Stop asking for Vertical Aim

[Del]

Literally the game has zero perpous for it, your character automatically shoots in a way that anything Vertical of your shots gets hit. this is a classic port and its just the way the game was designed.

+99 those people whining need to get over it and accept that it's how the game is designed.

Guess it's on me to give this a -100. It's still a good game, though.

but why, bruh?

I'm used to having 100% freelook (up 'n down 'n all around), but even still I've played the GBA port of Doom 1 and 2, so I kind of got and edge there in understanding how the game plays and adjusting to the lack of commodities that ZDoom and the like brought about. Plus, well, in olde DOS era I only ever used the keyboard, and anybody I saw playing it never used the mouse back then.

Because there's not a good argument for why more features are bad. The game works fine and controls better than on N64, but the counterarguments for why something like that shouldn't be included boil down to 'It's different', as if its inclusion would force everyone to play with the feature on and it would break every individuals experience just by virtue of it even existing in the settings, as if you couldn't just keep it off or turn it on and play the way you want. And I reiterate, the game works fine as is, but more options is never a bad thing.

I completely agree. Personally, I'm glad they literally removed a feature that had been in this version of the game for years. Now we just need them to remove mouse and keyboard support. This was an N64 game, so there's no reason it should be played with anything other than a controller. The game's brightness options should be gone too, as you should only be able to play the game with the levels exactly as bright as the N64 ones. Also, the resolution options should go no higher than 480i, as that was what they were designed for. The game was perfectly fine and exactly as it needed to be on the N64. Each and every change should be taken away immediately.

Now that's a bit far in the opposite direction, even if it is an exaggeration. Mouselook or not, it's still Doom 64, a damn good game. But I need someone to please fix the minigun animation, it's bugging me incessantly.

well, i sympathise with your point of view and i also am a big fan of all around free mouse look. the limitation of not being able to just look "up"or "down" can be frustrating =)

i say this to you and to "the ashman cometh": the only thing i could think of why they didn't include vertical mouse look is that it would introduce a new game mechanic which doom 64 wasn't build for.

it's similar to why you can not jump in 64. the difference between "remove m+k support and play it with the n64 controller" or "resolution only in 480i" is exactly that.

one being a game mechanic which they don't have to include because it could potentially break the game and the other being features for pc that make it playable and closer to the hardware it's played on.

just trying to make sense out of it. not trying "to be right" and my word are finally or something.

[yummy]

Should feel the same as doom 1 and 2 BFG.

[Jacowboy]

yeah sorry, I deleted it, but thanks =)

Give me vertical aim!!!

[ReBoot]

I'd say, it's important to stay way from extremes. The people claiming they need vertical aim otherwise no buy are extremists and should shut the hell up. The people saying the original didn't have it so it doesn't have a place here as well are also extremists (purists) and should shut the hell up.
Fact is: Doom 64 didn't have vertical aim and the game design accomodates for that. Nobody would get hurt should Bethesda add an option, but demanding it is out of place.
