I think you want this thread.

 

Actually, a Doom sandbox game doesn't sound bad at all.

I support this thread more because Llyr kicked me out of his fanclub.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

In the ending sequence you have to escort a REALLY BIG archangel to the cyberdemon, and the angel gives it a sucker punch, and then game over.

OVERVIEW

 

The ACID CAVE is filled with ACID PITS and SKULLS and SPINES

 

The goal of this area is to kill the SPIDER MASTERMIND

 

The secondary goal of this area is to locate ammo and health packs

 

RELATED QUESTS

 

Spider Mastermind blood sample can be exchanged with COMMANDER JIM ANNIHILATOR (Barricaded Area, Ruined Shopping Center) for VIRULENT BIO-DEMON SMASHING GLOVES. Then he drinks the blood because he thinks he'll get powers but it just makes his brains melt and ooze out of his face.

The thread with the most replies wins.

 

 

 

And this is NOT good news, IMO. ID Software was one of only three major remaining independant developers, and this signifies and end to an era. Now there is only Valve and Epic games remaining.

id propably just ran out of money, so Carmack thought getting bought is the better option than going all 3D Realms.

Doom RPG please thx.

 

There is one already and it's official.

 

I don't really care much for the new id Software, they haven't really made anything good lately and Doom 3 was a pile of monster closets. The sad part will be classic franchises getting dragged out from their well deserved resting places only to be molested and turned into something unnatural like a person who stares straight into your soul while you feed them the conversation pie.

 

I doubt that this will affect Rage too much, if anything it will get them more funding.

 

EDIT: Props to them for all their Linux stuff, I'm sure Beth will kill that ASAP.

In the announcement it was made pretty clear that id will continue to operate independently, so I doubt Mac and Linux users will have anything to fear.

From a business stand point it does sound like a big money sink. Guess we'll see. Maybe Obsidian will get to use some of their awesome tech for future Beth-Obs projects?

Nah, that's Hellgate: London.

 

BethSoft should have bought id Software before making Fallout 3. At least then it could've been a decent old skool shooter.

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Bethesda buys id = EPIC FAIL. Next, we will see EA buying both Bethesda and Blizzard (or is that Activision/ Blizzard? :rolleyes:) and then we'll have all our games coming from the same ****hole. They will probably fire 90% of all personnel and have the remaining work on FIFA 2012, and I bet their shareholders will be happy about the profits.

At least no one can buy Valve(not publicly owned) and as bad as Activision is, it's a giant money anchor keeping anyone from buying Blizzard.

 

It would be interesting to see the bigger publishers fall apart and all the small developers pour out, but that's not going to happen any time soon :rolleyes:
