minus-squaregnuplusmatt@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46arrow-down1·7 months agoAnyone remember when Doomguy was a Space Marine?
minus-squareBjörn Tantau@swg-empire.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down2·7 months agoYeah, the gameplay looks awesome. But the story seems dumb. But then again Doom did come from a dungeons and dragons campaign. In the end the gameplay has always been the more important part of the Doom games.
minus-squarecaseyweederman@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·7 months agoYes but also: this looks cool as hell
minus-squareArtyom@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·7 months agoReboot Doomguy hasn’t been a space marine for almost a decade now. He’s always been a Titan sent by gods.
minus-squareKatana314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 months agoThere’s at least one audiolog in Eternal that suggests he is, against all odds, mostly human. I don’t know if they might be retconning that.

minus-squareBlisterexe@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 months agoHonestly that’s a way better story
minus-squaremaquise@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 months agoWell, I mean he still resembles some Space Marines I know of.
minus-squareSSTF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 months agoHe still is, but as he’s become a kind of mythical figure in gaming history he has also become so in universe.
