[frail bloom]

Dlc, divinity skin pack, digital artbook and soundtrack

[real rose]

right.. i might get that

[frail bloom]

Where did you get the new info btw?

[grim cloud]

new video on that one site owned by some asshole

i cant post links, but social media it may be there

[real rose]

do you think the premium editions worth it?

[frail bloom]

What site

[real rose]

its a lot of money for primarily digital stuff

[frail bloom]

Depends on where you live, it is stupid expensive in some countries

[real rose]

im in the UK, its nearly £100

[frail bloom]

Oh that's not awful

I got the premium, but I'm priveleged so I may not have as much of a dependency on money

[real rose]

if this was 2018 i'd call that a weird flex, but i understand

[grim cloud]

its probably on facebook or instagram official groups, or doomworld

[frail bloom]

I see

[real rose]

i'll think it over, i've still got a lot of time left to pre-order
anyway thanks for the advice and chat

[frail bloom]

You're welcome

[grim cloud]

sadly i see no real benefit for premium digital version, EA on a monday doesn't intrigue

[frail bloom]

That's understandable

[grim cloud]

its going to be rough week, knowing i can't play for a few days.

[frail bloom]

Avoid any media on your device when that happens

Avoid all spoilers

[grim cloud]

i have no self control, ill need to go camping or something far away from people, or check into rehab

goin on a mini vacation may not be a bad idea ngl

[plain iron]

AW THATS SO CUTE

Man that's a good name

[frail bloom]

Yeah like serrated, it's awesome

[plain iron]

I feel like the dragons a female tbh

Gettin the vibes

[frail bloom]

Idc if it's male or female, it's friend-coded either way

[plain iron]

She's also rather demonic in design imo

Maybe that's just the species of whatever she is

[frail bloom]

Makes me wonder why doomguy pushed away the witherin in the dlc if he had a dragon before

Unless maybe he considers serrat as a close one

[plain iron]

Nawh that push was a gentle one

It wasn't a bad push, think of it like gently pushing away ur cat

[frail bloom]

I see

They should definitley explore doomguys emotions more

In more subtle ways tho

Like 2016 or eternal with those first person cutscenes,

Littlr nuggets about his personality

[lucid rover]

Yo do you think that they are going to sell more merch of the slayer equipment such as the shield etc?

[frail bloom]

I mean I didn't expect the helmet so I don't see why not

[shut whale]

Just saw the new post on doom twitter and Hugo showed amazing concept arts especially a drawing of Emerson Tung

[frail bloom]

Was it the dragon

What else did you see

[frail bloom]

Oh I saw it

The art is sick!!

Is he hinting at more classic demons?

[shut whale]

No probably new demons

[feral cargo]

guys, when we can expect full gameplay reveal?

[placid saffron]

3 days before launch day for an unfiltered one

[frail bloom]

I know that, but he showed the caco and pinky, I'm probably wrong

[sonic turret]

What's male or female?

[frail bloom]

The dragon idk

[sonic turret]

Oh.

[frail bloom]

Someone thought it was female but it's inconsenquential

[sonic turret]

Maybe if it's female, it'll lay eggs and we can breed them and stuff.

[frail bloom]

[sonic turret]

Like a chocobo farm.

[pallid wing]

😂

Tamigotchi in 2025

[hard thistle]

Do you think theyre showing new footage at the dtda event at los angeles

[frail bloom]

They are?

How do you know this

[hard thistle]

People r posting on twitter

[frail bloom]

Oh that explains it

I'll check later

[hard thistle]

People apparently got to play it as well

[frail bloom]

What!

Hold on

I can't find anything for some reason

May you describe what they said

And a description of the event in general

[hard thistle]

I dont think theyre allowed to talk about the gameplay yet

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1334054884533866529/1349165776044818583/IMG_0522.png?ex=67d21c0b&is=67d0ca8b&hm=7c84405e70c3dc1486e1ba00c9df074b601a4248364d17878d674dd056d9bcfd&

[frail bloom]

Oh ok

[spare panther]

I need that shieldsaw so bad

[wooden acorn]

same

[prime sentinel]

hope we get some footage/gameplay from this event soon

[frail bloom]

I'm led on to believe that we'll get a short hugo clip each week

Build up hype maybe

[prime sentinel]

the concept art thing is the first of a series it said

[frail bloom]

What do you mean first?

Wasn't there the "hugo reacts to your comments" thing

[prime sentinel]

the video where he talks about that piece of concept art

[prime sentinel]

that was a series done by multiple xbox devs

[frail bloom]

Oh so they're starting now

[prime sentinel]

yeah there will be more videos of Hugo discussing concept art

[frail bloom]

Sweet man

I needs to see the archvile

[prime sentinel]

or maybe not just concept art, the series is called "the art of slaying" though

and the tweet says that that was the first episode

[frail bloom]

I think they're not showing that much so they avoid spoiling things they find important

Cuz the marketing campaign for eternal spoiled like every demon

Hugo's probably holding himself back lol

Brimming with excitement

[wooden acorn]

they've had to lock Hugo away so he doesn't spoil anything like Tom Holland

[frail bloom]

Yeah basically

He has to act nonchalant but we know he's giddy

[wooden acorn]

I just realized the health and armor position are swapped

armor on the left and health on the right

[frail bloom]

I mean that hud is old anyway liks hugo said

It might change positioning or may not, but it'll look more clean

[wooden acorn]

yee fair, just strange seeing them flipped like that lol

[prime sentinel]

I think logically it makes sense

since the armor guards your health

[frail bloom]

I have no qualms with placement, but it'll change looks for sure

[prime sentinel]

so it makes sense to have it ahead of health from left to right

I wonder what the HUD face looks like now

I'm so happy they included it, classic

[frail bloom]

The closest we have is that updated face

I'm not sure if it'll still be a hologram or not

Don't care either way cuz it's addition is awesome

[prime sentinel]

I think it works better if its a hologram, having a floating head on screen looks a little weird, its already a goofy ass concept (that I love)

[wooden acorn]

I think it looks closer to his face from some snippets I've seen

[prime sentinel]

but is it a hologram?

[frail bloom]

Looks like it

So far

[wooden acorn]

nah it's his face painted onto an egg

[plain iron]

[prime sentinel]

I guess before it was like, a bald guy with very few distinguishable features

[prime sentinel]

yeah okay I like this a lot

[prime sentinel]

🥚

[wooden acorn]

ye

[plain iron]

Clearly you don't own a air fryer 🙄

[prime sentinel]

stop exposing me like this

I can't handle it anymore 😢

[wooden acorn]

do you think Doomyguy would own one

[plain iron]

I own one

[prime sentinel]

he doesn't need one, he gets pizza every day

[plain iron]

Samuel got him one for his assumed birthday fr

He uses it to heat up pizza

[wooden acorn]

UAC brand air fryer

[frail bloom]

You gotta make a comic on this or smt

[wooden acorn]

it uses a tiny hell portal to heat the food

[frail bloom]

Some real shenanigzans

[prime sentinel]

lmao

[plain iron]

Fine ima whip the tablet out

[prime sentinel]

bro is doing too much just use the michaelwave

[plain iron]

He don't have one he broken it :[

He put a metal dish in it

[prime sentinel]

😔

[wooden acorn]

so sad

[prime sentinel]

do you think they confiscate the shield saw at the end of TDA, because why isn't he using it in 2016 and Eternal

[frail bloom]

Me when I don't use the michaelwave

[wooden acorn]

probably gets lost or something

taken by the demons

maybe that's the metal dish he put in the michaelwave

[plain iron]

Hrrr this fucking mowerman

I imagine that's how loud the shieldsaw is

[wooden acorn]

it's probably about as loud as an actual chainsaw

or a smaller one

[plain iron]

Its hurting mah ears

[wooden acorn]

he has ear protection it's okay

[plain iron]

Maykr brand earplugs

[wooden acorn]

lmao

meant his helmet probably has built in hearing protection but that's a better idea

[plain iron]

He uses them when he goes to concerts 😔

[lucid saffron]

that'd look sick as fuck

[vapid lodge]

I can't wait for us to gather again on voice channel, the same way when Eternal was launched

Probably its not gonna be as many people because Eternal launched during the pandemic

[plain iron]

Man it would be so cool

[plucky ingot]

[obsidian shard]

COUNT ME IN

[hard thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-lying-down-gif-9928474

What the dragon looks like when not killing demons

[fading mantle]

The deluxe version is $100 and the game is $70?How much is the DLC separately?

[hard thistle]

Deluxe upgrade costs $35

[fading mantle]

Oh

Is the price for the story DLC known yet?

[plain iron]

Not that we know of, but given the price of TAG it would be around the same range

[proud vine]

I like to believe that the dragons act like a goofy golden retriever when they are not killing demons

[fallow mica]

Can’t wait for dark ages

Hebeth reactor

[plain iron]

Wait huh

Please tell me the Argent D'nut doesn't have a nuclear reactor

[hard thistle]

That area where they showcased mech combat, that's what it is

[grim cloud]

yah def a place where you destroy buildings in a mech

[hard thistle]

Heb

Eth

[plain iron]

oh my God they do.

[grim cloud]

guess we go into the lab before or after atlan ridding season

[plain iron]

I'm. I'm very abnormal over this

Praying that they don't say some shit that's completely wrong abt nuclear reactors

"Oh we cool it w ice n shit" NO YOU DONT YOU FUCKER

[boreal pecan]

whta does premium version contain?

[delicate grotto]

You’ll have free access to the DLC once it’s released, so it’s like buying it in advance.
You also get a digital art book and soundtrack to download with the game.
A free skin pack.
2-day early access, which I assume only allows you to download it early, not play it early.

[boreal pecan]

so better wait until it releases?

[delicate grotto]

Up to you. Premium is an additional $30, which is what the DLC will be priced at. You get some free stuff for the same price by purchasing the premium edition.

[slender night]

You **play **it early with the early access

[delicate grotto]

That’s how I view it at least.

[delicate grotto]

Ah sweet. Not sure how I feel about that tbh, but cool regardless.

I’d rather everyone get to experience it on release day, but that’s just me.

[slender night]

Especially with how content creators love to beat the game release day and upload spoilers online without any indicator

[delicate grotto]

Lol, yep. That’s going to suck…

[plain iron]

That's why I'm gonna turn my WiFi off

I'll only have my data on so I can get the message to pick up my copy

[summer obsidian]

Or when they get early access

[summer obsidian]

But like early=more money

[wooden acorn]

Day 48 of 112

[wooden acorn]

She heb on my eth Till i esplode

[wooden acorn]

The Hebeth nuclear reactor will be powered by love and cooled with friendship

[sleek ermine]

Im pretty sure download n play early

[grim cloud]

9 weeks from now, we all be playing or installing the game.

[graceful lion]

the game will probably be downloadable early for everyone

but earlier for premium edition people i guess

or maybe the same, possibly the same

[sleek ermine]

Not me due to my too old PC

[graceful lion]

yooo same

especially the gpu, these are fucking expensive

found a 2070 super for like 120 or something

[sleek ermine]

Man. RT is necessary nowadays? Then kill my top of the line GTX series GPU

[sleek ermine]

That’s like not that expensive ngl. I can get that in 3(?) months

[graceful lion]

for me it definitely is

[graceful lion]

rt is not necissary, they just put it on because of poor optimization, since older gpus cannot handle the game ig

and either way older gpus will ahve issues with newer games

becuase yk, no longer updated and shit

[grim cloud]

i got a 4090 for decent price, it arrives in a week

i didn't like how 50 series were doing, only the 5090 seemed to do better and it was more than twice the price

[winter idol]

the hebeth reactor looks sick, finally got good wind effects for mars with the sand coming off the buildings

[hard thistle]

I agree with the sand effects

Very cool inded

[weak imp]

So long...

[wooden acorn]

almost half way tho

[hard thistle]

We r getting gameplay footage on the 31st and (probably) trailer 2

[frail bloom]

That's awesome

[hard thistle]

Within this month

[frail bloom]

Anyone might know what that giant green thing the slayer jumped on at the end of the direct?

I have a theory that it's dlc footage for the champion titan

https://tenor.com/view/doom-doom-slayer-doom-the-dark-ages-running-shield-gif-9421503152433868450

[wooden acorn]

The champion titan was before he got his armor tho I believe

[frail bloom]

But that ain't his praetor suit

[wooden acorn]

Could just be a cool scene where he attacks a titan

Hmm fair

[frail bloom]

He got his praetor suit from the wretch, the suit he's wearing is different

[wooden acorn]

I always assumed the praetor suit and the suit in the dark ages are the same

[hard thistle]

Neither the base game or the dlc will be ending with the slayer getting trapped
And the fight with the champion titan happens not long before he gets entombed

[wooden acorn]

It’s got the red button

[frail bloom]

Cmon man is it too long tho? They can't do a timeskip or smt

[frail bloom]

I thought the praetor suit was a replacement for the suit he's wearing now honestly

[wooden acorn]

Also a good theory

We will know (maybe) when the game comes out

[frail bloom]

How do you know it's not too long if each testament can possibly last thousands of years? Again Hugo says it leads to the slayers testaments, otherwise he would be lying, because why would he mention that

[hard thistle]

The fight with the titan and the slayers entombment are mentioned within the same testament

[frail bloom]

I don't remember that, lemme look for the image

[hard thistle]

I dont know for sure how long they are set apart in real time

[frail bloom]

I see

No I saw it you're right

Idk why they mentioned it honestly

What're they doing? Building up hype for the next game when the one they're working on hasn't released? It's confusing me

[feral cargo]

guys, any news on gameplay reveal for DA?

[prime sentinel]

we got it like a month ago

[raw relic]

i can pay 30 euro to get 2 extra days of gameplay?

[feral cargo]

yeah but its edited

I am waiting on uncut

[prime sentinel]

all you said was gameplay reveal, my bad

[cyan lotus]

Game comes out in 2 months anyways I wouldn’t stress too hard over not having uncut gameplay

[prime sentinel]

there is no way there won't be some sort of B Roll or whatever given to press

[grim cloud]

there might be more gameplay later this month

and PC Gamer has a issue about TDA in a week

[prime sentinel]

I think we will definitely have like a solid half hour of gameplay before the game comes out

not to mention the reviews obviously

[cyan lotus]

Good or bad I still intend to play it otherwise I wouldn’t even be forming my own opinion on whether or not it’s good or bad

[prime sentinel]

I am going in wanting to like it a lot so I am probably going to like it through sheer will

[cyan lotus]

I’ll go in expecting to like it as well

[prime sentinel]

I find that I tend to like games much more when I want to lol

Hard to explain but last year I was just having fun playing games and it reminded me that I like video games :p

[cyan lotus]

I don’t envision myself liking TDA more than eternal though, even if its more enjoyable, a bit of sunk cost I suppose, putting another 2000 hours into a doom game sounds arduous

[prime sentinel]

Hm I would think I’m probably at around that for classic doom

But eternal I have a bit over 100 hours

Time well spent, if there’s enough stuff to do I can imagine sinking that amount of time into dark ages over a few years

[plucky plinth]

same if not less

[prime sentinel]

No way to track my hours

Since I mainly play through source ports (woof atm)

[plucky plinth]

same

I basically never played through the official ports

I fuckin' loved Woof btw. But I later switched to Nugget Doom, and as of recent Nyan Doom

[prime sentinel]

1+2 is quite good, especially now that you can play mods online easily

[plain iron]

You don't pay 30 bucks for it man

[plain iron]

There's other shit included

[raw relic]

i know

like what?

[plucky plinth]

there's too many issues for me to recommend it

had absolutely nothing but problems with that

as have others

[prime sentinel]

I think it’s fine? At least at this point, and no the gameplay is not different

[plain iron]

A skin set, dlc access, digital soundtrack and artbook and I think something else but I forgor

[prime sentinel]

I know you claimed that but in terms of complevel 2, it is vanilla behavior

[plucky plinth]

I'm not referring to gameplay, although I have personal nitpicks.
Even as of now, these are the issues either I or others have experienced

• Crash on opening settings
• Crash on opening automap
• Crash on leaving multiplayer
• Crash on joining multiplayer
• Several netcode-related bugs, like making the player disconnected from the mobj or making everything really small
• Massive HOM issues even on official maps

gimme a second, fat fingered enter

[raw relic]

dlac makes it gooder, steam just claims early access

[plain iron]

That's steam for you

[prime sentinel]

Hmmm mine doesn’t crash on settings but I’m sorry if you’re having problems, there have been crashes every once in a while in deathmatch or co op

But it’s not enough to deter me from using it for convenience sake

[humble moon]

this new port always crashes when im playing multiplayer

[prime sentinel]

Having a lobby system is a huge plus

[raw relic]

wonder is i should invest in collectors bundle to sell it later

[prime sentinel]

I can’t justify buying it

Especially since I’m already getting a new pc just to play the damn thing

[delicate grotto]

Same here.
Although I think the premium version is worth it. Wish you could get a physical version of the artbook though.

Maybe at a later date

[plucky plinth]

I'm conflicted on buying premium or standard

[prime sentinel]

I think I will buy premium

I know for a fact I will buy the DLC if I don't, and getting it 3 days early is a plus

[plucky plinth]

there's a chance I might be unable to even use the extra 3 days because I'd be buying physical

[prime sentinel]

like I can't imagine the DLC getting announced and me being like "huh, I don't want this!" unless the base game turns out to be really bad

which I'm fairly confident won't be the case

[raw relic]

i wanna play it on 120 3440p

[prime sentinel]

I wanna play 144 fps 2k

[delicate grotto]

Yeah this is my sentiment

So, might as well buy it in advance with the premium version

[prime sentinel]

this is probably more excited than I was for Eternal

just because its taking a big left turn

[raw relic]

look like im gonna need a 4080

[plucky plinth]

I'd get it on PC if not for Denuvo

yes, I am more than aware Eternal had it

[raw relic]

how will it run on console?

[plucky plinth]

yes, I did wait for it to be removed before buying it on PC

[frail bloom]

60 fps should be the minimum

[raw relic]

i know i wonder about looks

[prime sentinel]

they keep jerking me around with the pc I want on amazon

sometimes its there, sometimes its unavailable, like, day to day

[plucky plinth]

oof

wish I could tell you why

[prime sentinel]

its nice for 1899 USD, Ryzen 9 7900x, 4070 ti super (probably the culprit for it appearing and disappearing at random)

32 gigs of ram obvs

[frail bloom]

Should look better than the last 2 but it may be possible that you won't get 120 fps like eternal

[plucky plinth]

I need to upgrade my GPU tbh

it's only 8 GB

got the thing as a gift, they didn't really know much about the VRAM side of things

[prime sentinel]

yeah same here I have a 2070s which I believe has 8 gigs of VRAM

the 4070ti Super has double that

[plucky plinth]

I have a 3070 Ti

[raw relic]

it costs 6 ti9mes as much

im poor only have 1080 ti

[prime sentinel]

its like more than 100 percent faster, however

which is a massive increase

[raw relic]

yes

but i wouldnt p[ay more than 4 time more for 2x more performance

[prime sentinel]

prices actually aren't very far off :p

unless we're talking the used market

[raw relic]

u can get a usewwd 2070s for undr 200 euro now 4070ti super over 1000

[prime sentinel]

my 2070S is feeling super dated, I could barely play Indiana Jones and that game wasn't poorly optimized

I'm sure Dark Ages would be "playable" but that isn't what I want

idk hope that makes sense to you

[raw relic]

kinda obvious nthat you want a more than playabale experience

[prime sentinel]

maybe by the time I have it all together the hype for the 9070 xt will have died down a bit and they will be more available

though, prices in the US are likely about to get even shittier than they already were

[feral vault]

All I want is an rx 7600

If I can play this game at 1080p 60 fps iam happy

[sterile sage]

What was FINISHING MOVE like in other game OST?

[obsidian shard]

peak

[tepid drum]

4070 doesn't cost 1000 euro

[sterile sage]

How about finishing move

[obsidian shard]

They've Don't Halo 2 remake
Halo Wars 2
Borderlands 3
The Colistal Protocol
Massive Chalice

And A Lot of their Own thing

They've made some Synth stuff

Just good Team

[unkempt cape]

What happened to my comment, it disappeared?

Oh, I commented in the wrong room. 🫢

[weak imp]

Play test for doom TDA is now

[prime sentinel]

thank you, Davoth

[weak imp]

I have no more information, its youtuber "Horde Mod Gaming"
Post that : "I had opportunity to play Doom TDA, more détail soon"

[graceful lion]

2070 super has 12 gigs, no?

[prime sentinel]

oh maybe it does?

no its 8

there's a variant with 12 but mine was from before that version released

[graceful lion]

i see

well i saw some guy selling a 2070s for like 120 or 130 or something and its significantly better than my card

[prime sentinel]

its really showing its age at least from my perspective

most new games still run, but usually you gotta crank DLSS and it looks blurry

if you can get it for cheap and its a significant upgrade then go for it, but don't expect a card that can handle everything anymore

of course, it runs games from 5 years ago brilliantly at 1080p

Doom Eternal, Red Dead 2, Tony Hawk 1+2, the recent RE games, Elden Ring, TLOU part 1, Lies of P

all that stuff runs great, but the Silent Hill 2 remake ran horribly, it struggled with Indiana Jones, Marvel Rivals actually runs really well for whatever reason though

oh, relevant to you I suppose, Doom Eternal runs spectacularly, but that's to be expected

of course the GPU isn't the only factor here, but this was a pretty decent rig in 2019

back then over 1000 dollars meant you were getting a good ass pc, times have changed a bit :p

[placid saffron]

And indies, which make up a majority of actualy good games 😎

[placid saffron]

I mean marvel rivals really shouldn't be that hard to run, Indiana Jones has rtx forced and the 2070 is basically at the bottom of what it can allow and idk why RE2r struggles so much

DA should have about the same performance as indiana jones

[slender night]

I never upgraded my PC because I had the mindset of "it's too tricky and I mostly play old games anyway, I have an xbox for newer games" and now PC exclusives I want to play are slowly slipping out of my PC's capabilities even on minimum requirements so that's bad

[prime sentinel]

no SH2 remake ran horribly not RE2 remake

the recent RE games all run great

[placid saffron]

Upgraded my pc only once so far because my gpu straight up died playing slime rancher

It was an old gpu from my brother so hardly unexpected it died

[slender night]

I'm looking to upgrade soon but all things considered it's not a BAD setup, it's equivalent in power to a PS3

[placid saffron]

Oh nvm i'm illiterate
Unsure how intensive that game should be

[placid saffron]

not a bad setup
equivelant to a ps3

That uhhhh sounds bad

[slender night]

I never said it's good

[prime sentinel]

its a recent game on UE5

which is an engine that is already notorious for pc performance

[placid saffron]

I mean you said "not bad" but ps3 definitely sounds bad 😭

[prime sentinel]

though, again, Marvel uses UE5 and runs great for me

though I've heard other people have issues with it

[placid saffron]

Yeah it's a tool, doesn't tell the whole story

[slender night]

Judging by console hardware, which is what most modern games are optimized for, I'm a bit above the middle, which isn't great but it gets me highest quality on every retro thing I play and should at least hold out for a bit longer in the minimum specs thing

[placid saffron]

Usually most devs just kind of drop the ball with ue5 from the small bits i've heard

[placid saffron]

At the least for indies, i expect most AAA content going forward to become more and more rtx dependant
But those games tend to not be great anyways

[slender night]

Though like standard RTX graphics cards are getting reasonably priced lately right? I always saw it as a luxury but from what I hear lately that's not quite the case

Standard as in older ones

[prime sentinel]

RTX has been the standard for like 5 years

[slender night]

I don't keep up with hardware trends because if I were to count my Steam library entries it'd be like 80% older titles I can run effortlessly

[prime sentinel]

I mean that's fine for you, but RTX is not really a luxury, and hasn't been for years

RTX support that is

not necessarily having the power to run all games with RTX on with a reasonable framerate because that IS a luxury

[slender night]

I think I'm just gonna pick out a lower tier RTX card as I need to upgrade from my GTX 1650 and I also wanna play Quake II RTX properly because it's funny

[hard thistle]

can I get this on Xbox one

[slender night]

Nope, not gonna be on last gen

[hard thistle]

can I get this on ps5

[slender night]

Yes

[hard thistle]

is it gonna be like 80$

why are games like a 100$ nowadays

[plain iron]

Inflation

It's just gonna get worse

[hard thistle]

I grew up with games like 15$ too 30 at most

I mostly play AA games or old games because new ones too expensive

[plain iron]

Base TDA is for me, $100aud+, premium is almost $200aud

[hard thistle]

😞

that's basically a console

[slender night]

Where are you buying consoles for about 100 bucks...

[plain iron]

Second hand.

[hard thistle]

A Xbox is 200$

[plain iron]

I got my ps4 for 80 bucks

[hard thistle]

my ps5 was 400

[plain iron]

That shit was great

[hard thistle]

my mom won't buy a 200$ game or 100$

[slender night]

I mean if we're judging a new game by used console standards why not consider in a few years the game will be at gaming stores for like 20 bucks

[hard thistle]

do premium have dlc

I don't care about skins or stuff

[plain iron]

Yup, plus soundtrack and artbook

[hard thistle]

i want dlc

I love dlcs I'll buy Any dlc

it completes the game

[prime sentinel]

will use it as a benchmark on my new pc for sure

[lyric walrus]

why is the price so hi

[plain iron]

Inflation

[lyric walrus]

k

[placid saffron]

It's not inflation, it's corporate pricr hiking

[unborn tiger]

doom the light short amount of time when

[lyric walrus]

ok i understand now

[placid saffron]

Games are still growing as an industry and MS still makes bank with their games branch

Inflation is merely the excuse they use to increase the pricr with a whopping 33%, that's a LOT more then inflation...

[slender night]

The amount of times I have seen a variation of this joke is astonishing

[lucid saffron]

to learn more, search "Doom inflation"

[balmy dagger]

I be feeling like

Waiting for doom the dark age's

[placid saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-relax-relaxing-pool-gif-4628625

How it feels knowing i won't let myself get ripped off by a trillion dollar company

[slender night]

Lucina is actually a salesperson for Bethesda, this is reverse psychology so you buy the game out of spite

[obsidian shard]

When the Game is Game, so you pay the Price of game, and the price of the game, is the game

[placid saffron]

Microsoft*
And if you buy a game out of spite because someone is critical againt anti-consumer practices be my guest i guess

[slender night]

See she didn't deny it I cracked the code

Gonna pre-order my CE now thanks

[languid granite]

this is so real

[placid saffron]

Only one??? Man that's dumb

[slender night]

So true, gonna sell off my stuff to afford 4 more copies, guess it's goodbye to my dog

[placid saffron]

Remember kids: even if you can't afford our over-premium priced games, god gave you 2 kidneys for a reason!

[slender night]

I'm personally gonna wait for the game to go on sale or get a price reduction before I even consider buying it but I don't see the point in shaming those who buy it right now

[hard thistle]

crazy

[slender night]

40 euros isn't even that bad though

[hard thistle]

for a game.

[slender night]

Yes for a game

[hard thistle]

yes it is

[slender night]

I paid about that much for Marvel's Spider-Man and I don't regret that purchase

[hard thistle]

its a lil bit longer than the other marvels sm games

but still, nothing too crazy

[slender night]

As of right now it costs more than 40 euros anyway so

[hard thistle]

yea

but 40 euros might be standard for a mid-upper class family

i mean im not poor but i consider it overpriced

for doom eternal i waited till jan 2024 to buy it for 18 or 20 euro

[summer obsidian]

It’s worth it. Spider-Man miles morales is not worth the 60 but Spider-Man remastered and Spider-Man 2 are

[placid saffron]

40 is still a lot considering you can get many great games for like 10-20 each usually

60 is even more, but definitely not outragious. I wouldn't pay it except for the absolute best games atleast

But 80 is just a stupid price hike, and it's even more annoying people defend the trillion dollar company with less then half the story...

[slender night]

Quality over quantity

I got a bunch of great SM games for like 20 bucks total so I see your point but I still don't regret my 40 dollar purchase

[placid saffron]

Generally the price of games don't have a lot to do with their quality, and i specified "many great games"

[slender night]

Sure but the 40 euro game in question can hypothetically be a better time just as much as it can be worse

[placid saffron]

If anything more expensive games tend to overemphasise quantity by bloating the game so marketing can spam "biggest X ever!!"

But 40 euro games don't experience that curse often as most bloat is with the AAA studios

[placid saffron]

Yeah, it depends on the actual game ofc.
But 40 remains quite a bit

[lucid saffron]

as a person who has 4 warhammer armies this game is a light price

[slender night]

I can see 40 as entering the pricier point but I can still tolerate a game being at this price

[placid saffron]

Same

[lucid saffron]

have you seen Lego Incredible when it released?

shit was like $90

[slender night]

I think the best deal I got on a game was a discount of, unironically, about 98% off

[slender night]

Nope, but it still costs a lot which is crazy considering other Lego games can go for dirt

[placid saffron]

That's just a scam

[lucid saffron]

i know

waited like 6 years to get it on PS+

[placid saffron]

Tbh the WH minis require more effort to make every individual piece which drives things up a ton

[slender night]

Only once did I spend a big sum of money on a game happily, it was like 40 euro

[lucid saffron]

$7000 later

[placid saffron]

Videogames you "only" have to make the singular product and you then have infinite, nigh free supply untill the end of.time

[slender night]

Game goes for like 1000 dollars I think I got a good deal

[lucid saffron]

scam games do

[slender night]

Unless you do physical releases

Toys to life cost Disney a loss of half a billion

[placid saffron]

Most physical releases nowadays just have a disc with the download key on it

[slender night]

On PC yes, on console no

[placid saffron]

It's more costs but like, if you want physical you should choose to pay that extra for practically nothing

They should scrap that deal where digital games can't be cheaper, it makes less sense nowadays

[slender night]

I hope physical doesn't go out of production, at least for console

I vastly prefer digital gaming but if something is digital only and gets delisted, well fuck

[placid saffron]

Yarrr

[slender night]

Good luck on console

[placid saffron]

That's also the price you pay :)

And you can crack some consoles, though i only know the switch had a relatively active community around it. And that's also solely because nintendo actually gives a slight reason for some exclusives (actually having to use the console's exclusive features)...

[slender night]

Discussion not for this time and place anyway, I'm a good rule abiding citizen

[plain iron]

Lowkey I love consoles

[slender night]

Coincidentally it's happened to me a few times where when I buy something it gets delisted not long after

[placid saffron]

Yeah that's why i don't really further it apart from acknowledging it's existance

[slender night]

Simplicity at the cost of freedom

[plain iron]

I am a simple man

[slender night]

I think it's handy to keep a (even weak) PC if you have a console, especially a PS4/5

[plain iron]

Yeah I do have a shitty laptop

I plan on getting a prebuilt too

[placid saffron]

Implying just having steam on Windows isn't simple...

[plain iron]

Moreso the physical parts

[slender night]

Have fun trying to get a physical game from the 2000s working when it barely has any documentation online

Even some Steam games need fixing

[plain iron]

Me w IHNMAIMS

Sometimes the ui is misshapen and I'm sitting here like 🧍‍♂️

I can't save either so I have to restart

[grim cloud]

marketing for tda is coming in like a freight train. You can hear it in the distance

[grim cloud]

bascially 2 months away now

[winter idol]

daily bluesky posts are nice

[sleek ermine]

I wanan get the game but my very old PC ruin it for me

Why? Well i5 CPU and GTX 1660

[somber silo]

i wanna know if i buy the premium edition on steam bvut is it only a pregameplay or somethig more?

[plucky plinth]

You get full access to the game 3 days early

[sleek ermine]

Including DLC when it releases and the Divinity skins for the Atlan Mech and Mecha Dragon

[weary current]

are we gonna get snapmap back in a big update for TDA, or something similar per-chance? (this sounds implausible but i'm just wondering)

[grim cloud]

no, just singelplayer dlc

[weary current]

oh ok

[noble basin]

I am so EXCITED

IM BUYING THE PS5 COLLECTORS EDITION TOMORROW!!!!

[ripe sky]

i will miss glory killing every 2 seconds

[slender night]

I won't

[plucky plinth]

I won’t either

[kindred summit]

Wdym ps5 collector edition

[wooden acorn]

The collectors edition of the new hit doom game, Doom the dark ages, for the Sony company console, the PlayStation 5

Some say it will be the first game the console has

[kindred summit]

Oh alright

I misunderstood at first but yeah i remember

[weary current]

it's time to move on to something different, as someone on one of the forums said

[plucky plinth]

Pretty much

I hated glory kills

[wheat sigil]

this seems like irony to me xd

[slender night]

@lucid saffron What's with the reaction lol

[plucky plinth]

Some people do genuinely like that btw

[slender night]

I for one liked the glory kills, but I also like DOOM II, doesn't mean I want every single game to be 1:1 to DOOM II

[weary current]

do you think we're gonna get the 2016 praetor suit skin at some point

[slender night]

We've had 5 campaigns with glory kills, 2 multiplayer modes, end an entire level editor with them. I think it's time to let go

[fleet spruce]

The new glory kill system is very reminiscent of the one from earlier builds of Doom 2016 (when it was still Doom 4)

[lucid saffron]

🟰 👊 💥

[slender night]

ok

[ripe sky]

nah not irony i just like glory kills

[weary current]

really? if so, then i'd say it makes a lot of sense lol

oh

[wooden acorn]

How can caco punch they don’t have the arms for it

[plucky plinth]

They did in 64 I think

[lucid saffron]

use your imagination

[plucky plinth]

Unless I’m misremembering

[slender night]

They have a giant hand in DOOM 3

[plucky plinth]

Fuckin’ bitchslaps you mid fight

[slender night]

Would be funny if it wasn't an action horror game

[ripe sky]

they still do theyre just really small now in doom 2016 and eternal

[wooden acorn]

💪

[slender night]

So... they don't....

[lucid saffron]

pain elemental

[slender night]

I said they have a giant hand, you said "they do but they're small" yeah but that's not a giant hand

[fleet spruce]

the whole unsynchronized nature of it is definitely from there, TDA melee and GK system looks like a polished version of that

[plucky plinth]

It’s giant for ants

[slender night]

The early 2016 glory kills feel a lot like combat takedowns from Wolfenstein to me

[lucid saffron]

i like how crunchy and modular the eternal ones are

[plucky plinth]

They are worse in Eternal

[ebon shale]

agreed

[plucky plinth]

They’re way, way more repetitive

Happen even more somehow

[lucid saffron]

i'd say the same for 2016

[plucky plinth]

And then on top of that you see the same animation at a much higher chance

2016 at least had some variation.

I still don’t like them both

But I’d rather to be subjected with 2016’s

[lucid saffron]

i'd rather take ripping out the spine of a demon rather than punch punch boom

[wheat sigil]

i honestly don't really care about variation and stuff, it's just about the forced animation where the player doesn't do anything

[plucky plinth]

This is the main issue

But that’s where some variety helps

[lucid saffron]

i feel that its warrented because i like blinking

[wheat sigil]

at least you can ignore GKs in Eternal for the most part without any repercussions

[slender night]

I like glory kills but in the end I wanna shoot in a first person shooter

[fluid nacelle]

Idk aren't there more glory kills in eternal?

[slender night]

Do you blink for 2 seconds at a time

[fluid nacelle]

In 2016 mancubus only has 2 different ones

[lucid saffron]

i blink when there isn't 400 demons shooting me

[fluid nacelle]

Like 5 in eternal

[plucky plinth]

Eternal is mainly just slicing once or twice, and without the environment GKs

[wheat sigil]

you can blink in normal combat

[lucid saffron]

but i don't play normal much anymore

i like master levels

[fluid nacelle]

Idk like
The prowler glory kills tho

[plucky plinth]

Honestly, I don’t like glory kills as is

And I’m completely ignoring my stance on resource management here

[wheat sigil]

i like custom master levels and randomizers, but i just referred to combat in general

[plucky plinth]

I am strictly talking about GKs and their implementation

[fluid nacelle]

Im def gonna try randomizer

Might be stupid but

Also fun

[wheat sigil]

try an unbalanced randomizers in arc complex

[plucky plinth]

This would skew my sentences even more than they already are

[wheat sigil]

(don't)

randomizers are amazing, but they work better on some levels

[cyan lotus]

Try unbalanced randomizer in world spear pinky room

[wheat sigil]

the one with the acid floor?

[cyan lotus]

One before the escalation encounter

[wheat sigil]

uh idk which that is

[cyan lotus]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxBS1tXT8Sxhy1MTnfB6HkbkV8OYhXEE5l?si=IDgIEHTARMymSNzN

It’s okay when it’s primarily imps but that room is not made for being randomized

Sylar should have a video of a randomized WS for reference

[wheat sigil]

ohh lol

i remember the last time i used a randomizer on that level it went great until i came to the small room with acid

haven't tried the normal level with a randomizer

[ripe sky]

wait guys i just (Somehow) just realized that almost all glory kills in eternal are just "punch 1-2 times and then stab with a blade" idk how i just realized that now

[idle swallow]

just saw a news post on the Doom subreddit

the original form of the Doom Hunters, the Agaddon Hunters will appear! nice!

[spare panther]

yeah its the dude with the big horns from the first trailer

[ripe sky]

imagine marauder in dark ages

[frail bloom]

That's the agaddon hunter now

[wooden acorn]

agaddon hunter will separate the boys from the men, just like the marauder did in eternal

[frail bloom]

Why is your name a synonym of itself lol.

[slender night]

It's a differently-worded version of "Evil Dead 2"

[grim cloud]

they coming from telos

which must be a dimension hell ate, kepts the agadon beings and made them worse

[frail bloom]

Yeah that's what I meant lol

[lucid saffron]

the Agaddon Hunters from the talos realm?

of course some improvements on the design have been made

[wooden acorn]

Ya, the ones made the hunt the slayer

Specifically during the unholy crusade

[grim cloud]

how did they get buried on earth? that is whats strange .... we going to ancient earth in TDA?

[lucid saffron]

maybe they were shunted everywhere by hell or smth

[grim cloud]

well my head cannon, is the snowy place in eternal is hell because that makes more sense

[lucid saffron]

in pretty sure its still earth

[idle swallow]

it must be Talos Principle!

[grim cloud]

officially yes, but why are there massive titan skeletons on the surface?

[lucid saffron]

earth had some troubles

probably early native life that went extinct or killed by the sentinels because i think the sents went to earth

[noble basin]

I’m worried it’s gonna sell out:(

Before I can get it

[dark peak]

my only problem with glory kills is that there are some which move the camera downward, thats unsettling

in eternal you will use glory kills more for iframes and bloodpunch

[grim cloud]

ive always been indifferent with them, i also hated the flashing

[dark peak]

what flashing?

[hard thistle]

why do demons look grey and ugly

why no reds or purples or blues

they just like Doom 3 demons had babies with doom 2016

THEY LOOK LIKE SOME SORT OF DARK MEDIVEL MONSTER

[hard thistle]

Eternal establishes that the Agaddon Hunters were native Earth monsters in prehistoric times.

The Telos Realm shit is weird and I don't know why Ranak says that. It kind of contradicts the Codex.

[hard thistle]

nevermind that's the point

[weary current]

i can't stop watching the developer direct because of the gameplay, help me

[hard thistle]

everyone just so you know

the combat looks slower then it actually is its just slow for trailers

[grim cloud]

lore contradictions is Doom Eternal's middle name

[hard thistle]

PURPLE

[grim cloud]

that is if doom eternal was a person

[hard thistle]

demons lie duh

you gonna trust a demons word or codex

[grim cloud]

codex written by developers who probalby didn't double check holes in plot and story, or it was written by what the UAC knew taht the time

never a exact science with these demons and their lore

[hard thistle]

Because muh gritty medieval aesthetic

[hard thistle]

mancubusk is ugly

[keen bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-eternal-dance-hotdog-gif-21858428

[hard thistle]

ew

[keen bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-gif-25164052

[hard thistle]

he looks like a fat land lord

why do demons walk on guts

[keen bridge]

because its hell

[hard thistle]

I don't think he'll has guts

on the floor

he'll is pitch black only lit with fire

and also there is no blood in hell Because blood is holy

[keen bridge]

from the doom slayer/doom guy?

[hard thistle]

huh

[keen bridge]

the demons he killed

[hard thistle]

from the Biblical lore

real hell

they need to make accurate hell mod

IF PEOPLE CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT HISTORICAL ACURACY IN HISTORY GAMES I CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT BIBLICAL ACURACY IN A DEMON HELL GAME

[winged hatch]

Bru I didn't even spam

All I just said was

Hmmm mmmmmm

And somehow that's spamming???

[hard thistle]

I got banned for spam on a lego server for saying mwah

It just happens

[winged hatch]

Bru

[hard thistle]

don't annoy mods or they WILL MAKE IT PERSONAL

[winged hatch]

The Doom suit is a very interesting designed suit

[hard thistle]

that what I thought

[winged hatch]

Huh?

[hard thistle]

nothing

no englas

[winged hatch]

Ok Eddie Hall lol idk

[hard thistle]

what is that

are there any mods for doom the dark ages

I am bored of it

I beat it yesterday

[winged hatch]

Damn was it good or were the demons just weaklings

[hard thistle]

there are waves

[winged hatch]

noted

[hard thistle]

they are Weaker but there's more and it's kinda open world like assassins creed

some are strong though

doom

the under ages

[winged hatch]

So is it like an open game

[hard thistle]

you play as a mod killing under age users

DOOM THE BARK AGES

you BARK no bite

[winged hatch]

Lol

[hard thistle]

Doom the bright ages you just enjoy hevaen

coming soon

[winged hatch]

Nice meeting you Eddie Hall
(I hope you see at as a compliment and not offensive(l)

[hard thistle]

I don't know who that is

I'm Edward Eddie a nickname

[winged hatch]

World strongest man

[hard thistle]

I am skinny and short

I got the imp build

not the old imp they buff

I need a MANCUBUS BUILD

[winged hatch]

Oof for keep your hopes down build that body up like Doom

[hard thistle]

diet

[winged hatch]

Nice meeting you take care

[hard thistle]

wow like that💔

[winged hatch]

Sorry I'm busy

I just wanted to see my fellow Doom Slayers

[torpid lynx]

[winged hatch]

Hey doom bye doom I have to go rip and tear not to mention to also build the suit

[wooden acorn]

Doom the down under ages

[hard thistle]

booooooo

[frail bloom]

Yeah he ain't as handsome as he used to be... wait something ain't right...

[wooden acorn]

Day 49 of 112

[hard thistle]

Pov me after playing the game once

these things make Mr wanna kill my seld

[tardy flint]

so real

[hard thistle]

Fr

[marble rivet]

do you guys think TDA will have an in-game language change option?

[tardy flint]

probably

why not

[plain iron]

Probably, maybe some languages might be subtitle only, but most likely

[marble rivet]

I hope so, because I hate playing DOOM ETERNAL in Portuguese

I want to hear Hayden's voice

[vagrant path]

What if they went the extra mile and had a lore accurate dub of the sentinels and makyrs

[plain iron]

.... as in they speak their own language?

[vagrant path]

yeah.

cause remember they don't initially speak english according to the codex entries

[plain iron]

Sometimes they do

[vagrant path]

they describe the doomguys language as "an ugly tongue"

and how they had to learn of his language

[plain iron]

I have a few headcanons surrounding that time period tbh

I'd say Samur was forced to learn that ugly language

[lucid saffron]

french

oh mb

[summer obsidian]

I’m hoping the 3rd collectors item Bethesda releases isn’t something big. I know everyone wants the shield saw but I’ve already spent 400 on the first 2 collectors items. Hoping the last item is like 100

[plain iron]

I want either the flail or a shotgun replica

[summer obsidian]

Idk about the flail, even if not sharp they would have a LOT of issues shipping

[plain iron]

I mean, folk have made crucible, sentinel hammer, marauder axe replicas and have shipped them fine😭

[summer obsidian]

Rules for individuals and companies r different

Specifically international

[ripe sky]

mood lanrete

[ebon shale]

Most games these days don't have that option in game. You change it by going into the games properties. More or less the same on both PC and console

[slender night]

On Xbox you can go into settings and change your language to English. On PC, assuming you're on Steam, right click the game in your library and go into properties to change the language there

Just beware for the first one that some Xbox 360 games will have the wrong language. If this happens, change your region to an English-speaking one and reinstall the game. Then change back and boom, it's in English

[plain iron]

Guys I think they mean they want a Portuguese dub

Not just subtitles 😭

I mean, bethesda surely has the power and money for that

[slender night]

Nope, because there is already one

[raw relic]

i have anm idea for the game @ devs
many level variations like master lvls

should have a great time developing to time added to game ratio

[plain iron]

There's probably not gonna be masterlevels tbh, the levels might be too big for it

[wheat sigil]

i definitely think there'll be MLs

[slender night]

Might be master levels that are just a string of arenas from the level instead of the whole thing

[plain iron]

Hm, but that would be like hoardmode

[raw relic]

there is an easy solution; dividing them or more checkpoints in save slots

[plain iron]

... so like hoard mode?

[raw relic]

have played it neough to know how it works

i think its a a set oif arenax with a fixed number of lives

for all of them?

i think moe like master lvl lvls

with checkpoints that you can sva in save slots

[slender night]

Not quite

Horde mode is wave-based. From what we've seen of TDA that might not be the case

And I'm thinking no extra lives or bounty demons or RNG or stuff like that. Load in and fight

[vagrant path]

I hope they have some cutscenes or maybe even a prologue or smth taking place around the time of doom 64 or the lost levels

would be really interesting to see how exactly doom guy got transported to argent d'nur

[prime sentinel]

I doubt we’ll get that, but it could be cool

This is post divinity machine so idk, especially when you could make an entire game just about that

[delicate grotto]

From a gameplay standpoint it wouldn’t work. I’d prefer a short comic or something similar to explain those events.

[plain iron]

Doom always had lore.

Yeah and the manuals

[plucky plinth]

and if you count it, the Bible

[plucky plinth]

also, not the Christian Bible, the Doom Bible by Tom Hall

[plain iron]

Yeah but it's still lore

If you also count the books, there's loads of lore

[plucky plinth]

some people like story

[plain iron]

... have you ever tried to understand maykr lore dawg

That shits more complex than my vascular system

[plucky plinth]

and, with the exception of 2016 for some parts, you can ignore the story

[plain iron]

Bet you didn't know the entire maykr language is translatable, even in the codex images

[plucky plinth]

yes, even 3 is in that park of you can somewhat ignore it, cutscenes don't happen all too often in that game

[plain iron]

Which also has a doom 2 reference

Mm yes flat and explained out easy

doesn't understand a single part if it

[plucky plinth]

but yeah, story has been a thing in the Doom series since forever

and has almost always been ignorable

[plain iron]

... that's not really a thing my guy

[plucky plinth]

it was only a power fantasy in the newer games

[plain iron]

Doom isn't a power fantasy, only nudoom is

Doom 1, 2, 3 and 64 are about survival

[plucky plinth]

the original games were literally about survival

okay, we're just parroting eachother

that's only true for me

I call BS on that because I more than often not play games with zero graphics

ever heard of Rogue?

or Dwarf Fortress?

ZORK, even?

[plain iron]

Ofc you haven't

[plucky plinth]

yeah, those games actually need you to use your imagination

[plain iron]

Sounds like ur a zoomer 🙄

[plucky plinth]

... those games are older than you more than likely

minus Dwarf Fortress, as that came out in 2006-ish 2002

[plain iron]

I'm barely a kid either 💀

I turn into a adult at the end of this year

[plucky plinth]

ZORK is from 1977, Rogue is from '80

[plain iron]

... no we just want to have clearer information

Yeah we already know how that works

It's a alternative dimension, same hell, different mars

We do not play as the slayer in 3

[wooden acorn]

Stop before it’s too late

[plain iron]

Yeah and

You probably don't attribute much to the world and you exist

So like

[plucky plinth]

So what if it does nothing for gameplay? Then there's zero harm adding it in.

[plain iron]

What's your point

[plucky plinth]

With or without, same experience

[plain iron]

probably maybe 19

Anyways I'm so hyped for my TDA helmet to come in

Sounds like a skill issue

[prime sentinel]

You know personally I don’t think doom needs deep lore but I’m not really upset that it’s there

Old doom had a story but it wasn’t really “lore” it was more like context

[rocky atlas]

Agreed the lore adds to the story imo

[prime sentinel]

It’s kinda goofy and fun and over complicated so I’m okay with it

The new doom lore is bizarre and weird and the more I learn about it the more I’m kinda like “okay where is this going?”

Which I kinda like

[slender night]

Gotta be honest, Daisy's usage as being the sole reason he does all this feels like flanderization to me

[prime sentinel]

That’s fine because luckily the lore doesn’t need to factor into the enjoyment of the game

[prime sentinel]

It’s never outright said to be that

The daisy stuff has only ever been referenced

[slender night]

I'm referring to how fans treat it as that

[prime sentinel]

The reason he “does all this” is because as the player I want to kill demons

[slender night]

...so?

[grim cloud]

daisy was just the last staw

[slender night]

Yeah but people treat it as the sole reason

[prime sentinel]

Who cares

It’s goofy and fun so whatevs

[slender night]

Ts pmo vro what is he yapping about 💔

[prime sentinel]

Do maykrs have a language?

I know sentinels do

[plain iron]

Yup, we see it in TAG w the lamentations of the seraphs

[prime sentinel]

Cool, thanks, I can always count on you for the deets, you could lie to me and I would 100 percent believe you haha

[plain iron]

It's where the statement "through peace we guide the lost" along with several revelations quotes

[boreal pecan]

hey guys can i order the doom dark ages helmet merch to eu?

[prime sentinel]

Samuel Hayden?

[plain iron]

Do not hate on the intern.

[prime sentinel]

Doom Internal

[boreal pecan]

guys can i order the doom helmet merch to eu from us?

[plain iron]

The intern is the sweetest boy

[wooden acorn]

I believe so yes

[plain iron]

Probably, check the international store

[rocky atlas]

Agreed Samur intern is one of the best

[plain iron]

He deserves love and countless stuffed animals

[prime sentinel]

Doom Slayer is a big manly man and the intern is a soft boy

And Samuel Hayden is a fucking piece of shit

[boreal pecan]

they done making doom guy cooler each new game 😭🔥

[prime sentinel]

They kiss at the end if you didn’t finish it

[plain iron]

Yup, they kiss and the intern gets the slayer a flower

[prime sentinel]

You WHAT????

[plain iron]

Brother is denying himself the beautiful music that is davoth's theme.

He may be cringe, but he is free

[prime sentinel]

You know you can turn the voices off

Like just the voices

I don’t feel some type of way, I’m chilling

I’m in my bed, got work tonight

[slender night]

Cause I am free, it's the key, doesn't matter what people think of me

[plain iron]

Me fr 😔 I love being free and cringe

[prime sentinel]

Soul Cube is kinda like a glory kill if you think about it for a long time and have brain damage

[plain iron]

Olivia Pierce had the soul cube in 2016 iirc

[prime sentinel]

Actually the chainsaw is more apt I guess since it has charges

[slender night]

I see that as more of a cheeky reference than anything

Though it is nice to see

[prime sentinel]

I agree, so I’m glad the new one is making an effort to bring the lore into the cutscenes

Cause I don’t like reading but I will watch cutscenes on my first play through

It works fine enough, they can just make up whatever they want since the old one is so vague

[plain iron]

Multiverse is fun.

[prime sentinel]

Actually he stayed in hell to protect his universe

But he was found by another universe or some shit

[plain iron]

He flopped into the night sentinel's world

That's very cool

[prime sentinel]

He closed the portal or something and stayed in hell

Not to his universe as far as we know

Doom 64 is the end of that universe

Unless you count lost levels as canon I guess

Which I don’t really give a shit if it is because it doesn’t really change a whole lot

[plain iron]

Ew no

[prime sentinel]

Doom 2 is a game where you kill demons I think

[wheat sigil]

i disagree

[plain iron]

Doom isn't Christian in any degree, it's incredibly blasphemous

[prime sentinel]

🧀

[plain iron]

... I don't, I just hate when folk say that doom is Christian.

Because it isn't.

[prime sentinel]

I’m a real gamer heh not because I have 1 life but because I have many

[wheat sigil]

it quite literally isn't

[prime sentinel]

Sandy Petersen is a Mormon if that counts

[plain iron]

It is violent, it doesn't matter if it's against demons, the new games and the things it implies makes it horrendously blasphemous

[prime sentinel]

I think sandy is like 70 something

He was the eldest on the team

In a way I agree but there are multiple ways to look at art

And if you interpret Doom as a Christian game you have every right to, I know this is bait but I like playing along cause, like you, I’m bored and not sleeping for some reason

Hating demons doesn’t make me love the lord lol

[plain iron]

... yes but the fact that a man even tried to kill or best God, is blasphemous. That is not up to comprehension. If you believe in the things that nudoom implements, then it will clash with Christian ideals

[prime sentinel]

Well hey if you find evidence of churches paying off Id software lemme know haha

[obsidian shard]

Blood Swamps Goes so hard

[wheat sigil]

the soundtrack or the general level?

[obsidian shard]

Both

[prime sentinel]

I like the level but I’ve played it 3 times so my takes don’t count lol

And this goes for everything I say for the record

[wheat sigil]

i'm not overly enthustiatic on the level tbh, it got too many mini encounters for my taste

i prefer the real arenas

[prime sentinel]

I like the creative sections

[plain iron]

I like the music very much

[prime sentinel]

You can’t eat that

[plain iron]

Jokes on you, I'm not Christian. I am very much a atheist

[obsidian shard]

Same

[wheat sigil]

the only savior i need is the doom eternal meathook...

[prime sentinel]

Save me from the nothing I’ve become….

Wake me up

Wake me up inside

[plain iron]

Wake me up inside

[prime sentinel]

Can’t wake up

[slender onyx]

"doom is a christian game" mfs when they find out what the lore is actually about

[prime sentinel]

You’re giving goofball 🙂

[obsidian shard]

Metal is Not Christian

[wheat sigil]

atheism would just be the norm without theism
kinda like how no one questiones that dirt exists

[slender night]

Would be silly if DOOM had Christian songs in the background

[obsidian shard]

It's a game it ain't that Deep

[plain iron]

I'd like some hymns in eternal

[prime sentinel]

Fucking Skillet starts playing haha

I would turn the game off

[wheat sigil]

it wouldn't have a strict name like atheism, like believing dirt exists, because it'd be so obvious if theism didn't exist

[plain iron]

Where the maykrs are. Put some hymns.

[plucky plinth]

Holy shit another Evanescence fan?

[slender night]

RtCW has a Christian song in the background of the first level of chapter 2.... that means it's a Christian game...

[wheat sigil]

i'm simply pointing out inconsistencies in logic

[plain iron]

Ooo Christian influences oo spooky

[obsidian shard]

DOOM Actually Promotes Satanism due to demonic Symbols

[prime sentinel]

Dude wants conflict so bad lmao

[plain iron]

I wish I had some genuine pearls dawg

[slender night]

No it doesn't

[plain iron]

that's the point.

[slender night]

DOOM is religiously neutral, it just so happens to borrow some setpieces or objects from religion

[obsidian shard]

That's the point

[slender night]

I joined mid-convo forgive me guys

[prime sentinel]

Not worth it, they’re baiting, also “out logic-ing” never works

[plain iron]

Just cuz it has visual influences doesn't mean it is, and that's why I like it

Anyways

[wheat sigil]

i don't mind entertaining bait when i'm bored
what do you mean by the second thing though?

[plain iron]

The big dragon is so cool

[obsidian shard]

DOOMGUY Fent statsh in the Fortress of DOOM

[plain iron]

I hope we get a statue of serrat
