Do some doomers find recording a map to be un-enjoyable since you can't save?

[Stroggman]

I am not having fun recording a map since I can't save so I may stick to video capturing

A bit of an obvious answer to that question? Some people like vanilla, others strawberry.

 

For me it's pretty much whatever, since I tend to play without saves anyway, unless I'm studying/scouting a map. My end goal is (almost) always to beat a map without saves.

I guess to each is own and if I'm finding saveless run to difficult I prolly should move down to hmp from uv dif level

What are you recording for? If it's not for submitting a speedrun to DSDA, then you can use dsda-doom's -dsdademo parameter to record in a format that supports saving, loading, and some cheats. Also, recording single-segment demos doesn't mean you can't practice outside of recording.

[Nefelibeta]

just don't record maps that you don't like.

I used to record everything because went through a "play everything saveless" phase, so one might as well record the demo too.  This also meant a lot of things were a grindy drag, so I play most stuff without recording now... but it depends on the mood, and having a demo to pass along to the mapper is sometimes nice.

I just played through The Shores of Hell in one sitting. Yes, I did feel like crap.

I'm recording to prove to doomers that I can beat a map, but yes what I'm not doing correctly when recording is I'm not speed running, I think I will stick to casual save scuming doom play and have fun!

Currently I mainly do Duke 3D videos on Damn I’m Good difficulty and play saveless/deathless for the viewers (and mappers) benefit to see their map played in a seamless manner, and I enjoy the end result because I can look back and remember the effort I took to make it happen.
 

That’s just my personal preference for my channel.

 

Plenty of people save and reload in their videos and people still watch; so just do what you prefer that is fun for you to do and your audience will come around.

This pretty much sums up my response. 

 

Some people just have grown into the habit of playing through maps without saving. In my particular case i tend to record demos when speedrunning a map or when i’m making commentary content. Really it’s all down to preference.

If it's of a shorter variety, I'm at a point where in most maps I can go around 15 minutes without starting over being a big deal. Past that....it's probably a map best savored so no demoing for that!
