they are optional, or fit the game already (like the shotgun skin), throw in as much fun stuff as possible :D

The shotgun skin is really nice, although it should have been in the game from the beginning.

That was for the soundtrack though. I agree that Doom not taking itself seriously is a good thing. :)

Please, if you would, show us on this doll where the memetic fanservice hurt you.

No I was just surprised, but didn't think when making the post. I'm sorry.

Edited June 20, 2019 by The-Heretic-Assassin : Reply I made was a mistake.

[leodoom85]

Cmon dude, it's just an innocent meme of an agitated, lovely monster that loves to punch you to death. I don't see the hurt in it or what triggers you. 

 

Best that you can do is just ignore it. Otherwise, you're the one turning itself to a meme.......

I'm just not a fan of memes, except the target audience charts and singleplayer vs multiplayer ones.

But considering you are a Doomworld meme, does this mean you are not a fan of yourself? Do you have some inner hatred for yourself we don't know about?

[leodoom85]

One more thing. A parody mod for Doom 2/Plutonia/TNT is already done...tell me if THIS is a joke.

Doom Eternal is a meme at this point.

By that logic, DOOM 2016 was also a meme.

Nail struck directly on the head. I mean. DOOM 2016's sense of humour already marked it as a series patently not taking itself seriously, embracing the memes for some completely optional DLC isn't going to do the franchise any harm. I argue the inverse; will probably build more goodwill among the fans in general (meaning: not sourpuss OP here) because, fuck it, we're all here for a good time. Right?

I'm not a meme, what are you talking about? I made a mistake, everyone does.

[scalliano]

Being a meme isn't so bad. I know - I was a ZDoom meme for the longest time.

You can make the argument that Doom has been a meme since CHOO CHOO HERE COMES THE NIGHT TRAIN. If you want serious FPS action, get id to reboot/split off some Q1 horror variant without the multiverse-arena concept.

Doom doesn't have to be serious. I mean, I love the Timesplitters series.
