My favorite part about Doom as a kid was getting the enemies to fight each other if they accidentally hit each other. you could get little mini-wars to play out and it was absolutely hilarious. Had never seen anything like it before
I remember playing Doom 2 back in the mid 90's right before going on a family vacation. The only think I could think about while on vacation was getting back home to play Doom 2
I remember being in school being getting home to play Doom 2 for the first time. It felt like the longest day ever because it was all I could think about.
I've discovered DOOM in 1994, when I was 15 year old, and it blew my mind, it was unlike any other games I've played before. I've spent hours and hours playing DOOM at night, when the only PC we've had wasn't occupied... What a great time it was.
Brings back memories. Originally I had only PC speaker which limited the sounds to very basic noises and no music. Had a friend to who soundblaster and would play occasionally at his house. It was so awesome! Eventually I got adlib which was only 1/2 way there but was an improvement! Have many fond memories of playing multiplayer over dial-up.
Thanks for the memory flashback. Back in the 90's I used to modify autoexec.bat and config.sys and put them on a boot floppy disk. I first had a PC with 4MB RAM which had lousy graphics. Then I got another PC which had 8MB RAM and great graphics. I used to play with a friend. We'd connect our two PCs with a cable using the serial and parallel ports. I've installed sound cards to improve the sound. We played Doom, Doom2, Ultimate Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and others. Great times.
Did y'all play the newer ones (doom 16 and eternal) I'm 24, so my first doom was DM16, I never played doom 3 cuz I was in the foster system at the time I think, also, fxck that dude that said story in games aren't important, it's always important, I can't believe he said story in games are as useless as p0rn *rolls my eyes*
"We don't want to switch to the flashlight all the time!" id Software fixes the flashlight. "We want to switch to the flashlight!" You can never please some people.
@@elijahjarman2837 And we in the community fixed that with the duct-tape mod shortly after the initial release of the game. I didn't hear of anyone complaining about the official fix years later, until this video. Obviously, a space marine should be able to shine a spotlight while using a gun, ffs. Of course they needed to fix that, and I'm glad they did.
The thing that GOT me into Doom was the story. I read a Doom novel as a kid and loved the story of the Doomguy going deeper into Hell. His descriptions of the horrors, his recognizing of the marines he found in his unit and how some of them turning into zombies fucked with his head, etc. His slow decent into madness, as he became less and less human as he got closer to hell himself. Was fantastic.
Seeing that doom 4 was almost a generic cod clone makes me so appreciative of what we got. I'm so glad the recognized what people wanted. And PERFECTLY recaptured the feeling of rip and tear. Seriously doom 2016 and doom eternal are so much fucking fun.
@@Adrien_broner I wouldn't skip Doom 2016, it is incredible. Get Doom 2016, takes roughly 5 or 6 days to complete if you play it for around 2 hours a day, then play Eternal
@@notmaassa Alright! Sounds like a plan. Got lots of time to play games now with this lockdown 😎👍. Can't wait to play it. I remember back in the day playing Doom and Quake on the N64, good times!
Its a far better game than Eternal's rainbow pinata enemies and ridiculous/annoying platforming. Its NOT doom, its closer to Recore than actual Doom. Doom 2016 was perfect, they ripped out everything fun and added in so much junk for Eternal they should be ashamed.
I’m one of the few who still love the 2004 Doom, the horror, suspense, slow mechanic ... that game scared the s#*&t out of me and I would love a re-entry to that game mechanic with updated graphics.
I am yet another rare DOOM 3 fan, although I love the entire franchise frankly 😅 That game gives me the chills in a way that only DOOM can...the cut scenes, log entries/emails found in the PDAs, dark atmosphere and "Oh s*****" moments just made it a lot of scary fun! Yes...let's have a new version of THAT next...please? 😍💖
@@christopheralthouse6378 I agree, I love the entire franchise, all the games since 1993. A return to the horror style would be so awesome, with all the improvements in lightning technology, ray tracking, incredible shadow renditions and details textures would make enemies so scarry. And for the flashlight mechanics make it like the first version but for single handed weapons (like the pistol, the cube, etc) one hand flashlight and the other the weapon. For the big guns just ambient light or even the weapon's on light effects (like the Plasma Riffle and BFG).
I always thought Quake 4 was so much better than doom 3, I hated how slow and janky doom 3 was compared to Quake, even though they were the same design, engine of ID game
@@thepeatboggy Quake needs a comeback as well. I loved the grousomeness of Quake 2 (like the Strogg prison and processing plant) as well as Quake 4 where they kept that weird but intense atmosphere. The combat was not as fast as Quake I and Doom I & II but not EVERYTHING has to be on speed drugs. :P
One of the most awesome things about your videos is that you find footage of the development process for these games. That's not to say that it's near impossible to find this footage if I were to look, but it's the fact that you make a point to find and show this footage to help tell the story of these franchises. I really enjoy that about your videos.
Doom II was one of the most defining games of my childhood and I have fond memories from around age 7 (back in 97') of learning how to setup a Serial Link between two PC's to play co-op and deathmatch with my Dad - which was probably the moment that sparked my IT interest and career today. Around that same time I met a kid at school who was also a huge Doom fan, and we would spend all lunch time talking about the game, and recreating the monster and guns sounds etc. One Saturday morning my Dad had said me and my friend could play over modem which got us super excited, and initially that took ages to setup due to us having to disconnect the internet, call each other so my Dad could explain what settings my friend had to configure, then both reconnecting to the Dial-up, creating the "lobby", and praying that it worked this time. That moment we both finally got into a game and could see and type to each other in the Entryway was SURREAL (I still remember being mildly upset that my Doomguy was Indigo instead of my favorite colour Green)
I have to applaud you for using the correct aspect ratio in your Doom gameplay footage. It is really irritating to see people demonstrate the game with a stretched status bar and face.
Yeah, I refuse to play any game where UI elements or characters in the game itself are stretched incorrectly. Already recording content for next months project and carefully adjusting to ensure aspect ratios are accurate when widescreen options are not available
@@Nick930 Not to be that guy, but your status bar actually isn't properly stretched vertically. A few other ZDoomisms are present as well, but I mean you still put together a great video!
I used to play it at my mum's office in 94-95 when I was finishing college and I still play it from time to time. Kids today look at it derisively at first but get hooked in a matter of minutes!
@@halogalaxy5612 the doom movie with the rock is quite nice but the new one is more like a teenie drama, very cringe. Hope there will be a real doom movie with the actual doom slayer
Doom 3 is one of my favorites. I know fans just want to jump right into the action but I appreciate the time it gives you to soak up the atmosphere and get a feel of one's surroundings, in addition for me it gave a sense of foreboding knowing what was to come.
One of the things we loved about Doom, was that often there would be hidden rooms, and walls disappearing behind you as you passed, letting enemies attack you in the back. You often had to look behind you as you moved somewhere.
Mad video brother , thankyou !🤘🙏😁 I was lucky enough when Doom II came out to be doing work experience at a local computer shop when I was a teenager here in Australia. The guys working there were about 30-45years old and were so pumped as they were getting prerelease copies to play 5 days before release . They gave me the entire last day and a half off to give Doom II a crack before anyone else got their hands on it . When i went back to school Monday ..man was I pumped . Ppl couldn't believe I'd played it...was like a celebrity lol . Was awesome !!🤘
I absolutely loved doom 3, however..though being a horror fanatic, I never finished it. It was too damn nerve wracking. Love the 2016 doom, and as soon as I platinum it, I’ll jump head over heels at the new installment!
i just wanna point out how good your content is...i try to recommend you to people whenever i can and you deserve a bigger audience... keep up the great work Nick 👍
I appreciate the recap. I’m very new to the series and instantly got hooked once a friend introduced Doom 2016 to me. The game was like Silent Hill to me, always interested in it but never got to it. I’m glad that I can finally be part of this great community.
I remember moving during 8th grade, thinking the school was going to be boring but my computer class was awesome because we were always playing Quake 1 and we all end up cutting classes for Quake and this was around 2010. My teacher didn’t care at all cus we would finish he work or he wouldn’t even give us work. AAhh......those were the days
I remember playing DOOM 3 for the first time. I was so scarred, in the middle of the day. This game made me feel sick in the stomach at some points. But I just couldn't stop playing. It was just like adrenaline. What's scary gonna happen next? I need this.
I remember doom dreams. Oh wow you just brought me back to 95, 96... and ya know what? As scary as my dreams were, and they were awful, I don't regret one second. Thats why am now playing on my Xbox doom 2 and the dlc
In the mid 1990s, there were 2 types of 3d games, there were either games that looked like a weird 3d but were actually 2d, and there was P O L Y G O N
The Ultimate Doom and Doom II somehow feel the most scary and creepy. With the crucified half bodies on the walls, infernal drawings, impaled bodies... and that midi music. Some people try to make covers of the original Doom music, but automatically, with higher fidelity it loses its scary feel. Btw the cinematics in the post- Doom 2 games look cool, but on the other hand, it steals the moment of surprise and need-to-learn when encountering an enemy you've never met before. When I played Knee-deep In The Dead for the fist time, I remember how terrified I was when I finally entered Phobos Anomaly, right away I sensed that there will be something big behind the silence. And that scream of the Barons of Hell did justice to my pants later... Great video, thanks!
Fun fact (maybe): “Doom” got its title from a line Tom Cruise says in the pool hustling movie “Color of Money.” Tom brings in the case of his new pool cue, and when a man asks, “What you got in there?” Cruise says, “Doom.”
Doom 2 is part of the "doom" disk on the PSX so technically, it has been ported to the psx as well. Also, master level, tnt and plutonia are all ported as a "final doom" compilation on the PSX.
FYI carmack wrote 99% of the rendering pipeline for doom 2016 (idtech6). All the crytek guy did was add vulkan support. Idtech7 is identical (essentially) to 6. The only real difference in the rendering pipeline is the removal of megatextures and updating the vulkan function calls to the latest version. So it's still mostly Carmacks work. I only bring it up because it shows his absolute genius and he deserves credit for idtech7 even though he works at Oculus where he created some amazing magical math that keeps the Rift S controller tracking accurate even when the camera can't see them. Prior to the update he made it didn't work well when out of camera view but he wrote code that used the sensors in the controllers and some insane math
I can't even describe how much respect I have for this guy for making long videos like these, with all of the editing required to put all the clips of gameplay that he had to find together. F
This series on your channel has become one of my favorites on RUclips. They are always so interesting, even for franchises I’ve never played. I’m fascinated by how old games were made and the developer backstories. VERY well done!
I was 7 years old in 1993 and a teenager friend of mine had this insane computer and sound system setup and he got Doom... I have never been so afraid in my life, playing that game for the first time in the dark late at night. When the 2004 Doom came out, it was the first time I experienced that again - loved that game.
everybody talks about the game yet i admire the dude that telling the story he basically summarized everything there is to know about doom while making it intersting. excellent job sir.
Wish there is more time where a game developer released a game and it already crashed the servers because the game is fun, easy to play and literally everyone in the world can download it and simply run it.
ive recently started playing them all doom 1 doom 2 doom 3 and doom2016 and i haven't been disappointed by any of them but i was born in 2000 and started playing games with quake so i prefer doom 3 and doom 2016 so i prefer those more because its a new 3d fps no i like the genre change for doom 3 its something different im glad thats not how the resat of the game are but it was a nice change
All the original Doom games in my 20s. Doom3, 30s. Doom 2016 in my 40s, its beautiful but tough to watch. Fast paced stuff, my eyes are getting old! #1 fave? DOOM 3. the horror fps really did it for me
What I like about this channel is you don't shout with over-excitedness like you took a large dose of Speed, or try too hard to be funny and quirky, and no silly memes. So refreshing as it seems like 95% of video game channels turn me off due to it.
Amazing documentary, loved every part of it! You truly deserve more attention! I can see how much effort you put into it. Can you also make a documentary about Uncharted? That would be awesome.
Awesome man!! Love when people put their own into something, watched soo many retrospectives on Doom. You’re is among the best! Oh and I love every Doom game, have Doom 64 on N64 and the rerelease...plus played almost every doom game besides the RPG and Virtual reality...I wanna play them soo bad...huge Doom and Quake fan here...love it... rip and tear doomies!!!
Doom 3 was probably my favorite honestly, I loved the horror aspect. And i remember the game scaring the bejesus out of 17 year old me at the time lol.
Excellent work, Nick, this is a fantastic presentation. I've been playing this series since the first Doom back in the early 90s, and you presented information even I didn't know. Thanks!
Back in the 90s my middle school "business class" was just us playing _Doom_ in a computer room with our teacher supplying us the codes on laminated sheets. She did teach us other stuff, but the class was mostly that.
FYI in doom 3 if you don't want the story you just have to hit the Esc key, BUT Doom 3 was and is the best Doom, that guy that left because he wanted a story was right it needed it just killing and killing gets boring fast that is unless you're a child...
Yes, Nick! If I wanted to see the history of Doom by anyone, it'd be you. Top stuff. I played the original on an £800 66mhz Pentium (800 notes was a lot back in 1995). Doom 2016 absolutely nailed it. It's the best shooter in the last ten years, and also how Doom should be done. Fantastic
Nick: I'll provide full coverage when it releases next week. Me: What? The game is not out yet...when was this video uploaded? ...when you realise the video was uploaded today :P
The only Doom game I ever really played to completion was Doom 3. I'll admit, it was quite scary. I played some Doom game collections or something on the PS1, but only rented it like once or something.
Since 1994 I've loved every doom game I've played and holy smokes the first time I played that VFR version blew me away for never having a VR head set on in my life, hell, I almost bought a PS4 just for that game.
First I was like, yea yea another doom history video... almost 40minutes long? Thats BS.... then I was like, ohhh wait, it comes from this channel?! Jeez I got to watch it, and I need to watch it now!
Bro playing doom eternal during The COVID-19 pandemic in early March when it what is required to stay indoors was The best way to spend Time in those couple of weeks.🙃
As a player of DOOM from pretty much the start, I would absolutely have to say DOOM 3 was among the best! The environment always ends up distracting me and I catch myself looking in every corner, no matter how many times I play through it. I have beaten doom 3 more times than any other game I own.

One of the things we loved about Doom, was that often there would be hidden rooms, and walls disappearing behind you as you passed, letting enemies attack you in the back. You often had to look behind you as you moved somewhere.
There was a bunch of title missing: Prengancy test Doom, Microwave Doom, Texas Instrument Calculator Doom, and of course, TAMAGOCHI DOOM!
Can't wait for Friday. DOOM is quickly become one of my favorite game franchises of all time!
The effort on researching for this video should be very much respected. This is high quality YT gaming content.
I've seen like 3 videos like this already in the last few years but I'm absolutely ready to hear about it all again. Doom is eternal.
Mad video brother , thankyou !🤘🙏😁
I was lucky enough when Doom II came out to be doing work experience at a local computer shop when I was a teenager here in Australia.
The guys working there were about 30-45years old and were so pumped as they were getting prerelease copies to play 5 days before release .
They gave me the entire last day and a half off to give Doom II a crack before anyone else got their hands on it .

Great video as always. Not that I needed any more hype, but a closer look at this iconic series is always appreciated.
You and me both!
I absolutely loved doom 3, however..though being a horror fanatic, I never finished it. It was too damn nerve wracking. Love the 2016 doom, and as soon as I platinum it, I’ll jump head over heels at the new installment!
i just wanna point out how good your content is...i try to recommend you to people whenever i can and you deserve a bigger audience... keep up the great work Nick 👍
I appreciate the recap. I’m very new to the series and instantly got hooked once a friend introduced Doom 2016 to me. The game was like Silent Hill to me, always interested in it but never got to it. I’m glad that I can finally be part of this great community.
I remember moving during 8th grade, thinking the school was going to be boring but my computer class was awesome because we were always playing Quake 1 and we all end up cutting classes for Quake and this was around 2010. My teacher didn’t care at all cus we would finish he work or he wouldn’t even give us work.
AAhh......those were the days
Cool but that was a pretty bad teacher
I was in high school in mid 2010 , foe me it was tye og counterstrike during computer class 😊
I remember playing DOOM 3 for the first time. I was so scarred, in the middle of the day. This game made me feel sick in the stomach at some points. But I just couldn't stop playing. It was just like adrenaline. What's scary gonna happen next? I need this.
I remember doom dreams. Oh wow you just brought me back to 95, 96... and ya know what? As scary as my dreams were, and they were awful, I don't regret one second. Thats why am now playing on my Xbox doom 2 and the dlc
"Rip and tear" - a slogan that will forever be connected to Doom (And insanely awesome music)
You mean forever connected to 2016..
I am 50 now and I can remember when I downloaded the demo disks from a BBS and it took FOREVER! But then when I used it... IT blew my mind!!
Holy shiitt, i was JUST thinking "Why hasn't he done a DOOM one yet?" Have you thought about doing one on the Grand Theft Auto Series?
In the mid 1990s, there were 2 types of 3d games, there were either games that looked like a weird 3d but were actually 2d, and there was P O L Y G O N
Yeah that’s what modern 3d games evolved into.
Such a good video. Well done on implementing so many FPS games and history into this DOOM history.
The Ultimate Doom and Doom II somehow feel the most scary and creepy. With the crucified half bodies on the walls, infernal drawings, impaled bodies... and that midi music. Some people try to make covers of the original Doom music, but automatically, with higher fidelity it loses its scary feel.
Btw the cinematics in the post- Doom 2 games look cool, but on the other hand, it steals the moment of surprise and need-to-learn when encountering an enemy you've never met before. When I played Knee-deep In The Dead for the fist time, I remember how terrified I was when I finally entered Phobos Anomaly, right away I sensed that there will be something big behind the silence. And that scream of the Barons of Hell did justice to my pants later...
Great video, thanks!
always happy to see a new vid thx. i subbed
Awesome, thank you!
this is a very good documentary. you explained a lot and it wasn't boring watching it.
unlike Halo, Doom is one of those games that stayed true to its origin throughout the years
Fun fact (maybe): “Doom” got its title from a line Tom Cruise says in the pool hustling movie “Color of Money.” Tom brings in the case of his new pool cue, and when a man asks, “What you got in there?” Cruise says, “Doom.”
Mind blowing documentary on Doom.Cant wait for Doom eternal.
Finally someone who actually remembers DOOM VFR
Doom 2 is part of the "doom" disk on the PSX so technically, it has been ported to the psx as well. Also, master level, tnt and plutonia are all ported as a "final doom" compilation on the PSX.
FYI carmack wrote 99% of the rendering pipeline for doom 2016 (idtech6). All the crytek guy did was add vulkan support.
Idtech7 is identical (essentially) to 6. The only real difference in the rendering pipeline is the removal of megatextures and updating the vulkan function calls to the latest version. So it's still mostly Carmacks work.
I only bring it up because it shows his absolute genius and he deserves credit for idtech7 even though he works at Oculus where he created some amazing magical math that keeps the Rift S controller tracking accurate even when the camera can't see them. Prior to the update he made it didn't work well when out of camera view but he wrote code that used the sensors in the controllers and some insane math
That game, was part of my childhood.
I can't even describe how much respect I have for this guy for making long videos like these, with all of the editing required to put all the clips of gameplay that he had to find together. F

Hey, wait a minute...
Has the Meat Hook for the shotgun really been around for that long??
Hero's Shade That was the original weapon intended to be used in the pre alpha stages, a battle rifle with a weird bayonet.
Bruh thats a bayonet my dude
2:17 the orginal cacodemon was a titan...
Nice gurren lagann pfp
This series on your channel has become one of my favorites on RUclips. They are always so interesting, even for franchises I’ve never played. I’m fascinated by how old games were made and the developer backstories. VERY well done!
Coming back from the future, doom eternal is so good that even on my bad computer the game is still fun and amazing to play
Epic
I was 7 years old in 1993 and a teenager friend of mine had this insane computer and sound system setup and he got Doom...
I have never been so afraid in my life, playing that game for the first time in the dark late at night.
When the 2004 Doom came out, it was the first time I experienced that again - loved that game.
1:14 Wolf 3D
9:37 Doom II
13:53 Quake
14:07 Doom (1997)
17:15 Doom reboot
18:57 Doom 3
everybody talks about the game yet i admire the dude that telling the story he basically summarized everything there is to know about doom while making it intersting. excellent job sir.
Doom eternal is my favorite because I can spend hours playing Doom 1 and 2 on Doom Guy's PC
For free!
@@fugit1vegaming397 Yeah it’s amazing their dedication to the originals
Wish there is more time where a game developer released a game and it already crashed the servers because the game is fun, easy to play and literally everyone in the world can download it and simply run it.
I think Doom 3 is criminally underrated. In fact, it's still my favorite game from the franchise.
that's because you have really bad taste
GraveUypo I’m sure that’s it.
yogisie Yep it's not just you. My favourite doom.
ive recently started playing them all doom 1 doom 2 doom 3 and doom2016 and i haven't been disappointed by any of them but i was born in 2000 and started playing games with quake so i prefer doom 3 and doom 2016 so i prefer those more because its a new 3d fps no i like the genre change for doom 3 its something different im glad thats not how the resat of the game are but it was a nice change
All the original Doom games in my 20s. Doom3, 30s. Doom 2016 in my 40s, its beautiful but tough to watch. Fast paced stuff, my eyes are getting old! #1 fave? DOOM 3. the horror fps really did it for me
Awesome yet again! Perfect editing, narrating and timing... always have loved your videos Nick :)
I remember all of these moments in my life .. thanks for the pure nostalgia video I recall getting floppy disks and loading up doom 1993.
What I like about this channel is you don't shout with over-excitedness like you took a large dose of Speed, or try too hard to be funny and quirky, and no silly memes. So refreshing as it seems like 95% of video game channels turn me off due to it.
I still have my original copy of Doom from 1993, purchased directly from Id Software, still in the box, with sales receipt and 3.5 inch floppy disks.
Amazing documentary, loved every part of it! You truly deserve more attention! I can see how much effort you put into it. Can you also make a documentary about Uncharted? That would be awesome.
Bravo! Damn did I enjoy that. Very tight production.
Awesome man!! Love when people put their own into something, watched soo many retrospectives on Doom. You’re is among the best! Oh and I love every Doom game, have Doom 64 on N64 and the rerelease...plus played almost every doom game besides the RPG and Virtual reality...I wanna play them soo bad...huge Doom and Quake fan here...love it... rip and tear doomies!!!
That soundtrack was FIRE!! I was kind of iffy about the new Doom but it blew my mind away when I played it, excellent work on the video man.
Doom 3 was probably my favorite honestly, I loved the horror aspect. And i remember the game scaring the bejesus out of 17 year old me at the time lol.
Did you play doom 64 ?
This game along Heretic, Duke Nukem 3D and many others made my childhood! Awesome video!
1:07 Nick: "to answer that,"
Me: *we need to talk about perrall universes*
Best FPS franchise in the gaming industry, I'd say.
Nice documentary!
The goverment after they ban DooM Eternal but the violence and criminality rates are still rising: *NANI*
I bought Doom 2 a couple days ago and haven’t stopped playing it since, it is so good
What system are you rocking it on?
Duke Nukem 3D could be considered (wrongly, imho) a Doom clone since it's a FPS. However, it did use an in-house developed engine named Build.
The first part is Duke Nukem.
Excellent work, Nick, this is a fantastic presentation. I've been playing this series since the first Doom back in the early 90s, and you presented information even I didn't know. Thanks!
I will forever consider the pitch black dark shadows in DOOM3 a design flaw.
Back in the 90s my middle school "business class" was just us playing _Doom_ in a computer room with our teacher supplying us the codes on laminated sheets.
She did teach us other stuff, but the class was mostly that.
"Story in a game is like story in a porn movie ; it's expected to be there , but its not that important."-John Carmack
Thank god this isn't true now
Proceeds to make Doom3*
*[Ominous animatronic eyes glow from the shadows]*
FYI in doom 3 if you don't want the story you just have to hit the Esc key, BUT Doom 3 was and is the best Doom, that guy that left because he wanted a story was right it needed it just killing and killing gets boring fast that is unless you're a child...
Yes, Nick! If I wanted to see the history of Doom by anyone, it'd be you. Top stuff.
I played the original on an £800 66mhz Pentium (800 notes was a lot back in 1995). Doom 2016 absolutely nailed it. It's the best shooter in the last ten years, and also how Doom should be done.
Fantastic
It's always nice when a game returns to what made it special in the first place
Nick: I'll provide full coverage when it releases next week.
Me: What? The game is not out yet...when was this video uploaded?
...when you realise the video was uploaded today :P
Two first DOOMS have to remastered to eternity
The only Doom game I ever really played to completion was Doom 3. I'll admit, it was quite scary. I played some Doom game collections or something on the PS1, but only rented it like once or something.
Doom (original) was such a change in how 3d felt that I fell out of my chair once dodging imp fireballs.
3:57 Wait.....The Meat Hook From Doom Eternal Used To Be In Doom 1? Scrapped Idea Brought Back To Life I Guess.
Great documentary of one of my favourite game franchises ever! Loved it
That snake monster in quake reminds me of the one in Doom eternal
Since 1994 I've loved every doom game I've played and holy smokes the first time I played that VFR version blew me away for never having a VR head set on in my life, hell, I almost bought a PS4 just for that game.
First I was like, yea yea another doom history video... almost 40minutes long? Thats BS.... then I was like, ohhh wait, it comes from this channel?! Jeez I got to watch it, and I need to watch it now!
Bro playing doom eternal during The COVID-19 pandemic in early March when it what is required to stay indoors was The best way to spend Time in those couple of weeks.🙃
"It takes almost 30 minutes before the intro ends" (twilight princess) Am I a joke to you?
As a player of DOOM from pretty much the start, I would absolutely have to say DOOM 3 was among the best! The environment always ends up distracting me and I catch myself looking in every corner, no matter how many times I play through it. I have beaten doom 3 more times than any other game I own.
I truly hope you mean DooM 64 when you say DooM 3
@@doomdoomerson6524 ummmm, no. I do in fact mean doom 3 from 2004.
