Anyone remember when Doomguy was a Space Marine?
Yeah, 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.
Yes but also: this looks cool as hell
Reboot Doomguy hasn't been a space marine for almost a decade now. He's always been a Titan sent by gods.
There’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.
That explains it. I grew up with the old stuff where he was just angry
Honestly that's a way better story
Well, I mean he still resembles some Space Marines I know of.
He still is, but as he's become a kind of mythical figure in gaming history he has also become so in universe.
