Asking because there was that other thread where someone was asking something that most likely no one on DW could/would discuss. Might be good to have a few recommendations ready for the next time someone like that comes along looking for help on electrical engineering or god knows what else.

I'd actually like to draw attention to the one with the glowing hand and psychic powers. No wonder it got cut out but man it was cool as hell. I wonder if there are a lot of Star Wars fans on the team. No wonder we got a 'demonic' lightsaber in eternal.

Probably on account of if you made it for the shotgun then why didn't you make it for the other guns? And if you made it for guns in one game, why didn't you make new ones for all the weird new ones in the new game? If you notice even a lot of the newer animations are similar many times to the older animations. Either they can reuse animations or reuse them with minimum tweaks.

Perhaps having unique kills for each gun was too much work? Guns x Enemies= ? I know i was hoping for multi enemy kills in eternal but maybe enemies2 is why it never happened just like above case

They don't seem particularly slow but that's just my opinion. At least they aren't God of War slow. I know some people keep going on about the gore in that not realizing how much it slows you down and takes you out of the game.

Sometimes but I usually play Doom to take breaks from work so I'm not really burnt out all too much.

Whatever the latest iteration of unreal enginer is. From my layman understanding, it provides the most modularity, graphical fidelity and computational optimization.

Sometimes, esp., if it's about to be morning in a few hours, I like to use the sleeping eyepatches.

Sure, why not? More completely new content is always good. Would be great too if we got something not dumb like the wall texture IoS, or the meat sponge, big damage, cyberdemon/spider mastermind. If nothing else, at least there would be new assets to play with.

That one with the archviles and the bunny music.

Expansion Pak/DLC according to current standards. Extra maps, few new weapons and enemies aren't a proper sequel. Can't really compare to back then given computers and gaming in general was lot more limited but for nowadays everything would need to be new. New assets altogether, many new enemies and weapons and for those that are from before, they need to be revamped enough to add quintillion levels of 'emergent' gameplay.

No Since I always play with the hellscape navigator mod and set it to reveal everything. Don't really care to hump walls to find secrets. Additionally reveals the map, of course. Not that you don't still have to traverse it even if it is revealed and you don't necessarily know the order of the places you're supposed to go to.

I did ignore through the system and I'm not going to bother expanding posts since I do genuinely feel like I was probably troll baiting at that point. I doubt there is any reason to quote to show inflammatory posts unless said person also wants to troll. Equipment, you can't because there is no such system but I think the philosophy of every weapon is best for a specific situation is present in most DOOMs, at least from the discussions I've heard from technical people. If you're talking about the aggressive Devil May Cry style, yeah I think that is a bit too aggressive. I'm not sure it's necessary though. As for your points on target prioritization, being on the move and enemy mobility, I'm not sure how much there is of this in classic since its been a minute since I've played anything beyond The Factory in DOOM 2 but before that, from what I know, you could say that. Though not in some maps of TFC. E4M2, M3 and M9 I definitely think you need to move fast in those maps, especially E4M2. Also wouldn't you call the need to take out hit scanners immediately, especially chaingunners or revenants with their homing missiles, target prioritization? Also said hitscanners and revenants did force you to move unless there was only like one or 2 of them in the room, right? I think Plutonia is pretty notorious for these two. Though again, its been a while so I don't remember all too well. Enemy mobility isn't quite the same but there is a facsimile in the fact of precariously perching ranged enemies on ledges or at some very far off distance so that your attention gets divided between them and those within your immediate vicinity. Not the same but in a similar vein of distracting and hurting you a lot, there are some one way walls I've seen which allow ranged monsters to pelt you. If it's a hitscanner it becomes a lot harder because you can't see where the attacks are coming from. I'd primarily say it's the robust AI, as far as enemies go, that might be the difference between classic and Modern DOOM, though I don't really know how it works on a technical level or if it changes beyond UV.

If anyone is willing to help, problem statement is in topic. And yes it is the only mod in my load order when I'm seeing this issue. Though I'll let you know that I do mess around with massive mod combos of all sorts and I suspect that the .ini(s) with the settings and all other data usually get too many weird values for things to start acting up like this.

Most of that could be said of classic Doom as well especially if you are playing one of the harder games/episodes like TFC or Plutonia. There are only so many differences in terms of mechanics and options. Define slaughtermap because it seems like every map/mapset has quite a few levels with 666 and above monsters nowadays in relatively small, if not miniscule, spaces. Especially a lot of the cacowards.

I don't know what you are referring to or trying to say in relation to it. Sure if you're talking about the commercial wads. Though, what you said about modern DOOM is pretty applicable to the hardest PWADs.

I don't understand what you mean. Also, not really sure what you guys are talking about. I thought it was pretty obvious in ALL Doom games that UV is supposed to be the hardest before BS shows up. I've played 2016 and Eternal on UV my first try. Died a few times on Hell guard and Spider Mastermind because 2016 makes it so easy to get life and armor back and use the super shotty on everything. Eternal I died a few times here and there but again it was ameliorated by the extra lives system. The only place I really felt a bit frustrated was the IoS which would just pound me/the building/etc. and I'd go flying way beyond reasonable. Also trying to hit his abs and/or figure out if they've been fried by your BFG is a pain in the ass, esp., with the clusterfuck around you. Those are all the shitty things I can remember from Modern Doom. Only related to the IoS though. TBF, fights vs. giant dudes usually don't go too well presumably because hit boxes might be hard at that scale, something I also found in Devil May Cry games. Oh also, superweapons suck and have limited utility because you can't find ammo for them and they have 2 or 3 uses. SIDE NOTE: I was really hoping for the kind of mobility during the IoS like there was in Devil May Cry 4 against the savior. Shame, there should have been more buildings which would have made it easier to run circles around the IoS which is what you do for the majority of Modern Doom.

Doom Eternal is the hardest for many of you? Do you guys just decide to play ultra nightmare from the get go?

From the way VEGA is speaking it sounds like he is indeed the father. Or at least he believes he is.

I think the extermination day doesn't work if you try to use it on its own. You can use the HoE starter pack which is a lot more compatible with everything but its very outdated and uses several levels from Freedoom Phase 2 as well as not having some of the levels and segments in EDAY.

I definitely mean it as an artistic choice, not in a "this sucks and the creators should be ashamed" way. I enjoy playing the extremely lengthy map but what with the textures and layout, looking at it over a long time and listening to the particular choice in music composition, and the initial text intro, it's like the designers wanted me to get catharsis by weeping and agonizingly vomiting all at once from some great sorrow that I can't quite put my finger on. It feels like the place was already an obscenely rotting corpse before hell came to desecrate it. I'm just wondering if anyone, esp., if the artists themselves want to comment, want to give more specifics than the nebulous feelings I am speaking of.

It's harder if not the hardest than Doom and Doom 2. I'd recommend after rather than before. The prior ones might also seem lame in comparison if you do it first.

E1M2 is great. E4M2 levels (considering the map before) and beyond are stupid, IMO. I don't care for pistol starts with cyberdemons up the ass or nuts level of enemies attacking you immediately. Makes it feel like that one meme with the petite girl surrounded by 5 overbearing and presumably well endowed men. Frankly though I'm not a fan of maps or hell even entire mapsets that are action through and through. I prefer maps to let me have little breathing room here and there with a little bit of looking around and easier encounters between the main course(s).
