Can you unprivate your response to robobuddies' video about high school? Genuine request not trying to make fun of you or anything

What a great story

this guy is gonna grow up to be an expert comedian some day i can tell

10y later and this guy still giving "whining" dressed up as "critique"

I would totally understand this type of critique in a game like Dead Space where the story is the main driver for the game and it’s meant to be a realistic take on a person’s descent into madness. But I don’t necessarily understand how the holograms are having such a negative impact on your experience for something like Doom. It’s not the focus of these games.

so it's been years but i finally read it. thank you for being so convincing that i remembered your video for 8 whole years, i owe you one. this fic was absolutely stellar.

Can you make another Syy tries to get mumkey into video.

Thank bro for not linking your video in the viral tweet. Only a few people who managed to find it on their own showed up to your comment section. Lol

God damn I used to watch this guy’s stuff back in the day.

Thank you for making these, I was baffled how far the writing fell in Eternal. I was so invested in the story from 2016 and Eternal's writing was so disappointing. Especially about that point about the environments! I hated how random the holograms in Eternal felt, where were the announcements giving tidbits of info about the BFG 10K, or the facilities in Super Gore Nest, or the oil drills in Atlantica? One of the best parts of 2016's holograms was getting some of that bite sized history from the announcements with each level. You're right, it's a perfect microcosm of the writing in Eternal, and ugh it's unbelievably so eye-rolling. That's the thing about Eternal's writing *most* of the time, eye-rolling. And every time you mention this, all anyone says is "DONT THINK ABOUT IT IT DOESNT MATTER ITS A DOOM GAME STORY DOESNT MATTER AAAH". It's frustrating. Here's hoping The Dark Ages drops this awful, tryhard comedy.

This is garbage

Just because a game is actually a video game with what was once normal video game design does NOT make it "like dark souls"... it makes it like a video game. This was the era before hyper casualization to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Games weren't movies back then, you had to actually put in work to beat a game.

Also came here from Twitter too 2:40 😂

I love eternals gameplay but the lore is the most cringy indulgent slop I’ve ever seen. It thinks it’s the coolest thing ever

Lol bro got called out on twitter 😂 2:42

Remember when Carmack said "story in a game is like story in porn movie"? Honestly just stick with the original Doom games, they're better in every way than 4 and Eternal. Even 3 had a better execution than any of this new junk.

2:35 - I'm so sorry, this is the dumbest take I've heard. This was my favorite game as a teen and was there day one for Demon's Souls. You must be young, ignorant or just flat out ignoring the quality of your own writing if you can say that and all that follows with no irony.

I appreciate any attention this game gets but good god dude that dark souls take is so horrendous GO PLAY OTHER GAMES

Ok, let's go through this point by point that I disagree with quite heavily (I'm leaving the things out I think are just interest differences, like if story should be more/less upfront in a DOOM game at 8:05-8:16): 5:50-6:05 Talking about the opening (For "opening" I count it as the substance until the title card, not sure what you count): In DOOM 2016, the opening sets up the gameplay and gives the player a feel for what they will be doing. In DOOM Eternal, it's a sequel so you already know what you are doing. It's the story that will be different, and the cutscene is there to make you feel cool and set the stage. Both of them tell you the initial premise (Hell is invading Mars/Earth), Eternal just gets to the point quicker because they assume you played the first game and know what it's about (in a gameplay sense, even though they give some tutorials). 2016 is the start of this new DOOM story, and Eternal continues it. A 1-to-1 comparison will never work because of the nature of sequels. Also, if you don't care about the cutscenes in Eternal, you can just skip them. As far as I remember, that isn't an option in 2016 and makes it an objectively worse experience if you already know the story and just want to get to killing demons. 6:06-6:28 No, this is just wrong. You get the concept of the story within the opening (at least I did), WAY before the hour mark. Hell is invading, and you kill demons. Implicitly, it implies you are stopping the invasion (Later in the video at 6:54-6:59, the example you use supports this). As you progress, it adds context on how the invasion started and then EXPLICITLY tells you what to do at that one hour mark. 6:30-6:44 That is not a writing decision, that's a creative decision. Writing decisions would be what the theme of the story is, what is said in the dialogue, and to an extent body language and the way things are said. You can't make a writing decision for writing that doesn't exist. Choosing when to speak and when to keep silent is a creative decision that works wonders in 2016 and has payoff in Eternal when we actually get to hear Doomguy speak, especially at the end of The Ancient Gods Part 2. 7:10-7:44 Again, this is a case of Eternal being a sequel. 2016 set up the gameplay, and Eternal modifies just a few parts of it, with those modifications being slowly introduced. The developers are assuming that you've played 2016 already and understand the gameplay dance, so the direct story is a bigger focus for Eternal than 2016. 7:53-8:04 The writers for Eternal also knew this. Fighting Satan at the end of The Ancient Gods Part 2, who is just a mirrored version of yourself, is such an awesome idea on a story and gameplay front. Personally, I think the fight should have been more difficult to complement the story more, but this is the biggest difference I've found between 2016 and Eternal. 2016 was trying to be a bit more grounded, but Eternal just wanted to make you feel awesome and you probably just aren't the target audience for that kind of writing. 8:40-8:54 I very much disagree with this, but I'd need to hear your points first. 9:01-9:06 A very good point. If you don't like it, skip it. 2016 doesn't even give you that option, and if you don't like the story there you're forced to sit through it. 9:34-9:49 So it's just a problem of being unable to ignore the parts you don't like, when people are telling you to ignore the parts you don't like? I'd like a bit more clarification on this. The following part didn't really alleviate my confusion on why you're so fixated on the stuff you don't like. Later parts will probably explain it better for me, so I'll reserve final judgement until then on whether your "rage," as you put, it is justified or it's you just being salty that Eternal didn't do what you wanted it to. 10:41-10:44 Ironic that his quote there is in reference to 2016, but I agree with what he says. CONCLUSION: I'm personally not convinced that the writing is bad, but I agree that looking at this stuff from a critical angle is necessary to improve it. Once I see the other parts, maybe I'll be convinced. Also, congratulations on creating this project. I know most people would have given up before finishing all of it.

It’s always the souls fans man…

Good video but the holograms don’t serve reason in eternal. Its slander. Plus i dont think anyone noticed... but hte holograms sound possessed. And the lore of eternal is that earth is taken over completely with the help of the uac via hell. And doom guy arrives late. Just some context on the holograms no one seems to remember about em. 14:21 also this is meant to be a joke on political and ethical views.

Isnt the doom eternal holograms supposed to be a gag all together? It's not like doom 2016's holos. Eternal took the edgy piss out of the 2016's story and focused on gameplay

it really does hurt his uhh? feelings meanwhile many games and mainstream media had been mocking everyone with conservative views and yet somehow this one is garbage because of the ''mortally challenge" comment??? im reminding you that you are not the resistance the entire mainstream media is parading your political ideology (leftist) this doesnt make the game garbage people like you who wants your political opinion to be the highlight of everything are the worst narcissist no matter how absurd it becomes

This is pretty much irrelevant to any of your points, but the thing about that i dislike about doom lore that was especially highlighted in doom eternal was making doom guy a demi-god (or whatever he got classified as). I much more enjoyed simple story of first doom 1 and 2 where doom guy was a just a space marine that had to save the planet. It made him feel much more sympathetic and much more importantly made the entire story of doom feel much more believable, despite the game sending the protagnist to hell or mars' moons it felt much more likely to happen.

Without Final Fight & arcade games in general, God Hand wouldn't exist. Its difficulty is simply arcade difficulty repurposed for a longer console game. It's my favorite game of all time but I keep seeing these takes that praise it while dismissing its extremely important arcade roots & do the usual "arcade games were unfair to steal your money, God Hand is NOT like that" song and dance, which only defines the arcade experience if you're both irresponsible with your money & only care about seeing the end of a game instead of getting better & better at it. Mindless coin-feeding is not what good arcade games were designed around just as God Hand itself encourages mastery and not just continuing a million times to see the end. Your actual analysis of God Hand is absolutely spot on and really good which only makes your immediate dismissal of everything that inspired it stand out more. The fact that you can only compare it to two games that came later means you've been missing out on a ton of amazing action games cuz you were tricked into thinking arcade games & arcade-style console games are unfair & dated. As good as Final Fight is though, it's extremely freaking hard and only recommended if you're willing to jump right into something that'll kick your ass. If not I'd recommend The Punisher as an introduction to classic 2D Capcom beat-em-ups. It's a console game, but 1CCing the Streets of Rage games on higher difficulties does highlight the uniqueness of the genre. Alien vs Predator is really interesting since it's kind of a proto "character action" game. For 3D stuff you can't go wrong with Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Deka/Dynamite Cop (the sequel makes for a pretty easy 1CC). Spikeout is really good and did God Hand's launching mechanic before God Hand but it was designed to be played with friends and singleplayer is even harder than Final Fight.

18:12 Without subtitles and consequential expectation for the laugh I wouldn't have identified it as the "Final fantasy laughter scene"

5:38 Man, Kaiki theme is just on point

I vehemently dislike nu doom artsyle and premise.

The holograms sound like todays newscasters.

While the "mortally challenged" joke is too much of a reoccurring gag. Did it hurt your feelings? Should they have filled it with more orange demon bad jokes instead to even it out? At the end of the day. It's kinda refreshing that a studio takes the piss out off the "progressives" and their meaningless feel good language they employ.

Morally challenged got a chuckled from me. However I completely filtered out the other times they said it I thought it was a one time joke 😅

DOOM Eternal’s internal environments look awful, and the story is garbage. Nowhere near as cared for by the developers as 2016 was. Lighting looks bad, texture quality is worse, VFX has been removed, the list goes on. The world of Eternal does not feel lived in

It's really nice to have Syy back for a while!

Does this really matter on the grand scheme of things?

“Story in a video game is like story in a porn film. It’s expected to be there, but it really important.” -John Carmack

13:25 But everything is political, which means you can never criticise political writing ever, chud! Are you media illiterate?

I am disappointed in you. "Without further *ADO*'? REALLY?! YOU MISSED THE CHANCE TO SAY 'WITHOUT FURTHER ADOOM'!

Weren't the "UAC" holograms in Eternal made by the demons? That's why they're not at all subtle or clever anymore and don't build the world, because demons are stupid. And it makes sense for a horrible evil cult company, demon-controlled or not, to have their ads EVERYWHERE. Or was that "demons did it" idea just fanon someone made up to excuse the dialogue?

I enjoyed Eternal's gameplay more however 2016 had the better vibes and the low key story was a part of that. I don't hate Eternal's story but the best part was how it sets up the prequel game we're getting.

Shiiiiit. Where have you been?

What I mean is that they barely show the love moment between them it would be better if the story was about Nani and the mc being together.

The love between the two characters is bad.

the moving portals thing isnt a plot hole. The disbanding of moving portals in other levels is just non-canonical. Also, you are canonically supposed to have pressed the stalemate button. those are literally more baseless than talking about games where you have an inventory that doesn't make physical sense.

I already didn't like how 2016 did away with the simple premise of "these are demons from Hell" and instead said "oh no no these aren't actual demons from actual Hell, they're just interdimensional monsters that are unofficially CALLED demons by the people who don't know what they are", so other than the Night Sentinels I was really put off by Eternal's weird ass story direction. But I do love the stupid ass broken-brain meathead lines that the Doom Slayer himself has, that's perfectly in line with the camp of DOOM 1 and 2, as well as 2016, chef's kiss, love it, it's goofy as shit.

1:06 "the game has a lives system" like most other sonic games. 1:15 "instant kill crush deaths are bullshit" probably the only way to prevent you from clipping into a wall, also featured in most other games. 1:22 "the completely arbitrary 10 minute time limit is bullshit" included in most other sonic related games. 4:24 ruclips.net/video/zbE6fqBuGkA/видео.html 4:36 this happens in every 2D sonic game, are you sure you've played a sonic game before? Very clearly this guy isn't meant to play sonic games.

I don't know if I'm bugging or if I'm in the alternate reality right now but I remember seeing tomiki beat minos

This was gold i love it

SYYYYYYYYYY!
