its probably because doom doesnt really have a competitor. doom right now is the only game ive seen where you can fight hundreds of enemies at once without any major performance issues. and is also old enough to the point where every mechanic and glitch is used

It's a totally different game on Nightmare. This level always shattered me. I got to the bridge to the secret exit a few times but always got demolished.

I do agree that on Nightmare, the difficulty flips to Episode 1 being the hardest out of the original 3. Shores of Hell and Inferno are pretty bad, but the ridiculous amount of hitscanners in episode 1 make it an actual living nightmare.

Beating the game on nightmare is one thing. But pistol starting every level? God tier

Nightmare really does change the game up, but what I think was implemented as a bit of a joke from iD, is actually still really fantastically balanced. Doom I think may just be _the_ most brilliant game ever made. I can't think of another game that has anything like how well all the pieces fit together here.

This level is definitely where Nightmare starts to feel impossible. You make this look so easy.

Cock and Ball Torture, from Wikipedia. The free encyclopedia at en.wikipedia.org. Cock and ball torture (CBT), occasionally known as penis torture, dick torture, or male genitorture/male genital torture, is a sexual activity involving the application of pain or constriction to the penis or testicles. This may involve directly painful activities, such as genital piercing, wax play, genital spanking, squeezing, ball-busting, genital flogging, urethral play, tickle torture, erotic electrostimulation, kneeing or kicking. The recipient of such activities may receive direct physical pleasure via masochism, or emotional pleasure through erotic humiliation, or knowledge that the play is pleasing to a sadistic dominant. Many of these practices carry significant health risks.

I never took Nightmare seriously as an option. It was meant as a joke, and I took it as such. But I see how it completely makes it a different game, especially when you set goals. I didn't think this series would be that entertaining, but I'm in for a ride.

You turned this from "joke difficulty because it's so hard" to "joke difficulty because you make it look so easy" -- incredible!

This map can still kick my butt on lower difficulties, it's really great to see you 100% it on Nightmare!

It's amazing how things in Doom just work, no wonder the game has survived so long (obviously thanks to the ID guys' philosophy of being friendly to hackers and then even releasing the source code for players to make their own modifications). For being the first game you can really take seriously of this style, it pretty much does everything right. Even the Nightmare difficulty that I thought wasn't viable and that the devs probably didn't care much about balancing properly, ends up generating a very interesting gameplay even by today's standards.

And even then, some madlads still claim Nightmare to be tame.

I used to play Wolfenstien 3D on my 486DX back in the day, and I was astonished by the 3D graphics and gameplay that id was able to achieve. Then this came out, and it was simply unbelievable. I spent an enormous amount of time on this and Doom II back when I was in graduate school. It’s so great to see you do this play-through.

Running through sounds like … a nightmare. Those shotgunners would tear you a new one. Very well played.

Never thought I'd say "that's an intense start" on a doom 1 episode 1 map. Nightmare really is something

Thanks for this😊😊 I'm playing through Arrival right now and love it. Doom holds a special place in my heart. The challenge, resource management, how you're a one man Army, the tension. It's all great, fun, addictive and memorable. I'm 40, grew up in doom, always come back to it.

This year, I'm trying to play doom with fast monsters. And I was seeing your old videos every time I passed a level. I'm really appreciating the level design and the strategies thanks to you. When I discovered these new videos I became excited to see your evolution between those videos. And I'm really enjoying it!

What is this... the hitscanner backtracker map? MOM! MOM GET THE CAMERA HE'S WINNING AGAIN.

I think Toxic Refinery is Doom's trial by fire level on ANY difficulty when starting out. To to total newcomer, it starts forcing you to get serious in general, when you're doing UV for the first time it teaches you the need to dodge, threat assessment, and crowd control, and on Nightmare, the forced backtracking gives you the first taste of what you're really in for after the mostly linear first two levels. Just surviving this level on Nightmare feels like a real accomplishment.

I'm really enjoying your current Nightmare playthrough! In fact it gave me the urge to seriously attempt a Nightmare run for the first time. (with Saves and continous play) So far I've beaten E1 and are at E2. I guess much like you, this difficulty setting has grown on me.

Very good playthrough, I never touched NM difficulty bc I was trying to play the game without cheats and the amount of enemies and the fact they respawn had me go back to hurt me plenty immediately :D Love that you're going for all secrets too, bc even after decades of playing DOOM, I don't know all the secrets - which now changes. Keep it up!

In some way, these short videos remind me of binging your Quake playthrough a few years ago after the youtube algorithm did a massive W by recommending me your content :)

Great work Decino! I'm psyched for this series.

I'm stuck on this level now. The amount of enemies that respawn in so little amount of time is really crazy. I went into the blue key room from the toxic liquid area and cleared it out and by the time I went back out into the toxic area, it was already refilled with everything I just killed. And I used the rocket launcher to clear out the blue key room. Crazy stuff.

Episode 1 is super nostalgic for me. I remember watching my dad play Doom 95 on windows when I was a kid, and that's how I was really introduced to this game.

An anxiety inducing hellscape.

Loving all the recent content, Decino. Thanks!

This is an amazing series, keep going!

Ayy, I see you like going for the Blue Key first too! That's my preference too in routing for this map.

what a savage map! this is probably the most different from UV so far; constant onslaught of hit scan and lightning pinkies; feels like witnessing a miracle watching you pull it off; like that tas okuplok video

Always an impressive display! Glad you're back

This man is a true legend

The section starting at 0:34 is for legends only. I just cannot get to the mega sphere …you did amazing in this run

No joke indeed: the chaingun is the MVP here.

That was really clean imo, well done

I think there should have been one difficulty level between ultra violence and nightmare with the faster projectiles but not respawning monsters. The respawning monsters has always been where I have drawn the line and why I have stuck to ultra violence.

05:21 It truly appears to be reasonable to deal with this section exactly down there on Nightmare!, because on this difficulty there's not really much time to shoot all the hitscanners through the window up there, as monsters keep respawning. Especially considering that some of the snipers might want to walk away and be hard to reach :)

insane timing i literally just finished ur e1m3 playthrough

Man , you are my hero , i cannont play any map on nightmare difficulty , i get so stressed about the respawining enemies that i say , i had enough

this is a good lookin WAD, the designers did a good job with it. hope they get recognition and find jobs in the industry.

Great job especially for a first try!

Nice work, pumpkin man! Goed bezig :)

One of my favorite maps from Ultimate DOOM :D

E1M3 onwards UV and above is where if you aren’t considering sight lines absolutely everywhere you WILL be ass blasted by 37 enemies

I've never been able to make this happen. Feeling inspired to bang my head against the keyboard for a couple of hours now.

Such a frenetic map, they way you ignored some enemies where my greedy brain would definitely go for the kill is something I should take note of. Might try playing Doom a little different next time I'm on it.

Jesus watching that on Nightmare gave me childhood PTSD of my first Nightmare playthrough

This was one of my initial favorite maps, finding that secret bridge across the toxic pit was so satisfying! Shame the secret level wasn’t anything special (Military Base?)

hey man nice seeing you spanking nightmare hard! an underrated difficulty level for sure, but fun as hell with the double ammo and endless carnage it provides

GG on doing that level with 100% on Nightmare. This level is where my Nightmare runs end.

2:15 Ooh, is that pixelated temporal dithering on the specter? I think that makes this the best source port implementation of partial invisibility I've seen yet

Great job! I'm wondering about E4M6.

Oh, this level... When I was a kid, this level was a point "where shit is getting real". Although I played on medium difficulty. Also, here were the first deaths I can recall (may not be actual first ones) - two at various nukage pits and one in the blue key area. Jokes aside, I'm so fond of these memories.

A few weeks ago I've been craving for a Doom 1 fix but the videos you've made of it 3+ years ago are showing their age. So my excitement when I see Current Day Confident Gigachad Sunlust-eater Italo Disco Dancer Mariachi Band Member It's NERF Or Nothing Ducino returning to Doom 1's unforgettable (and forgettable) levels is immeasurable! Even if it's not exactly a stroll through Ultra-Violence without respawning turbo pinkies.

ah yes, the big boy nightmare map

Got a bit dicey there before you grabbed the chaingun, but nice to see you turn it around. I almost wondered why you didn't open the window to advance snipe the zombies but then I remembered respawning, so no point.

Thank God he picked up that chainsaw, he couldn't have dreamt of beating the level without it.

Wonderful job, you make it seem possible, hard but possible

Such good map design

Nice work to get it on the first try! Back in the day, when I was trying out nightmare, I could speed through the first two levels, but this one would stop me dead in my tracks. Perhaps it's time for me to give nightmare another go.

I can't wait to see you play e4m1 like this.

You should add the NERF chainsaw sfx.

That's... a _massive_ difficulty spike, like jeez. I knew Toxin Refinery was very hard on Nightmare, but seeing it not with Peter's heavily practiced playstyle is a wake-up call. Difficulty in normal play: D+ Difficulty with fast monsters: B- Difficulty in Nightmare: A-

Sometimes when you're drunk you don't feel that drunk then you click a video and your head shakes

Making it look easy! Took me hours to beat this level when I played on Nightmare for the first time.

Congrats on getting it first try! Looking forward to the secret map, you might get it in one try, too, you never know

Level with my favorite ambient soundtrack, I really love it.

I tried Nightmare once just to see how far I could get and E1M3 was where I gave up due to the hitscan.

Oh man the backtracking on this level doesn't even hold a candle to the next one. Good luck man! I can't wait to see it!
