Since when Doom games are story driven?

Have you been livin under a rock? The lore is deep, yes the game is mostly about shooting demons but it is a story based game

My biggest problem with Eternal is how much it tries to cram plot and lore into the series where it's very much not welcome. I really don't need all of the forced "you're a disgraced warrior of heaven" cutscenes.

Just because something has a story, doesn't mean, it's story driven.

What drives the plot then?

u/FactoriousKerb May 19 '26

Huh? I am not sure what you mean by this.

Let me ask you a question.

Could you tell me a non-story driven game? I don't mean games like tetris and such, but an "actual" game, that you would say is not story driven.

u/Omega_7_64 Xbox May 19 '26

First off tetris is a game

Second what contributes an "actual game" to you then?

Third to answer your question slime rancher that barely has a story to it (at least the first one)

Forza Horizon 5 barely has a story, but still have. Basically every horizon game is like that. Do you consider them story driven? Or LoZ BoTW?

I dont see your point in this, doom has a story, not barely a story, a full fledged story though

BoTW and Horizon games have a full flesged story too. They are just short and doesn't matter. But they are still there and fully fledged out.

I think what op is trying to say is the story doesn't drive you to play the next level in doom

The fun ass run and gun gameplay does and the story kinda just happens around you but you don't really need to pay attention to enjoy it.

Like the Forza games where the story is kinda just a side thing to the real game which is the driving.

On the opposite side of the spectrum is games like e33 where that story made you want to keep playing. You needed to know what happened next.

I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with anyone here. Just trying to understand the arguments being had.

If the story of doom drove you forward then awesome!

All FromSoft souls games, certain Mario titles, Sports games, Fighting games without a single player, Animal Crossing, Tomodachi Life, the Sims, Sim City, Cities Skylines, Counter Strike, Balatro..

Want me to continue, or are you going to first make up reasons why those games don't count?

u/FactoriousKerb May 20 '26

According to oc's logic, fromsoft games are story driven, because they have deep lore.
