roadworx Posted June 12 The direction that nu-id is taking the series in SUCKS!!! The original DooM games were VERY SERIOUS GAMES for VERY SERIOUS PEOPLE!!!! They were thoroughly grounded in reality and were horror masterpieces rivaled only by the likes of Resident Evil 5 and Silent Hill Downpour, but this new FAKE DooM is over the top and stupid. It's way too edgy and cartoonish (neither of which could describe the first games, nosireedoo), and the soundtrack is simply far too metal for this franchise. Classic DooM had elevator music, not metal! Why is there metal in the new games! WHY!!!!! The worst part, however, is the lore. People always say that it doesn't matter much because it's all skippable, BUT I PLAY DOOM FOR THE STORY!!!!! DooM is known for its rich, intricate lore, and nu-DooM should be no exception that that. Yet, it is! Why!!! I went in expecting one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever told, but I came out feeling disgusted with the world. Now, with this new entry, it looks like it'll be in medieval times. BUT THERE WERE NEVER ANY CASTLES IN DOOM!!!!!! It has exclusively been techbases and hell throughout the entire series, with absolutely no deviation whatsoever. Castles were only ever in some other game id software released in 1996, but as it didn't follow my exact idea of what a game by id software should be, it was atrocious and wound up falling into obscurity. Anyways, despite how much I despise these new games, I'm gonna buy The Dark Ages when it comes out and endlessly complain about how awful I think it is. What about you guys? 17 Share this post Link to post
Lucius Wooding Posted June 12 There were castles in the Wolfenstein levels in Doom 2 though. We just don't see them from the outside. But I applaud you for making this thread. Clearly the threads shitting on the new entry from above, below, and both sides aren't enough. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shepardus Posted June 12 "Doom: The Dork Ages" sounds like a coming of age story about Doomguy as an awkward schoolboy. 19 Share this post Link to post

Weaseln_hecktor Posted June 12 Like honestly I think that they should just stop making doom games. Like we get how badass doomguy is and that he can't get over his dead rabbit, but the story of doom is a pretty flat concept after a couple games. I feel like the more modern games are violence just for the purpose of violence. Who really enjoys that? Kids with anger issues? The games WERE great, and I think that even Doom 64 could have been a great ending for the series, but there is a time where enough is enough you know? Like what is the massage of this game and what is worth killing more? There has got to be a better reason for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Beginner Posted June 12 2 hours ago, roadworx said: The direction that nu-id is taking the series in SUCKS!!! I agree. Newest installment should've been Doom 3-2: Demonic Boogaloo and trailer's footage is certainly too bright for that. They should make it dark as fuck and give player a variety of portable light sources (torches, lanterns, projectors, flashlights, etc.) with their own pros and cons and constantly have player switch them to fit the situation. 59 minutes ago, Astar said: What about S*X in new games? Adding sux is fairly easy and they can do it in DLCs, like TAG's plot. Not sure about sox tho, Doomslayer's always wearing boots so they would be obscured. 3 Share this post Link to post

Worst of all, my son, James "Jimmy" Paddock, has been negatively affected by the brutal depictions of gore in the game...it was only two weeks ago that I got a call home from school saying that he had punched all of the blood out of another student. I've grounded him since then - no more DooM for him! Edited June 12 by roadworx 3 Share this post Link to post
Li'l devil Posted June 12 This reminds me how back in 2016 when the reboot came out I made a thread called "I don't care about the new Doom!", where I expressed just that. It was helled quickly, of course. 0 Share this post Link to post
