whybmonotacrab Posted June 3, 2024 Simple question. -You get one fav for each year and one runner up. -Generally, go based on the year it was would have received a Cacoward. For example: Eviternity came out 2018 but was too late for that years cacowards so it's a 2019 release. -Spoiler your list so this thread isn't a nightmare to navigate. For me, I first got into playing through Brutal Doom in 2012 but didn't start playing megawads until 2018. Still, I'm going with the 2012 date as it gives me more to work with, so my list would like this: Spoiler 2012 Base Ganymede Combat Shock 2 2013 Swim With the Whales Back to Saturn X: Episode 1 2014 Going Down Resurgence 2015 Sunlust Valiant 2016 Ancient Aliens Nihility: Infinite Teeth 2017 Stardate 20X7 Legacy of Heroes 2018 Magnolia Ashes 2063: Episode 1 2019 Eviternity Paradise 2020 Antaresian Reliquary Running Late 2 2021 (Jesus Christ this year was hard) Heartland Fractured Worlds 2022 Overboard Nostalgia 2023 Head Trauma Fallen Leaves 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

brick Posted June 3, 2024 This took me a while. Spoiler 1994 Doomsday of UAC Wasteland series 1995 Mines of Titan The Inner Circle 1996 The Secret Path Icarus 1997 Eternal Doom Kansam's Trial 1998 Cyberdreams Alpha 1 Trilogy 1999 Demonfear Batman Doom 2000 Pleiades Atomic Tomb 2001 Revolution Null Space 2002 Caverns of Darkness 2002 A Doom Odyssey 2003 Void Daedalus 2004 Deus Vult Phobos Revisited 2005 Suspended in Dusk Operation: Arctic Wolf 2006 Phobia - The Age The Singularity Complex 2007 Back to Basics Genesis of Descent 2008 Eternal Doom IV Cold as Hell 2010 Curse of D'sparil Valhalla 2011 Double Impact The Phobos Directive 2012 Masters of Chaos Winter's Fury 2013 Kuchitsu Stomper 2014 Plasmaplant Mayan Mishap 2015 Elf Gets Pissed Monument 2016 Tech Gone Bad Echelon 2017 Saturnine Chapel The Given 2018 Umbra of Fate Ashes 2063 2019 Sigil Wormwood 2020 Quest for the Crytal Skulls Akeldama 2021 Carnage Galore III Arrival 2022 Jamal Jones Trilogy The Thing you can't defeat 2023 Ad Mortem Octate Some of these choices will probably raise a few eyebrows. It makes me realize the number of wads I played each year is very variable, in some the choice was so easy because I've played so few in the first place. 2020 and 2021 were probably the hardest because there were so many good things in both years, and so many wads that appeal directly to my tastes. I changed the 2020 lineup half a dozen times, and I'm still not happy with it. 2021 first pick was the first one I made for the whole list (technically CG3 is still unfinished, but that was the year of the latest big content update) and then I spent forever making up my mind for the runner-up. I've played almost nothing from this year, I guess this will eventually change. I hesitated about including IWADs then decided for full PWAD selection (Romero ended up on the list twice anyway...). I'm happy how many times Heretic shows up, even Hexen is represented. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

No eyebrows raised here. I made this post with the hopes there'd be some less popular picks as you get an idea of someone's taste better than just seeing the same popular wads. Also it's awesome you managed to get some Heretic on there. Every time there was an awesome Heretic wad there was one Doom wads just above it for me. If I let myself have two runners up there'd be a lot more Heretic lol. Edited June 3, 2024 by whybmonotacrab 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Celestin Posted June 7, 2024 Interesting idea for a topic, especially since I've joined when the community's output went through the roof. 2020: Running Late 2 for the first place. I think I'll go with Rowdy Rudy II, I was also thinking about Akeldama, but I've played it a long time ago and don't remember much. 2021: PUSS IX: Mapping at Warpspeed is an easy winner, but there was so many great wads released that year I could list 5 runner-ups. I'll go with Auger;Zenith, but Skulltiverse, Heartland and Cydonia were also strong contenders, this was a great year for mapping. 2022: PRCP 2 was my favourite from that year, followed closely by The 10x10 Project. 2023: To be honest, I haven't played much from that year, as I was more focused on catching up with older releases. Tetanus wins by default, followed by Ichinichi. This is likely a subject to change as I get around to play more recent releases. 2024: Can I count Eviternity II when it hasn't had a final release yet? Second place goes to 0x0. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
