the-dark-ages

[sonic turret]

According to m0no, the Spider Mastermind was the Dark Lord of the 2nd age, I think it so we're looking at the 1st age now.

[safe maple]

Oh

[sonic turret]

Potentially

[sage condor]

I didn’t know there were other dark lords

[sonic turret]

Unless the first age was when the Father overthrew Davoth.

[safe maple]

Probably a corrupt sentinel leader

[placid saffron]

2016 talked about multiple dark lords
There is only 1 THE Dark Lord though

[sage condor]

I gotta read the codexs again

[thorny juniper]

^^^

[sonic turret]

Davoth was the Dark Lord of the 3rd age, as I recall.

[soft turret]

There were multiple dark lords after davoth was sealed, but davoth is still the big bad since he steers things to his favor from the sphere.

[placid saffron]

Davoth was dark lord before hell became a real thing

Looooonggg before doom even became a thing

[sage condor]

When it was just Jakkad

If I spelt that right

[sonic turret]

He wasn't really a Dark Lord then, he was like......the Bright Lord.

[soft turret]

No, he is THE Dark Lord, the others are just beings who took the throne during his absence

[placid saffron]

He became a dark lord after vega's betrayal, also long before anything of doom happened

[sage condor]

I’m curious if we’ll see the slayer get crushed by the temple and sealed

[sonic turret]

So really Vega should be the 1st Dark Lord.

[placid saffron]

No because vega never ruled hell, hell wasn't a thing before the betrayal

[thorny juniper]

Lucina the lore master lowkey fw em heavy

[soft turret]

Prolly not, he got knocked out by the temple long after he got he praetor suit from the wretch, that sounds like a long time.

[placid saffron]

I was the loremaster before mono came along, i still remember the embers of #eternal-lore

[sonic turret]

No, m0no is the lore master.

[thorny juniper]

Real question is when the hell will the prophetic tree speak from doom 2016 come to light, assuming thats even still canon

[safe maple]

We could probably get interactions with the alien squid people(bare with me, i havent played in 2 years)

[thorny juniper]

Damn unfortunate

[sage condor]

I don’t remember much from 2016’s codex tbh

[placid saffron]

Never really read monos lore document either i probs should at some time. Idk i remember some discussion early on he made fanfic to fill in some holes instead of just writing that there are holes

[sonic turret]

But then some things that m0no says is different to what Hugo says, and Hugo's the one who can rewrite stuff if he wants.

[sage condor]

Hugo is the dark lord

[placid mist]

This will effect the trout population

[soft turret]

There are a lot of holes bc hugo was just free styling that shit lol

Let's not pretend this is some halo level sci-fi lore or something

[placid saffron]

Problem is is that some things hugo days just don't make sense. Lile the archevil stuff

[sonic turret]

Probably, after Romero got taken out inside the Icon of Sin.

[sonic turret]

What did he say?

[obsidian isle]

My big question is, who's composing this one? I doubt the soundtrack will have the same flare as eternal and 2016

[sage condor]

Yeah people make it out to be this big planned out shit from the start, Hugo is just like “yeah that’s cool put it in” and deals with the consequences later

[placid saffron]

Something about archevils only being able to kill archevils and doomguy was somehow God at Birth. Both of these just don't fit in the lore

Because like, ok maybe archevils can kill other archevils but then why can you just nake one whenevr?? Kinda defeats the point

[soft turret]

Isn't it primevals?

[safe maple]

Wasnt doomguy gifted the god powers?

[placid saffron]

Yes, i got the name wrong

[sonic turret]

Yeah, I think it was all a bit experimental at certain points and someone else mentioned that id had written themselves into a wall.

[safe maple]

By the divinity machine

[sage condor]

Yes

[placid saffron]

Yeah but in that case the whole "primevals can only kill primevals" is kinda mood if you can just.... make them

[ionic delta]

nah it kinda is the same flare, andrew and david.

[safe maple]

Ooh

[soft turret]

Yeah. Hugo kinda just started adding stuff because he thought it was cool, as long as it sounds cool, he fucks with it.

[sage condor]

Rule of cool

[soft turret]

There's no real consistency

[sonic turret]

But even though Hugo makes mistakes, I'd still find it difficult to dismiss his opinion since he pretty much has the final say as to what goes to press.

[thorny juniper]

I doubt the "making" process is easy. Could relate to if someone has the resillience to undergo the process.

[soft turret]

We don't even know how Davoth even created anything bc it is all so vague

[placid saffron]

Doomguy was still a normal human at birth so like

[soft turret]

Though m0no believes he did it with technology (I do too)

[obsidian isle]

Andrew and David are fantastic but they're no Mick Gordon

[sonic turret]

All I know is from Acid Glow, who's kinda like a lore master too.

[thorny juniper]

But clearly he had some sort of special aspects to him

[sonic turret]

I'm not a Mick Gordon fan.

[sage condor]

Also where the fuck do the Wraiths play into all this. Are they just VERY powerful beings or are they a product of another higher force

[placid saffron]

Yeah, skill. Nothing supernatural tough

[soft turret]

Even Acid has to write some fanfiction to make it work

[sonic turret]

I prefer Bobby Prince more than anyone else l.

[placid mist]

I mean yeah, 2016 implies that he gained his supernatural powers from the Seraphim iirc

[sage condor]

Cause even the Makyrs were confused by them at first

[ionic delta]

they did made it closer to it which I respect, yeah, it is unfortunate mick gordon's not in it.

[placid saffron]

They're definitely the product of "megagod" if we follow what tag2 is going towards

[soft turret]

We don't know, they're just fuck-off magical beings who crashed into argent d nur and gave it life

[sage condor]

The Grandfather lol

[obsidian isle]

Yeah, Bethesda and id kinda fumbled the bag with Mick

[thorny juniper]

I mean he dies and fights his way out of hell before any sort of divinity is bestowed on him. Not saying thats supernatural power but he clearly would be a good candidate for becoming a primevil

[soft turret]

He never dies

[thorny juniper]

Bro never played DOOM 1993

[placid saffron]

He dies in one of the OG doom gamed

[safe maple]

The indominable Human spirit

[thorny juniper]

Based

[placid saffron]

But if you die by a demon you get transmuted to hell like anyone else

[sage condor]

I imagine he would have to have been blessed in some way before the divinity machine power, just not in a physical way but in a fate way

[sonic turret]

I mean it is what it is, it's not Lovecraft and it's not Tolkein, they have to balance gameplay and tech with writing lore and they're not like the literary masters of yesteryear, they just do what they can.

[soft turret]

I did, I know what happens after you finish the game

[placid mist]

The power of your pet rabbit being killed

[hard thistle]

You think Doom 2016 can be available on Switch 2?

[misty knoll]

Incorrect. Doom Guy voluntarily paused living

[thorny juniper]

My point is, I dont think "anyone" can be made a primevil through the process. I think the individual must already have some sort of prowess or some aspect to let them go through it

[fallen crown]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-26CWF6_os This video contains the first interview with Hugo. The parts when they talka bout new doom are cut so you dont need to listen to the stuff nobody cares about, enjoy!

[thorny juniper]

Im not implying Doomguy had any powers prior to the divninity machine

[sage condor]

W

[placid saffron]

Still means anyone could aslong as they are trained enough

[umbral solstice]

peak incoming

[sage condor]

Ima watch it and return

Oh I already watched this

[soft turret]

You can still have great lore in an FPS game if you plan it out correctly, just look at the Halo games.

[thorny juniper]

If anyone can withstand potentially thousands+ years in hell yes

[sage condor]

But with the boring parts lol

[hard thistle]

thank u for sharing ❤️

[fallen crown]

not made by, all credit to QCP there

[soft turret]

Time most likely moves differently in Hell

[thorny juniper]

Absolutely

[sage condor]

It says so in the games no?

[thorny juniper]

I never disagreed with that

[sage condor]

Or is it just likely speculation

[placid saffron]

Hecwasn't in hell for a thousand years pre divinity machine. He ain't immortal as a human

[soft turret]

He was actually almost cooked when the sentinels found him lol

[safe maple]

Bro was crashing out over demon guts

[thorny juniper]

Never said he was immortal. He locks himself away in DOOM 64 and is found much much later by the Night Sentinels. Unless you think the slayer testaments entirely exaggerate the amount of time he was in hell then I dont see how you could disagree

I mean dont get me wrong, Im not a massive massive lore expert so I could be misunderstood on the timeline as well

[sage condor]

Also isn’t earth in the original games and earth in eternal different?

[placid saffron]

Isn't the slayer's testaments about after his time with the sentinels
Also, tag2 introduced unreliable narrators so yes they could 100% lie

[sonic turret]

I just feel that they sometimes get abut overexcited with the lore and leave plot holes, but it gives us something to talk about.

[sage condor]

And the whole solar system ig

[safe maple]

Maybe hell has a slower aging process?

[soft turret]

The Slayer's testaments mostly detail his time post divinity machine.

[wooden socket]

yeah its a different universe, theres just one hell so thats a why doomguy was able to arrive there

[sage condor]

Ok cool

[thorny juniper]

Hmm I suppose thats true considering Dark Ages would take place during the slayer testaments

[soft turret]

Yes, there's many earthly "realms" (universes), but only one Hell and Urdak

[safe maple]

What

[sonic turret]

Yeah, I mean they're the record of the dark ages.

[thorny juniper]

Im surprised it wasnt called "DOOM Testaments" or "DOOM Slayer Testaments" haha

[safe maple]

[sonic turret]

Dude stop

[sage condor]

Uh oh

[safe maple]

What in actual fuck😭

[sonic turret]

Blocked

[wooden socket]

I do think its true that the slayer fought in hell for a really long time, longer than any human could possibly live, not certain on the details of how he lives that long, but when the sentinels find him hes basically lost his mind

[safe maple]

Like i said, maybe hell has a slow aging process

[wooden socket]

he comes back to his senses a little bit before 2016 and eternal, along with no longer speaking, but hes still pretty angry obviously

[sage condor]

Oh no we’re being raided 😭

[sonic turret]

Dude I don't wanna be seeing penises on my screen.

[placid saffron]

That's a big if just to justify the headcanon of giving doomguy longevity pre-divinity machine

[sage condor]

Just block him

[sand wharf]

I feel like we need one of the <@&162901871168585728> here

[sage condor]

Do mods not exist or what

[placid saffron]

Don't give them attention, that only feeds the trolls

[hard thistle]

yo wtf

against TOS made me laugh though

[safe maple]

It could be a possibility cuz hell is a never ending torment, so it could make sense if living creatures that got trapped in hell would suffer longer

[soft turret]

Time in hell does most likely progress differently, but I doubt doomguy was in Hell as a human for more than 2 decades (which would go in line with him looking to he in his 40s - 50s in eternal)

[placid saffron]

You know what hurts them most? Not getting any fun interactions they can laugh about

[hard thistle]

<@&162901871168585728>

[sage condor]

Also just block them it’s easy and you won’t have to be jumpscared

[placid saffron]

Already pinged, more won't matter

[safe maple]

Mods sleeping on their job

[placid mist]

Imagine having a life

[safe maple]

[hard thistle]

I dont have a life

[placid saffron]

Me when the volunteer people aren't enslaved to 1 single server on their phone 24/7 😢

[hard thistle]

I would be a good mod

[safe maple]

Sadge

[sage condor]

lol

[safe maple]

[soft turret]

Time to get sent to Cuba, buddy

[safe maple]

Sell him to the Rwandan goverment

[worthy shard]

So basically Doom: The Dark Ages is now gobin slayer itself

[hard thistle]

paparico pls save us

[safe maple]

Ig

[hard thistle]

or bridgeburner idk

[oak temple]

the GOAT

[hard thistle]

anyone

[oak temple]

Love Hugo

[placid mist]

hugo martini

[fallen crown]

hugo boss

[safe maple]

Hugoat

[soft turret]

Hugo if he loved wine and cheese

[sage condor]

I would literally kill to be a play tester

[fallen crown]

ye, me too

[placid mist]

I would slay to be a play tester

[acoustic hazel]

What happened?

[sage condor]

Announcements are exciting but then you remember you have to actually wait for the game

[hard thistle]

nothing happen

[safe maple]

Jes gone

[hot lava]

https://tenor.com/view/coraline-dad-gif-typing-gif-18806780

Working on it

[hard thistle]

thank u ❤️

[worthy shard]

pretty sus

[acoustic hazel]

NSFW 😨

[thorny juniper]

You know its some real moderator work when they on mobile LMAO

[acoustic hazel]

Same

[safe maple]

Thank you moderator, for sacrificing your life

[hot lava]

Trying to watch a movie ffs lol

[soft turret]

Just forget about the game and the 12 months between now and release will pass in no time

[sonic turret]

What movie?

[thorny juniper]

Enjoy ur movie dawg

[hard thistle]

Is Switch 2 going to support Dark ages then?

[safe maple]

Real

[hot lava]

Late Night with the Devil about to start

[acoustic hazel]

Not good ☹️

[sonic turret]

I've just had a binge, I think I'm slipping into a food coma.

[sage condor]

Oh it’s 4:20 for me

[safe maple]

Same

Was supposed to sleep cuz im gonna see my grandma, but sleep schedule has been shit since start of summer

[sage condor]

Actually same except for grandma part

[exotic mural]

Just watched the trailer

[sage condor]

You like it?

[exotic mural]

Feeling mixed feelings

[sage condor]

Understandable

[exotic mural]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-right-gif-21942187

[worthy shard]

Very gobin slayer of it

[wooden socket]

im digging the fur cape

[prime drum]

i wonder why he didn't jump once

[safe maple]

Yeah

[safe maple]

Game might be more grounded then past games

[sage condor]

Slower game

Not in a bad way just different

[safe maple]

Its like og cod before they fucked up the movement

[prime drum]

i loved the fast paced intensity of eternal

[sage condor]

Imo at least

[wooden socket]

I wonder if we'll have to use the shield for puzzles, like bouncing it to hit a switch or something

[cold mango]

So divinity machine basically give slayer speed bust

[safe maple]

Its probably gonna be as fast as 2016

[placid saffron]

And biological immortality, and a small strength boost

[worthy shard]

from a long range who knows

[whole hinge]

I want it NOW

[sage condor]

Yeah but I don’t want them to make Eternal two Now there is wall running

[cold mango]

Because that slayer already overhelm hell

[whole hinge]

You think the games before or after the divinity machine or maybe has both

[prime drum]

wall running would be dope lol

[placid saffron]

Post it seems, with having the whole fort n stuff

[safe maple]

Shi, id play its, cuz i fw titanfall

[whole hinge]

What fort

[prime drum]

either way i'm playing this game

[sage condor]

Titanfall 2 is one of my favorite games

[placid saffron]

If it's inbetween the gameplay would most likely have a major shift halfway through which would be really annoying if it's a skill based game like eternal

[dapper sable]

HOLY MOLY

I JUST SAW THE TRAILER

[whole hinge]

Or maybe it starts right after with like a cinematic of the machine

[sage condor]

You like it?

[safe maple]

TF2 is severely underrated

[worthy shard]

[cold mango]

Slayer look like immortal. He crush the earth. Which mortal do that ?

[sage condor]

He is lol

[safe maple]

Loved TF2 so much that i plat it

[prime drum]

i wonder if this game will come before GTA VI

[sage condor]

Practically

[whole hinge]

It will.

[prime drum]

lol

[sage condor]

We got 3 new doom games before gta6

[safe maple]

Yeah

We got the slayer in forrnite before gta6

[fallen crown]

well, you don't know that yet!

[cold mango]

Its look like fps god of war

[sage condor]

Quite yet

[placid saffron]

Actually, iirc taras nabad was the first demon attack and he was divinitied during that time so it's 100% after

[cold mango]

Wear tech shield

[fallen crown]

only fire, when i tell you to fire

[cold mango]

No axe but shotgun etc

[worthy shard]

maybe because he too angry to die or it's the Praetor Suit he wearing is nearly impenetrable

[sage condor]

I wonder if the Ballista will be in the game

It would make since

[safe maple]

Hope we get more melees, the slayer with an axe or whip would be sick

[sage condor]

But idk if ID likes rehashing weapons like that

[sage condor]

Yeah

I hope glory kills make a return in some form at least

[safe maple]

They are

[placid saffron]

Wouldn't make sense to remove that

[safe maple]

Hugo said that there will be more freedom on the way you take out demons

[worthy shard]

Like that one Marauder has?

[safe maple]

Yeah

Spear could work too

[cold mango]

Slayer look like marauder with steroid

[atomic marsh]

skull gun goes hard

[sage condor]

I find it funny that with all the energy weapon shit around in the sentinels the doom slayer just decides Mace

[safe maple]

Bad to the bone gun

[sage condor]

It’s actually so metal

[atomic marsh]

🔥

[safe maple]

I mean it looks cool

[sage condor]

Rule of cool applies always

[south merlin]

i cannot express my love for ID enough as a doom eternal streamer this is gonna be so refreshing like HOLY 🔥

[worthy shard]

I guess he want bash demons brain to bits with a mace

[safe maple]

Especially if its the mace with a chain

Idk how its called

[sage condor]

Flail

[worthy shard]

you know what fun the shield with chainsaw blades

[safe maple]

The amount of weapon possibilitys is crazy, it would be a shame if it was just the mace and shield

[sage condor]

It’ll be fire I’m sure, replacement for equipment launcher presumably

[sage condor]

Yeah I get that

[sage condor]

The Shield I mean

[safe maple]

The shield may have replaced the chainsaw

[sage condor]

It seems to do a lot more from the trailer tho

I’m also curious whether it’ll give you ammo and shi

[south merlin]

it seems u can parry with it

[cold mango]

If no dlc come this game, probably game end, slayer use divinity machine or maybe icon of sin born, i dont know

[dawn rock]

all aboard to the hype choo choo

[worthy shard]

I bet someone will try to beat doom with chainsaw blade shield only lmao

[safe maple]

Ye, maybe it will be like the older dooms where you search for the ammo

[atomic marsh]

with nail guns.

[sage condor]

Maybe but I don’t see any ammo pickups in the trailer

But granted it’s very short and choppy

[placid saffron]

Probably omitted for gameplay honestly

[sage condor]

Yeah

[safe maple]

Mhm

[sage condor]

I really hope that keep the “get resources from enemies” idea

If ammo isn’t infinite and health don’t regenerate or something

But this game is such a big change they could do something like that

[safe maple]

True

[sage condor]

I hope they don’t tho personally

I think that should be at least one constant in this new series of games

In some form maybe not as insane as Eternal

[safe maple]

Its midieval theme, theres so much creativity that is possible

[sage condor]

Yes

[placid saffron]

A bit more interesting then ammo in eternal though i hope

[sage condor]

Yeah

Maybe certain demons give certain types?

[placid saffron]

With it autorecharging and zombies almost always being a thing it's litetally just a reload button like COD, but for all guns

[sage condor]

Yeah I can see that

[safe maple]

Ye, like bigger demons give more health while smaller give ammo

[sage condor]

Hm that could be cool

I also like how there is the betrayer Sentinel soldiers rather than the possessed soldiers

[safe maple]

It makes it more interesting with having the player startegise in the fight

[sage condor]

I can’t find the source interview for this short ): https://youtube.com/shorts/QeEWXQpRLk8?si=vLdQ-KpJQBAVyYnq

Probably unreleased currently

[placid saffron]

How sentinel hammer was in tag1 is ok, combined with maybe something like weaponmod X gives Y ammo then ammo wiuld be more in depth

[sage condor]

The electric gun is called the Accelerator apparently

So that’s cool

[safe maple]

It could have a mod where it slowly accelerates to be very fast like that one tf lmg

[sage condor]

That might be cool

I couldn’t think of a reason for that name

[safe maple]

The mod would basically be the devotion lmg

And im curious on how they will add the dragon and the jaeger into the game

[sage condor]

My heart is telling me main stays of the game but my brain says most likely just set pieces

[safe maple]

I hope that those aspects of the game arent used for 1 mission then be forgotten

[pine smelt]

maybe set missions/helldivers 2 style

call in mech/dragon, wait for awhile, and boom

[safe maple]

Oh

Like a special ability

[pine smelt]

ye

[rotund prairie]

Does anyone know if the system requirements will be the same as in Doom Eternal?

[noble oyster]

Tbh i highly doubt it

[pine smelt]

i think it'll be around the 2016 requirement

[noble oyster]

Probably more cuz no way

[rotund prairie]

eh

I hope my pc doesn't explode

[wooden socket]

I recently got an upgraded system so ill (hopefully) be good to go

[honest vortex]

Dark Ages doesn't even have any Xbox versions earlier than Series X or S.

But Eternal does lol

[wooden socket]

went from a 1660 to a 4060 so a big jump

[noble oyster]

Wait it doesnt?

[toxic mural]

really? damn

[honest vortex]

Dark Ages is much more advanced

[clever mural]

Wonder if the steam deck or ROG ally would handle

[rotund prairie]

I pray that there will be the same requirements as in Eternal

[noble oyster]

You can handle anything bro

[toxic mural]

gonna be real i can't even run 2016

[wooden socket]

it definitely wont

[honest vortex]

Yeah. It seems I have to upgrade to a better Xbox for once

[toxic mural]

i'm still waiting for kar en tuk to come out

[rotund prairie]

I have 1050 ti 4g...

[clever mural]

Tbf microsoft did say that they're pulling support for last gen consoles so it wouldnt really make sense to release the game there
Same for playststion

[sonic turret]

The Dark Ages is to Doom as The Old Blood is to Wolfenstein.

[wooden socket]

it will definitely be harder to run than eternal, but im confident it wont be too bad, eternal for what it was is pretty well optimized so this game will probably be well optimized too

[rotund prairie]

In general, it’s too early for me to say whether I’ll be able to play when I don’t even have money to play

[wooden socket]

well you've got about a year to get it sorted out

[blissful star]

i hope we get classic mp back and with console cross play since the quake remakes had it might of been a test

[rotund prairie]

can the multiplayer at least be alive

[blissful star]

for bm most of playerbase is on the pc mod while console is just tryhards n newbies left no inbetween

didnt help there wasnt that much new content for mp hope dark ages is the longest supported post launch

[rotund prairie]

on PC you usually have to wait 5 minutes until 1 player is found (playing with a friend), in Doom 2016 things are better

[blissful star]

yea most of them are on the modded version

[placid saffron]

Get gamepass, you can buy 6 months of it with the game's lowest price

[blissful star]

with more demons

[rotund prairie]

I thought about it, I guess I'll do it that way

[blissful star]

i get my series s in august

[fleet spruce]

Definitely will work but i believe it would be on low preset and handheld experience will be 720p 30 FPS with approximately 3.5-4 hours of gameplay. Switch is absolutely excluded from list tho

[blissful star]

i doubt switch can handle the game without overheating into an oven

[fleet spruce]

It wouldn't even run

[rotund prairie]

I pray that I don't have to buy a fire extinguisher along with the game

[clever mural]

If they want it to work on the switch theyd definetly need to go ultra low with the graphics so that the switch doesnt explode lmao

Tbh im fine with that 720p 30fps but i do hope we could reach higher with it

[fleet spruce]

I'm fine with that too, but if it's switch I'd place my hopes on switch 2 release instead

gonna play this game on my ROG Ally when it comes anyway

[clever mural]

Oh yea

[blissful star]

going off eternal we could see mp reveal in 2 months time

[clever mural]

Wonder how itll be like

The multiplayer

[safe maple]

Hope that its a 2016 like

[clever mural]

Custom maps and stuff?

[blissful star]

i can see it being like 2016 but inhouse by id my main want is cross play for consoles like the quake remasters had it so why cant doom

[safe maple]

Not really, but just regular pvp mode, like 2016

[clever mural]

Oh okay

[safe maple]

With multiple maps and stuff

[fleet spruce]

good question, i hope they won't reinvent the wheel and just make it classic arena FPS experience with quirks of dark ages gameplay

[clever mural]

What if it were like battlemode?

[safe maple]

The fan base would feel the same way like it felt with eternal battlemode

[blissful star]

i cant see it working in a more medievil game whole reason bm existed because they saw the compliants of people saying your singleplayer skills didnt transfer well into the pvp it felt like a whole new game to alot they wanted to make it more streamlined with the pve expernice

eternal movement in a regular tdm wont work well tbh with slayer v slayer

new players would just get confused at tf is going on n leave

[clever mural]

Fair enough

[hard thistle]

just do what i do i look up keys getting stuff at a very low price im so cheap

[safe maple]

Maybe it will be sentinels vs corrupted sentinels for pvp

Instead of slayer vs slayer

[blissful star]

i wish id had a dedicated pvp team insted of the current one who has to balance work alot on dlcs then pvp content can get tiring

[safe maple]

True

[neon perch]

I don't see multiplayer being a thing in TDA.

at least not traditional DM. something like Zandronum is well off the table.

[blissful star]

mp would help with longevitey

[neon perch]

Eternal's modded PvP is cool but holy hell is it jank. also way too unreadable most of the time.

and 2016's is just a straight-up Halo copycat that's even more boring.

I don't want another repeat of Battlemode either. just make something fun and original.

[chilly wagon]

anyone got any game suggestions that are similar to dark ages?

[sonic turret]

Doom Eternal

[blissful star]

i dont find it boring main reason it didnt do well is that it wasnt worth it for alot

[chilly wagon]

ive put a thousand hours into that game i need something new

[sonic turret]

2016

[jagged relic]

doom 2016

[chilly wagon]

same with that one, dont keep on doing down the list

[blissful star]

and 2016 was made by an studio who helped with halo

[jagged relic]

doom 3

[sonic turret]

Amid Evil

[jagged relic]

2 late

[sonic turret]

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin

[chilly wagon]

so im guessing everything that is similar will just be a indie boomer shooter

[jagged relic]

ur onto smthing

[blissful star]

ultra kill

[chilly wagon]

played it too much aswell lol

[sonic turret]

You could try that one Warhammer game.

[chilly wagon]

vermintide?

[sonic turret]

I've not played it tho.

[jagged relic]

try deadlink maybe

[sonic turret]

Maybe, the latest one.

[chilly wagon]

not like dark ages but does look cool

[sullen prairie]

I’m so hype for more doom bro

[jagged relic]

its more like doom eternal but rouge like

can get a bit repetitive

[chilly wagon]

i need something chunky

[hoary path]

Doom TDA > gta 6

[chilly wagon]

very different games lol

[blissful star]

exo fighter

[chilly wagon]

exactly like doom dark ages

[hoary path]

They both contain movement

[jagged relic]

silly goose

[hoary path]

BFG 9000 IS TYPING

[jagged relic]

were fucked

[sonic turret]

Vermintide

[hoary path]

I LOVE YOU BFG 9000

[fallen crown]

wanted to write a joke, but i dont have one

[chilly wagon]

i forgot to pick it up when it was free 😦

[hoary path]

Will you marry me

[chilly wagon]

what wtf nevermind, ive got it

[blissful star]

if u want medievil try elden ring

[fallen crown]

already married to doomguy sry

[hoary path]

I am doomguy

[jagged relic]

is it big?

[placid mist]

i love how they made his helmet design (visor etc) look more like the classic doom marine helmet this time around

[sonic turret]

Be careful what you wish for, someone might start posting gifs again.

[chilly wagon]

oh god

[fallen crown]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-the-office-flashing-gif-25932892

[placid mist]

his guns are pretty big

[hoary path]

They are

I love my BFG☺️☺️

[placid mist]

he got that bfg 10k

[hybrid moss]

I genuinely wonder how it'll run on the steam deck

[jagged relic]

bfg gets all the love but what about the unmaykr

[hoary path]

Big black imps

[hoary path]

Unmaykr wasn't there for me in the early days

[placid mist]

he's gonna shoot a hole into the surface of mars with this one if ykwim

[jagged relic]

classic bfg had so much ammo tho not anymore

[hoary path]

I miss the good old days

[placid mist]

well it did use the same ammo as the plasma rifle in the classic games lol

[jagged relic]

well that would b broken

[hoary path]

When the stupid marauder didn't exist yet

[placid mist]

makes sense for it to have more ammo

[hoary path]

Imagine shooting yourself using the BFG

[jagged relic]

u hate marauders??

[hoary path]

I was showering the other night and I literally heard demon noises in my right ear

[sonic turret]

Like overheating it in Doom 3.

[hybrid moss]

I hope my Pentium 3 Compaq can handle this game

[placid mist]

wonder if it's gonna release early, mid or late 2025

[hoary path]

Better be early

[jagged relic]

hope its early

i dont know why they chose 2025 is should have been 2024

[amber jungle]

you know,if in the dark ages there will be multiplayer I will pre order the game ngl

[sonic turret]

So what are yalls expectations of special edition Dark Ages releases? Statuettes? Art books?

[jagged relic]

they probably scared of cod eating there players

[placid mist]

i mean we all hope it's early but as i always like to say, better take your time to release a better game than release it early and have a rushed one

[hoary path]

Fuck cod

Fuck any game that isn't doom

[amber jungle]

cod is weird now,it's not just idiotic,it's just weird

[jagged relic]

but doom never came uncooked

[hoary path]

Or wolfenstein

[sonic turret]

Quake?

[placid mist]

cause they took their time

[hoary path]

Nah

[jagged relic]

well we cant wait anymore

[fallen crown]

First black ops and original MW trilogy has special place in my heart, but anything after that came over my head

[amber jungle]

when new DOOM game will come out,we all know it's 5 star dish

[jagged relic]

bussin

[placid mist]

but so many games nowadays release basically incomplete due to rushed development etc. i would hate for the same thing to happen to such an awesome franchise

[jagged relic]

but im still sad that it will release in 2025

[amber jungle]

except kirby for some reason

[hybrid moss]

just a reminder that doom the dark ages won't be 300GB, so we win either way

[placid mist]

and zelda tbh. the zelda devs can cook hard

[jagged relic]

so can doom devs

[hybrid moss]

They've been cooking for 30 years and counting

[amber jungle]

most of the games is just 2 star dishes,but there are exceptions like kirby or DOOM

[placid mist]

i'm aware. but time is a valuable resource in game development so i say patience, young slayer

[jagged relic]

doom 2016 and eternal both looked different in there demos or reveals but in matter of months thay completely change how the game plays out

[amber jungle]

you know what really grinds my gears? i buyed the deluxe editon of DOOM eternal,WHERE'S MY DLCS?

[ionic delta]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-slayer-doomguy-doom-the-dark-ages-doom-dark-ages-gif-17796023110931187535

[jagged relic]

eternal had same ammo capacity as 2016 in the demos but the final game had all the new ammo management system which happened outa no where so they know how to make changes fast and make em good so i dont think they still need so much time for launch of TDA

[placid mist]

well that is cause graphics are one of the latest things they fine tune during game development. they had to make it presentable but they ended up adjusting those things in the end, which is normal

[jagged relic]

but what about how the game actually plays in 2016 demo the gameplay was so fkn slow

and the final product was so different

[amber jungle]

i like to talk about weird things happening on ps4 version of deluxe edition of DOOM eternal, i buyed it in 2021,yet I ONLY GOT THE SKIN PACKS FOR DOOM SLAYER,NO SKIN RIP AND TEAR,YEAR ONE PASS,NOTHING. gives this mistake to someone and they'll cry.

[placid mist]

sometimes other adjustments are made and they already had a solid foundation i assume

[placid mist]

idk, i actually got the 80 dollar deluxe version of eternal gifted to me on steam and i had everything that came with it lmao

[amber jungle]

fucking bethesda

[placid mist]

valid point

[jagged relic]

well they basically cracked there own game so i dont expect much lol

[amber jungle]

where i can talk to a support of bethesda? my problem is even solvable?

[placid mist]

i would try to message their support or something

[jagged relic]

did u get the dlcs?

[amber jungle]

ONLY SKIN PACKS OF BARBARIAN AND OTHER SKIN PACK FOR DOOM SLAYER. that's all

[jagged relic]

so should probably have the dlcs aswell right

cuz u only get the skins if u buy the dlcs

[amber jungle]

idk,the only good thing i have is "i believe im on fire" skin for doom slayer

[jagged relic]

do u have ancient gods part one and 2?

[placid mist]

i need a gif of the slayer from the new trailer as my pfp lol

[amber jungle]

NO

[jagged relic]

teh fuck

[amber jungle]

idk why.

[jagged relic]

yeah u should talk to suppourt

[placid mist]

Ah, crispy slayer

[grand estuary]

btw, does anybody know how much will the preorder cost? like 80$ or less right?

[pulsar agate]

wafer

[amber jungle]

sadly,because im russian,support isn't available for me for some fucking reason. i even tried using vpn

[jagged relic]

u can tag joshua he is in this server or msg him privately and he doent accept friend requests btw

[amber jungle]

you know what's funny? I FUCKING LOST A CHANCE TO GET QUAKECON SKINS. I BUYED THE GAME IN 2021

[jagged relic]

there not so special so its ok

[amber jungle]

i know,just liked the cosplay slayer

[jagged relic]

u on pc or console?

[amber jungle]

doom eternal is in my ps4 console since 2021

[jagged relic]

welp other wise u could use mods to get some lost skins u could not get not the ones which u have to pay for tho

[amber jungle]

how i can download mods on ps4? also,what is joshua's nickname here?

[jagged relic]

u cant mod on consoles and i dont know joshuas name sorry

[amber jungle]

aw damn

[supple yoke]

Hugo confirmed that the story line will be following the Slayer's Testaments!! Meaning we are starting from the first age when the shadows first lengthened

https://youtu.be/F-26CWF6_os?si=6XnU9SLRIF6JBXB9

[placid mist]

we boutta lengthen some shadows, boys

[amber jungle]

that's just sad tbh.

[jagged relic]

bro did not get his dlc content and is so chill about it

[clever reef]

There’s a gib gun‼️

This games gonna be sick

[amber jungle]

i have horde mod for this, at least i can go insane by this

[jagged relic]

horde mode is mid

[amber jungle]

yeah,it's mid.

but have to complete it on 100% bc i don't have dlcs

[jagged relic]

sad

[placid mist]

We're gonna get to wear the crown of the night sentinels

[fallen crown]

I like horde mode, its fun

[jagged relic]

yeah it is fun but ur basically playing the same thing with new ui

and it was in replacement for invasion

[fallen crown]

thats the saddest part

[amber jungle]

it's like "need doom 2 skins? Then go complete horde mod 5 times"

[jagged relic]

yeah they didnt put as much effort as they would have for invasion and gave us new ui

[amber jungle]

if joshua would appear, ping me.

[jagged relic]

trust me idk his tag name or nickname

maybe ask an admin for help

[amber jungle]

i'll do it later, right now im gonna play horde mod again.

[jagged relic]

lol good luck

[amber jungle]

i'll need it

oh wait, remember something

2 months ago i got account for ps4,so i can play multiplayer, and then i remember that this account i have is in other region,so i can just go to the playstation store and try to claim the dlcs

[jagged relic]

if that can work
go ahead

[amber jungle]

well,if a furry can create lethal company. then why i can't claim the things i should have?

well,that was a good attempt tbh

[chilly wagon]

i just need more doom content

one more master level mr hugo martin

[jagged relic]

not expecting new stuff to drop for eternal as all there focus in on TDA probably

[chilly wagon]

yeah me neither

[pulsar agate]

eternal is a 4 years old game i don't think new stuff for eternal

[north spire]

i haven't talked about this game much on this server specifically

[unborn bear]

How much you bet the final boss will be the first titan you lost ur crusable in

[north spire]

so might as well talk about it

I fucking LOVE the fact that there's gonna be a kaiju battle in this game

[chilly wagon]

hugo martin did work on pacific rim

[north spire]

Godzilla is my favourite movie series so it's so cool experiencing something like that in my favourite video game series

Im also very obsessed with that one clip where you can do a tf2 styled shield charge

[dawn rock]

Bye doom blade.... Hello Pikes Mace

[north spire]

I like tf2 :)

[chilly wagon]

dark ages for them is different compared to dark ages for us

[dawn rock]

mix medieval x quake style and enviroment

[stark bough]

That would be really cool but I think from what the trailer suggests, he's already slayed the titan

[north spire]

also also, the new praetor armour looks great. Love the addition of the bear cape

a lot of this trailer reminds me of quake 1, which makes me wonder if they'll eventually revive quake🤔

[dawn rock]

the new praetor looks more a warrior armor with chains and mail

[amber jungle]

so admins are tagged as SENTINELS?

[north spire]

Do you think they'll bring back the doom 64 pain elemental?

[chilly wagon]

they were going to but im guessing they are doing this now

[stark bough]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's what Id does next after doom

[north spire]

both unfortunate and fortunate

[chilly wagon]

ive always been a bigger fan of doom

[north spire]

unfortunate cause id love to see quake get the same treatment

fortunate cause i love doom!

[dawn rock]

maybe join the universe with quake multiversE?

[chilly wagon]

can we stop making multiverses

[north spire]

yea

[dawn rock]

Quake is a multiverse

even lovecraftnian

[north spire]

one thing im curious about is the soundtrack

i wonder if levy and hulshult are returning

[dawn rock]

Andrew hullsulth is a peak, hear Dusk, AC2 blood swamp or Prodeus

[unkempt pebble]

i believe levy said he was not working on this game

[north spire]

and also idkfa

[unkempt pebble]

but i think hulshult is

[north spire]

ah i see. Well, at least we kept one :)

[dawn rock]

i want the full ost of the trailer

like they did with "they only thing they fear is you" in the bethesda stream

[north spire]

Geoffplaysguitar would be an exceptional choice for the soundtrack too

[dawn rock]

x2

[fallen crown]

hard disagree

[dawn rock]

i feel this doom game need more barbaric metal and less industrial

[north spire]

i like both

[dawn rock]

but i mean for fits the enviroment and the age

also cought Exist Schism

[slim rivet]

what the fuck is that

[placid mist]

I wanna cosplay this slayer's armor man

It looks so sick

[fallen crown]

seen the trailer like 20 times now, cant stop

[placid mist]

Also one thing I wonder, if the title of "Doom Slayer" was only mentioned at the end of the testaments, are we gonna have to earn it throughout the campaign of TDA? Would be pretty sick

[kindred pebble]

Just saw the trailer and it looks awesome

[fallen crown]

good point

[stable basin]

Doom guy's armour kinda looks like Kratos with the bear coat

[fallen crown]

Kratos to doomguy: only fire, when i tell you to fire
Doomguy: NO

[wheat granite]

I CAN PUNCH THE BIG GUY! WHOOOO

pacific rim type combat yes please!

[supple flower]

David Levy won't be working on the OST, just confirmed on Twitter

[wheat granite]

wait. vega discord bot has pride colors.... does that mean that Vega/||God|| is gay?

[fallen crown]

on his profile? i dont see any mention of that

[supple flower]

Check replies

[fallen crown]

i see now, thx

[supple flower]

Come on man how could they? Dude deserves to be working on it

[fallen crown]

true,

[glass schooner]

Does anyone know if there will be a Multiplayer-Mode in TDA?

[supple flower]

No confirmation yet but so far there hasn't been a new Doom without multiplayer so 90% chance there will be

[merry sapphire]

New Doom Let’s Get it

[wheat granite]

maybe mick gordon will be back?

[merry sapphire]

Naw…

[wheat granite]

LET ME DREAM DAMNIT

[fallen crown]

Andrew reposted the new doom trailer on his twitter, so I guess that probably confirms it ?

[stable basin]

if there is going to be a multiplayer mode i hope it be more players than the last game

[glass schooner]

@supple flower True, thanks for the answer

[supple flower]

Oh yeah Andrew is 100% coming back, but sadly not David

[wheat granite]

aww man i liked david's stuff

[supple flower]

David seems a little upset on Twitter too, probably wanted to work 😦

[supple flower]

They should just bring back deathmatch, Battlemode ain't it

[wheat granite]

maybe a PVE style arena could work? like 3 players vs hordes of demons

i think that will be interesting

[stable basin]

or 1v1v1 with doom guy armour

[glass schooner]

I would feel something like a big medieval-style Attack/Defense Mode where you either Play as Demons or Night Sentibels could work

[stable basin]

or a giant mech battle

[glass schooner]

That‘ll be awesome

[supple flower]

5 sentinels Vs 5 super heavy demons

[wheat granite]

oh! imagine they do a 4 player lobby, 3 people kill demons and the fourth one has a top down view of the arena and can choose to alter the battle if they get points or something, or maybe spawn a boss demon that they could control

[jagged relic]

5 karens vs 5 furries

[wheat granite]

if i was the devs i would make all of these playable options. kinda like diffrent game modes

well... expect maybe for the furries one lol

[glass schooner]

True that would be the best Option

[jagged relic]

add variety and loose queue time

[supple flower]

Karen Tuk

[shadow shoal]

any predictions for system requirements?

[jagged relic]

hater

[subtle bay]

They addet a fucking chainsaw shield !
SHUT UP, AND TAKE MY MONEY !

[jagged relic]

probably the same as eternal or maybe a little higher but the optimizations are so good on id games u would not have any problem

[wheat granite]

add doom guy with cat ears armor or im not buying lol

[placid mist]

I still want a sword or axe to go with that at some point ngl

[jagged relic]

u know they will do it right

halo did it whos stopping doom

[wheat granite]

god i hope. capcom also did it

[shadow shoal]

indeed
hope it's not going to be something crazy like 4000s cards minimum :troll :

[merry sapphire]

man what he was sick as hell. Preferred him way over Andrew hulshut TBH

[jagged relic]

nah minimum requirements exist for a reason so ur chillin right?

[shadow shoal]

I have 3070 ti mobile which is almost equal to 3060 ti desktop, I guess am chilling?

[jagged relic]

easy

[shadow shoal]

nice

[jagged relic]

i got a 3060 ti and i play eternal full setting ray tracing with 200 plus frames

[wheat granite]

i have a 3060. it might not work on max but if it doesnt work on medium im eating the devs omnomnom

[plush grail]

OwO

[jagged relic]

i dont think its gonna b that big of a problem the game is very different and rendering will b smooth as the game is not moving so fast i think it will b fine

[wheat granite]

worst case sceniro i think i can afford an upgrade

[limber tulip]

jump.

[merry sapphire]

Prob gon run at least 60 on max settings not including ray tracing and dlss knowing id Software

[plush grail]

How high?

[limber tulip]

tenth floor

[plush grail]

Cant jump that high sadly

[wheat granite]

thats good cuz my screen is only 60 lol

[toxic mural]

edgy

[jagged relic]

nah easily above 100 man

[limber tulip]

do you let it crust?

[toxic mural]

my toast? nah

[merry sapphire]

@plush grail @plush grail get those two love birds a Room Sheesh 😂

[toxic mural]

rice? would prefer not to but we all make mistakes

[plush grail]

Hm?

[toxic mural]

rice crust is gross gross gross

[jagged relic]

crusty feet?

[limber tulip]

i looove crusting it before i wipe

[merry sapphire]

fuck y’all talking About

[jagged relic]

fam chill

[limber tulip]

crust

[toxic mural]

ah

[limber tulip]

i am tho

[plush grail]

I do wonder what the mp would be like

Sofar i loved 2016s mp

[jagged relic]

ass as usuall

[merry sapphire]

hope they bring back battle mode that shit was sick

[jagged relic]

never play doom for the multiplayer

[plush grail]

Ye this will make me sad...

[jagged relic]

cap

[plush grail]

2016 was peak...no better satisfaction than eating a dudes head as a pinkie

[jagged relic]

better then eternal for sure

[plush grail]

Ye never had fun with eternal

[jagged relic]

eternals multiplayer was like playing the levels again

[merry sapphire]

it Was unique and fun As Hell Tf you mean cap lil Boy it’s an Opinion😭

[jagged relic]

if u get good demons ur playing on hard and if there bad ur playing on easy

[jagged relic]

wrong opinion

[plush grail]

I cant play as the slayer and as demons your either 2 vs 1 noob or 2 vs the slayer himself

[merry sapphire]

crazy how you described the concept of multiplayer games

[plush grail]

Either way no fun

[jagged relic]

it was never multiplayer

[merry sapphire]

yea it’s like that now cause nobody is playing it except really really good players

[jagged relic]

it was the same as playing campaign

[plush grail]

Yep...

[merry sapphire]

👍😂

[jagged relic]

prove my point wrong

[plush grail]

I love my nickname here

[jagged relic]

u know you cant

[merry sapphire]

I’m good you take care

[spark leaf]

omg I wana play it noww

[jagged relic]

already lost

[plush grail]

B4 they removed being able to name yourself

[merry sapphire]

👍

[jagged relic]

🤓

[winter idol]

demons had far more abilities and your stratagy as the slayer was completely different considering you had to work around real people

[jagged relic]

camon u know u lyin

[winter idol]

no im not

[jagged relic]

nah

[merry sapphire]

he fuckin around ignore his Goofy ass

[pearl harbor]

battlemode was fire the hell You on about

[jagged relic]

honestly im not

[spark leaf]

I like battlemode

[merry sapphire]

👍

[jagged relic]

ur only saying that cuz thats all u got

[spark leaf]

I'm totally terrible at it, but I like it.

[jagged relic]

playing the story with real demons is not multiplayer

[merry sapphire]

Real shit all I hope is the multiplayer isn’t the same stuff as 2016. Bland and uninspired

[pearl harbor]

battlemode > 2016 mp 😊

[fair fractal]

preach it brother

[jagged relic]

sure hell they are preaching it

[merry sapphire]

hope they do the free seasons again

[plush grail]

Bring both back :P

Now the real question is....

Should i start on ultra violence or just jump into nightmare

[hard thistle]

Ultra Violence is best.

Nightmare sucks in both 2016 and Eternal.

[jagged relic]

i think the attacks r gonna b hard hitting so we gotta take it a bit slow

[fair fractal]

wym

[plush grail]

2016 was good eternal was doable but tag 1 and 2 fucking drained me

[cyan swan]

I really think that skullcrusher weapon was just heavy cannon

[jagged relic]

nah its spread is so wide

[hard thistle]

Poorly balanced in 2016, not really worth it IMO in Eternal. UV is the best difficulty, above that it's just cranking up the damage you take and the enemy AI is slightly more aggressive.

[cyan swan]

Upgrade + Micro Missiles

That looked like micro missiles - fuck.

[fair fractal]

yea 2016 nm sucks

[plush grail]

Budget unmaker

[fair fractal]

lol

[jagged relic]

that can b tru

[plush grail]

I did 2016 nightmare no hud...i physically cant play it in any other way

Eternal just hell no...

[cyan swan]

Unmaykr made with a bit more money but less destructive power

[plush grail]

Demon skull instead of demon energy lol

[cyan swan]

Yeah

[hard thistle]

It's official now...
Doom is the basically the "Evil Dead" of videogames...

[cyan swan]

Also what will we get more in terms of lore?

[slender night]

Is Nightmare in the modern games JUST increased damage taken? All previous versions had a gimmick.

[ionic delta]

https://tenor.com/view/doomguy-doom-the-dark-ages-doom-slayer-xbox-gif-4371316859273993709

[cyan swan]

So true. I noticed it the second I hop in nightmere

[hard thistle]

AFAIK it's literally just this and the enemies are slightly more aggressive.

[soft turret]

Ultra-Violence feels too easy

[slender night]

That's kind of lame but tbh not much they could do.

[cyan swan]

Also the new suit looks like new praetor suit plus old plates

[cyan swan]

But ig its just me bc the game looks dark.

[soft turret]

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be sentinel armor, before he got the praetor suit

[slender night]

Hm. Actually, this game makes the Slayer artifacts in Hayden's office make more sense.

[hard thistle]

Personally I miss having more enemies in higher difficulties.

[fair fractal]

ooh yea

[cyan swan]

I think I have a reason to play 2016 again.

[cyan swan]

Rotting in my Library

[slender night]

Classic DOOM's respawning enemies made it a really cool challenge.

[jagged relic]

how rude

[cyan swan]

Cant say

Put a lot of time in eternal

[fair fractal]

ayy that big enemy doom guy uses the mace on in the trailer is supposed to be the doom hunters before getting mechanised?

[soft turret]

Looks similar to em yeah

[hexed stag]

me reading the codex entries

[amber jungle]

we got lucifer morningstar as DOOM fan before gta 6

[pulsar agate]

No it's new suit with little sprinkle of 2016 praetor suit and sentinel plates

[sacred kelp]

I am so excited to get that skull grinding weapon, its oddly satisfying to watch the firing

[cyan swan]

Micro missiles.

[sacred kelp]

Exactly

[pulsar agate]

WHY DOES MY FRIEND ALWAYS HAS HIS DISCORD CLOSED

I want to speak to his brother and tell him that smth is on-stock

[sand wharf]

That skull being all decorated before it gets shredded to pieces seems to be a bit too much, lol. I imagine the Slayer using a stamp/heated iron for the rune rather than painting it

[sacred kelp]

Oh wait, is it painted?

[sand wharf]

Yes, there's a rune on the skull

[sacred kelp]

I thought that was just the demon normal, because they were the same way in eternal right?

[late nimbus]

Yeah I just assume thats what demon skulls all have before getting eviscerated

[sand wharf]

Zombies in Eternal wear a pentagram on their forehead. The skull in the Dark Ages is different

[sacred kelp]

Ooooh okay, that makes sense

[late nimbus]

I hope they remake a version of at hell's gate to fit the new game

[sacred kelp]

That would be cool

[pulsar agate]

they won't mick gordon isn't the OST creator in this game

[sacred kelp]

WHAT

[pulsar agate]

u just hearing it

[sacred kelp]

Yes

[pulsar agate]

didn't yk hewas fired?

[sacred kelp]

Why was he fired?

[hard thistle]

They can still have someone else remake At Doom's Gate.

[keen flint]

Some bullshit

[pulsar agate]

like around 2021 2022 he was fired

[late nimbus]

He was never an employee at id but worked as a contracter

[hard thistle]

Andrew Hulshult briefly remixed it for the Davoth boss theme.

[pulsar agate]

Now i knew why it sounded familiar

[sacred kelp]

I wish he actually was an employee, his music was amazing, and to my knowledge, all made without any guitars

[sand wharf]

sameee bro

[keen flint]

Gimme that

[hard thistle]

You can hear it here, from 2:46-3:00:
https://youtu.be/WiqLKp8U_K8?t=166

[late nimbus]

whoa never noticed that

[pulsar agate]

btw the song is just pure perfection

[sacred kelp]

I heard the guitar in the trailer, and I was like "something is different"

[late nimbus]

dude you should totes watch mick's long form vid on his channel breaking down how he made the OST for the base game

[pulsar agate]

why is mick gordon in love with chainsaws :/

[placid mist]

Yeah I did end up finding it afterwards, ty tho

[sacred kelp]

Idk how he made his music without guitar, but the chainsaw usage was absolutely amazing

[amber jungle]

so..anyone knows joshua's nickname here? i just having a problem with deluxe edition of DOOM eternal

[hexed stag]

like a normal ver of the 2016 skullkeys

[placid mist]

Cause they're fucking awesome

[late nimbus]

not sure if it's tru but I think he did some stuff with guitar

[sacred kelp]

Oh really?

[pulsar agate]

indeed

[sand wharf]

Yeah, you're right

[late nimbus]

what's for sure is his brief stated no guitars

[toxic mural]

mick used a guitar, no?

or do you mean hulshult

[pulsar agate]

I am thinking of re-installing doom eternal it's been afew months since i last played it

I mean i had it instlaled but i left it to rot then I uninstalled it to play cs2

[fair fractal]

bet

[sand wharf]

I leave it untouched so often but I don't uninstall it since it's a big game by now, and it takes a few hours for me to download it again

[pulsar agate]

Once since my wifi those days were so bad it took me 3 business days to install it.

Do any of ya'll have roblox? I like playing aniphobia lol

[fair fractal]

the only thing im kinda concerned abt is the musik tbh

[pulsar agate]

kind of reminds me of doom eternal ngl

[placid mist]

Almost as awesome as 6-string bass guitars

[pulsar agate]

Idk why it does cuz it has nothin like doom eternal nor any fast switching

You just kill catgirls

[humble plaza]

Bro its my pfp

[pulsar agate]

Mine is the best hehehe

[sand wharf]

[pulsar agate]

doom slayer finna use his coat as his blanket

[sand wharf]

That's the best one

[pulsar agate]

Do you guys think we will revisit some parts of hell from doom 2016?

[hard thistle]

Potentially. I imagine we'll revisit Argenta locations like Sentinel Prime or Taras Nabad.

[pulsar agate]

Like Titan's realm? where he defeated the titan with his bare hands?

[pulsar agate]

Same I am so excited i literally can't wait

[hard thistle]

Well, he didn't really do that, but anyway that won't happen for a couple billion years after The Dark Ages.

[pulsar agate]

I literally started jumping from how excited i was

[pulsar agate]

What

[hard thistle]

He killed the Titan but nothing in-game says it was necessarily with his bare hands.

All we know is the Slayer met the Great One in battle and the Great One fell.

[tawdry rampart]

looking at the trailer again i think the game wil take a more serious sam approach to combat

[pulsar agate]

Also in the slayer's testament ((doom 2016)) is the dark lord speaking because it sounds similiar

[old peak]

fr mood

[tawdry rampart]

not as in endless waves but i think the combat will be less personal with each demon and instead you will be much more indiscriminately blasting through hordes - as we can see the slayer one shots a mancubus and runs into a hord of fodder

seems like the enemies will be weaker but en masse

[fair fractal]

more like serious sam?

[pulsar agate]

btw will we see the obsidian pillars of the blood temples?

[narrow juniper]

I am so not into this.

Partially because of how bad Eternal is (if there’s no deathmatch and no co-op, it’s not a DooM game) and partially because this shouldn’t exist.

Doom Guy’s “backstory” was DooM 2. If you really want to flesh it out, make a game about boot camp.

He’s not immortal, if he was, IDDQD would be on permanently.

[old peak]

yeah I think id prefer that

[old peak]

r u like... dumb?

the cannon of the new games is slightly different

[tawdry rampart]

satire?

[narrow juniper]

No, I can spell out “are” and “you.”

[fair fractal]

ok creator of english

[old peak]

yeah uhh im not the only one who does that

I bet u cant say the longest fucking word if ur gonna pull that on me

[narrow juniper]

Not at all. The mismatched multiplayer mode is annoying at best, boring at worst.

[tawdry rampart]

ye it was a second thought

[flint edge]

everytime i check in theres a new guy with a brain numbing take

[old peak]

yeah well nobody gives a shit abt the online modes anyway

[fair fractal]

thanks for ur opinion

[old peak]

its always a single player game tbh

[pulsar agate]

guys the praetor suit we see in the trailer is traditional sentinel armor i think cuz the doom slayer got the praetor after the dark ages ithink

[tawdry rampart]

campaign came first. deathmatch is reserved for quake now.

[sand wharf]

Ah yeah, there's always someone who is complaining.

[fair fractal]

ofc

[old peak]

ye idk how u could dislike doom eternal either

[narrow juniper]

Heresy.

[pulsar agate]

will the next game be after the dark ages?

[old peak]

its like what doom wouldve been if it was made now anyway the only reason it was diff was cuz they didnt have the tech lol

[tawdry rampart]

i mean it was kind of a coincidence that classic doom's deathmatch was so good

[celest canopy]

the story's delivery was wack after greatness of doom 2016

[fair fractal]

who has ideas abt the game after bruh

[pulsar agate]

bro i just asked a question smh

[old peak]

yeah tbh the story isnt the best delivered

[tawdry rampart]

it was designes for the campaign but it just feels so good killing other people

[placid mist]

Huh

[narrow juniper]

That may be, but that’s all the reason to not drop it. They invented it.

[fair fractal]

yea ik but its too soon is all

[old peak]

but its way better written
and also wasnt the focus tbh cuz the game is also very gameplay based as 99% is a fight

[tawdry rampart]

story in eternal was delivered kinda cringe as well. like people who read the codex get spoilers? miss me on that shit.

[hard thistle]

Okay but this is a prequel to the new games, lol.

The new games have recontextualized Doom's story. That's just how it is.

[narrow juniper]

See previous answer.

[celest canopy]

it was delivered perfectly in 2016 though

[tawdry rampart]

are there any remaining members from the pre-quake 2 days?

[pulsar agate]

if my kids ask for a bed time story ima start yapping abt "in the first age in the first battle"

[jagged relic]

doom story was never its strong point

[hard thistle]

This is a prequel to the Slayer's entries. That is fundamentally different from just being about the original Doomguy

[tawdry rampart]

apart from the receptionist

[jagged relic]

and u can see it every time

[sand wharf]

Half Life 1 has deathmatch too. Never played it. Is there a need for multiplayer in a singleplayer game?

[old peak]

I havent played it yet but I can agree

[digital sentinel]

i know this game is a prequel to doom 2016, but is it confirmed that its a sequel to 64?

[hard thistle]

It's after 64.

[narrow juniper]

No, they ran for the hills when Zenimax came and ruined Rage.

[digital sentinel]

i meant to say sequel lmao

[hard thistle]

This is after Doom 64, before Doom 2016.

[old peak]

also im pretty sure one of the games had time travel or smth

and he's in hell in dark ages

[tawdry rampart]

half life 1 deathmatch busses. shame my computer can't run it since the new update

[old peak]

hell obviously had its own medieval era tbh

[hard thistle]

I'll never get why some Doom fans are so against the series reinventing itself.

[celest canopy]

that's what it seems right now, which is pretty good but WHAT THE FUCK happened between 2016 and eternal

[hard thistle]

Lmao no fucking clue.

[fair fractal]

lol who knows

[narrow juniper]

Because it doesn’t need fixed.

[celest canopy]

I know, nobody knows

[hard thistle]

They said they'd make a comic about it but I dunno if that is still happening.

[tawdry rampart]

just as long as they don't get rid of the cheese i'll be okay with the changes

[digital sentinel]

tbh i don't think that time frame is a full game worthy, more comic worthy

[fair fractal]

u want an expansion pack
not a new game

[hard thistle]

Who said it needs fixed? It needed reinventing. The classic games are there if you want a classic experience.

[humble plaza]

New doom
Is
Dark like doom 2016
And
Fast game play like doom eternal

[hard thistle]

I don't just want them to make the same game over and over lol. I like when a series has ambition and strives to do new things.

[old peak]

I love this person

[jagged relic]

not fast

[celest canopy]

I just want more doom 2016

[pulsar agate]

i want just more odo 216

[fair fractal]

💯

[old peak]

u are the most valid human mono

[celest canopy]

jinx lmao

[pulsar agate]

yea doom 2016 is like the best doom game ((my opinion))

[granite jackal]

dark ages looks fire

[hard thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-horner-smile-gif-27453489

[granite jackal]

seen it now

[old peak]

yeah which is way 2016 has more og style combat eternal is reinvented but keeps a similar concept to the old games and dark ages is clearly power based and showing his raw strength and is also very destructive if u look at old leaks

[celest canopy]

I also agree with this - but like if it's good. and I was really disappointed by eternal's story. it was obtuse and confusing. but combat-wise it was great, tighter than 2016

the DLCs were kind of crap though, but that's probably covid+mismanagement

[digital sentinel]

if doom the dark ages was exactly like doom eternal, players who were already good at eternal would have no room to grow at dark ages, they would already be very good from the start. if they change it up, almost everyone is starting from scratch in their skill level and can become very good at it over time

[hard thistle]

I don't mind Eternal's story. It's told pretty poorly, but I like the actual plot and worldbuilding it introduces.

[celest canopy]

same

[fair fractal]

damn u are him

[celest canopy]

what does it matter for a singleplayer game lol

[hard thistle]

I will always stand by my opinion that I prefer Eternal's story and world over what's shown in Doom 2016. I think it's more authentic, more true to modern Doom's vision, and less derivative of past installments.

[pulsar agate]

This dude annoyed me a lot

[narrow juniper]

What does skill level have to do with using a crowbar to retcon DooM into Hexen?

[old peak]

I think theyre trying to change it up so it is unlike other games

[hard thistle]

This isn't a retcon. The events this game is depicting were told in Doom 2016 and then again in Eternal.

[digital sentinel]

dunno i thought that message was about you not liking the gameplay being different from eternal

[hard thistle]

It's literally just a normal prequel. We were shown the history of modern Doom's chronology already.

[old peak]

plus doom 2016 is to dark ages what x men 1 is to xmen origins wolverine (im pretty sure doomguy has to regain his skills and forgot abt his past and 2016 is him finding himself again and eternal is him becoming better)

[narrow juniper]

I don’t like that they added Super Mario Brothers (platformer aspects), sure. But my dislike was that they threw away the versions of multiplayer that they practically invented.

[digital sentinel]

well it doesnt matter if its singleplayer or not lol, its just overall better to have players start off being bad at a game and then getting good over time

[hard thistle]

Holy shit

The trailer looks good

[celest canopy]

dark ages takes place after doom 64 and a portion of WADs and then some other WADs happen and then doom 2016 happens 😂

[fair fractal]

a fresh gameplay experience
new mechanics

[digital sentinel]

yeah i can understand people not liking the multiplayer in eternal, but i haven't really ever cared for multiplayer in any game

[hard thistle]

Who cares about the plot?

[celest canopy]

me

[hard thistle]

You’re crazy

[celest canopy]

I'm really sad to see snapmap thrown out the way it was

[celest canopy]

well excuse me

[hard thistle]

A what?

[boreal jay]

Wondering how open the levels will end up being, it seems very open in the trailer

[old peak]

some of yall dont get

[hard thistle]

The developers do lmao

[hard thistle]

I can see the appeal actually

Modern Doom's been putting effort into its plot for a while. It ain't perfect, but they are telling a story and the story is something they care about.

[hard thistle]

Its insane and goofy at some parts but yeah

[digital sentinel]

i wonder if if the super shotgun will actually be the games starting weapon, which makes me wanna repeat something i said last night, if they do a starting pistol again it should be a revolver

[old peak]

hes not on earth for this game
he is in hell
he is in HELLS medieval era not earths
he is legit fighting with guns and has tech he is in our modern day just in hell's medieval (because time works diff there)

[hard thistle]

Would be cool

[hard thistle]

Correction: He is in neither of these places.

[boreal jay]

A revolver would be so cool

[celest canopy]

I know I was joking, I was referring to that idea that 2016 basically canonized all the WADs ever made for doom.
