I beat the first episode and the first map of the second on UV Single Segment. I didn't think much of it. The hitscan arachnotrons are annoying, the flame shooting enemies take too long to kill because the flames persist on the screen too long, the grey flying guys are good, the blood orb exploding guys are fine I guess but don't add much, the plasma marine is fine-ish. A lot of the levels have way too many secrets. Idk it's fine, much, much worse than something like Going Down, Scythe 2, Ancient Aliens and other top tier community wads. Didn't really feel worthy of being an iwad imo.

Will do, I need to look up how to do it. This is the first demo I've submitted, although I've recorded a lot. Most I just upload to youtube. Thanks, I think I got it now.

Scythe 2 Map 23 and 29, poison ivy II from SoD, Ticket to Eternity and Fire and Ice a long time ago. Ended up beating all these, but they were all memorable struggles.

Is that why you made an account to post?

As someone who has been on internet forums for 23 years now, internet discussion has always been blighted by unfunny, socially awkward people DESPERATELY trying to be funny. It's super cringe and obnoxious imo. It just seems like they desperately need people to like them and are more interested in drawing attention to themselves than discussing the topic. These people don't care about Doom, they are just using it as a vehicle to find people to validate them. It's not something you can fix though, the people who are legitimately interested in discussing stuff in depth will always be a minority.

I would say that Going Down IS slaughter because of monster density. There are tons of monsters for how small and cramped the areas are and you are almost constantly in danger. I found Going Down really difficult at first because its combat style was different than other stuff I'd played, but by map 15 or so I had gotten used to it and it felt much easier than something like SoD which I finished first. Nothing in GD is nearly as hard as Poison Ivy II or some of the other Joshy maps towards the end. Going Down is hard but it's also really good at teaching you how to play Going Down, if that makes sense.

It didn't ruin the megawad but map 23 and 31 of Ancient Aliens are of lesser quality than the rest imo. Same thing with these: Run From It in Scythe. Misri Halek in Alien Vendetta.

I don't like it. It emphasizes the mazey exploration parts of Doom and has dull combat, so it isn't to my taste. It also doesn't have the chaingunner, revenant and archvile which are some of the best monsters. So yeah, in my opinion it sucks ass.

I'd put it below Valiant/Ancient Aliens but above Speed of Doom and Scythe 2. I beat all those saveless on UV. Note that I did not finish Hell Revealed or Alien Vendetta on UV but that's because of not enjoying those WADs not the difficulty.

This was intended to mean play them on UV, pistol start, saveless.

I've never seen or played any thing from the 90s that I thought was good other than Plutonia. You can have a different opinion, but that's my experience. IMO the first actually good megawad that you don't need to make excuses for, excluding Plutonia, is Scythe 2.

It legit sucks like most 90s wads.

Plutonia, if you haven't played it already. Plutonia 2, Going Down, Scythe, Speed of Doom, Ancient Aliens, Valiant. Scythe 2 is on the harder side though.

I have some bad news for you.
