What are you playing now?

[Hawk of The Crystals]

During my hiatus from the forum, I went back and started to play TNT Evilution. It's not exactly my favorite when it comes down to Final Doom, but I was just in the mood for it.

 

I'm currently on The River Styx, or whatever it's name is - I kinda forgot the names of TNT's maps.

Currently playing Doom II with Smooth Doom!

[Naarok0fkor]

Doom.wad with BD black edition & lots of mods...

[Lizardcommando]

I am replaying Revolution! on GZDoom and Anomaly Report on the Nintendo Switch.

[heliumlamb]

i have finally come around to trying scythe as of last night, first episode down. so far every map's pacing just feels incredibly slick and quick, a significant but welcome change from my preferred pace. i added the vanilla smooth weapons (vsmooth2) around like map04 which just makes it feel even more slick.

 

[joepallai]

Started playing Silence last night and it is really enjoyable so far.   

[out_of_service]

Currently playing Brotherhood of Ruin! Really enjoying this one.

[Thelokk]

The Master Levels, last time I played them was like... I dunno, 1998 or something?

[Shanoa]

Going through more of @myolden's fantastic Nostalgia megawad and a bit of BTSX Episode 1 too. All this dooming lately really make me feel like my gameplay improved, which i'm super happy about.

Just started revisiting PSX DOOM CE! Absolutely fantastic. Gonna be sinking a lot of time into this one.

I finished Ancient Aliens last night. By the end, I really felt my lack of skill: I saved before every major encounter and moved on once I'd gotten past it, which is a perfectly fine way to play, but not a good way to improve, and I beat Floating Arena thanks to a scripting bug. Sometimes the finale's supporting complement of monsters would teleport to their marks, and sometimes they wouldn't, and I got an exit when they didn't. Fortunately, it's a megawad I definitely want to play again sometime. I enjoyed the mellow, surreal-sunset look and sound of the last few maps.

 

I think my next game will be The Plutonia Experiment, which should help me practice fundamentals a little better.

used "vibe" instead of "look and sound" when those last maps are pretty hectic

[Womp the Cat]

Combat Shock 2. Beat the first two maps this eve. map02 was an absolute riot. 

[Goody]

I just finished up Revolution! on Switch, which was really excellent. Now I'm gonna play TNT on there, and Plutonia + the MIDI pack on PC. Let's see how doing these pairings on PC and Switch will work out for me.

[bulldawg8879]

currently playing Eviternity for the first time.. Im really liking it except for the snow lvls for some reason doom got a lil choppy on those to

[SharkyChip]

There's a few WADs I'm aiming to complete as of now, but I'm I'm mainly focusing on Deathless and Auger Zenith. I was doing Sunlust but decided to take a break from it because it's starting to feel like it's out of my skill level (I'm on MAP18 playing from pistol start with 2 saves per level at most)

[out_of_service]

Currently playing Voxel Doom! Really neat.

[Garlichead]

Finishing the last two maps of njay doom, and about to start Infinity (Serenity 3) next.

How do you feel about the controls? It is very hard for me play with a controller instead of a mouse. When I play on the switch I need to lower the difficulty to hmp even on maps that I can beat on uv on pc.

I'm in the same boat. Playing Doom 64 on the Switch via TV mode was fine, felt very natural due to its less intense pace. Playing any other WAD via handheld mode and my brain just nopes out at the tank controls.

 

I guess I just have to put in the hours to accustom to the control scheme, but it feels like I'm hardwired to play Doom with mouse/keyboard at this point (which is kind of funny, because SNES Doom was my first experience with the series).

Yeah, it takes a lot of getting used to. It's not as bad for me as other FPS games since there's no z-axis, but dual sticks in general is still unintuitive. It's really hard to not rely on the bad habit of strafing a bit instead of adjusting just my aim. I end up running into a lot of imp fireballs that way. 

[RoastDoom]

Doom 2 In Spain Only, just walked in to that crusher on Map 9, gutted!

[Anarkzie]

At the risk of admitting to being a basic bitch, I'm playing the latest official Unity addon "Revolution". For a wad that was made 21 years ago, I feel really modern.

[Captain POLAND]

Just finished Plutonia 2 and started Rush.

 

 

[Rymante]

Finally making my way through the classic Scythe 2 for the first time!  Just made it to the 5th episode.  Been having a blast with it!  ^_^

[galileo31dos01]

Czechbox by various members from Czech Republic, currently on map 21. I'm enjoying it so far, short-medium term maps, no stress, very accessible for a couple hours or three of dooming. 

[VoanHead]

Gonna be playing through Super MAYhem 2017! Mario Bros X DOOM make an odd couple, but the texture work and funny little sprite replacements to match the theme is hella cute. Not only that, since I recently cleared out Sonic Mania’s Encore Mode (those emerald special zones were a bitch to  do, but really fun once you got it down) I’m also gonna give Sonic Robo Blast 2 a try after sleeping on it for so long. Hopefully, getting the emeralds on my first run shouldn’t be too hard!

[Rrev]

I'm currently completing one of my favorite wad "going down" again for the fifth time, and sometimes I play the IWAD TNT evilution

[Herr Dethnout]

Replaying E1M8 for the 800th time

I'm currently playing GD too, but I'm stuck on that evil mfing trap on Map 09 "Broken Records", so i rage quit and started Scythe 2. Really enjoying Scythe 2 so I think I might finish this before going back to GD, though I've really enjoyed GD too so far. I've just got my ass handed to me so many times on that level that I got bored lol. 

 

I'm also nearly done with BTSX episode 1, which has been a slog, albeit an extremely enjoyable one. It's so well stylized that I would probably enjoy running through the levels even without demons present. I have lots going on right now lol, I just can't only play one wad start to finish without starting another.

[Rrev]

Yeah, Something that going down has is that the more you advance the more difficult it gets, but I feel that it is a little easier compared to sunder 2406, and now that you are talking about scythe 2 I have heard of it but I have not had the opportunity to try ,it I think that within I'm going to play it soon.

 

Going back to the topic of Wad Goind Down, I feel that it is a particularly difficult wad since I had to kick my ass off to pass it the first time... even in some levels it was so difficult that it took a few hours to complete them.
