Hahahaha no.
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
i mean doom has more concrete and proactive plans for dealing with demons than christianity does
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
The only thing they fear is you.

Also check out the album 'The Dark Side of Phobos.' Great Doom album. https://doom.ocremix.org/main.html
TheWhiteRat
Indeed they should. Christian music is good for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMoo2iTZxDg
Meltemi
Fun aside. One of the major designers for Doom was a Mormon who saw no conflict between his faith and the core gameplay: killing demons.
Irrevenant
That'd be Sandy Petersen.

I got my parents to buy me Welcome to Wolfenstein 3D because you get to kill Nazis and Doom 3D because you got to kill demons. Hahahhahaha

Pfft Doom, so 90's. Hellsinger is where it's at.

God doesn't like much champ. Have you read mans' version of G's commandments. Technically taking a poo is a sin.

If only I had an up to date laptop lol. Mine are dinosaurs or office laptops, only one can run OG skyrim and strategy games before 2017.
ElBarbu
Buy it now and download it later on

FYI, this game's "Official Soundtrack" was an insulting hack-job. Try to find versions of the actual in-game music instead; MUCH better.
Cocothegorilla
I was just digging through the OST and reading the comments and came across this lol
HelpTheWretched
Typically you can ignore commenters (and I am one) since we love our witch hunts. But the composer recently showed his receipts, and damn...
lysani
I've avoided buying the game after the crap they tried to pull by attempting to blame Mick Gordon for it.
HelpTheWretched
Good, I usually don't wade into gaming drama but I saw Mick's receipts, that was heinous stuff that could have ruined his career.
LazyBrownFox
Don't really game. Love music. Years this album's popped up. Listened a few months back; well fucking done. It's awesome to work to.

Dude used some instruments made of human bones, plus a modulated CHAINSAW in place of electric guitar on some tracks.
StellaMatutina
His other work is amazing too, check out killer instinct seasons 1 and 2

Well I mean, you slay demons from hell, and they fear you. So I would say it's very christian.
JimFromMarketing
I think there was a story of some grandma who played this game for that reason?
CptRobotNinja
My super conservative dad was all about Doom when I was a kid. Demon slaying is acceptable violence
DianNaoChong
A Mormon was on the originals dev team
atomfixes101
Well. Satan is from Christianity only, so “satanic” music is in fact Christian.

no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...” - Sir Terry Pratchett

IIRC the creator of the game is a devout Christian.

See personal life section https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Petersen
demoncatmara
He's got an awesome YouTube channel now
JustAnotherCynicToo
A developer, and mormon. But they said there's nothing more righteous that killing demons with a sawed off.
BurningVeryImportantThings
I belive he is Mormon "Petersen is a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints..."
PostmasterG
Yeah, but he only showed up 10 weeks before the release of doom, though he WAS all bout killing the demons etc...

Amazing fucking game. I’ve been away from gaming since the PS2 and I’m not good at controller aiming but wow
doctorwut02
Do the imps still have shapely asses?
demoncatmara
Some consoles support mouse and keyboard

Doom is an evil temptress attempting to ruin my productivity
HelpTheWretched
I had a similar gaming gap and a rough adjustment to the dual-stick FPS controls. Then one day it just clicked and made perfect sense.
T3NM1DG3TS
Does polygon pay you well?
saintchase
i mean it's not a bad take. Game is super user-friendly.
T3NM1DG3TS
Pfft, I didn’t mean any Ill will by it. I’m not particularly good at the game either, just seemed like a good opportunity to dig at polygon
Maverick8778
Likewise with the controller, still fun as hell
wasonceapotato
Shame how they did Mick Gordon on this
JStengah
Not on this, it was the sequel they fucked him over on, then blamed him for it being a mess.
JaXm
And so short-sighted too. Like, I don't think it's unrealistic to claim that the soundtracks to both of these games are as inseparable...
JaXm
... from the software as the ACTUAL game play. And further forays into the IP, without Mick Gordon are not going to be NEARLY as successful
lysani
Haven't bought any of the games because of it.
GreaterAias
Interesting read, but it is quite long and detailed: https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce

Summary?
GreaterAias
Go to the bottom of the article. Mick Gordon wrote a TLDR with his key points summarised!
StarFlowerKat
holy fucking shit. when are we burning id software down?
StarFlowerKat
or marty whatever his name is. it's not just a shame it's literally a crime, black and white contractual violation
GreaterAias
1) Like many, if you only read the "Doom Eternal OST Open Letter," written by Marty Stratton, you'd get the impression that Mick Gordon
GreaterAias
2) Completely shit the bed. However, Mick's statement shows there are two sides to every story, and that Marty really did him dirty...

Amazing read. Definitely take half an hour to read this.
gordy77
V religion mom of friend growing up made us explain d&d and terms like "undead" and whether the characters were heroes or not
FlatPlutoSociety
1) When I was a kid, my friend's super-Christian dad read the PH and told his son that he was only allowed to play Paladins or Clerics.
FlatPlutoSociety
2) Not sure he realized that the Paladins and Clerics worship gods very, very different from the Christian one, but we weren't about to ask.
gordy77
Years later I realised she was the only one who really believed in gods
JustFeedMePieDammit
Does she play now?
gordy77
Oh no, she just wanted to make sure we weren't doing something evil I guess, her sons in particular. She was sweet but very gullible.
UltrakittenC
not sure your age, but having grown up during satanic panic.. i would say that is a pretty decent response from her considering
UltrakittenC
could have just shut it down and stopped them from even hanging out with someone playing. I am still salty that happened to one of my friend
gordy77
I'm 46 now. I never played d&d with her boys but we talked about it. I was a bit older than her boys but they were the only kids around.
