Played some Doom 64 and what can I say except:

I appreciate a game that has a double chainsaw as a "starting" weapon.

I’ve decided I’m going to become a philanthropist. Meaning I’m going to start practicing philanthropy. You guys know the Nintendo rewards thing? Just let me know if you want a wallpaper, and I’ll spend my hard earned points for you. Give me the game and the size of the wallpaper. Here’s a list of the games:

Spoiler: List

Mario
Animal Crossing
Luigi’s Mansion
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Pokémon SwSh
New Super Lucky’s Tale
Link’s Awakening
Dragon Quest XI
Hyrule Warriors

If you couldn’t tell, I’m a very rich man to be this kind.

This just reminded of something that's been on my mind. It's rant time!

I am not a fan of Inkling. I'm really not. And I don't mean the character, either. I love love LOVE Splatoon, it might be my favorite Nintendo franchise ever. But that's exactly why I feel so strongly towards Inkling in Smash. I feel they weren't represented in a way that I feel does the series enough justice.

Their playstyle is the core of my issues. Inkling is a rushdown type character, correct? I feel like their playstyle is similar to Mario, except way harder to play with, for reward that can be obtained easier from other characters like, well, Mario. Mario has simple and basic combos that are not only easy to execute, but are really effective. Inkling's moves don't string together nearly as easily, and as a result they feel like a character who requires way more brain power to use for average reward.

I'm also not a fan of the moves themselves. A lot of them feel like wet noodles when they hit, which I guess makes sense considering their skinny limbs and paint based attacks. However, this feels inaccurate to Splatoon, in which every attack feels ridiculously strong (and a lot of them are). Their aerials feel awkward to use, especially since back air of all moves is their best one, which means you constantly have to turn yourself around to land a hit. Forward air just takes to long to come out making it less reliable than back air.

I also don't like a lot of their weapon attacks. Neutral B is a joke of a move and extremely situational, which is made even more pointless because Jab is basically the same thing but way more useful, and Slosher as down smash feels weak and doesn't have very good range (pretty much the opposite of what a Slosher is like in Splatoon). Blaster Up smash and Roller side B are fine, no issues there.

I would also talk about other things I'm not a fan of with Inkling's representation on the whole, but for now I'll leave it at their moveset, as this post is already quite long. On the whole, I'm just disappointed that my most anticipated character ended up as one of the least fun newcomers for me to play as, which is unfortunate as I was hoping Inkling would be my main.

I highly disagree, but I understand the feeling.

Luigi's my favorite character in all of gaming, but after Melee, they just made him into a one note character in Smash, and overall isn't fun to play as anymore.

I do appreciate Ult giving him the Poltergust in his moveset though, something that should have been in since Brawl.

That would've been a massive shame. She's the character second-most deserving or redemption, right behind Peridot. Good thing they didn't do it.

I ordered something online a week ago and it still hasn't been shipped yet.

Hope I don't have to wait too long.

Get it. More stages, more music and more characters. More the merrier.

I appreciate that. Yeah, I saw this in the Slayer's room in Doom Eternal and was like "that'd make a good Avatar" bunny and all.

Doom 64 was my jam back in the day. Haven't gotten it on my Switch just yet but I already know it's the ****.

 

[Deleted member]

Well, I found a trash mystery island, as in literally trash. Fished up 3 tires, 6 tin cans and 3 boots so far. But hey, easy DIY recipes.

Doom 64 was my jam back in the day. Haven't gotten it on my Switch just yet but I already know it's the ****.

Truth to be told, I've been meaning to play one of the games for a long time now, never got around to actually doing it though for whatever reason. Which is funny given Doom has been ported to pretty much everything under the sun. Decided now's the best time what with the whole Doom/Animal Crossing thing going on.

Bakugan asked me to relay a message:

"I originally wasn’t going to do this, but on second thought I realized I may have been a bit too cryptic with me leaving, but I didn’t want to make the obligatory sap story “bye bye I’m leaving” post and just “Vanish Delete” my account instead because I felt that would get on yalls nerves more than if I just vanished.

I’m gonna keep this brief as possible because I don’t want this to sound like a post-mortem sap story post that I send via a tiny loophole, just a clarification.

For starters, I read a decent chunk of what y'all said about me, and while I’m not going to go into how I reacted(because again, I want to avoid that whole sap story thing) I will say that yall really missed the subtext where me just vanishing should imply I didn’t want to be talked about, yet here we are. sigh...

Most of you hit the nail on the head immediately: Yes I deleted my account voluntarily.

But none of you actually got the reason why I left correct. I want to keep the reason why I left up for interpretation, but I will say it has pretty much nothing to do with “me not fitting in,” “people no like my very specific ****posts” etc, and much more to do with my own sanity. I’ve come to hate this place, that stupid alert bell in particular, and I don’t regret what I’ve done at all.

I will say this, y'all are nice people. I can think of...like 1 person who I legit dislike in any sort of way. But I hate how if you do anything out of the ordinary, or just try to be unique in any way(such as bring an unpopular opinion to the table) 9/10 times you almost immediately become the subject of a long circlejerk effect which causes everyone to hate you. I’ll admit most of the times that happened to me, that was simply my own fault. But I’ve seen it happen way too much with other users, and that just isn’t the kinda place for me. I also don’t have a big interest in Smash anymore(when back when I first joined I was fanatical about it) so this decision, in the end, was loooooonnnng overdue.

As a somewhat obvious conclusion. I don’t plan on coming back. Ever. I’ve already had my fair share of being that one guy who goes out of line and gets shot at hard, thank you very much. But at the end of the day, when one door closes, another one opens. I won’t miss any of you tbh, but I’ve had fun here. Goodbye..."

What the hell is up with people and the alert bell, it's literally just doing its job, why do people hate it so much? It's not like you're getting constant dings on your browser.

But I hate how if you do anything out of the ordinary, or just try to be unique in any way(such as bring an unpopular opinion to the table) 9/10 times you almost immediately become the subject of a long circlejerk effect which causes everyone to hate you. I’ll admit most of the times that happened to me

yeah i don't get this one, when was the last time this happened

I won’t miss any of you tbh

points for honesty

 

[Metal Shop X]

Hey NonSpecificGuy , since you're the guy with the DoomGuy Slayer avi, do you recommend Doom 64 as a starter game for someone new to the franchise? Or do you think that, no matter what, the OG Doom or Doom (2016) are the best first Doom game?

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

That sucks to hear. I understand how you feel, Bakugan. You're a good person.

I do have Discord if you have interest in that. I know some fun speculation places.

MilkCalf I'm liking your post because of you posting what he said. Takes a friend to do that.

It's analyse time!

1. "obligatory sap story “bye bye I’m leaving”

Man this takes me back to my old forum of people leaving. Most of the time no-one cared but for certain people they were saluted when the guy was honest. Fun times.

2. "For starters, I read a decent chunk of what y'all said about me."

Proves that you still cared about what others think here if you came back and read.

3. "but I will say it has pretty much nothing to do with “me not fitting in,” “people no like my very specific ****posts” etc,"

I still think it does to do with him not fitting in. I've said that this place didn't fit him and maybe he should go somewhere else. Thankfully he has paid heed to it and set sail. His ****posting when we are talking about serious ****, drove me up the wall.

4. "But I hate how if you do anything out of the ordinary, or just try to be unique in any way(such as bring an unpopular opinion to the table) 9/10 times you almost immediately become the subject of a long circlejerk effect which causes everyone to hate you."

Maybe this would have been a good time to reflect on yourself if doing that but hey didn't care so you reap what you sow.
Also what?

5. "I won’t miss any of you tbh, but I’ve had fun here. Goodbye..."

Wow, cool. Set sail ****lord and come out a better person.
Just saying I don't hate the guy, just really knew this wasn't the right place for him.

Wait, when did he leave? I completely missed that, so I'm guessing last weekend? I didn't have anything against him, though I can't say I'll miss the constant giphy/Youtube spam. Still sad to see though.

For what it's worth, it's my first Doom and I'm very much enjoying it. You just gotta get in with the appropriate mindset, like for example, no vertical aiming and "auto-jumping" (more like running) between gaps.

Do note though that Doom 64 is missing some stuff like enemies found in other games, presumably due to lack of cartridge space. Not sure how much the re-releases added, might be worth looking into. Doom 64 has also always been that one curiosity due to being 64 exclusive, compared to OG Doom which is on everything, so it has that going for it.

If it helps, here's also a list of engine/gameplay related changes made between OG and 64,

Sad to see I won't face Arch-viles like all the big doom boy does if I do pick Doom 64 first, but beside that, thanks for answering my post.

Doom as a franchise as been on my mind alot lately, so I been tempted to get into it one way or the other, especially since FPS aren't a genre I habe much experience with, so why not start with the franchise that basically codified alot of the tropes we know about the genre?
