The Doommer

Yeah I get that Was just curious if it really made any change to wad experiences.

Barely tbh Sounded like a Doom 3 inspired game to me, given the horror aspect It was also wayy too cringe Regardless the new series will likely not be any good tbh, unless the director is a big doom fan.

What does it change if freelook is used tho? If doom came in like a few years after it would have it ig

I mean Doom is 3D, just limited. How would you justify heights in it if it was really 2D. or projectiles going up/down Honestly same, I don't recall a wad that'd be ruined with freelook. Except the sky but eh, that's texture nature in the engine

Hot take, but was Doom ever a horror title? There were some horror elements in the classics, but I never took them as horror games. Maybe some creepy shit but a horror game has to have terrifying vibes. That's why I don't like Doom 3 that much

It may be some spin-off, but I doubt it'll be the next big title

The Appledemon?

I fail to understand how it's not taking those too seriously. Sounds like to me it took a step into showing the darker aspects of the Nazis where no other game did that deeply afaik. Not sure about cartoon Josef Mengele tho, haven't played 3.0 chapter 3 yet. Not sure how he's portrayed.

I meant that the story doesn't matter to the game itself, not to the players who might like it.

It might be story-driven but the story doesn't matter. I don't believe iD even wanted it to matter.

Except that one time when he meets with you face to face, when did these happen? Even then, that face to face meeting can have you be distracted with the ammo and statues cause it's never a cutscene

I mean I remember Doom 2016 had the Slayer yeet/punch the monitor when Samuel Hayden wanted to provide his motivations etc It really doesn't care about the story and a lot of them are the Slayer facing a demon and doing cool things, not much of a cutscene of people talking. The dialogue can be ignored as mostly you don't need to hear much to know what you should do. Except maybe VEGA sometimes

Yeah I totally agree. Guess I just forgot. Been about at least 7 years since I played it. In a WW2 video game it also serves a historical purpose. I will make a topic on this specific game later and why I believe that specific part in chapter 3 could work really well if people were given a heads up about it beforehand. Thing is, Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are not really story-based. Yeah they have a story and a lore but they're not RDR2.

Neither do the classic Doom games. Who cares? People still love those games. Concentration camps are not really a politics topic tho, it is a messed up thing Nazis did back in the actual WW2. It's more history. Even then, you'd not be forced to engage in a politics-filled story like how TNC did it. No one really pays attention to the politics in that game, even if they are there. Cause they're not forced in your face.

Wish he would work on a mod for Doom that was based on Wolf 3D. Tho I do wanna know those mod names. Well there's also one big issue with how Wolfenstein 2 tries to comment on how Nazis act. Basically, when BJ hears of the NY nuke details, he goes to say "Monsters did this" then the female character goes "Not monsters, men." Like are y'all aware that this incident actually did happen IRL by the US on Japan? None one nuke either, but two? How are Nazis bad for nuking a city to stop a war, but not the US? Double standards all the way.
