>It's trivially easy to implement, just make it so that whenever you get hit there's a diceroll to see in which body part it lands, with bigger parts having a higher chance.
Yeah I'm okay with this.

>doom damage is already super dice-rolly, adding more dice rolls seems like a terrible idea.
You say this to the community who loves D:RLA and DoomRPG, and a million randomizer based gameplay mods.

I've had a serious problem with the way Doom 2016 reinterprets what OG Doom was in a sort of kneejerk reaction to Doom 3, and this feels like an extension of it.

Wolf 3D had a live system that Doom 1 shed, which is why it's a part of what makes Doom, Doom. It's hard for me to even consider Doom 2016 part of the same series unless you think of it in terms of brutal doom and fan mods after the fact, more of a zeigeist of the idea of what doom was v.s. what it actually was.

I've posted a ton about this but they basically gutted anything that included making you feel like you were in that environment or anything that got in the way of the power fantasy. In Doom 1, 2 and even 64 had enemies as a thing to struggle against and progress through.
Enemies in Doom 2016 aren't just not scary anymore, they are never an obstacle, to the point where imps will jump out of your way in environments later on just to get out of your way.
You're not navigating claustrophobic environments anymore, you're running through massive serious sam style arenas.

It just doesn't feel like Doom anymore to me.
I wanna be John Mcclane from Die Hard 1, not the sequels.
Or Ash Williams from Evil Dead 1 & 2, not the TV series.

It's straight up a glowing spinning Doom guy helmet, not even some lore bullshit.
Also
>Lol story isn't a big deal in our game, smash cutscene doom guy doesn't care
>Also read these 200 pages of Codex info we had an intern write up about every named item, character and location in the game
>"I-I-I promise at best it doesn't read like Warhammer 40K Fanfic..."

[Spoiler] Remember when at E3 Bethesda talked about lore and making a "Doom Universe" post etental out of the pointless lore of Doom 2016? Who the fuck even cares. Who the GODDAMN FUCK CARES. WE CARED MORE ABOUT DOOMGUY'S FUCKING RABBIT THAN ANY OF THIS DEMONIC BULLSHIT THAT HAS NO BEARING ON THE GAMES and will probably never EVER intersect the actual story of the games. [/spoiler]

I was gonna write a whining post about how i'm broke as fuck and can't afford anything to give but instead i'm going to make a retarded doom themed card and print it out and give it to her. I guess it'll go down something like this.
