Had to do some really strategic dodging to feed him 2-3 rockets to lower his HP a little bit. Super solid, nice looking map, slightly mazey at points, but definitely has it's own ideas for design, and as you said, it feels like logical evolution of Quake.

Man I got Doom2 again after like a quarter century and I'm getting my butt kicked by some of these WADs. I'm Edge-of-Tomorrowing some of these fights over dozens of attempts. Still remember all those sounds.

The best Serious Sam game is the demo version of The First Encounter, played on your brand new computer with Windows XP. Also I believe Serious Sam was the first game that was made explicitly as a call back to earlier titles in the FPS genre, not following the then-current trend of linear movie-like Half-Life'sque experiences, or the upcoming deluge of World War II games, following the huge success of MoH:AA

Wait Serious Sam came out only 4.5 years after Quake? I guess time really moves slower when you're young

Quake was released in June, 1996. Quake II was released in December, 1997. I was so sure it was like 3 or 4 years between them, but nope. 18 months.

Really grateful to be part of the millenial cohort who discovered Doom via a friend whose older brother/uncle/dad installed it on the family PC and you got to play it as a group experience when you went over to their house.

I've been playing Doom 1 and 2 via GZDoom with the Brutal Doom mod, and gently caress, I don't think there's a better feeling FPS than this, is there? It just feels so satisfying just killing and gibbing things. Vanilla Doom already feels very satisfying, but with Brutal Doom is just pure glee. Rip and tear indeed.

It really is crazy when you think about stuff like going from Doom to Unreal Tournament 99 in the course of ~6 years.

What blows my mind is if you built a top of the line gaming computer in 1997 it was hopelessly out of date by 2000 to the point where a new game probably doesn’t even run. Meanwhile, that top of the line gaming rig you built in 2012 can probably still play most games today at medium settings / 1080p.

It's a good thing, too, because the video card I bought 4 years ago costs nearly 4x as much today as it did back then.

I have a GTX 1060 just laying around in case I ever want to play something at 144hz again (because I buy cheap monitors apparently) and it's nice knowing I have a backup cash fountain in case my car breaks down or something.

It'll take either the EU or the US regulating crypto currency, or several whales trying to cash out at once and discovering that the only thing propping up the price are the miners and brokers buying up small transactions and encouraging the rubes to "buy and hold! we're going to the moooooooooooon!"

Carpator Diei posted:If you like Brutal Doom's gameplay, the Project Brutality mod might also be worth checking out; it's basically a Brutal Doom fork that adds a whole bunch of additional monsters, weapons and miscellaneous stuff. Just be aware that while both mods are technically compatible with most WADs, the majority of WADs are very much not designed for that kind of gameplay, so if things get overly difficult it's not necessarily your or the mapper's fault. There is a dedicated Brutal Doom map-pack, but it doesn't have a particularly good reputation regarding map quality, as far as I know. Nice, thanks for the info! I was wondering about Project Brutality too, gonna need to check it out after I'm finished with my current Brutal Doom run.

I have the same card! Built my current system in 2016. I just checked the price for the 1060 6gb and  Hope my system can stay relevant for another 5 years and Crypto finally fucks off (lol it won’t).
