Some annotation line in his code concerning some enemy burning from plasma shots that read something like "this turns a white dude into a n****r faster than rap".

It was a code comment regarding the effects of the Plasma Rifle, IIRC.

Really, Mark's alienated people in so many different ways that it's hard to keep track of them all and they tend to change and evolve with every retelling. Kind of like some old frontier fable passed down through oral tradition, except instead of the subject lassooing a tornado or whatever he pisses a bunch of people off.

It's basically BD++ with a ton of new weapons and enemies, and a pretty well-designed difficulty system which adds tougher monster variants as your own arsenal also expands. The newest version has been in the works for over a year now, and there's also an "official" campaign being worked on. If you want quad-miniguns and also an even bigger minigun that spitts out AP rounds then it might be the mod for you.

Oh this sounds like what I might want for Hellground. So you get better capabilities and the monsters get crazier with you? That sounds great.

Yeah, it's a randomizer mod with a "Dynamic Progression" system in place that keeps things more balanced than most such randomizer mods. Several guns even have upgrades you can find.

E: No clue whether the test version or the last official release is better right now tho.

it more or less ramps up the difficulty based on how many maps the level pack you're using has, so if it's a short 8 maps or something things will crank up quickly while a 32 map megawad or whatever might have a couple levels at the beginning where nothing all that different goes on

eventually you'll be hitting the point where there's stuff like the cyborg and ifrit hell baron variants and multiple flavors of mancubus trundling into view regularly. or the weird ice-themed archviles. or the super lategame cacodemon/pain elemental replacement that pretty much spews out a bullet hell spray of energy.

you kind of need the weapons and their upgrades

No that sounds perfect. Hellground or whatever it is 32 levels that are really pretty with atrociously boring difficulty so it’s good to play with a gameplay mod to cut down on the monotony.

it also gives a point to every weapon even if there's roughly 2-3 for every slot, which is nice. the altfires and alternate firing modes for each gun add a lot.

Hellbound is amazing in its ability to reduce even the most ridiculous gameplay mods to tedium for me. My last attempt was with guncaster. There will probably not be another. It's a shame, the maps really are fantastic to look at.

Right, but I agree with Babylon that the point should be made that there are legit exceptions to that.

Also disagree. I’m not gonna suddenly stop playing BD because I didn’t do enough research into what an rear end in a top hat the creator is. I support everyone’s right to choose and think there is no best version of doom and there’s no reason to mod shame folks. I don’t have to like Sgt Mk or whatever his name is to enjoy shooing bloody demons. If his weird racist poo poo made it into the content of his mods I’d feel differently.

You guys know what the word "if" means right? Classic goon agreeing with something but for their reading comprehension. I'm literally OK with being discriminatory against games made by racist weirdos. That's fine if it means I have arbitrary limits on the things I support. I'm elitist in that sense.

I appreciate all the clarification provided over the last page. I honestly don’t know anything about the culture of popular Doom mod devs, and it’s nice to have to some context on how the bigger dogs affect the culture. Honestly, even though I like BD, I’d be happier supporting someone who isn’t an outright shithead, and if people vouch for Brutality’s dev, that’s good enough for me to switch over.

After all, it’s just about shooting pixel demons. There’s no reason to be a petty, racist vindictive piece of poo poo over this stuff.

I wish he would be more cooperative, but he just keeps pushing people away, so honestly, I personally would rather see these two projects go their own seperate ways for the better. If PB can make its guns more oomphy, it'll be a pretty good improvement to the point of overtaking BD in terms of quality and fun.

To those goons who get into the politics of mod makers, do you research that first when looking at what mods you might want to play, and weed out poo poo based on incompatible beliefs, or do you play the stuff and then find out later that these weirdo creators want to bring back slavery and ban woman voting or wtf they're doing. Also I have no idea still what gamergate is. I've spent the last several years avoiding words like SJW, chud, gamergate. anykind of gate, and probably a few. Hate politics.

Btw, the above question is not meant to provoke; I'm not looking for a "right" answer. I'm just curious.

You find out later most of the time, assuming the mod maker's blog/zdoom thread/readme isn't filled with dodgy poo poo that sets off alarm bells, because people tend to be less openly bigoted in places where there is a risk of repercussion (which is why it's important not to just brush all of this under the carpet).

No one's going to judge you for playing Brutal Doom if you don't know the stuff people in the community know about its author, but if you do know and play it anyway, that's on you to assume. :shrug:

Thankfully, Wikipedia can help:

quote:

A gamergate (/ˈɡæmərˌɡeɪt/) is a mated worker ant that is able to reproduce sexually, i.e. lay fertilized eggs that will develop as females. Gamergates are restricted to taxa where the workers have a functional sperm reservoir ('spermatheca'). In various species, gamergates reproduce in addition to winged queens (usually upon the death of the original foundress), while in other species the queen caste has been completely replaced by gamergates. In gamergate species, all workers in a colony have similar reproductive potentials, but as a result of physical interactions, a dominance hierarchy is formed and only one or a few top-ranking workers can mate (usually with foreign males) and produce eggs. Subsequently however, aggression is no longer needed as gamergates secrete chemical signals that inform the other workers of their reproductive status in the colony.

Depending on the species, there can be one gamergate per colony (monogyny) or several gamergates (polygyny). Most gamergate species have colonies with a few hundred or fewer workers.

So basically, incels are outraged at the idea that females can increase their social ranking by banging foreign males.

Makes sense to me.
