Golden Souls 2 is very good and was just recently released, it's Doom + platforming, with Mario music and is surprisingly amazing. My favorite, however, is High Noon Drifter, which is spaghetti western weapons that go well with a lot of different maps.

Is it possible to permanently put the shotgun reload animation from Golden Souls 2 into everything forever

My only complaint with it so far is the level design feels kinda schizophrenic. Some levels like Calescent Castle demand like... precision platforming with 0 margin for error, but then almost immediatly after The Land With No Name is downright easy w/r/t platforming. e: also rocket launcher reskin is great. Doot Launcher.

manero posted:Some of the switches are amazingly non-obvious about what they do, and the level design doesn't necessarily guide you along to where to go next. Sometimes you have to backtrack through the whole level to find a gate or something that wasn't apparent that was the next way forward. One map I gave up and noclipped through a gate since I was bored of running back and forth through the level unable to find the next switch. One of the early levels, Oriental something or other took me like an hour over two or three sessions to complete because it combined nonobvious switches with literal mazes at the tail end of the level. I did notice in the level I'm currently on it showed a cutscene of a gate opening when I hit a switch though, so that's cool if it keeps up.

me and my brother had a turok game on the 64 and you could be a raptor that held a gun. turok will always hold up and stand the test of time, even if raptors didn't e: i never played turok 1, and if this one had a singleplayer i never played it. apparently it was Turok Rage Wars, i guess? i literally can not remember singleplayer even being an option, but i was also like 10 so who knows Mister No fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Jul 8, 2018 |

I used to have to play quake 1 to my mom's backstreet boys cd because the game terrified me as a kid. Also not an FPS at all, but if I listen to Offspring all of my thoughts gets consumed by vague memeories of Nox multiplayer.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:That's always been the way I've done things, but I've never gotten into Doom music, or rather music for Doom mods. From what I've seen, there's obv gonna be pockets of NMA assholes, but the doom community is crazy accepting of anyone and everything and is generally supportive about most stuff. I mean, the doom subreddit is bizarrely one of the least toxic subreddits I've seen. I wanna say at least part of it is from the top down so I had to go look up a quote quote:Romero and his co-workers wanted more games like Doom. "So we would tell anyone who wanted to know how we did what we did," he said. "That doesn't mean that they were going to make the same stuff." Doom is super chill for a game about hyperspeed drifting and forcing shotguns into demon's faces

Uh, is Blood supposed to be the hardest game ever? Is Blood 2 the same deal, or did the main character learn how to actually kill things?

I remember reading or hearing something along the line of the problem with Daikatana was Carmack wasn't there to make a good game that worked, and the problem with Quake 2 was Romero wasn't there to add some imagination to it.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah that's a good quote. The other guys definitely deserve a lot of recognition, but Carmack and Romero just ended up being the primary personalities behind the game. Probably, I think, because of the easy and fast labels of "Numbers Guy" and "Ideas Guy". Probably also because their names are just really easy to remember, but also uncommon enough to make them stick. That being said, I've never played Daikatana and have always waffled on whether I should or not. Blood is not my cup of tea at all, so I think I might give it a go.

Is there a mod that fancies up everything like Brutal Doom without all the excessive gameplay changes? I'm not actually sure what I even want, if I'm being honest. I like brutal doom in some aspects, but also hate reloading and assault rifles. Also, any recommendations on megawads like BTSX? That's been my goto for a long time now and I should probably change it up.

Smooth Doom is great, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Brigadine is also great. On a lark I loaded it with project brutality and holy lmao I can't even. That is the biggest clusterfuck I've ever attempted to deal with.

Never played Doom 64 before. Not enough levels involve things smashing you. e: I feel like these levels are way more symmetrical than normal Doom missions and I'm living for it. Mister No fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jul 14, 2018 |

The BTSX loadout is probably the weirdest of all of them. The chainsaw replacement, iirc, gives you a damage shield in exchange for health + modifies all the weapons in some fashion, I think. Especially neat, because of how quickly you can grab it in the BTSX maps.

Things that make the player feel powerful are great, whether in gameplay (super shotguns and riveters) or narrative. That was also my favorite part of hl2 and Max Payne.

At that point you could just have insane Tardis like features where the inside of the boat is bigger than the outside and random rooms of the boat can lead to entire pocket dimensions or send you to random points in time and space.

Ok, after bouncing off of Blood like a dozen times, I swallowed my pride and played on the second skill level and finished episode 1. Blood is good, holy moly.

I think my main problem with Blood was twofold, partly it just being really hard with high hp enemies and hitscanners; and also the first couple levels have an arsenal that, while good, I don't feel really gets to shine. It wasn't until I got the shotgun on skill 2 that it felt like it clicked. Also, I just wasn't using dynamite effectively, which feels like a huge deal. I started episode 2 on skill 3 and I'm having a way better time, now that I *get* the game, and also had the full episode 1 arsenal by like the end of the first level.

I didn't hate the bosses in Project Warlock. They weren't exceptionally good or anything, but they were different enough from the normal enemies that they were compelling enough. Except I used the bfg type gun to kill the last boss it crashed my game so I didn't get to see an ending or anything if there was one. The Egypt boss also took a handful of lives until I decided to go full Rambo and ignore the spawning enemies.

wafflemoose posted:The only good part of the Doom movie was the first person sequence, they should have just done the whole movie like that, like Hardcore Henry.

site posted:Because hardcore Henry is uhh extremely not doom? Tbh i can't even tell if this is a joke or not Yeah, but I'm not talking about the Henry movie explicitly, I'm talking about a hypothetical first person Doom movie. I can't see a 90 minute action sequence in first person, being anything but an absolute slog. e: make a Doom movie, except as a rebranded Mandy (replacing Mandy with a rabbit ofc). Keep Nic Cage as the lead, now Doomguy, and make the action start 20 minutes in instead of an hour an a half. Boom, the first satisfying and potentially emotionally draining videogame movie.

I figured it was something weird on my end, because I couldn't find anything else through google regarding the crash. It looks like it's working with gzdoom 3.7.2 though, so I have no idea.

Barudak posted:It also always bugged me that fir a game where you play a badass gunslinger you a) dont have a revolver or even a handgun and b) you are much more a badass dynamite chucker since everybody else is way better with guns than you. On the other hand, the way Caleb handles the shotgun feels great and very gunslinger-y. I can appreciate bucking the "gunslinger has to use a revolver" trope, even if the shotgun isn't a WMD like Doom's SSG.

I think directly funding homophobia is a lot worse than bad posts in a Discord. probably, but it's more of a benign hate. if Peterson wasn't a Mormon, the Mormon church would be exactly the same. he wasn't doing interviews pushing his views when the topic was Doom, or going on Doom newsgroups talking about how gay people will go to hell. the bad posts in discord are just throwing chum out to a social group that's already notorious for being actively lovely to anything outside their perceived normal apropos of nothing. following all the lovely alt-right twitter accounts on their company account is just signal boosting shittier people. it might be less damaging in the long-term compared to an organized religion, but it's also something that can be directly affected, either by raising awareness or convincing people to not give them their money.
