Playing through Requiem now, didn't know it was a map pack made in the 90's, well so far the maps are sort of straightforward to play and the monster difficulty is reasonable. Aesthetically speaking there is nothing great looking about it, same standard doom textures with a few custom textures which makes it more quake looking.
Also so far doom mods that I find acceptable to play is Lambda, D4T (Death For Threshold? forget its name) and Brutal Doom. I need to look up on Youtube to check out for other Doom weapon mods that may be good to play, but most of them don't even bother adding visual effects to their weapons so I skipped a lot of mods because of that. Embers of Armageddon is too grindy for me considering I need to purchase those upgrades again for every playthrough because it is not permanent, had to tweak D4T mod credit amount since standard credit drop is ridiculous low.
Fucking hell. It is 2025 already and there is no other shooter game I could play instead which is not doom. Because there is no other active community for a FPS game that constantly adds new stuff like maps and mods. For some fucking reason everyone wants to use Doom as a base instead. For Quake 1 it is even worse since you can load exactly only one mod and there is a bunch of maps that are made with a specific mod in mind and most new Quake 1 content comes through maps only
Sven Coop is ass, as soon you mod Sven Coop the loading times becomes fucking long and tons of Sven maps are awfully short and most of the time are single maps only.
God single player FPS gaming has took some major nose dive. I wonder why there is no true FOSS shooter game instead which got at least a small community of autists. I guess there is Xonotic but I have no idea how Xonotic modding works.
