Doom II: Valiant - MAP28: A Lightbridge Too Far (Ultra-Violence 100%)

The map's title is a reference to the old war movie "A Bridge Too Far", which is about Operation Marketplace, a WWII plan to capture several vital bridges in the occupied Netherlands in order to open a path to Germany that ended not that well for the Allies. And for me those aren't "light bridges". They're Vaporwave bridges. So A E S T H E T I C.

I really like your videos, they are comforting and helping me - soothing when I need to forget about my work, stress and other few things in my life and about myself... thank you for that as I have no chance to play by myself and haven't played any game for years now as I have so many commitments in life going on. I love games and I used to be a gamer but... you know... life. But I can watch your videos, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Another meal to decino. Great Sunday. Commentary on the actual map....you had to keep your head on a swivel...that big open area had like every sniper from every Doom game and custom .wad ever. And then they bumrushed you. It was tough but MAP28 of InsertDoomHere.wad is supposed to be difficult. It did what it was supposed to do. And you did what you do. Good work!

One of the high points of this was definitely the two chaingunners in-fighting before one of them got nuked off the face of the Earth via mancubus.

My favourite map in the entire WAD.

[@GuyXVIII]

17:19 until one of them gets a comical fireball to the face :D that is worthy of a KZbin Shorts video.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Welcome back, boiii! More Valiant is just what I needed in these days of hot days and even hotter evenings. This constant 36+ Celsius heat is killing me! 🔥😬🔥 A Lightbridge Too Far is one of the levels I find most enjoyable in the whole wad. It has a super funky gimmick, but at the same time it plays exactly like a regular level, and a pretty damn hard one, too. The lightbridges look amazing and contrast nicely with the silvers and greys of the techbase and moon surface textures. IMO not even Ancient Aliens pulled an aesthetic stunt as cool as them, and that is as gorgeous as an unconventional aesthetic wad gets. Music for this one is a midi rendition of "Scarab of Glory 1", from the obscure Mega Drive game The Hybrid Front. If you ask me, though, I'd say this is more well known as "Dark Fortress Zone Act 1" from the Sonic 1 Megamix romhack. You know, from that franchise with the jumpy italians? That last revenant is a total scumbag, and I hate skillsaw for hiding him there. What's the meaning? He's just like that dumb Captain that gave you trouble in Anagnorisis. Now, you only have two maps to the end of Valiant. It was a bit of a long road, but we're almost at the end, and it's been great fun if you discount the meme gun noise fatigue. But, do you already know what you will play next?

[@decino]

I have a WAD planned after Valiant, yes.

[@durdleburdle3521]

And here we go again with a well written and knowledgeable comment by Dinner-fork tongue. I really have been enjoying these, man, they are as much part of this series for me as decino's impressive gameplay. I do disagree with you on this one. A Light Bridge Too Far is good, for sure, but it's far from my favourite. Maybe I lack the technical knowledge to appreciate the bridges, but they didn't stand out enough to make this level as memorable as the ones preceding and following it. It's a solid map which maintains the challenge introduced by Rocket Zone II, but its main function for me is to act as a bridge (pun intended) between Map27 & Map29, which I consider the real meat of the episode. Speaking of which, it just occurs to me that I enjoyed this episode's structure enormously. It feels like a mini wad within the wad: A small map with techbase style enemies (as decino aptly observed) to start it off, followed by a frantic but short map to up the ante, then a couple of bigger but not less action packed offerings, and a final level to wrap it all up. The other episodes don't have that clear of an arch, with the exception maybe of E1.

[@Mecheye]

This music is featured in some Mario World roms as well. Its pretty great!

[@deoskipsbasics]

Yooo, I came late again :(, but not late enough for having a good sleepy while I hear demons getting teared apart by uncle decino uwu. Btw, if u ever make a compilation out of your videos, u must include 17:24, just so random and perfect.

[@Maggerama]

I really like how the Moon environment gets complimented by them lightbridges. Very retrofuturistic, vert stylish.

[@ThatTravGuy]

This is the first I've seen of this WAD aside from the first few levels. Seeing the Arachnatrons that leave their mechs, and the new Baron/Hell Knight types makes me really wanna try picking this wad back up.

[@Vmac1394]

6:30 That is one of the worst feelings in Doom, when you shotgun a chaingunner point blank and he doesn't die.

[@kelleroid]

I'd say an imp that survives a shotgun is worse. it's why you shouldn't feel like using SSG is overkill because RNG be like that

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@kelleroid Nope. For me, imps always get both barrels. If I am forced to single-shotgun them, if one eats a full shell and survives, it gets the chaingun treatment.

Excellent wad, Ancient Aliens! Played it earlier this year (or late last year, can't remember now!), I notice that it's mostly made by Skillsaw as well, but I found it quite a bit harder than Valiant.

[@karlk5801]

They're used better here. They don't just exist to be colorful, the designer uses them in interesting ways: intangibility (having them vanish after a short time), player effects on the environment (making it clear what happened when you pressed a switch), and foreshadowing (when you see the path but not yet the bridge).

[@konchady1]

Sometimes I wonder if you need the invulnerability at all :) Still two more and you are done. Good luck.

[@sunvieightmaster88]

23 minutes into the video so far really good definitely digging this map those two close moments you had just before you got hit that was intense literally had me on the edge of my seat lol just brilliant 1% health and then 3% bloody hell shame you got hit by that flying spider demon because that would have been truly epic to get back on top from that. At least you know what is coming though so you can plan ahead for that fight in a way I'm glad you decided to just do another play through without practicing your blind play throughs are really good to watch it's interesting to me to see how you play when facing new threats and monster spawns because its actually changed how I play doom by following your example. Anyway I'll edit the comment when I'm at the end however if not then I'll say thanks for the upload now and as always great play through really enjoyed watching this mod so far and this last chapter really have been liking the maps on it good layouts and design and good monster placement definitely. Anyway cheers for the upload. Well just finished the video now and you know what that last fight was definitely epic and yeah those light bridges were really cool I have no idea how they do things like but still really impressed with it. And this was map 28 so two more to go I wonder what coming up in the next two maps I mean this was pretty mad towards the end with that last fight and the optional area in the last one was really mad so yeah definitely looking forward to seeing what those last maps have to throw at ya.
