I haven't played this game in a while because I've been swamped with new ones I wanna try, and being the hardcore general gamer I am, I actually make a habit of trying new stuff as much as possible.
That said I am in the mood for making noobtacular lets-play-esque videos featuring some of my fave indie/doujin games, and DoomRL was one of the first that came to mind. I wasn't intended to make the video only if I "won" per say, but I was rather upset with how my game ended. Even after watching it over and over I really can't see what I did wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvOVprVw4bY&feature=youtu.beI cropped the entire thing to just my death moments, if some vets can tell me what I did wrong I appreciate it... Summarized. I was at the bruiser brothers boss floor, and trigger that initial ambush at the start... Normally what I do is enter run mode and book it to the door with all the health pickups and stuff if needed (and they often are).
Normally, as soon as I get ambushed, the lost souls activate their "charge like a bullet to the point I fly right past you if you attempt to dodge me like a bullet" thing, and I end up only taking a few odd hits from a demon or two as I reach the door and can proceed to blast them at the bottleneck.
however, this time, the lost souls, right out the ambush, surrounded me in 3 different corners, and if I moved in any direction, they would collide into each other, stopping their charge like a bullet mode...right next to me... I thought, maybe they wont for some technical mechanic reason...so I tried running straight left anyway in hopes they would fly past.. well they didn't.. all 3 proceeded to stay right behind my heels munching all the way, and then the demons caught up, and they did too. And with this giant mass behind me, the caco demons, even if they missed, would hit someone behind me, and I'd take the blast...
As far as I could tell, I was doomed and there was nothing I could do, and as far as I could tell, I never even made a mistake. I was at full health. I just don't know what to do about that. Any advice?
Incidentally, if someone thinks "you should have tac boots/armor".. the game never gave me a 2nd agility mod yet (actually pretty normal, I always get like 4 bulk/technical for every 1 agility/power, qq)
