According to the official hint book it says: To Big Bad Wolf De Little Red Riding Hood Eliminate Hitler Imperative Complete mission within 24 hours Out

I was born in Ragequit City, but moved to F*cK this Sh!t Town at an early age. I tried playing E2M2 twice already but quit soon. Not because of frustration but because I realized that I don't have time to finish it. I'm not looking forward to playing it, but I'll sure be happy when it's done.

Thanks, fixed it!

Thanks! I'm not sure about it either. I had a quick look at map 2 today, and it looks like it's another maze. If it really is, I'm going to be so disappointed. I liked this first map, though.

​@@explodingfishplays Map 02 of Episode 2 is my worst nemesis of the episode. It's an extremely confusing box crate maze also it's very big. You won't be satisfied either. This next map will drive you crazy going for a 100% or atleast for the time this game came out.

@@DarkStormYT That's what I thought when I played it from the start. It looked confusing so I played for a while but didn't have time to explore it properly. It may be that I won't be able to record next week if it's really difficult because I'll be busy with other stuff starting tomorrow.

​@@explodingfishplays no problem man, take your time.

Thanks! I also tried doing this with the chaingun like Zero Master, but I think my best result was only 37/41 kills. It was so much easier with the rocket launcher that it doesn't feel like a massive achievement, but I'm still happy getting 100%.

So did I, but then I saw the video where it's done with a chaingun, so I couldn't resist trying it as well. I also tried looking for other videos with 100% kills with a rocket launcher but found only one, which is surprising considering that it's apparently not an impossible task. I mean, if you can wipe out all the demons, why leave a few alive? EDIT: I guess you technically still die, but at least you get to take everyone else with you.

@@explodingfishplays Yeah, I believe Doomguy dying with his combat boots on is the canon ending and you get the same text screen regardless. Not that it matters that much anyway, even the designers themselves seemed to be more interested in the gore than the lore.

@@rockdiesel9141 I think the fact that the final map doesn't have an intermission screen with the score says it all. But it's satisfying to know that you were the last man standing (for one second).

My mama always used to say that it's not a party without fireworks.

Thank you!

That's probably why I don't like this level that much. It's just one shitty surprise after another. And yeah, if you think about it, it certainly feels like UAC designed the base with demons in mind so that they'd have a lot of nice hiding places. They even made the buttons big enough for the demons to press with their massive paws.

@@explodingfishplays This is one area where the reboot surpasses the original. While any map in Doom 2016 is obviously just a series of interlinked combat arenas where you get to murk insane amounts of demons, this time your survival is based on you honing your skills and upgrading your arsenal, not on rote memorization. Turn up the difficulty and you will be challenged, but it never feels unfair. From your point of view, at least. The poor eviscerated demons may see it differently.

@@rockdiesel9141 That's true. Although these old one's require a certain amount of skill, survival depends more on memorizing where everything is and what happens next.

I love it. I'm going to play through the basic games with the regular game, but I think I'll use Voxel Doom on the other wads.

Having now played through the entire episode 1, I've noticed that there are some questionable design choices in the later maps. The next one, in particular, was surprisingly annoying.

I guess I have to try it now. I just downloaded it, now I only have to learn to launch it. I assume it should work with GZDoom?

I managed to get it running by just dragging the zip file on the GZDoom.exe, but the game keeps crashing after a couple of seconds. Any ideas how to fix that?

@@explodingfishplays Dragging a file on an executable is a weirdly nerdy way to launch a program, indeed 🤓. Anyway, doing that lets me choose between graphics APIs. Depending on your hardware, switching from Vulkan to OpenGL or vice versa could help with stability issues. OpenGL seems to work with my system, but every PC is different. Also, deselecting fullscreen mode in addition to all the extra bells and whistles could be helpful while troubleshooting.

After some testing and tinkering, I may have found the problem. Voxel Doom doesn't seem to like software mode very much. So, make sure you have hardware rendering turned on in the display options. Hope this helps.

I didn't see your message until now, but I did manage to get Voxel Doom running just before I read it. The solution: switching to hardware rendering. It is awesome and runs like butter.

That's a good one! 😀

😀 I've seen videos of it, but never tired it myself. So basically it's just regular Doom with Simpsons characters as monsters?

That was a glorious moment. I tried playing this on an easier difficulty, but it felt more like a barren wasteland than a demonic invasion. I can't imagine playing this any other way now.

This was a fun one! But so far every map in Episode 1 has been great.

It's such an elegant effect when an explosion send a zombie man flying before he's ripped to shreds. It always brings a smile to my face.

Yeah, this felt like a good pace. There were already so many enemies that I had to progress one step at a time.

I might have practiced once or twice... but now I got the urge to play F.E.A.R again.

Yeah, I'm sure that on more difficult maps I need to play smarter and pay attention to conserving ammo instead of rushing into situations.

I was surprised that I found any secrets at all on the first time. Now that I can concentrate 100 % on playing, many of the secrets are pretty obvious..

Yes, it was definitely Satan, not me. 🙄

Thank you!

Mostly satisfying though. The only problem is that I love the shotgun so much that I don't want to use any other weapons.

Do you mean the status bar on the bottom? Is there an issue with it?

​@@explodingfishplays not that. I meant the stats. Kills, Secrets and Items

@@DarkStormYT Thanks! I eventually figured that out and made it larger. I wasn't sure if it was interesting to anyone but myself so I figured it might be distracting for the viewers if it's too big.

Thanks! I'm sure it's going to be fun!

It has "trap" written all over it, but what can you do? I just had to press the button.

Haha! Maybe I'll upload the rest of the video sometime later. This is from that same "Playing Doom for the first time" video. I cut out the last 15 minutes because I knew no one would watch the full 45 minutes anyway (the average view duration is 2 minutes now). I thought it's better to just show a couple of funny moments instead.

I really thought I could shoot from the window. 😅 But it's the fun part in learning new games when you don't know the mechanics and imagine all the things you can do, and then fail in most hilarious ways.

I can't say that I hate it, but I've learned my lesson. 😂

The gameplay is just incredibly good, even without the ability to jump and all that stuff. I want to try the new Kex port, though, to see what's changed and to hear the new soundtrack.

I already started recording the playthrough of Episode 1 without commentary, so I'll do that without (it's also faster to do for me because I can concentrate only on playing). But if it turns out that people like videos like these, perhaps I'll do more in the future. Ive already decided that I'll do at least one like this when starting to play a new game because it's fun to record the first thoughts.

Just based on the first few levels, it's a huge leap forward compared to Wolfenstein. I recently watched a video where John Romero and John Carmack discussed various aspects of Doom's level design and how the creative possibilities are almost endless.

Enjoy the warm-up, 'cause next Moon's Day will be Doomsday!

It might make the gameplay easier if you could jump, but I think I'll go with vanilla experience, at least on the first playthrough.

Thank god. Overall my experience was that it's easier to make sense of places because everything doesn't look the same.

Ok, that's good to know. I didn't realize there were things in the game that you have to get right the first time. I have to pay attention to that when I do the actual playthrough.

Have to find that during the playthrough then! I was afraid that the video would get boring if I spent more time humping the walls.

When I watched this video again, I realized that I should've known that. I've watched a ton of other people's videos where it happens and I've heard people refer to infighting, but I didn't make the connection when I was in the middle of the game. 🙈
