Home --> Hobbies --> Gaming --> DOOM
I've been wanting to play DOOM for a while now. I didn't intially think much of it. My earliest memory of seeing something about this franchis was the Eternal trailer, and I though "eh, whatever." But then I saw some guy I know of named Eric was really into it. He liked to doodle the demons and build his own mods. And that sounds really awesome, the fact that the devs let you program you own levels to play and share online. If only Nintendo had that attitude about Pokemon ROMs. Though to be honest I have not yet played any Pokemon ROMs.
There was this set you could order called the Classics Collection. I hope it's still available because I want it! You get not only the first three games for Playstation or Nintendo Switch, but also some cool trinkets that I'd really like to have. I've asked for it before for Christmas but my mom said she had to choose between that and some other stuff I wanted. So if Limited Run makes anymore it'll be the only thing I ask for for Christmas since I've already asked for some other stuff for my birthday. But I guess I shouldn't count on it since, well, I expect the distributor is called Limited Run for a reason...
But I really really want to play DOOM, especially the o.g. games, even though I'd be fine playing the new ones some day. I just want to start with the originals. I saw this video on Youtube where some guy went through the 2016 trilogy voicing the DOOM Slayer, like saying shit the Slayer would say while killing demons if he wasn't a silent protag. I thought that Youtuber was Gougaru but I couldn't find that video on his channel. And that video was 3+ hours long. So it was probably someone else. It was fucking awesome. Still something about o.g. DOOM is better. I really don't know. Maybe it's that if I had to guess the storyline and the gameplay is far simpler, so it wouldn't be as much for new players to take in. Plus the old logo is fucking better. Fuck simplified logos!
Seriously I think it's awesome that it's just a rip-and-tear game where you just slaughter demons. That way if my recovering Catholic grandma (I mean she's not bad, she's always supported my Pokemon hobby, but she doesn't like me or my mom wearing Iron Maiden shirts) sees me playing it or something, I can just say "Hey. It's a game where you're doing God's work." And then there's the fucking Cacodemons, which in the original games are pretty fucking cute. I get why people make memes about having one for a pet. Honestly if they made plushies of the o.g. Caco's I'd buy one, I really would.
