"The road to hell is paved...by Argent Energies"

I'm so glad Doom knows how dumb it is

Yep. It's just the right amount of stupid.

also, Data West I saw your top 10 in the wrestling thread and that's a good ass list

 

[stump sock]

I liked "Harnessing demons for the greater good!"

so silly

 

[Data West]

HELL ENERGY

Yep. It's just the right amount of stupid.

It's pretty good though I really wish I could squeeze the first Sam & Max season in there

 

[Salty Catfish]

The Doomguy ripping off and throwing that monitor at the beginning was exactly the level of dumb self-aware joke to make me think "okay, this is probably going to rule." It's been great so far.

Yeah, that and "Demonic invasion in progress" really make it clear from the beginning how serious this game takes itself

 

[demidar]

Only humans are crazy enough to try and exploit HELL for resources.

It's like humans are the real demons.

 

[stump sock]

they referenced this in the opening splash, game knows exactly what it is

 

[Data West]

I mean this is more of an easter egg than anything else

Spoiler

but part of the codex for the demons implies that doomguy IS the demons

It's that wonderful time of the year again when you can buy Baja Blast at grocery stores!

Is the live bombcast recording happening for the first time next week, or do we not know yet?

don't know yet. but the latest episode was the first time they (successfully) tried the "live to tape" recording with music bumpers during the recording and so on.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I thought that was Jeff

That was Jeff.

Drew so lame that people have to ascribe Jeff moments to Drew to make Drew look strong.

whoops

It's that wonderful time of the year again when you can buy Baja Blast at grocery stores!

heeeell yeah, been going on a few weeks now

 

[The Dear Leader]

Bought a 12 pack just yesterday. Will buy a few more if its still around next week. Stuff is too damn good.

Good decision. If you see the limited edition Pitch Black one, it's a pretty good purple berry flavor.

You know you could always go to a taco bell and get it whenever you want.

Fuck no.

Mustard is fucking garbage

What kind of madness is this opinion

 

[Fantastapotamus]

The "Polygon is bad at a videogame" thread is hilarious to me. Imagine if some of those people watched some GB videos.

That one poster is right about Monster Factory sucking, though.

That video is worse than anything GB's done, but yeah, overall people are getting way too bent out of shape for what was probably just an intern thrown in front of a controller and told to fuck around for 30 minutes.

e: that thread is up to over 1,700 posts? fucking hell

 

[neshcom]

Couldn't help thinking that when Brad died immediately in the Doom QL. People have weird expectations.

Did Griffin McElroy digest your parents Breezy?

 

[Real Hero]

No polygon vid is worse than brad playing shadow of the colossus.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I saw that but didn't get, I will next time I go. I currently have Baja Blast, Game Fuel, Voltage and Livewire in my fridge right now, I can't get enough of the Dew variants.

You know you could always go to a taco bell and get it whenever you want.

I need it in bulk fam. Plus I don't like taco bell.

That Best of Mario party or video was great I just don't have it in me anymore for this five hour streams

GB has never produced a video that poor.

 

[The Dear Leader]

It's kind of telling when a 4-5 hour streams good moments can be summed up in a 13 minute video.

 

[Noray]

oh god that fucken QL

also DOOM is fucking rad. Holy shit I miss unpretentious shooters. Call of Duty ruined FPS games for a decade. Thank god for Bethesda, between Wolfenstein and DOOM they're fucking doing it, man.

Were all those zooms and captions done by the guy that made the video or was jason doing that stuff live? Either way it was brilliant

Right? Bethesda may have really fucked up Fallout 4 and will probably euthanize the next Elder Scrolls, but as a publisher they are on fucking point. Wolfenstein, Doom, and Dishonored are probably the best first-person games this side of Looking Glass.

I dunno doomguy, sometimes I think we're the DOOM after all

 

[Data West]

I finished DOOM. It was very good. They definitely leaned hard into the old DOOM stuff which is probably necessary. Though I will say if they do a sequel, I'd like to see them stray slightly from the Doom formula. Just a little. It was cool seeing all the old demons reimagined, some were really fucking incredible looking. And it was cool seeing all the old guns return, but I don't think you could do that twice except maybe as an expansion.

There's definitely 2 ways I'd like to see a sequel go based on the ending, and I'd be happy with either.

do either of those ways involve slipgates

The Doom campaign just keeps getting better as I get deeper into it. Great weapons, some amazing encounters, great use of "old Doom" stuff.

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Doom will make the top 10. Also nominated for biggest surprise.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I'm pretty sure it was the guy that made the video, but I could be wrong because I only watched the stream off and on.

 

[ScottSullivan]

I could totally see doom and overwatch fighting it out for best surprise, both have had very tumultuous development histories

 

[Zero-Crescent]

You know Doomguy, we really are the Doom.

 

[Strax]

Overwatch will be the Rocket League of this year right down to the GOTY discussion.

 

[Data West]

I don't think Overwatch is really that surprising to them.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I think I'm done with Doom. I want a refund Bethesda

(I didn't notice how awful the textures look when I took this picture, weird)

But seriously, I didn't expect to love the narrative. Doom Marine should be the best character of 2016

Spoiler

How fucking dumb is it, that for the Demons the Doom Marine is some sort of monster.

That is so stupid and stupid. Also stupid. But great.

Also, I think Brad will love the section

Spoiler

where the enemies fight each other

given how gleefully he mentions that stuff when talking about Doom 2

I don't think Overwatch is really that surprising to them.

A Blizzard game is good? Stop the presses

(I actually only like Warcraft 3 and pretty much nothing else Blizzard has made so far)

 

[stump sock]

yeah some of those lore pickups

Spoiler

especially the demon ones

are pretty awesome.

I'm glad Alex is back to having goofy twitter names, I didn't know how to handle seeing his real name attached to his posts

 

[Data West]

Doom marine is alright, but Samuel Hayden is the star to me. Who knew that you didn't have to show a guy killing puppies and could still make me think, 'man fuck this fucking guy'

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I just love how "fuck it" they went with the Doom Marine and made him basically an angry ape who justwants to smash everything. That is just perfect.

In other news about angry apes, this

Reviews are serious business. I can't tell if things are real anymore.

 

[Myggen]

I agree to some degree that Overwatch being this good is a surprise, but at the end of the day it`s Blizzard and they rarely make games that are not great. DOOM`s single player is on another level I think, because we didn`t have an idea what to expect of id now.

 

[Data West]

I find if you read things like that in T2 Edward Furlong's voice it all makes sense

Also, that MP Beta did not make a good impression
