It's so insane that juxtaposition. He has the power and will to rip demons apart with his bare hands being this one man army of pure death, voilence and carnage. But if there are no demons to fight he's just a guy. He'll help his fellow humans and probably will petsit your dogs/bunny if you just ask. All his missions have been to destroy demons, but in reality it's protect humanity.
You gotta hand it to these guys. Using no words and seeing only his arms and legs they show more rage, hatred, and contempt than Kratos did over several games.
geo man this isn’t Doomguy, this is the doom slayer. An ancient being who took the path of eternal torment, with the strength of a god, super speed, and an Arsenal the size of every souther trailer park combined. he slaughtered the titan, one of the strongest demons in all of hell, with just his bare fist. He is quite literally badass incarnate
Unpopular opinion: I like Doom 2016 more than Doom Eternal. Don't worry, I'm not a game critic nor do I find Eternal hard or dislike jt. Just Doom 2016 felt more like classic Doom which is what I enjoy. Opinions, assholes and whatnot.
Just looked back at the intro after three years, and... it's incredible. In 30 seconds, without a word coming from his mouth, the Doom Slayer's personality is perfectly clear. No need for a two page long monologue, flashback, or any other narrative device. Just some trembling knuckle cracking as he looks down to a dead body on the ground, and you're fixed.
Even more so the whole intro part of the game before the elevator starts. This has been made absolutely masterful. Its like, hers a story, but we know you don't really care, so heres a fucking shotgun to shot demons in the fucking face with, kill everything that moves.
@@vegitoblue2187 Not really. The Doomslayer still shows lots of personality in Eternal, just not as much as 2016. Plus, in Eternal, he's had more time to adjust, as he's been awake for much longer.
The Doom Slayer is pure masculinity at its finest. Every problem is solved with the most direct (and violent) approach possible without even a second's worth of reconsideration.
Ah dang it. When I saw this for myself, the shotgun pump perfectly lined up with the final two notes. It was genius. Was hoping it happened in this video too.
It just sums up what anger and kicking ass is all about so well, and it makes you feel it’s so quickly. It’s extremely impressive. If there was an angry, ASMR, I think this would be it.
I am never a big fan of silent protagonists in FPS, in fact I hate Half-Life because of it. But DOOM 2016 proved that a silent protagonist does not equate an uninteresting one.
@@TheVandrell that's super true. While I love silent protagonists, games that utilize them dont really use them to their full potential. Maybe besides Chell in portal 2. What I get disappointed by is that it's usually text we know about the character, but the action in the animation could tell you so much more and have it be more impactful. Also someday I wanna see a silent protagonist use sign language. Itd just further cement that they either dont like speaking or cant. I dunno I found it weird when games had a character not speak but pretend that they just do? (Link from botw is a big irritation for me) its character we never get to see just because they dont talk and it's a disservice to the potential character acting that could be used to substitute the lack of dialogue. I know theres that mouse character from an indie title I cant remember atm and that was amazing but since the "silent" protagonist is usually used as a surrogate character. And while this is my personal experience from video games the whole "YOU are the protag" never really hits super home to me. I tend to enjoy thinking I'm helping the protag character with their story rather than it just be me
I don't feel that on this scene honestly. However, I can FEEL his unyelding rage while looking at the dead body. He's like "...ARE YOU FKING KIDDING ME ?"
@@raymondbrasuell2564 Vega did give Doom Guy what he wanted, the status of how many dead. Which was 61,337 UAC members deceased. It's why Olivia mocks him and says "You could not have saved them, anyway." She and Samuel are aware of his existence and purpose: to save and protect humanity. It's sad to say that maybe Doom Guy beats himself up every time he fails to save humans, even stupid ones who didn't deserve this. Seeing them like dumbass children who can't seem to keep out of toying with Hell's forces.
I actually love this characterization, because Doomguy/The Doom Slayer isn't some grey antihero or edgemonster like his fan portrayal or even first impression might make him seem to be. He's got anger issues sure, but he's pretty blatantly a champion for people, humanity as a whole. He isn't just mad because demons are fighting again, he's done that a million times. Hayden's complete disregard for the human cost, for the people who actually do the work for him and put themselves at risk is what sets him off and that's really good. I think that in such a short moment it's made clear he's a hero anyone can get behind. Looking out for those who have no one else, and fighting even when seemingly all chips are down. It's...Kinda a really cool thing to establish in one 40 second bit.
He's actually just irritated that demons got out of hell again. He doesn't care too much about anything else. If you read the codex, he was found by a manned expedition in a tomb deep inside hell guarded by many locks. He is also the only non-demon being to survive a trip to hell and back. I don't think he's human.
Like, it's how the mess started in the first place. Commanding officer ordered him to open fire on civilians, and doomguy responded by sending him to the ICU.
@@A____Glol, Doom Eternal confirms he’s the same Doom Guy from the 90s. Y’know; the same one who viciously attacked his commanding officer for ordering him to fire on innocent civilians ((that’s in the manual for the original DOOM)). Yea, Doomslayer is a hero.
A quote from Freeman's Mind "People usually like being called a one man army because it sounds badass but YOU don't want to be a one man army" I most likely got something wrong in the quote but that's kind of what he said
@TwistedGamer nah. DOOM eternal is also great. DOOM 2016 and DOOM eternal are more of a DOOM game than the original DOOM 1 and 2. The last DOOM game is going to be the next one for sure, because all of the lore is saying that the slayer will fight the creator of everything. he created davoth, is way more powerful, omnipotent layers beyond boundless, etc. or the icon of sin could be revived for the 7th time who knows
@@Grivian I mean, it's just the grenades that have cooldowns tbh, and for resources, later on your max ammo is absurdly high and there's ammo everywhere. Don't even get me started with Rich Get Richer and the Ammo Drop boost rune. You could blaze it with SSG and be fine. Eternal is like, both grenade cooldowns, the belch cooldown, frequently having to chainsaw (which is also cooldown kinda) because max ammo is alot lower and ammo is scarcer. Also meathook cooldown. I can't quite remember if there were any other cooldowns in 2016 besides grenades, but there sure as hell are alot more in Eternal. The faster pace just isn't his thing, it seems
@TwistedGamer I'm not trying to convince you, I'm asking you what you want and it doesn't seem like you know yourself. Doom 2016 was great but flawed. It became way too easy in the end. Too much ammo, the weapons were too powerful compared to the enemies. Your health, weapons and tools made sure that you could annihilate any room without difficulty. The amazing and challenging second third of the game is hard to balance sure, but that is what they were aiming for in Eternal. You counter the low ammo in Eternal by changing weapons, using grenades (I bet you never used them in 2016), using mastered full auto, blood punch, targeting weak points. If you are really bothered by the fact that you are using the chainsaw too much then you should try new tactics, or reducing the difficulty which is why I brought that up. Using the chainsaw is much more rare than you think if you just use your equipment intelligently. It is used more than 2016 sure, but there the chainsaw was basically pointless. I can't understand why people would prefer pointless things in games. Glory kills are the same as in 2016 so the only thing remaining is the flame belch. I don't believe that being the source of your distaste so what I take from your comment is that you are mad that you can't spam the super shotgun for the entire game. Resource management is important in every fps, but in most of them it is far less relevant that it should be. You almost never run out of ammo unless you play really badly. The original doom could be quite punishing if you wasted ammo, where you had to look for extra ammo outside of combat. The chainsaw has a cooldown so you can't softlock the game, but fuel is still scattered across the map. The grenades could have ammo but that would lead to more resource management. Comparing Doom Eternal to a repetitive hero based rpg is just madness.
It was when this scene happened, that most of us came to accept.... This wasn't a corpse being pulled out of the ground to get some leftover blood squeezed out for a profit. This was a full-fledged *ressurection* of a long-dormant idol. To be brought back to life, and built up stronger than ever before. This was the moment we knew.... *Doom was back, and it was here to fvcking stay.*
You have to hand it to Id software. The start of this game (as the rest of the whole game) is insane and extremely well done. You awake and get taught all the basics in about 5 minutes, then it tesers the story, telling you "fuck that we are here to slay demons" and introduces all main characters and roughly how they are aligned and what their goals are. then you get a really nice introduction to and personalisation of the main character without him ever saying a single word. All in the span of about 10-15 minutes. Holy fuck.
Seriously, only 47 seconds long and probably one of the best game intros I have seen. The way the E1M1 music builds up and at the end with the shotgun reload straight up the music ends. It’s brilliant!
This is so fucking cool, 10/10. It features more character development than almost any modern movies and doom guy doesn’t even have to say a word, like damn, what a fucking badass lmao
And they say games make people angry. No. This game actually helps us letting out all the rage in a virtual world to prevent getting sick in real life. This is the perfect opposite. After slaying hundreds of demons, all you feel is peace, and satisfaction.
When this game first came out and people were expecting it to be trash based on the lack of the review copies and shitty multiplayer beta, this scene single-handedly shut up every single doubter in a fucking heartbeat.
After 5 years of this amazing game being released, this is still one of the best intros in gaming history. It makes you feel what the doomslayer is feeling. Pure anger and hatred towards demons. I remember the first time I saw this and I felt like killing every demon I saw. Best intro of 2016 hands down.
“Story in video games is like story in a porn movie, they’re expected to be there, but they’re not that important.” - John Carmack, the creator of the first DOOM game
Even though this was the beginning, I knew after the title popped up and the slayer loaded his shotgun, this was going to be an amazing game.. And it was!
Hayden: Me explaining to my parents over the phone while hiding at a friend's house that I didn't hit my little sibling on purpose Doomguy: My parents coming to beat me with the family car
The cracking of the knuckles, the twitch in DOOM guy, the lack of care for the scientist. DOOM Guy doesn't give a damn about what happened. All he knows is one thing. Kill. Every. Last. Demon. Complete with the music, this scene is perfect. I remember a DYKG video on DOOM where one of the directors said along the lines of "If you're playing DOOM, you don't give a damn about story. You're there to do one thing and one thing only. Kill demons" DOOM 2016 did that perfectly. DOOM Eternal is going to be just as, if not better.
I already played the game, i watched this video a thousand times yet i can't help but hype myself and smile like an idiot when the Slayer punches the screen. It's just so fucking good.
The opening of that game was one of the best of any games ever. It just immediately caught you and put you into the mood. Doom Eternal is a big step backwards in that regard.
I'm willing to take full responsibility for the horrible events of the last 24 hours, but you must understand: our interest in their world was purely for the betterment of mankind. Everything has clearly gotten out of hand now, yes, but it was worth the risk, I assure you.
Activision on a screen: “I’m willing to take full responsibility for the terrible journey since 2005. But you must understand-“ Bethesda stares angrily Activision: “-our interest in this series was purely for the benefit of the fans, without the controversy. Things clearly did not turn out like we hoped. But it was worth the risk, I assure you. Once we tone down the demons and introduce microtransactions, they will come to appreciate-“ Bethesda slams fist into the screen and grabs the Doom rights before walking out, never looking back.
+Zack Yeah, looking back now with how things went with Bethesda now-a-days it would have been better to go that route. I was just putting the whole scope of what happened with Doom between 2005 to 2016 into perspective of what it meant for us gamers. Really hope Eternal is good, if not better.
This is why we love doom guy He’s not into that anime style 3 hour conversation of who is and isn’t justified Doom slayer knows just as well as we(the players)know that Samuels is completely full of crap and just smashes the audio transmitter in the most bada$$ way possible
It's such a good scene... Just the look to the dead body after the other guy says it was for the betterment of mankind. You can pretty much hear doomguy saying "...Is THAT really better for mankind?!".
![[WR] 1:39:07 - Doom Eternal 100% Ultra-Nightmare Restricted](/img/n.gif)
So badass. Doom guy is not saying a word but you know what he's feeling. What he is thinking. The rage and anger.
Eye Patch Guy until it is done
and guts
huge guts
Thats what he is always thinking
It's so insane that juxtaposition. He has the power and will to rip demons apart with his bare hands being this one man army of pure death, voilence and carnage.

That's all Foomguy has ever been. Just a guy that's really, REALLY fucked off with his day because some idiot released Hell onto the world.
Palpatine: “yes, let the hate flow through you!”

When this game first came out and people were expecting it to be trash based on the lack of the review copies and shitty multiplayer beta, this scene single-handedly shut up every single doubter in a fucking heartbeat.
This may be the best opening to a game of all time
When that door opened, and that shotgun was charged, you knew.....
It was on.
damn....that just sets the tone perfectly
After 5 years of this amazing game being released, this is still one of the best intros in gaming history. It makes you feel what the doomslayer is feeling. Pure anger and hatred towards demons. I remember the first time I saw this and I felt like killing every demon I saw. Best intro of 2016 hands down.
I'd play trough DOOM 2016 again just for this cutscene.
1000th time seeing and it still looks badass.
0:13 the irony though
Fucking beastly. This got me addicted to the games music.
This is when Doom came back to reclaim the throne
This was the moment that everyone agreed that Doom was alive and well
Always come back to this. It is just perfection. The rage and anger in doom guy is transported without saying anything yet it is so powerful
Satan: "we're out of coffee!"
Doomguy: 0:24
“Story in video games is like story in a porn movie, they’re expected to be there, but they’re not that important.”

*rips and tears*
videos that precede legendary events
this game has both badass intro
and outro
Even though this was the beginning, I knew after the title popped up and the slayer loaded his shotgun, this was going to be an amazing game.. And it was!
Hayden: Me explaining to my parents over the phone while hiding at a friend's house that I didn't hit my little sibling on purpose
Doomguy: My parents coming to beat me with the family car
It took them 24 hours of horrible events to realize that yes, they have to wake this guy
Это охрененно. Одно лишь интро описывает всю игру
This is 🔥
This is so well done. I immediately was on board once I saw this when playing for the 1st time.
It was certainly different to see a character getting furious over people suffering…..
When you see this intro for the first time you think one of these things (or both)
"This is gonna be good"
Or
"This isn't a normal FPS"
The cracking of the knuckles, the twitch in DOOM guy, the lack of care for the scientist. DOOM Guy doesn't give a damn about what happened. All he knows is one thing.
Kill. Every. Last. Demon.
Complete with the music, this scene is perfect. I remember a DYKG video on DOOM where one of the directors said along the lines of "If you're playing DOOM, you don't give a damn about story. You're there to do one thing and one thing only. Kill demons" DOOM 2016 did that perfectly. DOOM Eternal is going to be just as, if not better.
Eternal will have some story though.
Eternal intro is fine, but this was promise of something you will remember
Pov, you're the demon that just killed the doomslayer. You have one breath of relief before realizing god will be sending him to hell
This was one of the games where the music made me pick the hardest difficulty
why oh why doom eternal couldnt be this minimalist. we really didn't need lore dump on our faces. "less is more" as doom 2016 showed
If you watch the most recent version of this, the shotgun cocking is now exactly synced with the end of the music. Gives me chills every time
A smart demon hears the music " welp time to run."
This is probably the best intro to a game ever
I already played the game, i watched this video a thousand times yet i can't help but hype myself and smile like an idiot when the Slayer punches the screen. It's just so fucking good.
The opening of that game was one of the best of any games ever. It just immediately caught you and put you into the mood. Doom Eternal is a big step backwards in that regard.
The way he cracks his knuckles means he is ready to rip and tear
I'm willing to take full responsibility for the horrible events of the last 24 hours, but you must understand: our interest in their world was purely for the betterment of mankind. Everything has clearly gotten out of hand now, yes, but it was worth the risk, I assure you.
Thanks for the subtitles, MommyDommyMilkers
Ur welcom👍
The knuckle cracking asmr is so satisfying
Needed to scratch that itch and this video let me do it without having to boot the game up.
Got my chills. Thx, JezaGooner.
i cant get enough of this clip
idk why but the part in the game where you get to see a human sacrifice ritual pissed me way the hell off
oh yeah.
Activision on a screen: “I’m willing to take full responsibility for the terrible journey since 2005. But you must understand-“
Bethesda stares angrily
Activision: “-our interest in this series was purely for the benefit of the fans, without the controversy. Things clearly did not turn out like we hoped. But it was worth the risk, I assure you. Once we tone down the demons and introduce microtransactions, they will come to appreciate-“
Bethesda slams fist into the screen and grabs the Doom rights before walking out, never looking back.
more like id is doom guy and bethesda is hayden but whatev
This aged terribly
Try this skit with Bungie and Destiny if that helps
+Zack
Yeah, looking back now with how things went with Bethesda now-a-days it would have been better to go that route. I was just putting the whole scope of what happened with Doom between 2005 to 2016 into perspective of what it meant for us gamers. Really hope Eternal is good, if not better.
TJ Jordan Oh it definitely looks like its gonna be better.
I never played doom before this and lads telled me this is a horrorgame
I did not expect to play as the horrorcharacter
It was just perfect
This is why we love doom guy
He’s not into that anime style 3 hour conversation of who is and isn’t justified
Doom slayer knows just as well as we(the players)know that Samuels is completely full of crap and just smashes the audio transmitter in the most bada$$ way possible
Now that's how you make perfect intro! first time i watched i wasnt ready and it blew me away
It's such a good scene... Just the look to the dead body after the other guy says it was for the betterment of mankind.
You can pretty much hear doomguy saying "...Is THAT really better for mankind?!".
