Thoughts on the DOOM series

Not using SR40/SR50, smh

Straferunning

Straferunning is running forward and moving sideways (strafing) at the same time, which results in moving faster than is possible in either direction alone. One of the advantages is being able to jump farther than is otherwise possible. There are two straferunning speeds: SR40 and SR50. The 40...

I like Doom, but I feel like the current reboots have attracted a lot of annoying zoomers and people who would've never otherwise played a "boomer shooter". Other than that I'm fine with Doom 2016 and Eternal.

Still waiting for a proper Quake sequel that isn't fucking Strogg, but until the next time the universe rips itself apart and the big bang starts again I guess.

Doom 2016 is also fun and you have to be a grumpy boomer to deny it. Didn't play doom eternal yet

Just finished it and it was a blast. But every single time I was getting hyped about shooting shit up the enemies ran out.

It's nothing like the original games so the comparison between is pointless. Now if there were slaughter maps or an official map pack like Plutonia for it, I'd give it a new spin.

If your game can't be played on my calculator I will simply not bother playing it.

Can we just make this into a .wad recommendation thread? Managed to beat this (mayhem16.wad) and almost every single map took numerous tries, lots of creative gimmicks here, especially the last map.

That soundtrack was the bomb too, really vibing tracks.

Some good wads I'd recommend playing:

Zone 400, really bland at first. The maps are small and get really challenging after a few, completely original music but sometimes the score is really unfitting.

Resurgence, from the creator of Speed of Doom wad, which means progressively longer and more difficult maps.

Abandon, takes the mantle as one of the most visually impressive and impossibly difficult wads. I barely managed to beat the first one without saves, but it seems nobody has beaten any of the other ones from start to finish.

Slaughterfest 2011 and especially 2012 have some quality maps in them, but a lot of garbage, especially the latter half. MAP17 by Ribbiks from SF2012 has to be the most memorable of them all. It's doable but will definitely challenge anyone.
