/vr/ - Retro Games

Is there any particular reason on how Brutal Doom got very popular in the first place?

I know WHY it is popular - RIP AND TEAR, gore, and that many can relate the high amounts of damage done by each side to typical modern shooters amongst other things, but when Doom's modding community isn't as well known to the mainstream audience of gamers, the thread for it on the ZDoom forums has 382 pages, and practically every Doom thread made on /v/ is now centered around Brutal Doom, I just cannot help but wonder HOW it got big in the first place.

Even if it might bring in the casuals I suppose it does kind of help introduce new blood to custom Doom wads

I think it was pretty much the gorefest, fatalities and the whole RIP AND TEAR parafernalia

I've always said that, if someone decides to pick up the gore and fatalities from BD and calls it BD Lite, it'll be downloaded as much as the original mod

I highly doubt anyone plays BD exclusively for the hi-res effects and or weaponry

well probably because the voices and taunts, and the rip and tear, but for other things, i know there are better mods than brutal doom (which ones i dont have played, untill i finish TNT & Plutonia)

It's loud, fast-paced, violent, bright, and over the top. The screen rocks. The monsters scream and bleed out while clutching their wounds. You can flip shit off and use the most annoying sound byte ever.

It's like call of duty with a better setting: shut off your brain and just rip and tear.

E-yup, that's me alright. I'm the smuggest of the smuggest when it comes to smug.

And yeah, I jumped on the BURL TUMD bandwagon right off the bat.

That must mean I have huge smug..
RIP AND TEAR
RIP AND TEAR MY SMUG

Either way, let's not desecrate the dead horse further at this point.
I should go play some survival or something.

One fucking image.....one FUCKING image is missing.
Who wants to make one?

Then the ULTIMATE RIP AND TEAR IMAGE MACRO COLLECTION will be finished

>>685321

I made it.
It was the very first one of this collection and I just googled other words for rip and tear.
Sounds silly, but yeah....Someone should make a new one of the heretic guy

Glad to see your progress is steady sorceror-anon, I hope the Gods guide your firebolts.

I rip and tear through the demon ranks. I take damage but my progress does not slow.
I encounter the entrance to the 3rd level. Past it lies a burning room with appears to be a dozen Hidden. I hesitate to open the door.

I'd play the shit out of a Guy Gardner mod. Fucker's about as RIP AND TEAR as it gets.

But if constructs aren't manly enough, my boy Guy can go much more EXTREME...

Any good recommendations for music to rip and tear to? (besides the OST of course)

RIP AND TEAR, RIP AND TEAR

I had trouble with it too, specifically in the Chex Quest 3 chapter. I forget what difficulty I was on. Led to a lot of awesome RIP AND TEAR moments with the spork. It'd also be a bit easier if all the ammo types were named clearer, not just some permutation of "Zorch".

On the other hand, Chex Quest 3 was the first Doom type game I played through after these threads reminded me of my nostalgia for the original CQ, so I'd like to think my skills have improved from starting to play through Doom on UV.

Doom 3 wasn't bad, it was just kinda survival horrory instead of RIP AND TEAR HUGE GUTS
