oh and there's no chainsaw. so don't use fists. and you can't jump on enemy heads ;;

if there's one complaint about Doom the Golden Souls it's that the only weapons of any use are the cannon and the ak. The spike gun which replaces the plasma gun is absolutely useless except as a way of rebounding shots (and it's just the nailgun from quake only worse) and does less damage than the AK, and the BFG replacement is apparently some kind of ... railgun? No idea how good that is but it's a single target weapon as opposed to like... wipe out everything weapon.

@Noelle808

can't forget the other great characters;
Nigel (also known as Reg the Unlucky because of his fascination with the number 13)
Cedric who flies a plane called the Lowgust
Cat Vader
Yvonne the martial artist
and Vinny from Vinesauce though gosh you gotta go through a lot to find him

and of course the main villain Seth Rogan

aw nice there's a piano in the ghost house area of Golden Souls that lets you play one of the classic Doom themes lol

@007@mastodon.xyz what's he doing in there he should fucking be out catching pokemon not living in a tomato

I gotta say, Brutal Doom is a heck of a thing and really fun and interesting and REALLY changes up the Doom gameplay to be more tactical and fun (if more challenging), but ... there's something really nice about playing Doom in a Super Mario 64 themed world where you gotta explore and find coins and platform a lot and... aaaa.

It's a little barebones in the first one, but apparently the second is even better. Can't wait :D

Mornin, I'm up early because I forgot to take the recycling bin out to the road last night for bin collection, but I remembered just before I actually passed out for sleep so set an early alarm and actually got up and did it so yay me

time to play Doom : The Golden Souls because heck yeah mario style platforming in FPS Doom engine

@PsyChuan@snouts.online @owashii@snouts.online FINALLY someone put it into words holy shit

@LANthus I just looked up Betray as well and oh my fuck it's even worse than Hexsoil holy shit lol

not only is the parody actually still a shitty map just like Betray that jumps you into a MASSIVE end game difficulty spike before you've got any decent weapons if you find it legit, but it's also still actually a better map than the thing it's parodying ahhahaha

so I decided to stop playing serious dooms, and started playing some more silly ones.

And some more awesome ones

Like... the Castlevania mod for doom which is just... absolutely bloody spectacular oh my GOD. Not even kidding, if you got GZDoom go get yourself castlevania simon's destiny it's... it's really excellent.

also Golden Souls 1 is so far really fun and amazing and charming. Looking forward to the Woolball games too!

@LANthus lol though Betray wasn't actually made by iD if I recall it was made by some guy from Vicarious Visions who worked on the doom 3 ports.

@LANthus I actually finally do get it lol. The more I play of Hexsoil the more I realise how it's a parody and... I hate it, I hate this level so much because it's so awful but daaang I'm giggling at just how it's like "lol fuck Betray it's a shit map let's make a really shit map and just shoehorn it in there as a super secret that you've almost no chance of finding"

hell it even fuckin' CRASHES THE GAME on certain sourceports.

@LANthus Probably yeah. I also take it back, Hexsoil isn't a good map it's fuckin garbage XD huge open areas with ugly textures that do not at all make sense, corridoors you have to navigate full of enemies, barely any ammo, just... fucking enemies everywhere with nowhere to hide and really goddamn big as well. ugh. XD

why and how is Hexsoil a parody of Betray?? ... I'm talking about Doom 2 The Way id Did of course, and how the easter egg map Hexsoil is apparently a parody of the Xbox original bonus map of Betray from its Doom 2 port.

...

I mean, looking at the map of Hexsoil, it looks pretty regular. Betray looks... ....

...well it looks like something I would have created in the original doom level editor.

...apparently also there's a name for this style of map: 1994 map.

@owashii@snouts.online (which of course lessens the chance of sheep suffering from injury due to trampling as they try and flee or getting distressed and even MORE nervous and miscarrying and such, and it's just... super nice that the alpaca just... take no shit and protect their smol friembs. and the sheep are just like "holy shit these tall sheep are BADASS, I feel so safe!")
