Powered up SSG is actually a pretty ridiculous gun. Can make short work out of Barons and Hell Knights.

Dyz posted:One thing doom1 and 2 did better than 2016 is not gating off the level. So you could rip and tear through the entire level, then go back and look for secrets. It felt especially jarring because they only start doing that halfway through the game. I got used to going back really far looking for secrets early on but then when you get to hell suddenly gates start closing behind you for no real reason.

Yeah, with full upgrades the SSG almost replaces the rocket launcher, for me. The railgun remains the weapon of choice for mancubi, but otherwise, the SSG can do pretty much anything other than angled shots against pinkies and shield-bearing security guys.

Last I checked my stats i had over 2000 kills with the double barrel shotgun. #2 was the regular shotgun at just over 200. The double barrel is my favourite melee weapon in any game ever

I just wanted to provoke some replies. Also i genuinely remember the SSG to be, relatively speaking, better in Doom 2 (but that goes for most weapons) I guess it is because you meet less enemies in DOOM but each enemy is more difficult to kill now, so it seems that the weapons are weaker. You clear a room in the same amount of time i suppose.

Ineptitude posted:I just wanted to provoke some replies. Enemies have ai now so devs don’t have to spam them or build the map around them (monster closets) to make them dangerous. But seriously when you get the double shot and empty both into an enemies face in half a second it’s incredibly satisfying.

When I play DO4M I use mouse wheel up for gauss and mouse wheel down for SSG so I can combo both (and skip SSG's reload) even after a long jump. They're that good together.

The fully upgraded SSG still owns hard though. Circlestrafe a baron and bring him down in 5-6 hits, even faster if you're swapping the gauss rifle between reloads

Authorization:Olivia Pierce is one of my all-time favorites. You never forget that song when you boot up doomIneptitude posted:Double Barreled Shotgun, biggest dissapointment since Duke Nukem Forever. No joke, make an effort to finish the weapon challenges, because those are some extremely powerful upgrades. For example finishing the micro missile challenge makes it so that you can keep on firing them as long as you have the bullets, instead of shooting 8 missiles every few times. The super shotgun one is kinda annoying to get unless you simply die, repeat from checkpoint to shoot 6 zombies at one time, but just having that extra shell in the super shotgun turns it into my main murder tool Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Nov 7, 2017 |

Yeah, but it only liquefies like two, maybe three imps in one shot if you line them up right.

Ok the game is getting pretty good. It took a while to get started but it really opened up in the last mission before going to Hell. Its on me a bit too, FPSes i have played since the doom/quake generation taught us to be so conservative with "fancy gun" ammo, e.g. Half Life being really drat stingy with its rockets, so i keep sticking with basic weapons. What you should do in Doom is just go balls to the walls with all the cool guns, then once you are low on ammo just chain saw a dude in half to get filled up again. Also Arch Viles were my least favorite enemy in Doom 2 because they were so dangerous, and they have somehow made them even more dangerous, welp.

Using a chainsaw as an instrument might be the most inspired musical choice since Tchaikovsky considered cannon percussion.

The thread usually recommends remotely detonated rockets to take out shield guys but it's way more satisfying to plasma-stun them so they lower the shield and then give 'em both barrels of the SSG point blank.

No, you weren't imagining that--although last time I checked, I was unable to find the (previously) posted temporary store page for them and searching for them results in a lot of currently available stuff like the Pop dolls. They were definitely an upcoming "thing" though. I feel like they had a price of $50-60.

I finally got the Rich Get Richer rune and it's so nice. Almost like a classic Doom console command cheat. I cleared an entire room with all kinds of enemies using only the chaingun.

Guillermus posted:Shoot unlimited mini missiles with the HMG, feel like you are in Macross anime. Oh hell yeah, did that too, though the constant explosions can make it hard to see. Also, the rune challenge for Rich Get Richer is maybe the easiest one of them all. I was at full armour when I came across a bunch of armour pickups, so I used the rocket launcher to give myself a bit of splash damage and then I refilled my armour to full again. Did that half a dozen times so I'm almost done the challenge already. Lobok fucked around with this message at 13:28 on Nov 14, 2017 |

I keep coming back to this game since it's soo good and I finally unlocked the last 2 classic maps. (Saddened that the Phobos Anomaly map end didn't teleport you into a room with a bunch of demons assaulting you). I really wish they ported the all of the Doom and Doom 2 classic maps. The WADs that simulate Doom 4 weapons doesn't count!
