It's even worse. Guns are shit. Gameplay mechanics are shit. Unnecessary RPG elements. Levels are procedurally generated - which means they made four levels, cut them into pieces and randomly reassembled, trying to pass them off as forty levels. Plot is retarded. You are stuck with annoying female character who never stops bitching in your had. Game is horribly optimized. And a cherry on a shit pile - if you have gamepad plugged in, all the button prompts will be for the gamepad. IN A FUCKING PC SHOOTER. Even the fucking Bayonetta, a port of console game from console genre made by people who don't care for PC, even that game made it right.

>>6334336
Opinions are mixed, and it's not perfect, but I think that the things it did well, it actually did really well. It actually has a lot of things in common with Doom 4, both good and bad. The gunplay isn't all that hot, but the swordplay and spellcasting feels pretty fun and I enjoyed it VERY much.
Shadow Warrior 2 did a few things better that the reboot didn't do too great (such as gunplay, to be really honest), and improved on some of the already good things, but I think mostly, everything the reboot did ok or well, the sequel did much, MUCH worse.

The enemy roster in the reboot isn't flawless, but every one of them have a different role and behavior, meanwhile in the sequel, they are MASSIVELY dumbed down, mostly all doing the same things as each other, presenting faux variety by just making a couple of skin sets for each. Challenge relies a lot on matching damage type to resistance, if it was just a smaller facet it wouldn't be so bad, but it's hard to pick up on what enemies are resistant and weak against, and it's one of the biggest elements of the game's challenge, which obviously isn't very good. A lot of it hangs on how the sequel was turned into a lootershooter, like a cutrate Borderlands knockoff (I don't like Borderlands much to begin with), which is something I don't think the game needed at all.
Unlike the reboot, the sequel allows you to use the same tactics for 99% of enemies.

The level design is arguably the worst crime, because there's about 50-60 hours of gameplay if you go through the effort of doing all the missions, but there's like maybe actually less than 10 different levels in the game, recycled over and over and over, with extremely little changes (and with obvious bugs and errors repeating). It's *incredibly* boring, it kills any and all exploration, and it's obviously a huge part of why encounters aren't very good (the other being the shitty enemies).

Of all the major Build Engine games that were developed, the games and game franchises that used it sure got screwed over. The exception being Redneck Rampage, which got a sequel about a year later in the form of Redneck Rampage Rides Again. While definitely no 8 or 9 out of 10, it did introduce new enemies, weapons, and other characters. Exhumed and WW2GI were put to rest without sequels, and its probably for the best.

Again, I haven't played the game, but if they're just ayy lmaos with an angel/knight aesthetic than I wouldn't be super annoyed. I always just sort of headcannoned that the "demons" were just aliens given how they have physical forms, you can kill them, etc.

SW '13 is okay, but again its more of Painkiller-esque locked-into-arena-until-you-kill-all -> proceed to next arena, fun for one playthrough, but not much else.

SW2 is shit on so many levels. Melee and chainsaws are only good thing that came out of it.
1) Whole thing is 95% procedurally generated, and the geneerator is shit. The tiles are enormous so you see same places all the damn time, with "secrets" and monsters in exact same positions.
2) There's only 3 tilesets, and one (Zilla City) is atrocious garbage in all aspects, second (rural city) is buggy as fuck, and only one out of 3 (nature/village) is any good.
3) The worst thing about enemies - on higher difficulties/levels they gain absolutely random resist/immunes that don't correlate to monster type at all. And they can have as many as 8 of those all represented not through icons, but through text with color coding representing element but not what degree (resist/immune/vilnerable) it is, so you have to read it all for every enemy to do damage. And a dozen visually identical enemies in the group may all have different immunities/vulnerabilities.
At that point combat becomes an unfun shitshow.
4) The looter-shooter aspect is botched horribly due to numerous factors I won't go over.
Overall SW2 is okay on easier difficulty if you skip over all side missions that involve Zilla City.

I haven't played SW13 but I have played SW2 since GOG gave it away. I had a good time with caveats.

First, the random generation is extremely subtle. I didn't run into bugs, but if I didn't know going in, I would have sworn whole areas were being reused.

Second, higher difficulties are not fun. After I beat the game on normal I wanted more so I boosted it up a level. Not fun dealing with all the resistances.

Third, it didn't run well on my system at the time. I got a new GPU for Doom Eternal so this might be worth revisiting.

Upsides: I like the gunplay and melee combat on normal. From someone that hates Borderlands, SW2 strikes a decent balance between weapons being strong and giving you an impetus to go after new stuff. Boss fights are good too.

Just played through it twice to see which path was better. I definitely like that the blue keycard path is in cramped spacing where you have to rely on peaking and infighting and the red skull path is a wide open area where you have to dodge projectiles. That being said, I didn't like the arch-vile at the end of the blue keycard room because he doesn't have much of an oprotunity to revive anyone and cause much of an obstacle. If there needs to be a bullet sponge in the way to keep you distracted from the switch I would probably put a hell knight or a baron since you would have the super shotgun at that point. Then flipping the switch could have the arch-vile come out of a sector on the OTHER side of the room (since there's likely going to be more bodies there anyway)

>> No.6334641

>>6334637
I can always make Archie start alert, though I don't think I need that. You are talking about switch that lowers the consoles? It's not really meant to be mandatory, I simply added it for easier backtracking.

I'm not really sure I really want an arch-vile so I might just trade him for baron or somesuch.

>I would have sworn whole areas were being reused
They pretty much are, for what it matters.
There's only a few tilesets, there's only a few big chunks per tilesets, and there's only a few ways they combine, so it's practically like there's less than 10 levels in the game recycled repeatedly. You will see all the locales the game has to offer after an afternoon of playing the game.

I enjoyed it, but depending on your vision, I think it was a little on the easy side, I didn't die once. I would bring up two criticisms:

>The room where you're ambushed from both sides (the one in front of this screenshot) is a cool idea, but the ambush is completely neutered by the fact I can just retreat back into the previous room (where I am in the screenshot) and use the door as a chokepoint. I think you could make the encounter a lot more interesting/challenging by trapping the player on the other side of that door until they grab the red key.
>After the blue key and progressing to the other side of the yellow-texture hurt floor, maybe it was just me but I couldn't see the door to the right at first. Kept trying to figure out how to open the big door in front, and didn't even notice the door on the right until later. Maybe I'm blind, but I would recommend making something to draw the players' attention towards that secondary entrance.

Just to be clear, the smaller door on the right of this screenshot is the one I'm talking about in the second point I bring up. I would add some decoration or something to draw the players' eye to it more, to make sure the more blind among us (like me) don't spend a couple minutes feeling lost.

I really enjoyed this map. I liked how cramped it was and that the combat wasn't stingy. The balance was right all the way the through. There was one door track on the blue key side that was lower unpegged.

Off the top my head, I would either move it off to the side like the red drawing on the screenshot, or make it diagonal like the purple drawing. Either way, I would try to make sure it's very visible from the main hub area. I'm not a mapper mind you, I'm just throwing ideas out there

You don't HAVE to play everything on UV. You can do a continuous playthrough on HMP, and if you like it enough, come back and grind it on UV.

This is something I started doing when playtesting anons' maps, then I really liked how it felt so I started doing it on every map I play. For play-testing maps, I would record a blind play-through on skill 2. Then I would go back and record a playthrough on skill 3, and then on skill 4. Because you're recording you can't save anyway. After beating it 3 times I would give the anon my demos and feedback.

So for regular maps, I pistol start on skill 2 and beat the map without saving once. If the map is complete and utter garbage then I just move on to the next one. If I like it enough, I run it again on skill 3. If I like it enough, I run it again on skill 4, if not, I start the process over again on the next map. If I REALLY like the maps, then I download demos, and learn the routes, and grind out a deathless UV run of the entire episode. I've done deathless NM runs of Doom1 episodes 1-3, and I've done deathless UV runs of Scythe Episode 1 and Eviternity Chapter 1

This is what happens if you go straight for UV every playthrough without learning the map first:

To paraphrase the doom movement bible, doomguy's movement is calculated in the x and y directions as a vector which should be basic trigonometry. However, to save time for calculating sines and cosines, they just have a table of various angles. This would be completely fine, except that they don't have a value for 90 degrees, meaning if doomguy is facing true north and the move forward key is held down, instead of just having a no x-directional movement, a very small and very close but not quite number to 0 will be applied to the x-plane. As the other poster mentioned, it's possible to squeeze glide through the exact width of doomguy's hitbox of 32, but it's easier said than done.

Pack that fucker with imps. Even more on UV.

7) and that goes TRIPLE for this ledge. Put a row of imps across the entire thing on skill 2. More on 3. And on skill 4 make it slaughterwad numbers of imps on that ledge, and put individual rockets ON the ledge as the extra ammo to deal with them, so that you have to risk your ass to grab the rockets. Remember this is UV we're talking about, not a cake-walk.

Maybe make that blursphere a soulsphere so you can put a crapton of imps on the ledge without breaking the balance of the map. Or if you're feeling stingy put a ton of armor bonuses there

22) Final thoughts (for this version):

I think you have really good instincts when it comes to designing the layout of an indoor map. I really liked "Bad Reception" and I really like the layout of this map.

However, I think you have really bad instincts when it comes to how difficult a map needs to be across all difficulties. Skill 2 feels virtually empty, and UV feels way too easy compared to UV on other modern maps.

Did you ever beat map 02 of Preacher on skill 2? :)

I actually forgot to add exit action to the eye switch and had to re-upload it.

The red key was fun, but different ports seem to disagree on key's collision too much so I had to make the lift slightly wider. A bit less cool in my opinion, but more reliable.

No problema. Some other anons posted their maps but I didn't wanna stop my playthroughs of Preacher or DBP22 so I missed those. I recognized you from Bad Reception, though, from the "Crispy v5.7.1" in the screenshot so I figured this was gonna be another good one in the end as well. Take a break from mapping for a bit and play map 2 of Preacher.wad on skill 2! Play in GLBoom+ so that you can see the opening demos first (the third demo desyncs so just watch the first two).

I can see why you arrive at that conclusion. I've played PC and consoles all my life, but in later years, as controllers and control schemes have improved, I've found that I far prefer the comfort and smoothness of analog stick movement over WASD, however, even though I'm good at aiming with an analog stick, a mouse is still vastly superior for that.

Just download it from the OP. I just checked and the GOG download does not include the soundtrack.

SETUP: The id1 folder is the folder with all of the Quake 1 game files. Put that folder in the Quakespasm folder and double click Quakespasm and it should work fine

The link in the OP comes with a file called "autoexec" that will automatically input a bunch of console commands at the start of the game. Maybe someone with more knowledge has a different opinion but I just deleted it (and replaced it with my own autoexec that plays a demo at start up)

If you want to play the expansions, copy the "rogue" folder and "hipnotic" folder to the quakespasm directory, open quakespasm, and press ` to open the console and type -game rogue or -game hipnotic

Hey guys. I have a question regarding PRBoom+/GLBoom+

So you know how when you grab blue armor, you keep ~50% damage reduction until you have 0 armor left, right? I noticed that when using the Boom color scheme for the status bar in PRB, if I pick up blue armor and it goes below 100%, the armor number will turn green.

My question is: would it be possible to make an edit or autoload WAD that tells the bar to keep displaying blue if the last grabbed armor was blue armor, even if it dips below 100%, and to always show green armor as green, even if the value goes above 100%?

>> No.6336030

>>6336026
In case I didn't make myself clear:
Current behavior is any number that goes above 100% turns blue in the status bar, according to Boom color scheme. Any number below 100% turns green, yellow, and then red.

Desired behavior is the same for everything EXCEPT armor - where I'd like it to preserve the blue color if last grabbed armor is blue, and to preserve green color if last grabbed armor is green.

I know what you mean. That irritates me as well. When you use GZDoom or Crispy and you have colored statusbar on, the color of the armor % will always be blue or green to reflect what kind of armor you have; PrBoom is the only one that does this. This is unironically one of the reasons I don't use Pr/GLBoom+ as often as Crispy or GZ. AFAIK your "best solution" is to press the + key to minimize the HUD and that way your armor icon itself will always represent what kind of armor you have, but then you miss out on the iconic Doomguy face. Crispy Doom has the best default HUD options, but GZDoom's HUD is moddable, pic related, also note the blue armor below 100%

>> No.6336107

>>6336098
This would indicate that it's perfectly fixable then, no? I like Pr/GLBoom+ a lot, and would rather use it over Crispy/GZ for vanilla doom gameplay always, except for this little quirk.

>You don't HAVE to play everything on UV. You can do a continuous playthrough on HMP, and if you like it enough, come back and grind it on UV.
Yeah, I suppose. Honestly it wasn't even meant to be a full playthrough, I booted up Episode 1 just to test Doom Launcher and just said "Fuck it, why not?" and ran through the game on UV. I had played Episode 1 and 2 on HMP and 3 on UV so I did have a little experience with UV beforehand. Episode 1 and 2 were fine aside from the odd death, 4 is where it got tricky. I'm not really that good at learning maps unless I just die on them or play on them to the point where I remember the limited amount of secrets my ape brain can fucking find before just not being aware of anymore.
>So for regular maps, I pistol start on skill 2 and beat the map without saving once. If the map is complete and utter garbage then I just move on to the next one. If I like it enough, I run it again on skill 3. If I like it enough, I run it again on skill 4, if not, I start the process over again on the next map.
Sounds like an interesting method, but most of the time repeating the same map over and over ain't exactly my cup of tea, especially for a kinda casual playthrough. (i think in my mind i'm somewhat testing out my skill for plutonia? idk man that shit has me worried for when i come to it) Plus I mean, I've never been a fan of looking at guides. I did it for E4M1 and M2 to a degree and honestly probably will need it again though. So I'd probably need a guide considering learning a map through trial and error doesn't work for me usually.

I think Requiem MAP24 might actually be fucking impossible with pistol start if you don't get the extremely-well-hidden secret that contains 90% of the ammo in the entire level.

What good implementations for multiple switch hunts (With visible results) for Doom 2 can you think of?

So far, beside raising ceiling + lowering floor I could only think of raising floor several times while this sector also being a lift - kinda like multiple stages IoS confrontation.

I was hoping I could use a raisable ceiling next to a door, but only walk line can make ceiling raise to higest ceiling.

I'm 178/224 so far in my attempt to play through every single map from Joel's second mapping contest in alphabetical order and god most of them are complete shit, and not in a babby's first map way. Some asshole had the gall of sharting out a 1 hour long map which also had quite possibly the most retarded final boss I had the displeasure of experiencing in a Doom WAD, another cunt also made a really long and boring map with cutscenes that took forever, for some reason a couple of the maps randomly had enemies modified to have more health (not sure if this is a meme from his streams), etc.

At least I have found some jewels that weren't mentioned in the winners' review, like dobu_gm's map (the one from the screenshot, Frozen Exuviae) which was beautiful and also had good gameplay to boot, and some fun stuff like ronnyjamesdiner's map (The Crypt) where I was only allowed to dodge the baddies.

You shoot and use anything that's different. In a game like Doom that re-uses a lot of textures, unique walls really stick out. A lot of secrets are revealed this way.

SIGIL is hard without resorting to "slaughtermap", yes. But it's mostly thanks to being cheap in other ways, there's lots of unavoidable damage, hidden monsters that will wipe half your health off in your first run when you don't know they're there, instadeaths, extremely stringent ammo counts, and Romero loves to make you fight barons with just a shotgun simply because it takes longer to kill them and increases the likelihood you will make one mistake and take a fireball to the face which can be a run ender.

Some of that I think is due to poor video quality (I'm a .webm noob) and low map lighting (160), but I 100% agree with you, especially with the road. I intend to make a grey version as well. The good thing is that editing textures should be pretty easy. I made all of them as vector graphics in an effort to stay truer to the flash look, and then exported them as PNGs of various sizes. This screenshot shows off textures 4x Doom's resolution, I also increased the light level to 224.

Alright, I'm nearly done with the whole pistol-start run of Doom 1. Here's the tally for Episode 4 so far.
>E4M1: Hard but pretty fun if annoying at times with the respawning enemies.
>E4M2: Not really that fun, had to use a guide for it just to survive, same with M1 but to a far lesser degree. Save scummed a bit honestly.
>E4M9: Kinda fun, was a bit low in the weapon and ammo department while having at least 2 barons that I remembered. But overall good, I just wished I hadn't spent so much time looking for the yellow key only to realise it had just been on the other side of the starting platform all along.
E4M3: Fine level, beginning is hectic but it eases out, aside from the barons, fuck the barons. The space is too tight for rocket launcher usage as I don't use freelook to make sure Doom's autoaim doesn't fuck me over and kill me instantly. So it's mostly just an exercise in taking too long to kill the baron. This makes me miss the SSG a lot.
>E4M5: Honestly don't remember much of it, was fun and tightly packed. Very kind, giving me a chaingun in a level mostly packed with hitscanners, overall good level even if I always skip the yellow key. Hell I don't even know where it is the run to the exit is piss easy to do.
>E4M6: Save scummed the fuck out of this one if I'm honest, but it was fun. Cyberdemon is annoying, I had to go and get the invincibilty just so I wasn't insta-killed because of the tight space and his rockets.
>E4M7: Really fun, simple, crusher got me the first time. I don't know /vr/'s opinion on Civvie, but as he said, a BFG and invul against a Cyberdemon? Kind, kind man.

There's plenty of unavoidable hurtfloors. Map3 even if you run perfectly to the env suit you still take one tick of damage, which was like 20hp or something ridiculous like that. And then you need to go that road again later but without the env. suit, I think there was one more but it was in a secret. Map 4, the one with the three paths at the start, the middle path you had to take some damage here, unless there's a secret way to raise the floor that I missed.

I recently replayed Doom 2 and felt the same way. The highs of the Romero and early McGee levels are high and time-pressed Sandy Petersen created some real stinkers.

OK Bros, so all I really have at the moment is a work laptop so I have been buying all the digital versions of old FPS I can find on XBox One/360. I have Doom/Doom II/Wolf 3D/Marathon 2 but I want to get Duke Nukem 3D since I played the fuck out of it as a kid.

My question is, should I get the XBox 360 Duke Nukem 3D port that came out around 2010, it's on the marketplace for 9.99 and from what I have seen seems to be a solid port that added a few features like enhanced midi soundtrack and a rewind savescumming thing.

Or I can get the more recent rerelease from a couple of years ago from Gearbox that is on Xbox One but it's 19.99. It has a bonus episode I believe. Is it work the extra 10 bucks? I can play on either console.

Stick it on one place all by its lonesome, give the player some moderately strong weapons but no BFG (or just no way to get into melee range), and some columns to jump from cover to cover. It sounds bothersome, but the Spider Mastermind is just not that great to fight.

Alright, it's done. The level aside from the Mastermind fight was actually harder. The Mastermind did quite a bit of infighting for me, so I just kinda circled the arena, got the cell ammo, killed the Barons and just Plasma'd the Mastermind into a pile of gibbed brain. Overall, solid and fun level. I'd say the overall episode scores like:
>E1: 8.5
>E2: 7.8
>E3: 7.6
>E4: 7.3
Episode 1 feels the overall most solid of the bunch, there's no level in this one that makes me groan and go "Oh God, this one.", while all the other ones have that, though I usually don't remember until after I replay them. None of the levels are as offensively bad as some of Doom 2's levels are, which is a damn feat honestly. E4 can be really fun but it can also just be really painful, looking at you Romero. I don't really have a favourite map, most of the maps in Doom games blend together in my mind unless there's one that's just offensively fucking garbage or it's different in a good way. But hey, that means I can say I've finished all of Doom 1 on UV pistol-start now. I don't think I'll do this for Doom 2. It's fun obtaining all of your weapons and stuff but it can also be quite annoying sometimes just aimlessly hunting down something better than a fucking pistol, though usually there's a shotgun near the beginning of the level so that's lessened a bit. I feel more capable of Plutonia but it still intimidates me a lot, plus I still have the Master Levels of Doom 2 and TNT to get through. Though we'll see about TNT, I've heard it's remarkably boring at times.

The 360 port got good reviews and seemed to be a good standard port of Duke 3D. The Randy Pitchford cashgrab 20th Anniversary Edition is also a good port and has new visual options and rerecorded lines by Jon St. Jon and a new episode made by some original level designers.

Right now? I doubt it. Plutonia seems like doing it no save and pistol start would be an immense challenge for a boomer who's had 25 years to git gud. Let alone me, a pasty zoomer who only genuinely got into Doom once Doom (2016) came out and proceeded to fall in love with the franchise. (I had some experience with Doom beforehand, which involved me buying Doom Classic Complete off the Playstation Store and crying for like 5 minutes because I couldn't look up and I legitimately thought the game was broken until my mother made me try just shooting high up enemies anyway and it worked. I don't think I ever got to Episode 2 though. I didn't really know how the Episode system worked because I was a young lad.) Though I mainly say that from the perspective of seeing a bunch of Chaingunners and Revenants and Archviles and such. All of which I'm not very good with.
>Chaingunners: Health Melters
>Revenants: Fine but I can't bait the punch without getting rocketed in the face like an autist and fuck those homing rockets so bad I hate them so much.

I might, but from what I know Master Levels and TNT are both incremental steps in difficulty towards Plutonia. It'd be really weird for me to start with Plutonia and work my way DOWN the difficulty ladder.
>I would do Doom 2 pistol start just to have it under my belt too, but as you know it's not stellar.

The boomer/zoomer thing is a meme dude. I'm 25 years old. As old as the game. You're probably ~20 or below. You have faster reaction times. You could do Plutonia UV. If using no saves or pistol starting sounds shaky, don't worry, just fucking play it continuous and save at your discretion. Point is, it's not this mythical thing on a pedestal that you might have been led to believe.

As for the "it would be weird to go down in difficulty later": dude, you're probably gonna be playing PWADs after this anyway, and they're gonna vary up and down in difficulty, they're not going to be getting exponentially harder. It's really not that big a deal. I just fear that you're gonna burn yourself out on the shitty stuff (most of MasterLevels/TNT) before you get to the good stuff (Plutonia).

As for the Archvile maze track, I actually still like the rendition in the community MIDI pack more than the bunny music. I don't think there's a single level there that isn't improved by the Jimmy(TM) pack.

Aye, I'm sorta glad I'm new to Doom so I can make the habit of doing it on a lower difficulty before playing UV. It seems a lot of people tend to view UV as the normal mode of the game and then NM as the hard mode when really it's the hard mode and the ultra-hard mode.

People telling you UV is meant to be hard are lying. The community considers UV to be the intended way to play, except for Ribbicks. He's the only person I'm aware of that advocates HMP being normal. Here's some reading for you, young grasshopper.

https://www.doomworld.com/25years/the-roots-of-doom-mapping/chapter10/

I recommend the entire treatise when you feel like it. I read it over the weekend. It takes about 2 hours but I found it interesting as someone that's been playing Doom WADs for six years. /vr/ doom threads reminded me the game existed a decade after I played the originals.

>> No.6337872

Addition to my own post directly above: UV may be the intended way to play, but how hard the intended way is varies per level. You may be able to brave Doom the Way id Did on UV, but try that on Sunlust and you'll have a rough time, to say the least. Only Doom gods play Sunder and Sunlust on UV.

>> No.6337878

>>6337865
Ribbiks isn't the only one. Most slaughterwads or hard wads enocurage you to play them on HMP or even HNTR on your first go, instead of jumping straight into UV like a dunce.

It makes sense to me that HMP should be "normal". It's what the game defaults to when you're selecting a difficulty. The only reason UV became accepted as the "norm" is because beat the original Doom1/2 IWADs and thought anything else was too easy (it was).

I also play on UV often, but I am under no illusion that it's supposed to be "normal". I'm fully aware that I'm playing PWADs on hard mode on my first go and that I probably should be doing HMP first.

>> No.6337896

>>6337865
>>6337872
I kinda skimmed through it, I only found one mention of UV, which was when it was on about Ribbicks. I'll need to give it a better read but personally as >>6337878 said it seems intended that HMP is the intended difficulty for a first run as it's the one it defaults to. UV on the original games isn't extremely difficult so I assume that's what gets people to think that overall you should start anything at UV. Though I won't get into a huge debate about it or anything, I'd be arguing in bad faith considering I haven't read the whole article.

>> No.6337912

>>6337896
Fair enough. Although I default to UV myself, I think the best approach is to choose what works for you. I still suggest starting with UV and going down if you get too frustrated. I downgraded Going Down from UV to HMP after playing about a third of it. I qualify this statement by also suggesting noting what the author says about the wad relative to your own skill level, which you'll learn as you play more wads. For example, Z86's Hellbound says experienced players should manage UV easily, so I played it there. I died of boredom, not rage from difficulty, so I went down to HMP to grind out the last six maps.

>>6337878
You raise a good point about slaughterwads. I don't completely disagree, but I do want to add a wrinkle to your remarks. Sunder, the progenitor of the modern slaughter genre, has no difficulty levels. The author suggests ITYTD for first time players, since monster placement does not change no matter the difficulty and ITYTD cuts damage received from all sources. That's an exception rather than a rule.

If there was only one intended way to play, there wouldn't be difficulty settings. UV is intended to be an extra challenge for skilled players. I'm an anon who will grind out deathless runs of entire episodes on UV or NM, and I will tell you, the fastest way to learn a map so you can play it on UV is to beat it pistol start on skill 2 no saves, beat it pistol start on skill 3 no saves, THEN play it pistol start or continuous play on skill 4. Imo if you can't beat a level with no saves then obviously you need to turn down the difficulty; sure there are exceptions like hour long maps

The Hive level had promise conceptually, all the women tied up and captured in DN3D was meant to add some kind of horror vibes into the game and the idea of adapting the same idea with latest gen tech would've made the atmosphere super immersive and really impactful if done right, like how Doom Eternal's and 2016's hell levels were done relative to Doom 1/2's. Even if only to add atmosphere and not to serve as some kind of "deep" meaning or w/e.

But the fact that it was more or less treated like a joke just ruins it. Hell, the intro cutscene from DN3D Episode 4 had more substance to it with the whole "aliens impregnating human women" thing, and it was only like, 6 seconds out of the full 14!

Well said. Now that you mention it, it's probably my favorite WAD also, though I still haven't finished it. I love the pacing; I've never played anything like it. You have to keep moving all the time to keep grabbing ammo or you run out. Pic related are the WADS I've played and beaten so far (except for Sunder which I quit on the platforming map), and of these, Eviternity is my fav, though Scythe/Scythe2/Hell Ground are also my favs.

It's a shame there are no demos of Preacher on the speed demos archives; I think it's because the random starts add an element of RNG that speedrunners don't like.

I've decided to try that too, so far I'm only done with the first 10 but I've noticed there are also some really great vanilla maps that got omitted probably due to being vanilla. Panic in Paradise is worth checking out too.

Doomer Boards Project 22
> https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doomer_Boards_Projects
Every month the ppl at Doomer Boards release a new set of short-ish, difficult maps. I REALLY liked #20 (Dungeons and Demons) and I would highly recommend it to everyone, pic related. It's medieval/Dungeons & Dragons themed; the zombie/sergeant sprites got replaced with the cultist sprites from Blood, the plasma gun is now cast from your hand, the BFG is now a scepter, etc.

I haven't finished #22 though, I get lost way too often in it so I'm playing Preacher instead. The theme is all the monsters are now cybernetic: the imp now shoots single plasma balls, the baron now shoots single rockets, etc. The name for the theme comes from a Sepultura song, "Biotech is Godzilla":
>Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedy's gave this song to Max and it's about how biotech weaponry is like Godzilla as far as comparison to destruction!
I get lost in it because the levels are like dark forests or half-buried tech bases overgrown by moss and trees. Their originality is 10/10 but these levels are too maze-like for me. #20 was frickin' gold though.

Number 16, "Cyb's Freaky Colonoscopy," was runner up for a Cacoward last year, but I haven't played it yet.

So guys, I'm building a map that is mostly "flat", as in not a lot of elevators or pathways that lead to confusing sections like OG Doom. Is that considered bad when it comes to fun?

>> No.6339435

>>6339429
I suppose not, but map is going to be flat anyway.

forgot to mention, their maps are all limit-removing so you can play them in Crispy Doom. I loaded #22 into GZDoom though so I could use OpenGL lighting and a flashlight mod to try to navigate it easier but only map 3 was dark.

It happened to me, too. You need to find a ledge with some health or armor bonuses on it. Start the level over, IDDQD and IDCLIP and look for the ledge, and then reload your save

>> No.6339454

>>6339450
actually no need to start the level over, just use cheats and find that ledge, then reload your save once you find it. or find a walkthru but cheats should be faster

Also, would anyone be interested in seeing my autistic list of wads worth playing when I'm finished with all of them? There's a lot of good ones unmentioned in the winners section and I doubt people want to sift through all the garbage maps or watch the entire stream to get them all.

Maps being balanced around UV =/= UV isn't considered as the hard difficulty. Most mappers just simply find it easier to scale things down for lower difficulties after making the initial encounter designs rather than to add stuff on top of them.
And besides, most modern mapsets are generally HARDER than the iwads (even Plutonia in many cases), regardless of which difficulty is being designed around, so the idea that UV isn't meant to be the hard difficulty is just pure nonsense.

It'd work with a heavily modified cyberdemon sprite. If anyone would know any claws ready to be made into sprites...

The problem here is that "killing monsters" is the main content of Doom, and the only way to get the maximum amount of monsters to appear is to play on UV or NM.
Playing on anything less would net you less monsters and therefore "less content". Many people can't bear to lowering difficulty due to subconscious belief that they'd be "missing out" on part of the game's content.

>> No.6339905

It'd probably be really bothersome to make a sprite enemy that big without also shrinking down the Cacohead to make it simpler to work with, and lets be real, what's the fun with an enemy like this if we're losing Cacodefinition?
Maybe you could cheese it and make him multiple actors working in tandem, though he'd not look as smooth, and he'd almost require a custom map to work (according to my arcane and outdated Decorate knowledge anyway).

Possibly a good artist could paint over the entirety of the Cycloid Emperor (it looks like it has suitable proportions and posture), and have a new head done from scratch.

It's not like it'll cut out chunks of the level or anything (I guess you could effectively do that through spawn flags though), 99% of cases where an author has implemented difficulty levels entails the author just stripping or swapping monsters in encounters.
I mean is it a significant difference in content if two barons are replaced with two knights?

It's much less satisfying to blow up 2 imps with an explosive barrel than it is to blow up 5 imps, but then again, as I said this is not a conscious concern, but rather unconscious desire to not "miss out"

I knew about the cacodemon origin with the astral dreadknaut or however you say it. I just said giant body, like maybe a sort of spider mastermind, but more centepede than spider. Or maybe a cacoworm that burrys underground
