I must've missed that as I barely paid any attention to the story and I'd just assumed it was the case all along. How was it revealed?

From 0:51 here (that's the original DOOM helmet one of the priests is holding). They also added an extra chapter to DOOM64 (which was released alongside Eternal) that linked the original 3 games and DOOM 2016.

Oh yeah I remember that now. I just didn't realise it was a reveal as I'd always assumed that was the case since the 2016 game!

I think it was heavily speculated (Patrick Klepek did an excellent article on the lore over at Kotaku https://kotaku.com/the-wild-theory-that ... 1778916602) but not confirmed until then!

Yeah the overt confirmation that the Doom Slayer is the original Doom Guy was fun, although it was never really that much of a secret - 2016 had more than enough nods to the connection that weren't exactly hidden all that deep.

I still need to grab the DLC for this and give it another run through but there are just too many other things I've got on the go at the moment!

Sorry about that Jenuall, I completely misinterpreted what you said there.

Speaking of the lore, I did find the audio logs of the woman pretty funny. Sounds like she's jilling herself off while she's recording them :slol: :slol: :slol:

Recorded myself playing one of my fav fights: Master Level Cultist Base on Ultra-Violent. One of those few games that can be as fun to watch as play.



Not perfect by any means, but I managed not to die!

EDIT: Oh lord that's some bad compression. Still.

Enjoying this a lot more now.

Beat the Maurader which I thought was fine.

Just completed the BFG / Mars level.

Still think the jumping sections dilute the experience slightly although now Ive had the bright idea of using the Runes which help with jumping they are a lot less irratating.

Keep on holding off playing this in the hope Limited Run Games might do a Switch run of it at some point in the future, that and my Game Pass isn’t currently active so.

This game exhausts me, like, I feel I have to get 'in the zone' when I play it and if I'm in anyway tired I can't play it. :lol: :fp:

Going through Part One and holy gooseberry fool this is hard. I'm pretty good at ETERNAL, having completed the campaign and all the Master Levels on Nightmare, but on Ultra Violence this leaves that in the dirt.

Gave up on the first Slayer Gate as that gooseberry fool is ridiculous.

Looks amazing. Is it just the base game on game pass?
