Davoth isn’t the “G”od of this universe. Martin already implied there are others. And the World Spear is the first hint

Mars Core was a fun map. Very excited to see a Master Level based on it

Yeah it’s confusing. Hugo once said it’s not a multiverse, then said he might have a different definition on multiverse https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/jf1l3c/comment/g9hvef4/ so who knows

Holy crap I didn’t know that.... haha wow

Man, Hugo comes across as a dude you just want to have a beer with

Doomworld’s small size is what saves it from being like the other sites. Thank your lucky stars for that. it’s not a Doom phenomenon, it’s a scale problem. Once you have a large enough mass of people, a group of them will gravitate towards and idea and protect that idea at all costs because they tie their identity to it....and then that idea begins to infect all around it. Just like everything else in life. Religion, sports clubs, computer hardware, politics. It’s humans being humans.

Cool artist. Reminds me of the great Beksinski

Holy wall of text, Batman. paragraphs!!!

Nice. That actually puts my mind at rest.... I like it when people own up to mistakes and are honest about where they dropped the ball. cool with me. I still have questions but now I know the answers are just because they didn’t think everything through clearly enough

But I do also want to know why the Dark Lord was such a C U Next Tuesday. I mean he wanted what was best for his people. He was a god. Had his toys taken away then did everything possible to torture beings to death and beyond across all the dimensions. Even complete innocents.... People who had no idea about what had happened. Why? They should have called him Edge Lord

Just give me more horror in the next game, please. not body horror/torture. That’s boring. Give me Cosmic level Lovecraftian shit. I want to be a gibbering mess when done

ripper. Ta for the vids.

Care to share?

Meathook, glory kills, ice bomb, triple rocket blast, beast of a chain gun, weapon mods, enemy weak points, double dash, in air control, verticality of combat These are the things I like about New Doom (not all apply to 2016 obviously)

Grammar check... "reverted back" should just be reverted :) They mean the same thing. Same with "reverse back" or "exactly the same". okay, carry on as normal... :)

Thanks for that. Very interesting. So I guess the story continues, like a Matryoshka doll, we just keep fighting what's bigger and badder

Man those streams are long. Can you link to where he said it?

I don’t think being “bad” is horror. Well, not to me. Horror is a specific genre with specific characteristics. None of which are in Doom

Of course. It’s an opinion, that’s what opinions are

This x 1million the series became too restrictive

yeah the soundtrack in TAG2 was great

I can't answer for others, but I never said it was bad for DOOM. I'm more concerned about games trying to do too much. Jack of all trades and master of none... Robots take away the horror aspect, unless it's done like SOMA. Intra-combat platforming is fine, but I don't enjoy the platforming in between Arenas. Using the meet-hook to swing through the Arena is fun. Grabbing yellow sticks that don't fit into the world feels weird. Giant flaming swinging bars I still laugh at.

My bigger questions are (and I have lots of smaller ones) - If Davoth is the uber creator, how does he get stuck in a realm? Like he's supposed to be lord of all, but gets locked inside one of his house whilst his kids run around outside ruling the world. - if Davoth loved his creations so much, what's with demonology and torturing wanting to "bathe in blood" and generally trying to inflict pain on everyone, including those that didn't hurt him or know anything - Why didn't Davoth recruit the Slayer... explain a few things, show him he's boss, then say let's take back Creation - Why isn't all of Hell technologically advanced? Good stories answer questions and also leave questions unanswered. That's fine. But this story doesn't even bother answering any of the questions it asks. Everything is unanswered.

I haven't seen anyone hate him on this forum, anyway. No idea about the cesspool that is Reddit and Twitter can die in a fire (there's some real hate right there). But nothing wrong with calling out the mistakes we think he's made.
