Duke of Pathoris

This game is pretty fucking ebin. Even my mum is playing it and that says a lot.

Are you sure that was Corvus? It seemed like a germanic mage more than Corvus.

I don't know, the classic design doesn't seem to have transitioned well. It's still an angry cow, yes, but it has a lot less bulk. Maybe it's less of a boss now.

I think Doom's hell is ruled by Lucifer or some angel from heaven.

Unless he's the new Samuel Hayden, telling us what to do. But I doubt Slayer would take orders.

It didn't harm Wolfenstein TNO. As mentioned earlier, if you want modern/classic multiplayer FPS, play Quake Champions. Then again, I don't do multiplayer so I'm not disappointed. Nonetheless, it's a shame to see it dropped from the franchise that invented deathmatch. I guess id just knows its strengths.

I think he means it's inoffensive socially/religiously/politically instead of it's clean and not morbid.

Some people just want to be offended.

I agree. It was let down a lot by the shooting and movement. I can't put my finger on what I dislike about it but it just feels wrong for any game.

I doubt it would be a multiverse, rather a spiritual merging of elements of the id classics with a Doom coat of paint. But yeah, one of the snake like enemies reminds me of the ophidians from Heretic and I get massive Quake vibes from this.

I never thought of that. You could very well be right!

Just a thought, what if the pistol is mapped to a button the same way chainsaw and BFG were in 2016?

First I came to forgive, now I am here to fight. I have come again in glory to judge the living and the undead and my kingdom shall have no end.

At the moment, I think I prefer the 2016 Cybie but if this apparently called "Tyrant" is a mini-boss that just shoots rockets instead of all those other extra features, I think it would have a valuable role as a powerful mini-boss. I whole heartedly agree. DOOM 2016 was an amazing game that's for sure and it really balanced old and new quite well but it felt a bit restrained to me. It felt like, although gameplay was top-notch and classic-inspired that the level design and the aesthetics were forced to conform more to the norm of a modern FPS. 2016 was the compromise between old and new but I feel Eternal will be the Doom game that every fan had dreamt of since 3D models became a thing.

Yeah it does make me feel a bit uneasy. I find the plot really reflects the issues at the time. The 90s were rather optimistic but we risked destroying ourselves with our technology. Now our energy generation is a danger to ourselves. I think it's a clever reflection. As for Hell, is it not possible that Hell *is* just a fucked up dimension? Is it not possible that this Hell has nothing to do with the Christian Hell? After all, we never see the Devil, no fallen angels. All we see are these monsters.
