So what's the difference between the difficulties in Doom 4? Is it just more difficult enemy arrangements, or are they gonna individually suck up a bunch more ammo too?

It seems the main difference is damage done and possibly aggression. I thought it changed enemy placement, but on a double-check it doesn't seem to vary much if at all. Hard to keep track due to how dynamic and random the fights end up.

Ultra-violence is a bit easy. Nightmare is a bit too hard. Play on UV first is what I'd recommend. I don't believe there is a difference in ammo count and damage dealt between difficulties.

Somebody archived the comments, which are almost universally negative as you might expect. There were a couple guys in there who seemed sincere in saying that the game hadn't even been released for long so you can't be too hard on the player, as if console FPS controls are some new invention. I'm surprised Polygon is keeping that video up.

Samuel Clemens posted:I wasn't a big fan of map 22 either, but I do like its ammo balance. On pistol start, it seems like you have just barely enough bullets to deal with the hordes as long as you don't miss many shots. It adds an additional layer of strategy to the map, making it very tense in parts. I've just started opening the console and typing kill archvile the moment I begin a new map. I'm getting pretty tired of it to be honest. It was so good up until map 22 and then it just became an unfun slog

As someone else said, the security guys with shields are the biggest assholes since they'll block anything but a direct gauss cannon hit and BFG. Imps are cool dudes that will run away from you and if you pursue them, you might be facing a mancubus. The little bastards like to hide behind big ones and snipe you. Enemy behavior in this game is great and the constant weapon rotation too.

The Kins posted:I'm hearing rumours that monsters have difficulty-specific behaviours, like Imps leading their fireballs and bosses having additional gently caress-you attacks... Dunno if that's true though, I'm playing on HMP. Theyre very accurate but don't lead their shots on UV. Honestly that one change would make the game about twice as difficult because pretty much every fight where you have to dodge baron and mancubus shots and so on theres at least 3 or 4 imps running about slinging fireballs at you the whole time.

Decided to take a peak into SnapMap to see what options there are for weapons, while I knew that Pistols and possibly the Chainsaw were missing in action, it's interesting to see how they handled weapons with mods, they treat each mod(and the weapon by itself without any mods) as a separate gun entirely, although a couple mods are missing, like the lock-on burst for the Rocket Launcher, and the Tri Turret for the Chaingun, hopefully they'll be added in future updates/expansions to SnapMap

I'm having a blast but it feels a bit buggy. I'm getting CTDs every hour or so and during the bit when Olivia jumps into the portal/energy beam/whatever and causes an explosion my entire system locked up, appropriately enough.

I just can't get the Shambler HD model to work with Quakespasm I've put the prog/ folder in the id1/ folder, which should override the original .pak files, but it's still just the same old Shambler, shamblin' around. I have literally no idea why it's not loading. I'm running the latest SVN version of Quakespasm on Linux. Anyone have this same issue?

GlitchThief posted:"Too Young to Die." What the gently caress? Is this how speedruns are normally done? Most games have lots of different categories but the big ones kind of coalesce around higher skill levels. For Doom the big ones are UV-Max (UV with 100% kills and secrets) and UV-Speed (UH but kills etc doesn't matter). I'd imagine that the big Doom 4 speedruns will be done on UV.

Yeah, rf1024 is kind of different from all other 1024 wads I've played in that the monster closets are also contained within the 1024-unit limit. The archvile shenanigans you mentioned is one side-effect of that. The other wads tend to have a ton of monster closets outside of the playing area and sometimes turn into mini slaughtermaps as a result. I can see it getting used in a clever way like keeping imps/barons/knights in cages to snipe you and have them become resurrected if you kill them (and never releasing the archvile). rf never uses them in this way, though. Edit: I feel like modifying archviles so they never attack (just resurrect) would lead to interesting map designs too. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 16:23 on May 16, 2016 |

loga mira posted:I think spasm only supports loading models from pak files, use pakscape or something similar. That did the trick, thanks!  I actually had to double check on the first shambler I saw in-game, the model is so spot-on for the art style, it just fits perfectly. A new player would have absolutely no idea that it wasn't the original model. I hope he tightens up the other enemies in the same way, too.

I think Quake runs are typically either done on Easy or Nightmare. Not much new to be seen by doing the in-between difficulties.

I'd recommend playing through maps 30 and 33 at least. Both are genuinely fun and comparatively light on the Archvile spam.

Something like Doom, low difficulty may technically be the fastest, but its more boring and has less display of skill than UA. With half life, low difficulty is faster, but the ability to do more tricks actually makes it harder and a better display of skill.

I don't know why.  Its so loving stupid.

He starts rambling about insane political poo poo that nobody gives a gently caress about, and sounds like goddamn Droopy the dog.
