ITT reasons why playing doom on anything lower than ultra violence is not acceptable

>> No.2440215

Because Doom really isn't that hard.

Doom has no difficulty and requires no skill whatsoever to beat. It all depends on how often you are willing to save and reload, and the different setting just influence how many saving and reloading is needed to get through.

There are literally hundreds of games where you can save-scum. You might as well say every PC game ever made is garbage while you are at it

The question is why would you intentionally ruin your own experience just so you can 'beat it'?

What if I'm playing it on Snes?

I think a better question is why some games don't give you the choice. Doom has levels and so forth, but how do you define the difficulty curve for FPSs with no levels, or most CRPGs? They basically define all the mechanics of the game around save-scumming or autosave.

I didn't say they are garbage. I love Doom for all it is worth, but it does not have difficulty like more classic games had, simply because any obstacle can just be overcome by saving and reloading.

I personally get no enjoyment out of limiting myself to using only some of what a game gives me to solve it, so if a game allows me to bypass any difficult areas by saving rather than anything more time or energy consuming, I will. I do consider every game that allows you to save anytime to be flawed for just that same reason.

However it is pretty much a problem with FPSs and some other games like UFO only. I wouldn't consider it a problem in RTSs like Warcraft where you are essentially screwed by the time you realize you built etc. wrong and saving cannot help you anymore.
