<div class="IPBDescription">The Doom Roguelike thread</div>Knock knock! Who's there? Me me me me me me me ME!

<a href="http://doom.chaosforge.org/" target="_blank"><img src="http://doom.chaosforge.org/images/ss_surrounded.png" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /></a>

I was bored and decided to check out the Doom Roguelike again and discovered that they <i>finally</i> came out with a new version. It now has difficulty levels, a persistent stat system with ranks and challenges, more skills and a bunch of other neat stuff.

So I decided to celebrate by making this thread. Rip, tear, shoot, and generally enjoy yourself with this great game.

Allow me to communicate to you my desire to have your posts!

    !

    I LOVE Doom Rougelike. The pervisou version I played SO much. I never even got really far, but I did get to a level where there were too many barons and I decided to blow one up with my rocket launcher at point blank range (I was at 8% hp anyways) and go out with style. It was great.

    It's actually much harder in the new version. There are now 3 rounds, and each has cacodemons. Although I always seem to have a combat shotgun by the time I get to it now, so that sort of balances it out.

    Doom3 is great!.. The first two hours you play it.
    The atmosphere is better than HL2, still more one-wayed. (A new word I think I just invented)
    After some time you just get tired of all the screamers. And it just isn't scary anymore.

    "Oh no, there is a demon throwing fireballs while screaming out real loud behind that computer".

    *Shotgun-Boom* The End for the demon =(

    I think you spend 80% of the game killing those... fireball dudes...

    Now just make sure you save up all your BFG ammo for some huge fight that you are sure to come. Or keep it for the very last boss fight... Only to realise that it doesn't work on the last boss... Just like I did.

    Not that I've heard of any of those 100 point reviewers before, but Times Online loses any modicum of dignity, reliability or integrity with:

    <!--QuoteBegin-Times Online+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Times Online)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->For all the game’s <b>overblown dramatics</b>, however, the experience <b>lacks subtlety </b> and is <b>disappointingly low on style</b>. Doom 3 <b>has its flaws</b>, but remains a graphical, audio and visual tour de force.

    <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    That seems worth 100 points, sign me up for that...
    (and please remind me again of the difference between <i>graphical</i> and <i>visual</i> in relation to computer science?)
