>that specific shade of Polygon-esque pink
Very nice attention to detail

Does the new Doom have a story though or is it just mindlessly going from point A to point B shooting everything in the way?

>doom needs a story

>badass doomguy
>in hell

What more do you want?

PA's got the pull to really rip into these games sites like they deserve. I wonder why they never just go right for the jugular.

There's a bit of a story, the main story beat is Doomguy is the same Doomguy from the original games, who got encased in Hell and is awoken by the UAC to stop another invasion of Mars

here's an excerpt

Because if they did, the gaming journalism profession may collapse entirely.

...good?

I understand. Old people have difficulty following plots.

Video games don't need stories.

The plot is this.
>There's Demons.
>Kill the fuck out of them

>X doesn't need stories

that's true for pretty much everything, doesn't mean that must be the case

thank god Japanese devs aren't as autistic and aren't afraid to put stories and put effort on them for their games

Doom doesn't need a story.

You shoot demons. It's fun. That's all it needs to be.

>those noses

It's been years and years since I've read this, but now people are posting it on Sup Forums, and I see how the art has changed. Those noses freak me out. It looks ridiculous. Hard to believe that their early comics had those shadow-only mang noses.

I mean, look at this fucker. He looks like a koala.

People will tell you otherwise, but PA's been draw by ghost artists for at least the last few years.

Oh I agree on that. Not all games need stories but I don't see the problem if some games want to put one in it.

don't they draw a comic on stage at every PAX

Why the fuck is he playing it on a console?

And I'm sure Jim Davis could fire out a quick sketch of Garfield if you asked him, but if you think he's drawing every daily strip you got a screw loose.

These guys are still at it, huh?

They get money from throwing PAX, right? Why not just... do that exclusively instead?

All of gaming journalism. Even the good parts.

Imagine if every news company suddenly went under. Seems good at first, but then we get a power vaccuum.

I played it on a console and it was great. Don't know how I would be able to cope with KB+M.

They do it as a hobby.

>Don't know how I would be able to cope with KB+M.
What's that 'sposed to mean? You don't know how to play games with KB+M or something?

>All of gaming journalism. Even the good parts.
>gaming journalism
>good parts

There's nothing gaming journalism offers that you can't get from thousands of Youtubers, but without the vitriol and needless politicizing.

I don't think you can sink the games journalism industry because it's not really much of an industry in the first place

I mean sure, the right string of events could destroy big sites like Kotaku or IGN or Gamespot, but you'd still have weirdos on Youtube talking ignorantly about random shit, you'd still have eggheads writing overwrought thinkpieces on their personal blogs, and you'd still have people who think they're part of TMZ peddling in rumor and secrecy in exchange for desperate cash

It's not like there's an actual product being produced and distributed here. It's just a bunch of clowns talking about their hobby. You can't get rid of that kind of thing just by taking away publisher-side pre-launch promotional considerations.

>I mean sure, the right string of events could destroy big sites like Kotaku

HULKAMANIA.

"Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important."

For years, the artist has publicly stated how he likes to change up his style and tends to get swept up in emulating certain artists. Most people remember when he was on a kick with something like the Kim Possible art director's style (if I recall directly), because that's when they made it really big.

There's literally no evidence it's ghost draw aside from "but the art's so bad now, man! It must be ghost artists, there's no other reasonable explanation!"

>Youtube
>without the vitriol

But you do, extremely rarely, find games with good stories. I've never gotten emotional over a porn movie.

Either way, I think it looks terrible. It's not such a great departure from his old style... except those noses.

Meme lover made me cry.

>but
Yeah, but what the guy I quoted (you know who it is) means that there is no need to make it something more than a background, that was Doom's policy.
You are a marine sent to kill demons and fuck shit up.
That's it.

>Repeating a quote that was only relevant in the 90's when it was said
ayyy lmao

Cute, but... they Do know they're millennials themselves, right?

These statements keep popping up, and I don't know whether they really believe that the term refers to people born after 1995 instead of before, or it's one of those "White guys amirite" scenarios like pic related

Wil Wheaton is 43 years old.

>arcadey "fun for fun" games are over
The fact that they still succeed proves you are wrong.
There is a market.

>b-but muh
Look if you are so simple minded you don't get that there is space for more than one type of game, or even artistical expression in general, fuck off.

Walking simulators still suck.

>walking simulators
Bro, stop.

Don't know if Wheaton shits on millennials; 's okay if he does, since he's not one. I meant general statements in which you criticize a demographic you obviously belong to

I'd say they could claim to be gen x

"Story in a movie is like a story in a porno. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important."

>that pic

Y'know.

I think I understand. The need for a word like 'cuck'.

It's defeatist sycophantic asshole brought down to 1 syllable.

No, that picture of Wheaton is 100% not meant to be ironic. He's being genuine.

they.. aren't? they are Gen X'ers.

So you are saying tetris needs a deep plot to entertain you?
Games are fundamentally different from movies.
If you have no idea what the fuck you are on about just shut up.

>m-minecraft needs a plot
It could have one, but think about the amount of people who just don't care.

Harmony Korine built his entire career on movies without stories!

But I don't wanna sit here and discuss the merits of Trash Humpers and Gummo.

Will Wheaton is what happens when your only claim to fame is playing an universally hated character.

It's only been in recent years that people have been saying that Wesley wasn't a total piece of shit, but to me it seems like the typical reverse backlash. Kind of like how a lot of people are saying Enterprise is actually a good show. It isn't, and Wesley isn't a good character. Both had their moments, yes, but when you get down to it, both are still mostly crap.

And Wheaton has been milking that reputation. No wonder he's fucked up. He starred alongside Patrick fucking Stewart, LeVar Burton who already had two BIG roles by that point, even Dwight Schulz who was Murdock on the A-Team. And there you are, as a mediocre child actor, being thrust into the spotlight every other day, and hated for it.

It's kind of easy to forget how much above his level everyone else on Star Trek TNG was. But you even had guest roles with actors who would turn out to be famous. There's one Wesley episode where he's now completely overshadowed by the fact that the other guy is Dr. Kelso from Scrubs.

Right, my bad. Thought they were around their mid-thirties or so

"People who use quotes as arguments should be dragged out on the street and shot in the head".

that wouldn't matter either Millenials aren't in their mid 30's

Well, yes they are; that's the issue. I know once enough people start misusing a term it kinda *stops* being misused, but the original meaning of "millennial" is what it is.

stop posting my man.

pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/04/25/millennials-overtake-baby-boomers/

>Millennials, whom we define as those ages 18-34 in 2015, now number 75.4 million, surpassing the 74.9 million Baby Boomers (ages 51-69). And Generation X (ages 35-50 in 2015) is projected to pass the Boomers in population by 2028.

Granted nobody really likes the yuge range but that's the nature of the beast for age ranges of any choice - the far end and beginning blur with the previous or succeeding generation.

Someone's becoming a bitter old jagoff.

Polygon writers please go.

>Seems good at first, but then we get a power vaccuum.
Power vacuum? What power? There isn't meant to be power.

Ideally gaming journalism should be a guy who likes what I like sitting in his basement playing vidya all days and telling what he did and did not like and why so I would know what should I try out and what not to bother with. There's going to be demand for this, although forums might do a better job. Still I would gladly ban current "gaming journalists" for offtopic and trolling.

as long as we're posting comics shitting on games journalism

People who don't get why the quote is significant and directly related to Doom should kill themselves.
Seriously, get a grip you whiny bitch

>becoming

Nigga, you're shooting demons from hell on fucking mars, what the fuck more do you want?

Here's a great PA, not that anyone asked.

I always thought that the original Doom told a pretty good story just from it's levels and designs.
Like it'd start pretty normal on a military base with the human guards having been zombified.
Then later on you find demons, and the portals they came in through.
The hellforming in particular was unsettling, realizing that not just demons, but the hell dimension itself was creeping into ours.
That the very walls and air itself were being transformed.
And of course hell itself; where hellforming turned buttons into skulls, here you'd be pushing eyeballs in walls of flesh. Entire levels were just part of some larger organism of pain.
The cyberdemon is interesting too, since it shows that while hell pushes into our world, they're integrating our stuff as well.

So yeah, 99.9% of Doom was just shooting baddies in the face, no argument there; but the game certainly created a story of hell being a dangerous, powerful place that, had it not been for your actions, would have overrun our reality.

The story is
- evil Corp discovers portal to Hell
- wants to harness Hell energy
- demons attack Mars
- you kill everything in your way

The Penny Arcade guys don't really care about games anymore, but when they have something they care about, it's pretty good.

They dug too greedily and too deep.

You are the Doom Guy. You wake up in a sarcophagus retrieved by an AU UAC, and then you murder everything you see. It turns out you killed so many demons in hell that they view you as an ancient evil and trap you. Then you wake up to murder all of them.

>universally hated

But he isn't.

Sometimes you go to point C to find a hidden cell pack.

>Dr. Kelso

Who?

> from Scrubs

What?

>PA's been draw by ghost artists for at least the last few years

Saying it doesn't make it true, Interstella. No matter how many times you repeat it.

>Why the fuck is he playing it on a console?

I use an XBOX 360 controller with my computer.

>doesn't know about Bob-o
>doesn't know about Scrubs
I swear, this better not have just been bait to make me post this.

He's still better than Polygon reviewers

This is not a joke

youtube.com/watch?v=d3pQ0oO_cDE

That was the least of the problems of PoE

Scrubs is shit desu.

They did add a transgender side quest to the OG Baldur's Quest, so it's fixed now

xd

The video with the pussy crying about guns with the range simulator makes me laugh even more

Does PoE even have romances?

Got bored of it and didn't play past the second town

>not posting the Sup Forums version.

It's in the water in San Francisco.Giant Bomb had problem with that VR demo because they didn't turn off the safety and rack the slide.

And Jeff has an irrational hatred of anything without an ACOG sight.

Pretty sure it doesn't. Dropped out of boredom as well, but tyranny looks interesting

That's objectively bullshit, chum. Wesley is literally the most hated character in Star Trek, with only Neelix being any sort of rival in that department.

This has been the dominant opinion in Trek fandom for decades, by this point. And for good reason, because he's a goddamn obnoxious character being played by a wet paper napkin of an actor.

>Millennial strawman

Didn't Tycho make a comic making fun of this type of reasoning?

It's not a strawman if it's not an argument.

It's mocking.

>google it again
>like/dislikes are hidden
>Comments are disabled for this video.
Triggered as fuck.

It's funny because there are actual video game reviews out there that are that stupid.

Thanks for posting this. I am working on a game now and not looking forward to navigating public perception.

It's hard enough getting all your team mates on the same page after hours of meetings let alone someone who is trying to blow through the game just to fire off a 500 word article.

That's not a strawman. That's pretty much the Polygon Rock Star 4 review in a nutshell.

Oh god I wish this wasn't real

What an irredeemable wanker

I'm a person who prefers controller

>Thanks for posting this. I am working on a game now and not looking forward to navigating public perception.

Just don't be a huge faggot. Respond to fans in a polite way, and address their suggestions without being Philip Fish.

Polygon and Kotaku are less than relevant now, and they're butthurt about it.

That's fine for some genres, but the fast paced FPS that is Doom is not one of them.

...

That got blown out of the water when HL came out, though.

Half Life is the Watchmen of vidya in that it is a great game that created a bunch of bad tryhard cinematic garbage.

link?

The gameplay is still the core draw of Half-Life, and any game.

It is the most liberal whinefest you can imagine.

>Please stop. The 13th Amendment makes it illegal to own niggas like this.
God dammit that got me good

To be fair he was talking about Americans going up to Japanese girls in Japan and calling them waifu

Gonna need to ask for link
