the opening to Tenements is kinda fricked up pistol start. You have to survive this room for like 45 seconds with 8 cacos, 4 chaingunners and a couple Imps and shotgunners taking potshots at you from afar. John Romero is making me his bitch all these years later

I pulled off two God tier run saves tonight and we'll frankly. I think doom might be one of the best games ever made. Anybody ever think this before?

its pretty cool that ID really had no idea how to use revenants in any of these maps but god bless them for that enemy design + death noise.

You can tell that Doom 2 levels 20+ are where id just said "gently caress it, let's just make one gimmick map after another"

Cyberdemon fights a Spiderdemon
A map where you get chased by exploding barrels
A map where you have to balance on perilously-thin ledges while being attacked by cacos and lost souls
A map where two spiderdemons fight each other in a room with a BFG, countless cells and an invuln sphere

and probably a couple others that I've forgotten

The cyberdemon/spiderdemon fight map was Romero but otherwise yeah, fair point

Play it in co-op sometime, there's an additional cyberdemon that spawns itself into a ceiling that is too low, so it gets stuck on top of a teleporter and just sits there waiting for you to telefrag it lmao

actually Gotcha and Barrels O' Fun are in my top 5 of doom II. im curious what ill think of chasm replaying w/o the mouse movement turned on lol. ill probably still hate it. same with uhh spirit world is the one i think you mentioned, forge tthe name but remember what level you're talking about. it does indeed suck rear end. i think one of the secrets is a completely regularly textured wall thats just fake and then the actual main path requires you to call a minimum height level lift to get into a blood river or something. stupid.

im hype to play living end again since the one time i ever played it i got scared byt the cybie at the end and just ran instantly to the exit. im a strong gamer now and will kill that son ofa bitch.

my top 5 (not in order) playing doom UVmax pistol start after spending all of 2022 going to Doom School:

Circle of Death
Gotcha
Barrels o Fun
Tricks and Traps
Inmost Dens

i also have a soft spot for Courtyards bc of how stupid it is.

Deathslinger
Jul 12, 2022

Mine would be, also in no particular order

Downtown
Barrels o Fun (hey, I never said running away from exploding barrels was bad)
The Chasm (although I never understood that weird blue room with the demons at the end - it felt shoehorned in, like it had been cut from another map)
Industrial Zone (the sheer verticality of it compared to everything that had come before)
Inmost Dens

i finished doom II today and within a few hours I was loading up more cacowards. Having a crippling doom addiction ftw

Jumpwad is impressive but after 3 maps I'm kind of over it.

kdikdizd basically exploits every little bug, quirk and oddity in the vanilla engine to frankly ridiculous extremes. for example, replacing rockets with an invisible solid object to act as the lion guy's shield and replacing the bfg shot with... a rocket, so the rocket launcher still has something to shoot. all sorts of weird backwards thinking like that to get the most out of limited dehacked frames

some ports like eternity that have demo compatibility with vanilla were able to handle this pretty well, but pretty much all the zdoom based ports go super far off the reservation due to all its expanded modding stuff so pretty much everything in it broke in half instantly, lol

so the latest versions of kdikdizd basically include a gzdoom mod inside of it that sandpapers over all the cracks that pop up in that port, while being completely ignored by every other port. not graceful, but it works and stays out of the way :v:

i dunno if essel has written up a guide to all the mad science kdikdizd does - i know it was considered - but if she does it'll probably be book length because jesus

edit: looks like she wrote some stuff up

awesome, ty!

tabled kdidizd for now but i was enjoying it. tried out Magenta Spire and Malevolence and wasnt really feeling either. magspire in particular is a supremely ugly mapset idk how it won a top10.

playing Overboard and its wicked fun.
