Transcripts
doom eternal is a game with so much
testosterone dripping from its orifices
that it caused me to create a sun via
mitosis
in this adventure you play as john doom
a man stricken with irrationally severe
autism who does not consider or think
through his actions and effects on other
people and
in his quest to save mankind kills god
god god and
satan god god who is also himself if
this
in-depth and engaging hardcore male
gameplay sounds appealing then i've got
the game for you
this game is of course the sequel to the
critically acclaimed doom 2016 with a
few key differences
all right then buddy i'm going to
[ __ ] yourself which meaningfully extends
and builds off of the gameplay and
challenges that we love
then extends them some more off of a
[ __ ] clip until the product that
emerges out the other side resembles
crack concentrate
if you're watching this i'm assuming
you've probably played the game since i
don't actually want to help people buy
things
i'm here to entertain people and if
you're clamoring for entertainment and
haven't purchased this game yet
do yourself a favor there's enough male
hormones here to transition someone and
i can
guarantee you results my fellow sigma
males so whether you're a psychopath
like me or new to modern doom games come
with me on this amazing journey through
twitch gameplay
beautiful environments nonsensically
[ __ ] up lore and
remixed mongolian throat singing for
money is temporary
but doom is eternal
i would say that do maternal's gameplay
is quite unique and not for the reasons
that you would think
everything in do maternal is funneled
directly into a single robust
multifaceted multinational and
unilaterally combat system from which
the entire game is built around but
maxor i hear you thinking that's every
game ever yes
every good game ever if i for instance
became 12 and booted up gta 5
i would be able to do at least a dozen
unfun activities
doom's design is focused harder than the
average persona fan on his local
playground
and that is special you will play the
game in the way that is fun or you will
lose
so as good as 2016 was a polygon
journalist could beat the first half and
that's unacceptable because yes it is
actually unfun to play games after
having a lobotomy
in other games i get to choose between
things like stealth vehicles or outright
combat yet do maternal asks the question
why not force you to use every mechanic
all the time
without stopping in a world where aaa
studios try to pander to everyone it's
refreshing to have a game that sets out
to do one thing
the best and actually have developers
who give a [ __ ] about linear design and
gameplay
and the main component of that gameplay
is the arsenal because
john doom uses every weapon throughout
the game the first shotgun is used in
the last level and the last level is
used by the first shotgun when you get
an upgrade it isn't a replacement it's a
genuine addition to your arsenal
every one of them has specific uses and
yet these don't interfere at all
they enhance how do i kill an enemy well
shoot his hands off fire a rocket fire a
ballista fire flame freeze
fire fire on his freeze and throw
shotgun shotgun brain aneurysm just as
important as how you kill is how you
heal and how you restore
fortunately the aggression of this game
rivals my dog in a kindergarten like
real life the only way to get ahead of
the competition is to kill them how do i
heal when low
kill them how do i get ammo back kill
them with a chainsaw
in addition most weapons in the game
have two mods which completely change
their behavior
such stunning examples would be the
microwave beam the automatic shotgun and
the [ __ ] destroyer blade god that
shit's cool but on top of eight weapons
12 mods and a declining mental state we
keep going more than any one weapon
you'll be using your suit abilities and
they all have individual buttons
this is in addition to the eight that
you use for weapons these would be
things like zoom for fast grenade for
death swedish grenade for life punch for
no reason
and a flamethrower for armor i play
invoker and dota 2 and this [ __ ] makes
me play my keyboard like it's a [ __ ]
moonlight sonata i thoroughly recommend
playing pc and never using the weapon
wheel for maximal ritalin output and if
you can't switch weapons fast or play on
easy mode
that's fine man we're all busy how about
i give you two more buttons you thought
i was done
there's two ways to kill a demon and do
maternal the fun way or the funny way
and to maximize the funniness level we
have the crucible which is a direct
instantaneous kill on every enemy giant
area boss
dead previous area boss dead the final
boss
[ __ ] up now i hear you thinking josh
that sounds pretty strong
oh boy buckle your ass because the
second super weapon on my extensive list
of two things is the bfg
which canonically stands for big [ __ ]
gun also canonically it fires a hole
directly into the core
of mars you can't
now i could kill an enemy the long way
or i could kill him
and his dog faster than the atf at waco
it clears out everything you can see
instantly i am so thankful the game
limits how many times you can do this
now i understand that at first this may
seem
complicated but that just isn't true
because the entire game is
effectively a tutorial for hard mode and
because you're always learning as you
play it never feels stale
doom even lets you choose what stats and
runes to upgrade i spec
entirely into mobility and ammo making
my character a flimsy crack addled
spider monkey
as a side note we should release dozens
or possibly hundreds of macaques into
new york city
they can survive there why does thailand
get to keep all of the good monkeys so
what more is there to learn about doom
eternal well have you ever given thought
to the various unwashed baboons that i'm
fighting the answer
may shock you those are the others as
you may have guessed
there are at least three perhaps four
demons in the game which is a lot for
someone who is a small
blonde anime lolly such as myself but
it's the variety of the demons that make
the game interesting demons can fly they
can roll around like hedgehogs contract
obesity and be bastards who is sandy
lope
who is tsushima amy rose i didn't know
she could stand
the point of the entire game therefore
is to balance targets switch weapons and
scream internally as you repeatedly fail
to be cool just like high school what
i'm getting at is every game that has
completely different behavior and goals
from one another the doom hunter rolls
around in a comically small
tank the zombies like us exist to die
and the marauder produces controversy he
does a lot of damage blocks your attacks
fights you at wild speeds and can only
be attacked after blatantly signaling so
i personally have no issue with him as i
find the challenge fun and engaging and
if you don't i'm not saying you're wrong
i'm saying you're bad i'm not getting
into the details for each one
since that's not funny but don't worry
there are 27 of them
without dlc and if you're wondering why
i'm fighting the entire cast of dante's
inferno you're actually
the minority this game tries at every
moment to make exposition
collectible why is there just a [ __ ]
big spear in the planet and why is
heaven comprised entirely of moth people
you cannot stop the procession
it feels like one guy wrote the events
of the game and another guy invented lsd
just to write the backstory so i'm going
to combine both of them into a single
accurate interpretation of the doom lore
if i say something
objectionable just pretend that it's
right
one brazilian years ago there was a guy
named the dad who was effectively god
and he made moths in lamp heaven called
the makers
every ten thousand years all moths
combine their collective consciousness
into one
giga moth called the con maker who is
the moth pope so the moths rule over the
galaxy sort of until earth happens and
then we start [ __ ] everything up
the moth pope finds john doom after a
spree of murders and he explains to her
that yes
hell exists it's weird that humans knew
about hell before god
anyways the moth pope after finding out
that hell is real very reasonably
decides to sacrifice a planet to it see
it turns out that god literally pieced
the [ __ ] out like 10 million years ago
and let them off do whatever they wanted
so now the con maker cannot be replaced
and cannot die so she sort of goes
insane from the constant immortality now
the plan is to get some of that sweet
hell energy by repeatedly sacrificing
entire planets to the dark lord in
exchange for it meanwhile a sentient
robot named samuel hayden is very busy
on mars
earth has this problem called climate
change and we need to find a new energy
source so instead of something hard and
difficult like
solar power samuel hayden is like what
if we extract this cool
blue energy from hell also it's on mars
earth does this until hell begins
breaking into mars and john doom stops
them which is the plot of doom 2016.
this makes samuel hayden mad because
he's funded by the koch brothers and
really doesn't want to build a windmill
so instead of destroying the demonic
crucible he just brings it back to earth
and catapults john doom into the
backstory planet if you think that
sounds unreasonable just remember that
we considered blotting out the sun
before building a [ __ ] solar panel
unsurprisingly demons invade to recycle
earth into blue energy for the moth pope
so john doom has to fight both catholics
and hell and as you go through the game
you might notice that it just brings up
random [ __ ] at will
like oh sorry the soul factory is being
held there by two gigantic titans and
it's like
okay i guess attack on titan is real now
doomslayer you'll need this knife to
kill my son oh [ __ ] what do you do
the plot of the main game to understate
it is psychotic
and acts as an increasing checklist of
galactically convoluted tasks just in
this one game
john doom finds an ancient city like
three times goes to the north pole to
kill santa
fights croatia does a little trolling
does a little [ __ ] fighting
invades heaven and permanently kills god
but we'll get back to that doom 2016
took place on mars but this game has you
slung around the universe on a [ __ ]
bungee cord so i understand completely
when people say they don't play doom
eternal for the plot they're just wrong
i play doom eternal for the plot and
that might sound strange to you but
eternal's plot is
pure insanity and it does everything
that it needs to we are painfully aware
that the plot exists as a contrivance
because the environmental designer went
[ __ ] ballistic i just don't care i
played every single level gleefully
wondering
oh boy what stupid [ __ ] is next i cannot
[ __ ] wait
so play the game for the plot it is
integral to the experience of doom
eternal
open max or there's a plot hole how did
the doom slayer get the first
everything i've said so far except some
of it applies in full partially to the
base game but there's
40 dollar reduce of dlc where the
gameplay is faster the challenge harder
and the plot
somehow even [ __ ] worse in all the
right departments 2016 was a walk
eternal is usain bolt and the ancient
gods is [ __ ] venezuelan inflation you
thought it was over when john doom beat
the demons and destroyed all of heaven
but you were wrong
that's just the beginning and with both
parts of the dlc now fully out my
recommendation cannot be understated
let's get into why and more importantly
what
this section of the video is going to be
different far more structural and
aligned with the plot of the dlc
because the gameplay isn't what's new
about the product it's the challenge and
the story i originally wrote an entire
script for this and then trashed it
because it doesn't truly communicate how
this dlc drove me to insanity and i hard
cope by simping for 2d women i will tell
you if there's a very big gameplay
change but the point of the dlc is more
of what's amazing if you like doom a
turtle you will like the dlc
period okay so samuel hayden you might
know him for his various appearances on
political youtube debates advocating for
carbon positivity it turns out that he's
not a robot he's a [ __ ] angel also
john dooms alexa is god that's not a
joke or exaggeration his name is vega
and he is the physical remnant of god's
consciousness in ai form so samuel now a
[ __ ] divine being wants you to revive
him since both god and satan are trapped
in volleyballs
at this point the video can't count as
spoilers because it makes no [ __ ]
sense
the first dlc is essentially trolling
because you kill god
why well obviously to revive satan
exclusively so you can fight him what
could go
wrong a particular note here on the
gameplay side is the final boss who is
samuel hayden because holy [ __ ] this
fight is hard also the premise is
ridiculous and my enjoyment of the game
is hurt by neither every aspect of this
is speedy
fun and everything else i've already
said about the game in general and when
you finally beat samuel and revive the
dark lord it
turns out he's you yeah the only thing
in the world that could possibly kill
john doom
himself
so now the not you you decides to go to
hell where we all belong and the second
dlc is just chasing him this is of
course where the testosterone moves into
critical levels
how does one get to the capital city of
hell well that's a great question first
of all go to the planet of argentineur
light the bat signal learn how to train
your dragon okay go into the giant spear
that pierces the entire planet for some
reason get the key to the gate
now go back to earth traverse the last
of us two and find the gate of diluma
but before i get to the final showdown
with crash bandicoot twinsanity there's
some cool gameplay i want to talk
about you have a [ __ ] hammer in this
dlc primarily used to defy the laws of
gravity but secondarily gives you
everything in the game
health no problem ammo absolutely my
deepest darkest urges
yes as i used this i became more
obsessed with hammers than bob the
[ __ ] builder and there's plenty of
demons to use it on since the dlc has a
shitload of reskins for instance the
spirit is a congealed amphetamine mass
that makes every infested target three
times faster microsoft pinball who is
fun to fight i promise
and the blood makers they are my
original
oc do not steal it so now that we've
reached cleveland it's time for the dlc
to gain
style this is the culmination of all of
our work the final battle against satan
himself
and holy [ __ ] you can feel it when the
sentinel army shows up and everyone's
ready to kick ass you just can't help
but feel like your dick is being tickled
cleveland lives up to the hype too
for once because it's a non-stop battle
of epic proportions right up until the
final boss
this is a universe which implicitly
acknowledges your god-like power by
making the only credible threat to you
your identical twin with red eyes in a
gun though that is called [ __ ]
gameplay and it's a beautiful send-off
right up until the man himself who
awkwardly waddles around the arena like
a penguin but that's fine the fight is
still cool
wow you know it's so sad that steve jobs
died with pigma who the hell is steve
jobs got him
now before we defenestrate there's a few
details i want to talk about that truly
complete this game make it a real 10 out
of good
firstly i would classify the music of
this game as metal without guitars and i
[ __ ] dig it
so much how do you make metal without a
guitar well you sample mongolian throat
singing and your lawnmower
it just sounds so good normally music
isn't very important but
it's so good that it becomes important
and the role it plays in setting your
mood is vital also the main composer
mick gordon like v
watches virtual youtubers every waking
second of his day great minds think
alike
in fact most of the music in this video
is just do maternal soundtrack guess
you'll have to re-watch it over and over
again to really listen
finally this game looks really good not
in the oh wow look at all these
particles i'm stroking out way
it's more like how does literally anyone
have time to model all of the geometry
in the game it is unreal
it is so downright inspired that it
makes you feel bad while playing it doom
eternal is such a fast and
pulse-pounding game that it's like
sprinting through the [ __ ] lube
how am i supposed to appreciate the mona
lisa when it looks like this should you
buy the game yes
i am very biased if speed and action is
what you crave and you want to induce
cardiac arrest early
this is your game i would like to thank
the demonic brotherhood funding this
channel in exchange for their souls
if you would like to engage in blood
sacrifice on my behalf
you can head to my patreon to learn more
thank you all for watching and of course
run they're coming
you
