Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 124709, member: 6930"] I'll be honest, I used to really like Brutal Doom around the v17-v18 in the early to mid 2010's and it helped getting me into that old FPS but after a while I started to feel that it was not as great as people claimed it to be. I just dislike how people (who barely play Doom) pretend that it de facto [I]replaces [/I]the original game and repeat that one quote about one of the devs (Romero I think) telling that if BD came out in '93 it would've destroyed the Video Game industry. And when there's a new mod or Megawad people are telling how it's not compatible with Brutal Doom which is getting seriously annoying after a while. I don't like when it messes up the map balance so I think if I wanted gore and blood sprinkled over Doom I'd rather use Ketchup/Bolognese/Nash's Gore Mod to get the aesthetic of BD without the balance change. Project Brutality tried to be Brutal Doom++ but sometimes I'd say that [I]less is more[/I]. That was my "small" rant about BD. I will probably try Extermination Day someday... Absolutely. While I am all for having teens getting introduced to the classics I feel that it's an "unauthentic" experience to give to them. My other "small" rant is how GZDoom is basically a Frankenstein creature of a sourceport to the point I almost consider it more like porting Half-Life 1 to the Source engine, same game but a largely different engine that adds a lot more features. And to be honest I'm not fan of the default options like making every sprites blurry or how resolution is dynamic without having any preset left... GZDoom is good for advanced maps and gameplay mods but objectively is one of the worst for vanilla experience compared to Crispy Doom or DSDA. [/QUOTE]
