First time I've watched a g(g)man video in a while. I see he dropped one of the G's. Smart move. Smart move. I'm judging him for playing with mouselook and a crosshair though.

Johnny Joestar posted:wait, sigil isn't even in doom 2? Oh poo poo, lol, I didn't know that. Limiting yourself to Doom 1 assets because some nebulous/nostalgic reason like 'it's like it was an extra episode for Doom 1, done as if it was the 90s' is just silly. It's 25 years later, at this point I don't care about being 'faithful' to Doom 1. On the other hand I don't have a problem on using elements like 'tight spaces', 'not a lot of ammo' and 'darkness' as a way to make it difficult. It seems Romero has tried to do a Doom episode leaning a bit on the concept of survival horror, with unexpected enemies, dark locations, claustrophobic passages, and little ammo, and not a 'Doom of going rambo' which is what most people supposed.

If my point wasn't clear, it's that Romero has now released 11 additional maps for Doom 1 (13 if you count the ones in Ep4) after Doom II came out, and zero for Doom II. I wonder why that is.

I wonder why that is. When he first made a new map to replace one in Episode 1, he said it was his first time touching Doom levels since he worked at iD. And that he chose to do the two episode 1 maps because of, he had not been main designer on their original version. And then he said he want to do a larger project than single level, but not a whole game. So he decided to make a 5th episode because he thought they should have 5 episodes in Doom 1 from the start. Perhaps he will make Doom II works now that he have finished the episode? Or maybe he will do another Doom episode to bring up Doom to have 6 episode just like Wolf 3D and original Doom plans had. As is, it all makes sense he has not done a new Doom II level yet

It could also simply be he’s more comfortable with the balance of monsters and weapons in terms of map making than Doom 2 and feels he puts out better work for Doom 1

Bummer about Sigil. The first trailer looked really fun. I know someone asked a page or two ago about Doom on Android, but is there any way to get it working on iOS without jailbreaking? Or are there any games in early FPS style? The only thing I can find is Xibalba (which is still really fun).

Going to take a controversial opinion here and say that the guy who thought that Fallout 76 was good may not be a good barometer of quality or taste. I'm a little past the halfway mark on Sigil and I quite like it. Challenging, but in more interesting ways than just hurling hordes at the player. I like how it defines a new visual "theme" using just the vanilla assets instead of retreading the old IWAD styles. I also like the whole mechanic about shooting the EvilEyes, it's simple but effective.

People gotta realize that Sigil wasn't supposed to be some kind of second-coming messiah super mega blaster ultra detailed map pack like Eviternity, Hurt, BTSX or whatever. It's supposed to have the same level of detail of the rest of Ultimate Doom. Besides, people complaining about free stuff as always. For gently caress's sake.

Yeah I have no idea what people expected from Sigil. If you've played the map replacements Romero made for Doom already, you'd know exactly what to expect. Perfectly competent maps, but he hasn't been soaking in the community for the past 20-odd years like the current modders are so of course he's not gonna just show up and rock out god's gift to doom. The maps are fine. Some neat little setpieces, not hard to look at, but it's definitely the work of someone who hasn't touched the game much in a very long time and is jumping back in. I think they're fun, but unless you're really hoping to enjoy some neat collectibles or you wanna enjoy a Buckethead soundtrack, just play the free version in a week. (The Buckethead music is pretty good btw and I'm looking forward to replaying it with the midi tracks to compare.)

this thread, along with many other communities, have spent quite a lot of time weighing in on what they think of an absolute glut of free content that's been available for decades now, and i'm not going to stop now just because john romero is the person behind the helm of the latest installment. especially since half the time people get into lengthy discussions about what doom 1 or 2 maps they enjoy as it is, and last i checked john romero was sort of involved in that whole 'thing', supposedly. the whole 'it's free so stop criticizing it' crock of poo poo has never held any water and isn't going to stop people from doing what they're going to do, which is talk about the aspects of crap they do or don't enjoy

GGGman has never had anything interesting or of substance to say in any of his videos and he has lovely surface-level opinions on just about everything. He's ten million "does this work with brutal doom?" comments distilled into a youtuber.

We're talking about lovely youtubers anyway so it's best to just disregard.

That's why he used the limited edition with goodies as a workaround to win money :P I watched some levels, and actually looks pretty decent given the self imposed constraints of designing as a unofficial E5 for Doom 1, including tech, art, enemies, etc.

So I've been replaying Doom 2 properly for the first time since I was a kid, with Gzdoom and Beautiful Doom and it was great fun, and am now looking to move on a bit. I did look at the OP in this thread and their linked of recommended mods is a little bit daunting. So going through the last few pages, I did pick up Final Doomer and Heretical Doom, but haven't really touched them yet, look like fun gameplay mods. Any other gameplay mods to recommend? I also like smooth animations, big sounds, and satisfying gun feel. I did try Brutal Doom a while back and while at first I was into it, I felt like the actual gameplay changes were a bit harsh... Also any suggestions for maps, like a campaign ala a Doom episode? If possible, nothing too crazy hard please - some of the map packs I was casually browsing through seemed to be designed for people who have been playing for 20+ years. And not too many ambushes please, I absolutely hated the Doom 2 level Monster Closet because it felt like that's all it was, in various forms, over and over again.

DRLA and Guncuster are popular, although I don't have experience with them. Some extra mods to enhance the game are Doom HQ music https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=24423 Doom HQ Sfx https://www.perkristian.net/game_doom-sfx.shtml Droplets https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46509 For enemy variety, you have Shades of Doom https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=57310 - it gives random skins to the enemies, but they fight the same Super Shuffle https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=56220 - real enemy variety (enemy randomizer) For levels, this year people are recommending Eviternity, Hurt and The Slaughter Spectrum. From past years, you can look at the cacowards of 2018 and 2017. From past years, personally I loved Deus Vult II.
