MegaSphere Posted February 18, 2016 All they do is turn Doom into even bigger switch hunt and slow the game down with Hellcore 2.0 and those shit Hellbound city maps being good examples of what not to do eye candy is nice but don't make your map a fucking walking simulator no one wants to play that do you think anyone finished Plenisphere 2? Of course not. Even if it didn't run like shit no one would have the patience to look for few dozen switches and have to guess which street can let him progress and which is a dead end. 0 Share this post Link to post

Da Werecat Posted February 18, 2016 You know, spiting the likes of you is its own separate reason to include more problem-solving into Doom maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
Decay Posted February 18, 2016 Everything is going to be okay. Step back from the computer and count to 10. Then proceed to play Complex Doom paired with Complex maps along with Knee-Deep in Zdoom. Have a cup of tea and then go to bed. Wake up and then try to finish wow.wad and consider your life goals fulfilled. 0 Share this post Link to post

joe-ilya Posted February 18, 2016 I actually beat planisphere 2 patiently, and it was more of a key hunt than it was a switch hunt. 0 Share this post Link to post

BaronOfStuff Posted February 19, 2016 Here you go OP, just what you want out of PWADs: No switch hunting here! No mazes, backtracking or getting lost! Perfect! 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted February 19, 2016 Complex maps prove particularly difficult for men on the high seas seeking the buried treasure. Whatever happened to a simple "X marks the spot"?! 0 Share this post Link to post

Katamori Posted February 19, 2016 Who the fuck cares, Doom mapping is an art form, and is open for experimenting. I actually want more maps like Planisphere 2, Hellbound City maps or Doxylamine Moon, cuz they push Doom to the limit and give a new experience. Whining is the cancer, not the maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
Albertoni Posted February 19, 2016 You know what Megasphere, this thread inspired me. My next map for ZDoom will have some sort of heavily scripted puzzle that will require you to walk around for ages. 0 Share this post Link to post
vadrig4r Posted February 19, 2016 I remember back when people used to say "I don't like it" or "I think it's shit". Now even mild dislike is conveyed with "it's cancer". I don't even disagree, I just wonder what words/phrases are going to be left for genuine loathing. 0 Share this post Link to post

Exaggeration is hip these days I've noticed, but if I said I didn't do it fairly often I'd be full of shit. 0 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted February 19, 2016 I like it when maps are adequately detailed but neither over or underdone, such as Unholy Realms, Fava Beans and others as examples. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted February 19, 2016 In all honesty, if you like linear maps that kinda "guide you through" without having to do much IWAD-like hunting for the next area, you'll probably love my maps. It's never been my intention, but my maps are notably easy to navigate compared to most contemporary maps. I mean, I disagree fully that the notion of searching around makes a map "bad" but it's rare you'll have to do so on my turf unless you're impressively unobservant. 0 Share this post Link to post
