Good Doom/Heretic/Hexen WADs

[Sjukob]

yeah like Chronicles of Myrthana - still waiting for that special edition with bounties and whatnot...

Why are you equalizing hotfixes with an expansion pack?

 

[Wunderbar]

So I was playing Ashes Hard Reset.

At a certain point in the story your main character gets brutally beaten by a mutant boss, and nearly dies in a scripted sequence. Then he wakes up in someones house. It's a typical le cozy apartment complete with cutesy stuffed toys and paintings everywhere.

Then you leave the room to see the person that saved your character... and it's a mutant w*mxn with an anime face.

There's a suspicious pink/blue/white painting standing nearby.

There's also a Selacko easter egg in one of the earlier maps.

Dooom community strikes again!

Links for the drama?

Doomer Boards would be your best bet, ZDoom and Doomworld scrubbed everything.

Dooom community strikes again!

I hope you're joking, as discussed previously Vost fucked off the GZDoom boards to avoid political inanity. Colours are now suspicious?

Also, Ashes had a shitton of other games as eastern eggs, from stuff like Hedon (here, that one is kinda degenerate) to Brigador. Selaco may be a kinda weak project, but c'mon. Also never check who voices Porcelain from Afterglow. Just don't.

Oh, please...
The demon girl could just be his fetish. Some of you are way too easily triggered.

I'm more curious about some reports that the end levels are a tad unfinished and the release is essentially a "demo" of sorts. I'd be glad to wait if it means... better polish. I know it's free stuff, but....

Hmm, demon girls fetishes in Ashes?

Spoiler

Can't think of any. Must be troon propaganda in my brain.

A couple examples

I ran into trouble on the penultimate level towards the end, my passage onwards was blocked by allied forces. Had to jump over them, pretty certain I'm not supposed to have to do that.

The final level is entering the Spire, exploring a couple of rooms looking for some keycards, entering the generator room where there are the level's only batch of baddies, then heading back to the elevator and leaving everyone behind, boss battle outside. The End. Felt more like an epilogue than a final level.

it was so weird, I thought leaving all of your military buddies behind was an alternative bad ending. Pixel-hunted the entire level in search of some hidden key or a button that lets me join them, but no. You travelled that far, only to say 'fuck that' at the last possible moment.

it's pretty rough. Lots of misaligned textures or flat out untextured places, some iffy difficulty balancing in the early levels (wendigos have a fuckton of health and aren't very fun to fight against). The flashlight runs out of energy ridiculously fast too, I have managed to get myself stranded in a pitch darkness and had to use flashlight's on/off flash to see where I was going during the mission where you escort your dudes through the subway. I imagine the dev is going to address that in one of the patches.

There's also a huge glowing "v0.92" in the main menu.

What the hell is with all those easter eggs?
Do modders cannot contain their annoying autism for just a bit?

not surprising tbh - I've used "noclip" to fly around the maps and some of them contains whole rooms and sections from previous Ashes - they can't be reached in any other way.

 

[SilentMRG]

I'm currently playing this:



Although I played this a few months ago and stopped to play Brutal Wolfenstein 3D.

It's a shame that the author of Wolfenstein X - Hearts of Liberty disappeared and erased the mod from existence, luckily, another guy archived it here.

 

[HansDampf]

How is Brutal Wolfenstein, btw?

 

[NecroLord]

Getting kinda sick of these Brutal mods.
Just endless gore showers with little to no variation...

 

[SilentMRG]

Basically the vanilla episodes with brutality. Take a look...
