So, Ryan, initial impressions of Doom so far?
Bro, I am ready to rip and tear. I have needed this game for a long time, brother. I'm pretty stoked.
Yeah, it definitely feels like pure violence, man.
I mean, I'm a kid in an arcade again, just blown up bodies like it is. It is been a blast.
That's a really good comparison. That's what this felt like is like an arcade game to me.
Yeah. 100%. Yeah, you're in there. The music is fantastic. I want to run through a wall, which you can do, which is amazing. You just go through. It all syncs up together. It's utter chaos, utter destruction. Initial impressions are a crisp, clean combat with lots of energy and just crazy, crazy everything.
Yeah, the game is extremely kinetic for sure. It's such a hard pivot for me going from something that is so narratively driven like Expedition 33 to this where it's like, okay, so you're the Doom Slayer and just go kill stuff. And I'm like, whoa, where's the story? Don't worry about the story. Just go kill stuff. Yeah, just you see it, go kill. Oh, yeah.
By the way, right away, there's like 100 ways you can kill things.
And then you just keep upgrading to more weapons and more ways to kill things. Imagine if they had the Slayer against the Painteress, bro.
