Same here. And even though they're from the same people, I have a "fuck quake/hexen/heretic/etc" mentality. I just play Doom

I don't know what the fuck Rule 34 is, or 63, etc. I'm kinda curious, but I imagine noone will tell me because it makes them feel too cool to be in on the secret, which is very lame of you. <------reverse psychology, sort of

I was playing Resurrection of Evil the other night and when you teleport to Delta Labs, that section of the game scares the pants, underwear, and foreskin off'a me


Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it.
Rule 63: For any given male character, there is a female version of that character.

And vice-versa. The internet is a strange place.

  • I actually like Doom 3 and even ROE.
  • When I first played Doom 3, I found it scary to the point of not being able to play it at night. (I was like 8-10 then though so that's probably why)
  • I actually hate Vanilla.
  • I always either have the problem of not saving enough or saving too much to the point of saving right before something kills me. I also can't figure out how to use resurrect, though I'm probably spelling it wrong in console or something.
  • I often get bored quickly playing Doom lately.
  • I actually played Final Doom before Doom 2 because for some reason back then I thought Final Doom came before Doom 2.
  • Also I played Doom 3 first.
  • I've played through Doom 3 at least 15 times.
That's probably enough for now.

Heh this happens to me too. Remember it's one s and two r

Are you exaggerating or is that a real estimate? I think the most I've played through a game is like 6 times.

When I play Doom, I am all over the place. I look like an Asian playing DDR at the boardwalk, only it's Doom. So I'm just kind of flinching every few minutes because demons are jumping out at me and I'm really into it.

Here are mine:

  • My favorite version of Doom is PSX Final Doom, with Doom 64 coming in second.
  • I don't care much for E3 or E4 of Ultimate Doom, nor do I care for Doom 2 really.
  • Like others, I like the PSX music and FX by Aubrey Hodges more than the original audio by Robert Prince.
  • My favorite Doom level is probably Toxin Refinery. My favorite Doom 2 level is Underhalls.
  • I think the Arch-Vile is a shit enemy and balanced terribly. Whenever I encounter one my enjoyment of whatever I'm playing usually evaporates (probably because of Plutonia setting a bad precedent).
  • Likewise, I much prefer the slower moving Revenant in the PSX Doom ports than the fast moving, border-line annoying Doom 2 one. When it moves fast I think it looks like shit but when it moves slowly it actually kind of unnerves me.
  • I also don't care for the Icon of Sin "enemy" and Icon of Sin-esque levels.
  • Growing up, the level Geryon in PSX Doom kind of creeped me out, pretty much exclusively due to the whistling / chalkboard music track.
  • I liked Doom 3 but not RoE as much.
  • Evilution and Plutonia kind of bother me. Evilution mostly because some of the levels are crap and Plutonia because I mostly dislike the entire design and type of gameplay (bordering on slaughterfest, with monster closets crammed full of the above-mentioned Arch-Viles and fast moving Revenants).
  • I don't believe I ever finished Evilution or Plutonia legitimately for a variety of reasons.
  • A friend of mine and I once played PSX Final Doom almost entirely in a straight-shot on UV, making sure to get 100% kills on every map because we were trying to find the Spider Mastermind (which is included in the cast section but doesn't actually appear anywhere in the game).

Except for MAP32 and maybe a few others, Plutionia's maps aren't slaughterfests at all. I think that most of the levels have less than 100 monsters. The high difficulty was due to the extremely good monster placement.

I suppose the keyword there is "bordering," because that's how I often felt. The odd part is that while I think Plutonia's levels are fairly nice in terms of architecture (even if the general look and feel becomes repetitive quickly), the monster placement (and enemies you're forced to face in near countless shit situations) lowers my enjoyment of it immensely.

Furthermore, considering the first enemy you face in coop is a Spider Mastermind and you're forced to fight it by shooting it with a shotgun or rocket launcher down a hallway with notched walls, I'm not sure if I would call it "extremely good monster placement." I always felt Plutonia's difficulty came mostly from the extreme overuse of Arch-Viles, Heavy Weapon Dudes and Revenants (...especially Revenants).

If i'm exaggerating it's by one or two at most. Hell, it isn't even my most played game either.

In other news, I have no social life whatsoever.

Then why don't you just play it on a lower difficulty?

Because it doesn't matter? Normally I play on the default difficulty (Hurt Me Plenty) and there are several Arch-Viles in the first level. As far as I can remember, even on lower difficulties there are Revenants in every single level. It becomes old really fast.

I don't really understand why you seem so stuck on my opinion of Plutonia's gameplay. =P

Plutonia would be more fun as a Doom 1 megawad. ;)

Nah, it would be a lot less hitscan overall (chaingunners are the most guilty).

The ones he had a beef with:
chaingunner -> sergeant
revenant -> imp
archvile -> baron

The others:
arachnotron -> sergeant
mancubus -> caco
hell knight -> caco
pain elemental -> caco
wolf SS -> sergeant

And of course, SSG has to go...

I lie to people so that I can play Doom. Sometimes I lie to people about having played Doom.

"I'd love to chat more, but I'm tired. I'm going to bed." = "I'm going to play Doom while you think I'm sleeping."
"I had a lot of free time today." = "I played Doom for an unhealthy amount of time."
"I'm busy with a lot of things." = "I'm playing Doom."
"I was just chatting online all night, y'know." = "I was playing a Doom deathmatch with other people just like me, and the only thing we said to each other was 'GG'. It kicked ass."

^I was on a roll myself playing other games but then a friend invited me to someone's ST server and I promptly got addicted again. Dammit.

It's been a few months for me, too. I did play PSX Final Doom lately but I haven't touched the PC version in awhile.

I've downloaded hundreds of wads after reading their /newstuff reviews. I either like the way they sound, or just want a good laugh if they've received a particularly bad review.

But I never fuckin play them, I probably play less than 10% of what I download.

Heh, I do this. The percentage that I end up playing is probably close to that, too...

In fact, instead of playing all those levels I haven't played yet, right now I just started working on playing all the original levels from a pistol start....

Side-topic: Are they all beatable from a pistol start?

I actually lasted an hour with infinite ammo with the chaingun at the ending of Mock 2: The Speed of Stupid. You know, the area that leads to the gaint person crapping into the toilet bowl, and the spawn cubes fly out of the person's ass?

I also beat Mock 2's map, "Turn That Frown Upside Down" with no savegames.

Also, how the hell do you beat Mock 2's map, "RECTUMRECTUMRECTUM"?
