I made that comment about games that think they're deep and wait a minute... in DOOM 2016 (spoilers)... 

am I supposed to feel bad for destroying VEGA?
was that not... was that not a pastiche of "BUT AT WHAT COST?" stuff in AAA games?

wait is that BS Sam Haden says at the end supposed to be IMPACTFUL? like, is the narrative agreeing with him? like "oh no doom guy look at all the problems you caused hashtag deep who's the real monsters? you or the demons"

@LANthus You desroyed the VEGA facility, but DL'ed its backup into your suit ala Cortana.

And I thought the ending was just supposed to make you want to punch Hayden. But that's me.

@PaulFerence hate the fact Doom Guy just stands there maybe, but not Sam. like he's hateable, but I hated the scene more than a character from it. DoomGuy backing up VEGA also felt really... not in line with what he was doing earlier with the UACs property? it really felt like less of an action the character was doing and more a big piece of paper the dev team can point to to explain why they brought VEGA back when they do, and they will.

@LANthus I'd say it was because VEGA didn't seem like it was corrupted by the demons, unlike absolutely everything else. But that's my opinion.
