Going Down - Megawad for Doom

Post by J-12 »

It's a pretty hardcore but fun pack of custom maps that came out in 2014. The first map just drops you in front of some building, going to the back of it you find elevator that takes you to the roof, after wiping out the enemies your descent starts. Just as the name suggests, you going to go down, each level is a floor, to get to the next one you'll need to find a key for it first which will involve all sorts of funny things to happen, like one level will make you mess around with time machine, the other will have you fighting trough mouth and entestines of some giant eldritch mass of flesh and metal, etc.
There's also some story going on between the levels, where doomguy ocasionally gets calls from his mom where he speaks like a manchild, it's mildly funny.
The music kind of sucks though, i reccomend just turning it off in game's settings and put on something else in the background, like tractor noises compilation.
There's really a lot going on in this WAD, the words are not enough to describe all of it, unless i review every single level at which point no one would want to read that.
It goes incredibly hard with Brutal Doom, Trailblazer and Guncaster total conversions.

A thread for a Doom WAD. What's old is new again.

More like incredibly easy. I used to have a clip of my pistol start of MAP29: Demolition, but that was lost with the end of my channel.

This wad was made by cyriak, the guy who made those kitty city weird animations on youtube. He also wrote all the music by himself.

It really isn't even on medium difficulty, the ammount of enemies turns every level into a seemingly endless slaughterhouse and you can still die very easily and very fast if catch too many projectiles or use rocket launcher too close, which you will have to do a lot there.

I've been a pretty big fan of going down for a while now actually so this is a cool thread to see!
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Bruh if you haven't finished this thing on UV then we've got nothing to discuss. GD is one of my favorite WADs. Cyriak is a real talent.

Yeah i did it once, it wasn't fun, the middle-later parts of WAD have too much barons and it takes forever to go trough all of them, the gameplay turns into unloading BFG into "Left 4 Dead"-sized hordes of them, retreating to nearby ammo resuply, return, repeat, it's a slog.

You'll never make it through Sunlust with that attitude.

This is Guncaster, by the way.


The mean man called me a furry even though I've never played this mod, but he freely admits to using this to waltz through Going Down because it's just too hard for him, very sus.

1. Never cared about the furries.
2. Yeah, i did played it like 6 or so years ago, after i beat GD multiple times with and w/out mods. It was mindless fun.
3. Already said above that i did beat it on UV back then, it's not hard, just tedious.
Either you can't read or you've been talking about someone else outside this thread.

Also, I warned you to stop quoting like this and if you don't knock it off I'm going to report you.

This looks awesome. A must-try.

Also, Guncaster is ok even though it was probably made by a ******* ****** (which seems to be most of the Doom modding community nowadays... why?)

I seem to recall Pillowblaster threatening to leave the community when the whole debacle over Marty getting tossed for whistleblowing the pedo ***** was going on (as in solidarity for Marty), but that's just my loose observation, I don't frequent the place and a lot less since it gets worse all the time.

All I really care about now is BTSX3 before the heat death of the universe or **** death of the ******** who are part of the team.

Oh I take that back, still waiting on Kegan to finish GMOTA and add back Kustam the NES era character to the mix who's heavily based on Kuros along with Samson the Genesis era character who also happens to be a kobold.
