DOOM 2016 & The Rebirth of FPS 

The weapons in Doom are so afraid of wasting the Doomslayer's time that they reload themselves...

that thumbs up in lava is a reference to the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Ah, yes, my favorite genre of music: _violence._

I think the ability of carrying all weapons at the same time is just as important as no reloading. When I saw a gameplay video on YT, the guy used the technique of switching between weapons to reduce the "cooldown" even further. As it turns out, even with guns not needing to reload, there are still lags between two shots, especially for the super shotgun and gause canon. But switching to another weapon is faster than that. So the guy killed a mancubus in about 2 seconds with 4-5 different weapons each shooting once. I tried that technique and it was not only faster, safer, and infinitely more satisfying.

15:38 "with more upgrade points you stand more of a chance against the demons" let me fix that, the more upgrade points you have, the lesser the chance the demons have to survive you :)

For some reason im fine with this games exposition and story because listening to Haydens voice is soooo soothing. God its just too good. Im ready for Eternal

I'm deathly afraid you don't understand why doom guy gave a thumbs up in the lava

did you know that the kickass theme of DOOM 2016 remake was made using a chainsaw and a synthesizer, they'd record the sound of a chainsaw and then stick the audio through a synthesizer, and it sounds badass

The chainsaw isn't "risk vs reward" it's "cost vs gain". That's because the chainsaw is a guaranteed kill, and also it has a lot of range (like berserk). About the range: I know the chainsaw is a melee weapon, but when you use it you "jump" to the closest enemy in the direction you're looking.

The glory kill/chainsaw mechanic is my favorite part of Doom 2016. Instead of cowering behind cover or scouring for health packs and ammo all the time, when you're on the ropes, this game tells you to *whip out a chainsaw and charge the biggest monster in the room.* F-ing awesome.

8:56 "You can't stay in one spot. You can't hide behind cover" *laughs in classic Doom door camping*

I believe the reason why they mad us sit through sam's and olivia's monologs was to make the players not like them that much more.

I'm so glad you really went in and analyzed the music!

Its far from the truth to say theyre force feeding you plot, its not harmful to let the player chill at the end of a level. 2016 did incredible with the balance of plot and action

Good video! 😃 I'm near 65 and still love playing Doom. Been playing it since 93. Haven't played the latest though, since Doom 3. So I'll certainly have to get this latest version. Hey; You're never too old for FPS games like Doom,F.E A.R., Splinter Cell, Half Life, so many more The ole cat and mouse mindset, put in gaming, that took me in. Love it!!! Thanks for sharing with us!👍

i've always loved the statement buy the devs on the story in 2016... "i'ts a completely ridiculous story... you know, "demonic invasion in progress" is just ridiculous, but everyone *inside* the story is taking it completely seriously, so it still works" (paraphrased, obviously)

I thought Doom did a good job telling its story One of my biggest complaints of games today is that it is mostly one big cutscene and like %20 actual gameplay Like Death Stranding

As far as plot goes, DOOM actually did it fairly well; in a way it's like the first Star Wars movie, in that it's designed to reel you in and get you engaged. The lore about the Doom Slayer and Hell is really interesting and unique (there's strong evidence that he is indeed the original Doomguy, something that Eternal will without a doubt answer), and subtle/wordless moments like him punching every screen that had that megalomaniac Hayden's voice on it or him saving VEGA from complete atomization really helped define his personality. It's showing without telling. When it comes to the story and how it's presented to the player, you could do far, far, far, far worse than DOOM...*glares at Death Stranding and The New Colossus*...a whole lot worse.

DOOM: *to you* Don't stand still or you'll die Imp: *screeches* DOOM: you know what to do

Dang dude. That OST. It just screams, "Welcome to Doom" to me. Nice review i'll say. :)

13:06 - actually a reference to The Terminator movie

What makes the soundtrack so awesome to me is that in combat, you'll never hear the same mix. The music is many, many layers that will randomly* go together each encounter.

I typically only stick to one console per gen, and i went with the switch here so i got super excited to be able to play doom on it. Theres a plethora of technical issues, but the core gameplay is rarely affected by it. Everything you said about the game in this review is on point, though i cant say much about the multiplayer as i only put about 3 or 4 hours into it. Great video.

Hard to believe eternal will blow doom 2016, Hugo himself said it on the no clip podcast.We're 2 months away. great vid btw

0:40 avoided getting the laser. Good. That weapon sucks.

13:09 this is actually a Terminator reference

it isnt the rebirth of fps its the re-rise of it. It all started with the Wolfenstein reboot.

As a great man in a random comment section on a doom video once said *doom is the only game where when all the enemy die you aren’t relieved your disappointed there wasn’t more*

"... And then they made DOOM 2016."

There are actually ten possible upgrade points per level, not five.

2:57 TF2: ,,Am I a joke to you?"

19:20 well in the crucible fight against the hell guards you do have to wait for the shield to drop on the first solo he’ll guard. I do understand your point though

The one thing that bothered me about this game were the upgrade points hidden in secret areas. If you don't find any secrets, you'll be in an objectively worse position down the road, whereas in the original games secrets were nothing but a small help, since they only contained supplies and maybe early access to one of the weapons. What this means is that some people (like me) end up feeling like they HAVE to find every secret in Doom 2016, unless they want to go around underequipped. It's not that terrible in practice, but the feeling is there.

Doom is a game I've wanted to get for a while, glad to hear its as good as it looks!

Just so people know there's a rune that gives you infinite ammo based on health and armor

The DOOM 2016 soundtrack is still on my forever playlist in my car. BFG Division is so bad for speed tickets.

Doom 2016 definitely seems to be the catalyst for this renaissance of old-school FPS games we're experiencing now. And now that they have the sequel finished, I hope they turn their sights to Quake finally. Can you imagine a new Quake with the Doom Eternal technology? I'm taking about the Quake 1 universe, maybe save Quake II for the next one. I mean, what's the deal with having "Quakecon" every year...with no Quake?

My favorite glory kill is the one where you pull the mancubuses health support plug and it blows up after

I love the minor detail how Doom guy just gives the dolls a fist bump.

I’m playing on my switch, I love it! Just killed the cyberdemon, such tense battle. I’m normally pretty busy to play games but with the switch that’s in the past, 150+ hours in breath of the wild, 50 in Mario and I’m just starting with doom

The father of FPS(ID Software) Will return with their son of the genre(Doom) In this march 20 2020

We all just gonna pretend like this guy wasn't using gameplay of World at War when talking about "boring first-person shooters"?

That was the best description of Doom 2016's opening I've ever heard. Musch respect to you my friend. :)

Hey, Mr. Triforce! I started watching you for Tak, but after seeing this, I feel enlightened, and I gotta ask: are you going to review Doom Eternal and/or the Wolfenstein soft reboots?And what’s some of your earliest gaming memories? Mine are the original PlayStation and Sega Genesis!

When I play Doom and I finally obtain enough guns I start to make my own method to kill every single type of demon in a consistent way. For example, for a Pinky use the stun of the plasma rifle and then use two shots of the super shotgun. Always work

Never thought i would like melee all the time but it fits into this game perfectly.

Using World at War's campaign as an example of a bad FPS campaign? Thats a paddlin'.

In one level, an upgrade bot teased you by staying still and when you got close it flies up to make parkour. Weeeellllllllll. There is a pile of boxes to your left here. If you go fast enough, you can grab it as it flies by jumping off the boxes. You hold on with a dark screen and when it stops... Free Upgrade! BTW does anyone know what it's called when you get uncontrollable adrenaline rushes?

Dear god we need more RU-vid content like this but you’ve got my respect a lot of people are scared to say their opinion now a days but this channel is a big no no with that I love your videos keep up the good work

Doom never gets old. When I get bored with games now I hop on Doom 2016 and get sucked into it.

you know that menu song which you called a guitar riff? that's actually a distorted chainsaw. mick said that on some presentation i don't remember well

2:52 yall be sleeping on the most innovative shooter in years...

Imagine saying Call of Duty like it's a bad thing. Call of Duty did something really nobody else had: brought first person shooting to the real world. Real guns, real locations, real battles, real movement, real aiming, real shooting, real enemies. While I have never played the original Call of Duty, COD2-WAW I'd argue are peak realshooter genre. They advanced in game storytelling and narrative in new ways, combining cutscenes with in mission events and dialogues, and also commentary on loading and reload screens. They also created a new kind of more tactical gameplay, not that COD is da r33lest it gets, but it's more realistic than running 35MPH with 8 guns on mars blowing up demons from hell by the dozen. COD also did something Doom never could: give an appreciation for real history and human experiences. It used the medium of the first person shooter game to teach about history and violence to the player.

Doom 2016 did something amazing. It was a great first person shooter game that did its job do well. Loads of fun. I look forward to doom eternal

"And then they made DOOM.." cue the rock heavy metal with gutair riffs and solo's :D

Any Nintendo nerd who can appreciate games such as Manhunt and DOOM has my respect. I ought to check out more of your content.

I certainly hope more people had Doom installed than windows 95 considering the game came out in 93

The modern games with cover and Hp regeneration aren't lazy. Well now they kind of are because of how formulaic they became, but they're actually overdesigned without thought.

What about titanfall 2 they've done pretty well

It is illegal to not use the classic weapon camera in this game. Thumbs up for calling him by his right name tho, Doomguy

The intro was as long as the Doom 2016 one. Amazing.

8:23 Mario in nutshel

My brain at 20:40 - In English please? My Brain at 21:00 - oooooh.. I LOVE IT

DOOM is the best game of 2016 I love the gore and violence the music and last but not least...the story DOOM is the great FPS game to make a comeback until I saw the gore and the music my jaw just dropped I was shocked of how good this game is. Thank you Liam for making a DOOM review I was so hyped for this Review or video

I think doom 16's bosses are really underrated, I don't play much old school shooters but I've never seen bosses that rely on careful movement and dodging like the ones in doom do, its almost like a character action game. They're so good that the reimagined gonarch and nihilanth battles in black mesa took cues from it

While I love Doom, I hate the “All new games are bad” mentality. Just because a game is popular doesn’t make it bad.

Doom 4 would never look like that without glory kills idea from Brutal Doom MOD

Solid view of the game and great use of external sources for the music comparisons. I would imagine this would sell the game pretty well on its own. Great work :)

It's cool how when doom guy is almost dead he'll get aggressive and rip everything apart and when he's out of ammo he'll take out a chainsaw. Pretty logical

The only enemies the Doom 3 spawned in those “tight hallways” are mostly imps and/or maggots. If they were gonna throw a larger enemy into the mix, you could tell by through the environment. Longer hallways = Pinky or Tentacle Commando Arena-like areas = Hell Knights or Mancubi More open areas = Cacodemons

happy 2 year anniversary of this video

Never seen a guy as fallen in love with DOOM as me. Love U man!

Nobody ever mentions that Warhammer 40K: Space Marine had many of the mechanics that DOOM 2016 later perfected. In that game there was no cover system, because Space Marines don't hide, and you got health back by executing enemies, because executing the will of the Emperor is all you need to fuel yourself. I see a lot of that game in DOOM and I find it hard to believe they didn't get at least some inspiration from it.

Welcome to the ultra violence difficulty, or as I like to call it, the "oh God why are there so many imps please help me" difficulty

There is a special place in hell for Doomguy. It's called a throne.

This and wolfenstien the new order and new colosus are some of my all time favorite shooters .

I know this is about Doom, but GOD manually picking up ammo, armor, and health is incredibly annoying in Wolfenstein The New Order. I want to shoot things, not worry about mashing the pick-up button whenever I get close to an item.

Doom 2016 even has a Rune that gives you infinite ammo! Not just all the time, but only when your armor is at 100 (and if you upgrade when its at 75) so you still have to run around and make sure to find armor upgrades to keep it there to keep your infinite ammo. But omg did it help with the final boss

I’m not a big fan of active pickups but that guitar tone is impossible without them. He nailed the music it is so damn good

Liked the video but wanted to throw in something, The five weapon upgrade points in the top right hand corner is you're combat rating, getting all five means you ripped and tore every demon in a level. The ones you get for challenges and exploration just add to those five, so you can earn a total of 10 total weapon upgrade points per level. If you kill every demon, unlock the two exploration points, and the three challenge points. Since there are five for combat, two for exploration, and three for mission challenges.

For someone who says the original doom wasn't about using cover...please, play plutonia on UV. By the way, you mentioned the soundtrack of doom2016. It was good, but it wasn't perfect. I liked original doom games' OST for their melody. You remember "Running from Evil" solo? You can't find anything like this in doom2016 music.

The first time i saw the glory kills, it reminded me of wh40k space marine, that has a system of health recovery based on executions (no healthpacks, you can only heal by stunning then executing enemies)

I AM SOO FUCKING GLAD U WENT INNNNN FOR THE SOUNDTRACKKK IS SOO FUCKING BADASSS

And in doom eternal you are a Roller coaster of death that stops when you run out of ammo in the middle of a hoard of demons

i feel like a lot of your videos come down to “and then they made doom” and god, you’re right. what a godlike move by id software

Im glad you mention halflife and halo in the same breath, love them both

Whate make this game great is that it makes the rules and then it obeys them. There in nothing like bosses are immune to glory kills which is the kind of thing so common in many other games. If something works on imps then it will also work on barons of hell, cyber demons, and any other enemy. I suppose that ties in with the thing about bosses not having annoying things like immunity phases.

I think the reason that they had a strong story is because otherwise it would just feel like a series of just doing stuff because that’s what the objective tracker says to do. Every cutscene except for the first and the last has a skip option. The story is optional. You can watch the holograms Hayden and Pierce talking, or you can ignore it and go on your merry, violent way. Another thing about Doom’s storytelling that is probably worth noting is that you are in first person for the entire game. The immersion is near absolute. The only other games that I know of that do this are half-life and Bioshock.

You didn't need to listen to Samuel Hayden... You could leave the room while he's still yapping

The Lore and the Story one of the main reasons I play Doom 2016 and Eternal, and for any video game for that matter. The story gives us reason and substance, otherwise I just dont see the point if I cant emerge myself in all the story details. Obviously just my opinion. Great video dude keep up the good work! Love your opinions and content. Even without the story its still an amazing game for sure.

You forget about Return to castle Wolfenstein in this video...

Doom and Titanfall 2 are the most important current-gen shooters by far. Doom excels in gunplay and sort of hidden storytelling, and Titanfall has the best movement in any game I’ve played. Can’t wait for Eternal, and it was great to see the Titanfall community grow because of PS Plus a few months ago.

why is that outro music giving me goosebumps

Glory kills cut the best part... THE FUCKING MUSIC! It plays a tone that would "Fit" into the music, all while the track is muted or lowered in the background.

the thumbs up in the lava is a Terminator reference

"half life 2 and the halo trilogy" and what about half life 1? that game was (in my opinion, and i understand it isn't a popular one) better than 2

This has the longest feeling intro but its worth it

The BFG song sounds like the chatter of machinegun fire mixed with the sound of demons howling in pain.

ah yes, *death and cruelty with metal sprinkled* flavored music

“Then they made doom” *murder intensifies*
