I have to agree at least partially here - I think Descent _is_ better
(there - I've said it!) than Doom and Doom ][. But it does have some
things missing - it's not as instantly playable as Doom, you don't get
quite the satisfaction when you destroy something as you do in Doom -
i.e. blowing sargeants away, etc. And I don't think the Deathmatch mode
is as good - possibly because I haven't played it much, but Doom
deathmatch is a lot to improve on.

I've noticed this idea quite a lot recently that either Doom has to be better
than Descent or Descent has to better than Doom.
Why?
_Both_ games are very good. They have different styles and one person who likes
one game will not like the other, and vice versa.
At the moment, add-ons for Descent are not possible. When (or if) they do become
possible, Descent will become a lot more popular.
I like Doom because it's visceral in-your-face mayhem is a blast. It's a
one-on-many frag fest that's very personal.
I like Descent because I've always liked space-type games and I'm personally
biased to better and better realism anyway. Being inside a ship doesn't quite
make it such a personal battle - it's like it's your ship that's being attacked,
not you (which is why I always play full screen, to remove the constant
reminder that I'm in a ship).
I think Descent might have had more of a Doom feel if one was wearing a
hoverpack or something, instead of being inside a ship. It would have made the
conflict much more personal, especially in deathmatch. Remember the VR scene
in Lawnmower Man where Jobe and the kid play the through-the-tunnels game?
Something like that maybe.
I like Descent because of its 3D feel and gameplay - I find it very easy to
maneuver, etc.
Descent has better graphics, yes, but that's hardly surprising. The Doom engine
is well over a year old. This is why, when people pester Id for Doom III, Id
says 'No! We're finished with the Doom Engine! We're onto something new, bigger,
better...'.
I play both Doom & Descent, and until Quake is released, I'll continue to do so.
I still don't own a pc, but I'll buy Registered Descent soon, just as I bought
registered Doom.

Sorry, you're both full of it. Descent is only 10% as fun as Doom.
I've played them both VERY EXTENSIVELY and I think descent is very
slow action-wise.
My biggest problem with Descent is that you can't whip around 180
degrees in an instant, like you can in doom. I hate it in Descent
when someone is nailing you from behind and you can only run or
wait 2 seconds for your ship to rotate.
Also, I don't like the fact that descent does not have a "speed" mode
like doom. You'd think they'd be able to put a turbocharger on that
ship.
I agree that Descent is more technically advanced, but that does not
always make a fun game. Doom is more fun because they whittled down
its feature set to the most perfect action combination.
Examples:
Descent: You get damaged if you hit a wall too hard. It is more
realistic that way.
Doom: You don't get damaged by walls. It is less realistic. BUT WHO
CARES? It is more fun to run around and slam into things.
Descent: You can move in any axis. It is very realistic.
Doom: You can only move in 2-D. It is less realistic. BUT WHO
CARES? In doom, there are fewer controls to worry about, and you
can concentrate on moving QUICKLY and WITH AGILITY to stay alive.
Anyone want to debate me?

Having an SVGA monitor makes no difference since descent does not run
in SVGA. And you certainly *do not* have a 32 bit sound system. There
is no such thing. Even the highest end proffesional signal processors
operate in 24 bit as the human ear does not respond to resolutions higher
than this. If you have an AWE32 this is 16bit.
Descent has one or two advantages over doom (eg. it's true 3d). I don't
find it as satisfying to laser other ships as I do blowing away monsters
with a shotgun, but I enjoy playing both. Who cares which is better?

The reasons you stated for not liking Descent are exactly the reasons I do
like it. I like being able to drop under a ledge and pop up just in time to
see three drones staring me in the face.
Which brings up another difference in the game. The robots in Descent
actually seem to take a strategy to get to you. Instead of taking a beeline
as soon as they see you, they'll wait and take potshots or ambush you if you
run into a room without looking first.
As for the controls, I feel more agile in Descent than Doom. But then I play
Doom when I feel like kicking the shit out of everything. Descent's for when
I want to think and plan. And Aliens-TC is for when I want to jump out of my
seat when a damn alien comes out of the freaking wall!
There isn't really any debate. The games are suited to different tastes.

Right on! Descent is not better than Doom, Descent's _graphics

even compare to Doom when in comes to sheer fun and playability!!

Umm, no. You can fall down, go up/down stairs, take elevators, etc... You
*CAN* move in any axis, just not all the time... It's every bit as
realistic as descent, if not more...
Oh, then there's Heretic, if you have the wings you can move in any axis

Agreed. Basically, to play the game, I have to limit myself to 5
"real-time" keyboard controls. (the ones I use are ` for flare, Q to
roll left, A and Z to move forward and backward, and alt for str...uh,
slide mode.) anything beyond that requires me to let go of either those
control keys or the joystick (and as I don't have one of the rather

Mind you, the only control I really miss with this configuration is the
"Bomb" key, I can get along fine with the other controls, only letting
go to select a different weapon or to view the map.
Finally - a request: How about a single-key control to "scroll" through
your weapons (i.e. instead of letting go and hitting "4" to switch from
lasers to plasma gun, just hit the "scroll" key rapidly 3 times...)

Descent is NOT Doom !!!
Doom is a good game - and it is one year old - I like it and we play it often.
Descent is a good game - it is up to date, and needs more powerfull computers -
you see what I mean, if you play 8-player Descent on machines, which are not
min 486-80.
You must use other controlls to play Descent - we use the mouse and 4 Keys from
the keyboard - it is a great action game - a great network game.
If we are tired of Descent, we switch to Doom, if we are tired of Doom, we switch to Descent.....
Doom has one mistake - you can only play with 4 players....
But now - let this - is better than - shit !

BWAHAHAHAHAH! That's great! Maybe it should be that way on purpose!

a game enjoyable. One of the resons that DOOM has such staying power is
that you don't need to read a 100-page manual and buy keyboard overlays to
have any chance of even being mediocre at it. Descent is a well-done
game, but when my friends come over to set up the ethernet for 12-hours of
non-stop destruction, nobody suggests booting it instead of DOOM. Point
and shoot...
Easy is good. Easy keeps you alive. Easy wins the tournament!
Dale Porter
is not action packed, you're playing with a bunch of rookies. All of the
controls are a little cumbersome at first, but once you get used to them -
it's a piece of cake. We haven't played DOOM since Descent came out.

You got it - and Descent is easy !
We play it with mouse and 4 Keys - it is Action if there are 6 or more players.
We are all Doomers, but Doom is old and you can not play it with more than
4 players.....
So - play Doom and Descent (p.s. the first time someone plays Doom, he sees not
the difference between a wall and a Door, he runs slow and if I plays deathmatch
with experienced players, he will get a horror of such a difficult game!)
Think about your first steps in Doom and then - try Descent

I set Descent to play with essentially the same key combination as I use
for Doom. Yes, this is obviously extended for roll, bomb, flares and such
but the basic movement controls are very similar (otherwise I'd go haywire
changing from one game to the other!)
If you play Doom at a reasonable level you need good reactions, the game
is essentially as fast as you are (on a decent PC with a mouse at any rate).
I think this is what gives it the adrenaline edge, you have to be forever
primed to react. Descent is more strategic. While good reactions certainly
help they are not as important as in Doom and you can compensate with good
positioning and a good aim and anticipation. All of these things apply to
both games but to different extents.

I've only tried 2 player Descent which can get a bit boring due to the
size of many of the levels. However I would guess that 4 or more player games
would be quite lively!

That's interesting. I prefer the keyboard. maybe your touch is too

I hope you didn't base your entire opinion of the game on this first
impression. I did the same thing when I first started playing. It takes a
lot of getting used to, but I switched to the mouse for better control (I had
a laptop and couldn't use a joystick :-( ). For Descent I don't think
there's any way of getting around using two hands for control unless you have
a super-duper 100+ button Thrustmaster, and I even have a friend who refuses
to play it because he won't learn the controls. Try using the right hand for
rotational movement and the left hand for sliding and forward-backward.
I still love Doom for all-out destruction but I feel more graceful playing
Descent. Aliens-TC is a whole story in itself.

I didn't have too much trouble learning Descent's keyboard controls, and by
my third day I could regularly beat my friend who had been playing for a
month. I personally am a GREAT keyboarder, and cannot use any other device
at all (but that's another thread). ANyway, I think descent is kinda cool,
but really DOOM is better. Why? It's simpler, easier, and has that elusive
quality:fun. Unfortunately, descent hasn't quite captured it. Until Quake
comes out, I'm convinced that NOONE will come out with something more fun
than DOOM.

Yes, Descent with 4 (or more) is quite 'Lively'. I've played Descent
with 5 playing at the same time, and it's more like 'HECTIC' to figure out who
is who (if you are trying to play teams), and it slowed down a little for me
(since I'm still on a DX2-50).
I enjoyed playing the 2 person better, so it wasn't so damn confusing.
