Only ultraviolence is real, nothing more, nothing less... and if someone makes a wad that's too hard on ultraviolence then leave a 1/5 review saying the wad is too hard/mindless.

The only example of bad cheesing I can think of is stuff like having a monster block line between a melee only monster and yourself.. tbh sometimes I feel like modern mappers go overboard with cheeseproof encounters to the point where each fight feels like a setpiece and there's not much inbetween. It's best to have a balance, imo.

Killing Heretic's golem is the most satisfying thing ever... with the way their flesh gets ripped to shreds and their souls ascend from their bodies. In one of the Heretic maps I designed I deliberately put a tome of power, a deathclaw (?), and a horde of golems close enough that whenever I play it I can rip into them with the secondary fire. mmmmmm Oh, and

50 Shades of Graytall is more like a piece of abstract art than a wholesome DooM experience IMO, it's a bit hit or miss.. otherwise that's a good list. +1 for No End in Sight. :)

This is the best way to miss out on a lot of great records, they deserve to have shrines built in their names for just these two songs alone. I still get chills running down my spine whenever I listen to their self titled song. :) I used to listen to a lot of punk but got seriously burned out on it... if metal has a problem with cookie cutter middle of the road bands sounding similar and not going out of their comfort zone then punk has a rampant epidemic of conformity and bands that fail to distinguish themselves from one another, right down to the lyrics. I AM grateful for punk music though, but only because Swedish death metal bands like Nihilist and God Macabre took d-beat drumming and made better music with it. ;))))))))))

Was listening to this, and since my creative juices were really flowing I decided to name myself after it. :>

Former human's gib sound... I have a lot of nostalgia attached to that from the first time I played DooM at a computer fare. :P

Worth the bump

Too much repetition in design decisions, predictable gameplay and lack of memorable situations/areas.. as if the mapper stays in his comfort zone and goes on autopilot when he designed the map. This is only noticable when playing a megawad though.

I love Japanese vocals.

Oh really? Imagine this with instruments. Doom 16 is already pretty stupid tbh, fist bumping marine dolls, edgy fatalities, opening demons like pinyadas with a chainsaw... I like both the metal songs and synth songs in the original Doom because they were both ultimately grounded in classical music and were riff orientated, you definitely need variety in every game that takes longer than 8 hours to play... but what grated me was that whenever they "tried" to play metal in Doom 4 they mixed the worst elements of modern alternative music in to attract a younger audience in and created a diluted Frankenstein that doesn't pull any strings or do anything for me.

When an area looks like shit and you start questioning your existence and whether you want to live or not.

so you follow wadbot too? :P For some reason this area has burned itself into my head ever since first I saw it there and was just thinking of it last night, forget that I've been visiting the site everyday for the last year.

happened to me with Kristus's curse of the demon god... and the worst thing is my compliment was almost word for word the same. :p

The Rebirth, by Vader. https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/megawads/rebirth

Another one is Blood Alloy, not even a synthwave soundtrack was able to save it.

One of the best mapsets ever.. nice to see this getting revisited.

I like April Fools, even just for the fact that it's funny when game devs use it to troll their audiences. :p Edgy and ironic humor made my day though.

Anyone else also excited for this unveil? I've been a fan of the Total War series since the first Rome, and a fan of the Warhammer Fantasy for almost as long... so I'm interested to see how they include the Lizardmen, Rat men and the pointy 'eads (dark & high elves) into this! Also, to anyone that owns the first Total War: Warhammer; if you buy this then both the Old World and the New World (Lustria) merge and become one huge map. Out of everything, I'm most looking forward to seeing how (or if) they implement Skaven... although I think we can all safely agree that such rumors of rats as tall as man, blessed with the most vile intellect and cunning, the dark side of our souls, come to destroy us for our sins... exist for no other purpose than to serve as tales to scare children into behaving at night! :))) Edit:

I lost this video... but found it again! Yay *posts here so I never lose you again*

Awesome! Congrats on the release, my dudes.. and happy birthday franckfrag! I'm going to autoalign some sectors in Necromantic Thirst (if I'm lucky) to celebrate. :)

Agree, the pitch shifting sounds way too remastered, polished, over produced and artificial for my tastes.. something like this is a way better example for using shifting for an "evil" protagonist to make them sound otherworldly.. meh, I'm probably posting in the wrong thread anyway as I'm more a fan of single player fps games where you explore through surreal environments. Edit: did I just fucking link to a synth song I posted earlier?

Best thing I've come across so far this week..

Especially found this cover to be amazing. Source: https://www.newretrowave.com/retro-artwork/2017/2/22/cyberpunk-star-wars-a-dark-jedi-and-a-renegade-princess
