Finally played 2016 and it's actually really fucking great.
I love the moment in the intro where Hayden says that everything was done for the betterment of mankind, and doomguy immediately looks at a mangled corpse in front of him as if to say "is this what you mean?", the sight angers him, and he smashes the interface. Some nice narrative design.
Love the game, it's basically an epic in video game form. You know how in these old myths and stories, like in the Epic of Gilgamesh, where they fight for several days and nights without stopping, then Enkidu the beast-man fucks a prostitute for a week straight or some shit and becomes a human, it's that kind of ridiculousness that was always present in Doom games, one guy overpowering forces of hell, and they just went with it and enhanced it by making it actually mythical. It works so well because Doomguy is already a mythical figure in gaming.
The game is pure fanservice, it's a great and faithful tribute, I think. Looks great, runs flawlessly, amazingly optimized, plays great, just pure fun, clearly made by fans. Some nice power fantasy carnage. I also like the whole argent thing, gives UAC some personality.
It's a liiiiitle bit easy, but so is original Doom, so it's alright.
