For The DooM Guy, the same level of regeneration as a Cowadoody hero has is practically insignificant.
Think about it, The DooM Guy shrugs off demonic energy bolts without much more than a grunt of dissatisfaction to show for it, even homing hell rockets. By comparison to other vidya protagonists, he must have health in the hundreds of thousands. The pickups in Doom - and his supposed lack of regen - likely reflect that.
The stimpaks he eats with impunity would outright kill mere mortals such as Captain Price and Master Chief.
