It's such a forgettable weapon even doom eternal forgot it existed. i only ever use it to shoot barrels and to snipe the background enemies, and the gauss cannon does the later much better. I miss it in eternal tho, since i'm always short on ammo for everything and i hate it when i have to waste a shotgun shot to activate a switch or shoot a barrel.
I mean it's sub par if you use it normaly but if you do the gunfu exploit you become a living breathing chainsaw of rapid fire plasma shots and and elbow smashes.
@@SlayerOmair the Cyberdemon recognizes Doomguy, since he's the reason why CD got so fucked up. That's why he throws you into his arena rather than kill you outright. CD wants to throw down and redeem itself.
@@soliduswasright678 yeah, I know, that's why he pauses for a second after he throws us, but the point here is that we're saying the UAC rebuilt him for us to humiliate hime again lol, that's all.
@@soliduswasright678 Even better; They tried to lobotomize it into a remote-operated weapon. The Cyberdemon willed itself back to sentience through the hive-mind's influence and sheer vengeance. The UAC tried and failed to humiliate it and then the Doom Slayer comes in, rips out its pacemaker and shoves its own horn through its throat.
Basically every second of Doom 16 is incredible, but I think the best part is the first time you step foot into hell. You are the only human in the plane of ultimate evil. One versus uncountable billions of vile monsters. And what is the response from these creatures? A warning. To their own. "He is here."
Only thing that is close to give us same about of shivers is when in Skyrim you kill your first dragon, you walk back to Whiterun only to suddenly feel distant echo from Greybeards, calling you: "DOVAKKIN"
@@tarazzzsExcept that dragon you beat is piss easy and that quest can be completed as early as level 1, it's not earned at all and because of that it feels hollow and fake as fuck. In Doom you understand how easy it can be for demons to completely wreck your shit if you make one wrong move, and that makes you understand how much more powerful the Slayer is despite that. You can't be a badass when all of your enemies are pushovers and you can't have that power fantasy if the game is too scared to give you enemies that are actually stronger than you (level scaling is a fucking joke)
"One new monster is the Summoner who works kinda like the archvile from DOOM 3. Shoots damaging fire, spawns monsters, likes to zip around. But has a weakness to being *torn in half by a motherfucking chainsaw* " Favorite quote
If Having a Demon Say , "He is here ." , when you step into hell means you're the utmost badass that ever breathed oxygen , then someone get this man a fucking trophy .
They are actually trying. See their latest trailer with the rap music. Seems like ruining their profitable franchises is how they roll this days. I wished id soft had remained independent, but at least they are mostly left alone by Bethesda, unlike Blizzard which was raped completely by Activision.
@@n00bers38 You mean the bomb would have clipped through the floor and it go off out of bounds, missing a trigger for progression and the Bethesda just call it quits until some guy in the terrorist community would have to spend a week making a patch on nexusmod.
I am afraid of one thing though, apparently Bethesda will require players to create a Bethesda account to play Doom Eternal on Steam, which is ridiculous for a single-player campaign. Just so they could harvest and profit off your personal data. EA is usually considered by many to be the most scummy game company out there, but Bethesda gets closer to that everyday.
I laughed out loud in my cubicle when I saw that and I had to back up so my coworkers could see it too. The little finger-wiggle-fadeaway that he does afterwards is just too good. It's little things like that, and the last-second Vega backup, that kinda remind the player that the Doom Slayer is at least a little bit human behind the facepunching and techno-armor.
So many of his actions are super nuanced like when he “disables” the first argent energy processor, he does actually look at it for a few seconds, sort of confused and then you can tell when he gets fed up and just says fuck it and breaks it. He provides more character in his movements then most characters do with words.
@@PurddyBirddy I feel like that pause is him being like. "Damn humans. I'm always cleaning up your messes. Using damn hell energy,will they never learn *then proceeds to beat the shit out of all technology*"
I love that little scene where the Slayer glances and rubs his hands on the Argent Energy Filter, seemingly cooperating at first, only to smash the damn thing to pieces. I love it. I love the modern Doom games
I remember laughing as he just destroys it while Hayden is telling him how to carefully take it apart. He thought about it for a second and just thought destroying it was easier.
@@WarlockX4 He just went "hmm.....can I just do one thing to remove it? No? Bah, fuck it, I don't have time to play surgeon." _Proceeds to smash the filter._
it’s even better when you know he was doing that just to fuck with hayden. well, that, and because argent is kinda made from *the souls of the innocent*
He comes across as angry and eager for a rematch, but he's clearly not dumb either. When he grabs the Slayer and throws him into the arena, the Slayer goes sliding backwards on his feet with his fists up, and it felt to me like a mutual understanding that the Cyberdemon is the underdog. Despite reaching forward and grabbing the Slayer and being much bigger than him, the Cyberdemon IMMEDIATELY throws him as far away as possible because he doesn't want the Slayer anywhere close. Cyberdemon's like "Gonna lock him in here but I gotta get him the hell away from me quick" and the Slayer isn't fazed and doesn't even lose his balance.
The best part of that mission is when he actually stops wrecking one of them to listen to hayden, only to realize hayden is full of shit and smash it anyway.
Doomguy actually seems pretty smart, at least smarter than i'd expect an extremely violence driven man to be. There's varying things he does that shows (at least hints) he has the brain capacity to know what's going on, or at least know what's valuable to him NOT smashed or crushed to bits. For instance, he carefully takes out the Elite Guards (forget what they're called) Preator Implants (don't know if that's what they are called) whenever he finds them. He also doesn't bash open control panels all the time, though that might be because he's just calmed down for a bit since he's usually killed a bunch of demons prior to interacting with them.
@@Manglet762 no you're right. Because he's Human he understands some UAC technology but he recognizes what makes demons and what he needs to keep around. That's why he kept VEGA he knew the AI would be more useful later and so he backed it up and kept it now it's in his Fortress
The hilarious thing is the actual player model in the game is just a pair of legs depending on what stance is chosen for how the weapons are held it’s also just arms in front of it
28:46 Perhaps she did get her end of the deal. I initially thought she was sacrificed to create the Spider Mastermind, but she actually got transformed into the Spider Mastermind. The machinery on it is really reminiscent of Olivia's exoskeleton thing she wears. There's even a statue of her in Eternal, so Hell has some respect for her.
Fun Fact: The first thing you do in Doom 2016 is kill everyone in the room and then put your pants on. I feel like knowing that enhances all these badass memes.
Didn't even need a gun for the first kill. Just grabbed the slow-moving undead by the back of its head and repeatedly slammed it into the edge of the slab. And this was before he got the chains off.
13:39 I love this part. Civvie's having to yell over BFG Division playing due to his pre-established joke about it playing everytime someone says Doom Slayer. These are jokes ladies and gentlemen.
One of my favorite things about this game was, ironically, the lore. The codex entries you find everywhere are very well written, and are actually really interesting if you sit down to actually read them.
That system is based on the terminals from Marathon except unlike Marathon, you can take them with you instead of having to read them where you find them. I like to think that's Doom learning lessons Marathon taught it while Marathon itself...continues to merely wallow in 1996 because its only sourceport, Aleph One is jankier than the Build engine and the only decent level editor is deliberately left incomplete because its makers are too lazy to add a 3D height adjustment/texturing mode like both the original Forge engine had as well as every decent modern 2.5D level editor and their cat. You need a special script just to jump in Aleph One and there's still no crouching either. The jump script isn't even a plugin: but a raw LUA that can only be used in the engine's single solo script slot, so when you want to use something more suitable for that slot like the co-op script or PSI blast, you have to sacrifice them just to use a feature that Aleph One should have had in the engine by default in the first fucking place like other sourceports such as GZ Doom or Eduke32. It's particularly jarring when you consider that Damage Incorporated, a later game on the Marathon 2 engine, had jump and crouch controls by default without sourceports.
@Nathaniel Grauel And in this corner, we have a troll. Marathon is good, actually. It's both the sourceport and the shit OS it was originally developed for which isn't up to scratch. It's a similar idea to Rise of the Triad sourceport wise. Go play the games on Windows all the way to the end and see for yourself. Then try some of the mods like Eternal X (no relation to Doom Eternal). You might just be surprised. alephone.lhowon.org/scenarios.html#more simplici7y.com/items/aleph-one-pathways-into-darkness You may also need this: simplici7y.com/items/jump-script Besides, I grew up with Halo 1 and Half Life. I never played Marathon until it finally came out on Aleph One for Windows in 2012. On top of that, I am indeed ashamed to admit better games have since surpassed it like Brutal Doom Extermination day, Hedon and Ion Maiden. That does not make it a bad game however, considering it has a better engine than vanilla Doom and a damn good story. (keyword when referring to the Doom engine: vanilla)
DOOM 2016 is the story of a man waking up, realizing demons are attempting to invade the mortal realm, *and then proceeding to show them what that feels like*
... because Violence was chosen since you socked some dickless Ossifer in the face after a heated debate on the ethics of protesting evil hell magic in science during a riot. Trust the Experts my ass, fuckin' commies.
Heres a funny question: with all the lore behind the slayer, would he struggle against the Godhand and Idea of Evil in Berserk? Personally, DS would cause the eclipse, but on THEM 😂
"Its not the boss of this game, you are." That line perfectly explains Doomguy in this game and reminds me how he killed the Titan and scared hell shitless.
@@demi-fiendoftime3825 rare was so hit and miss; a bunch of crap, and then a legend. games were becoming too expensive to make; to produce like this.. i think Nintendo simply let them go, as apposed to begrudgingly doing so... maybe, idk... i do know that conker's bfd is still in my top5, banjo-tooie, jetforce gemini... i guess i have to make it a top 10 list; because RARE really is the g.o.a.t of an era
Actually if it's 2008 it would have been right in the trend, so DOOM 08 would be uncriticizable and the grand-daddy of cover shooters now. Also many Zoomers' first FPS. Just imagine the online war on Twitter and TH-cam, it would be like 2D Sonic vs 3D Sonic.

While I love Eternal's art design to no end I think 2016 had a more visceral visual appeal. Granted Eternal isn't a day care simulator, and the art style reflects the whole depiction of demons and hell, but 2016 looked brutal
I love eternal but i love the "texture" of the setting in 2016 so much more. 2016 is more hard sci fi and eternal is more warhammer fan fiction. I prefer the gameplay of eternal but i enjoyed the story of 2016 alot more. Eternal DLC included, 2016's atmosphere is something else.....
I thought it was just me. I find Doom 2016 more fun and engrossing than Doom: Eternal. Not that Doom: Eternal is bad in any way. I was just way more engrossed to Doom 2016.
Neither game took itself 100% seriously, but 2016 was a bit more mature and mysterious. Eternal shifted the balance just a tiny bit too far into the realm of self-deprecating pisstake. I'm not calling it a bad game, or saying it's inferior to 2016, just that it had a different feel that I'm not sure I'd have chosen had I been making the game.
I love how he made it look like it wasnt even his joke, but something that naturally happened as he had to actively speak over the track getting louder and louder, I love jokes like that
This game reminded me that I didn't dislike shooters, I disliked generic military soulless shooters. It had been so long since I enjoyed an action game.
THIS! I used to play tons of shooters as a kid in the 90s (Heretic and Hexen being my favorites) and then I completely stopped caring and thought I just got bored of the genre. Then I played Doom 2016, and realized the problem wasnt me, it was that every shooter had become some crappy modern warfare/military/world war thing which I have zero interest in. Now Ive been playing some of those retro ones like Amid Evil, Dusk, etc and I love them. Super excited for Doom Eternal as well, cant wait.
@@MBOmnis I played that part a bunch of times in a row while searching for one of the secrets in that level, and it seems to actually do one of those two sounds randomly. Sometimes it's her crying, but other times it plays a different one that sounds like her laughing.
"Y'see this is why cheetos are always improving, you don't get those dogshit nuggets anymore, you get miniature cheddar tree branches just waiting for you to crunch on"
The great thing is that it doesn't even make the Slayer stronger. It just makes him SO FURIOUS that he *LITERALLY CAN'T HOLD HIS GUNS WITHOUT CRUSHING THEM*
So cool story: One of my game design professors actually worked on DOOM 3, and the cancelled DOOM 4, and he showed us concept art for the version of DOOM 4 he worked on, and its clear that concepts from that game are being brought into Eternal. Not gameplay ideas, but ideas like demon tentacles wrapping around skyscrapers, stuff like that. And just to score more points here, another professor of mine worked on the original Halo trilogy, and is the guy who made the animation of that one enemy pissing in the corner. Apparently it was only originally supposed to happen once every thousand times, to avoid the game getting a higher ESRB rating, but the play testers found it, loved it, and so they decided to make it happen every time.
@@herohalv4543 I were allways a fan of the tripple shot mod for the combat shotgun, makes those soldiers turn into mists of blood early on. I had to throw a few points into the pistol though since the tripple shot mod eats shotgun ammo like candy.

@@crysosisback7115 Honestly I feel kinda sad that Doom 3's being forgotten as quickly as it is, even by id. Remember that big Doom box art mural that was going up at some big convention a year or so ago? Not a single reference to Doom 3, either by the Guardian of Hell or the Maledict.
@@GoredonTheDestroyer Well, they still want it's lore to be part of the doom continuity for some reason ... For them, doom 3 still happened, which doesn't make any sense ... So there's that for you i guess
@@crysosisback7115 The way I look at it is that Doom 3 takes place in an alternate timeline, branching off from Doom II in the sense that, while the UAC *did* eventually learn to stop messing with teleporters no matter how cool, they just couldn't help themselves. I get that this effectively makes Doom 3 non-canon, but I'm just trying to put it together in a way that makes the most sense for me.
@@GoredonTheDestroyer I´d go with the theory that Doom 3 is a prequel. First time everything went to shit and had a massive coverup. Then shit went south a second time in Doom 1 and then Doom 2 followed.
Lugbzurg Clearly, the HDoom mod remains within reason due to Rule 34 of the Internet, which doesn’t require repeating. Since Doom 2016 remains a game provided to the masses via the Internet (digital copy), that means, in this regard, Rule 34 exists of Doom 2016. Since the Doom Slayer could be the original Doom Guy cause, and I quote, “Why not?”, this leads us to believe that, via HDoom remaining a mod of the original Doom title, HDoom remains an extension of Doom 2016 Rule 34. Therefore, HDoom remains canon within Doom 2016’s timeline. Q.E.D.
"Maybe something along those lines had been done before, but I've never seen it." Yes. It was done before in Killer Instinct three years prior. Guess who did the soundtrack there, too?
@@EricLS Halo's implementation was different in alot of ways, actually. Very few games actually use the approach that DOOM 2016 did, because of how you have to write the music itself to be able to have it smooth slide from one piece and pace to another. Mick did a GDC keynote speech a few years back about it, some really informative and interesting stuff, and I'm more into the animation side than the music side of things.
@@BigBoy257 Yeah Jak 2 has a dynamic soundtrack that gets more intense if you are surrounded by enemies and it changes when you are using a weapon or the hoverboard too.

That one room with the balls was fucking hardcore CBT but I still love that game. I think the highlight was figuring out you could grab dudes by their legs and swing them around like a fucking wrestler and then proceeding to kill every melee enemy like that or trying to anyway. I killed the king dude in the final level by fucking swinging his face into a pillar over and over again until he was dead lmao.
8:16 "The music is somehow tied to the gameplay... It's like you are playing the music yourself, with guns" That's exactly what Mick & crew done in Killer Instinct, where music tracks adapt to the rhythm of the fight and every hit in ultra combo have a musical sound. So awesome.
The cool thing about the BFG rays is that they do damage on every FRAME they attack an enemy. That means the higher your frame rate, the more damage the BFG does.
If you get the weapon wheel up it slows the game right down while you choose a weapon, so if you get weapon wheel up while the BFG green fireball thing is hanging in the air it carries on doing damage all the time the game is slowed down.
I don't think that's correct, sounds like a mechanic that might happen in a 16bit game, lol. I played this at 60fps on an xb1x then at 240fps on PC, can't say I noticed a 4x damage improvement with bfg, but TBH everything usually just melts anyway so u might be right but doesn't really give any true advantage, just nice trivia I guess if true, but sounds like something that might have been true vs 1.0 then patched out, unless intended.
Doom '16 was a great game, especially the campaign. Doom Eternal.. not so much. I fear that may have been the final nail in the coffin for neo-Doom unless some 3rd party, of a 2nd party developer tries to make another one in the future. They dropped the ball with Eternal. They know it. We know it. It just sucks because Doom as a whole is one of the greats.
"it's like the enemies have some kind of ai" *proceeds to most hype elevator scene the history of anything* this is why i subbed while back when i stumbled upon your postal series of reviews. really good shit dude.
"Everytime you say the name BFG Division starts playing" Proceeds to play it every time its said haha. It's awesome to hear civvie hate shitty games but theres something wholesome about hearing him in love with a game.
I think the fact that a tiny little shower of health and ammo falls down right after the Spider Mastermind takes a BFG to the mouth (even though the game is over at that point) is a really nice touch :D
I think Carmack is just a rogue terminator that wants to make VR and Advanced AI so that he can supplant the human race with endless copies of himself. He wants to make a mixture of the Terminator and Matrix futures.
It's such a good part of the intro, because it comes off like it's gonna start doing the Doom 3 thing where you're kind of railroaded around for a bit before the game kicks into gear, only for Doomguy to decide "nah dude I got shit to DO," shove the monitor away and get to shooting and smashing stuff. Really sets the tone for the whole experience.
If the Mods are canon ??? Does that meen the thicc and sexy female demons in Hdoom get pregnant with the slayer's children or child ??? In Doom 2016 he's... The Doom Slayer But In Hdoom they call him.... The Woum Slayer
"Do you think they were brainstorming and said let's call it Doom Forever and somebody at the table shot it down... for obvious reasons." ~Civvie 11 God Doomn I love this channel!
the ironic thing about the mention of the cancelled doom is that despite how it looked. the early footage seemed to have given the impression that what the doom they were first showing off would have been how diffcult it would have been to be anyone but the doomguy suriving the forces of hell
All the codex entries are actually really entertaining and well written, and while the slayer may not care about the reasons for the story, the player has a lot of reason to, especially how some of the codexes implies that the doom slayer is the doom guy after an eternity of demon slaying
The codex entries and double jump made my inner metroid fanboy VERY happy. I think having a shitton of plot and lore that is entirely optional can work very well for more gameplay focused games.
Ironic that Doom 2016 shat all over a story-focused narrative that Doom 3 tried to emulate from games like Half-Life yet the codex entries and background information is so well done and hilarious that Doom 2016 ended up having the best-written story of any Doom singleplayer yet, exceeding Doom 3's take.
Compared to Eternal, i liked 2016's characterization of the slayer. A fucking demon killing grinder that couldn't give a shit about the story around him is my type of protag.

Carnage7209 everything about doom is about speed and verticality, adding elements of parkour into the game along with more speed including longer jumps just makes it that much better.
@@punctuationman334 lol stop. Speed yes. Verticality? HAHAHA tell me more how a game that didn't have a jump mechanic at all let alone the freaking capability to look UP OR DOWN, was all about jumping and verticality. Now there's wall climbing and fuc*ing pole vaulting to add to all the platforming as well.

DOOM 2016 was one of the most fun games I have ever played in my life, and it's also the second shooter game I ever completed. Edit: when DOOMGUY backed up vega in that one level, I did a James A Janisse "aw that's nice" in my head, because it was the nicest thing anyone ever did in the DOOM franchise.

9:08 LucasArts actually did this before, for a lot of their games back in the DOS era (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Dark Forces). They had dedicated tech for it that they called “iMUSE”.
I'm not sure if it's the same thing but I remember back in the 90s it was common for Rare's platformers like Banjo-Kazooie to have a dynamic element to the music based on where you were in the levels. The most obvious is if you went underwater the music would change to have a slightly muffled but dreamy tone to it, or if you were around certain enemies or characters it would also change to fit with said enemy/character.
Yes it was, but they used midi so they can handle it more easily. Nowdays, the middleware "WWISE" made this situation possible, and Metal Gear Rising takes the similar approach. th-cam.com/video/Bm5P-Z5-O0I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/vEKIDFfp-Pw/w-d-xo.html
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge was fantastic with that, and was the first to actually use it. Glorious stuff.. and if I remember, they couldn't quite replicate it with the special edition of the game, which was a shame.
"Doom 2016" is one of those games you absolutely wanna play after watching a video about it. Had absolutely no interest in playing it right now, because I was more pulled to something like "Nioh"... but while watching the video, I'm ready to install this game again!
Play the fucking snap maps you fuckers! I was having some serious fun playing that shit co-op with my friend last night. Perhaps they were shit at release but they are some good ones now. I was playing the FNAF map with my buddy, fun stuff. Also the MP is surprisingly alive.
Watching this video I realized how important Doom 2016 is to me. For reference I was born in 1996. so I'm not necessarily the definition of an old school gamer yet lol. With that being said, the first two video games that I had ever played in my life where the original super Mario Brothers and Duke nukem 3D. Followed by Doom 2 and then doom 1. After my early gaming years I primarily played sports games and platformers. By high School I was mostly playing RPGs. I liked call of duty but something never felt quite right. Eventually after high School I got a PC. At some point after that doom 2016 ended up in my steam cart. After that the adrenaline addiction never stopped. from there I went to Doom eternal to Doom 3, Duke nukem 3D again, quake, blood and dusk. The point I'm trying to make. is it made me consider a genre I had long forgotten about. more so in how it makes you feel then what it does mechanically. And that's priceless.
I do love the Doomslayer and VEGA. Like you can basically see the Slayer’s thoughts in his actions. “Deactivate? Nah, lemme take this dude with me. Personal Assistants never get left behind.”
Weeeeell, ID software have confirmed that the Doom Slayer is Doomguy. They are apparently working on a game that bridges the gap between Doom64 and Doom 2016 to explain how the doom marine became the Doom Slayer.
The part where doomguy looks at the corpse, and punched the monitor is the most poignant for me. It shows that not only is doomslayer pissed because he hates demons, but because he knew that he could have saved all those people if he would have been woken up a few days, nay, a few *HOURS* before the initial demon invasion. It's so fucking badass and cool, I love this game.
This video made me want to play single player FPS again. Haven't touched anything but overwatch in more than a decade. Got 2016 for 5 bucks in that recent big steam sale, finished the game on nightmare a week or so ago, and it was god dammed beautiful. Thanks Civvie.
I like the way this guy talks. Something about the tone of his voice and the dry humor really works. Infinite ammo? Sounds like time for my NINE BARRELED MINIGUN. EDIT: I occasionally like to come back and re-watch because Civvie's great, his humor is amazing, and DOOM 2016 is perfection. On this time, I was playing DOOM while listening and with my pausing and such, I managed to accidentally line things up so that when Civvie got to Olivia opening the portal to Hell, I did too lol
What I love about Civvie's reviews is that he always sounds like he's angry. Not TOO angry, but just angry enough to make every sentence twice as funny.
I've watched this video at least 4 times, it was my TH-cam recommended introduction to Civvie, and I've binged since. Also, this video probably captures the Civvie style better than any other. More!
Flitz Smith Daisy was the name of the Doom Slayer’s pet rabbit. The demons invaded earth, killed her and put her head on a spike. This resulted in the Doom Slayer going on another rampage.
@@sirapple589 ouh right the rabbit, no I was talking about Vega, the AI guy, I like how you can even see the DoomSlayer making like a robotic suit that looks like his 2016 armor for him too
I gotta say I wanted this video more than your Duke Nukem Forever review. I like seeing you play a game you actually enjoy and talk about how well made it is.
Yeah, I like these kinds of videos more too. There's plenty of other TH-camrs who do the "Angry Gamer"-shtick, and honestly it's played out and outdated at this point.
I've always felt this game was Quake's gameplay with Doom's character. You remember Quake 2's gameplay, cuz that's all it had. Remember your character's name in that? No? But you remember Doomguy. You remember the BFG, the chainsaw, the raw brutal nature of Doomguy smiling when he finds a new gun.
@@megajoecaco786 BTW if you can't afford Doom Eternal, check out Slayer's Testaments, a Quake 1 mod by some really talented people, one of whom is working on Wrath Aeon of Ruin as well.
@Frax No? It has Eternal's plasma rifle, it's getting the meathook in the upcoming patch in a few days, it has some of Eternal's demons. Who knows, maybe it''ll get in the future more and more inspiration from Eternal.
Nah. The hyperblaster was pretty iconic, as was the railgun and the BFG10k. A couple enemies were also very interesting, taking one last shot at you during their death animation. And yes, I do remember Bitterman, thanks for asking.

The title suggests you didnt like the 2016 doom too much, and im hopeful this is the case
"worst gun is the plasma rifle"
you don't need to be nice to the pistol it can take the criticism
It's such a forgettable weapon even doom eternal forgot it existed. i only ever use it to shoot barrels and to snipe the background enemies, and the gauss cannon does the later much better. I miss it in eternal tho, since i'm always short on ammo for everything and i hate it when i have to waste a shotgun shot to activate a switch or shoot a barrel.
I mean it's sub par if you use it normaly but if you do the gunfu exploit you become a living breathing chainsaw of rapid fire plasma shots and and elbow smashes.

@@soliduswasright678 yeah, I know, that's why he pauses for a second after he throws us, but the point here is that we're saying the UAC rebuilt him for us to humiliate hime again lol, that's all.
@@soliduswasright678 Even better; They tried to lobotomize it into a remote-operated weapon. The Cyberdemon willed itself back to sentience through the hive-mind's influence and sheer vengeance.

BFG Division playing every time you say "The Doom Slayer" is probably one of the funniest running jokes i've ever seen in a game review.

Yeah, it was a good touch to keep doing that without acknowledging it. It’s great
SlashZaku what’s funny is, in Doom Eternal, that’s actually his main theme. Not even joking.
Basically every second of Doom 16 is incredible, but I think the best part is the first time you step foot into hell. You are the only human in the plane of ultimate evil. One versus uncountable billions of vile monsters. And what is the response from these creatures? A warning. To their own.
"He is here."
Underrated. Comment.
Bad Ass Encapsulated.
Only thing that is close to give us same about of shivers is when in Skyrim you kill your first dragon, you walk back to Whiterun only to suddenly feel distant echo from Greybeards, calling you:
"DOVAKKIN"
@@tarazzzsExcept that dragon you beat is piss easy and that quest can be completed as early as level 1, it's not earned at all and because of that it feels hollow and fake as fuck. In Doom you understand how easy it can be for demons to completely wreck your shit if you make one wrong move, and that makes you understand how much more powerful the Slayer is despite that. You can't be a badass when all of your enemies are pushovers and you can't have that power fantasy if the game is too scared to give you enemies that are actually stronger than you (level scaling is a fucking joke)

"Bethesda hasn't even been able to kill Doom yet. That's why it's Eternal, baby!"

I bet that if Bethesda were to be car bombed alá the Oklahoma Bombing, everyone would laugh hysterically like it was an episode of South Park.
They are actually trying. See their latest trailer with the rap music. Seems like ruining their profitable franchises is how they roll this days. I wished id soft had remained independent, but at least they are mostly left alone by Bethesda, unlike Blizzard which was raped completely by Activision.
he did say that, great job
@@n00bers38 You mean the bomb would have clipped through the floor and it go off out of bounds, missing a trigger for progression and the Bethesda just call it quits until some guy in the terrorist community would have to spend a week making a patch on nexusmod.
I am afraid of one thing though, apparently Bethesda will require players to create a Bethesda account to play Doom Eternal on Steam, which is ridiculous for a single-player campaign. Just so they could harvest and profit off your personal data. EA is usually considered by many to be the most scummy game company out there, but Bethesda gets closer to that everyday.
Seeing doom guy fist bump a little action figure of himself is really cute and I love it.
I laughed out loud in my cubicle when I saw that and I had to back up so my coworkers could see it too. The little finger-wiggle-fadeaway that he does afterwards is just too good. It's little things like that, and the last-second Vega backup, that kinda remind the player that the Doom Slayer is at least a little bit human behind the facepunching and techno-armor.
So many of his actions are super nuanced like when he “disables” the first argent energy processor, he does actually look at it for a few seconds, sort of confused and then you can tell when he gets fed up and just says fuck it and breaks it. He provides more character in his movements then most characters do with words.
@@PurddyBirddy I feel like that pause is him being like. "Damn humans. I'm always cleaning up your messes. Using damn hell energy,will they never learn *then proceeds to beat the shit out of all technology*"
I’m convinced Doomguy sleeps with that thing like it’s a teddy bear
he should destroy it occasionaly, accidentally, as an easter egg lol
I love that little scene where the Slayer glances and rubs his hands on the Argent Energy Filter, seemingly cooperating at first, only to smash the damn thing to pieces. I love it. I love the modern Doom games
I remember laughing as he just destroys it while Hayden is telling him how to carefully take it apart. He thought about it for a second and just thought destroying it was easier.
@@WarlockX4 He just went "hmm.....can I just do one thing to remove it? No? Bah, fuck it, I don't have time to play surgeon." _Proceeds to smash the filter._
@@WarlockX4Same energy as samuel in a panicked voice trying to tell you that you can't blast a hole through mars
it’s even better when you know he was doing that just to fuck with hayden. well, that, and because argent is kinda made from *the souls of the innocent*
For as weak as his boss fight ended up being, I like that the Cyberdemon comes off as the only demon not scared of the Slayer; he just *HATES* you.
I don't know all of the lore, but it's because the Cyberdemons are clones of a demon Doomguy killed, right?
HE KILLED MY CYBERDEMON FAMILY
It’s my personal favorite fight in the game.
Weak?? I never beat him lmao
He comes across as angry and eager for a rematch, but he's clearly not dumb either. When he grabs the Slayer and throws him into the arena, the Slayer goes sliding backwards on his feet with his fists up, and it felt to me like a mutual understanding that the Cyberdemon is the underdog. Despite reaching forward and grabbing the Slayer and being much bigger than him, the Cyberdemon IMMEDIATELY throws him as far away as possible because he doesn't want the Slayer anywhere close.
Cyberdemon's like "Gonna lock him in here but I gotta get him the hell away from me quick" and the Slayer isn't fazed and doesn't even lose his balance.
12:25 To Doom Slayer's credit he DID at least look for some kind of off button/switch before resorting to smashing it to pieces.
I think he was looking for where best to smash it to destroy it
The best part of that mission is when he actually stops wrecking one of them to listen to hayden, only to realize hayden is full of shit and smash it anyway.
No, no, not smashing, rip and tearing
Doomguy actually seems pretty smart, at least smarter than i'd expect an extremely violence driven man to be. There's varying things he does that shows (at least hints) he has the brain capacity to know what's going on, or at least know what's valuable to him NOT smashed or crushed to bits. For instance, he carefully takes out the Elite Guards (forget what they're called) Preator Implants (don't know if that's what they are called) whenever he finds them. He also doesn't bash open control panels all the time, though that might be because he's just calmed down for a bit since he's usually killed a bunch of demons prior to interacting with them.
@@Manglet762 no you're right. Because he's Human he understands some UAC technology but he recognizes what makes demons and what he needs to keep around. That's why he kept VEGA he knew the AI would be more useful later and so he backed it up and kept it now it's in his Fortress
“Hell is very scared of him because he’s an unstoppable demon grinder on legs” the way you said that is perfect.
You missed the part where the last half of the sentence is in all caps
The hilarious thing is the actual player model in the game is just a pair of legs depending on what stance is chosen for how the weapons are held it’s also just arms in front of it

28:46 Perhaps she did get her end of the deal. I initially thought she was sacrificed to create the Spider Mastermind, but she actually got transformed into the Spider Mastermind. The machinery on it is really reminiscent of Olivia's exoskeleton thing she wears. There's even a statue of her in Eternal, so Hell has some respect for her.
The Spider mastermind codex also mentions two becoming one, so she didn't just got transformed but also became one with a very high ranking demon.
not too much tho, considering how she let the white martian cyclops yoink the literal one thing he absolutely shouldn't have yoinked
I mean it's a pretty badass form to have. High tier demon shit. If she got to live long enough to use it LMAO

One of my favorite things about this game was, ironically, the lore. The codex entries you find everywhere are very well written, and are actually really interesting if you sit down to actually read them.
The revenant codex almost got me in chills man
That system is based on the terminals from Marathon except unlike Marathon, you can take them with you instead of having to read them where you find them.
I like to think that's Doom learning lessons Marathon taught it while Marathon itself...continues to merely wallow in 1996 because its only sourceport, Aleph One is jankier than the Build engine and the only decent level editor is deliberately left incomplete because its makers are too lazy to add a 3D height adjustment/texturing mode like both the original Forge engine had as well as every decent modern 2.5D level editor and their cat.
You need a special script just to jump in Aleph One and there's still no crouching either. The jump script isn't even a plugin: but a raw LUA that can only be used in the engine's single solo script slot, so when you want to use something more suitable for that slot like the co-op script or PSI blast, you have to sacrifice them just to use a feature that Aleph One should have had in the engine by default in the first fucking place like other sourceports such as GZ Doom or Eduke32. It's particularly jarring when you consider that Damage Incorporated, a later game on the Marathon 2 engine, had jump and crouch controls by default without sourceports.
@Nathaniel Grauel And in this corner, we have a troll. Marathon is good, actually. It's both the sourceport and the shit OS it was originally developed for which isn't up to scratch. It's a similar idea to Rise of the Triad sourceport wise. Go play the games on Windows all the way to the end and see for yourself. Then try some of the mods like Eternal X (no relation to Doom Eternal). You might just be surprised. alephone.lhowon.org/scenarios.html#more

You may also need this: simplici7y.com/items/jump-script
Besides, I grew up with Halo 1 and Half Life. I never played Marathon until it finally came out on Aleph One for Windows in 2012. On top of that, I am indeed ashamed to admit better games have since surpassed it like Brutal Doom Extermination day, Hedon and Ion Maiden. That does not make it a bad game however, considering it has a better engine than vanilla Doom and a damn good story. (keyword when referring to the Doom engine: vanilla)

I would hate that universe
I'm sure in that universe Aliens Colonial Marines was actually good, Blood 2 wasn't shitty, but Halo was probably a failure.
Actually if it's 2008 it would have been right in the trend, so DOOM 08 would be uncriticizable and the grand-daddy of cover shooters now. Also many Zoomers' first FPS. Just imagine the online war on Twitter and TH-cam, it would be like 2D Sonic vs 3D Sonic.

While I love Eternal's art design to no end I think 2016 had a more visceral visual appeal. Granted Eternal isn't a day care simulator, and the art style reflects the whole depiction of demons and hell, but 2016 looked brutal
I love eternal but i love the "texture" of the setting in 2016 so much more. 2016 is more hard sci fi and eternal is more warhammer fan fiction. I prefer the gameplay of eternal but i enjoyed the story of 2016 alot more. Eternal DLC included, 2016's atmosphere is something else.....
I thought it was just me. I find Doom 2016 more fun and engrossing than Doom: Eternal. Not that Doom: Eternal is bad in any way. I was just way more engrossed to Doom 2016.
Neither game took itself 100% seriously, but 2016 was a bit more mature and mysterious. Eternal shifted the balance just a tiny bit too far into the realm of self-deprecating pisstake. I'm not calling it a bad game, or saying it's inferior to 2016, just that it had a different feel that I'm not sure I'd have chosen had I been making the game.
2016 felt savage and violent.
Eternal feels like mid 80s WWF.

Then I played Doom 2016, and realized the problem wasnt me, it was that every shooter had become some crappy modern warfare/military/world war thing which I have zero interest in.

One of my game design professors actually worked on DOOM 3, and the cancelled DOOM 4, and he showed us concept art for the version of DOOM 4 he worked on, and its clear that concepts from that game are being brought into Eternal. Not gameplay ideas, but ideas like demon tentacles wrapping around skyscrapers, stuff like that.
And just to score more points here, another professor of mine worked on the original Halo trilogy, and is the guy who made the animation of that one enemy pissing in the corner. Apparently it was only originally supposed to happen once every thousand times, to avoid the game getting a higher ESRB rating, but the play testers found it, loved it, and so they decided to make it happen every time.

"Maybe something along those lines had been done before, but I've never seen it."
Yes. It was done before in Killer Instinct three years prior.
Guess who did the soundtrack there, too?
Unreal had dynamic music.
Never played it, but I’ve heard that Jak 2 had a dynamic soundtrack
Halo? ....like, what? I was blown away by the dynamic music in the Halo games. Weird that no-one noticed.
@@EricLS Halo's implementation was different in alot of ways, actually. Very few games actually use the approach that DOOM 2016 did, because of how you have to write the music itself to be able to have it smooth slide from one piece and pace to another. Mick did a GDC keynote speech a few years back about it, some really informative and interesting stuff, and I'm more into the animation side than the music side of things.
@@BigBoy257 Yeah Jak 2 has a dynamic soundtrack that gets more intense if you are surrounded by enemies and it changes when you are using a weapon or the hoverboard too.

"The music is somehow tied to the gameplay... It's like you are playing the music yourself, with guns"
That's exactly what Mick & crew done in Killer Instinct, where music tracks adapt to the rhythm of the fight and every hit in ultra combo have a musical sound. So awesome.
The ultra combos just feel like a theme song though. They’re no fun to execute once you know how to.
@@obviouslykaleb7998 once you know "how to" you can make them into your own song. Or just hit MP+MK and don't waste everybody's time.
Killer instinct and doom 2016 are my two favorite games of all time
Also what Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori did in the Halo games.
The cool thing about the BFG rays is that they do damage on every FRAME they attack an enemy. That means the higher your frame rate, the more damage the BFG does.
doom 2016 is technically pay to win
If you get the weapon wheel up it slows the game right down while you choose a weapon, so if you get weapon wheel up while the BFG green fireball thing is hanging in the air it carries on doing damage all the time the game is slowed down.
I don't think that's correct, sounds like a mechanic that might happen in a 16bit game, lol. I played this at 60fps on an xb1x then at 240fps on PC, can't say I noticed a 4x damage improvement with bfg, but TBH everything usually just melts anyway so u might be right but doesn't really give any true advantage, just nice trivia I guess if true, but sounds like something that might have been true vs 1.0 then patched out, unless intended.
..and animation frames can be set in stone and interpolated. But I think maybe I've thought too much about this now 😒
Doom '16 was a great game, especially the campaign. Doom Eternal.. not so much. I fear that may have been the final nail in the coffin for neo-Doom unless some 3rd party, of a 2nd party developer tries to make another one in the future. They dropped the ball with Eternal. They know it. We know it. It just sucks because Doom as a whole is one of the greats.
Imagine people’s emotions when they found out that they had a hell sword in there pocket but didn’t know about it
"it's like the enemies have some kind of ai" *proceeds to most hype elevator scene the history of anything* this is why i subbed while back when i stumbled upon your postal series of reviews. really good shit dude.

"Everytime you say the name BFG Division starts playing"
Proceeds to play it every time its said haha. It's awesome to hear civvie hate shitty games but theres something wholesome about hearing him in love with a game.
Talking about good games every once and a while gives context to the sub-par (raw lol) quality of bad games he's covered.
“Ya crack’em open like a Maine lobstah and ya rip’em a paht!” I’m from Maine, great job on the accent 😉
I think the fact that a tiny little shower of health and ammo falls down right after the Spider Mastermind takes a BFG to the mouth (even though the game is over at that point) is a really nice touch :D
The game is following its own logic and rules and I love it.

He is so done with this shit already, it's great.
@@roberte2945 the man heard enough as it was and didn't give two shits and a fuck
It's such a good part of the intro, because it comes off like it's gonna start doing the Doom 3 thing where you're kind of railroaded around for a bit before the game kicks into gear, only for Doomguy to decide "nah dude I got shit to DO," shove the monitor away and get to shooting and smashing stuff. Really sets the tone for the whole experience.
"You don't have to survive the bosses; THEY have to survive YOU! You're the boss in this game!!!"

All the codex entries are actually really entertaining and well written, and while the slayer may not care about the reasons for the story, the player has a lot of reason to, especially how some of the codexes implies that the doom slayer is the doom guy after an eternity of demon slaying
The codex entries and double jump made my inner metroid fanboy VERY happy. I think having a shitton of plot and lore that is entirely optional can work very well for more gameplay focused games.
I, for one, didn't care. I came for demon slaughter, not for brainstorming.
@@JunkerKun Good for you. Pretty sure the devs intended that to be the default mode.
Ironic that Doom 2016 shat all over a story-focused narrative that Doom 3 tried to emulate from games like Half-Life yet the codex entries and background information is so well done and hilarious that Doom 2016 ended up having the best-written story of any Doom singleplayer yet, exceeding Doom 3's take.

Compared to Eternal, i liked 2016's characterization of the slayer. A fucking demon killing grinder that couldn't give a shit about the story around him is my type of protag.

I don't think the bosses were meant to be difficult, they were ment to be exciting. If you figure out what their weaknesses are, they are not a challenge but they are still very fun to kill. Chances are you were using the wrong strats or weapons.
@@Sinclairelim i think they have the "1st time wow" because the first time you go against them u just go WOW amazing and fuck you every time you die.

9:08 LucasArts actually did this before, for a lot of their games back in the DOS era (X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Dark Forces). They had dedicated tech for it that they called “iMUSE”.
Red Dead 1 did it too.
Ultima Underworld did it also.
I'm not sure if it's the same thing but I remember back in the 90s it was common for Rare's platformers like Banjo-Kazooie to have a dynamic element to the music based on where you were in the levels. The most obvious is if you went underwater the music would change to have a slightly muffled but dreamy tone to it, or if you were around certain enemies or characters it would also change to fit with said enemy/character.
Yes it was, but they used midi so they can handle it more easily. Nowdays, the middleware "WWISE" made this situation possible, and Metal Gear Rising takes the similar approach.

"Doom 2016" is one of those games you absolutely wanna play after watching a video about it.
Had absolutely no interest in playing it right now, because I was more pulled to something like "Nioh"... but while watching the video, I'm ready to install this game again!
Play the fucking snap maps you fuckers! I was having some serious fun playing that shit co-op with my friend last night. Perhaps they were shit at release but they are some good ones now. I was playing the FNAF map with my buddy, fun stuff.
Also the MP is surprisingly alive.
Watching this video I realized how important Doom 2016 is to me. For reference I was born in 1996. so I'm not necessarily the definition of an old school gamer yet lol. With that being said, the first two video games that I had ever played in my life where the original super Mario Brothers and Duke nukem 3D. Followed by Doom 2 and then doom 1. After my early gaming years I primarily played sports games and platformers. By high School I was mostly playing RPGs. I liked call of duty but something never felt quite right. Eventually after high School I got a PC. At some point after that doom 2016 ended up in my steam cart. After that the adrenaline addiction never stopped. from there I went to Doom eternal to Doom 3, Duke nukem 3D again, quake, blood and dusk. The point I'm trying to make. is it made me consider a genre I had long forgotten about. more so in how it makes you feel then what it does mechanically. And that's priceless.
I do love the Doomslayer and VEGA. Like you can basically see the Slayer’s thoughts in his actions.
“Deactivate? Nah, lemme take this dude with me. Personal Assistants never get left behind.”
More reliable than actual people
Doomslayer is lucky that it was VEGA and not Siri
And he does it real fast, as if to say, "don't want to see anyone to see I have a heart somewhere"
Weeeeell, ID software have confirmed that the Doom Slayer is Doomguy.
They are apparently working on a game that bridges the gap between Doom64 and Doom 2016 to explain how the doom marine became the Doom Slayer.

The part where doomguy looks at the corpse, and punched the monitor is the most poignant for me. It shows that not only is doomslayer pissed because he hates demons, but because he knew that he could have saved all those people if he would have been woken up a few days, nay, a few *HOURS* before the initial demon invasion. It's so fucking badass and cool, I love this game.
Sameee i LOVE those little character bits they give the doom slayer
I think there's also an element of, "UAC are fucking with shit, again."
This video made me want to play single player FPS again. Haven't touched anything but overwatch in more than a decade. Got 2016 for 5 bucks in that recent big steam sale, finished the game on nightmare a week or so ago, and it was god dammed beautiful. Thanks Civvie.
In DOOM, war is an orchestra, and you’re the conductor.

I've always felt this game was Quake's gameplay with Doom's character. You remember Quake 2's gameplay, cuz that's all it had. Remember your character's name in that? No? But you remember Doomguy. You remember the BFG, the chainsaw, the raw brutal nature of Doomguy smiling when he finds a new gun.
