Agree. Some of these maps you gotta slow down and think. Super speed is impressive sure but for me it's not a selling point. I watch these cause I like Decino as a creator. Plus there's no question he's a beast player.

[@Dondlo46]

If your pc that can run DOOM ETERNAL lags on this then my pc will die instantly

[@Cvoxalury]

It's not a linear dependency though. Eternal's engine is great at handling its stuff (it's faster in rendering and loading than 2016's already), Doom 2's engine (or PrBoom in this case) will have trouble calculating too much stuff at once no matter what PC. It bottlenecks at the engine, not at the PC and its hardware. It has to run the same code for every copy of the object instead of working in batches and such. And you can so often see older games with modern mods lag terribly meanwhile modern games with their millions of polygons, can run smoothly. So yeah!

As Doomguy tore apart the demons of hell relentlessly, they spouted nonsense like "I'm Too Young To Die" and "Hey, Not So Rough".

[@edzeppelin1984]

Wow, I could really hear the weariness in your voice. It's amazing that you stayed so positive about the map at the end - I don't think I'd want to play even my favourite map ever 60 times in a row. I played through this with cheats, and sat there watching myself get tossed from Arch-Vile to Arch-Vile thinking "I have no idea how I'd even start playing this map properly". To be perfectly honest I'm not sure I'd want to go through what you did. Map 29 is at least shorter, although no less intense. Map 30, on the other hand, is one of the most grandiose constructions I've seen in the Doom engine. I've never seen another map like it.

[@moznayim]

I can't have been the only one who needed to rewind and hear that attempt number again. Gotta admire your patience and tenacity for playing through with such a calm voice. I doubt I'd be able to do the same, especially not after so many previous deaths.

This map actually was the hardest map i have ever played in DOOM, I found this much harder than map 29, map 29 i would put on the same level as Proxyon. But then I played map 30, and that made this map look easy. I almost had a mental breakdown playing God Machine.

[@davidkiss8845]

Today I FINALLY beat this map single-segment. Holy shit this was getting infuriating. I commend you for dying only 58 times, I must have had like 200 failed attempts, I honestly lost count. The lag gets pretty bad in some fights that should be a piece of cake, but I end up having to dodge cyberdemon rockets on 3 FPS. That makes it difficult just to get through the first half, and then there is that god awful fight with the billion hell knights and teleporting archviles / revenants. During my practicing, I did that fight on the first try (no clue how), so I assumed it's not gonna be that difficult, then I just kept dying there over and over during real runs. Then spent hours trying to come up with a reliable strategy, but couldn't make up one that had better than 25% chance of success. Whether the cyberdemons infight in important moments or not, whether the archviles teleport in early or not, it's such RNG and even with a lot of cells saved that fight is such bs. Wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't the penultimate fight on an already long map. At least the final fight is not that bad, it's just really long if you take the 'safe' method. Gonna watch the outtakes now, fitting to have the successful run with the 1% health survival there. On my successful run I was also down to 5% health in the final room haha.

[@mehD293]

after surviving from 1% health...OK lets save ammo for next fight... you are so damn good man... love you😁

You absolute madman. I am very much looking forward to the outtakes, and the last couple levels of this wad.
