What's something about Doom that you absolutely hate?

I cannot imagine what kind of purpose could that possibly serve. There's no competing against the ocean of free fan content that already exists. New levels, new graphics, new gameplay, all of the above. The only thing they're lacking is a ResetPlayerBrain MAPINFO property to let you discover first person shooters for the first time again.

I do not know, it would be cool if Id Software could go back to commissioning IWADs like they did with Final Doom. Or heck, now that they got Doom 64 remastered and re-released, it would be nice if they could try revive the Absolution project that Midway had to scrap in favour of Quake 64. Fan content is nice, but unfortunately, creators are not compensated for their time and efforts.

i didn't know that creators are forced to make wads by blackmailing and execution threats. people, put texture with a smiling face in your wads if you need help!

Lots of commercial games in there.

@Gez @ketmar It feels like the two of you are committed to misunderstanding what I am saying. :(

 

I do not know why you are doing this, but it is quite unpleasant. Please, stop it.

it often happens when something "obvious" is not really obvious at all. that's why i and Gez got completely different understandings, and both our understandings seems to be not what you meant. so now we have at least three undestandings of that sentence, which indicates that it is not so obvious as it may seem. which, in turn, means that to stop misunderstanding you we need the real meaning explained. hope that helps, and now you know why we are doing this.

@ketmar I made it quite clear that I wish Id Software could go back to commissioning Doom IWADs, like an official "Doom III" or even a "Doom 64 II".

 

Of course, you would know that if you had not focused on responding to a single sentence taken out of its context.

so, taking it in context means that if id software will start buying IWADs again, creators of some fan content will be compensated for their time and efforts. which means that currently there is no such compensation at all, because that's how logical thinking works. that is, things like community support and reaction means nothing, because only financial compensation matters. i didn't wanted to imply this, but you made it very clear, and i think that you insulted the whole community with your words.

 

[Rudolph]

@ketmar That is definitely not what I said. You are not acting in good faith. Give it up, already.

idk about you but i'd rather not have corporations directly inserting themselves into our community and fucking over content creators, which is absolutely what would end up happening

load orders for doom mods.

[Deadwing]

Damn, that's an old thread lol

 

As for me, I'll go with red screen after you take full damage. It sucks a lot when you are fighting cyberdemons and/or arch-villes and even when you survive a full damage blast, the screen turns full red and you can't see anything and due to that it's a lot more difficult to dodge incoming damage. Also already mentioned in the thread: safety pin for rockets and bfgs, auto weapon switch on pickup and infinitely tall monsters (this one is easy to get used though)

[TasAcri]

I hate how DOOM 1 has the much better designed maps while only DOOM 2 has the SSG and extra enemies (all very well designed).

[Osmosis Bones]

not a big deal but I don't like how shootable switches can only do two things. I wish shooting a switch could make it do all the things a regular switch could

Why's the dumb negativity thread I made when I just joined hot again after three years.

Bigger bump than what went up my nose five minutes ago, but I agree.

This. Thumbs up for wads that lessen the palette for damage, and I wish I did this in my own wads.

 

Personally, I can't stand how few frames weapon animations have. Don't even remember how I managed to play before smooth weapon mods.

Wait, is it possible to lessen this? Which wads do that? D:

Only two things, I guess: blockmap bug and that sometimes you can skip some line triggers depending on your speed. The first one can be avoided more easily, but the second one feels like absolutely random and pisses me off every single time it occurs.

It requires a custom playpal, I do it all the time when I make vanilla levels (see my map here)

 

e.g. (and this rocket killed me so the damage palette is basically maxed out)

That's fantastic @SilverMiner and @TheHambourgeois!

I'll definitely apply something similar if I try to start a new mapset.

Don't quote me on this, but I think Bourgeois does it as well.

I hate that episode 4 didn’t have a new set of songs by Robert Prince instead of just shuffling the previous episode’s songs. It really deserved its own unique soundtrack. 

[DannyMan]

I hate it when the chainsaw doesn't attract the enemies, but when you make a swing with the fist, it alerts them for some reason.

[Roofi]

I love playing Doom on the original exe but the save game buffer overflow in some custom maps is my worst nightmare. It corrupts your save , prevent you from saving in long and possibily hard maps and above all, it produces a so shrill noise that revenant's scream sound like a sweet melody in compareason. Check at 47:24 in the video for an exemple :
