@Clippy I’ve been watching your Sigil vids. My God man, why are you struggling so much? Things weren’t so bad for the first 4 levels but then once you hit “Aladdin’s” Void everything went to shit for you, and then got even worse for E5M6.

Couple of pointers:
1. The two Cyberdemons on E5M5 can both be telefragged. Earlier on in your play through you commented on the pillar nearby one of them but somehow you never noticed that later on the pillar had been lowered to reveal a teleported. There’s another one by the other Cyberdemon. Time it right to teleport into the Cyberdemons

2. You struggled with the darkness a lot on E5M6 and you’ll run into the same problem on E5M8. You’re playing on a source port like GZDoom or something, right? What you need to do is go to options and change your renderer, otherwise you can’t see shit. You need to set it to software mode.

3. when you were flying around E5M6 with no clip mode on you came upon a room that you speculated was a room where monsters teleport out of. That room is actually the entrance to the secret level - you’ll note it has one of those Baphomet wall textures that are the exit for each level lying on the ground. I’m surprised it didn’t show up as a secret too, as it’s probably the hardest secret to find in the game. From that elevated cage that had the Baron if you look around you’ll see just the slightest sliver of one of those green eyes that you can shoot that itself is almost completely hidden by a wall.

P.S. I laughed really hard during E5M4 in the crushing room when you stopped for a second to look at some weird red light texture and you asked “is that a paper clip??”

P.PS. What the hell were those orange cacodemons you summoned to cheat against the Cyberdemon?

Thanks for the tips friend

I don't know what's going on with me and sigil maybe I'm just not that into it

But I'm basically exploring it for the first time ever

if they played these levels of bunch should probably be able to beat them like the others

Those orange cacodemon's are part of a special wad that gave you extra monsters to play with

No I didn't clue and that you could tell a frag the cyber demons

I recorded e 5 m 7 but the audio cut out immediately. Shity

If you watch my Icarus playthrough as I do them in one attempt without dying. But I know those levels very well though

Thanks for the tip on the rendering

surprised you actually watched these long-ass videos where I don't know what I'm doing ha ha

I hear ya it was rough

I'll try to do better in sigils last two levels
 
I know this is for Doom 1 and 2, but I have a question about Doom 3 on Switch.

Ayone know how to zoom in ad out?

Its a creepy game for sure.
 
With all the Eternal hype I've decided to go play the originals again for the first time in more than a decade. I'm running GZDoom with DHTP Alterations and IDKFA soundtrack. It looks and plays great. I had forgotten how fun these games could be. I've made my way through EP1-3 and about half of D2 so far (playing on difficulty 2 first time through). I tried E4 and goddamn that's a step up in difficulty. I managed to make it to E4M6 and got stuck. When I looked up a walkthrough video: holy shit, what a terribly designed level. That's basically impossible to beat on a first-try-blind playthrough. Utter garbage.

I've also been trying out Brutal Doom. My impressions are that I like a lot of it (chainsaw is so fun) but even on medium difficulty I think it's easier than vanilla except for the bosses, which seem way harder. I haven't been able to beat the Cyberdemon yet, he keeps blasting a new hole in my ass with rockets. In vanilla I just strafed him with the plasma rifle and GG.

E4m6 is a bitch for sure ha ha

Sharp learning curve

Sigil even worse

Levels that require a lot of study aren't as fun for me
 
You guys really need to play Brutal Doom. And I mean for Doom, Doom 2 and especially Doom 64. It's unbelievable

What do you mean zoom in and out? Do you mean aiming down the sites? Because there isn’t any in Doom 3.
 
I've gotten to the Hell section of Doom 2, and I've got to say that I'm not enjoying D2 nearly as much as D1. A lot of the levels have large open areas that, at least on the lower enemy populations of Diff2, are really lacking in interest. And there's some really awkward level designs: such as having to activate things that have no indication they can be activated, breaking open a door via attack (which had NEVER been done before in any previous D1 or D2 levels), or running off high areas to land on otherwise inaccessible areas. The lack of an "over world" map also makes the levels feel less coherent to me.

I'm also doing a D1 UV run in Brutal Doom, which I'm really enjoying (almost through E2). One thing I've noticed is that the chainsaw is a fantastic way of dealing with heavier enemies if you can clear out any surrounding chaff. Pinkies, Cacodemons, and Barons all get pain-locked and can't counter if you can close in and give them the business. It's also great for pinky hordes if you can get them in a narrow hallway where they can only come at you one-on-one. Rip and tear! One weapon that I've run across in Brutal Doom that I just don't understand is the HMG. It seems like a really unnecessary addition that slots between the combat rifle and minigun.

Yeah, that's what I meant, to aim better. Good to know I didn't miss something you know b/c there are only so many buttons.
 
@Clippy good work on E5M8. You managed to take down the back to back Spider Mastermind and Cyberdemon without using the BFG. I’m impressed.

I guess all you’ve got left is E5M9 which for me was my favourite of the bunch.

depends on my mood, sometimes I love it, sometimes I just want an easy to navigate bloodbath.

trying to remeber which one is e4m6

just looked it up, yeah against the wickedly. That one took some figuring out but not the worst in E4 for sure.

most of E4 is my favorite of all doom episodes.
