Tried out Double impact... there must be something really wrong with me, but i don't have any desire to play it anymore after just beating the first level.
This first level had a very bullshit part in it that i beat only after a couple tries even after knowing exactly what was going to happen (the little slime place with slime that takes 10 health off and a spectre and a shotgun guy - it's just so freaking stupid, but i can't see a way to reliably beat that place without losing more that a little health and i really, really hate such areas - and then you press a switch and a horde of hitscanners comes out, which i had to run from since i was at low health and had no shotgun ammo). And i just can't stand playing a map when i know half of it already, it is only ever interesting for me on the first try, maybe a bit of the second. So i did beat the first map after dealing with that bullshit part but all interest in further progress was gone. I understand how silly it sounds but when i know all the enemy placement and items in half of a map beforehand, i really just feel like i'm cheating and having an unfair advantage. Unless it's a slaughter map of course, in which case i probably don't even try to play it at all JUST KIDDING in which case i actually think knowing the map IS the requirement to beating it, which i don't like, but can stand.
Edit: tried to return to e1m2 and it went much better, no deaths, but a lot of near-death experiences, just how i like it. Will probably play further now. Still, that place in e1m1 is bullshit.
