As someone who started playing Doom back in 1994 I thought I knew everything there was to know about the game and might have even started my own channel until I stumbled on this accented dude from Copen-heerenveen-twerpenburg who dove into the programming and showed me I really didn't know Jack Shit and the stuff I thought I knew was mostly incorrect. He has truly helped me appreciate this game on a whole nother level and I have a better insight into how much thought went into the maps, weapons, enemies and how all three are damn near perfectly balanced...

Remember that the Unmaker is available before the Plasma gun is (albeit in a secret level), and that the ordering of available Unmakers and Demon Keys means that you are unlikely to go for more than a single level with an unupgraded Unmaker. So the Plasma gun is nearly always inferior to the Unmaker. Unless you completely miss the Demon Keys, of course. Or die and pistol start the level instead of reloading.

Honestly, when I replay Doom 64, I usually ban the Unmaker (but still go for the secret levels and the demon keys so the final level isn't a chore). It makes a lot of the late game combat encounters more fun when there's more to them than just pressing the 8 key and holding down fire to make everything dead in seconds.

I think every first playthrough should forgo the Unmaker, and the upgraded one should be used in Nightmare difficulty to get any sort of challenge out of the game.
I actually like the Plasma Thing(tm)'s idle buzzing. DOOM 64 is already an atmospheric masterpiece, so having that extra little bit of noise, especially when there are no enemies around, just adds to the atmosphere and the immersion, for me.

One of the only places you can do that is behind the door with a missing panel in the CPU Complex level, where two imps come out when you're heading toward where Campbell has fallen. I still cannot get that achievement, it's the only single player one I haven't gotten.
It might just be me, but with the SSG missing reloading frames, it's oddly satisfying seeing it just slide back into place, ready to fire again. Probably due to the legendary sound design.

Wow, what a coincidence, just as I get started with my own Doom 64 Walkthrough, you post details about the game here. I'll be sure to absorb and remember every detail that you say here, so I can regurgitate it all later in my videos, and sound at least halfway smart, until people realize I stole from your videos, at which point I get cancelled, and then I wind up on the streets, and then make bad choices there, and then decino rescues me, gives me a bowl of soup with extra onion powder, and tells me it's okay, and that we'll settle this over Doom deathmatch later. See? It all works out. Oh my gosh. Thanks so much for the shout-out at 69 degrees for the BFG. Umm.... yeah... when I saw the 69, I thought what a fantastic upgrade that is from the 58... and then you knew I would think that. I'm proud of my legacy I will one day leave behind......

Good stuff as always...double bladed chainsaw is the best weapon in this doom.
1:13 Doomguy's got his thumb out. He's going for the eye gouge.
I love Doom64 so much, glad you're doing more content involving it
I think one con with the Unmaker that wasn't mentioned here is when it has two or three upgrades it takes up the amount of cells respective to that upgrade, two or three cells per shot doesn't sound too bad, but with its upgraded rate of fire it can stack up surprisingly fast if you're not careful.
If you like those new weapon sound effects, definitely give the PS1 versions of Doom and Final Doom a look! Maybe PS1 Doom would even be worth a video at one point? It has a few unique levels, plus that gorgeous colored lighting and lots of other minor alterations. Not sure if there's any meaningful gameplay differences like there are here though.
Nice addition in showing the shot delays, and showing them side by side with the PC version. Super informative

I find it incredibly amusing that the pistol has been changed to be a Desert Eagle in Doom 64, which fires a much more devastating cartridge than the Original Beretta 92FS (357 > 9mm NATO), but actually has the potential to do _less_ damage!
One video I have always wanted Decino to make would be a video covering the topic of common Doom Map making Bugs and why they happen. And how to prevent them. Similar to the Wall deleting Rockets video. And I have a feeling Doom genuinely has a lot of fascinating topics to talk about, and we have barely scratched the surface. One issue I think is more accurate to ask. Is if we could soon be running low on the easy topics to discuss. Stuff that is easier to digest and teach to your average viewer.

Love the DOOM64 comparison videos, really puts certain things into perspective while also demonstrating that well over 90% of the game is more or less true to DOOM/II. I know you said in the past that you aren't planning on visiting any other games, but I still have my fingers crossed that some day you'll do a DOOM/Heretic comparison video or series.

I always thought the Doom 64 BFG was very different from Doom and Doom 2, but I guess it was just the visual that made me think it was weaker. I thought they modded it so the blast did more damage and it had less tracers (because of N64 memory limitations) but that's not true, so yeah, I'm gonna chalk it up to Gamer Dementia.

I actually prefer the Chaingun in 64 than in the Classic Games. It just feels better. Also, I don't think Unmaker makes the Plasma Gun obsolete. A fully upgraded Unmaker chews through ammo like it's nothing. I normally use the Plasma Gun for mid-level demons and typical use the Unmaker for high level demons.

I’ve binged all of your Doom analysis videos from start to finish, I’ve found them both entertaining and very informative. Very helpful information to keep in mind now that I own the entire Doom franchise on Steam
I said this before but an idea for a Doom analysis video is Doomguy's movement, like his speed and control. Specially if it documents when players started to play with WASD and "Always Run" movement, since Doomguy had a default slow speed and the original games' config files had an exploit that allowed players to run infinitely. Because i wonder if people treated always run as the default speed by accident.
I would live to see a video on the blockmap overflow, like an intercepts overflow but a map is too big and it gets even weirder if that is even possible
Huzzah! More classic DOOM content coming! For the record, I wasn't worried as your other videos are still fun to watch. But that doesn't mean I can't be excited for more yellow videos!

I love Doom 64, but they massacred my beloved Plasma Rifle so much. The slow rate of fire, the obnoxious sound it makes while idle, and I feel at times it doesn't do as much damage as I would like it to. The OG Plasma Rifle had a few issues, but I'll take it over this pitiful version of it. The Doom 3 version carries some of the same issues with fire rate, unfortunately. Thankfully, Doom 2016 would get this gun back on track and make it better.
