doom 2016
did not think that this game would ever make me go "awww"

best-in-class killing machine doomguy hovers over "destroy neural core", hesitates, hits "vega backup" and finishes the job

i'm so glad doomguy is a silent protag bc like. can you imagine how fucked the mood would be if he was shouting like "any more motherfuckers want a piece??"

@monorail honestly Doom 2016 is one of the few games where "Silent Protagonist" actually genuinely works and doesn't just feel like a concession for gameplay reasons.

@monorail Also yeah that bit with backing up Vega, OF HIS OWN VOLITION, WITHOUT BEING ASKED OR TOLD, considering how much other stuff he just trashed is just... ;w; <3 <3 <3

@monorail I mean the game is a masterclass in body language. You get SO MUCH EMOTION and just... so much character establishment in that opening segment where Samuel Hayden is like "everything we did was for the betterment of mankind!" and the Doom Marine just... LOOKS at the corpse in the elevator, and you can SEE the fury as he cracks his knuckles, then punches the damn speaker. just... FUCK that's good direction.
