Last night at around 1:15 am my time I downloaded and booted up Romero's birthday present to DOOM on its 30th birthday, SIGIL II. I whacked the difficulty on Ultraviolence, because I'm an idiot, and the picture on the left above is what greeted me. I added the picture on the right so you can compare it with the game on Hurt Me Plenty, which is honestly what I probably should have started on but didn't because, as I already pointed out, I'm an idiot.
Literally the first thing you have to do is survive this, and what you can't see is that behind me there's a big wall, and walking on top of that wall are way too many imps ready to rain fire down on my head as I try to dodge the fireballs from the three bastards in front of me and hopefully not get shotgunned to death. It took me roughly twenty minutes to get to a point in the proceedings where I could be said to have made any progress at all, progress that I then immediately shitcanned when I sat down to play again at a far more reasonable hour. I can't even get into the stuff that came after this, which included a Cyberdemon just roaming around and functioning less as an enemy to be overcome and more as a mobile rocket turret to be avoided and to discourage the player (me) from staying outside for more than was absolutely necessary.
Come join me under the jump and I'll get into my impressions a little more, won't you?
