Have i "Technically" Beaten Doom?

You've only truly beaten doom if you play through it on a pregnancy test.

Well im really new to doom so i just ignore secret levels (i only found a secret level in Episode 1.)

Episode 2's secret exit in E2M5 is really easy to find, E3M6 however requires either a rocket jump to propel you or precise SR50.

No, you're only truly beaten Doom if you've played it on a couple thousand potatoes powering a pregnancy test!

Personally I prefer mine powered by crabs, but to each Doomer their own.

No one's truly beaten Doom as a whole until they've killed John Romero.

Oh dear...

E3M6's secret exit doesn't require a precise SR50, a sloppy SR40 is enough.

Hello! im pretty new to doom and i wanted to play the game and beat it, this goal is finished (sorta) i played for days till this very day where i beat episode three, BUT, have i technically beaten doom? since thy flesh consumed exists, tell me your opinion.

 

No you have not, and you should hang your head in shame, log out of this site and not return until you have.

 

Slightly more seriously, I do not understand the question. There are four episodes in the game as you have it so obviously no, you have not. Practice and get better, or drop the difficulty. Simple.

[Nikku4211]

You beat Doom.

 

The answer would only be 'no' if you asked if you have 'technically' beaten the Ultimate Doom, but no, you beat regular registered Doom.

 

There's a difference between 100%ing a game and beating it.

 

Doom isn't a collect-a-thon is it?

[Sarmenti]

Asking if you've beaten doom is a bit of a silly question, way I see it if you got to the end of the episode you've beaten it. Doesn't matter if it was on ITYTD single segment with saves, still counts!

[Egg Boy]

We can never truly "beat Doom." To beat Doom would be to experience all it has to offer. The breadth of content produced within the game is staggering enough to be incompletable within your life's allotted time. And then there is everything Doom has wrought. Have you truly beaten Doom if you haven't beaten Quake? Halo? Call of Duty? The answer is... maybe, idk I think I stole this from the Action Button video.

I saw that review too. :)

[Frost-Core]

I probably beat doom so hard its bleeding.

[Cruduxy Pegg]

No you can only beat the game by defeating John Romero in deathmatch. 

[BigBoy91]

You beat Doom, but not Ultimate Doom. Next question.

No you can only beat the game by defeating John Romero in a HERETIC DEATHMATCH!

In E1M3 there are linedefs in the first room (with the barrel in the centre).  You must run and get to the back before the wall goes up again, in there is a switch which will raise a bridge in the starting chamber, which will lead to a secret exit.

i think i found Episode 2's secret, i remember going there but then the barons killed me so i loaded back a save and then yeah, i forgot about it, E2M9 is also bad.

[Sleep Deprivation]

You haven't completed DOOM until you've played DOOM64 on original hardware in one sitting.

[ImproversGaming]

Not that my opinion carries much validation for you but I considered you to have completed Doom - well done!

 

In terms of Episode 4 (Ultimate Doom) I recommend that you stick with it and work your way through anyway. As others have said feel free to use saves or reduce the difficulty level to ease the burden - this is why they are there, to allow customisation to the player. If it helps I find that Maps get a lot easier once you play them a few times - when you figure out where the good weapons are and figure out where the enemies come from. Good luck if you take it on.

[Gez]

You've only beaten Doom once you have completed all maps from Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, the Master Levels...

... and Maximum Doom.

[zxd]

Yes you've beaten doom. 
Btw there is no shame by playing on HMP... Just have fun the way you want.

Nope, you've only truly beaten Doom if you played it on Nightmare meanwhile a hamster is powering your computer and you need to feed him every five seconds!

I guess this joke is going to get boring soon :/

You haven't beaten Doom, you need to get an original physical copy of Doom with the box and all of its contents in mint condition, then get a spiked brass knuckle and punch it. That's the proper way to beat Doom.

simillar to my "I probably beat doom so hard its bleeding"

[Scrabbs]

Pretty much, episode 4 and 5 came later and are WAY worse than the original 3 episodes. At least you can say you played the best parts of doom I

???????????????????

 

Episode 4 is held in high regard for the most part. Perfect Hatred and Against Thee Wickedly are amazing maps. And the worst you can say about Sigil is that its polarizing. Besides that, its not even official.

[Wyrmwood]

The start half of doom2 is much easier than ep4 so if your just learning I'd move straight to that if your struggling with ep4. Like others have said only a few maps are pretty tricky on it though, you'll come back one day and wonder why you thought it was hard.
