Current Events > Not quite sure how I feel about the Doomguy glazing in Eternal

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's like the devs read all the online memes and were like "this is cool, let's literally write this into the lore"

On the one hand it's pretty funny how demons and even people are afraid of you

On the other hand hearing those audio logs and lore logs going on about the Slayer as a literal God is just a bit OTT

I think an important element about Doomguy is that he's some guy

Maybe this is why it feels weird. There's a definite shift away from "who the hellis this marine and where did he come from?" to "and the almighty Slayer of ancient History doth taketh his shiny sword of Wonder and slayeth forth..."

Doom 2016 feels like a parody of games with ridiculously indepth lore.

Eternal and onwards feel like the things 2016 was making fun of.

It's kind of funny how a lot of Doomguy's capabilities and all the memes come from the Doom comic, but personality wise he is nothing like that at all.

I think they were trying to combine everything into one character. All of that, but still make him the typical quiet, stoic, sci-fi action hero that mows down hordes upon hordes of enemies.

Ill be disappointed if theres nothing about his heartwarming friendship with an adorable dog girl.
