Reisal Posted December 19, 2017 That really is a good question, last time he was on DW was October of 2015. 0 Share this post Link to post

I would have just made something totally different or scrapped that sort of map with stupid platforming. Interestingly...I remember particularly liking Precarious back when I was playing Sunder. It was so different from the other maps, the atmosphere was fantastic (which was helped by you being stranded high in the air watching the Abyss you call oh so so annoying), and the music choice was amazing (as well as it being the first time I heard that particular track). 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted December 21, 2017 @killer2 The problem I had moreso that RO's movement speed is increased so it makes it harder to do precision platforming. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cynical Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Precarious isn't as bad as the "Super Mario Bros." section in The Furnace. That Cyberdemon on the super-thin cross in Hag's Finger can also be pretty gnarly. (Also: posting in a legendary thread) 0 Share this post Link to post

killer2 Posted December 21, 2017 To be fair, the fights, despite being unbearably hard, are really well designed. I save-scummed my way through all of Sunder I played (I think the first 5-7 maps or so), but I enjoyed every fight. All the encounters are really well done and the gameplay flows very well (assuming you got the skills for it). The monster placement is very well done and none of the fights feel boring or bullshit-y (I mean aside from the general difficulty throughout Sunder). It's sort of like Ribbiks' style, extremely difficult but still fair if you're a doomgod, and enjoyable with a lot of saves even if you're not. 1 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted December 21, 2017 Some old videos of mine (2013) and you can see how the frustration sets in on MAP05. Oh, and an old version of Russian Overkill too. 0 Share this post Link to post

I did a Google search for his nickname several years ago, and found this Twitch user which I followed and later forgot about. Big was my surprise today when I saw him live playing Doom, so I popped into his channel and chatted for a bit. (the video is still available on the channel) Is it possible that it is a hoax? I suppose everything is possible on the Internet, but I find it hard to believe that someone would make a Twitch user with his username, wait several years before streaming, and then lie on a direct question if he is indeed the author of Sunder. 0 Share this post Link to post
