Its too dark. The lighting really boosts the mood of this Doom over other versions but can be a pain in the ass sometimes. And the laser was a cool addition at the time.

>>4052613
I enjoyed it a lot, but I played it on the PC using Doom64EX, which is a very faithful port (using the original ROM).
Perhaps try it on PC with mouslook? might be easier to control and more fun.

>>4052613
I like it for being an original story but i personally prefer the original as it gives you more options and you could mod it.

In fact lack of mods is the worst part about doom classic edition on the PS3 outside of no mods and lack of control options it is quite a good game as it finally permits the use of the sticks.

>>4052613
Fucking awesome game. Just not as awesome as the ones before it. But still fun as fuck and one of the best N64 games.

>>4052613
>Doom 64
>its a mixed bag

Agreed. Its got a few good levels here and there, and I like the changes to the Lost Souls and Pain Elementals. But, because its completely missing some of the more "game-changer" enemies of Doom 2, a lot of encounters end up feeling samey and non-challenging.

>>4052613
Mediocre as fuck. The horror atmosphere is a nice idea (even though the weapon and demon sounds are lifted directly from PSX Doom) but the levels themselves just aren't fun to play. Also lacking in enemies and animation frames.

>>4052613
The true DOOM 3.
But you should play it on PC, really.

>>4053653
>not appreciating good map design
The quality of Doom 64's maps is higher and more consistent than Doom 1 and 2

>>4052613
The best OG Doom without question.

And truly creepy.

>>4053791
>2
Sure.
>1

To this day, Doom 64 is the best Doom.

I really really appreciated it for what it was. Even though I was death matching over dial up at the same time this game was a satisfying romp through hell.

The levels are amazingly detailed and the sound design is amazingly spooky but other than that is just pretty good. Kind of feels like a precursor to doomthrees reliance on horror

>>4053791
I actually kinda prefer Sandy Petersen's Doom 2 levels over most of 64.

Play Doom Absolution instead. Also doom64 is the best doom. just because of muh atmosphere

The PS1 Doom was better. Much better maps and more enemies. Plus the ambient soundtrack was utter perfection, I'll never forget the crying babies on one of the hell maps.

shit bait

>>4054606
>crying babies
Doom 64 has that covered

In fact, PSX Doom and Doom 64 share many tracks, they sound different because of the sound chips.

>>4054612
shit taste

>>4052613
Counting base games, it's the best Doom game. Come at me.

>>4052613

Doom 64 has objectively the best level design out of all the Doom games. Almost perfectly balanced and designed.

Should have never just been released on the 64, luckily Doom 64 EX has corrected that.

>>4052635
How was this even playable on the n64? It's fucking pitch black the entire time almost

I have played through the game on pc a few times including brutal doom64 and it's actually really great. Just play it on your pc

>>4054737
>has objectively the best level design out of all the Doom games
Objectively wrong.

>>4054737
Doom 64 was never praised for its maps, quit talking out your ass.

>>4054739
>How was this even playable on the n64? It's fucking pitch black the entire time almost
The NTSC version of a Doom 64 has a bug where the brightness slider defaults to the darkest setting. They fixed it in the PAL version where it defaults to average darkness.

Seriously bros, just go into options and set the brightness slider to the middle.

Its very good, but not great like the original Doom. The monster designs are lame in comparison, and the level designs are a mixed bag (there are many classic levels, especially early on, but some are just slogs).

>not playing it the way the devs intended in pitch black

>>4054606
I liked how there was a final level in Doom 1.
You don't just flip a switch and teleport to an enemy room and die like the PC version.

I'm not that guy but I praise Doom 64's maps all the time. They're very well made, with decent variety especially considering they had fewer monsters and more restrictions. They're all balanced very well to play from a pistol start. I would say that Doom 64 has the most consistent maps of any vanilla campaign--PC Doom has higher highs, but also much lower lows. Doom 64 is solid all the way through. My main complaint would be that there are too many 90 degree angles. Really noticeable once you browse through the automaps, lots of squarish rooms and corridors.

>>4052613
N64 FPS games are shit.

>>4056001
agreed. They did alot of neat things with the engine not seen in 1-2

>>4052613
Too fucking dark cant see shit.

>>4056537
If you think this is dark you should see Doom 3

Really good game, best N64 FPS, sad that some people don't know how to operate a slider bar or remap buttons

I'm glad I didn't play this game at childhood. If I saw the hell levels back in the day, I would have nightmares for weeks. There's something unnerving about this Doom, a sense of constant dread, I don't know if it's the soundtrack or the darkness. It did horror right, unlike Doom 3 and it's endless jumpscares.

original doom is the classic, but doom 64 is indeed the best officially released doom. creepy as fuck and top tier maps.

>>4052613
It's the real Doom 3.

Midway did a half-decent job on the enemy design but what sells me the game is the thick, foreboding atmosphere. It's an ideal spooky game to play alone at night.

>>4056902
Atleast you have a fleshlight in doom 3

>>4058281
USE US

Is there a preferred version of this game? I've been using Retribution.

It has a great soundtrack.

>>4054319
yep

>>4054606
it's literally doom 1 + 2 with shittier sounds

>>4053734
Yeah OP, you should play both Doom 64 EX and the PSX Doom TC. By Doom port quality alone it's a better deal.

>>4054880
It's still really dark even after you fix that.

>>4052661
This. The port is very faithful and lots of fun with keyboard and mouse.

>>4054553
> Absolution in 2017
At least say D64ex

Fun fact: Doom 64 might possibly be the only N64 that uses additive blending.

The hardware doesn't clamp additive blending values, which means that if colours get too bright and blended beyond pure white, they overflow causing visual gltitches (which is why the feature can't be safely used most of the time). Because Doom 64 is so fucking dark, the developers were able to use it without risking glitches from the blending creating too bright and white colours.

The game picks up after the Dead Simple remake.

>>4064484
This. 64's Hell levels, ie everything after Even Simpler, are top tier.

>>4064584
They look fucking cool also

accurate

>>4065210
ppl love their midi pantera huh

>>4066031
I like music that reinforces the fact that its an action game.

Doom 64's music is great, but it sounds more like something out of a survival horror.
