But yeah, maybe it`s one of these parallel universes thingymajigs. In my time and era videogames were actually the only common ground for our version of jocks/nerds. yes pretty much my experience. i mean we didn't really have "jocks" and "nerds" in the first place. there were cliques of course but they weren't that rigid. you could kinda hang with people from different cliques if that makes sense. but welp, in my country you don't really have different "classes". you have different teachers teaching different subjects like maths and physics and w/e, but you're always with the same group of students. that probably makes the group dynamic very different from school systems based on "courses" w/e.

this brings up a salient point: the new doom won't give rise to a new generation of dylan & erics because the protagonist is physically strong and thus wholly unrelatable
You're wrong Joe I can rip a daemons head off with my bear hands you don't know my life.

ripping someone's head off is kind of less impressive if you're a bear

joe's hypothesis is, with all due respect, rather spotty to begin with, seeing as the protagonist of the original doom was also rather physically strong and is, to my understanding, the same person who stars in this new professional digital entertainment product.

I would like to postulate that Doomguy is of average adult strength, and it's actually the demons that are weak, owing to the much lower gravity of the surface of both Phobos and Deimos.

Moving my edit to a new reply because people responded to my original post rather quickly
Anyway. I absolutely loved the new DOOM game. It's kickass and I miss playing games like classic DOOM, or wolfenstein, (another amazing reboot as well) or Max Payne 1 & 2, or any game just based around being a badass. I hate the new idea that every game needs to be a full cinematic experience with a coherent back story and narrative. Just let me blow something up. I don't watch Micheal Bay movies because when I go to the cinema I want a story. But I want Micheal Bay games. I play games for action and adventure.
Also, the intro to this game was perfect. It was the middle ground between a "gritty reboot" and Duke Nukem Velveeta-grade cheese. Too much cheese and self-reference kills a game for me.

I rest my case.

According to Hollywood that is average adult male strength. He could even be a single father, raising his half demon kids the best he can.

Yeah I'm playing DOOM too and I think they nailed the intro for this gam. Really shows you what a badass the Doomguy is. Some dude starts talking to him about plot and he just rips the computer apart.
But I also learned that it's maybe a little too fast-paced for me. I'm having real trouble keeping up with all the shit that happens in fights, the action is overwhelming. But that's not a problem with the game itself, it's just that I'm really bad at FPS games haha.

I've heard a LOT of people say this about the new Doom but IMHO the game is pretty average to slow paced in both shooting and progression, maybe it's a generational thing and you're just comparing it more to games like COD and battlefield/etc ? Compared to other actual "twitch" shooters doom is actually pretty tame. Gotta add too i found most of the weapons on Doom to be pretty useless and never really used the upgrades on most. I pretty much just shotgunned my way through the whole game and once i found that super shotgun it was over, my other weapons gathered dust (especially the horrible new plasma gun that felt like i was shooting the demons with spitballs or something with the pathetic damage it was doing)

Let's face it, that's really the only true gun Doom ever had. Ah, sweet, sweet shotty, My Precious...

You have to stretch it to 4:3 or it won't look right.

Yeah, I don't actually play any twitch shooters other than this. My reference frame is stuff like Dishonored and Deus Ex. i.e. games where you can gun if you want but you could also just stealth through the levels. This is the "purest" shooter I've played in a very long time.
