Soft Core Porn is cool, but I've never seen anyone brave enough to write an article about it. I congratulate thee.

Personally I think Thunderpeak is kinda cool, but I was really underwhelmed when I played it. Some people seem to think it's one of the best wads of all time or something. It's like a 7.5/10 for me. Nice visuals, but the actual design is nothing special really. I wonder if the public opinion was boosted because it's a good map in a poor collection. (I haven't played the actual map pack though, so it's entirely possible @jerrysheppy is correct). Also, as @Endless said, the jump in difficulty in Scythe 2 is really abrupt. It felt forced and uninspired, not really a "damn, now it's getting intense" thing so much as a "oh, I guess we're doing slaughter now just bcuz" feeling. I also think map23 onward is the weakest part of the wad in general.

I don't... have I done something terrible?

That sounds amazing, Star Wars is such an underrated franchise. Hopefully we get to play as *insert Star Wars character that only 0.5% of non-virgins are aware of* for more than five minutes. I can't wait to spend $10 on a Doomguy skin for Baby Yoda. Maybe even some Marvel skins, who wouldn't want to see Mando with Hulk shorts on? I'd drop at least $5 for that. Already have some money saved up so I can get Cap America's shield as a charm on my gun. Damn, I haven't been this excited since they killed Joel in The Last of Us Remake Part II.

Nah, it was a shitty collection that consisted of 99.5% shit/broken maps (and duplicates of shit/broken maps), 0.45% mediocre maps and 0.05% okay maps. It contained copyright-violating material (which I have no moral problem with) that only adds to the shitty "throw in every piece of shit we can find" feeling of the CD. Maximum Doom is only unknown to people who aren't into Classic Doom, everyone here knows about it already. Most of them haven't played it, because there's little reason to unless you're curious/a masochist/Matt. It is not in any way a "good expansion". Just ask Matt. The CD is a curiosity and a meme, and a reminder of simple times, but it was never a quality product.

I love how this has already become a meme in the community lol. What a disaster, that thing.

No offense but this is not a very good review, or at least not one that needs its own thread. The map-by-map review format tells very little about the maps and is very vague. You name both the "best map in the wad" and the "worst map in the wad" as well as a map that is "tied for the worst map in the wad" when you've only completed 12/32 maps in the wad. One of the maps you pretty much didn't even review, and as Andromeda pointed out, your reviews for another two maps contain misinformation. It's also extremely redundant, with the term "DOOM2" being used 16 times overall, and "Hell Revealed" being used over 25 times. Sorry to be a dick, but your style needs some work. You also didn't need to post a link to dosbox, the .txt file, or stuff like [[[Free image hosting provided by the ImgBB website. Upload and share your images. ImgBB website]]] It almost makes the whole thing look AI-generated and is just odd. Also, I disagree with the fact that the visuals are "completely forgettable" - you haven't even completed half of the mapset. Some later maps are very memorable, albeit simplistic. And if you're finding map13 to be "atrociosly difficult", you're not going to like this wad.

He lives here: 120 Conch Street. Teach this sick fucker a lesson.

I hope he screws me really hard for Xmas

Exactly the same for me, save for the fact that I don't mind some light survival elements in some games, and I used to like Warcraft 3. I would probably add "most racing games" to the list too, as well as grand strategy games.

It actually makes perfect sense, though, that Mayor Arlane has kidnapped the Cacowards, along with rj. Consider the following information to help you come to your own conclusion:

I looked at it earlier (when the other thread was still open) for about 30 seconds and it seemed okay, but I didn't look thoroughly enough to realize it was a lazy AI fest. Here are my thoughts that are written by me, written by ChatGPT: To the Doomworld community, I am writing this message to address a topic that has been bothering me for some time now. As many of you are aware, there has been some buzz in the Doom community about a new website called The Doom Awards. While competition can often bring about innovation and improvement, I must say that I am disappointed with the direction this new website has taken. My main concern is the use of AI in the articles on the Doom Awards. As someone who has been a fan of Doom for many years, I believe that one of the best things about the annual Cacowards on Doomworld is the dedication and hard work put into the articles by the editors. These articles are not only informative, but also entertaining to read, and it is clear that a lot of effort goes into them. On the other hand, the articles on The Doom Awards are written by AI and lack the personality and charm that the Cacowards articles possess. While I understand that AI technology is advancing and has its uses, I believe it is not a suitable replacement for the human touch when it comes to writing. The articles on The Doom Awards come off as robotic and lack the passion and understanding of the Doom community that the Cacowards articles have. Furthermore, I cannot help but feel that The Doom Awards is simply trying to compete with the Cacowards rather than creating something unique and valuable for the community. The drama surrounding the launch of The Doom Awards and its attempts to discredit the Cacowards only solidify this belief. Doomworld's Cacowards have been a staple in the Doom community for over a decade, and I find it disrespectful to try and overshadow their achievements. In conclusion, I would like to urge the community to support Doomworld's Cacowards and the hard work put into them each year. While competition can be healthy, let us not forget the value and dedication that goes into creating the Cacowards articles, and let us not let a poorly written AI system take its place. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. -TheMagicMushroomMan and OpenAI Playground
