For someone who is going into it for the first time, does it still hold up well?
Using a source port like Chocolate DOOM or GZDOOM?
>>337623224
I'm not familiar with that , just using the steam version?
>>337623224
If he's using Chocolate Doom, he might have a bad time, since that's Doom as it was in 1993, sans mouselook or resolutions above 800x600.
GZDoom is good.
>>337623224
This means it doesnt hold up
>>337623026
the autoaim up and down is kinda weird but it's still fun and it kinda looks good with open gl
>>337623332
They're source ports specially made for DOOM that you can get for free, Chocolate offers the best old school experience while Z/GZDoom is able to have certain features for a lot of mods and wads.
The Steam version runs on DOSbox which would be Chocolate but paid while the BFG version has certain changes from the original.
The original creators of the game wont care if you get the game from free with source ports since they dont even work at ID anymore
Hell yeah it does
>>337623026
Get a source port, download the latest version of the Brutal Doom mod and strap yourself in for an amazing FPS experience.
At least that's how I played it first and I don't regret it at all.
yes it's still as good as ever
>>337623332
steam version is just a dosbox package which works fine if you know how to set up dosbox but it's better to just use something like zdoom or gzdoom with the appropriate comparability settings and controls
>>337623801
brutal doom isn't the best if he want the vanilla experience
it's easier to get into though
>>337623026
Still fun. Had even more fun with mods:

Don't tell me MUH GRAPHIX actually make the game shit
A FPS is a FPS fuckboi
>>337623801
>brutal doom
Brutal Doom is to Doom as Fakefactory's Cinematic Mod is to HL2.
>>337623801
>first time playing doom? just get brutal doom and strap yourself in xDD you're in for a wild ride kid xDDD
>>337624105
>>337624123
why hate brutal doom ?
it holds up, but keep in mind if you play it 100% vanilla, that means absolutely no aiming, and if you REALLY want to go hardcore, then KB only.
modern versions of Doom 1 and 2 can allow you to aim freely with the mouse, and some allow you to jump, although that is an unnecessary feature, since the games were not designed with a jump in mind
Played it for the first time a couple of months ago and fuck yeah it holds up. Probably the most fun I've had with an FPS. It was also the first time I played an FPS with mouse and keyboard since I'm a consolefag and now I don't want to go back to the controller.
>>337624870
wait you couldn't aim in doom?
>>337624259
because it's not Doom and it's not fun
ignorant brutal doom shitters leave
>>337624259
because Doom 4 takes most of its inspiration from Brutal Doom, and it turns out it's a good game, so now /v/ has to hate Brutal doom too.
>>337625020
no vertical aiming if you wanna shoot something above you line it up normally and make sure it still shows on the screen
>>337625303
Nigga, we've always hated brutal doom.
Disclaimer: I haven't played brutal doom, the screen shots looked lame as hell and I never bothered.
>>337624870
But freeaim makes the game harder than it originally was.
Since everyone is arguing can I get a definite answer? Some guy said brutal doom, some other guy said emulate it, some said the steam version. Which one ?
>>337624259
Is better toplay vanilla the first time around, also reload animations and ebin kill cams
>recommending Doom: "I need comically excessive gore effects to enjoy an already perfect game" edition
Do not listen to this man, OP.
>>337625785
Forget brutal doom if it's your first time playing
Get a source port, they add mouse look and 3d effects
Good ones
Zdoom
Zandronum
>>337625785
This is the definitive answer >>337623680
>>337625785
1. Get iwads
2. Get G/ZDoom
3. Play
4. Install SmoothDoom if you want better graffix
That's it.
>>337625785
Steam is fine if you don't mind paying, go with Chocolate Doom if you do mind.
Check out Brutal after you've tried vanilla if you insist on it.
>>337624870
>and if you REALLY want to go hardcore, then KB only
Why the fuck would you cripple yourself with KB only when even the manual suggested that you should try out using KB + mouse for optimal control.
>>337626219
>>337626254
>>337626151
Thanks guys I'll check out chocolate or Zdoom. There are doom 2 versions of these too am I correct?
>>337626573
Both programs will run Doom 2 wads just fine, you'll be good to go.
>>337626262
That's why it's hardcore.
>>337624259
It's fun, but makes the game too easy.
>>337624098
No MUH shit controls
>>337623026
Absolutely
So free aim or no free aim?
>>337628393
No free aim, unless the WAD you're playing is designed for it. Doom 1+2 are not.
>>337628393
no free aim unless it's specified in the wad readme
>>337624123
>>337624105
no it's fucking not. Even if you want to give it shit for the iron sights and modern mechanics; you can play classic mode, or enable/disable any features to make it as close to the classic as you want.
You're just nostalgia faggots who can't into fun.
>>337629017
>classic mode
>anything like vanilla
shoo shoo
>>337628393
no, and also no jumping until doom 2, if you can't figure out how to turn it off just don't do it
WASD is acceptable
get MoonMan mod
Don't forget to play the PSX Total Conversion mod
>that soundtrack by the same dude who later on made Doom 64 ost
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV5UnANIj3c
>>337629414
There's no jumping in Doom 2, either...
>>337629236
what features does it lack exactly?
and like I said, literally EVERYTHING is customizable in the options.
>>337629787
HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS
Is Brutal Doom or just that gore/gib wad a good alternative if my PC doesn't run D4AM?
>>337629891
If it's just like vanilla, why would I bother downloading it instead of playing vanilla?
If it's not like vanilla, the question still stands, for obvious reasons.
>>337630023
definitely, it might even be better.
Then again I honestly haven;t played Doom 4 except for the shitty mp beta.
>>337630087
>answers a question with another question, completely avoiding the subject
>doesen't know what the word "customizable" means
You are fucking retarded.
>>337630023
brutal doom is an alright mod, but that's all it is, an alright mod
play the real game first and foremost
>>337623026
If you're using GZDoom, make sure you disable jumping and crouching.
Looking up and down is fine
>>337630321
I don't have to answer your question, it wasn't even directed at me.
I'm pointing out whats wrong with your argument. They're saying it's not like classic Doom. You respond that it can be made so it's closer to classic Doom. So why bother with all that when you could just play classic Doom, if that's what you're hypothetically looking for?
>>337625397
>we
>never actually played it
>>337630741
Yes, anon. That was the point of the disclaimer. The opinion is irrational, so do not take it too seriously.
>>337630691
I'll direct you to the other point in my response, then
>>doesn't know what the word "customizable" mean
>>337631025
So why bother with all that when you could just play classic Doom, if that's what you're hypothetically looking for?
>>337623332
use chocolate doom if you have the steam version and want to play the game as-is but with a mouse easily (also, it's not emulation, it's a straight port of the source as released to modern platforms), crispy doom if you want something that's pretty accurate, but a tad nicer looking and with support for Romero's new Doom wads (all engine hard limits are relaxed)
or go look for "novert.exe doom" on google and configure your autoexec so vertical mouse movement doesn't fuck with your position if you're going to play it with the original doom.exe provided with the steam version
gzdoom is fine I guess, if not terribly accurate and it'll color your experience a fucking lot -- disable vertical mouselook and unbind jumping, none of the stages are designed for it, gzdoom is mostly for playing mods, if you want to play Brutal Doom at some point, download this
tl;dr: chocolate or crispy doom to play the game as intended, gzdoom if you want to play any mods at all
Avast detects Chocolate Doom's website as a virus for no reason (generic url:mal detection, so it's pure heuristics, and Avast's heuristics are appallingly bad), so find a real antivirus first.
>>337623026
Surprisingly yes
I'm also playing it for the first time and it aged better than most PC games
Can someone with say an Sandybridge with Integrated graphics run it well
>>337631129
Do you know what mods are anon? Why not just look up Brutal Doom is that's your question?
Brutal Doom isn't that much like classic Doom, but if you have quirks with its changes, you tweak it to your liking; that's all I'm saying.
>>337631481
>wondering if a 20+ year old game will run on modern integrated graphics
If a TI-83 graphing calculator can run Doom, I'm pretty sure a Sandybridge can.
>>337624259
people hype up brutal doom like it's the best thing that's ever happened
it's an okay mod but it's not even that over-the-top. go play demonsteele if you want cuhrayzy
brutal doom is just edgy tryhard garbage
>Tfw console owner and have no idea what the fuck to do to run all these programs you guys suggested like chocolate doom
is there a nice tutorial for this . Please help, I don't want to fuck it up trying to play doom.
>>337631878
>Download ZDoom
>extract in folder
>move doom.wad and doom2.wad to same folder
>run zdoom.exe
wow it's hard.
Same thing for Chocolate Doom and all the other ports
>>337631481
As long as you don't run it on GzDoom with some intense shit mod.
Is there a way to turn off the mouse Y-axis on Doom64 EX?
Should I skip doom 3 and then move on to quake
>>337632417
Yes
>>337632334
Isn't it disabled by default?
>>337632417
People give Doom 3 a lot of shit, but it's not terrible if you look at it as a horror game. Plus Resurrection of Evil is alright, and that was a result of Doom 3.
Quake was okay for the first 2, then 3 was pretty crap, and 4 basically copied Doom 3 but did a worse job.
>>337632535
Unfortunately no.
>>337631878
First you download the source port, then you go into the Doom folder and copy the WAD file to your source port folder. You should be able to run it easily.
>>337632334
Controls->Mouse->Mouselook OFF
>>337631878
>chocolate doom/crispy doom
look for your doom wad
put in in the folder with chocolate doom
run the setup program, set your keybindings, screen resolution, mouse controls, all pretty normal stuff
when you're done, leave setup and just run chocolate-doom.exe to play the game
that's literally it, you really can't fuck it up too badly
if you have doom 2 and want to play that, copy that program folder, delete the doom.wad file and paste in doom2.wad
gzdoom is about the same too, except you configure shit with the same program you play the game with, and there's a bunch of shit to configure
also, you may or may not want to look for a wad manager if you get into mods
>>337624105
but brutal doom isnt full of ferns
Do these mods and versions of doom run on Windows 10 or Linux?
It's still fun. Blowing up monsters with shotguns and shit never gets old. However, it no longer feels gory or edgy by modern standards.
>>337633465
I dunno about Windows 10, but pretty much every sourceport has a Linux version.
