Do you get bonus points for playing DOOM with a Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitar?

Can we rig up the drum set to work as a controller?

Replace the combat challenges with style point multipliers for killing demons in increasingly awesome ways.

Additionally, whenever you get the Berzerk power up, all demons should explode into ammo & health when punched or ripped apart

There’s far more intense things in the official Doom releases. This is from Final Doom, so it was officially released and runs on the original Doom engine. It’s the origin of what are called slaughtermaps, maps full of tons of enemies for you to overcome.

If you’re ideologically opposed to slaughtermaps for some reason (and you shouldn’t be, they’re incredible) here’s John Romero’s incredible Perfect Hatred from Ultimate Doom:

Also there is definitely enough ammo in Courtyard without needing to pull out a berserk fist or chainsaw.

After enemy number 300 I tend to get tired of looking at the same map.

I think people remember the original doom wrong. They probably played mods or something?

This is probably one of the most enemy dense maps in the game and the pace and action of the game is NOT more intense than Doom 2016...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eDjo6VjqsY

If anything the crazier parts of Doom 2016 were way more intense. The footage of Doom: Eternal where the doomguy is flying all over the place and grappling with demons and dash jumping and glory killing is way more fast paced

You cannot talk about OG Doom without accounting for WADs and tbh DO4M is incredible but still worse than the best WADs

Yeah, DO4M's levels are still just a bunch of monster arenas seperated by tunnels, some of the best Doom maps made me think about level design in ways I hadn't before.

This would actually be pretty awesome because the enemies in doom pretty much melt if you so much as sneeze in their direction unlike like serious sam enemies which frequently number in the hundreds and are all also ridiculous bullet sponges.

On the topic of a Quake remake, in Quake Champions they mentioned making sure they had lore to help give a foundation to any future Quake games.

For Doom related stuff, I was rewatching the gameplay footage and I think think I see mechs in the background of the 2nd gameplay section.

Dude I'm waiting for him to post what I said that was so aggressive.

Someone asked for an opinion, I gave it, and a ton of people got butthurt and had to mock me because glory kills are how they identify or something.

In what world am I responsible for threadshitting and not them?

People mocked you, but nobody was butthurt, they were merely responding. You seem to be projecting a lot of your own frustrations and butthurt onto the other posters who were simply... arguing the other side of the point we're discussing :confused:

This is why people say you're threadshitting your own thread--the fact that the clear majority of people enjoy the GKs and think they're good outweighs the people who don't like them and think they're bad (which is fine), but you can't handle that and accuse the thread of wanting to be an "echo chamber for the most popular take"

r/doom was goddamn insufferable in the days after Quakecon. So many chuds feeling validated by that stupid "Demon is an offensive term" bit. Between that and the female Doom movie protag, the mods made a pinned post about "no more politics"

We live in a hell dimension, that much is clear. Any ideas how we can summon Doomguy's cleansing fire?

It's not that far of a leap to make in the current climate of the US and Europe. That "mortally challenged" gag plus the corporate speak on accepting our new visitors from hell reads like the worst nightmares of a growing number of people, this discussion on Eternal probably isn't going away any time soon. It's still dumb tho

Where did I say I can't handle that? I EXPLICITLY said I was even okay with glory kills being in the game for people who like them. Go read my first post about it, its there.

I'm fine with differing opinions on glory kills. But for daring to say I didn't like them they mocked me, not because I said "you're retarded if you like glory kills". Go read my posts, I never said that.

It's even more odd with the very angry posts about Dark Souls earlier, and how everyone who has a problem with, say, it being difficult to tell when the game is being hard as hell because it wants you to do something else versus the game being difficult because it's just a difficult game, is an idiot who can't understand how to play properly.

Like, criticizing glory kills, which have a clear purpose, set the game's pacing, and generally make the game's combat more engaging, that's good and righteous and only people who dislike them can be called adults.

Meanwhile, criticizing Dark Souls's signposting, which has given a lot of players trouble over the years and is still a problem games in the subgenre are trying to solve, that's beyond the pale.

No dude, that's not reasonably fair. What words do I have to type to say "its okay if you like glory kills but I don't"

There is no universe in which Jack Trades or Donovan Trip are being reasonable but I'm not. You have to admit they're threadshitting too, at the very least.

And then you can go back and see my first post was just responding to someone literally asking "what do you guys think of glory kills" and I didn't call out Jack Trades by quoting him or mocking him or anything.

So again, how is this my fault?

A quick search on mortally challenged shows this argument is already in swing. I didn't think the joke was offensive but it's certainly close to mocking PC culture and to me that seems like a pointless and careless tread.

Thanks for being a reasonable and rational adult.
to the first person to agree with you, despite the fact that there were plenty of posts disagreeing with you in a reasonable and rational adult fashion. You seem to be fixated on two specific posters and whether they're threadshitting, and I'm not interested in arguing that. You think they're trolling, cool, it doesn't bother me and neither does their posting.

But because two posters are annoying you, you're wondering things like:

quote:

Does every thread have to just be an echo chamber for the most popular take? Can we not be adults about having differing opinions?
This is part of why you're being mocked and why nobody's taking you seriously and you're being perceived as the sole/primary threadshitter, regardless of whether that's actually true--again, not interested in debating whether other posters are badposting because I don't see it as relevant. If you think other posters badposting means you should get a free pass to badpost, guess what? You're not the one "being an adult," as you put it.

hope that helps!
