Can you guys suggest me some good ways to play doom nowdays? I tried brutal doom but i didn't like it, too fast and weird for me.
idk play the original without mods in a source port like zdoom.
Chocolate doom if you want it as close to the original as possible
If you want the best graphics then doomsday engine, it even features "real" visual height/z-axis
If you want modability then go for zdoom
>>335909843
doom 2 reloaded is really good, and much better than the actual doom 2 maps..
>>335909256
You talking about Map Megawads or gameplay changers?
Welcome, OP

>>335909256
Just use gzdoom.
Keep in mind that vanilla moves at about the same pace as BD, the only differences are in the visual/aural department. Also some new weapons and enemy attacks but other than that the game is fundamentally the same.
>>335911175
if you want a more vanilla experience, Chocolate Doom is better choice than GZDoom, since it does not include eye-cancer filters, jumping, etc.
>>335909516
i tried this doomsday engine but neither 32 bit nor 64 worked for some reason, might be my shitty winxp laptop
>>335910695
>>335911175
>>335911339
i just want the best possible graphics, if possible
>>335911175
>gzdoom
this op
>>335912440
Well if you want the best graphics then definitely try to get doomsday working, there is nothing really that compares to that.
Other that that, there is smooth doom.
>>335912440
>i just want the best possible graphics,
That means as original as possible, with increased render resolution at tops, I hope.
>>335911339
>eye-cancer filters, jumping, etc.
You can disable all of those. IIRC, when loading up classic Doom .wad files (doom2, plutonia, etc), it disables them by default. Don't quote me on that though.
It's nice to also have other options like higher internal res, fullscreen hud, vertical aim, crosshairs, disabling auto-aim, lighting effects, tweaking game mechanics, etc.
>>335912679
do you know why i might be getting not a valid win32 application error with doomsday? i get error with the 64 bit version too, i think this laptop might be fucked, i haven't used it in ages and i am away from my pc
>>335912758
it has it's charm but just pixel my shit up senpai i would rather play it with a bit smoother graphics
>>335912850
>i would rather play it with a bit smoother graphics
Filters just hurt the art.
Bloom and blur are literal cancer.
>3D models.
all in all, OG Dooms in increased resolution + 32-bit colors = the best deal.
>>335912850
when do you get the message?
When installing, when opening the config or when you actually load up the doom.wad?
>>335912758
>>335912850
>>335912991
actually nvm i said that before i opened the screenshot, it looks good but gzdoom is still giving me not a valid win32 error, weird as hell
Okay boiz i got gzdoom 191 version to start but now this happens and changing resolution doesn't help wtf do i do?
>>335913184
gzdoom 64 bit version gave it to me when i tried starting it, the 211 version gives me opengl error, the 191 version starts up but this happens >>335913195
>>335913195
just get zDoom or Chocolate.
>>335913289
>>335913195
So it happens with doomsday AND zdoom?
Maybe its grapchics driver issues?
Minimal brutal options with the benefits of the updated sprites.
Also, ALWAYS USE FAST MONSTERS
alright zdoom works one more thing though how the fuck do i get rid of my cursor staying in the middle of the screen?
It doesn't appear on a screenshot but it stays there while i play the game
>>335914119
I've never had that issue.
You on W10 by any chance?
Try ALT-TAB out and back into the game, and Click on the game if it still stays.
>>335914391
i am on win xp and yeah i tried that but it still stays there, any idea how i could fix this in gzdoom? >>335913195
>>335914519
nevermind i deleted the config file gzdoom created and fixed it, i guess i will play gzdoom since people seem to say it looks the best
thanks guise
>>335914676
just remember to disable jumping, Y-axis aiming, crosshair and filters. Also enable the Classic style map, and Font scaling on high resolutions.
>>335914786
What's wrong with crosshairs?
>>335914676
yeah it use open gl instead of crappy software render it's way better especially light
>>335914881
they 're useless to be honest just point where you want to shoot with your gun
Why am I incapable of playing Doom with my friend? We can play custom wads and all that, but whenever I just want to co-op plain old Doom something fucks up. I usually get this error:
>"Level authentication failed please make sure you are using the exact same wad(s) as the server and try again"
and sometimes when we DO manage to play we can't even beat the first level because the game crashes on map change.
>>335915127
But what if you don't know where you're shooting at? That's kind of what a crosshair is for.
>>335909256
i will just leave this here
>brutal doom
>too fast
Is this a troll thread?
>>335915242
well i don't how to say this but you dont need them really
you just point enemy with the barrel of your gun and it works
it's intuitive as fuck ttbt
>>335914676
Zdoom is not the best for anything other than modding, people just use it because... well i dont know because it just gets recommended. Not that it is bad or anything...
Just make sure you disable jumping and y-axis looking, because it stretches the vertical textures and makes it look really confusing. Thats why i like doomsday the most, it has real 3dimensional verticality and you can customize the renderer really easily, even features like SSAO, sky colour effecting outside areas, reflective surfaces...
>>335915472
Yeah really I don't understand how interrupting gameplay to see a fatality every 5 seconds is "Fast".
brutal doom is just as fast as the original and somewhat harder, also it adds practically nothing new and just translates the old mechanics into modern ones.
So what I am saying is, if you didn't like it as an entry you probably won't like the rest.
>>335915513
You don't need them but it still helps a lot when you know, need to aim.
>>335915583
Nice meme lad never get's old
>>335915698
You "aim" in Doom by pointing the gun towards the enemy. It's not rocket science.
Next you're gonna ask "how do I reload in Doom??"
>>335909256
Brutal Doom really isn't all that good.
If you just want to play vanilla doom with mouse controls the best/easiest option is probably the port in Doom 3 BFG. It actually upscales the resolution without any weirdness, something that takes a bit of effort in zdoom. Otherwise it's literally just vanilla doom and doom2.
>>335915583
>he uses fatalities
>>335915787
>You "aim" in Doom by pointing the gun towards the enemy. It's not rocket science.
But crosshairs help with your aim.
>>335916039
it really does not. The game already guides your shots to the direction of enemy.
>>335915868
what about the port in steam, how is it?
>>335915383
i play COD and BF and i liked doom ?
they didn't change the targetet audience from the first doom ?
or maybe they target retroplayers wich is quite stupid
>>335916115
>playing with auto-aim
what a fag.
>>335916139
Straight up doesnt work on modern systems
It just downloads an old version of dosbox with the doom.wad
>>335909256
GZDoom
Extract all of the files into the base folder of the steam version
Rename GZDoom.exe to dosbox.exe and replace the original exe
It actually works, not sure if it works for DOOM II though.
>>335916282
lol that's some lazy ass work on their part
>Brutal Doom now what the options to play with the original weapons, to turn the fatalities off and to use classic Doom control schemes
>People still hate it
KeK
>>335916302
Also, you can disable the blurred textures in the options which is nice.
>>335916221
ahahahaha
autoaim is up and down
kek
>>335909256
Get it on whatever console you have.
>>335916139
That's why I said get the BGF edition port. It's also on steam but it actually fucking works and isn't lazy as fuck.
>>335916390
>>Brutal Doom now what the options to play with the original weapons, to turn the fatalities off and to use classic Doom control schemes
Wasn't that the entire point of the mod in the first place?
Replaying doom on nightmare and just got to episode 2. I forgot just how annoying that level is. I'm really fucking glad I remembered where the first secret is.
>he thinks brutal doom is too fast
I can only imagine how much normal doom makes your head spin.
