Lizardcommando Posted May 9, 2016 I guess with that new Doom game coming out soon, you've got more and more replaying Doom again. This video's kinda interesting to watch. They're playing the BFG Edition of Doom 3 that came with Ultimate Doom and Doom 2. It would have been really interesting if they had played Coop or Deathmatch with it (I'm not sure if you could play split screen on the XBox 360 version of this). 0 Share this post Link to post
Chezza Posted May 9, 2016 Nice. It looks like these guys haven't touched Doom in a long time though. I want to see them take on the Cyberdemon. 0 Share this post Link to post
Li'l devil Posted May 9, 2016 I really love those guys commenting: "Shoot him in the ass!"; "Let's cut some motherfuckers up with this!"; "Got some ass shit!". That's really amazing! I also like how James calls barrels oil drums. 0 Share this post Link to post

Li'l devil Posted May 9, 2016 ^^Pretty much like keyboard-only controls.. it's kind of difficult to play that kinda game without mouse, i admit.. 0 Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted May 9, 2016 I wish I'd known about being able to map keyboard settings in the setup menu when I played as a kid. Being able to aim with the mouse and move with WADS would have been SO useful back when I was a kid. When I went back to Dosbox and tried it with remapped keys to WADS and mouse and it was much better. I don't like that moving the mouse forward makes you go forward but I can get around it by moving constantly. I straight up can't do certain PWADs (And even Final Doom) without mouse aiming, though, it's just too frustrating having hitscanners positioned where the auto-aim is hit and miss. 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted May 9, 2016 Except that you wouldn't have been able to aim back then, that wasn't implemented until the source port days in the late 90s... 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted May 9, 2016 I probably should have clarified that I was no longer talking about Vanilla Doom at that point. These days, I have to have mouse aim and, apparently, it's a legitimate function that Romero actually said he likes seeing in source ports, the only reason it wasn't in Vanilla Doom was that, at the time, it was considered too advanced a technique. We take it for granted now but, back then, I guess they thought not having to worry about vertical aim would make it easier. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pencil of Doom Posted May 9, 2016 James and Mike playing Doom E1?! That's a must watch! 0 Share this post Link to post
Silverforte Posted May 9, 2016 Yeah, 360 doom pretty much plays like keyboard only doom, actually a bit better cause you get better precision with the analog than the directional keys, its fine really. Most fps games are 100% better on pc but classic doom isnt the case. 0 Share this post Link to post
ReFracture Posted May 9, 2016 I'm physically incapable of watching people who aren't good at Doom play casually. Oh well, I always like to see Doom get good exposure. 0 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted May 10, 2016 heh. they play the game rather terrible, but i guess they haven't played the game that much recently. at least they didn't die anywhere and the video was edited so it's not really tedious at all (no E1M9, but oddly enough they cut out the entirety of E1M2 for some reason?) if anyone's interested, looks like they're gonna do the rest of the episodes, and then move on to Doom 2 afterwards. i wonder how they'll handle Thy Flesh Consumed. :p 0 Share this post Link to post

Believe it or not, there are people who grew up on Doom and are fond of it that don't compulsively play it to the point that they know every single line of the game's source code. This shouldn't be some kind of exclusive "You must know THIS much about Doom and play it this often before I'll deem you worthy of liking it" club. 0 Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted May 11, 2016 Nowhere in my post did I say you were "bitching", I'm saying chill out. Not everyone has to play Doom completely seriously, they're playing very casually and being themselves. They're not playing it to impress the Doom community, they're entertainers. 0 Share this post Link to post
