I didn't mention it explicitly because I assumed that between the highly subtle way I showcased that animation in the update and the fact that that Terminator 2 scene isn't obscure at all, I thought that it would be obvious to anyone.

Samovar posted:Yeah, I do agree that the unbreakable glass window shtick is kinda lame, especially with everything else done in the game. Would have made more sense to have had DG try and punch through the glass, or be subjected to some kind of electrical shock that would explain him not being able to do anything. Ofc the inevitable bossfight occurs later on when DG is not too late at breaking through the reinforced glass.

So that you don't have to replay the whole game if something bad happens. Unless you were just joking ofcourse.

PurpleXVI posted:I always found the Rocket Launcher to be pretty useful. With the lock-on secondary ability it becomes GREAT for pummelling distant enemies taking pot shots at you. I don't think it counts as a spoiler that this, a Doom game, has Cacodemons, and I found it wonderful for dealing with them, because two salvos would splort them effectively, freeing me up to focus on ground-bound enemies. As with all questions, the answer to cacodemons is siege mode.

Re: lava... regardless of if it is correct or redundant to refer to liquid volcanic rock as 'molten lava,' you are in a foundry--the hot stuff in there is indeed molten metal, not lava. Love the intermission, on a related note.

Okay, I know that gameplay and story are more segregated in this game than Mississippi in 1932, but I think I deserve some kind of explanation for how killing a bunch of demons stops a reactor from melting down. I mean, could we have at least gotten DG pushing a button or something? I don't think that's too much to ask.

HELL-HOT, yeah! And the HELL-HOT was making all of the other stuff, normally only used to "molten-metal-and-reactor-core-hot," overheat, and so it was melting down. So killing all of the demons made all of the HELL-HOT-ness dissipate (which was expedited by the extra ventilation most of the deaths gave the demons), so it wasn't too... hot... any more. Yeah. Marvelous comparison, btw. azren fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Aug 24, 2016 |

Then the demons showed up, because they really, really hate fans. Sure, they torture people in hell, but that's only because people create fans. loving fans. And then it doesn't inform you that the reactor is fixed til all the demons are dead because it's busy informing you that it won't open the doors til all the demons are dead before that.

Okay, I've had some issues with my software, which turned into issues with hardware, solving which caused more issues with software, which caused the lack of updates. Now everything has been solved and as soon as I get to record commentary, the next update will be up. Hopefully, tomorrow. It's like this LP is cursed. Apologies for the delay.

When my mac power supply had connection issues, cutting into the thing with a dremel was half trying to fix the problem, and half incredibly satisfying. Naturally it turned out the problem was the cable, not the box, and my solder-and-electrical-tape fix had a habit of getting uncomfortably hot, but it was still satisfying.

Alexy, you don't use the rocket launcher, you prefer the burst on the shotgun to grenades, and you think your '3' key is linked to a machine gun. Do you just hate explosions? That said, it's certainly interesting to see a play through where everything on screen isn't exploding at all times.

I don't hate explosions, but now that I think of it, I do generally prefer more elegant means of dispatching my opponents, such as tearing them apart with my bare hands or blowing them open with the Super Shotgun and railg... I mean the Gauss Cannon

I have to admit I really felt like the heavy rifle scope was the most "odd man out" of all the weapon upgrades, considering how it basically requires you to stand in place with something that doesn't kill rapidly, in a fast-paced gunfight. I much preferred the micromissiles, which were INCREDIBLY fun once maxed out. Maybe not the most effective option in the game, but very satisfying nonetheless.

To be fair, it doesn't force you to sit still, it just makes you want to be farther away. And the weapon option that does make you sit still is a fan favorite that's been mentioned repeatedly for good reason. One thing I enjoy about all these early mods is that the two options all feel really different from each other. The scope and the micro launcher turn the rifle into two almost completely different weapons.
