meatball

it is the perfect demonstration of the interaction between Doom's weapons and enemies
it has a moderately large health pool which can be frustrating however it is easily made ineffective with use of the chaingun because of its 50% pain chance, making the shotgun rather ineffective against it despite doing more damage

Wait a minute...Adrian Carmack is a phony!
HE'S A BIG FAT PHONY

>using the chaingun on cacos
if you're playing doom 1, sure. if you're on doom 2 or any .wad that uses doom2 and have the super shotty, why the fuck wouldn't you, it kills faster and cacos die in 2-3 super shotties anyways. really the cg is overall way too shit unless you're fighting hordes of weak enemies, or at a weird middle range engagement where the shotgun is bad but you don't want to use rockets.
>pain chance
If you're having trouble with one caco and need to rely on pain chance, quit life
if you're against a swarm of cacos or there's other stuff, wasting time trying to pain chance lock a single enemy while the rest of the room rapes you is a terrible idea

He's so CUTE

To quote Marge: I just think they're neat. But Pain Elementals are better.

Did you make the /vr/ thread because this one isn't doing too hot?

The only doom i played is doom 2016
I also played doom 1 with my father when i still had one. Never finished o
1 or 2

That being said, tbe little headbutting fuckers are the worst.
Especilly liked those fat cyborg globs who attacked their own just for fun

Take those headbutting fuckers now imagine a brown Cacodemon that spits those out infinitely until you kill it and upon death spawns 5 more

I said it was a demonstration of the mechanics, not how you manage every encounter

Doom 2 really ruined everything.

It's fine and I wouldn't have minded the super shotty if the chaingun wasn't made entirely useless by the existence of it. The SS is balanced nicely against all the enemies added in Doom 2, but spending 30 seconds chaining an archvile compared to just SS'ing it three times is dumb. Making the chaingun fire 50% faster would have been enough.

its a shame the SSG is so OP with massive damage and shitloads of hitscans effectively stunning even archviles effectively
the new monsters are so much better design and more fun than Doom 1's hitscanner, more hitscanner, imp, big imp, flying imp, chasing melee and charging melee

Close, but the answer is Pain Elemental.

upity

Hoppity

Too bad they don't have a bite attack.

He's saying that the Pinkies are headbutters, not the lost souls.

And I agree, making the pinky a ramming enemy that you have to double jump dodge and then shoot in the back was unfun and annoying.

Who makes these? They're great

Mancubus or agitated skeletons are definitely the best, all of Doom's enemy designs are still leaps and bounds above what other shooters offer unfortunately.

>The snorkeling Lost Soul
My sides have gone to hell

what an mess

He did, but he was also the main man behind the super shotgun so I can't fault him too much.

it literally stops the fun

They're cute, but their corpses are too tall, and in slaughtermaps that can be annoying

I love that one
