Power fantasies are just... copium
the possesed scientist sloppy
What does this mean
baron of hell ripping slayer's lower body
the revenant just removing his arms
hell knight stomping on the face
i love it
ig they removed it cuz it doesnt line up with "le epic god is epic" lore they're going for
"but doomguy thanos snap universes"
I just don't get the appeal of power fantasies other than out of insecurity
C’mon dude
same.
if the slayer was invincible like that why would hell bother fight it even
It isn’t complex. People like to kill things while feeling unstoppable. Action games feed into some kind of fantasy one way or another.
i mean i like being powerful out of skill and earning it but having to write it into lore how invincible and badass a character is is like, shit i did when i was 12 making halo ocs
ig i just dont like OP characters unless they pull off ridiculously entertaining OP stuff
like metal gear rising lmao
Not necessarily. Take roguelite and soulslike games for example.
Doesn’t really matter, since that power fantasy is earned through skill and experience with the game mechanics.
ultra nightmare
It's not a fantasy then, it's you doing all the work to be powerful
Don’t know why you’d care if Doomguy is canonically unstoppable since the narrative is one of the lowest priorities in these games
It was, until DE
lol
"we're building a doom universe" actually made me wince
You don’t understand how that works.
lore nerds scrolling through each line of dialoge to see how butt ass naked slayer killed the power ranger enemy
let us fight the power ranger enemy.. why you gotta tell me all this shit id rather be doing isntead of hearing? I need naked doomguy please...
A power fantasy is just making you feel stronger than you actually are. This doesn’t mean it’s necessarily handed to you.
2016 was the closest we'll ever get to naked guy
Simple stuff
It's the handed to you power fantasy that I am talking about tho
And it’s silly to consider the story a focus now just because there’s cutscenes (skippable) and codex’s nerds can read up on (optional).
soo badass sooo crazyyyyy holy shit he could defeat satan with a spoon!!! and then in gameplay you just get bodied by an imp
thats why odst was a cool concept for me. I feel like doom really needs some sorta. Elite Guard or UAC guard spinoff where you're just a cool naturally powerful dude. no magic testicles or something
There’s definitely some ludo-narrative dissonance there, but I think the ultimate goal of modern Doom is to build you up until you feel like the Doomslayer through sheer skill and game knowledge. It’s rewarding asf to dominate demons that were giving you a hard time when you first started the game.
There's still in-game sections that force you to listen to lore like the guided tour through Nekravol narrated by Samuel Hayden
pretty sure theres some unskippable story bits
Pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Your enjoyment doesn’t hinge on your understanding of why everything is happening.
but 2016 had that issue aswell. at least you can skip it with a speedrun trick I think lmao
But also skippable cutscenes are standard, even for story-focused games
Feel like it’s becoming less common as of late lol
unskippable sequences with no player input is literally so dull. kills alot of replayabilty for some games
finally got into a 2016 FFA match
Point being that DE isn’t a cinematic story driven game that breaks up combat with long mandatory walking sections full of exposition. Not to say that’s completely nonexistent in either games, just on the back burner.
never seen such an underrated MP mode for a game
Just finished the cyberdemon boss feeling epic
awesome
the boss fights in this game are awesome
Too bad there’s only 3
Hi
there should have been more imo
fr, the hell guardians are tons of fun imo
Nahh only if they added the mother demon as a secret boss
hell guards are my favorite cuz they remind me of hunters from halo where theyre all big and bad but then under their armor its just worm
I love that . Worm in a suit thing
Hahahahaha true .. probably the love started with me and ninja turtles
Only real ogs know
lmao
Hell Guard design is kind of lame but I like the boss fight
the arena is wallpaper material
worm :(
hey guys, are there some people still playing multiplayer in doom 2016 ? I would like to try it out and get all the achievments on steam, but i couldnt find single match.
oh nice, i will just try my luck then, thanks
ok
im so surprised servers are still alive
ima download this again
Just cuz i enjoyed the multiplayer way too much
Servers are alive yes?
I would love to play again tomorrow. I just want to unlock the templat chest plate lol
nope,unfortunately not
i do a match and hardly any people join
yeah it was a real bummer,thats why i joined this server
we could do a few matches if you’d like
Well we could but idk how fun its gonna be compared to a full lobby
they're technically alive in that they haven't been shut down, but yeah, not very active
ight dm me once u wanna
does anyone play the multiplayer
a surprising amount of people actually do its just no one gets on at the same time
I still find full lobbies on the Switch version of all things fairly often surprisingly
nice
Boss fight is really fun
TIL that certain parts of Hell have mutilated baron corpses mounted on the wall, just like in the original game. I’ve always wondered what those barons did to be killed that way
hey im tryna get all the achievments is playing with bots valid and if not how do i find online games ????:)))
Cacodemons in this game always get gibbed when they die for some reason
it’s really odd, at least Eternal made them die normally
it doesn’t matter what weapon kills them, even just the pistol makes them break into a million pieces
I have a problem, i loaded the save files i made on PS4 on a PS5 and all the missions are there completed but all my weapons are gone, same for my upgrades and runes
They got too silly
there giant bloody balloons
One of the things I disliked about battlemode also
I heard somewhere that the 2016 versions of demons from Eternal still exist in that game
so, that means Cyclops Mancubus is still present in the time Eternal takes place
yeah
sad day today
PS plus membership ran out so i can no longer play DOOM 2016
atleast i got platinum on it
I got the soundtrack for DOOM 2016 on vinyl for my birthday today!
Yeah all the demons from Doom 1-2016 exist in Eternals Hell
They’re from different tribes and sub-species
So Doom 2’s Hell Knights, Doom 64’s mutated demons, and Doom 3’s new demon designs are all canon
There is the question of whether they have stuck around in-universe. The cyberdemon in 2016 is the last of his kind IIRC. The original Hell knights are seemingly also extinct
Yeah some have gone extinct, usually because of either the doomslayer or because they were part of a failed rebellion
But I doubt all the demons that haven’t returned are officially extinct. Prob just inhabiting some other part of hell.
Wise words
wood
True
So are Hell Razers a form of Possessed or something else? It's mentioned that they are parasites.
Something like that
Ya just parasites that take over the body I'd guess a worm much like hell guards
No
It's basically a wave of argent energy
I thought they were the final stage of a possessed soldier
Nope parasite infection
Probably a whole different kind of demon
Can anyone help me with the online trophies?
2016
2016
Idk, I struggle with those trophies too
Parasite that latches onto a possessed soldier?
I'm pretty sure in but it isn't specifically said
I assumed they were like the Unwilling, what remains of an ancient conquered race long Possessed and warped by hell
I always thought they were Unwilling versions of Possessed Soldiers
Nope
The special parasite thing reminds me of the Last of Us clickers. Mind you, I’ve never actually played TLOU, I just know about that from pop culture osmosis
Separately, where are the hellrazer eyes?
People viewed them as modern Chaingun Bobs/Commandos but I saw them as their own unique enemy archetype.
I wish the TAG chaingunners had built off the idea for its attack
I can play with you if you want
Aren't Unwillings just people that died and got sent to Hell?
unpopular opinion: Argent Energy Tower is the best level in the game
Popular opinion: doom guy is just jesus with a shotgun.
reminds me of that one song called "angel with the shotgun"
unpopular opinion: doom
Best level?
yes cheesus
to me, it's Kadingir Sanctum
it has some of my favourite fights in the game
I don't think a fan wiki is always trustworthy
all the hell levels are epic
especially necropolis
yep, it has many references from old doom games
the first Hell Guard is the og Marauder
yes
The wall-mounted dead baron
Mancubus Pedestals
And ofc the Icon of Sin
and then the Tyrant is essentially a mook version of the Cyberdemon
yes
all 2016 bosses are fun
true
the Spiderdemon turned from a joke of a hitscanner that can be easily killed into an actual challenging boss with a variety of attacks
oh yea the mastermind has so many attacks
dash
laser scan
death beam
the exploding grenade thingies
The red bullets
one thing I noticed with id games is that most boss fights are in the last parts of the campaign
2016 has 13 levels and I think the first boss fight is like in the 9th
ye
I don't consider the Doom Hunter to be really a boss in its first appearance
The only real bosses in that game are gladiator khan maykr and sin
yeah
and the Gladiator appears in the 8th level
Doom 3 was also very lacking in terms of boss fights too, the only boss that isn't in the last half of the campaign is the Vagary
I dont even remember what boss fights are in doom 3
i only remember the cyberdemon
Vagary, Guardian Of Hell, Sabaoth and Cyberdemon
the 3 Hell Hunters and Maledict
I swear, I never killed any fps game boss as quickly as Sabaoth
fire 5 rockets at him as he appears then use the soul cube on him, and he goes to hell in less than 10 seconds
lol
Through the cube out the door and shoot rockets. That's the fastest method
”Excellent! Smash the heretic!”
does anyone know a server where i can get a 2016 lobby in multiplayer
unfortunately no
you gotta wait for players to join the lobby
there are a handful of people who play the game but very few are online at the same time
Doom has a pretty poor track record with bosses in general
But Doom 1 and Doom 2016’s Cyberdemon boss fights go hard
The cyberdemon works because it’s basically just “shoot it until you kill it” done in the best way possible
doom1's e2m8 is cool(and a great way to practice 2 tap bfgs with cheats) but a terrible boss fight. Maybe back in the day when people were still adjusting to moving while firing, but not anymore. The cyber is a great monster, but plopping one down just isn't enough for a boss. 2016's works well though
Not arguing it’s incredible but far from terrible either lmao
It’s the first boss that really punishes you for not strafing, and considering that your arsenal up to that point is pretty limited (no BFG) the player has to engage with the mechanics of the fight.
It’s simple but enjoyable. Vastly better than the spider demon boss fight in episode 3.
Hey y'all! I'm new to this server. Just started playing Doom 2016 a week or two ago. I just wanted to share that I finally beat the Cyberdemon after multiple attempts. 😁😁
I would like to add that this game does great justice to the original. I love all the collectibles and classic maps. The reference to Doom 3 with the Turkey Arcade game was hilarious. And I loved Doom's version of Candy Crush.
I'm excited to fight the Spider looking demon brain (I don't remember it's name.)
Spider mastermind
Guys I'm gonna finish Doom:2016 in Nightmare mode
Good 
Atta boy
beware of imps my man⚠️
Nightmare mode is whole lotta fun
Beware of holes young slayers
So basically the deadliest things in this game are imps and parkour?
Imps and jank
I’m currently stuck at the big tram fight in Vega Complex and half the failed attempts are game crashes
The Imp fireball in DOOM 2016 Nightmare probably deals the same damage amount as the classic Cyberdemon rocket.
Mission 11?
my god why is classic doom so RNG?
cybderdemon rocket (classic): 20-160 (direct hit)
imp fireball 2016: 90
sooo its about an average
so yeah pretty much
remember rockets have additional splash damage. Usually about 126ish extra if a direct
That would be the spider mastermind but good luck!
Thank you!
Classic Doom cyberdemon rockets on direct hit are pretty lethal because of the high nonrandom splash damage
As you burn to death to the imp fireball for the 30th time
Imps hit only a bit harder than other demons so IDK why they get hyped up so much. I find cyber mancubi and pinkies way more troublesome myself
For it's because they're a silent killer, often getting sniped without warning
Pinkies for their armor and speed, cybers because their mess can still kill fast on nightmare and they don’t even have to hit you
Pinkies and Hell Knights are my least favorites. Fucking annoying demons.
UN 2016 completed.
Love to read that progress first thing in the morning. Well done
How are you playing? Doom punishes a lot of modern shooter habits
Also what difficulty?
The most important rule in Doom is to never stop moving. Bodyshots will be good enough 99% of the time.
Also your best defense is usually a strong offense, so don’t be afraid to push at the enemies and take some risk to draw blood
do them glory kills
Also that
F?
oh man true theyre the worst enemies
imps really like to snipe you
best thing is to move circles around the arena
Imps, like most Doom demons, are really bad at leading shots so try to move as much as possible as you fight
at higher difficulties they can track where you're going and shoot
New game just called doom
Ah
It was launched as a soft reboot
Would u say this has a long campaign
About average fps length for first time players depending on collection and secrets I'd say 8 to 10 hours
Not that long
There were dlc planned but that was abandoned
There is a level editor that enables campaign creation so I’m guessing there’s plenty of stuff there
Niceee
How hard is this game on Hurt me plenty
So-so. I’d recommend it for new players
Ultraviolence is a bit harder. Nightmare is honestly kind of ridiculous with death coming in 2 hits pretty often. Ultra Nightmare is that plus you lose your save file on death.
iirc nightmare mode was added as a joke in the og doom
Yup
pretty much
a few levels are in heck
hell?
yes
Yess,cant wait to fight Satan
Doom 1 nightmare was basically designed to troll people who felt UV wasn’t hard enough (vanilla Doom 1 is pretty easy, even on UV)
Enemies in classic Doom nightmare are more aggressive and respawn after 30 seconds
Shame u cant be stealthy
I think it'd be much harder to play doom 1 on ultra nightmare
oh no no, doom doesn't teach you that
Its gun blazin all the time
I think Doom 1 UN would be humanly impossible
Doom has always been very much about running and gunning, so modern Doom has zeroed in on making that fast aggressive combat as good as possible
Wolfenstein is better for that. Doom shouldn’t be a stealth game ever
Yeah
even doom 3 doesn't really rely on being stealthy
ye
doomguy?
Yeah
You could theoretically make a stealth section in classic Doom. You really shouldn’t but you could
he is a monster killing machine wdym
but yea he is in suffering
I feel bad more for the demons. No one can help them
true lel
eternal
Doom Eternal is largely on Earth
No way
Is there a meaning behind Eternal
Your character has been fighting demons for thousands of years with no sign of stopping. His crusade is eternal
the Slayer's fight with hell for eternity
How in the hell is he stilla alive
Is he even human lol
he is human but also uhhhh its complicated
He doesn’t age anymore. He used to be human but only partly now because Eternal lore stuff
O
guy doesn't even need food or water
Main things are he doesn’t grow old, doesn’t get tired, and he gains strength from those who fall before him
Game logic
No the glory kill thing is actually part of the lore
something something feeds off of demon blood something
New doom games seems to deviate from og gamds a lot
Yeah
Idk why
I think it was taking the stuff people fondly remember about the old games and tripling down on it
Classic Doom makes you feel incredibly powerful, so they took that a few steps further
Maybe they didnt wanna do it to easy
Doom definitely tries to push players to master the mechanics. The furthest classic Doom goes with that in terms of official releases was the Plutonia Experiment in Final Doom, but many mods go kind of crazy with giving players massive armies to kill
any tips to deal with that big core room
What level?
Its the beginning
The first gore nest?
there is a shed on the left side of the room take cover there and wait for imps to get to you and shoot
honestly it's the hardest encounter in the first level
Yes
Cause theres so many of them and i alwqys die to some mf up at platform
yea
if you dont want to take cover just move around shooting them
and dont glory kill because you may get hit after the glory kill animation ends
Glory kills are kinda risky in this Doom specifically
Yea
Clips threw floor
Glory kill is fine if you know how to keep your eyes on the environment and timing. Still would avoid though in nightmare
Primevil
I know most of you like this franchise cause of the gameplay but me personally,I play it for the demons and that whole aspect of Hell and Heaven
whatever makes you happy
rip and tear
well i hope heaven exists lol
HELL no
I don't think that's a debate for this server.
in the game lol
ehh....kind of? it's complicated. Eternal explains it.
It does but it’s not what you think
Doom’s universe isn’t really biblical
It’s like reverse Gnosticism with a good dose of Sci-Fi
ah
Hell in these games is pretty neat though
Doom 64 and Doom 3 have my favorite canon depictions of it
Doom 3 has some of the best looking Hell levels I've ever seen. I just wish those sections weren't so short.
Yeah it looks incredible, and I love that the hell demons have different skins
Feel like 2016 made hell a little too alien. Like they’re going with the alien dimension angle instead of a spiritual realm of eternal torment. Although the bowls of the titan were pretty cool.
I liked 2016's Hell levels but they didn't look too much different from Mars
Agreed
There was some effort because there’s some organic masses and hellish structures but it didn’t do enough to set itself apart from Mars visually
Besides not having those UAC interiors
right
guys im a bit stuck
why does my game feel laggy
turn down your settings?
What are you playing on?
CPU : Ryzen 5 5600G 4.2Ghz
GPU : RX 6500 XT 4GB
RAM : 16GB
maybe it just feels slow to me,like the mouse sens idk
i got pinged
Sorry, Bot removed my message because it had a link
Still don’t get why this server is so stingy about links
It’s very frustrating but I understand the precaution.
Just implement a leveling system so people need to be here for a little while to get perms
wait u cant get embeds at all?
fr
Doom 2016 blue skull key https://imgur.com/gallery/4vkMU1p
Imagine if the cyberdemon returned in the last 2 missions as a normal enemy. Like just the first phase, probably with half the HP. That would be kind of awesome
I do get why they didn’t go that route though
Would’ve taken away from the bossfight imo
Having weaker baalgar demons would’ve been neat though
lmao the panning
Thanks I'm a film maker
I want one
The dude who made the molds for this was Russian so his whole page was taken down on etsy unfortunately. I wanted red and yellow still
😭 NNOOOO
Right!!!!
ill just 3d print the model itself
and paint it
really goes to show how cool bitmapping is for textures
fake depth
I completely get why Doom 2016 doesn’t have bosses return as normal foes, but I am sad that they didn’t do include them in Snapmap either. Visceral appeal aside, there aren’t many big demon types in 2016 and nerfed versions of bosses could have helped a lot there
Would be a sick ass night light
Flashes too if you want it too
I don’t get why the cyber demon wasn’t added since there’s one in a secret level that’s already tweaked to have only its first stage
So it would definitely work fine
The spider mastermind boss isn’t really that complex either. Just remove a few attack patterns and it’ll be fine on any map with enough space
That seems right
Idk about the hell guardians though
Finally beat Vega Central Processing. I hate that final arena
bfg
The BFG kept crashing the game in that arena
How
Sometimes when I do the BFG trick, the game just goes to an error screen and boots me to the PS4 home menu
I’m guessing it’s a platform specific bug
It’s just in that arena though
they designed it around modules. most of them being too tall for cybercuck so they scrapped it. They tried shrinking him down apprently but ultimately decided to scrap it. Huge misstep imo. But thats what modding is for.
same case for mastermind
too big
That’s interesting.
Idk y my game feels so slow
so i managed to get practice mode working offline with xp
will be posting instructions in #d2016-modding
im assuming you could grind achivments that way yeah?
It's to late for his soul
doom 2016 gon feel like dark souls
i only discovered the franchise in december so i am quite new
that is mighty impressive
How do I get the 2 multiplayer trophies? They are my last ones.
Also a great lamp
Find a party 
how do i find more secrets lol
You should be able to find most of the secrets by just poking around a lot.
Find a dead end? Check for secrets
Something look at all suspicious? Check for secrets
And so forth
Be sure to use your map
I mean, the Barons of Hell in classic DOOM were introduced as bosses, as well as the Cyberdemon itself.
there should be an achievement just for that LMAO
"achievement unlocked: you found 1 player in a public lobby"
I’d describe the barons as mini bosses really
The cyberdemon sure but I think having one badass fight culminating in the demons death is cooler than overusing that same enemy multiple times
Cloning and genetic research is most likely a thing in this universe. So they could very likely clone and remake balgaars
The one you're facing in 2016 is ancient so huge.. augmented
A clone full version as a common enemy would be very neat
I mean that's the arachs in eternal
They are just genetic clones of the mastermind
Altered
hello
I got a chainsaw!!!
cool
the game is hella hard yeah
but very very fun
hey everyone I have been playing doom since I was a kid
Almost done with my first Nightmare playthrough
I eventually relented on my “no optional Argent upgrades” but I have kept my other rules.
Spider easy
I killed her before she create electrity totems with spikes

of course
solid game with a great level editor and decent multiplayer what more can ya ask for 6 bucks?
I just noticed that the Pinky in this game has some of the same sounds as the Zombie from Half-Life 2
shoot maybe
is multiplayer alive
not thriving or really alive but its possible to still catch matches
on the weekend and stuff
its best to just ask some peeps to play with you. its casual fun
has epic multiplayer maps
how bad is VFR really?
all the settings in this game seem the same
I’ve been playing Doom 2016 on Ultra violence and it’s been a relatively easy experience
I have died a few times but other than that I have been enjoying it
it has very fun progression
played it like i played eternal in the 1st couple arenas ant got hit like 3 times
transition from de to 2016 be like
lmao
imagine people trying to destroy the Mancubus arm cannons
or trying to make the Possessed Security's shield explode with the plasma gun
Plasma Rifle is still effective for shields tho, the splash penetrates and damages the Possessed Security behind it
Yeah but early game I found it easier to just chuck a frag or a explosive shot right next to them then use the Plasma Rifle
Or if I have the fuel, chainsaw
Sure, all I'm saying is you wouldn't be punished from using plasma
imagine even playing Eternal then going straight back to 3.
oh man
heat blast for that reason is actually a great mod
If you have jank muscle memory issues then that would be funny to see
What's the most runes and weapons you've mastered in a single run without going back and redoing levels or doing any farming/glitches
If I had to guess
Savagery seek and destroy flight mobility
for the weapon mods ive mastered pretty much all except the pistol and precision bolt in a single run
i dont really use runes much now they kinda make it too easy
Hey there, Is there anyone who could/want help me boost online for the cyberdemon & robotic armor achievements?
Nice
i literally cannot go without In-flight and savagery tbh. they should almost be inherent.
glory kills get boring so speeding them up is essential and air mobility is like. a basic thing you should have tbh
yeah thats just straight up a lie. especially with the instakill death pits
it feels so much better.
stopping dead in your tracks by double jumping feels like shit
being dedicated a jump direction can fuck you. It's literally impossible to mid air dodge at that point
This game is so addictive i love it
I’m completely serious: I hate air mobility. It makes things easier but it also feels like you weight nothing which also makes movement feel slower despite not actually being slower
99% of the platforming is easy regardless if you’re being reasonably careful
yeah bad take.
just play without it if you want but it feels wrong to me
it should be defualt imo
taking up a whole rune slot just to control jump direction mid air is dumb
platforming sucks the faster i get it done the better
unless doom gets dying light movement platforming will always be a snooze fest
I go a step further and don’t use runes anyway. Feels way too RPG of a mechanic to me
lmao
yeah i dont upgrade my guns either. im fact i dont even jump. Since doomguys armor is heavy he wouldn't be able to jump that high. and honestly i dont even shoot aswell. shooting perpetuates violence so i just try and be a pacifist
It and weapon mastery make the game less interesting for me so I just don’t use them. Basically I hate RPG mechanics in action games in general. If I couldn’t just ignore those mechanics I wouldn’t play the game at all
One of the things I love about the original Doom is that progression is pretty much entirely geared around getting better as a player instead of upgrade BS
Weirdly Doom 2016 almost feels like it was designed to be played without said upgrade systems with the way fights are balanced
Without upgrade systems, any game is stale and boring to me
Ya it's just a staple at this point
I get why it’s common but I consider it one of the worst trends in modern gaming
Not as bad as lootboxes and predatory monetization but very very frustrating nonetheless
True doom god
Upgrading adding things to your weapon is satisfying. And something to work towards. Which is why it's used so often. Love upgrading my tac scope as soon as I can
My frustration basically comes from it obfuscating difficulty and time investment and how it exploits human psychology to get people to play games longer through skinner box design.
I wouldn't call it exploitative to add features that extend the time a game stays entertaining.
It’s not egregious in Doom, but it’s the thing that keeps people playing MMOs and the like long after it’s fun because they feel like they physically can’t stop. The way it’s used in Doom isn’t predatory but it can get predatory quickly
It's not the upgrade systems that make MMOs that way. It's limited time content
the fear of missing out
on exclusive rewards
that's the real exploitative systems
In Doom I just don’t like how it messes with difficulty and with replaying early levels.
There’s more than one thing going on in MMOs and such
sure, but it's a huge one, at least for me
other things include clans where it creates social pressure to contribute and not abandon the group by no longer playing the game
basically, features that 99% of mobile games nowadays have in common
technically, obtaining new weapons is a form of upgrading
I guess, but it’s more about getting new tools than changing the baseline. Also people do pistol start play in classic Doom for a reason
tools that dramatically increases your damage output
Yeah but they’re not strict upgrades from one another (except the pistol) they’re sidegrades that have different strengths and weaknesses.
I'd argue it's more diagonal than sidegrades
In classic Doom, you kind of need to use every weapon. The basic shotgun doesn’t hit as hard but it doesn’t gobble up shells like the SSG and that matters in classic Doom
I'm not really talking about Classic Doom as I've barely played them
I started with Doom 1 and basically I want modern Doom to retain as much of the early Doom feeling as it can
Doom 1 is still my favorite Doom
I tried playing them but I found them too boring to play

That makes me very sad but I kind of get it I guess
no thanks
random damage spread is not for me
and i like looking up
same
quake is actually good though
Classic Doom does a lot with a little in terms of complexity. Doom 1 has 8 normal enemy types, no secondary firing, etc but it has a huge possibility space anyway. In a lot of ways more possibilities than modern Doom.
Majority of people love classic doom so 2 people not liking it is fine. Some people like things some people don't. Tis life
i dont really care about the majority i just have my own opinions. classic jsut dont really hold up tbh. Modding is almost essential to get anything of it from our spoiled perspective of being in the future
Hard disagree
I'm also guessing these 2 mean base games and not wads and such
duh
even then the artstyle doesnt really appeal to me.
sprites just dont do it for me
Ya if they had any idea about the wads out there... some need fucking super computers at this point. Real amazing stuff out there
Nah just beautiful in general
the most impressive ones ive seen were doom kart and that sonic one
sonic robo blast
but 99% of wads, just like snapmap are just more of the same
Love the colors in that map
doom but blue
Amd the midi is just great
First time I tried to play lullaby the potato top actually froze lol
ong
Cringe
Classic Doom for me is a lot like SNES Mario. It has some weird jank and you can see the technical limitations in a lot of places but the strong core mechanics, unique look, and just right amount of arcadeyness makes it work even now.
Absolutely.
snes mario is actually fun tho at least when im high.
Wow so cool
I was going to see that but I heard mixed things
Classic doom for me is like Pong. Revolutionary for its time, but I'd go so far to say that it's technologically impossible to make a good game by today's standards back then
its just mid. watch it if a younger sibling wants too or something but you absolutely can skip it
I'll probably just wait until its on prime or some shit
i agree
I started playing Doom 1 in 2019 or so and it became one of my favorite games anyway.
In no way am i saying classic doom is bad. it just doesnt hold up. And doom fans just cant see that those are 2 different things. Everything is relative to when it came out. Since video games of all things are held back by technological advances.
I’m also one of the people who hates most AAA games from the last 10 years though so I’m not exactly a typical consumer
minus the random damage spread that can go to hell
DND fans when they make a video game
It's a really bad opinion. There's a reason why the classic doom community is still thriving and the fact you have never played a wad in your life especially a modern one on a port like gz ect kind of makes your opinion invalid
dnd fans 😴
GZdoom isnt Classic doom tho
I feel so old in this conversation even though I’m pretty sure I’m the youngest person here.
How so?
What does wads even have to do with this anyway?
You just want my opinion invalid cause we dont agree but thats rather simple minded. We're talking about base game here.
Wads don’t usually change mechanics, just levels. It’s a lot like ROMhacks for Super Mario World
You're saying classic doom doesn't hold up even though it's constantly evolving and has been growing visually gameplay mods ect
thats why most are lame imo
Bad take
its just a different map.
There's some that do I think brutal doom is trash though
if it held up, it wouldn't need to keep evolving
That makes no sense
that is the single dumbest thing anybody has ever said
People make wads and maps for fun. It's unique to try new mods but not necessarily needed.
I honestly don’t even use gameplay mods. I think the vanilla stuff holds up more than well enough
Ok so connect the dots.. I dislike classic doom. 99% of wads are just classsic doom but a different map. therefore i still dont like it. How hard is that to understand?
You should try embers of armageddon though some day. Classic doom meets doom 2016. It's a lot of fun
Oh I understand and it's okay not to like something.
You don’t have to like it, but that doesn’t make it bad or even that it’s aged poorly. It just isn’t your thing
Ya 2 people out of everyone else in the world are good odds haha
In my opinion it has aged poorly. And based off mechanics alone I wouldnt even like it if it was modern. Randomness like that is disgusting.
Imagine ending your run cuz the rocket did 160 instead of 20? Like broooo
The randomness barely comes up though in practice
Rng can be a bi tch that's true
It’s dumb but it doesn’t hurt the game overall much
if you play on baby easy mode then probably
I play on UV
Noice
Then you don't understand the argument to begin with. The reason we are saying "base game" is because including stuff made nowadays that modernize classic doom doesn't count as what makes the classic game hold up. That's like saying the graphics of an old game holds up because someone made a mod that adds HD textures
Thats not what a wad is or does
Teleshow made the point that despite new maps he just doesn't like the mechanics and that's fine
The wads that impress me are ones that actually shake up thr gameplay. Same towards snapmaps. I really am not a fan of snapmaps that just do the same thing ive been doing for 6 damn near 7 years now
You'd probably like embers of armageddon
I've got a video on it actually
Damage values hit the middle the vast majority of the time. The rocket example is especially nonsensical as most of the damage comes from the explosion, which isn’t random. You weren’t surviving a direct hit regardless. The only RNG that regularly makes a difference is pain chance, which is a pretty clever way to make stun work that I actively prefer over what modern Doom does
rng sucks
-DOOM THE WAY ID DID: Shores of Hell Map 2(Filtration Compound) combat montage using the Embers of Armageddon mod played on the Nightmare difficulty.
-All controller gameplay.
well if you're just talking about new maps only, then idk how that would change a thing. More maps doesn't help a game hold up more.
yeah idk. i still cant get over the sprites. Like thatd be so hard to track what an enemey is doing like imagine trying to have a parry system but you only have like. 1 frame idk man. Just not my style. Exaclty why im here for 2016. I grew up with 2016 annnnd 2016 is just the best for me. I dont think i could go back.
Honestly thats fair. Some things just don't click for some people
The fact people keep making new content for classic Doom on the scale they do indicates people still love the game for what it is
more like since it can run on a potato its easy to start with lol
Bridge one of the admins here is one of these map makers. Absolute genius. Although his maps are fucking spicy haha
modding idtech 6 is much more complicated than a 20+ yo game lol
yeah, it's as bizarre to me as how people can play the same campaign over and over
same reason why minecraft has a massive modding community. easy to start with and run
Ya classic you just need to get doombuilder and there we go. But some are far far more talented then others and the stuff they create is wild
Skillsaw for example
except minecraft mods are usually fire. they love shaking up the gameplay
Doom 1-2 are still the only titles where you get madness like Alien Vendetta or Sunlust. Both of those wads have maps where cacodemons literally blot out most of the skybox.
Sunlust is great. Going through ancient aliens right now
Want to try it on uv plus co op
co-op makes anything fun
My buddy might give it a go @wraith tangle soon
Anyways working on a tac scope montage video right now. It needs more love haha
Still one of my favorite weapons in any game ever
Headshots are so satisfying
Absolutely agree there
The scope is very doable in close quarters too. I have a back to back 10 second hellknight kills like 4 of them
chunky rifle
Chonk
the weapon variety in this game is great
i agree with savagery, but in place of in flight mobility you can have a better rune which is armored offensive
fast glory kill + armor refill
it kinda makes it feel like de
my usual rune loadout is basically the same except with Ammo Boost instead of AO
when you're quickswitching like a madman you tend to run out of ammo pretty quickly
anyone up for multiplayer on switch?
?
nothing its just a bad port
i mean. it kinda objectively is? 30 fps and missing snapmap.
ur missing 1/3 of the game
but that 2/3 is really well ported
its sad tho that the multiplayer died when i wanna do the multiplayer
again 30fps
just get a steam deck and get the whole game
missing 1/3 is not a good port
;m;
so i wasted my money
time
sorry
i have a bad case of not likeing the buyers remorse feeling
SHUT!
UUUGH! IT SO DAMN HARD LIKING THE SWITCH WHEN IT GETS SLANDERED EVERY OTHER DAY!
LIKE, CAN I JUST ENJOY MY PORTABLE PREFERENCE?!
switch
UUUUUUUGH!!!
same
i wanna work on snapmap on the go
prodeus sucks
boomer shooter wannabe. it's just mid af. Snapmap is much cooler
BACK
i havent seen anything impressive from prodeus
who is prodeus
I AM NOT IN THE BEST FUCKING MOOD RN
meanwhile we're making space flight sims in snapmap
ITS LIKE THE BEST ARENA SHOOTER
idk mid boomer shooter game with a level editor
oh
i played it for like 1 min on gamepass and just couldnt look at the low fps animations longer than a second
havent played any boomer shooter other than ultrakill
BOO YOU DONT LIKE ASTECTIC CHOISES
yes its too fun
bro are you 12, chill tf out. It's a wannabe boomer shooter. they made it shitty on purpose. and i dont like it. The level editor is simplistic its basically just a map maker. No custom enemies or gameplay, kinda lame.
ultrakill is how you do wannabe boomer shooters right
lame opinion + its supposed to look retro + blocked so my day doesnt get anymore worse + game journalist
lmao game journalist is an insult now
lol
dusk too
ofc its supposed to look retro. Ultrakill is aswell but thats not the issue. Its just not an appealing artstyle
i havent tried dusk. i want too
i think its from the same dev of ultrakill
i think its the same. corporation kinda thing but different devs
yea
also dusk is more quake styled
i like quake
same
It’s good but it is in no way the best retro indie FPS
Kinda criminal 2016 or DE doesnt have rocket jumping. At least theres a cvar for it and you can make it in snapmap
Saw a mod that adds rocket jumping. Always fun to see movement like that in video games
i just love fun tech
its one of them
as a game dev if you ever wanna see how to make your game better, add parries and rocket jumping.
produce fans when the wannabe doom wad isnt held to the same standard as actual high effort projects that stand on their own without nostalgia baiting. 😭
look at the steam description
if a game has shitty grafics as you put it
then i guess dusk, ultrakill, fashon poliece squad have shitty grapfics cause its low poly or pixeley
-m-
no it just doesn't have an appealing art style
i thought you blocked me lmao
I dont really care about graphics
it just has to look cool to me
and sprites just. never look good in 3d spaces
and low fps things give me a headache
low poly is cool just. fuck 2d sprites
then i guess fuck mario 64
yea mario is bad
lol. If its tech imposed than that's different. But again, a game can LOOK bad and still be good. But produce just doenst really have anything to stand out even just looking at the gameplay
its nice it has a level editor. every game should tbh. It's just not as cool as snapmap imo.
you know it
The game is now easy ngl
i still gotta push out my projects
Once you learn the mechanics its EZzz
just been lazy as fuck
U playing on nightmare?
No
im pretty damn good at games but nightmare isnt really that easy unless you go full cheese mode
Hurt me Plenty
yeah thats pretty easy
once you learn the mechanics even nightmare is easy
Perhaps
the 90 hp imp fireball: 
Oh yeah
except for this right here
it ends the game on un
you are not safe from imps on any level lmao
everytime i think of nightmare beind hard i just think of ultra nightmare
Prodeus was a game I wanted to like but something about how framerate was handled (I think it’s different object types running different framerates) gave me a severe headache after a few minutes
cuz yeah its easy to beat the game if ur allowed a few deaths
sammee
yes there are mulitple frame rates of things. it was an eyesore
anyone can beat nightmare be it 0 deaths be it 124891024 deaths
un is the real shit
I only did UN once when i was like 17 grinded on xbox for a few days.
sheeesh on xbox
vega core legit hardest level (if youre not using ammo boost bfg cheese)
I think the last 2 missions are about the same difficulty, which is to say fairly hard. I play kinda weird though so ymmv
5% bfg ammo drop rate more like 500%
there are too many pickups in the last level tho
powerups* my bad
also a mega health right before last arena
The last level just throws a lot of guys at you with a lot of places you can get jumped easily. I get hit by guys I didn’t see in time quite a bit
just repeatedly keep jumping on one of the jump pads and they'll have a hard time hitting you
the only thing that can you hit while mid air are imp fireballs
I just got heavy assault rifle.
Fun gun
what level
2nd
oh i forgot the plasma rifle is the secret not assault rifle
Yup
go mad on them
Not especially.
i mean yea ammo is a thing
If you pay attention to your resources you should be fine. You’re given more than enough ammo to succeed
the chainsaw is free ammo refill
Especially when you account for the chainsaw giving you extra
Chainsaw isn’t free in this game
well yes but it makes it so that you dont need to run around looking for ammo
It’s very convenient
I don’t primarily use it for ammo in 2016 tbh. Mostly for instakilling demons I don’t want to deal with
Especially pinkies. They’re so fast and kind of hard to flank in this game
well we have the stun bomb
I tell you what heat blast takes care of all fodder on screen
good for foundry and AF
- the damage and falter to heavies
Anyone here play on xbox?
based
hey i wanna grab a group of switch players together that play this and do some multiplayer
when I ever go back to 2016 after playing Eternal, I would quick swap between weapons in it too
quick swapping is actually faster in 2016
the holo swap tech
I am finally ready to reveal my secret power in DOOM 2016: the Holo Swap. This quick switching technique is enabled by a subtle use of the hologram itself, one of DOOM's equipment pieces. As I show in my guide, the sequence of inputs hologram - swap cancels the recovery animations of weapons and mods, most noticeable in the case of explosive sho...
holy shit based
might add hologram to my snapmap just cuz of this
dang
i remember there was some movement tech in MP with lateral thrusters
kinda wanna add that aswell
both are equipment tho
hm.
just trying to make my goofy pizza map a fast paced skill shooter lol
you mean like flight boots?
full of tech
not the double jump but the equipment boots
ohh
in MP only
ah sadge
would be cool
Last time I logged on doom 16 online no one was there why is that
uh you see
not many people play anymore and you gotta wait like 15 minutes to get into a match
games old. and most people only cared about the singleplayer
People still play every now and then
Im my option doom online is better then battle mode just saying
no idea why this server is so against supporting MP and Snapmap
absolutely. tbh not even a controversial take
my man i agree
there is a separate server
DOOM SnapMap
Then why don’t we all here log on it im sure we would all be filling up the servers mostly
Yeah i know lol I run it. But thats not offically supported.
yea we could do some customs would be fun
oh shi lol
Got to redownload it tho but yes 100%
sure hmu ill see if i can get on
if ur on pc
I cant get on the game for a week but sure we'll play some rounds
No Xbox and ps4-5
ah damn
does crossplay work?
no sadly
this game needed crossplay so bad
absolutely
Yes it does 1 more updated 6.66.1 just for cross play
Agreed
then literally best game
cant agree more
Come on one more bug fix then we are good just need cross play as well
well i dont think id will go back to this game ever now...
mhm. its sad how corporations work. Whena projects off they just wholly abandon it.
sad to see. kinda why i like indie.
ye
Also valves work conditions are bad really bad like they skip around on projects if the team don’t like you they will fire you no matter if your good at your job or not
thats rough
valve makes games?
Ya
lol
gmod
that was a joke. they dont really make games anymore
all source games basically
oh right
Well actually half life 3 is in the making i think
😔
mehh im kinda done with half life
Debatable. Prodeus is good I enjoyed it personally. But Dusk is miles ahead of it. Out of the big retro indie shooters I would rather play most of them over Prodeus in a heartbeat
Circumventing the wordfilter will result in a warning.
may i ask why the word in question is banned? Seems kinda random
might aswell just ban all bad words at that point
Ehh I think it kinda makes sense since the word CAN be more "harsh" than "fuck" or "shit"
It's far tamer than those
idk. ||expletive|| pleeease
was literally a meme
i wanna see the word filter list 🤔
i cant imagine why it's banned i wanna see the word filter list too
just seems rather tame ive never really seen anyone use || expletive|| like in a serious derogatory way
whatever
discord admins will be discord admins. it is what it is
not that big of a deal
Is there a way to complete the ”no rest for the living” trophy (5 snapmaps) without deleting and re installing my game? Its bugged out for me
Remember the time the word baron was banned hahaha
Nevermind just got the platinum
Unwilling banned for alluding to slavery
Not a single baron emote either. But tons of this weird goat guy who isn't even here anymore 
just a joke of course
best*
the emojis perplex me for sure
ah yes
wall?
haha epic bacon!!! epic!!@
I quite enjoy Prodeus, it's obvious that 2016 was a big inspiration on it.
Along with Amid Evil and Ion Fury I think it's up there of the new Retro Shooters.
Boltgun for me is the next really big release
no idea what either 3 of those last ones are
but im not a boomer shooter fan tbh
The Finals looks sick if we're talking fps games. i played the beta and its sweeet
Hmm, that looks like a Call of Duty style game, so not really my type
the destruction is unparalleled
