"RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS! YOU ARE HUGE! That's what I did with DOOM ETERNAL.

Well, if I had a beefier PC, I'd play The Dark Ages, which is coming soon. But I'll watch an Ultra Nightmare playthrough instead.
It's cool that we'll be able to control mechs and ride a dragon, but I'm worried these sections will overstay their welcome.

I love that there's still a really dedicated community of people making level packs and mods for DOOM and DOOM 2. I actually follow the Doomerboards community packs since they always release a big one for Christmas and I've made it a tradition to play one with friends in co-op now.

I LOVE this one. It's maybe my favorite of them all still and I've gone through it like three times.

Also you gotta get SELACO

It's made with GZDoom. This is technically a massive Doom mod!

i really enjoyed my last foray into gzdoom with VoxelDoom https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-voxel-project

pure blasphemy for oldskool doom enthusiasts, but for some reason just feels right to me. i've always had a mild like, annoyance is putting it too strongly, ESPECIALLY when there is vertical freemouse movement, when you see the sprites kinda squish down a little to emulate perspective. that has always looked wrong to me and VoxelDoom fixes that feeling completely for me

played a tiny bit of the kex Doom 1 + 2 port, its really quite good preconfigured out the box, very little adjustments needed and lots of extra goodies etc. a very polished package, as it should be in current year for a doom release really. i think i still mildly prefer my experience with gzdoom and open modding it as a whole, but for something that essentially 'just works' the kex Doom 1 + 2 is perfectly acceptable imo.

I'll be that annoying purist Doom fan but GZDoom is its own engine and you don't need to own Doom to be able to run it therefore I'd consider it more like a GZDoom game (like how Ion Maiden/Fury is a Build Engine game not a Duke3D mod).

Ashes 2063 and its sequel and prequel are everything I could want in a post-apoc WAD (well, mostly missing energy weapons >_>), and all three are even in standalone format now.

Indeed Ashes was AMAZING, right from the start I was hooked. To think someone can make stuff that quality... simply amazing, Vostyok did an amazing work

Sometimes I ask myself how people can make mods and their own fully fledged games by themselves, as someone who has tried to do both things and actively progresses on it... It's one hell of a challenge, one they somehow have mastered.

I forgot to say that I've finished the first Episode of FreeDoom: Outpost Outbreak.

It was a bit boring in the first levels but I find the latest two quite interesting. It still has that bootleg feel but ultimately the Freedoom monsters scares me a bit more than Doom's.

More Doom The Dark Ages gameplay released internet-wide today... and yep, this game looks slow, simple, and casual experience.

I've never been less excited for a Doom game in my life. I just feel no hype.

I still need to kick myself to play Eternal and its two DLCs but eh...

As for Dark Ages, I feel that the whole "third episode being a prequel" is kinda overused and that they should've made a new solo Quake game...
