Welp, given that I've just completed the game, I figure I may as well share my thoughts...

Fucking. Awesome.

The story is a little flat but that is easily remedied through the in-game codex entries which provide a much better insight to the game's world and characters (should you sit down to read them all). But of course, who is playing it for the story?

I hold that DOOM 2016 is a tragedy.

I can already see many of you shaking your heads and moving to click away. No, no, don’t hit that back button yet. It’s not what you think! DOOM 2016 was a fantastic game. I loved every minute of it.

But it’s still a tragedy.

There, now that the title has caught your eye...

...Actually, no. That's the gist of it.

Played one game of the beta. Brady watched. Our consensus was the same: Absolute fucking shit.

Doom is not a "loadout" game.

I'll be waiting for campaign reviews before I purchase, because I got burned with Battlefront and Destiny when I ignored my first gut feelings during those betas.

First off, the multiplayer was trash.

Please be patient and resist your impulse buying, folks.

There is no reason Bethesda wants to deny access to the campaign a few days early to reviewers unless they didn't want to risk mediocre 6's and 7's getting out into the wild before Friday.

They're counting on people recklessly buying Day 1.

Looks like I'm waiting, and if I have to wait long enough, I'll rely on metacritic's user score, and that's the harshest mistress of all.

...until it is done.

Of course the problem arises when the solution our brain has put together for surviving Today actually comes in conflict with surviving Tomorrow.

Spot on, just spot on.

Maykr slayer?:

Yes please, I dig... maybe one day do something one day...

Oh goody.
Looks like we're about to leave the EU.
Yippee.

Well then...

This event should be celebrated.

They are rage, brutal, without mercy.
But you, my sister? You will be worse.

Ugh.

So far, Doom Eternal is what happens when you take an amazing, simple formula, and fuck with it just a little too much.

I started to get worried when id called this 'a thinking man's Doom'.

Doom Eternal completed on Normal, or "Hurt Me Plenty".

I finally, at last, got something of a flow going in the final level, only to have it broken again by a Marauder near the end.

The could not leave well enough alone. They just had to make a brainless update like this. Did any of you buy Doom? How do you feel about the update!

Exit: the Denuvo software I am talking about.

I have absolutely no qualms about eating my hat when my preconceptions about a game wind up being false.

Explain Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem to Twilight Sparkle.

I give it, ooh, maybe six hours of twitchy-eye and increasing mane disarrangement before she goes full "If I can't find a self-consistent universe, I'll make a self-consistent universe!"

Hello

If Luster Dawn were to go on a Tartarus-like Adventure down into the depths of the Demon Realm in "Luster's Knee Deep in the Dead," I hope I could at least describe several enemies that she and her friends would face, as pony-versions of themselves aside from those that will be mentioned in the Doom series.

Greetings everyone, Thule117 here, just wanted to make a few announcements regarding my story going forward. Particularly how I plan to handle the lore of the coming Doom Eternal. As some of you are likely aware, ID Software has stated that they plan to do a bit more storytelling with Doom Eternal and expand on the lore of the Doom universe. Now, as to what that means for Guardian my plan is quite simple: I'm largely going to ignore it. I know I probably do not need to tell you all this,
