Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/08/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet post-launch week dominated by nostalgia and community humor rather than fresh debate: fans are replaying cutscenes and lore rather than discovering new content.

Fond rewatching of the DLC's cutscenes

A notable share of this week's comments (~15%) simply revisit specific cutscene moments (timestamps, jokes, lines) rather than discuss anything new.

The 'Guts vs Doomguy' comparison resurfaces

Several comments (~8%) compare the bearded Slayer's look to Guts from Berserk, a recurring aesthetic comparison since the DLC's release.

« Why does doomguy look like guts😭 ID might know ball »

Glory kills, still a sore point

The topic of 'optional' glory kills resurfaces (~5%), a concern already flagged since the base game's launch rather than something new this week.

→ see "Glory kills scaled back", an ongoing debate since the DLC's launch
Nostalgia for id Software after the layoffs

A slice of comments still express sadness over the id/Bethesda layoffs, mixing compassion for staff with criticism of Microsoft/Xbox.

→ see "The id layoffs", a defining shock from July
« 1:10, nah, I absolutely agree. ID have been underdogs in the industry a few times over, but they always manage to create something new and amazing. The old Devs might be gone, but they created an amazing legacy. I find the layoffs deeply saddening. 😢 »

Theories about what's next (Slayer sealed in Hell)

A few fans (~5%) speculate about a sequel showing the Slayer sealed in Hell to bridge Revelations into DOOM 2016 — a theory new this week.

« The reason I'm still convinced that DOOM isn't dead and ID aren't done with Dark Ages is because I'm certain we'll see the Slayer getting sealed in hell as an ending to future DLC. In my mind it just makes sense to fully fill in that gap they've created to lead us smoothly into 2016. »

Top reactions and controversies

Euphoria over the reveal trailer

Dominant take
22 %

The reveal trailer sparked a massive wave of visceral enthusiasm: shouting, tears, comparisons to Eternal, and near-unanimous approval from the very first minutes of discussion.

« Literally in tears at the peak right now »
— @POWMedia17 · ♥ 1 k · translated · see original ↗

The canonical name 'Flynn Taggart'

Dominant take
15 %

The revelation that the Slayer's name is Flynn Taggart, taken from the 90s novels, became a running meme and constant source of excitement, cited hundreds of times across all periods.

« Can't believe we're technically getting a classic DOOM remake as a bonus with this one. »
— @BetonerickN · ♥ 203 · translated · see original ↗

The real meaning of Daisy the rabbit: guilt, not fatherhood

Controversy
10 %

A lasting controversy pits those who think the flashback girl is the Slayer's daughter against the majority insisting she's an innocent civilian killed by mistake, the source of his guilt and of Daisy as a support animal.

25 % She's his daughter / family retcon 75 % Unknown civilian, source of guilt

Sadness and anger over the id Software layoffs

Dominant take
9 %

News of massive layoffs at id/Bethesda right after launch triggered a wave of emotional support for developers and widespread anger at Microsoft/Xbox.

« 33 years of being at the forefront of developing IPs and tech that have fundamentally changed this industry. Xbox doesn't deserve the talent they have because they have no respect for legacy or loyalty for hard work. »
— @dougdynamo9398 · ♥ 337 · translated · see original ↗

Spear vs shield: a loved but contested mechanic

Controversy
8 %

The new hook-spear divides opinion: most love it for Eternal-style mobility, but a minority mourns the loss of Dark Ages' 'stand and fight' identity and finds the inputs too complex.

80 % Love the regained mobility 20 % Miss the 'stand and fight' identity','quote_refs':[],

The DLC's lack of replayability

Controversy
6 %

Despite the very positive reception, a growing number of players regret the lack of a level select or New Game+, making it hard to replay favorite fights after the first run.
