Cream-of-Plenty posted:Side note, I loving love "Going Down". Haven't beaten it completely yet, but it seems like every couple of levels has a really neat mechanic going on that I don't usually see in MegaWADs. For example, "Demonology" has a narrow room that is filled with pillars, except there are triggers all over the place to drop each of the pillars, revealing an enemy. The first time, you might stumble over one, causing an enemy to appear from behind, and as you spin around and backpedal, you set off another pillar, and then two more, and it's just a hectic (but really cool) mess. I love "Dead End" for the same reasons. Step somewhere, walls drop and enemies pour out. Move somewhere to kill them, more walls drop, more enemies. Move to a previously cleared room and the walls drop with even more. I don't think I stopped moving and firing after the first 30 seconds of that map.

site posted:did have one question from the video though: you had mentioned in the inferno levels (i think) that one of the demon head wall textures was actually an arch-vile and that there was a story behind it or something, but you never got around to talking about it. Do you remember anything about that? Romero keeps changing his story about it so I don't know how accurate this is, but this is how I understand it: That texture (MARBFAC2) is based on a concept drawing Adrian Carmack did during Doom 1 development for a monster they called the "Medic", which ultimately didn't make the cut for the final game. When the Medic concept got resurrected (lol) for the Arch-Vile during Doom 2 development, the head of the digitized version of Gregor Punchatz's latex model was edited to more closely resemble the original Medic drawing. If you look at the Arch-Vile's final sprites, you can see the four tube-like structures around the mouth and smooth head which match MARBFAC2 but aren't present on the model. So long story short, the Arch-Vile sort of got retconned into being in Doom 1. A similar thing happened with the Icon of Sin, of course, but that one's a whole lot more obvious.

Had to hit Google to get a big enough screen cap from D2 to compare but yeah I can see it. I don't suppose they ever gave a reason for cutting it from D1? I'm sure it was nothing more than time purposes, but due to the nature of the character I'm a little curious if they had problems with balance or something.

The arch-vile really stands out in my mind as a particularly distinct FPS enemy. A "support" style opponent that is surprisingly durable, with the ability to resurrect most un-gibbed corpses...but also possesses a devastating line-of-sight attack that cannot miss. It's an interesting combination of roles that makes the arch-vile dangerous in a variety of scenarios, whether it's in a busy room where it can constantly revive other monsters, or alone in an area where it can "snipe" you with its attack. And the fact that the attack picks you up and throws you means that the arch-vile can also be used as a sort of obstacle in a way that most other opponents cannot.

Hell, it's barely even a mention, it's just tacked onto the description of a forum that has all of two topics, neither of which are related to Powerslave.

Just played Going Down Map 26 "Insanity" for the first time. I had some music playing in the background and this song started playing right from the start. The first 8 seconds of distorted noises synced up perfectly with the elevator "experience" at the very beginning of the map, and things kicked up perfectly when I began to run around like a chicken with my head cut off.

Insanity is the high point of Going Down. The wad kind of started to drag a bit near the end, but that level really brought a little more life into it right where it was needed.

The half-finished Blood stream that succeeded it will never see the light of day again, though. What a clusterfuck that was. And I'll never, ever do an proper LP thread again. Way too much commitment.

I reckon you should try Final Doom, it's like a step-up in difficulty (especially Plutonia). Alternatively, you could try the Master Levels but they aren't as good in my opinion.

Keep in mind that most wads will be a huge step-up in difficulty from vanilla D2. Either Scythe or Alien Vendetta are excellent introductions to Doom wads, then you can figure out what kind you like.

You can also play Doom the Way Id Did (DTWID) and its sequel, D2TWID. They're both really, really good wads in the style of the originals and they're roughly the same level of difficulty as the originals.

Alien Vendetta might be a little tough depending on your Doom skills. It was my first WAD too, but by then I was playing Doom for nearly 15 years (I still found it hard  ). That said, it's still really really good.RyokoTK posted:You can also play Doom the Way Id Did (DTWID) and its sequel, D2TWID.

It seems compatible with Smooth Doom & related addons, too. The new weapons/enemies override things automatically without conflict, which is good. Edit: Scratch that. Compatibility falls apart after a couple weapons. Vanilla-ish it is, then. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Feb 7, 2015 |

Valiant has a very Scythe 2-ish feel to it, judging by the first chapter. It's really good. I've only seen one new monster but it was still cool. Kind of a shame that it has the embedded weapons and monsters, just because this would be the kind of wad to play with Demonsteele or something. Oh well!
