Saturn of Elemia Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Quite possibly one of the better FPS game series ever made. Gotta love being able to blow the spawns of Hell back to.....Hell. Which game(s) in the series was/were your favorite? Also, which demon was your favorite? Personally, I'm still a fan of the original. It had the best storyline IMO.As for favorite demon, I like the Cacodemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've never played Doom 1 and 2, only Doom 3 and Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil. I prefer the Hellknight or the Beserker. The Cacodemon reminded me of a floating balloon, too easy to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 In the original in the first stage of Episode 3, you are left with a pistol to take out 2 Cacodemons in the beginning (if you're playing on Ultra Violence. You have to basically try and get the 2 Cacodemons to hurt each other to save ammo. Hellknights are a pain. They are just weaker versions of the Barons of Hell in 1,2, Doom 64, and Final Doom.

ragnarok1945 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 please, the Hellknights were a joke by the time of Ressurection of Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 They were a joke from the start. Seriously, you could take them out with a normal shotgun with relative ease. They took roughly half the ammo it took to take down a Baron of Hell and they did less damage. You only really encounter them alongside Barons of Hell...

ragnarok1945 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 the Hellknights were always a joke in Doom 3 and its expansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 They were probably the weakest in Doom 64. Speaking of Doom 64, it was the only game to have the Shadow Imps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 How do they differ from the regular imps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The Shadow Imps were basically the same as the Spectres. Hard to see - and it didn't help that Doom 64 was an extremely dark game. In terms of strength and durability, they were no different from regluar Imps.

ragnarok1945 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 big deal, so was Doom 3. The lighting sucked throughout the whole game. That's why in the expansion they had to make it slightly brighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 At least you were given the option of a flashlight in Doom 3. There was no such option in Doom 64 and you often found yourself walking around in ABSOLUTE darkness - even if you had the brightness turned up on your TV and in the options. Not the best position to be in when there were Spectres on the loose... On another note, another cheap enemy in the Doom series was the Revenant. With those homing rockets and a mean right hook, they were a pain to deal with. The good side was that their endurance was low and they were good crowd clearers if you could turn them on the other demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Yoshi Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Doom = Awesome.Doom 3 scared me the first Time I played it XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 The original and the 64 versions were the only ones that scared me when I played them. Now, I just laugh when I blow the demons to bits with my Super Shotgun. The Chainsaw was also a nice weapon to use. The coolest one was the 64 version since it had 2 blades. The message when you got it was also cool: Find some meat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Mode was one of the Doom franchises's specialties. A mode where a BFG9000 won't take you very far (provided you manage to live long enough to actually find one) is something to fear. And we all know what BFG stands for, now don't we? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 yeah well I never really found the BFG 9000 as versatile as it seems in Doom 3. Unless you fully charge up the shot, the Hellknight will survive the blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splash damage would've done quite a number on them, though. Any other enemy would get slaughtered by it (except for an Archvile unless it was RIGHT next to the initial blast).

Saturn of Elemia Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 They had to tune down the archvilles in Doom 3 because it summoned too many Hellknights too quickly The Archviles summoned monsters from out of nowhere in Doom 3, though. (From what I understand). In the other games, they could only resurrect monsters that you already killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 That's true. The Archvile in Doom 3 is more of a teleporter summoner, it can teleport any demons of any strength to your location in a split second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 And how about that Cyberdemon? Doom 3 was the only game that had a specific way to get rid of it, as opposed to the others where there were stages containing several of these mechanized monsters...
