What the fuck is this shit and when does it get good?
>>728910823when you get the shotgun
>what the fuckIt's Doom.>is this shitNo.>when does it get goodLike anon said, get the shotgun and start blasting. The pistol is bad so everything else can be more satisfying.
>>728910823It becomes good in the Columbine High School level
>>728910823Couple of seconds ago when you loaded into e1m1
>>728910990I knew video games were to blame for this
>>728910823when you play Half-Life instead
>>728911121Half Life won't come out for another 5 years
I always disliked Doom because I think the keycards are shit game design
When you go dun na dun na dun na dun naaaaaa
>>728910863>>728910953Only the SSG is good, the basic shotgun is severely anti-fun to use.
>>728911970basic shotgun is basically a sniper rifle if you use it right, its range is deceptively far
>>728910863yes, the proper shotgun which xe will not get until the sequeland the actually good maps begin in the second half final doom
>>728911970The only thing bad about the shotgun is that Lost Souls have too much health to be blasted in one shot and that rockets are the only thing good enough against Barons. Its tactile feel is solid and it actually has some decent reach unlike most video game shotguns. A competent weapon that only gets brutally mogged by a sibling that does more than twice the damage in a game where there are far more bulkier enemies than in the original Doom.
>>728910953>>728911970>>728912068>>728912230shotgun is good at mid range but is dangerously unreliable at close range against anything that isnt a zombie or shotgunner. ssg is a 100% consistent 1shot vs chaingunner, pinkie, lost soul, 2shot vs rev, 3shot vs hk, and 4shot vs av, while with shotgun you are flipping a coin against every imp, chaingunner and pinkie with each shot. i remember d2 uv30 wr holder saying something along lines of not enjoying d1 runs because of shotgun rng
>>728910823It's as good as it gets. This is the core of any modern FPS game. It's a pure consetrate of FPS mechanics straight to the vains.Are you not entertained?! Do you need MORE?!Tbh it's a dated shooter game only worth the nostalgia point and would've been forgotten if it wasn't so influencial and easy to run on any modern device with even bare-bones computing ability. Why you still see "Doom running on my smart-fridge" and so on.It's a computer nerd meme.
>>728913318there are definitely situations where it's warranted to ssg everything to death, but when you're trying to conserve ammo, sometimes it's much more beneficial to take the slow and careful method with the base shotgun
>>728910823never, it's an overrated pile of trash, catacomb 3-d was better
>>728913942well youre only conserving ammo against zombies and shotgunners, since anything else you have a chance of lowrolling and requiring same amount or sometimes even more ammo to kill than ssg. for example revenant can take 5 shots with sg, ssg is a 100% 2shot so 1 less. you could be a chad and pull off a 4/256 chance 1shot on a lostsoul to save 1 shell with shotgun.
>>728910823It gets good when you install Brutal Doom and a good wad
