So who were the Night Sentinels? Were they equally pissed guys at hell? Did they come from the original Doom universe or did Doomguy find them in hell?
>>
>>344960947

They were a organization of guardians protecting the wraiths, one of them sold out and let the legion of doom through their barriers so their kingdom fell.

Who the fuck the angel who gave doom guy the advanced armor is a bigger mystery.
>>
>>344961247
It wasn't an angel that gave him the armor, it was a traitorous demon.

The seraphim gave Doomguy "unmatched strength and speed," a demon gave him the armor, he gave himself a really bad attitude.

It's implied that Doomguy is the original Doomguy, but that the Night Sentinels were aliens native to Argent D'Nur, so one can assume that at some point Doomguy (that is to say vanilla doomguy without the praetor suit or the heavenly backing) left Hell after the events of Dooms 1, 2, and 64 and decided to hang with some aliens and taught them how to hunt demons.

Something happened on Argent D'nur (allegedly one of the night sentinels made a deal with a demon) that caused Argent D'nur to get overrun by demons and actually get teleported in to Hell. It was this that spurred Doomguy in to his legendary rampage that's spoken of in the Slayer's Testament.

A lot of people theorize that Doom Slayer is actually an Argent D'Nur native and isn't the original Doomguy, but this doesn't really make sense since at the beginning of Doom 4 he's established to be human, can read and understand English, immediately knows how to use every UAC firearm, and even acknowledges that it's fucking ridiculous that there's a chainsaw on Mars again.

Doom Slayer is Doomguy that started an alien club and got so pissed off when demons ruined his shit again that he went on a rampage so fucking awesome that angels were like "we need to get in on this."
>>
>>344961247
A demon gave him the armor after he killed a fuckload of his friends in exchange for not tearing off his head and using it as a kickball
>>
>>344961729
So they were from a different universe?

Neat.

Also, the way the elite guards died in D44M showed how retarded the UAC is.
>>
Where do I go to read up on this fresh spicy hot Doom lore?
>>
>>344962049
essentially, yeah

doom 4 takes place in a parallel universe entirely , though it stars the original doomguy

the slayers testaments state that Doomguy's lasted "for eons across dimensions" which a lot of people have chosen to interpret as meaning that "all wads are canon." id software has given coy replies to this question implying that this is the case

that's why doomguy is so "done with" everything taking place in doom 4. he's done it all before and then some. as far as he's concerned this is just another bullshit universe for him to fight through and he wants to get it over with as quickly as possible

the slayers testaments also say that doomguy is effectively immortal with the praetor suit having "adamantine strength" and doomguy himself possessing a "soul scorched beyond ascension"

the game's lore is super cool if you give it a few minutes

>Pulling out a lot of shit out of your ass: The post


Its NEVER fucking implied that this doomguy is the same as the original doomguy, never, not even slightly implied, his story starts in argent d'nur and finishes on current events.

>but this doesn't really make sense since at the beginning of Doom 4 he's established to be human

He's not, youre pulling this out of your ass.

>can read and understand English,

How do you know he can? He literally doesnt make a sound.

Also this is fucking nitpicking, they're not going to present the game's plot in a fucking alien language.

Here im gonna fucking obliterate your argument right now: The slayer's testament, voice recorded by a DEMON is in fucking english. Is english the lingua franka of hell?

>immediately knows how to use every UAC firearm

Its called convenience you fucking nitpicker just like how gordon freeman can perfectly operate alien weaponry he has never seen before with special forces expertise despite being a fucking physics guy

Yes it is. Both the Slayer's Testaments and the UAC lore files on the Doom Slayer match events that take place in the first two doom games. The ending of Doom 64 where doomguy decides to stay in Hell is also explicitly referenced. The Icon of Sin is also in one of the stages in the Titan's Realm.


>but this doesn't really make sense since at the beginning of Doom 4 he's established to be human

You literally see him naked from the neck down.

>can read and understand English

He demonstrates comprehensive understanding of multiple pieces of UAC technology including computer access panels.

>

And you're calling ME a nitpicker?

>What? Literally how? He doesn't speaks, nigga, the logs are not written by him, ffs. Stop pulling shit out of your ass

upon picking up the chainsaw, he looks it over and shrugs before pulling the starter cable

>>
>>344961729
>Doom Slayer is actually an Argent D'Nur native and isn't the original Doomguy

Didn't the UAC find the ancient remnants of the Tower of Babel with a dead Cyberdemon underneath it? And isn't the Titan basically the Icon of Sin? My understanding was that after shutting down the portal by defeating the icon, Doomguy stayed in Hell and the Sentinels found him there and recruited him. The chronology is weird because it would place the invasion of Doom1 in the ancient past but stranger things have happened.

>>344962694
>Is english the lingua franka of hell?

>>344962839

Again how do you know?

he destroyed the tubes, he didnt "gently removed them", that could be used to say he doesn't actually understand it.

And why did you ignored the bit about the slayer's testament being in english?

I know why you did it: Because it destroys your entire argument you fucking dumbass.

I could list over 1000 examples of media that inexplicably has english present, you know why? Because its the most widely spoken language in the world, so most stories are presented in said language so that the viewer can understand them. it wouldnt be such a fucking fun game if you played as a cave man listening to gibberish sounds and trying to figure out how do guns work.


For fucks sake, liars like you make me fucking mad.
>>
>>344963039
>And isn't the Titan basically the Icon of Sin?
That's open to interpretation. The corpse of the Titan looks a lot like the Icon of Sin, but you also see a different corpse later in the same level that looks exactly like the icon of sin.
>>
>>344963062
>he destroyed the tubes, he didnt "gently removed them", that could be used to say he doesn't actually understand it.

He understood alright. The pause he takes before destroying the last filter was to make sure Samuel saw every moment of it. You could feel it in the way he curled his fingers, it was mocking Samuel and saying "Fuck you, this machine is never seeing the light of day again"
>>
>>344963062
again, there are several points in the game where Doomguy uses computer panels that have english displays

remember when he hesitates before shutting down Vega and decides to back him up before doing so? If Doomguy doesn't understand English, how would he make that decision?

Oh waaaaait, you didn't play the game, so you clearly never noticed that.
>>
>>344963062
In what sense did he lie?
>>
>>344963062
>he destroyed the tubes, he didnt "gently removed them", that could be used to say he doesn't actually understand it.
Samuel Hayden pleas to Doomguy to not destroy the Argent cables and Doomguy hesitates twice, only opting to destroy the cables once Hayden says "for the good of mankind" and "we are capable of controlling it."

Doomguy directly responds to Hayden's dialogue several times during the game. He hesitates when Hayden asks him to not destroy the argent purifiers. He gets visibly angry and shaken when Hayden says "for the good of mankind" while Doomguy is looking at a mutilated corpse. Hayden tells Doomguy that he is capable of controlling Hell's resources which makes Doomguy upset and more violent in destroying the filters.

You're talking out your ass. Play the game before you start calling people liars.

No its not

"PULLING OUT OF YOUR ASS" alert is ringing again, buddy.

They simply say that he has been wrecking hell's shit for a long time.

Elves are also very similar to humans physically except for the ears, are you trying to say that elves are humans?

Asaris are physically identical to human women except for the head tentacles and the blue skin

Do you even know what "Humanoid" means?

Sure he could even look 100% human but that doesnt mean he comes from the earth.


And again the english part is called CONVENIENCE, the game wouldnt be fun if it were something like

"djfhdsajrfhauerhfuiasfheaniurlahsfkcmasdfdhjsakdaslhdkjsahdklwjadhwqueudwqdnlsakfndajrehafasjf" whenever a character spoke.

And yes im calling you a nitpicker because you're saying that the guy showing perfect handling of modern weapons is 100% that he is the original doomguy, despite being a fuckload of games where characters inexplicably know their way around completely alien weapons. are those incarnations of doom guy as well?

As for the references: Yeah theres also a soulcube present, so is the doomguy from 3 the same as all of those doom guys? Do you even fucking know how many games reference previous entries on their sagas?

Isnt there a skyrim reference too? So does it tkaes place in the same universe as skyrim? According to your logic it does.

And "shrugging and pulling the cord" doesnt equal saying "Man why the fuck is there a chainsaw in mars AGAIN?"

Just admit youre pulling everything from your ass, youre embarrasing yourself.

Nice samefagging.

Also, the quotes are from the codex (Since you know, doomguy doesn't speaks).

You're saying that he took the chainsaw and he said how crazy it was to have another chainsaw in mars again just like he had seen in doom 1.

He literally does not says this, he doesnt says anything, he just grabs it and makes some hand gesture.

You're adding words into all of his gestures and then getting mad when somebody tells you how you cant actually use that as factual information to validate your "script", and you're calling me autistic?
>>
>>344963778
There is no evidence either way honestly, but it makes it more interesting that it is the same Doomguy. It gives a reason why he is so pissed at the UAC and his general "Fuck off" attitude to everything (Except VEGA who is willing to sacrafice himself to save this universe)

Can we agree on this?

>In this reboot, this silent protagonist is referred to by Hell's forces as the Doom Slayer; a legendary warrior and sole surviving member of an order of knights known as the Night Sentinels, tasked with protecting their home and deities, the Wraiths, from Hell. Contrary to previous incarnations, this version is even more vaguely characterized: the marine is never seen nor heard other than from first person, and other than an early shot of the marine's arm revealing a Caucasian skin color and the game lore texts referring to its gender as a "he", practically no details are revealed

>>344964167
>Prior to the game's events, the Doom Slayer and his brothers-in-arms were the protectors of a land known as Argent D'Nur, until a member of the Sentinels betrayed them in exchange for the resurrection of his dead son, who ended up brought back as the Icon of Sin (the final boss in Doom 2). The land would then be consumed and became Hell's energy resource for traversing across dimensions. Enraged, the Doom Slayer nearly tore all of Hell down as he defeated countless waves of demons and Titans, wearing a green suit of enchanted power armor and light grey helmet gifted to him by a "wretch". Eventually, the Doom Slayer was sealed away in an enchanted sarcophagus by the terrified remainder of Hell's inhabitants until he was collected by UAC Mars Director Dr. Samuel Hayden, keeping him sealed in his private labs as they reverse-engineered his equipment.

Not to mention his pet bunny being put on a spike.

I definitely got the impression that it's the same Doom Marine as from the original games, but somehow ascended to become an avatar of pure rage against the armies of hell. The Codex entries describe some of his previous battles (including the destruction of the Icon of Sin I believe), and that he, somehow, someway, is always there whenever Hell invades, the same as ever ready to rip them to shreds.

One tidbit I found especially interesting was how one of the testaments makes mention of the Doom Marine being empowered by seraphim, and that he's the only one capable of drawing strength from his fallen foes. I imagine this is basically the lore explanation for why he's now such a brute with his hands (whereas previously melee attacks were practically useless), and maybe a not-too-serious nod to gaining health from glory kills.

I'm on my second playthrough myself, and will probably gain more clarity from actually exploring thoroughly, but I kind of really dig this. It meshes really well with how the Doom community views the Doomguy anyways.

If Doomguy couldn't read or understand English, why did he bother reading the panel right next to the Praetor Suit in the beginning of the game, how could he figure out how to back up VEGA, and how could he have operated ANY piece of technology on Mars?

It could always be that literally replicated EVERYTHING about it.

Its pretty clear that the armor cant be made with human technology, the UAC has the pinnacle of human technology and they dont even know exactly what the armor is made from.

Also the narrator at the beginning of the game, sounds pretty demonic/not human and he's giving doomguy the armor. thats when he says he'll be more terrible than the demons.

It's not written. He touches a thing and a voice speaks it. The suits on-board computer could be transcribing it or even interfacing with whatever computer equivalent hell has.

It's also worth noting that when the suit powers on the first time, it briefly shows alien characters before switching to English.
>>
>>344965546

Exactly.

Theyre not going to have the guy giving you the objectives speak in some alien tongue.

The entire game is in english so that the player can understand it.

>>344965607

Of course he's superficially human looking but that doesn't mean he's human since the lore in THIS game says he comes from argent d'nur which is clearly NOT earth, also all of the other night sentinels had human features.

But then why are the markings in English? Either way it shows that the game isn't showing what's actually alien text as English for the sake of the player, English is Doom Marines preferred language.

I think that it was a human suit that was enhanced after it was completed.

You shouldnt say "people" when its literally just 1 autistic tryhard.

Its not confirmed that he's the original doomguy and this guy has an entire lore of his own, the fact that he (you) made up shit like "doom guy acknowledging how ridiculous it is to have a chainsaw on mars again" just shows whos the real fanfic writer here.

English is the suits default language. The alien stuff probably has to do with the alien enhancements on it.

i'd say its more like doomguy needs ammo so he looks up to the sky and says "ay j-man can ya spot me some buckshot" and jesus h christ himself shows up and says "only if you manage to pull a wicked sick stunt"

and so doomguy uses a chainsaw to stunt on the demons and jesus flips his shit and gives him free ammo

>Someone put in a lot of effort into the story and those codex entries

I'll never understand this. It's fucking Doom. All the story they needed was "Demons are invading again, go kill them".

But no, it was REALLY important that they lock you in those unskippable scripted events to explain all that shit about mining Hell for resources. Because you really care about what some asshole robot and his anorexic lady friend have to say.

And I swear half the codex entries are just "Argent this, Argent that". At least be like Far Cry Blood Dragon and try to make those funny.

It is funny. Unless you're a sperg and try to actually evaluate the lore in context of previous entries

I had always thought that at least half the lore in 4 was Hell's bullshit interpretation of more mundane things.

I suppose I'm wrong, now.

Other than the forced sections, the story IS basically that.

Besides, the codex entries do get a little bit silly if you read them properly, like >>344967054

Stop saying "Nobody here is on your side" when its literally just you you fucking faggot. OK doomguy speaks english cool that still doesnt proves shit anywhere because demons also seem to speak english and also every other fucking fictional universe has ALIENS speaking in fucking english but I dont see you saying its 100% proof that english is the mother language of the universe.

Like youre so fucking autistic you cant understand what suspension of disbelief is.

Demons and doomguy speaking and understanding english is literally just that, suspension of disbelief, you cant present the game in a language no fucking player could understand.

What instances are there in DOOM 4 of demons talking when they're not explicitly communicating with humans?

>>344967657

Its not "explicitly stated" you gigantic nigger, explicitly stated would be saying "This guy right here had already fucked up a hell invasion, in a different dimension, yeah those UAC guys also opened a hell portal there and this guy stopped it all and went to hell and kicked hell's ass and then demons invaded earth and he kicked their ass again...its the same guy"

Thats what "explicitly stated" means, whats on the actual lore are just ambiguous statements, the actual explicit lore says he was a night sentinel from argent d'nur which is clearly NOT earth but somehow you keep insisting thats not what it says.

And youre the autistic who's trying to write a script for a fucking gesture.

Like just answer me this: Do you know that "chainsaws on mars are ridiculous" are literally a DOOM MEME since doom 1, you do know this, right? Just say yes or no.

>>344967681

The slayer's testaments im pretty sure they didnt recorded them for humans. but its english because I dont know of any human person in real life who speaks demonic.

"autistic faggot" you scream, but not too loud, because you don't want to wake your mother in the next room. poor old girl's pushing 70 years old now. she needs her sleep. let her have her brief respite from the reality she has to suffer through every day where she needs to care for her 35 year old virgin son because some letter from the government says he's incapable of working.

But that's not an instance of demons talking. For all we know it might be transmitting the information straight to his mind and his mind is interpreting it as English, or the device that plays it automatically makes itself understandable to the listener.
>>
>>344967948

And you're assuming that the demons that wrote that had completely accurate information.
>>
>>344968159

I have absolutely no issue with the first thing.

I have an issue when they try to establish say interpretation as canon, 100% fact, and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Sure man I guess you could also say the bullets that come out from guns are actually made of rainbows, if that floats your boat.

So now we're saying that the game lore cant be trusted?

Yeah we just crossed those grounds.

"The game lore is wrong, it has to be what I want it to be!"

Next youre gonna say something like "I know that the hobbit says that bilbo took the ring from gollum but how do we know he wasnt lying? maybe he killed sauron to get it, yeah thats definitely what happened"

The guns have codex entries that explain exactly how they operate. The contraptions in hell don't exactly have a UAC operators manual to go with them.

well doom 3 guy (rookie) isnt the doomguy, doom 3 is a prequel to the original doom, doom guy comes after the events of doom 3 and tries to figure out wtf is going on, then after coming back form hell the demons already started attacking earth, killing his pet rabbit and throwing him into a murderous rampage to make them pay for it, he cleaned up the mess again and decided to stay in hell because he believed the only way to achieve peace was to kill them all, this is when every custom doom wad happened, and eventually he was trapped away (i presume by the demons or someone else) and was released again after the demons returned
by Samuel Hayden (the ceo of mars or whatever) because you were the only one that could stop them
>>
>>344972036
I know that, I was just examining their personalities.
>>
>>344972241
well in that case, i doubt he had any idea he was saving humanity in doom 1, he was just wrong place wrong time trying to get home, but then home was overrun by demons killing evertything he loved, so he decided the best thing for humanity was to make sure this never happens again by killing them all and he does this for as long as he can until captured, and then awake to a CEO telling him that this was for the best of humanity when all he says is death and destruction of humans all around him, he obviously gives a shit about life above all else, that's why he backed up that sentient ai right before he died, doom guy is about saving lives not taking them, he is just completely brutal and unforgiving in the way he saves lives (sorta ends justifies the means sort of thing) which is really what Samuel was trying to do, he may have saved countless lives on earth that would have died without argent energy, like really maybe the world was at the threat of complete and total collapse of society and nuclear war was very very imminent and then boom, infinite power source, not more arguing and fighting over resources because it is literally unlimited
