Why do a ton of older megawads always have slaughter maps occupying the map32 slot?

I play on Ultra Violence because it suits my skill best. I don't complain about hard maps, I just find some that are unnecessarily difficult.

 

Can we just header every 'I hate slaughter thread' with this and be done with it. Thanks.

The issue is...

The issue is that you fold, and claim to be getting punished, when the mapper calls your bluff: "Got this far, huh? Try this!". The challenge is the reward, for me.

don't place in 30 different archviles near each other.

Is 29 ok? Do you have a list? 30 per sector? Per room? Per level? Per WAD? You know map 32 is optional, right?

Don't. I now have a nice list of awesome megawads to play :) Thanks!

Don't feel awful. I really appreciate the list, and can I get some hints about how to train my memory :D

You should, because you missed "Dimensions of Time"! :)

 

Obviously, I kid.  Even though you did miss DOT, this is a handy list.

Awwwww maaaaaaan. DW Slaughterfight 2018 is over... I shouldn't have made so much popcorn.

30 different archviles near each other. This happens to be a issue mostly with Scythe,

 

There goes my break. I wanna ask you something. 

 

Where EXACTLY did you see 30 arch-viles next to each other in Scythe? I've seen this nowhere. True, they feel a lot, but isn't that just because they have a full screen attack? Maybe there are in Scythe 2, but 30 next to each other... I think you're now exaggerating.

Someone mark this post as best answer??? I surely would love to.

Let me define myself, because finally after two weeks I came to realize I've expressed myself wrong. I shouldn't have said "unnecessarily difficult." I should have just said that I don't have fun beating them. Not that I can't. Well, maybe can't from pistol start, but if I have gone through the wad and reached the map, I usually find a way to beat it on UV one way or another. That's how I play the game - one way or another I'm gonna beat the level. And no, no using of any sorts of cheats (except IDDT, but I do it only when I'm at the end of the map, I hear no monsters and wanna know if I've killed everything. Or if I wanna make sure the monster is a lost soul stuck outside of the map.) I use save states, but no cheats. So far, after today, there has been no single map I have played on UV and I haven't beaten. Regardless the difficulty I've rated. Eternal Doom is the farthest I've gone so far. 

I just hate testing my skill for nothing. But sometimes I do it. Because I find a purpose to test my skill. My goal now is to see how far I can get in Alien Vendetta on UV. (Will be a real nose rubber when I get to the end, right?) I'm planning to do this for four years and never get to start it.

Oh my fucking god, let's not start this shit again, it just got quiet.

Some people like slaughter maps.

Some people don't like slaughter maps.

I'm in the latter camp, frankly.

But people are allowed to like what they want and no one has any right to tell them otherwise.

The question was why it seemed like so many megawads had slaughter maps in MAP32. I think that question's been answered, so can we leave this thread alone?

[leodoom85]

This needs to stop. Besides, there were multiple threads of this same topic, leading to lock thread or deletion.

Can we just get a move on please???

[spd7693]

Of course. I think we all clarified ourselves. However, let's no longer start threads like these, because I think the same s*** will be said everywhere.
