What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.
Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.
They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.
Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?
