Do you even remember how badass the intro to DOOM 2016 was? #Doom

I loved how the entire time Doom Marine just kept punching and breaking shit angrily when it came to completing objectives like pressing buttons, removing canisters from machines, etc.

"The module is very delicate, you need to input this code, then gently lift..." *angrily punches the module and yanks it out of the machine* Just chef's kiss...

Eternal is better in most aspects, but for me DOOM 2016 has wayyyy better immersion. The fact that you are in first person even on cinematics is so fucking badass. That may be the one thing i really think its a step down in eternal.

The way DOOMslayer looks down at the corpse when Hayden says “it was for the betterment of mankind” is perfect

One of the biggest "We're so back!" moments in video games.

They should have continued roughly in the same direction. Too many bad decisions in Eternal

Doom Slayer looking at the body when Samuel says "betterment of mankind" says a lot about his character than any form of dialogue or exposition ever could.

More character development in this one cutscene than most games.

The way he pumps the shotgun to the beat Actual goosebumps bruh

The scripted moments from 2016 are a lot more hype than the scripted moments from eternal.

@MasterionGamma Doom 2016 is the most effective “Less is More” story ever told

Probably just one of the greatest reboots of all time

Hell yeah, the little remix of E1M1 while the music keep going up, the main theme with the title and the music cut with the shotgun reloading, perfection

I’ll never forget it, every time I’ve replayed this I get more and more hyped

I'm only going to forget how badass that intro was when I'm DEAD

My god it still looks like a next-gen tech demo even now.

Best single moment of the year 2016 tbh

Oh yeah that shotgun reload on beat is forever etched in my brain.
I think its time for a new Doom game .

interesting, For me, the Shotgun pump is synched to the beat as the fourth "bum-bum"... And I always thought that was intentional and AMAZING.

Of course I do. That's how I knew it was gonna be a good game to play

Doom 2016 and Eternal remain 2 of my favorite game openings of all time. The only other ones that come to mind are the Left 4 Dead Intros, especially L4D2's.

the greatest.

Hot take: 2016 had some next level world building, like the slayer rampaging back and forth through the base all seemed very in context, where the next games seemed like a series of shooting galleries...

Yes i do ❤️

It's waiting around for a cutscene, waiting around for a door to open, waiting for a cutscene, a splash screen, and then getting slowed down right before the first encouter... Yeah idk

@ItBurn_ Epic elevator ride

Remember? Who could forget?!

Oh, I do

Watching this intro always makes me want to go back to it and complete it all over again

Hmm... time to replay it, I think.

How could one forget? It's the best intro to a game ever.

I sure do.
