Icon of Sin and various sequence breaks that can occur disagree. Freelook is best used for wads where it was actually meant to be used, not vanilla maps. You can do that, sure, but that's not the intended experience. 4 Share this post Link to post
DooM Bear Posted July 10, 2020 16 hours ago, The Strife Commando said: Limitations can suck, huh? Hehehehe yeah I always got the feeling that was the case (whether due to time restraints, technical limitations or both) and that they had bigger plans for it :-P That said, and bear in mind I am no game dev, it is just such an anticlimax and surely the could have made it a bit better / more challenging! To be honest, I usually just consider the cyber demon at the end of map 29 to be the “final” boss fight and the Icon is just a bonus level :-P 0 Share this post Link to post
A Nobody Posted July 11, 2020 I'd like to see the Icon of Sin remade into a harder boss fight. No, Brutal Doom's version does not count. 0 Share this post Link to post

With a bit of tweaking the BD Icon of Sin it could be an amazing boss. Though i find it strange you mention a ZDoom enemy in a classic Doom topic. 0 Share this post Link to post

But yes, freelook is cheating when playing against the Icon of Sin lol. 0 Share this post Link to post
