Ultimate Doom | The Completionist 

Ah blaming games for violence. Every parent's excuse instead of admitting being an absent crappy parent

Not aged that well? What? Doom aged amazingly.

Remember when something’s coolness was determined if it could run DooM?

When I was a kid my siblings always said it was aliens, I didn't learn the monsters in Doom were demons until I was in my twenties and started going online. I particularly always thought the Cacodemon was just a floating raspberry.

DOOM's gameplay is timeless. Along with its sequel, it's arguably the greatest FPS of all time. Name another FPS, or any game for that matter, that has continued to have a dedicated and still-thriving mod scene for over *two decades*. Shooting demons at 90 mph, finding secrets, and exploring non-linear levels will always be more fun and exciting than shooting samey hit scanning enemies from behind cover, all the while being dragged through linear levels with endless set pieces. DOOM4 proves this perfectly. By taking that same gameplay core, tweaking it for modern audiences, and slapping some shiny graphics on it, they made the most compelling FPS game in over a decade.

i am part of the current generation and i can safely say that this game holds up as much more of a fun experience than many of the other games in this style so if you are part of this generation and you are worried about it not holding up with its outdated graphics and gameplay, dont be! It is a blast to play and an experience not to be missed.

Apparently Beard Mode failed to activate...must be a glitch. Gonna need to wait for them to patch this

Doom "doesn't hold up today" ?? I guess a whole MODDING COMMUNITY active for 20+ YEARS disagrees with you.

After playing DOOM 4, me and my bro started having a nostalgic journey back to DOOM and DOOM 2 by playing it with the Brutal DOOM mod. What a blast we're having.

Guys who took over the show? Cause there's some weird non-beardy guy calling himself Jirard out there

I'm an amateur, solo game dev (though, I never complete anything) and this video really reminded me what it truly means to make games. Doom is fun because you shoot things in the face. That's pretty much it. Sure, there's a really impressive technical engine making everything happen and the art is really nice, but you shoot things in the face. I've been struggling so hard to come up with good art or good music or even good UI elements and it seems like I forgot the most important part to get right; gameplay. I've read so many articles of "what not to do with Game Maker" and other such things that are considered a bad personal or professional practice and they've just made me so scared to do absolutely anything that someone might not like. I was making games that I wanted other people to like, not games that I would like to play. How fitting that such an inspirational and unique game from my childhood would be the catalyst of such a revelation. Thank you, Jirard.

Therapist:Beardless Completionist doesn't exist he can't hurt you Beardless Completionist:

23 years later and DOOM still kicks ass. And it ages very well if you mod it. Especially with Brutal Doom!

really could've used a shout out to the modding community which has kept classic doom relevant since it's release and the reason it's still widely played today.

Doom was such a complex and sizeable program in it's early days it was actually referred to as "Doom Operating System." No joke.

Future: Check. Space Marine: Check Demons: Check Chainsaw: Check Are you sure this isn't Warhammer 40k?

"Low-poly, 3-D environments". I think you mean no-poly, 2.5D environments.

Think about it, OG Doom's still better than most games, even for todays standards. And damn, saying Doom didn't age well is a damn false statement, it holds up beautifully. But holy damn screw that "Not so Bad" trophy.

I grew up playing games like DOOM, Heretic, Hexen & Duke Nukem 3D, I started young, 9 or 10, not five like you but still pretty young. I loved them, played them all day on my brothers PC, he still had DOS installed at the time, and he modified his DOS to display the level completion screen from Inferno, and I thought it was cool as hell! And because of that game, I developed the twitch reflexes I have today, remember, back then you didn't use a mouse to play DOOM, you used the arrow keys to move, CTRL to shoot and Space to open doors, so it was even more impressive when you could crowd control a room full of demons with a shotgun while dodging fireballs like a ballerina! I really miss those days, I even remember the day I beat chapter 3 of DOOM, it was a warm summer day, about 5-6 pm, the sun was starting to set, and my parents are cooking a barbecue outside the widow of my brothers room, that memory will be with me until I die, and if I were a wizard from Harry Potter it would be my Patronus, probably a Cacodemon.

You can also thank Doom for Steam and Valve, apparently Gabe decided to leave Microsoft and make games because of Doom's popularity. He also worked on the Windows 95 port.

Almost every single DOOM video mentions the windows 95 fact as well as the John Carmac story quote.

You completed Thy Flesh Consumed on Nightmare? Hot damn, sir, you've earned my respect.

Fun fact: A lot of the songs in Doom are midi versions of popular heavy metal tracks from the time. Bands like Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer are all represented!

Dude, they were supposed to be installed by 1.4MB disks! It aged super well and the community is one of the most actives today

65% JIRARD SHAVED?! 35%This didn't show up in my sub box!!

I love these games and it's funny how they carry the same stereotype that the classic Sonic games do. Everyone for some reason remembers it being a non-stop breakless action shoot 'em up, just like for some reason people remember Sonic being a non-stop speedy pinball sidescroller and neither are true. DOOM's SORTA like that but every game after is much more methodical and actually requires you to think about how best to deal with those 2 Revenants sniping you while you chip away the Imps. Unless you use cheap save states.

I watched my dad play Doom when I was a wee lad since it came out around the time I was born. I got my start with Quake and Unreal though. Those were the days.

Well I live in Hell. Hell, Michigan of course.

Doom (1993): *your trapped in a room with demons* Doom (2016): *the demons are trapped in a room with you.*

I like how he complained about the levels looking so much alike when I can practically recognize each part of each level that he shows.

dogs cant looks up? *looks down at dog *dog looks up CONFIRMED

0:33 AH! NUUUU! *Vomits* No beard! NO BEARD! *Vomits.* Beardman is Beardlessman!!!

When I was a kid and I wasn't supposed to be playing FPS games my favorites were Unreal Tournament '99 and Halo Combat Evolved, both on PC

this didnt show up in my subscriptions. this annoys me so much

"I gonna sing the doom song now" 🎵DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM, DOOM🎵

"being able to look up and down? what you thought that you were playing?" **laughs in doom source ports**

OH GAWD HIS FACE IT FEELS... NAKED!!!

Jirard should do a video on a Fire Emblem game. I don't care which one. I just want to see some FE love. :)

I cant help but to almost burst into tears when I hear that first soundtrack reminds me of when I used to play this with my dad (he died last year)

Time Splitters 2 was my favourite fps as a kid, multiplayer was so much fun and the campaign was great too!

The music in the Playstation Doom is amazingly good. It really makes you feel uncomfortable at just the right times. The N64 Doom has the same composer and it is equally moody.

I was born in 2004, so I had no idea of how good doom is, until today, after I saw this video I bought the original doom and played it, and the only thing I can say about it is that IS FKNG AWESOME. This game has aged incredibly well, I liked it much more than other games that I have played that are relatively new

With the games Jirard has completed over the years, he's already gone to hell and back.

jerrard is one of the only people I know who looks good both with and without a beard

Dad brought home a PS2 back in '04 or '05, and I was 6. One of the games where Doom. I was scared shitless when i'd sneak into his room and play it while he was sleeping. Haven't played it since then lmao

The Doom argument is not up in the air. There is no correlation between video game violence and real-world violence. Study after study after study has found no link.

I have to disagree with that first quote from Jirard. How "DOOM isn't as scary because it's limited by it's graphics." I'm seventeen, and I first played Doom a while ago. And I was both entertained and feeling like a total badass, and also becoming terrified when the music became eerie and when demons just jumped at me from secret doors and what not.

DooM my favorite game of all time❤️

took me 5 mins to realize this is on the original doom and not 2016 lmfao

Doom hasn't aged well, you say??? Well then, Jirard... we, the Internet, challenge you to complete... BRUTAL DOOM!!!

The completionist: Fine go to hell Me: I have, and it was fun! Thanks for the recommendation.

I think his beard took the 'go to hell' line too seriously

Created so many years ago, yet Doom allows you to do so many things that are impossible in modern shooters... like open doors on your own! This probably seems like magic to the average CoD player :P

Ultimate doom is not the original. Ultimate Doom is a "Re-release" or expansion with a new episode. Should also note, it came after Doom 2

Oh yeah! I think I've heard of this video game before.

took me the entire video to realize he shaved

I lost it when you said Doom hits you with music like someone is pouring their soul into a Casio keyboard. 9:19

Actually fun fact, somewhere, I forgot where, but supposedly Doomguy has a name. Being Taggart Blazkowics. Man, I wonder how far in the future Taggart is from BJ.

4:06 while that “go to hell” bit was going on I realized there were 666 dislikes on the video.

Ah, the old completionist. When he actually showed endings to videogames. Man I loved those days.

THE BEARD IS ALL GONE

Oh my god, the GungHo Al reference just made my day =)

I just wanted to say, I’m newer to your channel and have seen it here and there in the past but recently really got into it. I love the format! It gives me a terrific breakdown of the entirety of a game and also the way you use your game footage along with commentary is nice I hate when you have to much one way or the other, especially when it’s just whoever does the video simply centered in frame talking for the majority. But I know you guys basically just get negative feedback from RU-vid commenters (not all(obviously I’m one lol)) so I wanted to say I appreciate the channel. It’s hard to find good RU-vid channels that aren’t just clickbait or trying to run the clock up and especially since I’m a huge video game fanatic, I thank you for your work and am stoked to know people like you (you seem like a good guy) can make a living doing what you love and actually do solid work! In two day’s I’ll have my set up and start making videos, I’ve made some in the past but have yet to share due to thinking nothings good enough when I realized it never will be and you either just start or you don’t but that’s neither here nor there and making this comment far to long lol just keep killing it brotha!

Doom, so scary it frightened Jirad's beard off...

One of the older Gauntlet games would make for a good Completionist video. Like Gauntlet Legends or Dark Legacy.

Jirard, for dedicating completing video games for everyone, you have my thanks and my trust.

I like to think Doom Guy found his bunny in hell. The one demon he doesn't kill, cause it's a nice, but still hellish jackalope.

Wait what happened to the Beard???? What did I miss Modern Major General Beardman???

I think my favorite FPS as a kid was Halo: Combat Evolved. My cousin had it, and we would play it pretty often, trying to complete the story and have a ton of fun in the process. And then, when we got tired of playing the story over and over, we played Multiplayer. And every now and then my younger brother would join and we'd sit there, the three of us, trading controllers each time somebody died (We only had two controllers.) It was a lot of fun, I have to say. Going back and playing it is still a nice experience for me. It hasn't aged badly, I can say that for sure.

Valve will not hide the fact that Half Life was completely inspired by Doom.

THE BEARD THE BEARD IS GONE AND I AM LOST I AM LOST THERE IS NO LONGER HOPE

Doom is like an over the top death metal album cover you can play and I love every second of it

Why does everyone shit on the Doom movie? I fucking love that movie!

Where... the beard...... WHY!?

The Spider Mastermind does NOT take 2 BFG shots to kill. It depends on range, direct hit and if the beams hit it. You can actually 1 shot it by firing point blank and getting a direct hit with the projectile and all/most beams! But that's almost impossible. The Saturn version of it is super easy. Beat E3M7 with max/a lot of bullets for the chain gun and then just hold fire til, it dies or you run out of ammo. The Saturn version has all knock back on enemies half a second longer.

Do you want to know what most of this comment section is, yes there will be times where people actually legitimately answer his question of the day, but mostly the comments will consist of, "doom is not 3-D! You've been lied to!" It's kind of getting annoying. I think everybody knows this already. So, stop just spreading that around the comment section! Please for the love of God people! We don't fucking care anymore! We all know it's not 3-D! Get fucking over it! "

Favourite FPS as a child? You just played it! I remember being really freaked out the first time I encountered a spider mastermind, I had to call an uncle to kill it anytime I heard them moving around in the distance. Had plenty of fun braving through it though; it definitely shaped my love for gaming, even after all these years I still remember IDDQD lol

Being born in 1998 I'm a bit of a youngun, but when I was 8 I played through the entirety of Halo 3, and a few years later my brother-in-law and I played through about half of the original Doom in multiplayer on the Xbox 360 arcade. Good times. Also Doom 2016 has become one of my favorite games of all fuckin time. Absolute carnage!

“Dogs can’t look up” is from Shaun of the dead” not gung-ho al.

please tell me your going to do DOOM II & 3

I'm currently playing through Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom. Every once in a while in a dark corridor hearing the roars of demons, makes my hair stand on end.

You should do Doom 2 or Final Doom.

Doom is still sooooooooo badass!

Doom is always where it's at and it's by fast the og fps, son. Wolfenstein maybe the corner stone of the genre but Doom is the og because it picked up the ball and kept running. I'm getting the switch version soon because it's the only fps that truly deserves to exist.

Where did that lie come from that Dogs cant look up? I had Dogs my entire life and of course they can. Seriously wtf?

How did he not mention the infamous Cyber Demon?! Or was the the sequel? It's been so long since i played this. Also, I have a small dog, and he can totally look up.

My parents certainly knew I was playing Doom cause my dad got me into it. He's used to tell stories of his workplace lunchtime deathmatches with his colleagues and the single player. Finally got Doom at home for the 32x when I was about 9. One of my favourite games ever.

you beat it on nightmare? fuck dude. that shits on my bucket list

AHHHHHHHH BEARDMAN SHAVED WTF

The completionist: 10:20 doom eternal: well actually…

Do a completionist for DOOM 2016 man please!

babyface beardman?!?!?!?!?!

my 4 go to fps series is halo, doom, unreal tournament and quake. Halo was my very first fps game and the one that sticks to me the most when it comes to importance in my early gaming life

anyone else sad that body's don't stay anymore in doom 2016? it just feels like somethings messing whenever i play doom. :(

what are your thoughts on brutal doom? have you tried it? its classic doom cranked up to 11 on steroids!!!! i friggin love it!

My favorite FPS when I was 5 or 6 was Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold. It came out the same month that Doom did, which is why you've never heard of it. But man did the world miss out on something great!

wait has he beat binding of isaac rebirth/afterbirth? if not it seems like the perfect game for this show

Big. Friendly. Giant.

*Plays DOOM on dos HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE PUT UP WITH THESE CONTROLS!? *Plays Chocolate DOOM instead

Actually, you know what you should review on the 27th of May? Either American McGee's Alice, or Alice Madness Returns. It would be on the Alice Through the Looking Glass comes out.
