This, i remember playing doom with my dad when i was like 6 or 7, and it was amazing. Sometimes we would stay up late (well, at least late to me, it was like 11pm) slaying demons and all that.
The problem is that young children DO have a tendency to copy violent behavior if they see someone or something else do it. Granted, Doom isn't the best example of that, but at the base level the fear of such a thing is ok. People definitely take it way too far though
Sterling Muse Well there's also the fact that humans are a rather violent species, we've had wars for ridiculous reasons, so you can't blame video games for violence completely as it's a core part of our being
DOOM's gameplay is timeless. Along with its sequel, it's arguably the greatest FPS of all time. Name another FPS, or any game for that matter, that has continued to have a dedicated and still-thriving mod scene for over *two decades*. Shooting demons at 90 mph, finding secrets, and exploring non-linear levels will always be more fun and exciting than shooting samey hit scanning enemies from behind cover, all the while being dragged through linear levels with endless set pieces. DOOM4 proves this perfectly. By taking that same gameplay core, tweaking it for modern audiences, and slapping some shiny graphics on it, they made the most compelling FPS game in over a decade.
duke nukem, quake, Unreal Tournament, half life, warcraft 3, red alert 2, Dawn of war; those are from the top of my head. Some less then 20yr but they arent even so old ;)
i am part of the current generation and i can safely say that this game holds up as much more of a fun experience than many of the other games in this style so if you are part of this generation and you are worried about it not holding up with its outdated graphics and gameplay, dont be! It is a blast to play and an experience not to be missed.
I'm (like always) very late to join the Doom party, but I have to say: This is probably the best game I have ever played. BTW: The mastermind is actually difficult on nightmare difficulty.
@@gravyspin2938 As a 16 year old, the modern day child who plays games, I can confirm that you are wrong and Doom aged like fine wine, you see time may pass, but Doom is eternal!
What you don't know, N94able, is that around 90% of those mods are just custom level packs with no gameplay changes whatsoever, and they enjoy widespread success among the fanbase in most cases. Also, there are literal thousands of them. No joke.@@N94able
The first time I've played doom was three years ago, when I was 22. I am therefore totally unbiased, because no Nostalgia Goggles are involved. Now since I never got used to it, the control scheme is bloody aweful. However we got shit like GLDoom, making it controll like a more modern game with proper mouse support and even looking up and down. And now we are talking. I just wanted to try out this old game, playing just a couple of levels to experience what this granddad of shooters had to offer. Bloody fucking hell, it is the best shooter ever. Just no Bullshit, start the game and slaughter some fucking Demons. I was totally suprised how this totally outdated looking game performes. It holds up very well today. And the modding community, just pure gold. First, I would have never enjoyed Doom without GLDoom, because you know, controlls. And then you slap some Brutal Doom or Project Brutality on and you have just pure carnage. Have a real crappy day? Russian Overkill. Makes you smile again. I loved the shit out of Pirate Doom. Winters Fury is also such a great Mod. So much Mods and Maps in general. You literally don't run out of contet with this game.
I'm an amateur, solo game dev (though, I never complete anything) and this video really reminded me what it truly means to make games. Doom is fun because you shoot things in the face. That's pretty much it. Sure, there's a really impressive technical engine making everything happen and the art is really nice, but you shoot things in the face. I've been struggling so hard to come up with good art or good music or even good UI elements and it seems like I forgot the most important part to get right; gameplay. I've read so many articles of "what not to do with Game Maker" and other such things that are considered a bad personal or professional practice and they've just made me so scared to do absolutely anything that someone might not like. I was making games that I wanted other people to like, not games that I would like to play. How fitting that such an inspirational and unique game from my childhood would be the catalyst of such a revelation. Thank you, Jirard.
Now if only professional game companies would learn this. It's not a hard thing to remember. When you can go back to games from the 80's and 90's, or even earlier, and still have fun... clearly graphics aren't everything. Think of a game as a cake. All the fancy icing and decorations won't mean anything if the base of the cake tastes like shit. Make a fun game first, focus on making it look nice after. That's exactly what they did with Doom. Hell, they tossed most of the story out the window because it bogged the game down and made it less fun. It took away from the main thing, the gameplay. Anything that takes away from the gameplay has no place being in the game.
really could've used a shout out to the modding community which has kept classic doom relevant since it's release and the reason it's still widely played today.
When I was a kid my siblings always said it was aliens, I didn't learn the monsters in Doom were demons until I was in my twenties and started going online. I particularly always thought the Cacodemon was just a floating raspberry.
+Eduardo Luna There was a quartet of DOOM novels released in the late 90's, and IIRC, the main protagonist nicknamed the Cacodemons "Pumpkins" because of the big mess they spilled out after being "popped.. Dunno where your cousin got it.
+Nathan Karr Funnily enough, the Doom novels that came out changed the lore and made it so that they were aliens instead of demons. The main character called Cyberdemons "steam demons".
I grew up playing games like DOOM, Heretic, Hexen & Duke Nukem 3D, I started young, 9 or 10, not five like you but still pretty young. I loved them, played them all day on my brothers PC, he still had DOS installed at the time, and he modified his DOS to display the level completion screen from Inferno, and I thought it was cool as hell! And because of that game, I developed the twitch reflexes I have today, remember, back then you didn't use a mouse to play DOOM, you used the arrow keys to move, CTRL to shoot and Space to open doors, so it was even more impressive when you could crowd control a room full of demons with a shotgun while dodging fireballs like a ballerina! I really miss those days, I even remember the day I beat chapter 3 of DOOM, it was a warm summer day, about 5-6 pm, the sun was starting to set, and my parents are cooking a barbecue outside the widow of my brothers room, that memory will be with me until I die, and if I were a wizard from Harry Potter it would be my Patronus, probably a Cacodemon.
That's why I say that Jirard deserves a medal for some of the games he completed. He even managed to beat Ninja Gaiden. Yes, you read it right. Ninja Gaiden! And I'm not talking about the 3D ones. No. I'm talking about the original trilogy for the NES. That's insane! Dark Souls is nowhere as difficult as Ninja Gaiden on NES.
You can also thank Doom for Steam and Valve, apparently Gabe decided to leave Microsoft and make games because of Doom's popularity. He also worked on the Windows 95 port.
+Sega Boy That's questionable and mostly rests on technicalities. All the walls are polygons though by definition of what a polygon is mathematically... So... Yeah. The environments don't really consist of 'polygons' in the sense that modern 3d engines would call it, but the level environments are still polygonal structures based on what calling something a 'polygon' actually fundamentally means...
I’m actually pissed of that this channel hasn’t got a million subs yet . This channel while not being the best has definitely become one of the hardest working out there . This guy has completed many games and I’ve completed 1 this is the man I look up to
Fun fact: A lot of the songs in Doom are midi versions of popular heavy metal tracks from the time. Bands like Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer are all represented!
Torcularis Hah yeah they are basically sound alikes but some of them are too close for comfort legally speaking. But hey, at least it makes for a killer soundtrack!
I love these games and it's funny how they carry the same stereotype that the classic Sonic games do. Everyone for some reason remembers it being a non-stop breakless action shoot 'em up, just like for some reason people remember Sonic being a non-stop speedy pinball sidescroller and neither are true. DOOM's SORTA like that but every game after is much more methodical and actually requires you to think about how best to deal with those 2 Revenants sniping you while you chip away the Imps. Unless you use cheap save states.
Both WERE geared more toward older gamers, though, though Sonic kept the younger appeal as well and put more emphasis on story, albeit with Sega of America intentionally disrespecting those bits in their marketing of the series.
I just wanted to say, I’m newer to your channel and have seen it here and there in the past but recently really got into it. I love the format! It gives me a terrific breakdown of the entirety of a game and also the way you use your game footage along with commentary is nice I hate when you have to much one way or the other, especially when it’s just whoever does the video simply centered in frame talking for the majority. But I know you guys basically just get negative feedback from TH-cam commenters (not all(obviously I’m one lol)) so I wanted to say I appreciate the channel. It’s hard to find good TH-cam channels that aren’t just clickbait or trying to run the clock up and especially since I’m a huge video game fanatic, I thank you for your work and am stoked to know people like you (you seem like a good guy) can make a living doing what you love and actually do solid work! In two day’s I’ll have my set up and start making videos, I’ve made some in the past but have yet to share due to thinking nothings good enough when I realized it never will be and you either just start or you don’t but that’s neither here nor there and making this comment far to long lol just keep killing it brotha!
Think about it, OG Doom's still better than most games, even for todays standards. And damn, saying Doom didn't age well is a damn false statement, it holds up beautifully. But holy damn screw that "Not so Bad" trophy.
I watched my dad play Doom when I was a wee lad since it came out around the time I was born. I got my start with Quake and Unreal though. Those were the days.
Dad brought home a PS2 back in '04 or '05, and I was 6. One of the games where Doom. I was scared shitless when i'd sneak into his room and play it while he was sleeping. Haven't played it since then lmao
I have to disagree with that first quote from Jirard. How "DOOM isn't as scary because it's limited by it's graphics." I'm seventeen, and I first played Doom a while ago. And I was both entertained and feeling like a total badass, and also becoming terrified when the music became eerie and when demons just jumped at me from secret doors and what not.
Replying to a three year old comment but the first time I saw a pain elemental in DOOM 2, playing it 25 years after its release, I screamed LOUD. "Aah! Ahhh! What the literal hell!!" The later games like the console ports, DOOM 64, and of course DOOM 3 focused a little TOO much on the horror aspects but damn can DOOM and especially DOOM 2 be frightening with the monster design and lighting.
The Ultimate Doom is the commercial release of DOOM. Granted it came after DOOM 2 and did have that extra, stupidly hard episode, but most people would expect a modern commercial re-release to be based on The Ultimate Doom (and I hope future re-releases include SIGIL as a standard as well, even though it's technically a mod).
The music in the Playstation Doom is amazingly good. It really makes you feel uncomfortable at just the right times. The N64 Doom has the same composer and it is equally moody.
My parents certainly knew I was playing Doom cause my dad got me into it. He's used to tell stories of his workplace lunchtime deathmatches with his colleagues and the single player. Finally got Doom at home for the 32x when I was about 9. One of my favourite games ever.
Gotta say, this became my favorite game in 2016 as someone who grew up on call of duty and other, more polished FPSs. So I think it holds up pretty dang well
I was born in 2004, so I had no idea of how good doom is, until today, after I saw this video I bought the original doom and played it, and the only thing I can say about it is that IS FKNG AWESOME. This game has aged incredibly well, I liked it much more than other games that I have played that are relatively new
The Doom argument is not up in the air. There is no correlation between video game violence and real-world violence. Study after study after study has found no link.
That actually isn't true, there are just as many studies proving a link as ones that rebuked it. Granted, I think DOOM is a TERRIBLE target for such an argument though...
Dude! I love your videos!! I’ve watched about 20 on your channel so far, and I really appreciate your version of a “review”, where unlike most reviews you describe the game through the completionist lense yet give a hefty amount of detail on the game. It’s a really cool take on these types of gaming media, and your optimistic attitude frickin rocks! Keep it up man, and that beard kicks butt👍🏼
Actually fun fact, somewhere, I forgot where, but supposedly Doomguy has a name. Being Taggart Blazkowics. Man, I wonder how far in the future Taggart is from BJ.
Doom has aged incredibly well. In fact, it's way more fun than Brutal Doom in it's vanilla state. Try actually playing other gameplay mods. Brutal Doom is the bottom of the barrel, Swan Fox-tier shit.
Pffft. Brutal Doom becomes kinda meh after a while. Want a better mod that'll keep you laughing your ass off and make you feel like an unstoppable killing machine? Go get yourself Russian Overkill v2.5
I think my favorite FPS as a kid was Halo: Combat Evolved. My cousin had it, and we would play it pretty often, trying to complete the story and have a ton of fun in the process. And then, when we got tired of playing the story over and over, we played Multiplayer. And every now and then my younger brother would join and we'd sit there, the three of us, trading controllers each time somebody died (We only had two controllers.) It was a lot of fun, I have to say. Going back and playing it is still a nice experience for me. It hasn't aged badly, I can say that for sure.
Do you want to know what most of this comment section is, yes there will be times where people actually legitimately answer his question of the day, but mostly the comments will consist of, "doom is not 3-D! You've been lied to!" It's kind of getting annoying. I think everybody knows this already. So, stop just spreading that around the comment section! Please for the love of God people! We don't fucking care anymore! We all know it's not 3-D! Get fucking over it! "
Created so many years ago, yet Doom allows you to do so many things that are impossible in modern shooters... like open doors on your own! This probably seems like magic to the average CoD player :P
This old game has been fisted by Obey the Fist, the most honest and genuine Steam reviewer of all time, the savior of PC gaming! 8,402 reviews strong and not stopping!!!
How did he not mention the infamous Cyber Demon?! Or was the the sequel? It's been so long since i played this. Also, I have a small dog, and he can totally look up.
***** Well then he should have mentioned it. Most people i know remember it more then that spider thing. It was probably the most famous and memorable enemy in the original games back then.
+Greg Evershed they tried to adapt a game with next to no story and thought it'd be a good idea to change one of the few bits of plot in the game and did so poorly.
+ShadowWolfRising you see I disagree, I think it was a great movie, and I think they did a great job creating a story from a series with little to no storyline.
ShadowWolfRising I never played the original Doom, while everyone was playing that, I was playing X-Wing. But I know the little story there is to it. The reasons for the monsters in the movie is different, it was based on genetic theory, not religion (hellscapes and demons in the original doom) I found that a better storyline than "We opened a portal to Hell"- ala Event Horizon...
Being born in 1998 I'm a bit of a youngun, but when I was 8 I played through the entirety of Halo 3, and a few years later my brother-in-law and I played through about half of the original Doom in multiplayer on the Xbox 360 arcade. Good times. Also Doom 2016 has become one of my favorite games of all fuckin time. Absolute carnage!
Favourite FPS as a child? You just played it! I remember being really freaked out the first time I encountered a spider mastermind, I had to call an uncle to kill it anytime I heard them moving around in the distance. Had plenty of fun braving through it though; it definitely shaped my love for gaming, even after all these years I still remember IDDQD lol
my 4 go to fps series is halo, doom, unreal tournament and quake. Halo was my very first fps game and the one that sticks to me the most when it comes to importance in my early gaming life
Ah blaming games for violence.

Can you believe people still spread that ignorant rant? Some excuses just never die, do they?
The problem is that young children DO have a tendency to copy violent behavior if they see someone or something else do it. Granted, Doom isn't the best example of that, but at the base level the fear of such a thing is ok. People definitely take it way too far though
Sterling Muse Well there's also the fact that humans are a rather violent species, we've had wars for ridiculous reasons, so you can't blame video games for violence completely as it's a core part of our being
DOOM's gameplay is timeless. Along with its sequel, it's arguably the greatest FPS of all time. Name another FPS, or any game for that matter, that has continued to have a dedicated and still-thriving mod scene for over *two decades*. Shooting demons at 90 mph, finding secrets, and exploring non-linear levels will always be more fun and exciting than shooting samey hit scanning enemies from behind cover, all the while being dragged through linear levels with endless set pieces.
DOOM4 proves this perfectly. By taking that same gameplay core, tweaking it for modern audiences, and slapping some shiny graphics on it, they made the most compelling FPS game in over a decade.
"samey hitscanning enemies"
I hate to break it to you man, but thats almost all the enemies you discover in the first few levels
duke nukem, quake, Unreal Tournament, half life, warcraft 3, red alert 2, Dawn of war; those are from the top of my head. Some less then 20yr but they arent even so old ;)

Doom was such a complex and sizeable program in it's early days it was actually referred to as "Doom Operating System." No joke.

People updated their 386s to 486s just to play DOOM. It was literally a killer app for PC hardware.
23 years later and DOOM still kicks ass. And it ages very well if you mod it. Especially with Brutal Doom!
+Kevin Meisenbacher or Project Brutality
Brutal Doom is just one of the amazing mods, and it's one of the weaker ones at that.
CheriSock It's my favourite, at least.

Everyone for some reason remembers it being a non-stop breakless action shoot 'em up, just like for some reason people remember Sonic being a non-stop speedy pinball sidescroller and neither are true. DOOM's SORTA like that but every game after is much more methodical and actually requires you to think about how best to deal with those 2 Revenants sniping you while you chip away the Imps. Unless you use cheap save states.
+Buttered Funnybiscuit Very true. At times the game could be very slow & atmospheric.
Both WERE geared more toward older gamers, though, though Sonic kept the younger appeal as well and put more emphasis on story, albeit with Sega of America intentionally disrespecting those bits in their marketing of the series.
Time Splitters 2 was my favourite fps as a kid, multiplayer was so much fun and the campaign was great too!
The completionist: 10:20
doom eternal: well actually…

I just wanted to say, I’m newer to your channel and have seen it here and there in the past but recently really got into it. I love the format! It gives me a terrific breakdown of the entirety of a game and also the way you use your game footage along with commentary is nice I hate when you have to much one way or the other, especially when it’s just whoever does the video simply centered in frame talking for the majority. But I know you guys basically just get negative feedback from TH-cam commenters (not all(obviously I’m one lol)) so I wanted to say I appreciate the channel. It’s hard to find good TH-cam channels that aren’t just clickbait or trying to run the clock up and especially since I’m a huge video game fanatic, I thank you for your work and am stoked to know people like you (you seem like a good guy) can make a living doing what you love and actually do solid work! In two day’s I’ll have my set up and start making videos, I’ve made some in the past but have yet to share due to thinking nothings good enough when I realized it never will be and you either just start or you don’t but that’s neither here nor there and making this comment far to long lol just keep killing it brotha!
Think about it, OG Doom's still better than most games, even for todays standards.
And damn, saying Doom didn't age well is a damn false statement, it holds up beautifully.
But holy damn screw that "Not so Bad" trophy.
I watched my dad play Doom when I was a wee lad since it came out around the time I was born. I got my start with Quake and Unreal though. Those were the days.
Nate Szigeti
It makes me sad that the original Unreal was pretty much forgotten because of UT.
@GREENWOLF 1337 Unreal Tournament, the PvP arena shooter that iirc was competing with Quake 3 Arena
When I was a kid and I wasn't supposed to be playing FPS games my favorites were Unreal Tournament '99 and Halo Combat Evolved, both on PC
RayShadow278 nice, i found UT99 at my local pawn shop and have been playing the hell out of it!
With the games Jirard has completed over the years, he's already gone to hell and back.
+jordzkie05 he actually 100% that pile of shit?
I think his beard took the 'go to hell' line too seriously
Dad brought home a PS2 back in '04 or '05, and I was 6. One of the games where Doom. I was scared shitless when i'd sneak into his room and play it while he was sleeping. Haven't played it since then lmao
I have to disagree with that first quote from Jirard. How "DOOM isn't as scary because it's limited by it's graphics." I'm seventeen, and I first played Doom a while ago. And I was both entertained and feeling like a total badass, and also becoming terrified when the music became eerie and when demons just jumped at me from secret doors and what not.
Replying to a three year old comment but the first time I saw a pain elemental in DOOM 2, playing it 25 years after its release, I screamed LOUD. "Aah! Ahhh! What the literal hell!!" The later games like the console ports, DOOM 64, and of course DOOM 3 focused a little TOO much on the horror aspects but damn can DOOM and especially DOOM 2 be frightening with the monster design and lighting.
Not exactly horror, but it was suspenseful as heck.
Ultimate doom is not the original. Ultimate Doom is a "Re-release" or expansion with a new episode. Should also note, it came after Doom 2
He says that in the video lol
The Ultimate Doom is the commercial release of DOOM. Granted it came after DOOM 2 and did have that extra, stupidly hard episode, but most people would expect a modern commercial re-release to be based on The Ultimate Doom (and I hope future re-releases include SIGIL as a standard as well, even though it's technically a mod).
Jirard, for dedicating completing video games for everyone, you have my thanks and my trust.
The music in the Playstation Doom is amazingly good. It really makes you feel uncomfortable at just the right times. The N64 Doom has the same composer and it is equally moody.
this didnt show up in my subscriptions. this annoys me so much
Agreed
+Anders Pope same, i've been noticing this more often recently
Same here.... smh
+Anders Pope Same
I've never had any of these problems. i've even skipped the past couple videos and this still showed up.
My parents certainly knew I was playing Doom cause my dad got me into it. He's used to tell stories of his workplace lunchtime deathmatches with his colleagues and the single player. Finally got Doom at home for the 32x when I was about 9. One of my favourite games ever.
"being able to look up and down? what you thought that you were playing?"
**laughs in doom source ports**
I like how he complained about the levels looking so much alike when I can practically recognize each part of each level that he shows.
If you've never played doom before, they kinda all look the same
I cant help but to almost burst into tears when I hear that first soundtrack reminds me of when I used to play this with my dad (he died last year)
what are your thoughts on brutal doom? have you tried it? its classic doom cranked up to 11 on steroids!!!! i friggin love it!
It completely ruins the balance of classic doom though. Not saying brutal doom is bad.
THE BEARD IS ALL GONE
Gotta say, this became my favorite game in 2016 as someone who grew up on call of duty and other, more polished FPSs. So I think it holds up pretty dang well
please tell me your going to do DOOM II & 3
+scarthman2 - and DOOM 2016
Well he has the big edition so maybe
Spike 92.3FM what about doom 64
But there are only 3 doom games, doom 1 (including ultimate doom and all the chapters) doom 2, and doom 2016
Suicidal Forest DOOM 64 was a original game published by ID Software developed by Midway
took me 5 mins to realize this is on the original doom and not 2016 lmfao
+PinoyPhill From what I heard, no review copies were released, meaning there's no way it could be completed yet...
least, one hopes.
+Piano Aquieu I'm hearing fantastic things about the single player
+FroztiProductions It's amazing so far, he's probably thinking of Doom 3.
I was born in 2004, so I had no idea of how good doom is, until today, after I saw this video I bought the original doom and played it, and the only thing I can say about it is that IS FKNG AWESOME. This game has aged incredibly well, I liked it much more than other games that I have played that are relatively new
I was born not many years after, I've played Doom on DOOM3: BFJ edition almost my whole life.
DooM my favorite game of all time❤️
I almost definitely agree.
The Doom argument is not up in the air. There is no correlation between video game violence and real-world violence. Study after study after study has found no link.
+tibschris It's mostly politics. _DOOM_ has been a favorite target of "concerned citizens" and Evangelicals for years.
That actually isn't true, there are just as many studies proving a link as ones that rebuked it. Granted, I think DOOM is a TERRIBLE target for such an argument though...
Ah, the old completionist.
When he actually showed endings to videogames.
Man I loved those days.
I like to think Doom Guy found his bunny in hell. The one demon he doesn't kill, cause it's a nice, but still hellish jackalope.
One of the older Gauntlet games would make for a good Completionist video. Like Gauntlet Legends or Dark Legacy.
You must summon your persona!
+Yu Narukami Dark Legacy for sure.
I lost it when you said Doom hits you with music like someone is pouring their soul into a Casio keyboard. 9:19
4:06 while that “go to hell” bit was going on I realized there were 666 dislikes on the video.
took me the entire video to realize he shaved
wow
+Aariachang24 Me too. Now, I think he should review Duke Nukem 3D. I loved that game as a kid.
+Useless Gohan well I actually wear glasses
***** so i see beards on people?
Me too
Dude! I love your videos!! I’ve watched about 20 on your channel so far, and I really appreciate your version of a “review”, where unlike most reviews you describe the game through the completionist lense yet give a hefty amount of detail on the game. It’s a really cool take on these types of gaming media, and your optimistic attitude frickin rocks! Keep it up man, and that beard kicks butt👍🏼
Oh my god, the GungHo Al reference just made my day =)
+Henry Oneal fuck off we don't want your scams
Actually fun fact, somewhere, I forgot where, but supposedly Doomguy has a name. Being Taggart Blazkowics. Man, I wonder how far in the future Taggart is from BJ.
Dye Violetly
well wolfenstein is in the 1940s
and commander keen, not sure
That's from DOOM RPG 2 I think. Not canon AFAIK.
It is Canon. They are related to each other. Doomguy is BJ's great grandfather or something, if I remember correctly.
I thought it was Flynn Taggard?
@@tarjet3867 *Taggart
Doom is like an over the top death metal album cover you can play and I love every second of it
Doom hasn't aged well, you say??? Well then, Jirard... we, the Internet, challenge you to complete... BRUTAL DOOM!!!
Doom has aged incredibly well. In fact, it's way more fun than Brutal Doom in it's vanilla state. Try actually playing other gameplay mods. Brutal Doom is the bottom of the barrel, Swan Fox-tier shit.
BallisticSentinel
..what?
dlausactor6373 Brutal Doom makes the game worse, why the fuck would you recommend that?
Pffft. Brutal Doom becomes kinda meh after a while. Want a better mod that'll keep you laughing your ass off and make you feel like an unstoppable killing machine? Go get yourself Russian Overkill v2.5
Doom, so scary it frightened Jirad's beard off...
I'm glad someone else noticed how much half-life has the same feel as doom! Even the premise is very similar! Thanke you, that one video gamer!
Jirard should do a video on a Fire Emblem game. I don't care which one. I just want to see some FE love. :)
I'd rather have him do AW.
Nope.avi
I wanna see him do a bad game lol
He said he'd get around to one sometime.
Wait what happened to the Beard???? What did I miss Modern Major General Beardman???
I think my favorite FPS as a kid was Halo: Combat Evolved. My cousin had it, and we would play it pretty often, trying to complete the story and have a ton of fun in the process. And then, when we got tired of playing the story over and over, we played Multiplayer. And every now and then my younger brother would join and we'd sit there, the three of us, trading controllers each time somebody died (We only had two controllers.) It was a lot of fun, I have to say. Going back and playing it is still a nice experience for me. It hasn't aged badly, I can say that for sure.
Do you want to know what most of this comment section is, yes there will be times where people actually legitimately answer his question of the day, but mostly the comments will consist of, "doom is not 3-D! You've been lied to!" It's kind of getting annoying. I think everybody knows this already. So, stop just spreading that around the comment section! Please for the love of God people! We don't fucking care anymore! We all know it's not 3-D! Get fucking over it! "
Created so many years ago, yet Doom allows you to do so many things that are impossible in modern shooters... like open doors on your own!
This probably seems like magic to the average CoD player :P
Well, sliding doors aren't exactly the overarching standard of the modern-day real world.
That's why I skipped CoD and played Arma.
And also stuck to Doom.
The soundtrack alone is brutal, let alone the actual game.
Valve will not hide the fact that Half Life was completely inspired by Doom.
Ketorulz true but my game is better
explains why the storyline is a copy of doom's
Oh yeah! I think I've heard of this video game before.
This old game has been fisted by Obey the Fist, the most honest and genuine Steam reviewer of all time, the savior of PC gaming! 8,402 reviews strong and not stopping!!!
No one cares about your shitty reviewer, fuck off
How did he not mention the infamous Cyber Demon?! Or was the the sequel? It's been so long since i played this.
Also, I have a small dog, and he can totally look up.
*****
Well then he should have mentioned it. Most people i know remember it more then that spider thing. It was probably the most famous and memorable enemy in the original games back then.
“Dogs can’t look up” is from Shaun of the dead” not gung-ho al.
jerrard is one of the only people I know who looks good both with and without a beard
I know right
anyone else sad that body's don't stay anymore in doom 2016? it just feels like somethings messing whenever i play doom. :(
Doom has definitely aged extremely well, saying it's not aged that well makes you sound under the age of 18
Where... the beard...... WHY!?
Why does everyone shit on the Doom movie? I fucking love that movie!
I don't like Dwayne Johnson...in like anything he's done.. except maybe The Rundown...eh no I don't like Dwayne Johnson
+Greg Evershed I didn't love it, but it was a good time. I don't understand the hate for it either.
+Greg Evershed they tried to adapt a game with next to no story and thought it'd be a good idea to change one of the few bits of plot in the game and did so poorly.
+ShadowWolfRising you see I disagree, I think it was a great movie, and I think they did a great job creating a story from a series with little to no storyline.
ShadowWolfRising
I never played the original Doom, while everyone was playing that, I was playing X-Wing. But I know the little story there is to it. The reasons for the monsters in the movie is different, it was based on genetic theory, not religion (hellscapes and demons in the original doom) I found that a better storyline than "We opened a portal to Hell"- ala Event Horizon...
Being born in 1998 I'm a bit of a youngun, but when I was 8 I played through the entirety of Halo 3, and a few years later my brother-in-law and I played through about half of the original Doom in multiplayer on the Xbox 360 arcade. Good times.
Also Doom 2016 has become one of my favorite games of all fuckin time. Absolute carnage!
You should do Doom 2 or Final Doom.
you beat it on nightmare? fuck dude. that shits on my bucket list
This is the first time I've seen your video and the quality is too notch you've earned my sub
Favourite FPS as a child? You just played it! I remember being really freaked out the first time I encountered a spider mastermind, I had to call an uncle to kill it anytime I heard them moving around in the distance. Had plenty of fun braving through it though; it definitely shaped my love for gaming, even after all these years I still remember IDDQD lol
lol the first two doom games are not fucking scary!!!!!
MadSociety2029 When you are 4 or 5, yes, they are.
Do a completionist for DOOM 2016 man please!
Doom aged very well in my opinion, just look at how active the community is today to see for your self.
THE BEARD
THE BEARD IS GONE
AND I AM LOST
I AM LOST
THERE IS NO LONGER HOPE
BUT BEARDMAN!
PBodyIV super beard bro + no longer beard bro :(
The last boss is that Spider? Then which Doom had that Demon Wall with Romero's head inside?
I think it's Doom 2
Yeah, that`s Doom 2
DOOM II. It's called the Icon of Sin.
Dobre Narcis - Florin I don't know which is Doom 3's final boss, but I know it isn't that :P
Fernando Langalú
Doom 1 final boss = Spider Mastermind
Doom 2 final boss= The icon of sin, that thing on the wall you are talking about
my 4 go to fps series is halo, doom, unreal tournament and quake. Halo was my very first fps game and the one that sticks to me the most when it comes to importance in my early gaming life
Doom is still sooooooooo badass!
Big. Friendly. Giant.
