BaileyTW Posted April 18, 2021 No one has actually defeated John Romero, so no one has won the game. We are all posers. 1 Share this post Link to post
Devalaous Posted April 18, 2021 I'd simply say beating the classic four IWADs is enough, on HMP or UV. 3 Share this post Link to post

Thanks for that, @LordEntr0py :P) You're welcome 😀 I loved his extended deconstruction of what "Doom poser" and what "all of Doom" really means. 3 Share this post Link to post
Pseudonaut Posted April 18, 2021 By definition, you're only a poser if you attempt to pose as something that you're not. So it doesn't matter how many wads you've played unless you're claiming to be some kind of doomgod or you're saying "I've played every wad worth playing", but claims such as those don't appear very often. And if some people are debating the qualifications of a True Doom Fan™, don't worry about such arbitrary nonsense. 5 Share this post Link to post

UnknDoomer Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Quote To obtain the rank of "Doom Connoisseur", you must complete a pacifist run of NUTS.WAD while standing on your head naked, clutching the little plastic bust of John Romero's head from the Collector's Edition of Sigil between your butt-cheeks. and by other hand making speedrun with dance pad under your head for control (or else you can glue the rug to the ceiling) to show to this forum pathetic folks, that dare to have the rank of senior and above, who is a true master here. Скачать видео Скачать видео From my point of view it may be all IWAD's and around ~ 50+ different PWAD's you like by some random reason, so you can understand the big picture. In top of that perhaps some gameplay mods, but this is optional. Edited April 18, 2021 by UnknDoomer 0 Share this post Link to post

Snakes Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Only one pwad is needed to no longer be considered to be a poseur, and that is end1.wad 2 Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted April 18, 2021 You're not a true DooM connoisseur until you've waded through the utter shit that constituted most of the user-created maps and wads of the 1990s. You wouldn't believe how much time can be wasted searching for that rare nugget of pwad gold. You gots to pay yer dues if you want to sing the blues. Or something. 3 Share this post Link to post
DemonicSavage Posted April 18, 2021 You have to create your own source port from scratch, without referencing any documentation or the original source code, in Assembly. After that, use it to play every single PWAD ever created. Not released, created. Hacking into every computer ever used to created PWADS is left as an exercise to the reader. Be sure to have means to implement the "if you die in the game, you die in real life" rule, if needed. 5 Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted April 19, 2021 @DemonicSavage: Fuckin' hilarious satire, if I do say so myself! "Assembly". Ha! Pure comedic gold! But the piece de resistance was this: "if you die in the game, you die in real life" rule". I can't stop chuckling. You really made my evening. 0 Share this post Link to post
BaileyTW Posted April 19, 2021 You have to be able to run doom with your bare hands to not be a poser 0 Share this post Link to post
Phobus Posted April 19, 2021 You need to have played enough that your list of top ten favourite maps has nothing to do with the IWADs. The community output has far surpassed the base games, and had done so a long time ago, so get playing! 0 Share this post Link to post
Teo Slayer Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) The PWADS I have complete are: Plutonia 2 Lunatic Scythe Scythe 2 Scythe X Demo Going Down I will edit this comment when I'll beat an another PWAD I enjoy playing them :D Edited April 23, 2021 by Teo Slayer 0 Share this post Link to post

Scythe (with saves) 3. Scythe 2 (with saves) 4. Valiant 5. Ancient Aliens 6. Good chunk of Alien Vendeta (gave up at map 25, but I´ll try it out again without saves) 7. Going down (saves) 8. Plutonia 2 (saves) 9. Three is a Crowd 10. btsx episode 1 10. 1/2 of Eviternity 11. Japanese Comunity Project 12. Sigil So far I´m playing through Memento Mori 2 and enjoying my time so far :) Sunlust is the hardest wad I've ever played, I would recommend playing it if you like challenging wads. 0 Share this post Link to post
