Breaks are insanely important and usually underestimated. I have personal experience of this, not in DOOM but in another game that I've played actively since 2009, osu! When you spend a huge chunk of your playtime to one singular game, you tend to enjoy all sort of things that the game and the community is offering. The different styles of beatmaps I played, all sort of community tournaments I played and so on. Eventually however I also got hit by that burnout and it does happen from time to time. Playing some types of beatmaps feels insanely bothersome and forcing myself to play them to improve myself feels like work. That's why you need to mentally reset, a snap. Play something else a bit for few days. Even right now as I am writing, I am recovering myself with some Risk of Rain 2 (which is insanely good game, highly recommend) and it is doing some wonders. DOOM is not going anywhere.

That is a completely fair point.

I tried it out yesterday and I have to say that developers sure were horny at the time as some placeholders were very questionable. That being said, this is massive news and I'm sure that this will make a lot of people happy knowing that they can finally close the book.

That's fair, just like NES era games. Glad I went for HMP in that case.

Not sure if I am allowed to bump this thread but I decided to give this wad a shot after I saw a video about it as I like the idea of restricted mapping. I was originally going to play this in UV but after dying a lot in MAP06, I realized that it was most likely better for me to play this on HMP because I am a big baby. Some levels felt like a huge luck check like MAP14 with the chainsaw. I did enjoy the ride though.

Does Valheim count? It's been amazing, considering how it's still early access and everything.

Not really an option in the poll, but I find it really annoying when people (obviously outside of Doomworld) argue that DOOM is extremely outdated and aged like a milk. ...what?

Didn't see anyone talk about this here yet so I figured that I should make a thread. What do you think? I personally enjoyed it quite a bit.

To be fair, Karl Jobst's content is purely about speedrunning, which DM really isn't. ...then again, not everything in the video is necessarily speedrunning related either.

Obligatory. Not sure if I should add a warning here or not.

This would be my answer as well. ...but at the same time, also this. I play a lot of weird gameplay mods, just not Brutal Doom.

I think I said this in another thread that has the same idea as this one; Old School RuneScape but in DOOM.

I don't know what's happening in the chat.

Here's a sequel if someone is interested:

They would have done something already if the ratio was bad enough, especially if backlash would be irrelevant as they still can suck money out of Minecraft Realms that people use in java edition as well as new copies that people buy instead of bedrock edition. Microsoft is a company looking for money - java edition would be dead if it didn't bring any profit. However I'm confident that it still does, hence why they are keeping it alive. There will be a guaranteed massive backlash however once it dies.

Considering the java version still has an insanely large playerbase, stopping development for it in favor of bedrock version would cause an enormous backlash. I'm not sure how I feel about the news. I guess the time will tell what is going to happen. At the very least they didn't get bought by EA (as if it was going to happen anyway) just in line to be executed few years later.

It's a bit shame to see how everything about this topic turned out. I've been one of GmanLives' subscribers (and ICARUSLIV3S' too if you want to poke me about it) for quite some time and it's a bit sad to see how poorly he decided to handle the situation. I feel like a simple correction video would have been so much better than just deleting the video. (Also that Brutal Doom comment was REALLY weird, caught me instantly when I was watching the original video) That being said, I always felt like GmanLives' weird attitude in videos is just an Australian thing (Any Australian readers, don't kill me). At least every Australian I've met seems to banter a lot more and one of my Australian friends told me that it is not a coincidence. That doesn't excuse GmanLives' behaviour on Twitter (like the response he did to AmethystViper) and I hope he would improve on that regard. ...and Doomkid got a new subscriber too. Good stuff.

Is it just me or is the pain elemental sitting on the toilet completely stuck? It can't seem to move away like in the video but rather keeps spinning on top of the keycard. Tested with GZDoom g4.4.2 and PrBoom 2.5.1.4.

Think in more positive way. Surely Eternal also brought some new friends here that are actually interested in older DOOM games as well.

I've been waiting for this game quite a bit ever since their Kickstarter. Sadly I didn't any cash back then to back it but oh well. Really great game and hopefully it will keep its current playerbase. ...I want my Unreal Tournament 4 back though. Curse you, Epic!

That's quite an achievement.

Does any source port have native support for controllers or do you have to tweak around quite a bit to get them to work? I'm KB+M.

I like to play a lot of different games, so I tend to take a break very often.

I beat DOOM64 a few days ago, a game that pretty much went under my radar for quite some time till I saw it on sale.

I wish that was me.
