Celebrating Doom II's 30th Anniversary But If I Die, The Video Ends

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Thank you Doom II for adding the Hell Knight. Barons have too much health.

[@lotharschramm5000]

Lost souls, pain elementals and cacos too

[@Kage999]

1000 health! 😈

[@br0neh]

And thank you Doom II for the super shotgun

[@Vytaan]

Hell Knights are so much better in almost every case. Though it's nice to see designers use barons well nowadays!

[@TheCaptinhazmat]

@@lotharschramm5000 cacos and lost souls existed since doom 1. doom 2 added pain elementals, hell knights, chain gunners, and archviles. also our glorious super shotgun.

[@BigPashPlays]

Oh my days. I imagine Sandy drawing THAT pit in MAP19 and going “surely no one would ever fall in this”. Happy birthday to the SSG and Arch Vile!

[@thedungeondelver]

He'll be on my livestreaming show this October - I'll ask him! :)

[@JustPabloRaez]

The ending is totally unexpected :cacopog:

[@Nob1ej0n]

Ouch! That finale was so sad! And yet, so perfectly edited. 😆 Well done, Vytaan. And sorry D2All didn't work out. 😢

[@southpakrules]

Vytaan, all your videos are special.

[@Vytaan]

Thanks! ❤️

[@makhauser42]

Wait, 30 years? But it was released in the 90s, not the 70s, right, right? Need to lie down, the back hurts and damn kids are so loud! A nice run out there, Thirtaan, regardless of the pits and traps Sandy has mastered

[@Vytaan]

Whoa, thanks so much once again! ❤️ And 30 years ago was definitely the 70s, don't believe anyone who says differently :^)

[@BeersAndBeatsPDX]

I was born in the 80s yet still always think of the 70s as 30 years ago.

[@ShowRyuKen]

As for why you get the SSG so early in Doom 2 (referencing commentary at 03:21), I think the developers wanted to show players a major new development early on and convince them that the game was more than just another bunch of maps for Doom 1. It seems excessive nowadays, but I think they put the super shottie in map 2 so people could fire the gun at a bunch of fodder enemies and see them scatter like chaff in the wind and experience a pleasing "wow" reaction early in their playthrough.

[@feangren]

I think it might be a death pit. Also, happy anniversary Doom II !

[@CacodemonCloud]

Happy birthday Doom 2! Vytaan, man, Idk about anyone else but I am always down for an OG Doom 2 playthrough!

[@lancebaylis3169]

I'll never be less than impressed by Industrial Zone. How John Romero made such an intricate level with so many different layers using the simple Doom editors of the time I can't even imagine.

[@JocantaroVive]

you cant go wrong with a classic run like this

[@St00rt]

"I love Pain Elementals - said no one ever" *MountPain27 has entered the chat

[@Vytaan]

Okay, MtPain27 is an exception 😋

[@Doom_Lara]

Happy birthday Doom2! What a nostalgia trip, ending was such anticlimax though. xD Funny, I didn't even remember there's a pit like that, I guess I never fell into it. I absolutely love your videos, Oversaturation totally glued me to watch more as I've never seen a map like that before.

[@TreuloseTomate]

What an ending!

[@KernelLeak]

Kill issue... :(

[@pcplayers]

Sadly yea even i have always avoided everytime i played trough the map

[@flkfnd]

Have you heard of the Classic Redux mod? It adds around 100+ enemies to each level, and a lot of new areas. Really cool. Happy birthday DOOM II !

[@Vytaan]

I haven't heard of it! Until now :p

[@flkfnd]

@@Vytaan I found it on the KEX mod-loader. I think its called Classic Redux RC2. Currently on Suburbs on U.V. and it has 400 enemies, its really fun. Love the channel BTW, cheers from England!

[@user-yv6xw7ns3o]

@@flkfnd Does it add extra pickups as well to account for ammo shortage etc?

[@flkfnd]

​@@user-yv6xw7ns3oit certainly does. New secrets as well, filled with ammo and health.

[@nikitost0p85]

Happy birthday to Doom 2!

[@samuwen]

I had the exact same hunt for the yellow key on refuelling base and felt like such a dolt.

[@Vytaan]

It happens, especially after playing a bunch of custom maps :D

[@drPeidos]

Great birthday video :)

[@Eeri90]

Ah well. At least it's not Nirvana.

[@Vytaan]

True, expertly avoided playing that map by dying early. 😎

[@victoraraujo5419]

15:00 or so. One thing that TERRIFIED me in Doom 2 was when I inadvertendly walked into the Icon of Sin (idclip on) and saw Romero's head. I was only 11 at the time

[@Vytaan]

Oh no, I can imagine that being horrifying :(

[@nIceViewer]

Suggestion: There's not many playthroughs w/ the multiplayer enemies of DOOM II on KZbin. I always like the SSG early as its the new weapon and the reason you bought the game. The new enemies are fairly well worked in concluding with the Archie in map 11. It's interesting to see the mix and progression as you're trying to develop a game to advance skills from DOOM, teach new enemies, and not be insanely hard (lots of secrets / freebies for most boss enemies - thanks Romero :-p). You wonder if Romero will design levels ever with the SSG?!

[@Vytaan]

Maybe if I get to Doom II with Corruption Cards, I could combine it with multiplayer enemies for some extra chaos...

[@nIceViewer]

@@Vytaan I watched the BMD DOOM II run w/ Corruption Cards so that is a step above his run. BMD though was screwed on 2 cards IMO as he made all cards permanent. They were the werewolves (you had those in Going Down as far as I saw to this point) and the Spirit thing that arises after the 5 faithful were killed. Coin's run had some end of world card that triggered after 1000 kills and had to speed run maps - caused him to refresh the cards / start anew late into the run. Good Luck celebrating :-) I may get to single player multiplayer enemies for a "celebration" 🙂

[@engrpiman]

Let he who has the berserk throw the first punch

[@glaxonberry3667]

Your glee and enthusiasm is infectious. Thanks for the game.

[@appidydafoo]

lol can't believe that ending, dang

[@Toozey]

Played it all again recently aswell with the new port, the new version of the soundtrack is great.

[@joallg]

About the E1M1 switch in the armor room I felt the same. Like...ahh..I hit the wrong switch! what to do... :D

[@adinocc2042]

@1:58:06 the Revenant appearing from behind that wall was my first jump scare in DOOM. It was on the PS1 port. So it was slightly scarier!

[@Vytaan]

Aaaaaa, with those graphics + the soundtrack that makes it even worse yeah :(

[@andynewman1320]

That ended like The Soprano's... just went black.

[@Vytaan]

I was so surprised by the death pit that came out of nowhere, that I didn't even really say anything interesting after I died. I just stopped the recording so I figured I might as well just lean into it and cut the video in a stupid way :^)

[@andynewman1320]

@@Vytaan I thought it was a bit out of character... to me that made it more interesting. Not to be morbid, but I suppose that's how it would end from Doom guy's perspective. I was wondering how the Icon of Sin would go... maybe a future video would be resurrection from that death pit. Excellent content!

[@Hydronisa]

Playing The Pit from Pistol Start, with Boom scripting makes things a little more difficult, as the Elementals will be able to vomit their children to their blackened hearts content

[@Vytaan]

Oh yeah, that makes the map a lot harder!

[@michaeldonoghue9015]

How many monsters do you think you’ve slayed in 30 years?

[@Vytaan]

I think it's probably over half a million. I've uploaded 700+ videos, assuming an average of 200 enemies per map would mean 140k enemies... but then there's all the practice off-screen, slaughtermaps like Oversaturation that already added 50k so far, so over 500k would be my guess :D

[@codypolm7072]

Could you make Ultra Violence+ playthroughs of the Final Doom games?

[@Vytaan]

I've played TNT and Plutonia on regular UV on my channel already, so I'm not sure if another whole series is worth it with coop enemies 😅 Could be fun with Corruption Cards on stream though!

[@Trampelschrat]

How to casually fail...😢

[@Nob1ej0n]

For the record, you're 9 days ahead of the anniversary. Trying to beat the rush, or did you read 10 as 01? 😁 I've still got 29 levels to go in the video (if you survive?), so I'll probably have more to say later. But in MAP01, I also always forget which switch is which, and usually end up flipping the second switch while it's underground. 😅

[@Vytaan]

It was released on September 30, but the official release party was on October 10 :D According to the wiki at least: doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_II And Romero too! x.com/romero/status/1314708283362619392?lang=en I guess October 10 is considered the actual date, but ah well. Oops :D The reason I made this video is because I saw some other Doomtubers celebrating yesterday x)

[@Nob1ej0n]

@@Vytaan Ha! Guess I missed that bit of trivia. I'm only familiar with Doomsday. I didn't realize it came out ahead of the party.

[@artcox2991]

Nooooooooo!!!

[@lexyeevee]

Wait i thought it was oct 10

[@mr-alexander-doom]

This tripped me up too. Wikipedia gives October 10th, but doomwiki gives September 30th for general availability and October 10th for the official release party.

[@Vytaan]

Yeah: it was released on September 30, but the official release party was on October 10. According to the wiki, but also Romero: x.com/romero/status/1314708283362619392?lang=en I guess October 10 is considered the actual date even though it was in stores earlier, but ah well. Both are technically correct? 😅

What a genius way to end the video. So much love in this game. It's my happy place, I can't believe it just doesn't get old.

[@Vytaan]

It really doesn't get old! It was refreshing to play through it again as it'd been too long.

[@gawd0r]

I don’t think I’d be able to keep my cool after playing two hours and then falling to a death pit. You rock.

[@TemperedMedia]

"Who needs the blue key?" **immediately tries to open a blue door** I love your content so much 😆 Nostalgiataan (Nostaan?) is great commentary, I like reflecting on these old maps and comparing how I approached them then vs now. I hate death pits 🥲
