Does anybody actually like bad infamous maps like "Nuts"?

Recommended Posts

BPRD is definitely a highly regarded mapper, however even though Nuts was never really a serious effort it's probably his most played and well known map. It was a different era, admittedly, but that still says something.

To be fair, what is fun to speedrun and what is fun to casually play can often be two completely different things

Can't you just casually play and try to rush as fast as possible? two birds one stone

Nuts is a great test map - but for all intents and purposes not really meant to be played. Even though some people actually managed.

When will an ordinary gaming pc be capable of running Nuts and allow Zero Master's TAS technique to be used in real time?

Does anyone like bad maps? No. But people's taste differ so they find those maps enjoyable. Probably.

Crispy Doom plays Nuts.wad and Nuts2.wad without any slowdowns.

 

As for nuts3.wad, it has a little trouble displaying the 12,000+ monsters on screen, but runs without slowdowns.

 

I assume that new Hellion port is going to make all 3 wads work well without slowdowns.

I actually like Nuts and play it from time to time. In fact, I even created some maps of similar nature for myself. It's fun to sometimes just face the monster crowd.

Nuts and nuts 2 are bad indeed. Nuts 3 on the other hand, is probably one of the best things B.P.R.D made. Its visuals are too beautiful, and it's quite fun to play if you know what you're doing.

I love gimmick maps. Just have fun. I'll take good gameplay over an artful masterpiece anytime. That's not to say they're mutually exclusive, though.

I like maps that take some time to beat, like , slaughterfest series, slaughterMAX, sunder and many more. Even if the map layout is very mediocre.

You mean, maps where you kill mass numbers of enemies, with minimal, if any consideration given to the progression? Unfortunately, yes. Slaughter maps are great in and in themselves but imo, it's a different matter to BFG-spam basically all the time.

Maps like these can be fun even if they're straight up impossible.  Nuts always gets a good laugh out of me because of how ridiculous it is lol. My brother lieks to play it with mods for extra fun.
