I wouldn't say that loud, bethesda may put Rage for 49.99 + 24.99 for The Scorchers ; )
The game is fun as hell, except for non existent ending..
Let us hope missing games will be released sooner than later.

I actually save the Scorchers DLC for after the main game as it has an actual ending/boss fight... even if it is unrelated to the main story.

He wasn't talking about money. >;)

Speaking of Doom, can anyone enlighten a clueless guy like me: Were there any significant differences between Doom and Doom II, or is Doom II just like Doom with new levels? I played Doom at a friends' house back in the days but I don't remember which version or if I played both. The screenshots seem to look almost the same.

Similar engine. Doom 2 introduced a new weapon, the double barreled shotgun. Also if memory serves the beasties were slightly changed or added to. Nothing major. Although like you, it was years since I played either.

Never in a million years did I think I would see so much of this silliness. The game was laughed at for the use of the flashlight, now people are crying for it back. I don't get it.

Nothing but a loud mouthed minority. Those of us who liked the mechanic weren't making noise because why complain about a good thing?

Even if you consider the suit light in BFG edition to be a good change there are plenty of other stupid changes that spoil the experience like faster movement speed and RIDICULOUS increase to the quantity of ammo you get from pickups.

Doom 3 was supposed to be a slower paced horror shooter with emphasis on atmosphere.

Thanks!

What does that mean exactly? Aren't there level end screens anymore in Doom 2? Or can you backtrack to earlier levels? Or do you just mean it's one gigantic complex, split into levels of which you have to imagine that they directly connect to each other, while in the first Doom the story takes places in several disconnected locations?

Oh for fuck's sake... Just bought this a few months ago. Kinda pissed now. How about making it eligible for Steam Connect?

In Doom 1 you have 3 episodes (4 in Ultimate Doom, basically an old expansion to the base game) with 8 levels (+1 secret level) per episode. You complete the 8 levels and it tells you congratulations, now go play the next episode! The next episode starts you off with a pistol and you complete the next 8 levels. Basically you can play any of the four eight level episodes in any order you want, even though the story expects you to play them in order. While they dropped the episodes in Doom II they returned to them in Quake 1. Instead of selecting episodes from the menu like in Doom you'd have a hub level where you could play the episodes in whatever order you preferred.

Doom 2 has 30 levels (+2 secret levels) that you complete from start to finish with no 'end' to an episode. It of course still has story screens from time to time but there aren't episode 'breaks' that return you to the main menu to choose the next episode... or skip ahead if so inclined.

That's exactly why I'm interested in it. A post-apocalyptic shooter from id Software, I'd love to play it.

The way I intend to play it is in co-op. Everything is better in co-op.

Actually I remember reading that the unofficial patch fixes all the crashing bugs on STEAM, which is why a I had it bookamarked. Whether that's actually the case, I don't know, and I'm clueless as to where to start searching for a source, so don't quote me on it.

It actually makes me kind of sad, because quite a few good games were rejected, because GOG considered them too niche. I'm not going to comment on that, as I'm sure they have some numbers to back up their claims, but I would have liked some of those games DRM-Free.

Wasn't the DLC the only co-op part of the game? I doubt it would come to GOG, unless somebody adds Galaxy support. I think I just convinced myself to get it on STEAM.

Yes, I suppose so. I played it in single player mode, and your AI partner is very unreliable when it comes to reviving you. You're basically on your own.

Seems to be a gamble. For some people it works, for other it doesn't, and you have no way of knowing who these people are, what system setup they used, what they actually did to try and fix it etc. The annoying part though is that the game-breaking bugs may only occur later in the game or at specific spots, so you won't know right from the start whether it's safe to play. Then again, it's very cheap at the moment.

I see, thanks!

Heretic, Hexen, Heretic II, Hexen II, and the Original Doom 3.... That would be awesome.

RAGE would be good if the game wasn't so meh.

+1 for OG Doom 3

It's cool having to predict where enemies' heads would be after switching from the torch, it adds strategy and an extra thing to consider during combat, similar to RE 4 and 5's stop'n'pop shooting making you consider where you'll plant your feet.

Not going to pay a bad port team to take that away from me.
