Continuing the channel's Halloween special, we got Doom 2.

I mentioned in my Final Doom videos that my favourite Doom game is the 1st, and the 2nd I don't like as much. Well here is why: the later levels become ridiculous mazes that are almost impossible to figure out without walking around like a dumb ass through multiple empty corridors. This by the way is one of Doom's shortcomings: walking around in circles while trying to desperately find were to go or where that stupid key is.

Either way, this does have really good mechanics that are brand new. The new Super Shotgun is awesome, the new enemies are great, the music is upgraded and overall the game is still extremely fun, id Software holocaust type gameplay straight to Columbine... but for the price of level design being kinda shitty, something that they tried to fix and couldn't too well with Final Doom. Hence why Final Doom might be a better game in my opinion, it had more texture, more meat to the steak so to speak.

Anyway, I still like playing this from time to time, though at that point in FPS games I was more into Blood and Duke Nukem 3D than Doom which sort of lost it's appeal... and then as you know, Quake dropped, and that changed my entire level in the late 90s. Never since have I played such a awesome FPS like Quake, and I think I won't ever play something as bad ass as that.

Thank you for watching, happy Halloween.
