Plutonia Easy

About This File

This patch makes Final Doom's "The Plutonia Experiment" easier. I was really annoyed when I started playing "Plutonia" and found that I couldn't even beat it on the lowest skill setting. I'm only an average player (Doom2 on Ultra-Violence is comfortable) so I'm sure I'm not the only person who had trouble with The Plutonia Experiment.

I wanted to make a simple patch rather than fine-tune every level. I gave up on The Plutonia Experiment after only a few levels mainly because of the Chain-Gunners (long- distance snipers and ambushers who suddenly pop up out of nowhere). So, is all this patch does is get rid of the Chain-Gunners and fix the ammo imbalance caused by the missing chainguns.

Here's a list of the changes: - changed Chain-Gunners to Shotgun Sargeants - swapped chainguns and shotguns - swapped bullets and shells - added the chaingun back to map01 (otherwise you wouldn't get it until map05)

Just downloaded it to test how much easier Plutonia gets. Sadly, it's not worth it. Not even one bit. Since the author will never, ever read this, I will just advise all following visitors not to try this; it will permanently change PLUTONIA.WAD, and if you have no backup, you're kinda screwed. Anyways, 0/5. Keep trying kid

Hello. I've downloaded this mod to see if it was worth... it's not. Sadly, I didn't made a copy of Plutonia first, so you owe me a original Plutonia IWAD file. Because your mod SUCKS! Plutonia is already easy! Why do you need to make it so easy that it's not worth playing? See you on youtube: "Shittiest Doom MOD ever made." Oh, BTW: 0/5. -Martin ... I just saw that I redownloaded Plutonia again! Phew...

Lol, Plutonia isn't hard come on :) If you can beat Doom II on UV, Plutonia won't cause you too much trouble... 0/5

If it's a joke, it's worth 0 ; if it's another "omg I'm hardcore I must play on UV" player, it's worth 0. So, 0/5.

Looks like Sparky needs some skill tuning for Plutonia or is too slow in reaction time. How does swapping shotguns for chainguns and chaingunners for seargeants gonna help unless you have good evasion skills? 0/5

Doom 2 on skill 4 is much harder than Plutonia on skill 1. You should be able to beat it. Learn to strafe (and circle-strafe), hide behind cover, conserve and use ammo wisely, and save often. Plutonia is definitely beatable for an average player, it just takes a little more effort. You gave up too soon. -Stormwalker

Sure, feel free to have fun pistoling the bigger enemies to death on maps with no chaingun. Skill 2 is the way to go on Plutonia if you want it easy. The Casalis put effort into making it fun, balanced and easy. Same for HR, which has finely tuned battles that an automated substitution will royally screw up.

If you really think you can beat Doom 2 on Skill 4 and not Plutonia on Skill 1, I think you really can. Making this patch to replace chaingunners with shotgunners doesn't do any good here. You shouldn't have much trouble with Plutonia on skill 1, but you can't just give up just because it's too hard. Give it a little more effort instead of making a stupid patch to make the game easier than it's supposed to be. Otherwise, what's the point of having a challenge in the game and building experience if the game has no purpose?

 

Some people may find it useful but as for you, the uploader, I think you need to make the description more clear. You could just say "This patch is for people who have trouble with Plutonia even on the easiest difficulty" in the description instead of saying that you can beat Doom 2 on skill 4 and not Plutonia on Skill 1.

This isn't a half bad idea, as Plutonia is my favourite doom level pack but not instantly accessible to people who never played Doom. However, replacing chaingunners with shotgunners? Lamest idea ever. 0/5

Why do u need to make a wad that takes away all the fun and challenge out of Plutonia into a complete baby game? Plutonia is supposed to be difficult. That's so dumb. If you at least tried putting a little bit more effort on skill 1 of Plutonia, you shouldn't have any problems at all. If you really can beat doom 2 on UV, Plutonia on skill 1 should not be hard for you. Replacing chaingunners with sergants is the dumbest way to make Plutonia easier.

I like your patch man, congratulations on your work and not be sad with negative comments after all who wants to play hard are not required to install your patch. 5/5 Stars

This is dumb, clumsy and unnecessary. Plutonia has skill levels implemented, and they work far better than this piece of junk.

Plutonia is intended to be hard. If you want it easy, go play something else! 0/0 - Kirby

Who cares how it was supposed to be, people are free to modify it however they want and there is nothing wrong with that. We live in a time of the wonderful cultural shift where people can not just consume art works, but also rearrange and reorganize them to their own needs. Anyway, this patch does exactly what the readme says and some people might find it useful so there's just no reason to rate it 0 stars.

All of the above comments already described my problem with this WAD, why should I even bother to point them out again. One more thing, this sucks, and it needs to be rewarded with a cacoward. That said, 0/5.

The idea has merit, but it would have been simpler to just swap in chainguns in place of every heavy weapons dude. And it could have probably been done with DeHackEd instead of modifying the IWAD. But why bother though - everything went downhill after DOOM Episode 3 (except for Heretic).

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
