I'm glad to finally find someone who feels the same way I do. And I still prefer DOOM 2 to anything in Thy Flesh Consumed. DOOM 2 is far more open than the first game and in some levels it really pays of, giving the fights far more room to breathe and making them feel more grand, but because the enemy placement feels weighted towards the "unfair" end of the difficulty spectrum I found myself getting frustrated with it.Įven with the flaws, I also think DOOM 2 is brilliant, but every change the game made had massive benefits yet huge downsides too. Plain and simple, despite DOOM 2 having far more ambitious level design and greater pool of enemies, a lot of them feel experimental and void of balance, and some of the enemies added to the game, mainly the Pain Elemental, are just absolutely awful. For some reason after a recent play through of both games, I came to the same conclusion as yourself in the first being the better of the two. I've played both games several time but have never been able to decide which is the better game. Archviles though, damn what a cool new enemy with its line of site attack and resurrection powers.īoth games are amazing but in terms of replability and custom maps I think doom 2 wins everytime. Arachnotron with its never ending plasma barrage. I've probably had most of my deaths from these two enemies. Revenant are deadly with its homing missiles. The chaingunners despite being weak are seriously some of the deadliest enemies in all of doom.
With the exception of the hell knight, which is just a weaker reskin of the Baron of hell, all the new enemies all bring in something unique. The best part is despite the fact that it's so good I still find plenty of uses for the other guns. Its so satisfying and it never gets boring. The loading animation, the sound, the speed, the spread. It's so useful I measure enemy health by how many SS shots it takes to kill an enemy. Cacodemon problems? 2 hits, it's dead in a matter of seconds. Rockets are suicide in close quarters and bfg/plasma is pretty rare/situational. Trying to gun down a cacodemon with a shotgun or chaingun feels tedious. Playing through Sigil (John Romero's newest official maps for doom 1) made me realize that. The lack of the super shotgun and new enemies is what really hurts doom 1 for me.ĭoom 1 problem is that there's this gap in damage output. While I do agree that doom 1 by far has the better level design, asethitic, and atmosphere. But the original Doom was the one that nailed it. All in all, Doom II is still a great game. I did not appreciate the enemy placement and level design in Doom II that much which felt lazy rather than the result of careful planning. I understand how Doom felt more claustrophobic and some might prefer the more open space feeling in Doom II. Playing Doom II, right after the Doom, I was not impressed by the level design as much as I was about the first game. Enemy placement and the pacing were excellent. With some exceptions, levels in the first game were all carefully designed. I, however, side with the unpopular opinion that the original game is better than its sequel. On paper, Doom II should be the better game and is often regarded as such.
The game introduces an additional weapon, the iconic double-barreled shotgun and many new monsters. Doom II is a safe bet for anyone who enjoyed the original game, considering it has the same graphics and gameplay as its predecessor.
