why pain elementals suck

[Majin]

1. a reskin of another enemy

2. feels like they have too much health 

3. often summon ls while you're attacking them

4. almost always become the #1 priority target in any situation

5. punishes the player for existing by summoning enemies 

6. exists only to deplete ammo

7. no reward for it's death

8. summons ls even in death 

9. sounds are annoying 

10. looks ugly 

11. looks goofy

12. flies across the level meaning you cant escape from it (See gangstalking) 

13. summons ls to stalk you (See gangstalking)

14. setitng is ltierally hell but they choose a giant meatball 

15. lost souls fuckign suck

[Antkibo]

I think 8 is key. If you remove that, you get 7 and a much better experience overall.

Lower the HP of Lost Souls as well. Now I'm thinking to make combat based on Pain Elemental with Player w/ Shotgun only.

Idea for community project: Over a certain period of time, every time someone makes a thread about why a certain enemy sucks, you have to add more of that enemy to your map (as many as there are posts in the thread).

[Gifty]

All you gotta do is make them explode on death and it would be so much more interesting to fight. And yeah, lost souls have too much health.

69.  They don't leave a corpse, so you can't even admire your handiwork afterwards

not being able to kill them in one hit with shotty is pretty lame, actually. But SGG is overkill. The lost soul is something the very hated Doom 64 solved. And messed up.

sadly, a lot of people seem to dislike it for various reasons

[vanilla_d00m]

They attack you more in DOOM 64.  I agree with OP saying they are the first one to go, don’t want lost souls flooding the level.  I think they don’t suck, i grown use to them and just play the game.

[Obsidian]

Well that's just, like, your opinion man.
