How could anyone ask you to pick between two iconic tools of ultraviolence.
What kind of monster would.
What’s better: Doom’s shotgun or Doom 2’s super shotgun?
Doom’s shotgun
Boom chak-chik.
It cuts through swarms.
It can dump ammo into big faces.
It can even pick at a distance.
And it makes that noise.
It’s monstrous yet almost feels elegant.
Doom 2’s super shotgun
“That thing you adore?
We’ve made a bigger, fancier, more murderous version.”
The audience rise from their seats in a standing ovation then fall to their knees, weeping.
They really did it.
It’s astonishing, of course.
And as a bonus, you get that double-barreled reload animation.
You might won’t use it always.
you might’t, not with the pace it eats ammo, but maybe you’d want to.
Doesn’t it feel overkill, maybe?
But who would entertain these questions when knee-deep in the dead?
A fool desperately hoping to find angles on an impossible question.
But which is better?
It’s perfect, it’s just perfect.
But what do you think, reader dear?
