12:26 This textual inconsistency was, of course, fixed in the Game Boy Advance and iOS ports of Doom, changing the shotgun shell pickup text from "Picked up 4 shotgun shells" to "Picked up the shotgun shells" and "Picked up shotgun shells", respectively (the latter iOS fix being made by Carmack himself, as indicated by his comment in the source code), hence not specifying the exact number of shells in the message. And that's why all true Doomers today regard the GBA and iOS ports as being the definitive way to play Doom.

That specific mix was lightening in a bottle and since they went their separate ways, I've always felt something was lost.

In some ways it makes levels with backtracking more interesting, because you may enter the same fights mutliple times from different positions.

I made a fun mod once that involved nightmare mode called "Nightmare Conquered" Basically you started with a special gun that, if you killed an enemy with it, would disable their ability to respawn. It required a special ammo that dropped from any monster that was killed, but took a lot of ammo to fire, and had a very slow reload time. It gave/gives a very methodical "conquering" aspect to the game, as you had the choice to very slowly, eventually clear out an area completely of enemies, to give yourself some breathing room, allowing you to slowly work your way out if you wished, or to use the gun to specifically take out stronger/more annoying enemies to make certain areas more tolerable. It was strong, it could one-shot a pinky, but took around 3 shots to kill a cacodemon, so if you remembered enemy's health and the damage guns deal by heart, you could just wittle them down and finish them off with the special gun to take them out.

I've played and adored the Doom franchise ever since I first played it in '94, but I never went for wads that went too much out of the original two games. I accept UV for being the ceiling of fair gameplay for us "mortals" but, despite the video section said above, no thanks!😅 Few tries in the distant past, but nope, can't stomach Nightmare, with respawning monsters being the primary reason. Only a few years ago I discovered the deliciousness of the pistol start(a whole brand new gameplay experience!) and UVed all main wads with it(Sigil included), but Nightmare will always be that bogeyman within me that I'll never be able to defeat. Thank you for yet another "yellow-background" video which I pleasantly watched!🙂

I really appreciate how forthcoming John Romero is with his knowledge and stories with all that behind the scenes stuff. So cool.

It's weird to see a hard difficulty that doesn't just turn the enemies into damage sponges who hit harder. Instead it's a quite creative difficulty with changes that I wouldn't have ever thought about.

As usual, pure pleasure to watch, man! : ) (started the 'ring' following (even if was subscribing for some time already : ) because of playing through Nightmare! DooM, looking forward to DooM II : )

John Romero actually giving insight here is really awesome. Glad he clarified why they included the Nightmare mode to begin with.

Hey Decino. I wonder if it would be possible to code a fast-monsters exception for the Arch Vile? I've heard you say in your videos that the Arch Vile is a joke with fast monsters enabled. Perhaps in your pursuit of a challenging experience, you could set it so that Archies behave as they do in UV?

Anything is possible, but I'm not going to modify gameplay mechanics.

Thanks to you decino, I started to play doom2 in nightmare difficulty with no saves! 😅 But right now, The Focus is kicking my ass!

The first major roadblock for sure!

Very informative as always! I think a nightmare monster updated tier is a must after sigil
