That's a good point. I mean Doomguy WAS very clearly visible on the box art wearing a green outfit and a gray helmet, but the outfit appears to be made of cloth rather than steel, and he looks more like a football player than anything.

His modern appearance in full power armor was indeed only introduced with the 2016 reboot.

Possible, but in that case it might have actually helped them to first tie them up in a difficult and potentially expensive lawsuit in order to lower the purchase price. Sounds like something Microsoft would do...

But they generally have blue and gold armor, no?

The protagonist in Halo: Reach wears gray armor with blue accents and he looks just as badass as Master Chief, if not moreso.

It wasn't necessary for both to be green. Master Chief could've had a blue (or a red, or black, or silver) armor and he'd still be the same.

 

They look so damn similar, from the style and color of their armor down to their behavioral traits. Seems like Bungie simply saw the success that Doom had over their Marathon series and thought to themselves "you know what our next game needs? A massively overpowered super soldier in green high tech armor who spouts sarcastic one liners in the face of an overwhelming alien invasion" and went to town with that concept. And it worked like a charm, they cranked out six massively successful games before id/Bethesda decided it was time to reboot the Doom franchise 2016.

Perhaps it was payback for them to give Doomguy the Crucible in the reboot games (which looks a lot like the energy sword from Halo), but I can't help but think these two are essentially the same character.

Sounds about right. According to HowLongToBeat, the median time for a full playthrough is 16 hours for the main campaign (and approx. 22 hours when played at a leisurely pace). Doing all the sidequests and getting all achievements will take about 44 hours.

Either way, that's a lot of value for 3 bucks.

"No, no, we haven't actually seen any evidence of murder, we're just reporting it."

The El Salvador facility was already built in 2022 during Pres. Bukele's national crackdown on gang violence. Since it was only running at half capacity (and to ingratiate himself with Trump most likely), Bukele has offered to incarcerate deported gang members there, especially those who were refused by their home countries.

I've never seen that show so you tell me if this seems accurate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I actually think that could be quite entertaining.

Unfortunately I'm too stupid for A1111. I made these with ChatGPT.

Sounds about right. Six hours is crazy. Not quite speedrun territory but definitely not the norm. I’d say it’s at least 20 hours for a first run, and that’s without completing any of the side quests.

 

I'm sure you'll have no trouble recognizing who this is...
