play01:03

[ __ ] yourself which meaningfully extends

play01:06

and builds off of the gameplay and

challenges that we love

play01:09

then extends them some more off of a

[ __ ] clip until the product that

play01:35

like me or new to modern doom games come

play01:37

with me on this amazing journey through

play01:39

play01:42

[ __ ] up lore and

play01:43

remixed mongolian throat singing for

play01:45

money is temporary

play01:46

but doom is eternal

play01:54

i would say that do maternal's gameplay

play01:55

is quite unique and not for the reasons

play01:57

that you would think

play01:58

everything in do maternal is funneled

play02:00

directly into a single robust

play02:02

multifaceted multinational and

play02:04

unilaterally combat system from which

play02:06

the entire game is built around but

play02:08

maxor i hear you thinking that's every

play02:10

game ever yes

play02:11

every good game ever if i for instance

play02:14

became 12 and booted up gta 5

play02:16

i would be able to do at least a dozen

play02:18

unfun activities

play02:19

doom's design is focused harder than the

play02:21

average persona fan on his local

play02:23

playground

play02:24

and that is special you will play the

play02:26

game in the way that is fun or you will

play02:28

lose

play02:28

so as good as 2016 was a polygon

play02:30

journalist could beat the first half and

play02:32

that's unacceptable because yes it is

play02:34

actually unfun to play games after

play02:36

having a lobotomy

play02:37

in other games i get to choose between

play02:39

things like stealth vehicles or outright

play02:41

combat yet do maternal asks the question

play02:43

why not force you to use every mechanic

play02:45

all the time

play02:46

without stopping in a world where aaa

play02:48

studios try to pander to everyone it's

play02:50

refreshing to have a game that sets out

play02:52

to do one thing

play02:53

the best and actually have developers

play02:55

who give a [ __ ] about linear design and

play02:57

gameplay

play02:57

and the main component of that gameplay

play02:59

is the arsenal because

play03:01

john doom uses every weapon throughout

play03:03

the game the first shotgun is used in

play03:04

the last level and the last level is

play03:06

used by the first shotgun when you get

play03:08

an upgrade it isn't a replacement it's a

play03:10

genuine addition to your arsenal

play03:12

every one of them has specific uses and

play03:13

yet these don't interfere at all

play03:15

they enhance how do i kill an enemy well

play03:18

shoot his hands off fire a rocket fire a

play03:20

ballista fire flame freeze

play03:21

fire fire on his freeze and throw

play03:23

shotgun shotgun brain aneurysm just as

play03:25

important as how you kill is how you

play03:27

heal and how you restore

play03:28

fortunately the aggression of this game

play03:30

rivals my dog in a kindergarten like

play03:31

real life the only way to get ahead of

play03:33

the competition is to kill them how do i

play03:35

heal when low

play03:36

kill them how do i get ammo back kill

play03:38

them with a chainsaw

play03:39

in addition most weapons in the game

play03:41

have two mods which completely change

play03:43

their behavior

play03:43

such stunning examples would be the

play03:45

microwave beam the automatic shotgun and

play03:47

the [ __ ] destroyer blade god that

play03:49

shit's cool but on top of eight weapons

play03:50

12 mods and a declining mental state we

play03:53

keep going more than any one weapon

play03:54

you'll be using your suit abilities and

play03:56

they all have individual buttons

play03:58

this is in addition to the eight that

play03:59

you use for weapons these would be

play04:01

things like zoom for fast grenade for

play04:02

death swedish grenade for life punch for

play04:05

no reason

play04:05

and a flamethrower for armor i play

play04:07

invoker and dota 2 and this [ __ ] makes

play04:08

me play my keyboard like it's a [ __ ]

play04:10

moonlight sonata i thoroughly recommend

play04:12

playing pc and never using the weapon

play04:13

wheel for maximal ritalin output and if

play04:15

you can't switch weapons fast or play on

play04:17

easy mode

play04:18

that's fine man we're all busy how about

play04:19

i give you two more buttons you thought

play04:21

i was done

play04:22

there's two ways to kill a demon and do

play04:24

maternal the fun way or the funny way

play04:26

and to maximize the funniness level we

play04:28

have the crucible which is a direct

play04:30

instantaneous kill on every enemy giant

play04:33

area boss

play04:34

dead previous area boss dead the final

play04:37

boss

play04:37

[ __ ] up now i hear you thinking josh

play04:40

that sounds pretty strong

play04:41

oh boy buckle your ass because the

play04:43

second super weapon on my extensive list

play04:45

of two things is the bfg

play04:47

which canonically stands for big [ __ ]

play04:50

gun also canonically it fires a hole

play04:52

directly into the core

play04:53

of mars you can't

play05:00

now i could kill an enemy the long way

play05:02

or i could kill him

play05:03

and his dog faster than the atf at waco

play05:06

it clears out everything you can see

play05:08

instantly i am so thankful the game

play05:09

limits how many times you can do this

play05:11

now i understand that at first this may

play05:13

seem

play05:13

complicated but that just isn't true

play05:15

because the entire game is

play05:16

effectively a tutorial for hard mode and

play05:18

because you're always learning as you

play05:20

play it never feels stale

play05:21

doom even lets you choose what stats and

play05:23

runes to upgrade i spec

play05:24

entirely into mobility and ammo making

play05:27

my character a flimsy crack addled

play05:29

spider monkey

play05:30

as a side note we should release dozens

play05:32

or possibly hundreds of macaques into

play05:34

new york city

play05:34

they can survive there why does thailand

play05:37

get to keep all of the good monkeys so

play05:38

what more is there to learn about doom

play05:40

eternal well have you ever given thought

play05:42

to the various unwashed baboons that i'm

play05:44

fighting the answer

play05:45

may shock you those are the others as

play05:48

you may have guessed

play05:49

there are at least three perhaps four

play05:51

demons in the game which is a lot for

play05:53

someone who is a small

play05:54

blonde anime lolly such as myself but

play05:56

it's the variety of the demons that make

play05:58

the game interesting demons can fly they

play06:00

can roll around like hedgehogs contract

play06:02

obesity and be bastards who is sandy

play06:05

lope

play06:05

who is tsushima amy rose i didn't know

play06:08

she could stand

play06:09

the point of the entire game therefore

play06:11

is to balance targets switch weapons and

play06:13

scream internally as you repeatedly fail

play06:15

to be cool just like high school what

play06:16

i'm getting at is every game that has

play06:18

completely different behavior and goals

play06:19

from one another the doom hunter rolls

play06:21

around in a comically small

play06:23

tank the zombies like us exist to die

play06:25

and the marauder produces controversy he

play06:28

does a lot of damage blocks your attacks

play06:30

fights you at wild speeds and can only

play06:32

be attacked after blatantly signaling so

play06:34

i personally have no issue with him as i

play06:36

find the challenge fun and engaging and

play06:38

if you don't i'm not saying you're wrong

play06:39

i'm saying you're bad i'm not getting

play06:41

into the details for each one

play06:42

since that's not funny but don't worry

play06:44

there are 27 of them

play06:46

without dlc and if you're wondering why

play06:48

i'm fighting the entire cast of dante's

play06:50

inferno you're actually

play06:51

the minority this game tries at every

play06:53

moment to make exposition

play06:54

collectible why is there just a [ __ ]

play06:56

big spear in the planet and why is

play06:58

heaven comprised entirely of moth people

play07:01

you cannot stop the procession

play07:05

it feels like one guy wrote the events

play07:06

of the game and another guy invented lsd

play07:09

just to write the backstory so i'm going

play07:11

to combine both of them into a single

play07:12

accurate interpretation of the doom lore

play07:15

if i say something

play07:16

objectionable just pretend that it's

play07:17

right

play07:24

one brazilian years ago there was a guy

play07:26

named the dad who was effectively god

play07:28

and he made moths in lamp heaven called

play07:30

the makers

play07:31

every ten thousand years all moths

play07:33

combine their collective consciousness

play07:34

into one

play07:35

giga moth called the con maker who is

play07:37

the moth pope so the moths rule over the

play07:39

galaxy sort of until earth happens and

play07:41

then we start [ __ ] everything up

play07:42

the moth pope finds john doom after a

play07:44

spree of murders and he explains to her

play07:46

that yes

play07:47

hell exists it's weird that humans knew

play07:49

about hell before god

play07:50

anyways the moth pope after finding out

play07:52

that hell is real very reasonably

play07:54

decides to sacrifice a planet to it see

play07:56

it turns out that god literally pieced

play07:58

the [ __ ] out like 10 million years ago

play08:00

and let them off do whatever they wanted

play08:01

so now the con maker cannot be replaced

play08:03

and cannot die so she sort of goes

play08:05

insane from the constant immortality now

play08:07

the plan is to get some of that sweet

play08:08

hell energy by repeatedly sacrificing

play08:10

entire planets to the dark lord in

play08:12

exchange for it meanwhile a sentient

play08:14

robot named samuel hayden is very busy

play08:16

on mars

play08:17

earth has this problem called climate

play08:18

change and we need to find a new energy

play08:20

source so instead of something hard and

play08:22

difficult like

play08:23

solar power samuel hayden is like what

play08:25

if we extract this cool

play08:26

blue energy from hell also it's on mars

play08:31

earth does this until hell begins

play08:32

breaking into mars and john doom stops

play08:34

them which is the plot of doom 2016.

play08:36

this makes samuel hayden mad because

play08:38

he's funded by the koch brothers and

play08:39

really doesn't want to build a windmill

play08:41

so instead of destroying the demonic

play08:43

crucible he just brings it back to earth

play08:44

and catapults john doom into the

play08:46

backstory planet if you think that

play08:47

sounds unreasonable just remember that

play08:49

we considered blotting out the sun

play08:50

before building a [ __ ] solar panel

play08:57

unsurprisingly demons invade to recycle

play09:00

earth into blue energy for the moth pope

play09:01

so john doom has to fight both catholics

play09:04

and hell and as you go through the game

play09:06

you might notice that it just brings up

play09:07

random [ __ ] at will

play09:08

like oh sorry the soul factory is being

play09:10

held there by two gigantic titans and

play09:12

it's like

play09:13

okay i guess attack on titan is real now

play09:15

doomslayer you'll need this knife to

play09:17

kill my son oh [ __ ] what do you do

play09:21

the plot of the main game to understate

play09:23

it is psychotic

play09:24

and acts as an increasing checklist of

play09:26

galactically convoluted tasks just in

play09:28

this one game

play09:29

john doom finds an ancient city like

play09:31

three times goes to the north pole to

play09:33

kill santa

play09:34

fights croatia does a little trolling

play09:36

does a little [ __ ] fighting

play09:37

invades heaven and permanently kills god

play09:40

but we'll get back to that doom 2016

play09:42

took place on mars but this game has you

play09:44

slung around the universe on a [ __ ]

play09:46

bungee cord so i understand completely

play09:48

when people say they don't play doom

play09:49

eternal for the plot they're just wrong

play09:51

i play doom eternal for the plot and

play09:54

that might sound strange to you but

play09:55

eternal's plot is

play09:56

pure insanity and it does everything

play09:58

that it needs to we are painfully aware

play10:00

that the plot exists as a contrivance

play10:02

because the environmental designer went

play10:04

[ __ ] ballistic i just don't care i

play10:05

played every single level gleefully

play10:07

wondering

play10:08

oh boy what stupid [ __ ] is next i cannot

play10:10

[ __ ] wait

play10:11

so play the game for the plot it is

play10:13

integral to the experience of doom

play10:15

eternal

play10:16

open max or there's a plot hole how did

play10:17

the doom slayer get the first

play10:19

everything i've said so far except some

play10:21

of it applies in full partially to the

play10:23

base game but there's

play10:24

40 dollar reduce of dlc where the

play10:26

gameplay is faster the challenge harder

play10:28

and the plot

play10:29

somehow even [ __ ] worse in all the

play10:31

right departments 2016 was a walk

play10:33

eternal is usain bolt and the ancient

play10:35

gods is [ __ ] venezuelan inflation you

play10:37

thought it was over when john doom beat

play10:39

the demons and destroyed all of heaven

play10:40

but you were wrong

play10:41

that's just the beginning and with both

play10:43

parts of the dlc now fully out my

play10:45

recommendation cannot be understated

play10:47

let's get into why and more importantly

play10:49

what

play10:55

this section of the video is going to be

play10:57

different far more structural and

play10:58

aligned with the plot of the dlc

play11:00

because the gameplay isn't what's new

play11:01

about the product it's the challenge and

play11:03

the story i originally wrote an entire

play11:05

script for this and then trashed it

play11:06

because it doesn't truly communicate how

play11:08

this dlc drove me to insanity and i hard

play11:10

cope by simping for 2d women i will tell

play11:12

you if there's a very big gameplay

play11:14

change but the point of the dlc is more

play11:15

of what's amazing if you like doom a

play11:17

turtle you will like the dlc

play11:19

period okay so samuel hayden you might

play11:21

know him for his various appearances on

play11:22

political youtube debates advocating for

play11:24

carbon positivity it turns out that he's

play11:27

not a robot he's a [ __ ] angel also

play11:29

john dooms alexa is god that's not a

play11:31

joke or exaggeration his name is vega

play11:33

and he is the physical remnant of god's

play11:35

consciousness in ai form so samuel now a

play11:38

[ __ ] divine being wants you to revive

play11:40

him since both god and satan are trapped

play11:42

in volleyballs

play11:43

at this point the video can't count as

play11:45

spoilers because it makes no [ __ ]

play11:47

sense

play11:47

the first dlc is essentially trolling

play11:49

because you kill god

play11:50

why well obviously to revive satan

play11:53

exclusively so you can fight him what

play11:55

could go

play11:55

wrong a particular note here on the

play11:57

gameplay side is the final boss who is

play11:59

samuel hayden because holy [ __ ] this

play12:01

fight is hard also the premise is

play12:03

ridiculous and my enjoyment of the game

play12:05

is hurt by neither every aspect of this

play12:07

is speedy

play12:07

fun and everything else i've already

play12:09

said about the game in general and when

play12:11

you finally beat samuel and revive the

play12:12

dark lord it

play12:13

turns out he's you yeah the only thing

play12:17

in the world that could possibly kill

play12:19

john doom

play12:22

himself

play12:33

so now the not you you decides to go to

play12:36

hell where we all belong and the second

play12:37

dlc is just chasing him this is of

play12:39

course where the testosterone moves into

play12:41

critical levels

play12:42

how does one get to the capital city of

play12:44

hell well that's a great question first

play12:46

of all go to the planet of argentineur

play12:48

light the bat signal learn how to train

play12:50

your dragon okay go into the giant spear

play12:52

that pierces the entire planet for some

play12:54

reason get the key to the gate

play12:56

now go back to earth traverse the last

play12:58

of us two and find the gate of diluma

play13:00

but before i get to the final showdown

play13:02

with crash bandicoot twinsanity there's

play13:04

some cool gameplay i want to talk

play13:06

about you have a [ __ ] hammer in this

play13:07

dlc primarily used to defy the laws of

play13:09

gravity but secondarily gives you

play13:11

everything in the game

play13:12

health no problem ammo absolutely my

play13:15

deepest darkest urges

play13:16

yes as i used this i became more

play13:18

obsessed with hammers than bob the

play13:19

[ __ ] builder and there's plenty of

play13:21

demons to use it on since the dlc has a

play13:23

shitload of reskins for instance the

play13:25

spirit is a congealed amphetamine mass

play13:27

that makes every infested target three

play13:29

times faster microsoft pinball who is

play13:31

fun to fight i promise

play13:32

and the blood makers they are my

play13:35

original

play13:36

oc do not steal it so now that we've

play13:38

reached cleveland it's time for the dlc

play13:40

to gain

play13:41

style this is the culmination of all of

play13:43

our work the final battle against satan

play13:46

himself

play13:46

and holy [ __ ] you can feel it when the

play13:48

sentinel army shows up and everyone's

play13:50

ready to kick ass you just can't help

play13:51

but feel like your dick is being tickled

play13:53

cleveland lives up to the hype too

play13:55

for once because it's a non-stop battle

play13:56

of epic proportions right up until the

play13:58

final boss

play13:59

this is a universe which implicitly

play14:01

acknowledges your god-like power by

play14:02

making the only credible threat to you

play14:04

your identical twin with red eyes in a

play14:07

gun though that is called [ __ ]

play14:08

gameplay and it's a beautiful send-off

play14:10

right up until the man himself who

play14:12

awkwardly waddles around the arena like

play14:13

a penguin but that's fine the fight is

play14:15

still cool

play14:18

wow you know it's so sad that steve jobs

play14:20

died with pigma who the hell is steve

play14:23

jobs got him

play14:27

now before we defenestrate there's a few

play14:29

details i want to talk about that truly

play14:31

complete this game make it a real 10 out

play14:33

of good

play14:33

firstly i would classify the music of

play14:35

this game as metal without guitars and i

play14:37

[ __ ] dig it

play14:38

so much how do you make metal without a

play14:40

guitar well you sample mongolian throat

play14:42

singing and your lawnmower

play14:45

it just sounds so good normally music

play14:48

isn't very important but

play14:49

it's so good that it becomes important

play14:51

and the role it plays in setting your

play14:52

mood is vital also the main composer

play14:54

mick gordon like v

play14:56

watches virtual youtubers every waking

play14:58

second of his day great minds think

play15:00

alike

play15:00

in fact most of the music in this video

play15:02

is just do maternal soundtrack guess

play15:04

you'll have to re-watch it over and over

play15:06

again to really listen

play15:13

finally this game looks really good not

play15:15

in the oh wow look at all these

play15:16

particles i'm stroking out way

play15:18

it's more like how does literally anyone

play15:20

have time to model all of the geometry

play15:22

in the game it is unreal

play15:23

it is so downright inspired that it

play15:25

makes you feel bad while playing it doom

play15:26

eternal is such a fast and

play15:28

pulse-pounding game that it's like

play15:29

sprinting through the [ __ ] lube

play15:30

how am i supposed to appreciate the mona

play15:32

lisa when it looks like this should you

play15:34

buy the game yes

play15:35

i am very biased if speed and action is

play15:37

what you crave and you want to induce

play15:38

cardiac arrest early

play15:40

this is your game i would like to thank

play15:41

the demonic brotherhood funding this

play15:43

channel in exchange for their souls

play15:44

if you would like to engage in blood

play15:46

sacrifice on my behalf

play15:48

you can head to my patreon to learn more

play15:50

thank you all for watching and of course

play15:51

run they're coming

play16:12

you
