Reive posted:Still looks like rear end to me, then again I adore me some pixels, I wish there were a good modern Quake port that didn't filter the textures at all. You can turn off the texture filtering in Doom ports to preserve the grainy look, can't you do the same in Quake ports?

x!te bike posted:I think brutal doom is totally fine as a gimmick joke wad like simpsons doom or something but when people treat it like it's the only way to play the game it seems really weird. Why is it weird? I'm ok with people treating it like it's the only way to play the game if it makes it that much of an enjoyable experience for them. I think some people have said that some wads are too hard in Brutal Doom, but I definitely haven't seen anyone blame the mapper or anything and I'm sure if they tried it in vanilla Doom they'd have even less fun.

ten dollar bitcoin posted:I'm not saying loving with the wad author's intent is a big deal or anything, but maps aren't designed with the brutal doom balance changes in mind so some of them end up difficult to the point of being unfun. Uh so you agree with me? I mean my whole point was that Brutal Doom makes some maps way more difficult, and if someone really likes Brutal Doom over vanilla Doom they probably wouldn't have fun playing the map the way it was meant to be played. The only way I'd take issue over this is if the player criticized the mapper for it.

ten dollar bitcoin posted:You said they'd have less fun if they tried the map in vanilla doom. They'd probably have more fun because the map wouldn't be balls hard anymore. I'm considering this absurd scenario where someone plays and enjoys Brutal Doom because they're tired or bored of the mechanics in vanilla Doom.

WickedIcon posted:In some cases, I can see the argument, because if you change the gameplay too much you might as well just play another game instead of Doom. I don't understand how that argument is supposed to make sense. At what point does "you might as well just play another game" come in? Like, if I make a mod that adds CoD-style gameplay I might as well play CoD? What if you're changing the gameplay "too much" to create an experience you can't find in other games?

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I think it's a newer version of Skulltag, actually. Which is basically saying that yeah, they're related to (G)ZDoom renderers. I know that part, but Skulltag split off from an old version of gzdoom and they never ported over a lot of the significant updates that came in successive versions.

Spaz Medicine posted:It was such a big deal they actually patched quicksaves into the game. I like the checkpoint style, but it's good to have both options. Yeah checkpoints really didn't work all that well in Far Cry since it was a very methodical game with large open levels, so it was very easy to waste half an hour of effort spent setting up the perfect approach. In Just Cause 2, however, I love that I can play it how I want without having to go out of my way to save. When you screw something up, you never waste much time and there are no real penalties. Korendian Leader posted:You can think this and also dislike the gameplay and aesthetic changes that brutal doom introduce to the game. They're not mutually exclusive positions. Yeah, you can. It's just when you get on peoples' case for liking a different approach to the game that you enter crazytown, which tends to happen more towards Brutal Doom players than pistol start dudes. I can't remember if it was Tiger or not, but someone a couple pages back was lamenting that people had the absolute gall to request that a wad be made compatible with Brutal Doom.

Right at the start of the GORE3 text lump : Alright let me be real for a second here, there's a non-zero chance he copy-pasted some code from another mod and didn't notice the comment. I know I saw some equally crazy poo poo when cribbing from a bunch of wads to make my own. However that doesn't mean I'd be surprised if the Brutal Doom author turned out to be one of those guys.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Another version of Brutal Doom Arsenal was released today. It's a considerable improvement over the original--but still an alpha. I think the overall quality of the firearms has been improved, although there are a few turds in the bunch (like the double-barreled shotgun, which has sits perfectly still when fired). Also, even though each slot has 3 or 4 weapons available for it, you can only carry 1 weapon per slot at any given time. I don't particularly mind that, but I'm sure a lot of people will have issues with it. What am I supposed to use it with? It errors out on the latest gzDoom SVN and Zandronum.

Guillermus posted:There is still some disortion. Back in the days I just shrugged and kept playing but today is a thing that annoys me. Eduke32 is a good source port but I hate that they put so much effort on polymer and they never tried to make multiplayer actually work. Yeah I've never managed to get a decent multiplayer game going with any of the source ports - even on a LAN, they'd always lag and desync like crazy and were far worse than just running the game in DOSBox and turning on its IPX mode.

Cream_Filling posted:I hate to be one of those PC game supremacy types of people, but thinking about it again, the slowing of shooter games could definitely also be attributed to the rise of the controller and consoles over mouse and keyboard. You shouldn't have to excuse yourself, it's pretty non-controversial that gamepads force lots of restrictions on what you can do in an FPS game (verticality, for one).

Jblade posted:What kind of issues are people talking about when they say they need bmouse.exe? Is it more of a general feel of the mouse control? I didn't have any issues with the free SW released on Steam, or Blood - I have played Build games forever and ever though. They're talking about the hosed-up vertical mouse movement, but it's not like Build games played any better back when they came out. Anyway, source ports like I assume this version of Shadow Warrior is using don't suffer from that problem.

Fag Boy Jim posted:Brutal Doom has been afforded a weird "legitimacy" that stuff like, say, Project MSX, or, if you want to get really old-school, Batman Doom, have not. I've seen it here, and at other gaming forums- this isn't being advertised so much as a gameplay mod, but something that "makes Doom Doomier", implying that it's true to Doom's gameplay, which is only true superficially. Part of my problem with the complaints about Brutal Doom is that they often seem to be a case of someone not liking a thing that lots of people like and feeling like they know better. It's not the mod they have a problem with, because they can just not use it. It's the community that gets turned into the "problem" and that's kind of weird.
