Doom

They're calling it DOOM, but clearly it's a new Heretic game.

Well the shield looks like a fun mechanic. Looking forward to this. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are some of the best first-person shooters of the last decade so I'm expecting this to kick some ass as well.

I got Doom 2016 and had barely started it when Doom Eternal came out. I made the choice to play Eternal instead of 2016.

Now that I’ve beaten Eternal, and all the dlc, I’m going back to play 2016.

my impression is that though Doom 2016 is an excellent game and very much scratches the Doom itch, Doom Eternal is noticeably slicker and more polished.

The further development of glory kills and now, with Dark Ages, the focus on up-close/melee combat is something I support.

Do I like plowing through demons with guns? Yes.

Do I like plowing through demons with a sword and a hammer? Yes.

Will I like plowing through demons with a bladed shield and a morning star?

Sounds like a good time.

I LOVED that game back in the day...

Me too

I used to get frustrated because it crashed frequently while playing with it, never knew if it was a memory issue or if my disc was damaged.

Anyway... awesome game!

[ImpendingDoomguy]

Uuuugghhh!

such a frustration.

When Doom II came out for the Macintosh, ‘96-‘97, I bought a copy from the university bookstore at the college where I was a student.

I spent many nights in the computer lab listening to TDS and playing Doom II.

then, decades later, Doom Eternal came out.

What a game. F-ing Marauders. Those damned dogs. Marauders wouldn’t be so hard if it wasn’t for those damned dogs.

Easily one of the best games on the Switch.

That one I have gotten all the way through, including Ancient Gods 1&2.

So looking forward to Dark Ages.

I used to blast "Broken" while playing, but it's a matter of personal taste...

Downward Spiral was the only one I had at the time.

It was quite suitable.

In recent years, I haven’t really listened to outside music while playing DOOM.

Maybe I should do it just for kicks.

that might be pretty fun; doing a marathon combination NIN catalog listening and DOOM playing session.

Or, you know, a playlist to accompany playing DOOM.

interesting idea, if you ask me.

I, for some reason, just never played the DOOM games growing up, but I always knew about them and had my fair share of experience with a lot of knock-offs ... but when I got my Switch in 2020, it kind of became my DOOM machine, there for a bit with how much I was playing the original DOOM and DOOM 64. Made me really love the franchise a lot and I adored playing DOOM (2016) on my PS4, too around that time. DOOM 3 is fine, but I couldn't really get into DOOM: Eternal.

And with all those DOOM games, I still never tried out DOOM II! Finally beat it the other day and going to jump more into the other versions on the latest update.

I agree, at the time there was only the 90's NIN albums available, but now i wonder how the game would "sound" with Ghosts I-IV, Year Zero or even Hesitation Marks...

I used to play the Alien 3 soundtrack while playing Doom - quite effective!

[versusreality]

I remember my older cousin playing Pretty Hate Machine while playing Doom...quite interesting and awesome how pre-internet days, NIN fans had the same idea

[ImpendingDoomguy]

Maybe there’s something about NIN that makes it particularly fitting for the experience?

Maybe the NIN makes you feel stronger when you play.

Like Popeye and spinach.

Yeah.

Ghosts is a really good idea. I bet that would be something.

With how NIN has changed over the years, I also wonder how it would all play with DOOM, not just the stuff we had at the time.
