Goosepants Posted May 13, 2018 I always choose Ultra Violence for Ultimate Doom and Doom 2, but I’ve considered turning it down to hurt me plenty, just because I find myself getting screwed over in some of the later levels (thy flesh consumed....) 3 Share this post Link to post
Aquila Chrysaetos Posted May 13, 2018 UV for me, sir. I often find myself considering turning it to UV-fast. Thy Flesh Consumed is brutal on UV, but only really in the first two levels. E4M3/9 on really mellow out. 0 Share this post Link to post
MTF Sergeant Posted May 13, 2018 I mostly play on HMP for some regular playthroughs. But for speedrunning. I'd prefer UV. 0 Share this post Link to post
Diabolución Posted May 13, 2018 Ultra Violence from pistol start with no saves and no cheats*, always. In order not to sound like a boaster, I play only the basic IWADs, rest of the official content (Master Levels and No Rest for the Living) and the [x] the Way Id Did series. Oh, and Doom and Final Doom for PlayStation using a real console attached via a true RGB scart. * Except for MAP33 of d2twid.wad and MAP17 of Doom for PlayStation. These levels are boldly unbalanced and I need some extra ammunition to compensate it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Starkiller Posted May 13, 2018 My Grandfather chooses Hurt Me Plenty as his difficulty choice. I choose Ultra-Violence because it offers a bit of a challenge and more demon hordes to slay. 1 Share this post Link to post
Contraboss Posted May 13, 2018 I always do UV. Playing on NM takes the fun out of it for me since I'm in no way a speedrunner, and I hate the pressure it brings with the respawning. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted May 13, 2018 Always UV for me, for Ultimate, Doom 2, and Final Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gerardo194 Posted May 13, 2018 Ultra-Violence nowadays. I rarely play them on the easier/medium ones just for fun and remembering the good old days. No saves in game and no cheats, saving just in the start of the level. 0 Share this post Link to post
Rosh Fragger Posted May 13, 2018 Ultra Violence 80% of the time. Nightmare 20% of the time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) For the original games and most custom wads I go with Ultra-Violence. Occasionally if a custom wad is too ridiculous I'll go down to Hurt Me Plenty. A few years ago I decided to swallow my pride and accept that I just don't have the patience to get through some user made levels on Ultra-Violence. 1 Share this post Link to post
Jerry.C Posted May 13, 2018 It depends on the maps. The original IWADs and most stuff from the mid-90's is definitely UV-material, but for modern megawads I normally use HMP, except for Skillsaw's stuff where I normally play on HNTR. Of course there's exceptions where these rules do not apply. Most E1 clones play best on UV, for example. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cipher Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) For all the original iwads and most user-made wads, UV, no mid-level saves, continuous. If it’s too absurd, I’ll drop it down (managed to get to the end of Scythe on UV, but anything above that would probably be HMP material). I’ll play pistol start occasionally for individual levels. 0 Share this post Link to post

Catpho Posted May 13, 2018 UV mostly. HMP is an option for practicing, tho i seldom use it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Quagsire Posted May 13, 2018 UV, all the time. Used to keep it on HMP. 0 Share this post Link to post
zokum Posted May 13, 2018 I mostly play on UV with the occasional nightmare run. The original maps are a lot of fun when played on nightmare. The challenge is just right. 0 Share this post Link to post
Uncle 80 Posted May 13, 2018 UV for all stock episodes, sometimes Nightmare! for the first three episodes of (U)Doom. I rarely play slaughter maps, so I never need to adjust skill level 🙂 0 Share this post Link to post

SOSU Posted May 13, 2018 I don't wanna die of course! (Hurt me plenty for wads and Ultra violence for vanilla) 1 Share this post Link to post
Apaul27 Posted May 13, 2018 Back then when I start playing Doom, I played on Hurt me plenty. But now since I got used to first person shooters, I'm staying on Ultra Violence. 1 Share this post Link to post
Cruduxy Pegg Posted May 13, 2018 Doom 1, 2 and heretic on nightmare. Rest on UV or rarely UV-Fast. 2 Share this post Link to post
