>BJ Blazkowicz spent his life fighting a losing war in spite of all his efforts, left wondering if there's anything good left in the world worth saving after the Nazis take over, and goes from battle to battle searching for a purposeful death, even convinced he doesn't deserve to be happy
>Ranger has been trapped fighting endless deathmatches for two decades, has forgotten the names of his children, and even wonders if the Lovecraftian abominations he's been exposed to has just made him imagine his family
>Doom Marine may or may not be the Doom 1/2/64 Doomguy, but at the bare minimum has been fighting the legions of hell for god knows how long, was betrayed and trapped in a sarcophagus, and once his latest assault on hell was complete
All the classic FPS heroes are living traumatized, miserable lives or are just MIA.

Duke has it worse.

Irrelevant to the topic at hand.
>>389049398
No, it's pretty relevant.
You're either a relevant presence in the scene, like Doom4guy or BJ, but your existence is torturous, or you haven't had anything of note in years(e.g. Gordon Freeman, Lo Wang basically crashing and burning with SW2 after the decent but bittersweet SW reboot)
>>389049549
Nice arbitrary rules. But fine, I'll play along: DN3D World Tour, a new addition to Duke's best game and it was great.
>He thinks Doomguy doesn't enjoy his work
being sent to hell for eternity is literally his heaven
>>389049701
Being good at your job doesn't mean you enjoy it.
>>389048061
He's on the wrong side.
I think the Doomslayer enjoys wrecking Hell over and over again. After all, he could have just said fuck it and left things well enough alone, but he chose to fuck shit up some more after being released from his prison.
>>389049673
no it was not
it broke two decades of mods and maps and there was a huge shitfest between gearbox and the creator of eduke32 about it
plus it didn't even have the expansions, but i'm not 100% on that so correct me if i'm wrong
>>389050254
I'm not talking about that, for fuck's sake. I'm talking about the new content it offered, episode 5. It was good and don't be a contrarian faggot and claim it wasn't.
>no john you are the nazis
Truly we are The New Colossus
>>389050550
I don't get it, what is this trying to prove? We already know the Fergus/Wyatt choice is body transplant/power armor.
>>389048061
Who the fuck is Ranger
>>389050751
Ranger = Quakeguy
Bitterman = Quake2guy
Sarge = Quake3guy
Kane = Quake4guy
>MIT graduate
>Had to stay awake for 40 hours in a city-sized facility fighting with op aliens, government agents and military
>Life is constantly being watched and controlled by a creepy old """""man"""""
>Has a 10 gf but can't get it on cuz a universe travelling civ won't leave him alone.
He's the most miserable.
>>389050358
>removes the expansions
>adds alternate sounds and effects that sound/look like shit
>more expensive than the Megaton edition
Gearbox is a shithole and everything bad happening to them is just karma doing its job
>>389051483
>Long awaited sequel is just a bunch of text, from a former writer
>>389051862
>which former writer tried telling everyone its a fanfic
>>389052032
Gives him some legal wiggle room, and obviously given the nature of Valve development and the fact that none of the writers are there anymore, if and when we see anything Half-Life related it might not follow that roadmap.
>>389052548
>Gives him some legal wiggle room
yea
>the fact that none of the writers are there anymore
nah
I think HL3 has more possibility of happening now than ever desu with 3 new vr games and a hl movie already confirmed coming.
>>389051483
>Had to stay awake for 40 hours
40 hours is maneagable if you're commited though, not saying its not though of course
>Life is constantly being watched
He doesnt gets a life anymore
For all we know, from his point of view he could've been transported straight from the end of HL1 to the beggining of HL2 with not even time to rest, now that would be fucked up.
And i wouldn't call Alyx a 10
And GF is highly questionable considering the ending ofHL3

Honestly I imagine his "stasis" lets him sleep or at least keeps him well-rested.
>Ranger
>Slipgate Marine
What did they mean by this?
>>389057468
Maybe he's a marine whose name is Ranger.
>>389057468
He has forgotten even his own name.
