@Manx I’m back into Path of Exile too, what’s your account name?
DarkArchville:
At QuakeCon of 2007, Id co-founder and legendary programmer John Carmack said Doom 4 was on the way. In 2008 they made it official, and over the coming years, Id dedicated one team to Doom 4 and another to their other shooter, Rage, which would be released in 2011. Both games were built on Carmack’s fancy new Id Tech 5 engine.
According to one source, Id originally imagined Doom 4 as a “rework” of Doom 2. This would establish a pattern started by 2004’s Doom 3, which Id saw as a re-imagination of the original Doom. In Doom 4, you’d play as an average human being who was gradually cajoled into joining the Resistance—a ragtag group of civilians and military—to help fight legions of demons that were invading Earth. It was… cinematic.
“People referenced Call of Duty,” said the source. “There were jokes like, ‘Oh, it’s Call of Doom.’ They referenced it because of the amount it was scripted—there were a lot of scripted set pieces . There was kind of the recognition that in order to be a big shooter these days, you have to have some amount of the big, bombastic movie experience that people get pulled through.“
Another source criticized this approach, telling me that it all felt rather mediocre: “The coolest part… were the horror and shock elements, unfortunately bookended by somewhat pointless and contrived shooting galleries of hoards of uninteresting enemies.”
One sequence was described to me as “the obligatory vehicle scene” in which players would take the gunner’s seat of a car and shoot demons as the computer drove. If you think that sounds rather generic, you’re not alone.

Yep, Chubzdoomer (the guy who made the video above) was right all along. This is indeed what Doom would be like if it was released today. =(
Keep in mind because DOOM 4’s original version was too cinematic, they scrapped it and started from scratch.
Who knows what’ll happen now, though.

Protip: if you’re straight, but somehow forced to bang a transexual at gunpoint, pick this one .
Forgot to include Maverick Hunter in my last post:
Was that honestly too mean?
You guys are going to let Louis of all posters make you guys catch feelings?
Steam’s Autumn sale is under way. I already purchased Rouge Legacy and Walking Dead: 400 Days. I’m having a tough time choosing between getting Outlast or Anti-Chamber
I didn’t really care for Anti-Chamber myself. I actually got a little bit of motion sickness from it </SNAAAAAKE> which rarely happens to me. It has some interesting puzzles for sure but its more just weird lol, 5 bucks isnt bad though so meh. Rouge Legacy is sick nasty. Lots of fun.
I picked up Hammerwatch in the flash sales, nothing else appealed much to me
