@snacks they didn’t want to keep making the same game, and had a massive amount of backround lore written for doom (2016) that gave them the opportunity to do this?

i mean doom eternal was already full of memes and references and gameplay elements that were absolutely not what you’d expect from a doom game. i fwt tbh

@snacks there’s an ocean of boomer shooters to fill the need for doomslop. there were already too many games like it in the 90s

they should take doom apart and rebuild it like the fuckin ship of theseus if you ask me. like, how often do game studios get the opportunity to experiment so freely with a highly popular and profitable media franchise without risking commercial failure? by now it’s an established fact that basically anything goes as long as it has doomguy and his arsenal as the vehicle for the player’s power fantasy. they should make good use of this, and do some things that haven’t been done before.
