Thank you much! Retrodoom is awesome :D

Erm...I believe this is obvious to most people, but it's lost on me...how do I play other WADs with this? It seems that I can play DooM II and nothing other than DooM II when DooM II is in the folder with Doom Retro. If I delete the DOOM2 WAD but leave another WAD in, such as tnt, it plays tnt. Is there any more convenient way of playing other WADs? And also, how do I play custom WADs? Sorry for my terrible english.

I wonder why they dropped that? It would've been really cool. And I personally really like the Bruiser's design. It's not really scary, but just kinda crazy and stuff...I dunno. I thought it was a nice change since it looked really unique compared to a lot of the monsters in Doom 3. I keep confusing Arch-Viles for Imps.

I've always assumed that it was like a prequel or something, and it took place on the way out of Hell...

Even the Sega 32x sounds better than OPL

So I know this is off-topic from the current discussion here, but I feel like this little complaint would be stupid of me and very much hell-worthy to make a new topic about. What's with the music in MAP08? I mean, it's so sad...when I first played it, I expected that to be the end of the game since it was so intense and dramatic and melancholy, as if the character was about to shoot himself or had killed the big bad dude and was about to say "It's all finally over..." with a dramatic sigh. And then, on the next level, the music is back to it's nice metal theme with fast paced action and all that jazz. Very odd transition of musics, very jarring. What's up with that? PS: I really really love the music in MAP08, even though it's horribly unfitting, don't take this complaint as in me saying it's bad music! It's just completely unfitting for the level.

I thought Partial Invisibility made it so that you could sneak around everything...

Does anyone else hate the snake monsters? They are just so out of place and boring. I mean, they don't even look like demons and they look much stronger than they are.

I can't wait to play Plutonia in Duke3d :D

Has anyone ever beat all levels in Final Doom: Plutonia Experiment in Nightmare? It's already nigh-impossible even without everything respawning constantly, I can't imagine it on Nightmare.

The chaingunner dudes. Oh god, the chaingunners. I HATE when they are in a little ledge firing away at me while I'm busy trying to destroy the Mancubi in Plutonia Experiment's ungodly map known as 'Caughtyard'. Oh GOD that map.

I don't think Doom can do survival horror at all, really. That's what ruined Doom 3 for me. It was fun when the game was at least honest about being Doom, with tons of enemies and guns to fight with towards the end, but all in all, it just wasn't scary and honestly kind of boring. That's not to say Doom shouldn't be scary, though. Doom should still have moments that are scary, but not the kind of scary as in Silent Hill or Amnesia: The Dark Descent scary. The game just doesn't work with that, especially since you have a rocket launcher and a shotgun to blow anything away with. What the game should have, however, are stressful-scary moments. Halo pulled this off very well, with the Flood. It's scary because there are a ton of the little monsters that infect and mutate your team mates, and they are chasing you down cramped hallways and confusing buildings while stressful music is playing in the background to give off a really "oh shit oh shit oh shit I'm fucked help me god" vibe, and it actually works, alongside some moments that make you go "AW HELL YEA". Doom 3, however, tried the "oh god, what's over there" kind of thing, and it just doesn't work considering you have an awesome weaponry at your side. Also, for music, I agree the game should have some ambient music, but not really overboard with it. It should have some awesome rockin' tracks alongside some intense ones designed to stress you out. It would all work together to add both scary and totally bad-ass gameplay.

Come on guys, I really need help with this ;~;

All I want is a game that doesn't pussy out and force me to kill wimpy russians with a boring soundtrack that's forgettable. I want action levels, with lots of blood and gore, lots of enemies, a soundtrack like Quake 2's or Final Doom's, no team-mates, and less focus on Multiplayer.

Okay, so I found out that I had to update my game to 1.3.1...so I did! Unfortunately, this isn't an easy game to update ( I really don't think a game should be this hard just to update it ). Well, my base folder and everything was an absolute mess from ages of custom maps and sound packs and things, so I re-installed Doom 3 to a new directory on a separate hard-drive, so there wouldn't be any chance of mods and things being in the way. Well, it was a completely fresh install and everything was finished installing, all was well, the game worked fine. So I downloaded the installer for 1.3.1... Well, I swear this game either simply doesn't like me, or something is wrong with my copy, because when the update finished installing, and everything was well, it gave me an error after I tried to play the game.

I'm pretty sure it means that game03.pk4 is broken or something, but it simply doesn't have any reason to be. This is a completely fresh install. Can I get some help please? Also, if this is a stupid and really common and easy fix that I just can't find for unknown reasons, feel free to hell this thread, but please message me a link to the fix! Also I think it's pretty bad that an update that's supposed to fix the game's bugs and glitches breaks it. That just seems really counter-productive to me.
