DOOM

As the saying goes: “The DOOM Slayer enters a room full of demons, throws a grenade, every demon in the room dies, and then the grenade goes off.”

"worst gun is the plasma rifle" you don't need to be nice to the pistol it can take the criticism

Props for actually playing BFG Division every time someone says "Doomslayer"

DOOM 2016 is the story of a man waking up, realizing demons are attempting to invade the mortal realm, *and then proceeding to show them what that feels like*

I feel bad for the alternate universe where DOOM 2008 released

BFG Division playing every time you say "The Doom Slayer" is probably one of the funniest running jokes i've ever seen in a game review.

Basically every second of Doom 16 is incredible, but I think the best part is the first time you step foot into hell. You are the only human in the plane of ultimate evil. One versus uncountable billions of vile monsters. And what is the response from these creatures? A warning. To their own. "He is here."

"One new monster is the Summoner who works kinda like the archvile from DOOM 3. Shoots damaging fire, spawns monsters, likes to zip around. But has a weakness to being *torn in half by a motherfucking chainsaw* " Favorite quote

"They just weren't counting on me having this awesome shotgun" - DOOM storyline in a nutshell

Fun Fact: The first thing you do in Doom 2016 is kill everyone in the room and then put your pants on. I feel like knowing that enhances all these badass memes.

I love that little scene where the Slayer glances and rubs his hands on the Argent Energy Filter, seemingly cooperating at first, only to smash the damn thing to pieces. I love it. I love the modern Doom games

28:46 Perhaps she did get her end of the deal. I initially thought she was sacrificed to create the Spider Mastermind, but she actually got transformed into the Spider Mastermind. The machinery on it is really reminiscent of Olivia's exoskeleton thing she wears. There's even a statue of her in Eternal, so Hell has some respect for her.

This game reminded me that I didn't dislike shooters, I disliked generic military soulless shooters. It had been so long since I enjoyed an action game.

"Bethesda hasn't even been able to kill Doom yet. That's why it's Eternal, baby!" Civvie11

I think the fact that a tiny little shower of health and ammo falls down right after the Spider Mastermind takes a BFG to the mouth (even though the game is over at that point) is a really nice touch :D

Doomslayer is a textbook example of how to create a character that doesn't have to speak to be a fully fleshed out character.

Duke Nukem "Forever" Doom "Eternal" Halo "Infinite" I'm sensing a theme here. What's next? Quake "Unending"? Blood "Perpetual"? Hexen "Evermore"?

Seeing doom guy fist bump a little action figure of himself is really cute and I love it.

I could probably listen to this guy talk for half an hour about a particularly neat shaped Cheeto he found in his bag, he’s delightfully enthusiastic

Love the berserk power up. Turns Doom 2016 into the best point and click game, ever.

For as weak as his boss fight ended up being, I like that the Cyberdemon comes off as the only demon not scared of the Slayer; he just *HATES* you.

"Its not the boss of this game, you are." That line perfectly explains Doomguy in this game and reminds me how he killed the Titan and scared hell shitless.

While I love Eternal's art design to no end I think 2016 had a more visceral visual appeal. Granted Eternal isn't a day care simulator, and the art style reflects the whole depiction of demons and hell, but 2016 looked brutal

“Do you have any last words?” “Yeah....... The Doom Slayer.”

“THEY REBUILT HIM?!?!?!” How are you supposed to humiliate him if he’s not there?

If Having a Demon Say , "He is here ." , when you step into hell means you're the utmost badass that ever breathed oxygen , then someone get this man a fucking trophy .

S. Hayden S. Ayten S. Atan "Im not the villain in this story" Right.

The cool thing about the BFG rays is that they do damage on every FRAME they attack an enemy. That means the higher your frame rate, the more damage the BFG does.

“Hell is very scared of him because he’s an unstoppable demon grinder on legs” the way you said that is perfect.

12:25 To Doom Slayer's credit he DID at least look for some kind of off button/switch before resorting to smashing it to pieces.

“Ya crack’em open like a Maine lobstah and ya rip’em a paht!” I’m from Maine, great job on the accent 😉

"What do DOOM fans want in a game?" VIOLENCE

13:39 I love this part. Civvie's having to yell over BFG Division playing due to his pre-established joke about it playing everytime someone says Doom Slayer. These are jokes ladies and gentlemen.

“He’s back! He’s stronger! HE’S STILL FUCKED!” My favorite line

"You don't need to survive it, IT has to survive YOU! YOU are the boss in this game" Now that is a powerful line

Compared to Eternal, i liked 2016's characterization of the slayer. A fucking demon killing grinder that couldn't give a shit about the story around him is my type of protag.

Rich get richer+fully upgraded turret chaingun is the real shit No overheating,infinite ammo,and enough firepower to cut Mars in half

So cool story: One of my game design professors actually worked on DOOM 3, and the cancelled DOOM 4, and he showed us concept art for the version of DOOM 4 he worked on, and its clear that concepts from that game are being brought into Eternal. Not gameplay ideas, but ideas like demon tentacles wrapping around skyscrapers, stuff like that. And just to score more points here, another professor of mine worked on the original Halo trilogy, and is the guy who made the animation of that one enemy pissing in the corner. Apparently it was only originally supposed to happen once every thousand times, to avoid the game getting a higher ESRB rating, but the play testers found it, loved it, and so they decided to make it happen every time.

the ironic thing about the mention of the cancelled doom is that despite how it looked. the early footage seemed to have given the impression that what the doom they were first showing off would have been how diffcult it would have been to be anyone but the doomguy suriving the forces of hell

the fact that Quad Damage even makes *the sound* is awesome

One of my favorite things about this game was, ironically, the lore. The codex entries you find everywhere are very well written, and are actually really interesting if you sit down to actually read them.

"You don't have to survive the bosses; THEY have to survive YOU! You're the boss in this game!!!" What a great quote, Civvie!

"The artificial intelligence developed with hell technobabble who somehow isn't evil" Funny you should say that, considering that VEGA is now basically confirmed to be God in the DOOM universe.

Fun fact: When you put the third wraith to sleep you can hear Olivia crying at distance.

"every time you say Doomslayer BFG division starts playing" that's what's supposed to happen, CV.

DOOM 2016 was one of the most fun games I have ever played in my life, and it's also the second shooter game I ever completed. Edit: when DOOMGUY backed up vega in that one level, I did a James A Janisse "aw that's nice" in my head, because it was the nicest thing anyone ever did in the DOOM franchise.

9:06 It has been done in the past a few times, but the most impactful one I've found is the Killer Instinct remake's soundtrack which literally tied every hit to a beat in the song... *also done by the musical demigod himself, Mick Gordon.*

Headline: “Local man literally too angry to die.”

“The Fury Road of FPS games” My guy, I couldn’t have put it better myself

This video made me want to play single player FPS again. Haven't touched anything but overwatch in more than a decade. Got 2016 for 5 bucks in that recent big steam sale, finished the game on nightmare a week or so ago, and it was god dammed beautiful. Thanks Civvie.

One thing 2016 did better than Eternal: It was so much more visually savage. Every kill was visceral and gore drenched psychotic slaughter. You just never forget when you get the berserk power up, run up to an imp and proceed to rip its face into two gory halves. Doom eternal went for a much more cartoony and stylized depiction of its' violence It was all gory, but every glory kill had some element of what I like to call bloody slapstick to it. Shoving a Demon's arm bone through its head was brutal but every time you did it it was like the slayer saying to the demon 'well now don't you feel stupid?' Also, let's never forget pogging a zombies' head into down into its chest, I laugh every time and yes it's fun to see a cacodemon burp on the grenade that I shot into its mouth. But come on. In Doom 2016 I ripped off a dudes leg and caved in his skull with his own dismembered, iron booted foot, splattering his brains across the Martian wastelands. Doom 2016 was humorless in it's over the top violent indulgence. Eternal has so much good humor that is used to lighten the violence, but if I had my druthers I'd want it to have 2016s reckless abandon. Especially for the marauder. His glory kills are the tamest and he's the most frustrating, unbearable monster in the game. I wanted to cut his head off and twist his horns until it broke his skull sideways before spiking and shattering it in to goo. We deserved a visceral glory kill on that sucker and I feel like doom eternal pulled back on us.

"our interest in their world was purely for the betterment of mankind" **looks over at a mans corpse**

"The plasma rifle is the worst gun" *uses stun bomb* someone never saw how much damage the heat wave does

Watching this video I realized how important Doom 2016 is to me. For reference I was born in 1996. so I'm not necessarily the definition of an old school gamer yet lol. With that being said, the first two video games that I had ever played in my life where the original super Mario Brothers and Duke nukem 3D. Followed by Doom 2 and then doom 1. After my early gaming years I primarily played sports games and platformers. By high School I was mostly playing RPGs. I liked call of duty but something never felt quite right. Eventually after high School I got a PC. At some point after that doom 2016 ended up in my steam cart. After that the adrenaline addiction never stopped. from there I went to Doom eternal to Doom 3, Duke nukem 3D again, quake, blood and dusk. The point I'm trying to make. is it made me consider a genre I had long forgotten about. more so in how it makes you feel then what it does mechanically. And that's priceless.

Doom 3 is what ID wanted, Doom (2016) is what fans needed

"shiny, slick, heavy metal album cover hell..." For three years I've been trying to come up with the words to describe it and you did it flawlessly

"Everytime you say the name BFG Division starts playing" Proceeds to play it every time its said haha. It's awesome to hear civvie hate shitty games but theres something wholesome about hearing him in love with a game.

There's something reassuring about Civvie telling me "you're the fucking boss of this game." Thanks dude, I needed that.

I've watched this video at least 4 times, it was my KZfaq recommended introduction to Civvie, and I've binged since. Also, this video probably captures the Civvie style better than any other. More!

Calling it right now the week of Doom Eternal's release he's going to hype up that his review on twitter and in his discord, only to pull a fast one and review Animal Crossing New Horizons instead. and nobody's going to mad about it in the slightest.

28:10 Even the Doom Slayer knows the value of a non evil A.I.

2:37 “theoretically human” is the best thing I’ve heard in awhile 😂😂

After having played eternal, 2016 is now so slow it’s actually relaxing.

13:31 "All doom mods are now cannon" oh no... oh no...that means...Hdoom is cannon

Hehe.. Remember how Civvie thought Doom 64 wasn't canon bc of all that Argent D'nur stuff? Yeah Eternal has something to say about that

Damn. I just realized at the end of the prolog.. Doom Slayer hears Samuel Hayden say it was for the betterment of mankind, looks down at the dead guard in the elevator. His hands shake before he destroys the screen, he's going after Hayden too, he's not getting away with all of this.

That "Hey baby, d'you miss me?" Is still funny a year later.

"Only theoretically human" is the best way to describe the Doom Slayer.

3:20 John Carmack hasn't changed his expression in 30 years.

"He's back! He's stronger! He's still fucked!" perfect

Being a normal human trying to fight the overwhelming demon horde on earth in a losing battle sounds like a fun game if it's just not titled doom

"I have an Oculus Rift, it's a fine machine." ...pro Boneworks when, Civvie?

3:35 "Bethesda hasnt even been able to kill this game yet.That's why its Eternal, BABY!" That quote was freaking hilarious and on point!

This video has the best 2 minute opening of any game-related video on youtube. Absolutely epic.

Looking back at this gameplay footage, 2016 feels so calm and collected compared to the insanity of Eternal.

"The Obsidian Pillars Of The Blood Temples" is either the name of my heavy metal band, or my sex tape. I forgot which.

8:16 "The music is somehow tied to the gameplay... It's like you are playing the music yourself, with guns" That's exactly what Mick & crew done in Killer Instinct, where music tracks adapt to the rhythm of the fight and every hit in ultra combo have a musical sound. So awesome.

Doomslayer in the lore: *Unstoppable force that every demon is terrified of* Doomslayer in the gameplay: Ouchy I died from two imp shots

19:53 Just saving this for myself.

“...and the Doom mods are all canon” Wait, does that list include the HDoom mod? Cause...that explains why hell spawns state he had a sword....

"Do you think they were brainstorming and said let's call it Doom Forever and somebody at the table shot it down... for obvious reasons." ~Civvie 11 God Doomn I love this channel!

DOOM 2016 is such an awesome game -- the way collectables was handled in this game was brilliant since on the harder difficulties you really need to find all those secrets and collectibles to get upgrades so you're motivated to seek them out.

The shotgun's charged burst is actually great for late game, since it does a ton of single-target damage both safely and quickly. The rocket launches with the lock-on upgrade does high single-target damage as well, both not safely (at least not until you get the preator blast immunity upgrade). I also believed the grenade launcher was better but I ended up using the charged burst a lot more often.

"I think we can work together and resoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOlve"

They keep asking "Pro TNT when" I ask "Pro Resurrection Of Evil when", the Doom 3 expansion that went "Oh shit, we got styled on by Half Life's gravity gun, best make our own"

“The hype for this game is eternal” That’s called foreshadowing

Most FPS games: Kill specific enemies and if you kill a teammate, its game over. DOOM: KILL EVERYTHING THAT MOVES

Me: * plays on hurt me plenty * "Damn the boss levels where really challanging" Civvi: "They were really easy even on ultra violence" Me: "What?" Civvi: * infinite ammo, bfg exploit *

All the codex entries are actually really entertaining and well written, and while the slayer may not care about the reasons for the story, the player has a lot of reason to, especially how some of the codexes implies that the doom slayer is the doom guy after an eternity of demon slaying

Doom is a greatly priced album with a free game included.

16:48 I just now realized....that entire space...is literally just Dead Simple. 3 Years after i play the damn game. Well done ID.

*reads description of the BFG* Doomslayer: *HEAVY BREATHING*

Unlike some of the other game review videos, I love how happy you sound during this one, like FINALLY something to live up to your childhood memories.

I'm from Maine and I appreciate our state being mentioned in a video about DOOM.

"it's like the enemies have some kind of ai" *proceeds to most hype elevator scene the history of anything* this is why i subbed while back when i stumbled upon your postal series of reviews. really good shit dude.

I will never forget my first reaction to DoomGuy throwing away the monitor at the very beginning of the game. Priceless!

I've come back to this video on a Civvie binge, and I've got to say it. I prefer 2016 over Eternal. Not bait, just a opinion. Just the overall vibe and feeling of 2016 was clearly just more me.

DOOM 2016 ammo: 😀 DOOM ETERNAL ammo: 💀

“They didn’t manage to kill doom yet, cause it’s eternal baby!” *oh, oh, i see what you did there*
