The biggest issue with Duke 3D are its confusingly named multiple releases: Duke 3D. Duke 3D Megaton Edition. Duke 3D Atomic Edition. Duke 3D Plutonium PAK. Duke 3D Kill-A-Ton Collection. Duke 3D Nuclear Proliferation. Duke 3D MAD.

Oh, look there's World Warrior on one end of the arcade with a crowd. Wait, there's Super Turbo on the opposite side.

I think the best games are designed around one, singular difficulty so the design focus stays sharp. Many games are this way, and then they tack on the arbitrary easy difficulty: 50% health and hard difficulty: 200% health and then people end up playing a gimped version of the game that was never meant to be and your opinion of the game suffers for it. Perfect example is Dusk's "Ultra-Violence" equivalent. I felt compelled to use it because i play UV in Doom. This is apparently a really bad idea.

Dusk’s UV equivalent would be Cero Miedo, which is a fine difficulty to play the game on. Its nightmare equivalent is the one that’s a bad idea, because every enemy kills you in one hit.

Yeah, CM is the best difficulty to play Dusk on. The easier ones are too boring. The Scythe start modifier is neat, but throwing stuff is so strong in that game that it's really just more of a nuisance than anything lol

anatomi posted:Doom is one of those games, I guess? I find it hilarious that anyone's self-esteem would be so fragile that a tongue in cheek riffing (and suitable given the context) would them feel the sads. I don't mind Doom's names. They're amusing and not mean. Heck, even baby bonnet BJ is pretty funny. But there are games where on anything less than the highest difficulty the end is cut off, instead giving you a "you suck play the REAL game" screen, and those can gently caress right off.

There's nothing unreasonable about it, it's not exactly a difficult game by any means.

I love the gently caress out of Quake 1.5. The new minibosses and bosses are so drat entertaining. One thing I can't get working is windowed fullscreen though. I have an ultrawidescreen 3440x1440 and the darkplaces engine can run at it in full screen mode fine. I use quake parameters to put it into windowed mode and with the set height and width code:This is both running with Borderless Gaming and without.

Finally switched Wolfenstein Colossus down to an easier difficulty level and having more fun with it. If you're going to make your stealth sections into a blind game of hide and seek I'm just going to mow through Nazis and see your cutscenes.

Personally, I think a megawad that really analysed and utilized John Romero's style would be loads of fun. Knee Deep in the Dead is easily the best episode of any Doom. I think people are too harsh on him.

Wow that Doomworld thread was a disaster. The old DW newproject macro would have been appropriate for the actual megawad being proposed quote:Kevansevans, before you start asking for help on your new mega-cool-and-whatnot project, make sure you have something to show first (screenshots, map downloads, etc). Keep in mind we've already seen the thousands of upcoming projects that actually never got done. How does the Doom Wiki not have an entry for newproject

I hadn't noticed when it changed, but I had noticed the change. Not that I cared, she is who she wants to be and it's none of my business. Non sequitur, but I've been trying Far Cry out today, and drat this thing's hard, even on Normal. Feels like they're all crack shots while I'm decidedly not. I didn't check that "AI adapts" box on the difficulty select, since I have no idea if that'll make the game easier or way harder or what, so I'm stuck with whatever difficulty the AI is usually set to here. I also kind of want a melee attack or instant kill for successfully sneaking up on enemies, if they're going to play up stealth as much as they seem to be (at any rate, it seems like the best way to not die in five seconds). Actually, what I really want is a quicksave button; I can gun down several dudes but get shot in the back by one I didn't see in time, and have to shoot all those dudes again from square one because the checkpoints are just sparse enough to be annoying...

Remember to download the unofficial patch that fixes enemies being able to see you through tents. There's a way to enable quicksaving but it has a good chance of messing with the AI so I don't recommend it.
