Talk:Doom The Final Secret/@comment-7706473-20140605105013

I was really excited because this was a doom pasta, and I hate to be that old bat, but...

1 - Cyberdemons are hardly the first enemy you face in the game; it'll be imps and zombie marines as far as the eye can see in e1m1. Cyberdemons are the big demons with the excellent cybernetics; to defeat them, you must shoot them until they die.

2 - Death Incarnate was Wolfenstein, not Doom. Sorry, but like Quake, the highest difficulty in Doom was Nightmare; maybe Death Incarnate is in the SNES port, though? I'm afraid I never played that!

3 - The narrator starts by telling us that nothing demonic will happen... And then the last act is several (possibly) demonic things happenening. :/

Sorry for starting with all of that, but Doom was one of the first real 'pc' games I played, one that wasn't some sort of text adventure, simulator, or weird rpg. I used to play it more then was healthy, radiating my skin with the glow from plasma... Kehehe. So, those complaints aside, how was this?

Interesting. For one thing - the narrator lives and triumphs, and I like that a heck of a lot more then the usual 'somehow I got killed by the game but I'm still typing??' malarky. Two - I felt the idea of the narrator trying to 'show up' their friends in a video game of all things was creepy and menacing, and made the fear feel more real. The game itself was suitably creepy until the end, and that's just because I can't take demons seriously as opponents. Blame my overconfidence perhaps.

But other than that... Well, like I said. It was really interesting, and I liked the unexpected ending a lot.
