Biodegradable Posted August 1, 2020 In terms of enemies I love to hate, that definitely goes to The Triage of Asshole: Revenant, ArchVile and Lost Soul. These three get up my goat, but they can be deadly, especially when teamed up, which makes them great. As for enemies I have absolutely no love for whatsoever and wish they did not exist at all, well, that award goes to the Pain Elemental. Pain by name, pain by nature. This graphic Civvie11 made for his Doom II video really sums up my sentiments towards them perfectly. 9 Share this post Link to post

seed Posted August 1, 2020 None of them because they are all great and serve a purpose in the bestiary. People should get over themselves and stop hating the enemies because they suck at dealing with them... 4 Share this post Link to post
Ant1 Posted August 1, 2020 Just now, seed said: None of them because they are all great and serve a purpose in the bestiary. People should get over themselves and stop hating the enemies because they suck at dealing with them... Really? I don't think anyone is saying we hate the enemies. Like for me with Revenants, they're a great enemy in the game, but I'm bad at fighting them. I hate fighting them cuz of that, but they're well designed and fair. That's what most people are saying here, not "OH ENEMY SUX I CANT FITE IT". 4 Share this post Link to post
Biodegradable Posted August 1, 2020 My tongue is firmly planted in my cheek when I express my hatred for certain enemies. It's all in good fun :P 5 Share this post Link to post

nname Posted August 1, 2020 I remember someone saying, that barons are just bullet sponges and I definitely agree with that. I'm aware, that barons were here since Doom 1, but they definitely slow down the gameplay, especially, when you combine them with some of the beefier Doom 2 monsters. 2 Share this post Link to post

SchwTrdLeenW Posted August 1, 2020 The Icon of sin, no question. The only circumstance where i can tolerate it is when it's used purely as a monster spawner gimmick like in HRs MAP32. Oh, and John Romeros head being the "real" boss is admittedly a funny idea. 1 Share this post Link to post

Final Verdict Posted August 1, 2020 I actually love seeing an Elemental or two in a large fight. They are a great asset when you're trying to cause monster infighting in a particularly tough battle. 1 Share this post Link to post

SYS Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Pain Elementals are ass if you are in tight quarters, there's at least three of them, and your only weapon is a rocket launcher. Any combination or all of the above. For everyone talking smack about zombie guy, we need a 1 monster all zombie guy challenge map. A painful homage to how miserable a carefully placed fodder enemies can make your day. 0 Share this post Link to post
Weird Sandwich Posted August 2, 2020 Revenants by far, because the randomness of when they shoot a homing shot never fails to get me. Especially since the homing shot is remarkably persistent, and custom WADs love to throw a whole bunch of them at you at once. Archviles are difficult but at least their behaviour and attacks are 100% consistent. 1 Share this post Link to post
