DOOM

Apparently Romero dropped an "unofficial" episode 6 for Sigil 2 to commemorate it. I wasn't even aware until I happened to see one of decino's videos pop up in my feed this morning. I'd post the vid but embeds are fucked for me right now.
Can't wait to watch Civvie to die to Romero's traps and monster closets again.
 
I need Doom mod recommendations but with ONE stipulation: you have to get all or vast majority of weapons (up until the Plasma Rifle at a minimum) at the very first level and not by accessing secret areas or finding a secret level or any of that shit. I want a mod that kicks my ass from moment 1 instead of the usual progression of pistol, find shotgun, get secret with ammo pack, find another secret with chainsaw/super shotty, etcetera and etcetera.

This can include slaughter maps too.

There is very little stopping you from making just such a map yourself.

Type idfa when in a level. idkfa if you feel so inclined.
 
Don't be so offended.

Also, yeah, just build your own car.
What do you expect from him? He's an easily pissed off spastic
I will build my own car! I will murder your family and utilize their body parts to build a deranged skitzo meatwagon that runs like the Flintstones car!
Your feet stank and you'll lose exhaustion from running bare feet in your Flintstones car

So it seems like John Romero and John Caramack are going to be getting together on Twitch. It'll be an open chat about Doom ofc and they'll be answering questions.
It'll be happening around December 10th at 8pm.

For those who missed it, it's up as a video.


As I guessed, it's like 70% Carmack 30% Romero. If this host was any more of a stump, you'd need to water him. Romero seemed to be there just to guide questions to Carmack, who goes on to do his usual thing of articulating on everything and talking shop. Not a bad interview, most of the questions were actually relevant.

The closing segment was pretty heartwarming. You can tell the two enjoyed their conversation and you can hear Carmack's voice break a little when he spoke about burying the hatchet over corporate shit. As robotic as his demeanor usually is, it's nice to see some humanity leak through every once in a while. Romero and Carmack definitely have a brotherhood.

At least you're still building your own car. Best of luck to you.
Then you won't mind when I park the car -still wet with the blood with your family that I slaughtered BY HAND- in front of your home as I have sex with a bunch of cheap women and/or hookers inside the car and rail them upon the dissected bodies of your nana and popop.

Sure? Whatever floats your boat. It's your car that you made yourself.

Wait, one caveat: As long as you don't pull up on the driveway, because then I'd have to call the cops.
 
Am I the only one who is like this? Who loved 2016 but was disappointed by Eternal?
Literally just ask anyone on /v/ and you will get mix feelings about the game.
People either love or hate the puzzle like combat. But even the people who like the combat hate how Doomguy has turned from an average space marine to this god killer who makes demons piss and shit themselves.
>This is literal capshit now
This is the usual response you will get. But to me, the new Doom games feel more like they're trying way too hard to ape 40k. I miss the murderous psychopath that was originally depicted in the comic.

Pretty much my thoughts.
I preferred the whole "random soldier at the wrong place, wrong time, fighting demons to get back home, and stop humanity being ass-raped by demons".
The poor bastard keeps getting pulled into Hell's shenanigans (D1, D2, TNT, Plut, 64), even if he wants nothing to do with it, to the point where he loses his mind and decides to stay in Hell for all eternity.

Better than the power-fantasy "godslaying demon killer, haha im not trapped here with u, ur trapped here with me!!!!!!!!" IMO.
 
I like it
I don't mind it but they really need to stop overexplaining shit. Sure, Doomguy is an angry dude who kills demons efficiently enough that even the demons fear him. Cool. I don't need to know all about how he served as one of the Knights Templar in space as their warrior-king until they were betrayed by the angels, who by the way are working with demons and are corrupting the former knights templar in space, which is why an angry dude with a lightsaber axe shows up and goes on a diatribe about how doomguy is a usurper. Just let the angry axe man show up and deliver the cool sounding line then leave it at that.
Id can write some legitimately good dialogue when they don't write too much of it (that science lady's journal was okay for the first few entries but the tail end was pure distilled cringe) and don't try to explain the meaning behind it.
 
Speaking of WAD music, I figured I'd share my favorite PWAD soundtrack. Back To Saturn X has a really nice soundtrack, levels are nice too. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it.

It's also included in the Bethesda re-release as an add-on, if you're a console guy.
