MTF Sergeant Posted December 23, 2016 Now, I'm asking this question to the REAL Doom fans out there. Of course, there are a shit ton of videogame fans who take their main characters as legendary dudes or gods. Is it same for Doom as well? Do you guys just appreciate Doomguy, or do you consider him as a real God, and if you do, for what reason? 0 Share this post Link to post
Voros Posted December 23, 2016 Doomguy is a guy who knows how to fight. That's why he is Doomguy. He's just good at what he does. Doesn't mean he's a god. Well, that fact does not apply when degreelessness mode is on. 0 Share this post Link to post
Officer D Posted December 23, 2016 "a real God" ? So basically you're asking if anybody is taking this game a bit to serious? 0 Share this post Link to post

MFG38 Posted December 23, 2016 Nah. To me, Doomguy is just a more-badass-than-usual space marine. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted December 23, 2016 It's a well-known fact that Doomguy is in fact Jesus Christ re-incarnate, fighting Evil in its most literal meaning. PROOF: http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/ac1394dbdcca6a36cbf486633b129cd813095ac3/r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/USATODAY/USATODAY/2013/03/30/shroud2-4_3.jpg 0 Share this post Link to post
Zapzop Posted December 23, 2016 Of course he is not a god. He is just a guy. Coming back from hell after dying on E1M8's teleporter doesn't make him a god. Ya know, a soul is immortal. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted December 23, 2016 Like most every player character in a video game, Doomguy has achieved CHIM. He is a God because he can savescum and cheat and make tool-assisted perfect runs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Meh, at least in my headcannon, Doomslayer = Doomguy, just thousands of years apart. It was pretty heavily implied in New Doom to be the case. Also my "him being a demon" thing kinda has merit for classic Doomguy, as well as (obviously) Doomslayer. How else could you sprint around at Mach 5, carry 7 guns, use demonic powerups, and do all the amazing shit you can do in Doom 1 / 2? 0 Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted December 23, 2016 According to the 3rd Slayer Testament, Spoiler the seraphim bestowed upon him terrible power and speed. I looked it up and seraphim actually means "an angelic being, regarded in traditional Christian angelology as belonging to the highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy, associated with light, ardor, and purity" So, by Doom 2016 lore at least, he was granted power by God's highest order of angel to defeat the forces of Hell? Because that sounds pretty awesome 0 Share this post Link to post
Pencil of Doom Posted December 23, 2016 As a god, no, but as a legendary, yes, because, the Marine is manly, fights against evil, is fearless, has emotions(his pet rabbit Daisy), doesn't question anything, is a formidable combatent, has excellent knownledge on using weapons, tools, protection suits, armor and gadgets like the Light Amp. Goggles, is capable of defeating entities bigger than a human like the Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind, can withstand hell magic from hell's minions like Imps, Arch-Viles, Hell Knights, etc., can absorb powerups like the Soulsphere, Partial Invisibility and use them against Hell, is resourceful, being able to carry lots of ammo and much more, but that's about it. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted December 23, 2016 There are only two gods in Doom: 1) The real mastermind (not a tangible monster) behind all invasion in all wads. You never get to reach it but it's there. Otherwise there would be no demons in Doom. 2) The benevolent god who places items and such goodies to help you survive. It's really a binary thing here in Doom, and a perfect balance, like an yin-yang. Notice how all moving things (well, except multiplayer) belong to the evil god, whereas the stationary ones (let's exclude decorations as mere walls...) are good. I'd love to see a mod where Doomguy betrays to be evil, or transcends to godhood. But I suppose that requires too much graphic skill. 0 Share this post Link to post

I too believe this, but Doomguy was a regular marine who fought Hell to save mankind. Now thousands of years staying in another dimension, with Hell's and the Sentinel's influence over Doomguy, with different people and his own son's perversion by the demons, I don't think Doomguy fights hell to save people. Atleast not directly (by killling demons, he's indirectly saving people, but I don't think that's his goal in mind). Doomslayer is his new name, for he is a new man with a fresh outlook on things. He is just plain pissed at the demons and people who think involving demons is a good idea. I'm just saying that Doomslayer and Doomguy are probably so different from each other now, that they can be considered as two different people. 0 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted December 24, 2016 Classic Doom? Merely a very tough mortal being. DOOM 2016? Demigod or at least an extremely tough humanoid. 0 Share this post Link to post
CyberDemonEmpress Posted December 24, 2016 Yes. I worship doomguy as a god I think he was a real guy, and the Doom games are based on a real story about his ascension to godhood. And that part of his spirit inhabits every physical and digital copy of Doom. I also read the Doom bible cover to cover everyday. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arl Posted December 24, 2016 I think the Doomguy is more a product of the fandom than a character created by the developers of the game. Back in the day, at least for me, there was no such thing as a Doomguy, just you (the player) and Doom (the game). 0 Share this post Link to post
MaeveOfSwords Posted December 24, 2016 Doom Guy is a nobody, a generic meat shell steered by a consciousness...yours. Any godliness of the Doom Guy is really that of the player...so, we are all gods? 0 Share this post Link to post
