I'm actually done with BD

[Reisal]

I do however use Doom Expanded instead. It accomplishes the same thing as BD, without being overly ridiculous and still keeps the classic Doom feel while being fresh. I tried Beautiful Doom but I didn't like it too much.

I do the same with my RDND mod, atop not really being into Beautiful Doom as well.

Yeah i was wondering what happent to mark, the EA of doom. Hes gone silent on everything, but then again theres this new gustavo guy that was hiving around lately.

He was banned off of almost all doom related forums due to his attitude, the fact that he told people to kill themselves and even said he's "worse than Hitler". The worst part? He says these are jokes. Jokes.

Yea, I'm not surprised he's banned from here and Zandronum forums but not Doomworld (yet). He probably knows the staff have little tolerance for stupid bullshit antics he pulled elsewhere.

I look at some of the more elaborate mods I've played over the years - UTnT, DE, WF, LoS, BTSX, UAC Ultra, etc and I lament the fact that .WADs like those didn't get the coverage BD did, when they are all much more indicative of where the scene is at (I actually rate UTnT's final boss battle as one of my all-time favourites in terms of games in general, not just Doom). Where's their spot in PC Gamer?

It's like those idiots on Kotaku only like the mods that will stir up controversy among the gaming community.

That's the way that 80% of all journalism works: Who wants to read that everything is fine, that everything is OK?
Saying that something is spectacularly aweseome/controversal/horrible... gets way more peoples attention.

I'd just like to announce that I am no longer playing Barney Doom. I am calling it quits with this mod.


I'm sorry, but IMO, the fact that there was a perceived need to announce that a person is quitting BD and that there is a 4 page discussion about said announcement is just as problematic as any of the other nonsense that has gone on around BD. And yeah, I'm adding to the discussion.

Yeah but he made the Brutal Video Vault so I guess it's not like any random member making a thread about stopping playing

I'm gonna say what many others said and say that I just don't like brutal doom. It feels weird to me. :/

I suppose there is that. But he didn't post all 4 pages.

[Reisal]

Enjay, I have been considering making an announcement on total abandonment of the mod for a while not so that is why I ended up making it earlier this week to finally get through with it and not leave my subscribers wondering why the posting of BD themed videos dried up sometime in October (and the recording of my last BD videos back last February). The Brutal Video Vault is no more, it is the Doom Video Vault now and focused on general Doom stuff mostly, typically playthroughs of PWADs.

Same. I also undid the terminator 2 dmaud changes to my doom.wad after realizing that movie was 24 years ago and arnold's lines fell out of the lingo

You're evidently not quite yet done with Brutal Doom since you started a thread to talk about it.

I don't like the mod myself, but what I like less is how these discussions keep starting again and again. If we really don't like it, why do we keep bringing it right back to the center of discussion?

[leileilol]

similarly i'm starting to have regrets in putting in the "Brutal" blood option in Engoo now. should have called it 'psychopath mode'

[Doomguy 2000]

Here we go again on another Brutal Doom thread. So far it's mostly people complaining about the wad itself, but what people seem to forget to mention that the coding is also a mess with plenty of bugs still in the mod. At one point in time, the posts on the Doomworld Facebook page used to be visible for the whole public before it's just members only. There were a good number of posts of people talking about Brutal Doom. There was this one kid who wanted something else similar that wasn't made by Sergeant Mark IV, and that post had a good number of replies.

What Doomguy 2000 said.

My favorite feature of Brutal Doom was the Marine-bots, really. I was amazed they could follow you around anywhere in the level and were actually useful.

Of course, once Hideous Destructor added a similar functionality, guess how much playtime Brutal DooM started getting on my PC?

You could call it "Nosebleed Mode". Some of the kiddies seem unduly... turned on by excessive gore.

If you don't want everyone and their dog asking "??!", you could instead name it "Bloodlust". It's descriptive, plus hints at being punched to death by ogres. Win/win!(?)

Not hardcore enough. Go with BlüdLüst

But then we're right back where we started.
