Yeah, I found Final Doom as a whole to be underwhelming and excessively difficult if I remember correctly.

And in my draft im linking back to this thread (And you are in it aswell) :)

In the process of finishing my thread, ill post it in hangouts. Do i need to ''claim'' them? I remember in the beginning you had to claim your OT before you made it but i cant find that darn thread anymore.
Also Raptomex your thread definitely needs a mention here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/community-ot-list.3560/

I think you may have to claim it. Not sure. I created this when the transition was still happening. I requested it in the OT List. SweetNicole hasn't updated it since Nov 4 so I'm guessing quite a few have not been added. I linked to your thread, along with providing credit to you and Pasokon Deacon in the OP.

Problem is that i dont know where the claim thread is :/ Thank you for the credit mentions!

I have the same problem. I have no idea where it went to. I tried checking the FAQ to see if it links to it which it doesn't, last time I checked. I found theOT threadfor EtcetEra. I think it's exclusive to that category but maybe I'm wrong.
EDIT: I think I found it. A search led me tothis thread.
EDIT 2: Looks like it was closed and merged with the OT I linked above.Source post.
I guess its not important anymore then :/ Thank you either way! :)
How do you add threads to your watched list without posting?
Also, thanks for making this thread.

To the right there is a button called ''Watch thread'' Open it, and you will be presented with a menu to have mail notifications or not.
I hope thats what you were asking? XD
One of my favorite games.
The modding community is crazy though. Easily 100s of hours added through the content they've brought to table

Not yet but it looks really damn fun in co-op.
So lately i've been going through an oldie, Community Chest 2. Not too bad~
OP
OP
I love the community chests. Haven't beaten one, though. I think one of them has a midi version of a Airbourne song or I'm thinking of another wad entirely.

The first CC wad is a bit annoying, there's a map later, i think its map 27 or 28 it has like over a thousand monsters but the progression in it is extremely cryptic and tedious, like you'd have to play it for yourself to understand what i mean, it's not a fun map. Of course, i won't speak ill of the map too much, it's mapper passed away years ago.

Counterattack by Mechadon is fantastic. It's a 7 level Wad with huge interconnecting levels. Map 5 is a slaughter map (It's good though!) but the rest are pretty intricate and multi-faceted. It's really crazy just how much the level ends up looping back in on itself. I'd easily put this up there with Ancient Aliens, Scythe 2, or Alien Vendetta. It's real good. I wish it was a full 32 levels though!

I don't think I played the first. I remember scrounging the internet to find some of them and never found the first. Is it in the wad database?
https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/cchest it's not bad, some maps are hit and miss but yeah, still worth a play.
Kylac yeah mechadon always deliver quality maps i remember trying it but i never finished it, i oughta replay it soon.
How would the community feel if id released their own source port for classic Doom with mod browsing a la DOOM 2016?
Personally, I think it could greatly increase accessibility of the modding community.

Very true. That also requires browsing the web and looking on forums to find - not something that everyone wants to do. Steam Workshop implementation could be a godsend.
A big nasty bump for the impending release of Golden Souls 2, with a distinctive Switch feature :) Ill make a seperate thread for this also as its just too good (And because we need more attention for this stuff!)
OP

Its because it is. I even had a seperate thread for it made ;) https://www.resetera.com/threads/do...oes-golden-souls-direct-nintendo-style.46776/
Finally got back into the groove after a summer full of dungeon-crawlers and Civilization. I'm gonna complete Jenesis and try out some big new releases. Maybe I'll get into mapping next year if Joy of Mapping has a summer session.
I have so much to catch up on...and I'd love to try my hand at mapping once more.
Just gotta sit down and do it. ._.
OP

Jenesis is one of the greatest megawads I have ever played. Easily one of my top 10 megawads.
It's bizarre to look at, but the work put into it fascinates me.
There's some good new stuff coming out in the mod community. Some long-time mappers are back in action, either doing new WADs (Doom 404) or putting our new definitive resource packs for modders. And because we apparently need it, mappers are making a whole megawad solely from Icon of Sin fights. That's nuts.

You've heard of Smooth Doom on GZDoom. Now, get ready for...
Smooth Doom's weapons on Chocolate Doom! I have to try this out at some point.
I thought this was worth posting here:
Revenant Bus: A WAD for DOOM 2.
This MOD was inspired by Desert Bus, that was part of an unreleased Pen and Teller game for the Sega/ Mega CD. In this mod, you are the BusSlayer, and you have to drive a bus for 24 hours from the pits of hell to limbo. While driving, Revenants will teleport at the back of the bus every 7 seconds and you have to fight them with your bare fists while driving.

Finally finished up Eviternity and it's an absolute classic. It's easily skyrocketed as one of my favorite wads of all time. Maps 10, 11, 19, 24, and 32 were particular standouts for me. The new enemies in the Green Demon and Astral Cacodemon were really great. It spiced things up just enough where I would get caught off guard by a monster closet even if I knew one had to be coming up. Dragonfly did great work as well as all the other legendary contributers such as Skillsaw, Jimmy, Mechadon, and Afterglow. And a few I'm forgetting. Sorry!
I know this thread isn't particularly active and there's not much of a Doom community here but I highly, highly recommend it. I think my one complaint would be the levels might be a bit on the long side. Although I say that as 19 and 32 are huge maps that I thoroughly enjoy. Sometimes you just want something short and sweet though.
Anyone else play anything of note recently? I'm always looking for something I might have overlooked.

This looks phenomenal, I haven't DOOM'd in several months so I gotta catch up.
After loving DooM for the Atari Jaguar I finally received DooM II for the Atari Jaguar. DooM II for the Jaguar is based on the DooM I engine but has DooM II levels. It's quite unique.
Ps: DooM for the Jaguar is the base engine for most modern consoleports. It's made by Id.

Yeah my Doom interests comes and goes. I usually play in December and January since the Cacowards are a great time to catch up but in Feb and March I haven't played as much. April's got John Romero's SIGIL so I'll probably play that and a few other things.
Eviternity is great though. I played release candidate 1 and now it's in the final release so it should even better.
Doesn't that also have Doom 2 only monsters in Doom 1 levels? Or am I mistaken?
That was the Playstation version. It was a really cool feature for that port. You could also use a cheat code to use the Super Shotgun in DOOM 1.
Fun Fact: My first experience of Doom was the PS1 game, in 1996. I later played the PC version of Doom 2...and discovered, to my horror, what an Arch-Vile was.
