I picked it up as Quake 3 immediately

I was going to give a reasoned response. I changed my mind. Fuck off dude. Seriously. Don’t go around belittling how other people feel because they are worried about their kids. It makes you look like an asshole.

It's time to play a children's card game as Yugioh Abridged is the only true Internet yugioh parody series!

That would be great for the 0.01% of cases in which my internet dropouts are a router problem and not just Time Warner Cable’s crappy infrastructure going on the blink again.

Haha I know. I think they could have picked a better example. The level looks much better once it gets deeper in, but a common trend in a lot of new shooters is to make things desaturated and brown. Wolfenstein TNO did some amazing shit, so I’m hoping Doom manages to follow suit. The gameplay from the hour long teaser…

As a fan of the original Doom, I’m very excited to pick this up.

From what I've seen so far, this is DOOM to a t. I'm very excited for this reboot.

I don’t know, using exploits in a multiplayer game should be a bannable offense. It’s just a different form of cheating. I play WoW a lot, and Blizzard tends to come down hard on people when they are caught. The fact that the Division suddenly has a gear score notation should id the people using the exploit, and with…

Well what do you propose in this case? If your connection is so unstable that it’s hard to tell you apart from someone who chronically quits (thus ruining the matches they play in), does it matter?

If you are on an unstable connection, you really shouldn’t matchmake. It’s just not fair to the opponent who might want to actually play a match and finish a fight. Go play with your friends instead. At least they will be forewarned and understand if your connection flakes out.

Americans couldn’t differentiate Asian 12-year-olds from 20-year-olds anyway. *laughs*

And as evidence that this is *exactly* what would happen if Doom played like the old, “good” Dooms of yore:

The flying sharks are a bit much, but samurai were summoning puppies all the time.

You forgot Gears of War. In Gears knowing weapon placement is vital.

I’m so exceedingly tired of this “it’s a good game, but it isn’t a good X game” argument. Are you having fun? Yes? Then get over it. This just in: the 90s? They ended 16 years ago. The gaming landscape has changed since then, and game design has drastically changed since then.

Using the Doom name guarantees that it will be a great commercial success, so why wouldn’t they? As long as gamers are too dumb to understand that this game has none of the people who worked on the original game, they are damn well going to leverage their IP.

Doom 3 did the same thing. I loved that game. Not a multiplayer guy, but the campaign in Doom 3 was good-looking, scary and hard. All I want in a Doom campaign.

And no one felt that way about The New Order until after it came out... not to mention DOOM is shipping with three modes (sp,mp, and mapeditor).

It’s extra sad given that Wolfenstein has proven you can reinvigorate a classic FPS intelligently and with plenty of love for the long time fans while also providing a great modern experience, too.

Yeah it’s not like a fighting game that has no combos or health bars and sells itself on having characters from completely different canons beat the shit out of each other could ever be a successful franchise. That kind of nerd service never succeeds.
