[@QuakeGamerROTMG]

I think the most interesting part to me was how invulnerability and godmode are considered totally different but it only matters in that one specific case (minus the screen effect) and that they technically just block 1,000 damage rather than totally blocking all damage. That plus the telefrags dealing 10,000 damage were really interesting. First I've heard of any of that. "How much damage does a telefrag do" is never something I've ever thought about in any game, it's always just been taken for granted that it instakills you outright but at least in Doom if you could somehow get more than 10,000HP then you would survive a telefrag since it is just a damage source like any other.

[@Bomblastic49]

The Zandronum source port, and possibly GZDoom as well, have a "god2" cheat that makes the player invulnerable to telefrags. Most likely by raising the player's damage immunity beyond 10,000.

[@belandino]

@@Bomblastic49 Nice, I didn't know about the "god2" cheat! You get the message "Ultimate degreelessness mode on"! There's always something new to learn!

[@manowartank8784]

Would be cool to have mod, where boss is 30 000 HP so you have to telefrag him 3 times, similiar to Quake E1 boss.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@Bomblastic49 Yes, GZDoom has that. It also has buddha2.

[@yourunclemario8109]

If you remember doom 1 episode 4(thy flesh consumed) map 2 had a cuberdemon trapped behind a low wall. The trick was to rush down to the start of the level, 5o teleporter and telefreg the cyberdemo instead of wasting ammo. I didn't even know either until recently about telefreg in the original DooMs engine.

[@bnlish]

I used to think: “partial invisibility is only half invisible, so if I were to pick up two I would be fully invisible!” And so I went to the last level of doom, entered one try command for invisibility twice, had only a pistol and immediately got wiped out

[@MrDangeresque]

I've been playing Doom since I was a small child back in '94 and I NEVER knew that the extra fist damage from Berserk lasted beyond the red screen. My mind is blown.

[@mollywantshugs5944]

Yup. IIRC it does theoretically run out if you stay in the level long enough, but it’s over a year or something ridiculous like that so for all practical purposes it never times out

Same. Avid player since 94 and never knew. That's why I continue to watch these videos!

[@ironcito1101]

They made every effort to make it seem that way. The red screen even flashes as if to warn you that it's about to run out. They probably intended for it to run out and either made a mistake in the code or changed their minds and never fixed the red screen.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I watched a streamer play Doom recently and she was _convinced_ that berserk only lasted until the red screen faded, and that until then she couldn't switch weapons. I swear I rolled my eyes every time she - very reluctantly - picked up a berserk pack.

[@pgj1997]

2:14 "Least useful". Yeah. In a game where you can't see anything 40% of the time. Give or take.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

Its usefulness really depends on the map design being built with it in mind, and it's rather difficult to design a level around being too dark to see shit unless you can find a specific power up without pissing the player off. Not to mention that gamma correction exists even in vanilla DOOM as a workaround to see in dark maps, and GZDoom and maybe even other source ports offer a lot of options for adjusting lighting. Oh, and the goggles break any attempt at atmosphere while they're in effect, which is not very helpful to the map designer. It's easier on the map designer to just keep the brightness just high enough that the light goggles are kinda redundant without sacrificing atmosphere or design the map in a way that you always have a bright area in sight to go to, and players have methods of debatable cheesiness to be able to see in dark areas with or without the goggles. So yeah, I would say the goggles are the least useful power up everything considered. I know I'm months late, but I wanted to say it.

One big difference between Computer Area Map (IDBEHOLDA) and the IDDT IDDT cheat is the fact that the area map item allows you to see where you have been in the level and what places have not been visited yet, making finding secrets much easier. IDDT hides this info.

[@Arceon55]

3:14 I saw that MapleStory miss icon. You aren't fooling me!

[@Huncd6814]

After playing some challenging levels in Doom for a while, I would say that the main powerups used in slaughter levels tend to be the backpack at the start of the level, megasphere and the invulnerability (especially on lower difficulties).

Doom's artifact selection is one of the simplest and most balanced of the whole gaming world. It's really hard to find much fault in it. In certain ports, the Virtual Boy does trigger a night vision style lighting overhaul. I tried it, and it works nicely, way better than just making the world ugly fullbright.

[@CsubAzUrmedve]

[@karisasani7006]

In source ports that support the use of console commands you can give yourself an enhanced form of invulnerability that can protect you from telefrags and other attacks that would normally pierce it

[@DinnerForkTongue]

It also makes you entirely immune to knockback. Same applies to the "super buddha" cheat - the regular buddha mode's vulnerabilities are canceled. Although I think you still receive knockback.

[@henriqueferreira1748]

I don't like how some ports "fix" the invulnerability effect by making it affect the sky because that makes it harder to see things. If i recall, the GBA port replaced it with a blue filter. D64 made it different and i prefer the way how it handle it, since there's still colors and it's not so far away from the Doom 1 version. I liked how Doom 16 gave power ups timers to indicate the time left and the colors around the screen without affecting the center.
