Discussion Doom 3 is my favorite Doom

I love classic Doom and modern Doom games. But I think Doom 3 is amazing and the best one to me. I loved the horror atmosphere of it.

It had the right amount of horror and fire fights. That made me tense the whole damn game. Whenever the horror was getting repetitive they'd throw in a firefight and introduce new enemies that made it scarier. And less repetitive. Doom 3 also kept walking into almost unsurvivable traps that modern Doom forgot.

I really do feel the horror atmosphere of modern Doom is almost completly gone at this point, it's almost a dark fantasy game at this point, hell dosnt feel scary at all and it's kind of a violence loop throughout the campaign without many curve balls. The classic Doom games were shoot em up games at heart. But they had this feeling of uncertainty, gloom and scary atmosphere that creeped me out if I played them too long. And there was so many times in the classic Dooms where you'd get trapped and die horrifically.

I really wish they'd let you play as a regular marine just trying to survive hell again.

Classic Doom is Doom 64 and before. Modern doom is post Doom 3 to me

Discussion Why do you think the Henchman saw the Slayer with his SSG in his final attempt to conjure up his flashbacks?

I interpret it as the slayer having finally forgiven himself for his past while at the same time leaving his humanity behind: in his mind, after the trials of purgatory, he's no longer Flynn Taggart, he's just the slayer and has now openly embraced it

But genuinely that's just my headcanon, what do you guys think

She is part of an AU that i created, where she belongs to a race of humanoid rabbits and is adopted by DoomGuy

Discussion Doom the dark ages my experience

With only two chapters left, I wanted to share my thoughts on this game. What started from a sick whatnot deal to arriving in the mail I had big plans for this game. Well, not really lol. It was my first time playing any doom game and I just wanted a shooter to play between Elden ring deaths/frustrations. What I did not realize was how addicted to this game I was going to get. For hoping for a nice shooter switch up Doom the dark ages delivered and then some. I found myself playing this more than Elden ring for a time there. Something about this game kept me wanted to F*ck shit up. I enjoyed this game so much I’m either buying the DLC or doom eternal. The nonstop rock/heavy metal music while running with the chain shot and smashing shit with your shield. There’s just something magical about it. Just wanted to throw me two cents to the community. Wish me luck, going to hell!

Discussion EXTREMELY HOT TAKE: Doom II in my opinion has the best soundtrack of the series.

I just love Doom 2’s music to pieces. Every song you hear in that game is something special. Not saying that the others are bad or bad in comparison to Doom II, but I just find its music the most enjoyable to listen to.

If it helps, I’m on a Mac.

If there’s any other questions you need from me, feel free to ask as I just want to have the satisfaction of beating the mod. I know this mod is meant to confuse you and you’re supposed to just kind of figure it out, but I can’t do this for the life of me.

This is my "balanced" ripatorium setup in preparation for slaughter mode. I think it really showcases the true potential of what Revelations combat can be.

Had Soo much fun with it! Wish some modders can create some similar custom levels with this level of chaotic arenas eventually.

Discussion Eternal Doomguy feels so weak

0 Upvotes

After completing Doom 2016 and Doom the dark ages on Nightmare difficulty I got the Eternal and now 3 hours in (just got the Super Shotgun and ice granades) The power fantasy slayer feel just isn't clicking for me.

Melee doesn't even stun zombies, small thing but like camoon. Did doom guy break his ankles between this and doom 2016? bc he is slow af. The damn demons can so easily push me to walls and gang ra## my ass. Some of the puzzles were too much for my cave man brain straight up needed youtube to find some stuff like oh yeah jump off the map to find a clibable ledge beyond horizon duh ofcource.

I miss mass murdering hundreds of demonds in a row, now I have to get more ammo after handful of elite kills breaking the perfect loop of rip and tear.

So like does it get better with upgrades and knowable later on or should I just return back to Ooga booga rip and tear dark ages?
