What the fuck happened? I mean really
Where did Doomguy get teleported?
How did he get his Doom fortress?
How did he lose his super shotgun?
How Hayden ended up trashed?
What the fuck happened? I mean really
yes
I just watched 33 minutes of DOOM Eternal gameplay and it is fucking TERRIBLE. It opens with some 39y/o boomer that looks like he was ripped STRAIGHT outta Gears Of War who's spouting a bunch of cryptic bullshit about how 'you'll never REALLY defeat the demons!' And it's a hubworld so you have to go pow-wow with this cunt between every level.
Cue the descent into 'hell,' which is just Bowser's Castle from from fucking Super Mario Bros-- not even joking, the floor is lava, there's ZERO shooting, just a bunch of shitty platforming, jumping between floating hexagons and dodging spinning flails.
There are glowing gymnast bars everywhere that you're expected to spin around and jump off of like a fuckin ballerina, and there's sections where you have to climb walls like fucking Catwoman-- complete with a cute little 'claw-hand' animation, you almost expect to hear Doomguy start hissing 'cause he's a BAD KITTY (˵Φ ω Φ˵)
When you finally start killing demons? They explode into a bunch of pink, purple and green candy pieces. Is it a demonic beast or a fucking PEZ dispenser? Following every battle, LOOK AROUND, you'll notice that there's ZERO blood, ZERO gore, ZERO bodies, they're SCARED to show you any gore for more than a split second.
The UI is gay as fuck, it's drenched in neon, the inspo for this shit struck the programmer when he was at a fucking Pride Parade for sure. There's some WAY over complicated upgrade system, it looks like a fucking RPG. I want to shoot demons, not meticulously plan my fucking build order. The whole art direction is so different from DOOM'16, it's not even reasonable sci-fi anymore, it seriously looks like a fucking Nintendo game.
The whole thing is filled with cartoony bullshit, you can get extra lives, the health pickups are giant bottles of grape soda, kill a Cacodemon and its eye pops out with a sound effect that belongs in fuckin Looney Tunes, etc
The entire thing looks gay as fuck. You're not seriously buying this shit are you?
holy based

All that shit happened between Doom 64 and 2016.
it's essentially a bethesda property now, and it shows.
Whats the plot anyways?
>excellent game that runs well with little to no bugs
Huh?
Hayden personally led an all-or-nothing attack on the demon's ground zero invasion point after all his other plans failed. This one also went disastrously wrong and his body was mauled to the point we see in the game.
Fuck knows for the rest.
>excellent
no. shit platforming, shit forced mechanics (chainsaw mandatory now), shit punch strength, shit story, shit tutorials. it's just shit
The gap between Doom 2016 and Eternal will be part of the DLC levels
The real question: why doesn't Satan just kill Doomguy? I know the demons have pretty much won in every Doom game, but still. If Doomguy's such a problem, why doesn't the big guy just stomp on him?
xD
Imagine being this tasteless.
None of the two years explain where doomguy wasbetween 2016 and Eternal.
Bethesda is lowkey setting up a sidequel about Doomguy's adventures during that time
>contrarian faggots eternally seething
Lmfao
its probably gonna be part of the planned doom eternal DLC
OST release when?
I've only heard the lawnmower track.
Why would they include answers to story questions in the main game when they can use that as a selling point for DLC?
You overestimate Bethesda. DLC will consist of new master levels and probably a couple side missions that take place on Earth.
They'll make the intervening two years an entirely new game.
Woah you really think Satan can kill Doomguy without weakening him first? Let's be honest here it's better to send the minions out to deal damage to Doomguy lowering his defense and health while I come out at the end to kill Doomguy off.
nah Hugo Martin said on the joe rogan podcast that its gonna be story DLC starring doomguy
basado
>Hugo Martin said on the joe rogan podcast that its gonna be story DLC starring doomguy
Thanks for the info user, but everything about that sentence hurt me
why specifically
>I just watched
Kill yourself
In-universe reason: Because he's protected by the Sentinels, who are kind of a celestial police force who makes sure that both Heaven and Hell play by the rules.
Pft. First DLC will be about a strongk womyn saving her lesbian lover
Second dlc involves some black guy who kills demons for air jordans or someshit.
You are out of your mind if you think that the dlc for this game will handled any better than TNC
literally see the post i JUST made
ancient aliens
I Thought the OP's image was a bionicle at first glance.
SMACK MY BITCH UP
CHANGE MY PITCH UP
VEGA found a way
aliens corrupted by hell sacrificing humanity in order to power their batteries
but it does run well
*sigh* SOMEHOW, demons have returned
it absolutely does, i won't deny it. additionally, it does look good. maybe that's why i'm so pissed the gameplay sucks. i really wanted to enjoy it.
Samuel hayden stole an alien AI named vega from the dominate species of the universe. This caused them to make stupid ass choices because the Matriarch was never kicked out after her term so her mind fell apart which makes her do desperate choices to prevent degredation of her species instead of rational choices. She then convinces another species of warrior like humans to do some stupid shit so hell could spread and create a new energy source. She makes a deal with the lords of hell for this energy in exchange for worlds to expand hell territory. The night sentinels are destroyed because one of their kid's is killed and "the betrayer" makes a deal to revive the kid which ends up making him the ICON OF SIN. Doom guy survives the betrayel, doom 2016 happens eventually, and then your job is to save earth from the aliens (angels) and the forces of hell.
How will that play out now since he broke the sacred grounds by killing Priest on Sentinel grounds and they became hostile? He is no longer protected
i wonder what your 10/10 is, it's either
>shit obscure game for nostalgia fags like Psychonauts
>shit obscure JRPG where band of teenagers beat god because church is evil
>Where did he go
Play the DLC to find out
>Fortress
Same
>lose shotgun
It's his OG one, he apparently modified it when on Sentinel Prime. He lost it when they dropped the Blood Temple on him and have been keeping it because they wanted to melt it down in front of him and then pour it into his open stomach and gild his entrails with it.
>Hayden trashed
Lore tells you, he was part of a huge battle and got overwhelmed by demons and they tore him in half. ARC barely managed to drag him back to the facility and hook him into life support.
Wasn't reading much of codex cards, just felt like I skipped one game in series the way Eternal plays out. We literally stopped Olivia from fucking shit up and nothing in 2016 hints at invasion yet everything is fucked up at start of Eternal. Guess it was inevitable the way DOOM and DOOM 2 played out as well but still, feels kinda sudden.
Should the wacky space adventures of doomslayer be DLC or a third game?
Aren't they fucking themselves over with an interquel? We'll end up with another Metroid tier "shit happens and you lose all your equipment"
The point of the Mars invasion, was to remove the seal of Earth. Earth was always the goal and the Maykr knew about it thanks to the Slayer. They had actually forgotten that they had sent out Sentinels to colonize that area of space.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT JUST TAKE AWAY MY CONTROL OF THE ICON OF SIN!
OH NO THE MAGIC THAT PREVENTS DEMONS FROM COMING HERE IS BROKEN
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it doesn't matter what 10/10 game they respond with, you'll shit on it all the same.
to be fair when the sentinels took to space they just kind of just shot off into every direction imaginable to bring the good word in mass.
Hayden probably got fucked up by the Khan Mayker for trying to take her argent energy and helping Doomguy centuries ago back when he himself was a former Mayker
Hayden was never a makyr, but vega was
man that's a pretty convoluted story for a game about nonstop shooting demons in the face
is that a... a tranny android? ...why?
exactly this. they're taking themselves way too seriously, and it really shits on the end product.
I don't know, it feels like we skipped a game worth of story because the writers decided to take the Dark Souls approach and trickle info to the player of past events rather than let us experience them first hand.
VEGA is Father, which was the AI that created Urdak and the Maykr. Hayden, is Samur, the Seraphim. It actually makes a lot of sense now, Samuel is Son of God and it's pretty much confirmed that Urdak thought of itself as Heaven and spread it's teachings in a religious manner. Because of the Sentinel colonizing Earth and becoming humanity, the whole naming scheme of EL being god would obviously be known to Samur. Given what the Khan says about the Slayer being no longer mortal and how Urdak let him into the building with calling out Seraphim, it's most likely that the divinity machine can't just grant it, it requires a transfer. Samur transferred his divinity to Doomguy and became Mortal and either disguised himself as a human or created a new body for himself to blend in.
>I'M A GENIUS
>OH NO
I don't know man it almost seems like the devs started hating Doom 2016 after it was done
Plot threads are just ignored and new ones are introduced as if there had never been a prequel to Eternal
The crucible was the most hype thing in 2016 but turned out into a huge disappointment in Eternal
VEGA being your ship AI was cool but then had to be sacrificed again and this time for real
Also you never got to pilot one of the mechs that were shown so much in the preview material, you even got one in your fortress but that's just a cock tease as well
What happened with this game?
It is all background story you find in lore pages. The main story even with cutscenes is just "save earth"
Trannies are evil beings pretending to be good
Just started the cultist base map, and the story-related stuff makes you infer some interesting things about the setting
>base was a sentinel outpost
which means that Earth was previously settled by the sentinels in this version of the doom universe
>all sorts of giant demon skeletons
so earth has some integral tie to hell also
>second Hell Priest is high up in the UAC
which explains the fixation on cultist activity
>second Hell Priest also comes from the sentinels
which implies some sort of intertwined development of both cultures
She is an alien wearing decorative armor to hide the corruption of her physical body.
It explains why Hayden was able to get everyone on board with the Argent energy so quickly. Dude wanted to try and save a planet instead of destroying it like all the Maykers do.
Wait VEGA is gone for real? I somehow missed that, he's stuck in Urdak?
yeah I guess he's technically still alive, as much as an AI can be at least, but you leave his core behind on Urdak after inserting it into the first ring array
maybe we'll see him again in the sequel in 4 years
All of that is explained through codex entries; just keep playing.
Unless Doomguy saved another backup Vega is stuck on Urdak. Kind of ironic considering he made it back when he was the Father.
>AI left behind
>Ring Array
C-Cortana? I thought you were gonna blow High Charity up?
VEGA will take direct control of one of the Maykr drones
Not enough coombait for ya?
even if Urdak and Vega survive, it seems like he was in the middle of regaining his old consciousness as the Father, so he'll probably lose his Vega personality completely next time we see him
I can't help but think that it was a little of getting back at the current Khan as well. He probably wanted to be Khan and was salty about not being selected. He says to Doomguy that if Urdak was under better management, it wouldn't have happened. So he obviously feels like he was more fit for the job. He really was Satan. He just ended up being more of the Lightbringer kind, instead of the jealous of humanity kind.
>sequel in 4 years
>4 years
Doomguy being a cuck and saving an Earth that isn't the same one he came from
Would be kind of funny for Father to be super pissed at Hayden and going after him, so we have to fight against Father and maybe what ever being created him.
noooooo you cant just stop hell from taking over your planet!
I hope not. He's such a bro
>that part where he understood without words that you wanted to use the BFG 10000, and went along with it in spite of how ridiculous it was
which codex talks about VEGA being the father? maybe that's why Doomguy backed up VEGA in 2016 in first place?
Well, he already saved that Earth. So going and saving more Earths is just icing on the cake.
