Discussion on: NewDoom Wad Reviews #11 (4.16.06)

AlysiumX · April 16th, 2006, 11:34 PM

Well after a over a month of inactivity, were finally locked and loaded once again to bring you top notch reviews. Starting back strong with 9 new reviews and with more reviews on there way be sure to track our site as many new issues will be up before you know it.

Good news PumpkinSmasher, I'll be reviewing OMGPUMP2.wad sometime this week.

Doom_Dude · April 18th, 2006, 10:05 AM

Hehe I got a 6 for my lack lustre Underhalls map. I was refurbishing the level but never got to finish it.

Danimetal · April 18th, 2006, 11:48 AM

Hey, I am at work now :P... I hope that people catches the news bit at the main page as it has been up only for a day. Time to spam the forums anyway...

Well, Doom_Dude, about your wad, it was on my HD as one of those wads that I have for review but never have time to. I think that a 6 is a nice score as long as it´s taken on the terms stated on the review: it´s a remake, it´s a nice curiosity, it´s well done but it won´t change your life.

Now that I think of it (not really now but for a long time) ,maybe every scoring system in the world is a bit inconsistent as I could give a 6 to an original map that was very fun but lacked something really remarkable. I´m sure that other reviewer would give less score to this wad as it looks dated and stuff (and he would be as right as I am) and it´s not up to what he expected.. I think that reading the review itself is fundamental to understand the score and in order to understand the review (and thus the score) one needs to know the reviewer. Soon we´ll be able to get to know the members of our team, with will make any discussion easier

You've prompted me to take a second look at these reviews. They're good stuff!

Danimetal · April 19th, 2006, 03:07 AM

Sure we appreciate the comments

, don´t forget to spread the word until it reaches the own authors and beyond!. I´m sure that many of them don´t know that their wads are being reviewed and their opinion is also welcome here.

Well Thank you Rusty, I will be looking forward to that review. I hope you enjoy the map.

And once again: The reviews are great. I just wish they came more often.

Danimetal · April 20th, 2006, 06:18 PM

I hope we can drop another issue with some more reviews this weekend... Will Rusty be up to the challenge and have the review ready?. Only he knows.

rustyslacker · April 20th, 2006, 10:08 PM

I'll try to get it done on Friday and Sunday and send it in Sunday evening or Monday afternoon.

Doom_Dude · April 20th, 2006, 10:23 PM

Well danimetal thanks for the review and I certainly had no probs about what you said about it.

I wouldn't give it more than a 6 either. I like the level less than when I first finished it but that's why I started to rework it. I had noticed an error with the 3d floors that I missed somehow... Plus I wasn't happy with the elongated entry area and I've since chopped it down to size. Heh now that I'm thinking about it, I want to work on it.

g6672D · April 20th, 2006, 10:58 PM

Why not do VileCore II instead?

Danimetal · April 21st, 2006, 05:48 AM

Because Vilecore II doesn´t have 3d floors :P.

Working on something smaller is easier on the brain when getting back into editing.

Danimetal · April 21st, 2006, 12:49 PM

So, are you really back into it?. Last I knew was about some Stalking Evil screenshots.

Doom_Dude · April 21st, 2006, 06:55 PM

I worked on the map for 20 minutes so I might be back into it.

Danimetal · April 22nd, 2006, 06:49 AM

Heh, yeah, I´m also back into ATC as I managed to put another picture I just made up in the site :P... By the way people I would like to know your opinion on "Hell´s Twisted Influence 2", just reviewed in this issue but I think that many people could say different things about this wad.

PumpkinSmasher · April 22nd, 2006, 12:09 PM

I think Doom_Dude has too many projects going on at once.

I guess its about time for me to start on another map. maybe OMGPump3, or maybe something completely new.

I do have too many projects but none of them is 'going' due to being busy with so many other things. I think we need longer days with less BS.

You should start OMG3 soon. I never did get to play OMG2 tho... /my bad.

I need to play Hells Twisted 2.

rustyslacker · April 23rd, 2006, 10:03 AM

I played your Underhalls remake, DD. Nothing really revolutionary, but pretty fun.
