honey wake up, new doom analysis video just dropped

[thenendo]

It seems Decino's analysis videos are now so thorough that they leave us with both oral and rectal pain.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't belong in this world..."

That line always seemed more appropriate for the first demon artifact, since that's found in a UAC facility. One has to ask, though. How did the UAC get its hands on an otherworldly artifact, and what were they planning to do with it?

Unmaker from Doom 64 is still one of the most satisfying weapons I've ever used in any FPS. Once you get all 3 Demon Keys, shit. You literally feel like a bringer of death.

Idk why but the “You have a feeling that it wasn’t to be touched” followed with the grinning doomguy face absolutely killed me

[Portponky]

My wife walked in whilst you were reading your patrons and she said that you need to see a doctor. So much agonizing pain.

I was always underwhelmed by Doom 64's BFG, but the Unmaker makes up for it by being even more overpowered and satisfying. To me, it's ecstatic to mow through the last maps with a fully upgraded one. Too bad it felt awful to use in Eternal, but it does have some good places to use in TAG 1 and 2 due to the DLC's being more close-quarters than the actual campaign.

The Unmaker.
Pure demon technology, inspired by laser weaponry, and refined by their profane artefacts.
Its destructive potential... is staggering.

for us doom 64 nerds, we can just send this to those newbies that still ask if the unmaker is better than the bfg without having to do massive wall texts :)

epic video as always!

[zarnox]

I'm looking forward to plenty of Doom 64 videos from you now. The rooms above rooms thing would be a great one to analyse.

I just realized in 6:29 that AGONIZING RECTAL PAIN, now united with his best friend, AGONIZING ORAL PAIN.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't belong in this world. . ."

Maybe it's just me but I always found that line rather sinister and creepy. 😯


I'd really like to see the *demonic* counterpart of the Unmaker return in a future DOOM game. See how gameplay-wise it could differ from its DOOM Eternal angelic "Maykr" counterpart. 😗

2:20 My parents when I've been sitting around playing Doom all day.

[topsu]

Never thought the unmaker is this op. Loved the vid

[Spectacles_]

_Heck yeah, _ I can't wait to see you cover more Doom 64 stuff! Its Pain Elementals alone increase the horror 76%.

5:58, excellent sound effects, felt like I was really playing the game

[HarkovsFolly]

A great analysis video - I never played Doom 64 much so I always wondered what this weapon was about. I’m also just imagining what an Okuplok playthrough would be like with one of these! I wonder if this would be more effective for crowd control by clearing gaps for movement.

[Final-Ts]

Thank you so much for doing this! I know you played 64 here (I watched it) but never thought you'd include 64 stuff into a Yellow vid. I've ALWAYS wanted to know the detailed skinny on the Unmaker, since 1999 to be exact. So it's been a 23 year trek since I first experienced the game and seeing this is very cool! Thanks Decino, you're The Best! 😃

I remember paying $60 for this game when it came out, or should I say, my parents paying $60 for it. Playing Doom on your home TV was really amazing, compared to the tiny 90's PC monitor.

I love Doom 64. It was so different from the rest of the series and at the same time familiar. And I love that Eternal made this the official end of the classic trilogy.
