Jonny, I LOVE your videos. Have for years, always will, but as an audio tech, I have to tell you dude, you GOTTA turn it up for your live action segments. I could NOT hearing anything Elliot said, and only about 40% of what you said. And before everyone tells me "to just turn it up", the in game sections are perfectly mixed, so if I turn it up to hear the live segments, the in game segments are insanely loud. Seriously. This isn't a deal breaker but like, I had to say something. It's been an issue for awhile. On multiple devices, on different sound systems. Besides that, I love your work buddy :)

[@SingaporeLoveItachi]

Not really. As long as the Doom 2 speedrunners like Looper, ZeroMaster, and KingDime, and people like Decino exist, it's safe to say Doom 2 is enjoyed by a lot.

[@Eye_Of_Odin978]

Nah, I totally disagree. When playing on Ultra-Violence, the gentlemen's way to play Doom (ask Civvie about that) Doom 1's lower enemy variety makes it unbelievably repetitive. Like how many times am I supposed to slow-roll a Caco to death with a mere shotgun in Doom 1? Too many, is how many. The maps in Doom 2 might be worse *at times* (Doom 1's Fortress of Mystery and Slough of Despair are god-awful, Hell Beneath is a nut-punch of a level, and Unruly Evil is just flat out boring) but Doom 2 also had more fun standout levels, like Tricks and Traps where infighting (something that was way less used in Doom 1 overall) was not only fun but pretty much necessary for survival. The Arch-Vile and Pain Elemental, even though annoying, do shake up the strategy of your gameplay as priority targets, and the Super Shotgun is even more impactful on higher difficulty due to the shotgun becoming outclassed by raised enemy health. There's a REASON most people make their .wads for Doom 2 most of the time. John Romero making Sigil was actually a novelty because it was on Doom 1 instead. The better enemy variety and weapon list helps more than one would think when play Ultra-Violence, or god help you *Nightmare* But to each their own. I personally hate like all of Doom 1 besides Episode 1, like half of Ep 2, and the only Doom 1 I truly *enjoy* is the unofficial 5th episode, Sigil.

Something that makes the Doom 3 shotgun even worse, it's not just the spread that makes your damage suck. Each pellet's damage is also RANDOMIZED every time you fire it.

Pretty sure that’s how the D1 and D2 shotguns worked

It is, it's just less noticeable there due to the slower pace and less spongy enemies. May also have had more pellets per shot in those, not sure about that.

doom 64 was kind of a tragic case of everyone just thought it was a simple port to the n64 as opposed to its own thing really cool it got a new chance to shine.

[@hfc2x]

As an absolute Doom nerd, I can tell you a few things: - Playing the Steam version of Doom is the best experience if you've never played Doom. It plays just like the original, being fully demo-compatible, but you also have modern controls by default (you could very well use modern controls in the DOS version, but required you to configure the game with the SETUP utility), it has a higher resolution, uncapped framerate, and even a crosshair that tells you if your gun is locked onto an enemy. And not just that, it allows you to play many fan favorite mods that run on the original engine. Best package overall. - Doom 2 being what you described wasn't Sandy Petersen's fault for the most part. I know it's a meme to complain about his maps, and he's absolutely guilty of using monster ambushes way too much (most of his levels in Doom 1 are the ones that rely on this the most), plus the fact he was the one who came up with the behaviors for the new monsters, but most of the decisions about making the game far more combat-focused, and having huge, labyrinthine levels was John Romero's idea. Point in case, what you mostly showcase in your clips when you mention this problem are specifically John Romero levels (MAP15 at 19:38 and MAP17 at 20:03, for example). - You played Doom 64 on easy difficulty, not on normal. That's why you found the game so cozy. This is all due to N64 memory constraints, meaning the final skill level in Doom 64 (which would have been the very hard skill, or "Nightmare!") had to be axed, but the skill levels when you hit new game are still ordered in the way PC Doom skill levels are: Be Gentle! (very easy), Bring It On! (easy), I Own Doom! (normal), Watch Me Die! (hard). Bring It On! is selected by default. - Please don't use the Fandom wiki for Doom, because it's full of outdated information, unlabeled speculation, vandalism, etc. The real Doom Wiki is located at doomwiki (dot) org, and it's funded and vetted by community veterans who aim to keep all the technical and lore information as accurate as possible.

[@areoants9453]

By extension, me being less of a Doom nerd but also very much sticking my nose into decino's videos, 17:55 hurts, knowing that he's cutting out so much potential damage by hiding behind a wall, thereby preventing the BFG tracers from hitting anyone. Such are the woes of an invisible true strength.

[@cup_noodls]

About the blur sphere: it's really only useful if you're dealing with a lot of hitscanners, while it won't entirely keep them from hitting you it does reduce their accuracy a lot. But it makes fighting enemies who fire projectiles much, much worse because they'll fire in unpredictable directions and it's a lot harder to predict where their fireballs will go. Unless you're going for 100% of the items (and apart from BigMacDavis, who does that?), it's usually better to avoid picking it up whenever you can.

[@williamhardee8863]

You know I feel like we discuss the changes we go through in our teens a lot, but not often do we talk about the way we change in our 20’s. If you go back and watch Johnny’s old videos when he was in his 20s he kinda still sounds like a teen, but now he’s in his 30’s and his voice sounds nice, and deep, and sophisticated. If you’re in your 20s and you feel insecure about something like your voice remember, even though you look like you’ve stopped developing on the outside, you aren’t done maturing yet.

This might have been one of my most wanted Versus videos for a long time now, glad it's finally here! 20:37 To explain why this usually happens, Doomguy's hitbox gets clipped through the lowest surface once you're on the edge of a platform while loading a save. The worst possible scenario for this to happen is when you have two walls near each other like in E4M1, if you're only stuck to one wall you can use your momentum to run away from the wall in order to free yourself from getting stuck (Don't ask me about the overall technical stuff, I'd suggest you looking up a decino video for this, trust me).

Doom 64’s Lost Levels tying into Doom Eternal was actually a fun treat for Doom Fans! Before Eternals released people theorized that Doom 64 was apart of the canon because of its ending, and how it could be possibly be where Doom 2016 picks up after some a period of time. I remember one of the leads on Doom Eternal said that Doom 64 was their first doom game, and getting to see it finally get some recognition in not only a re-release, but also with it getting tied into the canon, was immensely satisfying.

I think you might be imagining things, Johnny Cause regular keys in Doom 64 does nothing to the Unmaker. The keys you needs are a special set that you can only find on the game's 3 secret levels. Each of them upgrades the gun and with all 3, you will definitely see and feel the difference. It obliterates full room with even the strongest enemies in seconds

[@physicalgrafiti12345]

I wont lie, as a Doom veteran thats been playing since you could get the WAD file for free, it was funny seeing how Johnny struggled at times. And while on Hurt Me Plenty lol. I'm not sure he realizes how difficult it was to make the game either. Yeah there were a lot of limitations, but John Carmack literally had to solve years old issues plaguing the industry just to get the game to run with multi level floors. So it may seem, especially as gamers in 2023, that they could have easily added more or even made it more realistic. But really was the best they could do in 1993. Actually, it was beyond what anyone even thought possible at the time.

Great video as always, but the audio balancing was a ways off. I kept having to manually adjust my volume.

I've been playing DOOM since a year or two after its release, so it's interesting hearing the perspective of someone who is basically playing it for the first time. The complaints are interesting because I honestly don't feel like the genre during this time period was super welcoming to new players. Map design in particular could be obtuse or mean. They really lend themselves better to repeat plays where you start moving around the maps more fluidly because of a greater familiarity with them. '90s FPS games in particular, where each map was typically less linear than affairs we see today, are the types that get better and more fun the more you play through them. I definitely suggest revisiting the classic DOOM games repeatedly over time--they will become more fun.

[@Insomniaaron]

Truly believe how much you like Doom 2 is proportional to whether you played the new games first solely based on the "oh, cool" factor of seeing the new enemies and weapons that returned later in the series. It's why I like Pain Elementals and Archviles. Also may be proportional to your use of the level editing tools - as much of the game plays like it was made in those by a fan or something.

Johnny, you DEFINITELY need to cover a lot more underrated gems; I have never seen anyone big on KZbin covering Vectorman or Ristar, and given your love for Sonic & how it had its start on the Genesis, I feel that just might be up your alley. Assuming you have the time for it, anyway.

17:00 Funny you mention the map looking like Asteroids, because they had originally planned an easter egg for the map which would turn it into Asteroids.

DOOM 64 is canonically the third game, and the modern games aren't actually reboots... They ARE direct continuations. DOOM 3 is just a survival horror game, and a retelling/reimagining of the first DOOM. DOOM lore does go pretty deep actually, but you've gotta dig for it sometimes. It is cool regardless. Can't wait to see you cover 2016 and Eternal.

Johnny covering doom is very October and in here for it. I’m hype for the halo reviews in the future

[@georgie9303]

I don’t think he’s doing Halo anymore because people picked DOOM. Makes me sad since Halo is better than DOOM imo. Multiplayer especially

21:57 I can never get that out of my head, Dang it, Jon 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@michaeloverton04]

Fuck yeah. Johnny's talking about the Big Fucking Games. Rip and tear through this series, and happy Halloween.

[@nicksmi56]

Thank you, Johnny, for letting me know the original DOOM has a map. Think I'll actually finish it now 😂

[@petemc4190]

Loved the N00b doom experience! Give Techtangents a watch to see how original Doom was meant to be played with 4 PC's - widescreen and a map screen in all it's early 90's glory... other random aside is MVG did a cool run though how they got Doom cubed (chuckle) to run on the Xbox with witchcraft and magic

[@xenotheone1689]

Didn't expect you to cover this series. Glad you did it has a lots of ups and downs, but when its good its really good.

[@NanaKyoto]

Doom really did help pave the way for modern games (for better or worse), but as of writing this comment, I have not played Doom in any capacity, well, maybe except a Doom 3 demo from an Xbox demo disc. Still glad seeing an old series still going strong.

[@italomango]

How fitting, i just beat Doom II again yesterday. Glad you enjoyed your time, and I feel about the same with most of the games here. Cheers, John.

[@SilverSpireZ]

Holy crap! Was not expecting you to talk about DOOM! Can’t wait to watch this!
