Why is Brutal Doom hated?

[Anonymous No.10589175]

It's more about the reception and less about the mod itself. You can look on zdoom forums and find mods that are way shittier than BD. There are ones which are less faithful to the original's gameplay. The thing is that BD players are annoying and don't want to respect the original which old players take issue with. So it has a stigma of being the reddit of doom mods.

didn't the creator get canceled because he's a white supremacist with a literal gore/snuff fetish?

I for instance hated it's old versions since they would often freeze GZDoom on my old PC. Lately BD version also seems to push for realism, but that boring shit can be easily weeded out with SLADE.

That just sounds like edgy retard soup.

The creator isn't gay and that is basically the same thing as denying the holocaust and misgendering gender people

who the fuck cares, BD is great and this is a stupid thread. Wheat Supreme is a smear invented by your enemies that only reflects a fraction of the people involved in that sphere anyways

You shouldn't believe everything you read.

Not really, he was just a young, edgy asshole on forums back then, and it got him banned from some places. He's mellowed out since then and is pretty civil these days.

i imagine partially due to gatekeeping purists thinking it ruined doom and brought in a bunch of new kiddies even though it makes the game 10x more fun and engaging

and the rest due to sgt mark being an edgelord

[Anonymous No.10589415]

The creator is/was a /pol/-tier edgelord who's a little too passionate about gore for a lot a people's tastes, and in the past didn't credit the assets he used in the mod causing a lot of people to accuse him of asset theft. He also got himself banned from a lot of Doom-related forums for starting shit with other modders in addition to the aforementioned "quirks". From what I've read he's gotten a lot more mature and tolerable over the years, but his earlier behavior has become part of the mod's legacy.

Because legions of stupid children tried to run Brutal Doom with everything and then bitch endlessly when two different gameplay mods don't work right.
The other problem is people endlessly asking "Why is Brutal Doom hated?"

[Anonymous No.10589432]

I don't hate it only basedboy pussies hate it. My only problem is the gameplay gets kind of boring and it's a resource hog for lower end pc's. It would have been awesome if brutal doom improved the sandbox of the game at all, but honestly I think the doom engine is so limited there's only so much you can make for doom.

I would love if an indie game took the brutal doom concept and ran with it and it became it's own game entirely instead of a Mish mash of random ass doom resources

having dozens of people ask to make your mod compatible with DECORATE spaghetti might be a bit frustrating

[Anonymous No.10589463]

>>10589151
because it's popular

>didnt the creator get cancell-
And thats the moment I realized you were in your early 20s.

[Anonymous No.10589489]

It basically made it so zoomers can't play classic doom without fuck loads of gore and shit. They claim to like classic doom, but then you give them doom without Brutal doom, and they get bored and say "I hate this!".

>didn't credit the assets he used in the mod
wasn't it discovered those assets were literally pictures of real corpses and gore?

[Anonymous No.10590132]

>>10589514
I think the wanting to use actual photos of gore/death thing was separate from the uncredited assets incident.

Because the nerds here hate fun.

[Anonymous No.10590174]

I see Brutal Doom as a gateway mod to other Doom mods out there, so let me put down some personal recommendations:

Legendoom
Doom Roguelike Arsenal
DAKKA
High Noon Drifter
Project MSX
Corruption Cards (pair this one with something above)
Treasure Tech
Golden Souls Redux
Golden Souls 2

There really is no better way to Doom than Brutal Doom.
If you're gonna Doom, Doom Brutally.
Brutal Doom
