I’ve been a player of the original era DOOM games since the start and am pretty good on PC with a mouse and keyboard, but I’ve always found the console ports so much more difficult for some reason. On other games I can swap platforms and control schemes just fine, but my brain just will not accept the combination of DOOM plus a console controller.
I’m the same way with Age of Empires II. My younger sister loves to play the Xbox port but I’ve played AoE since the late 90s when they were originally released on pc… I can’t stand to play it on a console.
I played Doom and even Quake with keyboard only. That should translate well to a controller. But maybe that’s why my brother always kicked my ass in death match.
I think I only switched to mouse look with Jedi Knight.
I don’t think I’ve ever beaten Doom 2 without cheats or mouselook. I just can’t time those rockets correctly.
Perhaps you might find it easier to archvile jump into the exposed brain and chaingun it to death.
I got the Xbox port of this a few years ago, and the last level of Doom 2 was a bitch to play. I died so many f’ing times before I finally got it.
