My favorite face is when your health is critical and you pick up a weapon. The smiling bleeding face of doomguy makes him look sadistic. Even though he's been through hell (literally) he wants nothing more than to kill as many more demons as he can before he dies.

[@explosiveaddict6939]

Oh, Hell, yeah. I also love the fully bloody angry face.

[@johnspangle6619]

Momo Kawashima 😂

[@felynecomrade]

Definitely the face that best captures the spirit of Doomguy. That, and the most bloody anger face. "My own intense pain, bodily damage and even very death are irrelevant. I don't give a damn about me. The one and only thing I care about is killing every last one of you fuckers." I love that the modern Doomguy aka "Slayer" keeps this exact personality. No more HUD face, but we know all we need to from just how his two arms and legs interact with the world. No ceremony or fuss. Just do what needs to be done to resume the slaughter.

It is not disturbing, it's perfection. Doomguy is *the last of the Great Heros* to have ascended to Mount Olympus after having defeated both sanity and literally every demon in existence. He doesn't have to be alive to kill them, as his mere presence within the mortal plain was long enough to spawn kill every demon foolish enough to wander into the mortal plain, or if they were summoned by some whippersnapper. Doomguy has driven many of them into great lengths of frustration.

Having a clear feedback of what your own character is doing or going through in the form of the status face makes it all the more relatable and makes the monsters and the environment more scary... in the latest versions Doom Guy is made to feel or look like too indestructible or superhuman which for me takes off a lot of the horror element that the original doom had.

To be honest, before I found out with zDoom that the ouch face was bugged, it made perfect sense to me.

Knowing that it was supposed to trigger whenever you took 20+ damage kinda killed it for me.

Ah yes, SNES popped my Doom cherry. I quickly learned to play the field after that and Doom on Play Station (1) became my mistress. I eventually left SNES Doom for my mistress and after she went in for surgery to get an augmentation, in the form of a mod chip, I started an open relationship with my PS where I would have a 6-way orgy in the form of a CD with 6 FPS games on it. Final Doom (a trio of friends: Doom 1, Doom 2, and the extra levels), Duke Nukem 3D, Hexen, and I can't remember the name of the last one. I loved it, however, I admit my attention was almost always on the trio. I spent many a days fingering joysticks and pounding buttons... Good times, good times.

Disruptor? Powerslave? Exhumed (which is the same as powerslave)?

@@dsandoval9396 If we're going by the fact that you had all the DooM games and also Hexen, I'm going to make the educated guess that the sixth was Heretic

[@dsandoval9396]

@@HexdaHeresiarch I really can't remember. This was quite literally about 2 decades ago when I went to visit family in Mexico. Their flea markets/bazaars are really common wherever you go so I went to see what games I could get for cheap as the currency exchange was $1 US dollar for $18 Mexican pesos and back home in the US I had just got a PS with the mod chip. (A little side note, there had been tourists back then but Mexico is smarter now in the form of raising fee's to match a US equivalent prices. You can still get cheaper things/services there but it was way easier back then.) Bootleg (burned) games in Mex were being sold what would equate to $1.50 to $3.00 dollars US for a multi disk game, but $3 was rare, they were mostly $1.50-$2. That's a friggin deal! Who knows what standard they used to make compilation Play Station game CDs, but that's the thing, this was literally that guy just burning whatever he felt like on a CD to sell at his stand. As far as the disk itself, I only remember one medieval/spell casting/fps game on the disk, it could have been either Heretic or Hexen, I just remember pig guards and bats attacking. As I said, this was about 20 years ago so for all I know you're right and both Heretic and Hexen could have been on that CD. I do remember being blown away that 6 whole games could be on one CD when Duke Nukem 3D was enough to be on one CD here in the US. I babied that CD for a long time, it was literally my Holy Grail, I had a protective cover that went on the CD itself... it was circular thin plastic cover that snapped on around the edge of the CD and the only thing that gave it away was the thin neon orange seam that ran along the outer edge of the CD... but alas, the Grail is lost to time. I let my friend borrow it and he lost it, that cocksucker.

You know this Christmas will be a good one if we got a decino's video for present

[@tbone9474]

I love these videos, I know one day you won't be able to cover any more such subjects, but they're gems of information for old school gamers like me. Thanks man

[@TristanBeulah]

4:30 triggers my google assistant. Bizarre.

You're a treasure to the Doom community, Decino. We love you. Merry Christmas.

[@decino]

Merry Christmas to you too.

[@CyriakHarrisBiggestFan]

it's a good day when decino uploads :) really love the design of these videos, so easy to watch even when the content is pretty complicated, and your voice is so soothing, too

[@fisher4540]

This face is so funny 0:21 😂 It’s funny until you notice that you’re one shot

[@oscargonzalez3599]

Oh! i actually got another idea for another video, how does the demon tracking ability work? Basically I have noted that ones a demon see you or know of your present, they do kind of follow you and almost always find you, but sometimes, that is not the case and they just stop following you. So, how is that? and how it work?

[@davidchez513]

That is explained in his infighting review. In fact enemies won't stop chasing you, unless they were provoked by another enemy first and after killing their target they aren't facing you.

[@oscargonzalez3599]

@@davidchez513 Oh, should check that video again then, didn't see or remember that part, thanks!

[@hi-i-am-atan]

To give more of a specific run-down on how the pathfinding works, though, it's pretty simple: there is no pathfinding. Monsters can move only in the eight cardinal and ordinal directions, and try to walk straight at their target the best they can ( hence why they can seem to zig-zag - you're at an angle they can't walk at, so they have to wobble left and right to try and keep a straight track ). If they run into a wall or another solid object? They just back off and wander around somewhat randomly for a while, before trying to walk straight again. So, how well an enemy can track you depends entirely on how kind the map is to what are basically very angry pinballs and, well, just plain luck.

[@oscargonzalez3599]

@@hi-i-am-atan That make sense, the thing is that, I was playing this map, where there is this semi-secret room, I anger haft of the demons of the map and then run as fast as I could to that room (the room is all they away at the start of the map) after a couple of second most of them did came to the rooms entry, and only a few of them were able to open the door and come in, the rest seem to just hang around the place trying to go to your position.

Amazing how much effort is put into those videos! Thanks a lot!
