Not made up my mind on how I feel about permanent upgrades being behind secrets, but yeah, this is the closest I'm gonna get to Marathon 4 so lets do it, folks. Did you try out Apotheosis X? It’s a really good-looking Aleph One TC that came out in the winter, I had a blast with it. And tbh am having a blast replaying it alongside Supplice. It’s like having two Marathon 4s at once! Also free. https://simplici7y.com/items/apotheosis-x-5

Absolutely cruel to trap you in a small room with you and have his spawn be triggered on reading a terminal to progress. On the other hand a full charged alt fire from the otherwise so far really middling flame launcher is a kill on him.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:One of my biggest issues with PW was how easy it was, so hopefully not! You can break Project Warlock over your knee with the right weapon upgrades, so much so that you'll never need to use magic. I think my favorite upgrades were the one that made the chaingun just plain better in all respects, and the shotgun upgrades that turn it into an flaming flak cannon that can shoot twice with full "pellet" spread before going to the reload animation. My memory's kinda fuzzy.

Yea supplice got harder on level 2 but thats mostly because of the limited ammo scattered around and how most enemies they throw at you don't drop ammo.

Map 2 had a serious ammo scarcity, I finished it up with almost 0. I don't know if the intento is for you to still use the drill. Map 4 is a bit weird, imo it's easier than map 2 and map 3, because it has too many resources everywhere.

A Doom movie or TV show should be a slam dunk. The Mars, future tech and satanism aesthetics combined with a marines vs hellspawn narrative is a fantastic base to build a half decent story. But no one has even gotten the basics right, let alone written a good story.

Word on the street is that after being fired from DC, getting body slammed out of the Fast & Furious Franchise, and the next Jumanji possibly being the last, the Rock may actually reprise his role in DOOM TV and "reboot a beloved classic".

The Doom series news came from Giant Freakin Robot. The site that makes poo poo up out of whole cloth and has claimed, on multiple occasions, that Kathleen Kennedy was being forced out of Lucasfilm. It's bullshit. Al Cu Ad Solte posted:The 2005 Doom movie is an enjoyable trash movie to me but only because it spends a large percentage of its runtime ripping off entire scenes from Aliens. I don't mind the Doom movie (I never saw the newer one), and it's decent enough to put on as background noise when I'm working on a writing project or doing dishes and laundry or whatever. But then again, I have a high tolerance for trash, as I own the 1994 Street Fighter movie on both DVD and Blu-ray.

I finished Supplice, including the bonus map, that is E3M1. Weapons: Great job. Mechanically speaking, they offer some improvements imo over the OG Doom's weapons. -The drill is nice by itself but the star of the show is the alternative fire, solving the issue of 'what happens if the player depletes all ammo?' question. The alt fire still gives you a short range option that kills basic enemies in one hit, and as it's slowly rechargable, you can use 4 shorts in succession (enough to kill a few enemies, not enough to be abusable). The powerup that gives it flames rocks too, it seems to triple or quadruple the damage of the drill, and it isn't time based, but fuel based (you get x uses). -The single rifle has an interesting burst pattern, giving it a bit of personality, slightly slow but reliable. Better than the Doom's pistol. And in the 'double AR' configuration is a solid weapon of choice, overall decent against all enemies. -The shotgun is great thanks the alt fire, giving you the best both the both worlds (of the world of shotguns) : you can have both the semi action choice, firing at good pace, and the 'slow to reload but boomy' choice. Great boom sound effect by the way. -The RL equivalent (although it's number 6) has two nice features: big blast radius, rewarding you with good placement in groups of enemies (which imo is more interesting than 'just a weapon with high DPS to use against the elite enemies'), and it has a slight arc, making it harder to use as sniper weapon against distant targets. The alt fire is pretty spectacular against hordes, btw. -The minigun is a lot of dakka, and it seems you can place several with the alt fire, not only one. Enemies: -I wish the normal zombie and the shotgun zombie looked a bit more different, like the more dangerous one should have a read or yellow strip of color. -The imp can do a short dash, giving it an edge of danger fighting a few of them and being distracted with other enemies, making the game overall more twitchy. -Same with the big mutants, that maybe are the replacement of the pinkies but honestly, they are more different, faster and more aggressive, tougher too, so their role isn't the same. Again, they make the game a bit more twitchy than Doom. -The weird floating orbs are cool, if only because I like their death animation a lot. -The lost soul replacement can spit venom which is ok, giving it a bit more of versatility. But they aren't as a cool as a flaming skull that makes weird noises. The egg thingie that spawns them is also ok, it's something with higher priority target obviously, but I hope it exists apart from something else that replaces the Pain Elemental, as they just lack any charisma or soul that a good monster can have (I mean, it's just an egg, boring!). -The chain guy is fine once you find them in open spaces, their combo of fire bombs and chains is cool; but they are a pain in the pass in close quarters. Again, more aggressive than the average Doom monster. -The final boss is nothing to write home about, I'm thinking how it could be used in later episodes in the role of 'normal monster'. It would be like the Spider Mastermind? -Overall I felt that in the 5th map I knew them well, I hope for one more enemy type to appear there. I guess they will have a pair of new enemies on each new episode. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Apr 8, 2023 |

I finished Supplice early access right now and Turin Turambar seems pretty spot on. My only points of embellishment are: The shotgun's primary fire is so fast, damaging, and accurate that its an absolute workhorse for you, its like someone souped up the basic shotgun in Doom to some sort of alternate evolutionary path Super Shotgun. The rocket launcher weapons primary fire was pretty limited for me in use to hitting the floating hearts since its splash zone is pretty small, but its secondary fire deletes things and obliterates any mobs in its neighborhood so its go some real functionality. I hate the eggs, but I hate all enemies that just infinitely respawn. The final note you uncover seems to imply that those enemies can infect corpses to make the pinkie equivalents, but if they do that never once happens in the first episode as far as I can tell. You get the chaingun in the literal last fight and it feels really underwhelming. You can put the weapon down for support fire but that takes nearly 1/3rd your total ammo to do so and the reward is... a second gun firing that runs out of ammo pretty dang quick. The primary fire is pretty accurate and deadly, but its hard to compare DPS versus the twin assault rifles it competes with. Feels like a great single-target delete-r but its secondary fire works aggressively against that and completely fails to challenge the rocket launcher secondary fire in its niche. I think the game needs Doom 4/5s weapon wheel/slow down time feature because the weapons all have fairly good niches where I want to swap between them and I can already tell that I'm gonna get caught scrolling between guns as the roster of weapons increases in size.
