Make sure to read the FAQ as well.. Moderators reserve the right to interpret the rules as they see fit if something is borderline.


Doom is a series of sci-fi action/horror games from id software, starting with Doom in 1993, and continuing with Doom3 and Doom (2016).

In Doom, you play as a space marine tasked with defeating the unleashed demonic forces of Hell, using a variety of heavy weapons and your own skill against the invading hordes. Doom codified and revolutionized First-Person Shooters, and remains one of the most influential games in the genre.

Feel free to also discuss Doom-engine games such as Heretic, Hexen, and Strife, and any others. Please tag these posts with [game name], to make them easier to distinguish.

Reminder: Please use Post flairs to help others see what kind of content you're posting.

Doom opening door sound used in doctor who

Here is the audio of the door opening (in-game sound):

Here is the scene in the episode "The Satan Pit": (3:10 aprox)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWK9xmBdZrc

I just find it interesting that they used a sound from doom in an episode about hell. It is used more than one time during the episode, but this is the only clip I could find. And it's not added by the guy who posted the video, you can also hear in the episode in prime video

I will be replaying Doom 2016 after playing Doom Eternal a month ago do you think I will like Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal more!

It's been stated here a couple of times that once you play doom eternal it's very hard to get back into Doom 2016 and it's not as great do to it feeling a lot more dated.

Well I wanted to see how true that is and see if I would still like doom 2016 I am always honest in all games I play on how I feel so I would love to know do y'all think I would have a great experience would I like it more than Doom Eternal or would I realize it's not as good as I remember?

I will come back and tell my opinion.

New favourite level found

I've just done The Hunted on Plutonia. Amazing level. The maze layout, the fact there could be an archville around any corner. The creepy music. Amazing. Couldn't complete it without saves but given there's no health packs I'll take it.

Accidentally took an Xbox screenshot while killing an archvile. Turned out pretty badass.

So, am I crazy?

I’ve been listening to Doomguy, John Romero’s book, and re-reading Masters of Doom, so I’m pretty well-acquainted with the original concept for Quake. It might just be coincidence, but it seems to me that Hugo Martin knows this backstory well, and has been incorporating it into the Slayer. Quake was originally an RPG character, lived in a dark ages setting, supremely powerful, unshakably on the side of good/justice, had a hammer that acted EXACTLY like the one the Slayer uses in TAG 2, and even rode a dragon (as the slayer does in the Dark Ages trailer). Seeing as how Hugo has stated how much he loves deep lore, and is clearly a huge fan of original Doom (and old id in general, with many references to Commander Keen and even Quake skins in his Doom games), how likely is it that he’s subtly slipping in classic id ideas that never got a chance to happen?

The Switch version of Doom Eternal got a 1.15 update on Switch. Does it finally fix the Hell On Earth crash bug?

Was that bug finally fixed or does the game still crash sometimes in that level?
