some PR guy for Doom: The Dark Ages: “and if you’re a long-time fan, then you’ll be proud to see [that] in a lot of ways, the feel of the game is really a return to form […] just like in the classic Doom games”

it’s in this video btw at around 1:56

CWs: extreme violence and gore

oh no they kept the fucking glory kill system and they’re so damn proud of how mechanically complex they’re making this game. I hate them. they design Doom games like it’s fucking Diablo 3 and spamming 13 different abilities 6 times a second is actually fun somehow

it looks like they have really granular difficulty settings for this game and I really appreciate that but like

literally all they had to do was copy the gameplay loop of Doom 1 and 2. they’ve had three games to do this. what the fuck is wrong with them T_T

“you control the pace of the game”

*extremely skeptical kas noises*

“we’ve taken the narrative out of the codex and into the cutscenes”

I am going to burn down id software’s offices

(in Minecraft)

the gunplay in this game looks like absolute dogshit btw. especially the weird double-barreled plasma gun with its weak-ass “ptew ptew” sound design, incredibly low damage, and frustratingly slow fire rate

also they added a mech and called it a “power fantasy” and I understand that mechs are large and physically powerful but I am having a really hard time imagining how being inside of a mech could play into someone’s power fantasy

@kasdeya something something, "mech pilots are gender"

@tempest hmm that’s definitely fair!

@kasdeya that said . . . we are very skeptical that they can pull off mech gameplay that well in doom, modern or classic
