One problem with RAGE was that the enemies had sort of a delayed reaction when shot. So I hope that's improved. But beyond that, I think satisfying gore would feel even better. Maybe not as extreme as Brutal Doom, but blowing off chunks of the enemies would give me a boner.

Don't act like you don't want to blow off the upper body of an imp with your double-barrel shotgun. C'MON NOW.

Dude, I'm all for ridiculous gore. Not as cartoonish and excessive as Brutal Doom, but I definitely want my guns to do some damage!

Don't people and animals in real life have a delayed reaction when shot? I think it would be silly if you shot an enemy in Doom 4 and they instantly made a pain noise for every bullet that hit them. I think it would be much more dramatic if there was a slight delay and they reacted after the fact.

So? When does this actually start?

Well the kinetic impact is pretty much instant, as in when you get shot in the shoulder, the kick of the bullet hitting your shoulder is going to push your shoulder back, turning your upper body in that direction. Reactions like grabbing it in pain is delayed, yes. Screaming is a little more complicated. A shocked or startled yell when you hear the gun go off will be almost instant again, but yelling in pain will be delayed. If you've ever seen someone get shot or video of someone getting shot, if they start screaming and crying it's usually from the panic and realization of I'VE BEEN SHOT! rather than the actual pain.

Mystic weapons like the Unmakers would be badass. And their existence can be explained like this:

1. Demons made them for the same reason they infight: they hate each other.

2. They don't use them in the invasions because they're useless against anything not demonic.

3. They don't use them because their effectiveness on everything demonic makes them too dangerous to throw around; like our nukes. So rival factions just keep them around for the same reason humans keep nukes.

4. They're cool.

I actually like this reasoning. As long as they don't get out of hand with it. Just having one or two very powerful weapons like the D64 Unmaker. If you make it a whole class of weapons, they will feel common and lose that mystical value. Kind of like playing Goldeneye deathmatch on N64 with rocket launchers only. All of a sudden it's just ridiculous instead of a strategic and special weapon you rarely come across.
