Yo Iā€™m so glad he was able to capture the bullets going through the wall. I swear to God that happened to me but I was fucking stoned and thought no way that could have happened.

Vindication!!!

Yeah itā€™s a mix of Djent, Groove and Industrial with flares of death metal

Meshuggah are basically where Mick Gordon gets the tone and bounciness from.

Iā€™d imagine thereā€™s tons of Fear Factory influences too

I hated djent until Mick Gordon made it cool in Doom Eternal lol (even though the soundtrack probably doesnā€™t count as djent, but certainly inspired)

Yeahā€¦ I donā€™t think Iā€™m ever going to beat Eternal on Ultra Nightmare, lol.

Iā€™ve beat the game twice on Hurt Me Plenty and started a new campaign on UV, thinking Iā€™d do well, and lol, Iā€™m not. Iā€™m doing better than my first run through (when I started on UV), but Iā€™m on Cultist Base and lost all my extra lives already.

Oh well, still having a blast. Iā€™ll beat Nightmareā€¦ eventually, lol.

UV is fucking hard for me, too. I die a lot, to the point where Iā€™m really strongly considering turning it down to HMP just because I think Iā€™ll enjoy it a little more. I didnā€™t have as big of an issue with 2016 on UV, but this game is kicking my ass!

Random thought:

I love how ā€œHurt Me Plentyā€ is only like the medium difficultyā€¦ Itā€™s like any harder is like ā€œI didnā€™t ask for this shitā€.

Apparently, shooting/grenading the Marauderā€™s shield is what gets the dog to come out.

Eternal lore question

So if the Slayer is the Doomguy from Doom 1, 2, and 64, is this then the 2nd time thereā€™s been Hell on Earth?

Edit: I was half-joking at first, but now iā€™m kinda serious. Apparently OG doom occurred in 2022. Current Doom is 2149.

I suppose thereā€™s more fan service than things that are supposed to make sense though.

So the guy from Doom 3 actually is just a normal dude thatā€™s been through hell and back and actually survived. He needs a pat on the back.

Is Doom 3 cannon? Most people are just erasing that one from memory and replacing it with Doom 64

To be honest i donā€™t know.

I also fail to see why 3 got a lot of shit for what it was. Yea, itā€™s slow paced and more of a corridor shooter but in all fairness i really enjoyed that game. It went more into the horror game element rather than the pure action one like the first title and 2016 + Eternal.

And i still like the super shotgun from Resurrection of Evil the most !

Answered your own question.

@PlusFrames my current theory is 2016/Eternals Earth isnā€™t DOOM Slayers Earth but a different dimension one.

Eternal is a solid gold fucking 10/10. I donā€™t remember the last time a game has made my dick as hard as completing a slayer gate on nightmare.

God fucking DAMN this game is a rush.

Ive been watching a few lore youtubers.

The way i understand it is the Doom games before Doom 2016 are the initial invasion. Doomguy is a regular marine that is just an exceptional soldier.

The combat drives him insane and he ends up being found near death by the Sentinels. He traps himself in hell or something after doom64. Sentinels are like a combat race like the Spartans. Doomguy proves himself to be the best fighter and goes from being a slave to being a Sentinel.

Eternal goes over that section in flashbacks. The hooded figure who may or not be Hayden learns about the Khan Maykrs, who had up until this point been a Sentinel allyā€™s, plan to use the demon energy and human souls to empower her race, and gives Doomguy super powers. He becomes Doom Slayer.

War breaks out and Doomguy and the Sentinels fight off the Demons for an unknown number of years successfully, until that ā€œThe Betrayerā€ guy ends up going thru with a plan to trap Doomguy in a magic tomb or some shit. That portion of the story is in Doom 2016 cutscenes.

He stays there in the tomb until the events of Doom 2016

Ignore the cringy narration if possible. If you cant, just watch the second vid. Its more straight forward
