His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

It's not like Metal Gear or Fallout where there's a lot of story to go through, nor does it lend to discussion of characters like Overwatch due to the fact that every multiplayer character is just another faceless soldier.

It got its compliments and people still play it. It's just not a game that inspires much discussion.

I loved the game, bought it a couple days after release.

Doomguy's new backstory is absolutely awesome. It's so over-the-top badass, which fits perfectly with the rest of the game. In fact, Doomguy's backstory is probably my favorite part of the game. I wasn't expecting the lore of a Doom game to be so interesting.

Spoilers for those who haven't gotten far enough in the game
Doomguy is an ancient warrior who, for eons, has waged a holy crusade against the forces of evil. When his home dimension was taken over by demonic forces, he was trapped in hell, and began a rampage against evil. A Seraphim noticed how good he was at this, and bestowed upon him "terrible power and speed", which is why Doomguy runs so fast. Later, he received a set of enchanted armor (the Praetor suit) from someone in hell who turned traitor.

Doomguy, who used to be a simple space marine, is now a hyper-lethal instrument of the Divine, and whose sole purpose in life is to combat the forces of darkness, and stop any demonic incursions upon the mortal world should they occur. It's awesome.

People who finished the game can confirm - I avoided spoilers but heard rumours. From what I understand so far: You are indeed the same doom marine from the 90's Doom games.

I'm not sure Doomguy is the same guy from the original games.
Spoiler
Towards the end of the game, they elaborate on exactly how Doomguy was trapped in hell in the first place, and apparently his home dimension, Argent D'Nur, was taken over by demonic forces. Doomguy was once the leader of Argent D'Nur's protectors, the Night Sentinels. One of the Sentinels betrayed his dimension, allowing demonic forces to take it over. This apparently happened eons ago. If this is indeed the same Doomguy from the original games, then the events of those games weren't Doomguy's first encounter with demonic forces.

Spoiler
It's not explicitly stated that he was a Night Sentinel-- just that he had some connection to the group. IIRC time in Hell is also a lot longer than our reality, so a hundred years is equivalent to aeons. Most people see it as him kicking ass in Hell for so long (canonifying the .wads that people made for DOOM and DOOM 2) that God took notice and gave him powers of the angels. Eventually the Lords of Hell lured him to what would become his tomb and trapped in his sarcophagus, which is where he stayed until he was found by Olivia Pierce.

There's also a theory that Doomguy is the ancient warrior that you can find in DOOM 3.

Regardless of whether or not it's the same Doomguy, I love the approach they've taken to the lore of the game; the game's lore vaguely reminds me of Dark Souls, in that it is somewhat subject to interpretation.

Spoiler
I was aware of the stuff regarding the sarcophagus, Doomguy being blessed by Divine forces, and so forth. I covered some of it in my post prior to my reply to Nick.

I prefer it being the same Doomguy, because then it connects Doom 3 into the series instead of being this weird survival-horror standalone with the DOOM name. Then you can blame not being able to RIP AND TEAR on him just being some weak-ass (but still above average) marine.

Wait, could you explain how Doom 3 ties into it? When I was talking about it being the same Doomguy I was talking about Doom 1, 2, and 64. Doom 3 always struck me as a standalone reboot.

In your preferred interpretation, what is the connection to Doom 3? Are you thinking of the Marine from Doom 3 as being the same Doomguy in the new game, or something else?

They explain how the Soul Cube had been used before by an ancient Martian hero. With the Hell fuckery with time and dimension hopping, it's possible that the original Doomguy (1, 2, 64, 4) is actually the "Martian Hero" one jumped from the original dimension to the D3 one. IIRC you can find the Martian Hero's coffin in D3, meaning that at some point the original Doomguy would have eventually died some how or way.

I don't describe it that well, but there are people that explain it better on Youtube.

DOOM 3 is easily one of the best games ever made. No FPS had such a great atmosphere, scare factor, and rich lore D3 has. Plus every weapon is fun as fuck to use.
Have you tried Rage?

With actual good shooting mechanics.
