Why does movement in the Doom engine feel much better than in the build engine?
In doom it feels like there are some microseconds on acceleration a deacceleration when you start moving and you stop, giving the movement a sense of weight.
In build engine games it feels like you're levitating on the ground and when you stop pushing forward you come to a complete halt

Romero had a bitter beef with Carmack and iD Software at the time, yet when Quake 2 came out, he sat down and finished it in one sitting, and had to then announce to the world that he thought it was one of the best games he had played in recent years.
This was him at his pettiest, with the most bloated ego, yet he couldn't lie, he had to tell the truth; Quake 2 was a good game and he insisted people should play it.

Romero isn't exactly Fabio or anything, but Jesus Christ could they have found an uglier fucking guy to play him?
It looks like they deliberately picked an ugly guy.

Trying to play co-op DRPG+RLA with a friend. Megawads like Back to Saturn X have specific monsters placed for multiplayer, eg. Spider Mastermind right at the start of Map 01. Is there any way to disable those MP-specific monster spawns on gzdoom?

Also, does anyone have any big megawad recommendations? Specifically looking for ones without any custom monsters or weapons. Thanks frens

>mfw I taught myself Trenchbroom before that chicken-gizzard-neck guy started making his tutorials anyway and I can map with one hand while caressing my baby-killing salt rifles with the other

>>4650019
Probably, but at least I'll be able to say I made a map!

It's great, innit? Best part is you rarely if ever have any reason to change it.

>>4078357
Unless you're playing Quake in which case everything's all fucked up but you really shouldn't be worrying about exact scale anyway once the Old Ones get involved.

You should be ashamed for playing any Quake map on normal.

In fact I recommend putting 'skill 2' in your autoexec.cfg so you're always playing on hard even when loading individual maps from the console (bypassing the difficulty selection and defaulting to normal).

>go to Unreal thread
>half their thread or more is just bitching about the 'feel' of id tech/Source, shitting on Quake, and shitting on other anons' favorite UT games

this?

>scar3crow: Why does Quake have nailguns rather than machineguns?
>John Romero: Because it's different :)
>scar3crow: That it is, and makes for more thrilling visuals in a deathmatch seeing a swarm of nails coming your way from a SNG wielding rival marine.
>John Romero: I think it came out of the fact that we had a huge Jesus mural on the wall so we thought it would be funny to just blast the nails into him.

Daikatana is amazing, a true magnum opus of the king himself.
You memers shit it up but haven't even beat the game.
Let me post an epic idea for a "le agitating skeleton" mod and let the general go to that for the next 3 days
Here combine the Reveant from Doom II with the final boss from Daikatana.
That'd be hella fucking epic and you scrubs wouldn't be able to kill even one of them on ITYTD.

Tell Father Romero your darkest id related secrets, anon.
