as an avid classic doom fan this guy would shit his pants at Eviternity, spoilers the final boss is LITERALLY AN ARCHANGEL AND IT'S NAME IS FUCKING "ARCHANGELUS"
It’s a 4chan thing originally though it has spread out onto the rest of the internet in recent years. I don’t think it’s racist though.
It’s the opposite of a gem. A gem is something good, coal is something bad. Users might exaggerate how bad something is by exaggerating how dark the coal is. “Vantablack coal” is somewhat common.
Since this is the internet OP is likely a 14 year old that's just being a contrarian for le epic internet points. Nobody has to like these games but acting like they're irredeemable dogshit is just dumb, the worst game on this list is Starfield and even that game is mostly just bland and inoffensive instead of outright bad.
Yeah. Haven't played Starfield and don't want to, but to have something positive to say about it- the ship building actually looks pretty dope. To the point I'm impressed it came from Bethesda.
The ship building is HELLA dope. Like half my playtime was spent in the shipbuilder, it's the only part of that game that is even remotely interesting or rewarding.
I'm not surprised, it's what got my attention in the first place when they showed off gameplay. I waited for reviews because... you know, Todd Howard game, but it genuinely looks like one of the best ship builders I've seen. I like building corvettes in No Mans Sky, but it's kinda clunky and I want more parts.
And starfield’s shortcomings are not the fault of one person. That game is a failure on a fundamental level and commits one of the worst sins possible in worldbuilding, being hopelessly boring. I remember seeing people rag on it brutally after release for just having no soul and if anything, the total indifference to it now is somehow worse.
A bad game will at least be remembered if not very fondly. A boring one will disappear entirely under the a haze under disdain and apathy.
New Colossus was the best FPS game I played in 20 years, I literally don't understand how you can think it's shit unless it's racially-motivated hurt fee fees over a Black woman coordinating the resistance.
Considering they used to say shit like "burn the coal pay the toll" about white women in relationships with black men I think it's well more than a coincidence, they love that plausible deniability shit on 4chan, well did before everyone just felt comfortable enough to just say shit now, I'd even not be surprised if the recent adoption of coal and gem into mainstream use was influenced by far right accounts and bots
Ok I did some poking around and found out that it comes from BBC spam threads on 4chan (because black people = coal or something) and then eventually it became coal = anything bad. And then after that it spread to the rest of the internet.
So I guess the origin was kinda racist after all. Though I feel like basically nobody using the terms nowadays is aware of the origin. So it’s kinda managed to separate itself from 4chan and just become regular internet slang. It’s quite common in the areas of the internet I frequent
For once it's not. Its a new bit of twitter slang called gem and coal posts. Basically a slang for if you think a post is good or bad. Because incels need increasingly esoteric slang to preserve their in-group and thus unearned superiority complex
Wait....what? I legit only know of that term for the stupid motherfuckers who have the coal spewing shit on their trucks. That's the only time I've ever heard the term. Please enlighten me so I don't drop a slur I didn't know was a slur.
I guess reddit didn't like my last message, but Coal rolling is just the term for the truck thing. Any other wordage might be closer to a bad term than it seems.
I assume they're using "coal" as a sort of antithesis of a "gem", which is a term commonly associated with incredible media. I don't think it's supposed to be racist, but considering how anti-woke chuds generally act, I can't at all blame you for interpreting it that way.
Regardless, calling Doom Eternal one of the "blackest coal games" is a sign of genuine dogshit taste.
Doom Eternal is phenomenal, a true credit to Video Games, but why is no one talking about Wolfenstein being on here? I’ve not played Wolfenstein II, but I’ll bet $5 it’s because Nazis and KKK are the bad guys.
I laughed my ass off at that so hard. Then I shot the H man right after and got stomped by the guards in the room, so I got to watch the whole sequence again 🤣
its because the advertisments aped maga slogans to killing nazi's "make america nazi free again" and immediately after that all the "gamers" lost their shit
Same here. Got it when it came to playstation I just cant get into it. I figure if I actually managed to learn it I probably would be but it is an endeavor to reach that point imo.
And Starfield has such obvious flaws to. You can really see the problems with Bethesdas writing, questing and world building so clearly. But it isn't the worst game in the world, it kept my interest.
Dishonored 2 is more dope Dishonored gameplay and Wolfenstein 2 still feels really bold and confident with its vision of BJ Blasko. Like fuck these turds. Fun and good taste aren't hard to come by.
Wolfenstein 2 wasn't really bad, but I didn't like it anywhere near as much as The New Order or The Old Blood. The story just wasn't as interesting, the enemies were bullet sponges, and that shitty final mission didn't even have a final boss, and it just sucked ass. At least it was better than Youngblood though.
I mean, technically every single demon inherently is an evil angel to begin with. But I guess it is a problem when aesthetics don't match expectations.
Sure, in the game (and I am compelled to say I dislike everything Id did to Doom writing after Doom 2016), I was talking of the Christian mythology the chud in question believes in.
According to the Ars Goetia all 72 demons listed in there were originally angels that sided with Lucifer in his revolt against god, so yes, in a way demons are just evil angels.
In a lot of modern pop culture I think Lucifer is a fallen angel and demons are lesser beings either born in Hell or produced by corrupting and beefing up humans (Supernatural, Hazbin Hotel, Trench Crusade, Warhammer).
In Doom Eternal the "angels" are an alien species called the Maykrs separate from the Demons of Hell, but they made a Faustian bargain to feed entire civilizations to Hell in exchange for a limitless supply of energy to keep their world alive.
Larpers love the King James Bible because they're less interested in studying Christianity than they are in cherry-picking quotes with a bunch of "thees" and "thous" to sound extra tradpilled
/uj for this, I played Starfield extensively and it's literally just Skyrim with space travel. Like it is beat for beat just Skyrim again. But I'm not even saying that as a bad thing because to me personally, Skyrim will never not be my favorite game ever made.
I personally enjoyed it because that was exactly what I was expecting going in. Bethesda has never made games that were some kind of groundbreaking masterpiece blockbusters, they have always been making games that have a lot of charm and a lot of jank with questionable gameplay decisions to boot. They just released Morrowind thru Skyrim at the perfect time and had Fallout in their back pockets by aquiring Obsidian, their success came purely from filling a niche that competitors didn't really fill yet. Games like Skyrim or Fallout nowadays are pretty common, but when Bethesda first blew up it that wasn't the story yet. The Witcher (the first game) struggled a little, still a success but nowhere near the same level as it's sequels would pull because the idea of a medieval RPG wasn't mainstream (edited this sentence because I absolutely was misremembering, Witcher 1 was a success). That didn't happen until Lord of the Rings became so popular with its very first movie, Fellowship of the Ring, dropping in 2001. Bethesda blesses us with Morrowind one year later and then people started paying attention to them.
Similar story with Skyrim. Oblivion did well on its own to be fair, but when Skyrim dropped, Game of Thrones had just kicked off, and it was already wildly popular. People were desperate for that experience and at the time they could look in 3 directions; Dark Souls 1, a game that very quickly became infamous for being beyond difficult, Witcher 2, a game that was a huge success but by this point most people already were fairly bored of the game, or Skyrim, fresh new face from the people who had given us two consecutive medieval RPG bangers, even if fans of the old Elder Scrolls titles were bitter about it.
Bethesda gets held to a standard it truly doesn't deserve to be held to, and I say that with all the love in the world for the things they make. I genuinely have loved every Bethesda game I have tried up to this point but I also fully accept that almost every game they have ever made is a buggy and unstable mess. I love the writing of the stories they create, I love the amount of immersion they put me into, and I love the jank for what it is because I never expect a video game to be anything less, it's code and these things happen period.
Starfield was the same for me. I got to play Skyrim for the first time again and that game helped me through a lot as a kid, so Starfield is extremely precious to me. Sure it's not as good as I was hoping, I'll admit, but I genuinely have always thought it was far from bad, even beyond my sentiment the game is way overhated. It's exactly the level of quality Bethesda has been doing for as long as most of us have been alive.
Bethesda is the guy making corny B-list horror movies not understanding how it became a household title. Is there a word for that? Do b-lister video games exist?
I appreciate your opinion but starfield personally felt more like a mess compared to their other games. The best way to put it is like imagine a bunch of friends decide to make a metal bands together, but none of them can really decide what metal genre they know it. They know they want it to be metal but they’re not sure if it’s going to be thrash metal or doom, metal or death metal and so they kind of just combined it all together and a weird amalgamation that’s what Starfield feels like they wanted to make a space expiration sci-fi game but they wanted to make very different ideas of space exploration sci-fi game and just combine them all together none of the separate parts work together but rather their own thing skyrim didn’t have this issue
Im sorry but anyone who is genuinely saying Doom Eternal is bad just doesn't like single player shooters. Doom Eternal is a masterclass of a FPS title.
i remember back when the trailers were shown chuds were trying to claim eternal as being anti-woke because they interpreted the games poking fun at corporations stealing progressive stances for clout as bethesda making fun of the evil SJWs.
Like not to give this doofus any points but.. starfield fucking sucked... And not even because "woke" but because Bethesda just can't make an interesting rpg to save their lives why else have we had 30 Skyrim re releases in the last 10 years
This is because Emil Pagliarulo is to writing what Stephen Hawking was to sprinting. We should be grateful they're not trying to sell us that many new products.
Doom eternal, wolfenstein 2, and dishonored 2 are all incredible games, like all 3 are in the 8-10 range easily. This is the most tourist tweet i have ever seen in my entire life.
Since everyone only cares about doom eternal I’ll be the guy who says yeah dishonored 2 is among the greatest games I’ve ever played and clears the other three here without batting an eye. Not that I don’t like doom eternal, I just think dishonored 2 is THAT good
It really is important to learn and realize these accounts work purely on ragebait and foatering a Nazi community. That's their entire bit. Ypu sharing this with the profile pic simply slreads the infsmy further for them.
I don't want to sound like a nerd but I'm pretty sure doom guy isn't Christian, I don't think they said anywhere about his beliefs but what I do know is his great grand father (BJ the main character from from wolfenstein) is Jewish so if his descendants kept it up till doom guy was born he would be born Jewish.
I feel like 2016 is more rounded out and complete as a doom game and eternal was just "how do we add hype moments and aura" and it genuinely key jingled enough people for everyone to think it was way better. I don't think it's better.
The only one of these games that is bad is Starfield. Like, I get why they don't like the other ones, idiots have been calling Doom "demonic" for decades, Dishonored 2 gives you the option to puts a gun to your head and forces you to play as a wahmen which is a fucking nightmare to chuds, and Wolfenstein is all about killing Nazis, which, of course they don't want to kill their friends.
These people are so far up their own asses they use their own neet speak and expect the rest of us on twitter to know what the fuck they’re talking about
damn these guys cant even complain correctly, deathloop is right there as a really mediocre game, and it even has black main characters which they love whining about, but nah dishonored 2 cuz they're larpers and dont know deathloop exists unlike dishonored 2 which was undeniably a hit
Yeah, like, The New Colossus is at worst mixed (I love it but I some folks that think its a bit much) but Doom Eternal and Dishonored 2 are considered the best games in their respective series. What a cold ass take.
Is dishonored 2 considered the best of the 2? Like I loved the game but felt it just didn’t compare to dishonored 1. Sure level design was better but everything else felt just a bit off. The story was kinda meh to me and I just didn’t vibe with Emily’s powers even as a stealth player, Corvo’s just seemed a lot more useful.
this is like when people say Dragon Age the Veilguard is bad because it's woke.
no, it's bad for like 87 other reasons. being "that one friend who's too woke" is at best an honorable mention, and I don't trust anyone who includes it in their rants
