I'm kind of coming around to that point of view, really. I used to prefer AC more than AA but the sense of place in AA is the best in the series, and the metroidvania feel of the gameplay was really cool. And while I agree some of the boss fights are pretty generic, there are some really great ones. I love the Scarecrow stuff, and the killer croc segment is great.
Never played Doom II. It sounds brutal, from what I hear.
That Duke It Out In Doom crossover mod is almost enough to make me want to buy a copy..

I think i've finished that one found it to be easier. Also they ****ed up one of the levels forgot which one it was, But they tryget you to find some of the keys and yet the door to the exit is freely accessible...
So, is Doom II harder then Duke Nukem 3d? Especially "Rebirth"?

Because I'm totally playing Rebirth from the Atomic Edition.
Games just UNFAIR sometimes.
But somehow, in a good way. Just gotta keep remembering to save every few steps.

I will say that AC was a fantastic take on an open world and still retain what Asylum did so bloody well.
I just felt the Riddler trophies were out of place in most cases with AC. And my favourite part of Asylum, the take pictures based on a word riddle puzzles to be a bit disappointing in AC.
I just find a bit weird in AC where you constantly attack bad guys and then they respawn while Asylum creates a story based reason for bad guys respawning.
they didn't amp up the difficulty with Duke 3D's new episode with the Atomic edition. Also there's a new episode now which they added with 20th Anniversary World tour, Haven't tried it out myself.
I've probably spent more on Duke then any series.. Original classic disk, Duke it Out in D.C., and Kill-A-Ton.
All damaged or lost, except the basic disk. (Only reason I can even play Atomic is finding an "abandoned" copy years back..)
Only one I'll never get is that Forever joke..

The free 3d realms version of Shadow Warrior off Steam:
That game's ridiculous. It was designed to kick your ass.
Seriously, try it. Tell me if you even get off the boat before dying.

Second hardest. Compared to Doom or Duke3d, most monsters are basically aimbots that move as fast as a hornet and takes a ton of damage. A few have one hit kills.

Brutal Doom with the metal mod makes it into a different game, what with shotgun zombies becoming crazed machinegunners and all.. Plus all the excess, blood, gore.
But my favorite is the Duke3d mod. If ID and 3drealms did a joint project with a Duke in hell easter egg, they would have made a billion dollars.

Setting the blood to "Overdrawn at the blood bank" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Classic one? You must be pretty good then, the forums are full of people who claim it's pretty tough. The red guy (Alone, and as a group), and the shadow looking guy have all stomped me pretty bad. The half dozen or so mobs right after the home where you pick up the grenade launcher were a problem until I figured out about the machinegun placement. And even at the start, I died about five or six times by the guy at the barred window, the ones in the cave, or the one on the bridge... They never, ever seem to miss, and can nail you all the way across the map. The snake boss also took quite a few retries, mainly because before he dies his skull grenades become a lot more aggressive. Had him to a sliver, then boom.
For me, Duke 3d or Thy Flesh Consumed on the second hardest is gravy by comparison.
If I ever get Doom II, I'll try it out.
Seems like all the really good mods are for Doom II. It's also really hard to find a 32 map megawad that's compatible with Ultimate Doom, which is what they recomnend for progressive spawn play on PB (Best I could find is "How Id did it")

And is it compatible with Project Brutality, as far as you know?
I'll be playing it "vanilla style" first regardless... Looking at the new enemy types, it seems like Doom II and Quake had a kid.

Textures and such look pretty bad, but its compatible.. May as well try it out.
