any map that tries to be shaped like something is dogshit, this one being no exception

agreed. just look at that shit on the middle finger. according to romero that's a fucking booger. i hope whoever thought this was a good design had their children and wealth taken from them in a divorce.

>>7479473
Sandy Peterson is a hack. Change my mind.

>>7479473
Yeah this was the worst one, not sure if anyone is gonna argue for it.

>>7479473
My mind was completely blow when I noticed it was a hand though. Almost dropped my SNES controller.

>>7479473
Sounds like you need to git gud, faggot.
Stop blaming the game for your shortcomings.

dat booger tho

>>7479473
>helpless in a fucking rape pit
mm, sounds like my ideal saturday night

>>7479473
It only sucks the first time you play it, once you figure out where the exit is, it's easily the fastest level in the game to speedrun

>>7479473
I curse Sandy Peterson everytime I run a platforming section in a doom wad.

Whisked softly.

Luckily it’s followed by Pandemonium with that epic music

A hand isn’t a great basis for map design in a maze game. It basically guarantees backtracking since all the fingers mean you’re walking into a dead end on all of them. There isn’t a way to build interconnected pathways by its very nature.

You could add warps at the end of the fingers.

>"During a meeting I explained to John that I was working on the Daikatana end-game cinematics with Kage [the antagonist]. I pronounced it 'Cage.' Romero giggled. 'Who? What? What are you working on?' I said it again. Now everyone was laughing at me. Romero: 'Who? Say it again!' Me: 'Um ... Kage?' Romero: 'No, dude! It's pronounced Kah-gee!' Me: 'Um ... well, you better check the voiceover recordings, because it's 'Cage.' And suddenly Romero's face turned white. Half the audio in the game had his name pronounced wrong, and it was too late to fix."

>boo hoo video game level is hard
ask your mom for $5 and maybe you can pay to win

>maze game
Are you some sort of fag? You must have the absolute worst spatial recognition possible if this looks anything like a maze to you.

>>7482456
You don't need to, they're short, and turning around and going back where you came takes like 10 seconds, nevermind that there's things like powerups, weapons, keys, and the exit of the level in these fingers.

Why the fuck you shitters still play (and complain on how bad they are) about these old-ass substandard maps? There's infinitely better stuff around, thousands of maps far better made.

>>7482590
that's not true, your map sucks dude

>>7482590
You're not wrong, Plutonia is still great though even compared to modern standards

>>7482590
Gay.

>>7482904
Plutonia is like 75% Dario and Milo ripping off parts of Doom and Doom 2, then reskinning them and putting their own challenging monster encounters in there.

>>7482452
>maze game
you just blow in from stupid town?
>>7482542
wow running back and forth five times, what a fascinating map, it seriously fucking blows and it's only defense is you can skip it quickly?

I liked this map, feels weird and abstract in context with the others

>>7482452
Back tracking isnt always bad.

Please use the FPS thread next time. Thank you.

Are the rest of Doom's maps rendered in this style?

>>7483139
I like that it's abstract, yet also feels like you're traversing hellish wastelands between two bastions in hell. Slough Of Despair isn't some castle or temple, it's not a location which was built, it's just a rocky canyon, which perhaps due to the influence of evil magic took on its odd outline.

>>7483730
There's a guy with a site, yeah, just a minute.
https://ian-albert.com/games/

Regrettably, he does not have TNT Evilution nor Plutonia on this page, only Doom and Doom 2. I have this image of Alien Vendetta's Misri Halek rendered like this, so either he did that on request, or the tool for this exists somewhere or he lent it out, I wish I could have it so I could render up a whole bunch of cool levels I like, it would be fantastic if I could have renders like these for Doom 64.

>>7479473
In the hardest mode, that was the last stage i reached.

>>7479648
>>7482473
I beat the game last night you faggots and it was still the worst level in the entire game. Now I've started Doom 2 and surprise, surprise it's full of more shitty, annoying levels. I get why everyone hates Sandy now. He is like a great author that only needs a great editor to tell him when enough is fucking enough sometimes.
>>7482118
Pandemonium was based. One of my faves.

>>7479473
I've been playing doom 1 pistol starts today and yeah ammo is real scarce on this one. You gotta grab the berserk pack as soon as possible so you can punch out isolated pinkies and cacodemons. Ths lost souls are the worst part though. I dont know. Its mediocre but the ammo scarcity kind of makes things interesting to me.

>>7485560
This trap in e1m6 always fucks me when I replay with pistol starts. You're basically fucked if you don't find the rocket secret.
