What an absolute blast watching you play this blind. Thanks for posting the stream VOD to youtube. Absolutely wonderful playthrough. Pretty cool that you found some of the more obtuse stuff right away.
You played really well. I couldn't help but think you had either played before or read a walkthrough, and then acted for the stream, because of some of the moves you made. But I am now inclined to think this was all played cold, and in that regard, you played outstanding. The most disappointed I was was when you chose to go down the vortex while in the bathhouse. That seemed like an obvious error. And then you didn't choose the yellow slide, but that I could understand - it's just that everyone freaking goes for the hidden passage behind the cabinet in the pool table room but you are the first one I saw choose that WHILE YOU HAD THE YELLOW SLIDE CHOICE. The game was leading you, and you went away from that! Crazy! I hope you got a chance to complete the game and find the best ending.
Not gonna lie - that's the feel I had about JSE's playthrough. I did read about this and probably picked up a few things but latest from a few min before the first mirror passing, it's all real :) When I find stuff like that I try to stop myself from reading up on it early to not spoil myself because yeah, most streamers do overplay reactions a bit, but acting surprised on stream when you basically know exactly what's coming is a bit meh. Might play it again, but now there won't be any surprises as I've watched and read up on all of it :D EDIT: Actually no, rewatching it, I "knew about it" (but not every detail of what happens) up until the first enemy reset in the house, probably.
@@thatguyStrike Ya, it would be extremely hard not to know at least what you are saying you knew, because how else would you interest truly be piqued unless you saw something! It's not the kind of thing you can repeat once you've seen it all, so watching vicariously through you was my next best option. I freaking love this mod and hope there are somehow more to come. Seems like such an act of genius! But your playthrough was my favorite so far, I watched until the very end.
@@MikeBaas thanks dude, this has been my most successful video in a while though it's just a VOD I threw to YT on a whim haha! A few people have said they really liked my playthrough which makes me very happy. if you wanna see more (non myhouse) gameplay I stream wed 7pm cest and sun 1pm cest on twitch.tv/strike :)
This is great. It's like watching a really good movie, and then watching it with someone who never saw it and enjoying their expressions of pure enjoyment as they experience it for the first time. Rumor is this map was built by Adrian Carmack and was modeled after a house owned by American McGee. Sandy Petersen didn't want his house used again for a Doom level. I'm trolling, but kudos to the original author(s).
I think there are 8 possible endings. If you kill the dog you lock yourself out of the best possible ending. You missed a few collectibles. As you collect them it modifies the game and eventually you end up on the good endings path. But happiness must be fought for.
The hype around myhouse is so dumb. Myhouse fanatics who've never heard of Doom before 2023 regularly tell me it's "abandonware" and if you tell them to play Eviternity, Ancient Aliens, Auger Zenith or any other recently released, visually and technically impressive megawads they just say "no those are grandpa games." Only time will tell but I wouldn't be surprised if myhouse was a long-term net negative for the longevity of Doom. It's like when your favorite band releases a record that's kinda soft and expands the fanbase but then you go to one of their shows and you don't fit the crowd anymore and the band's popularity slides as the new fans move on to the next trend.
I really hope to see you play through this without triggering the fire (just don't go in the room behind the bookcase). There is so much more great stuff to see!
Thanks! I'm not sure ifI replay it because I watched a lot of gameplay after my own because I wanted to get into the rabbithole. I'm not sure if there's still anything to surprise me :) glad you liked it though! Hope you can make it to one of the streams ;)

yessss i went down that hole quite a bit after this playthrough and read up everything i could on it, checking out the gameplay a few more times. it truly is a work of art.
"Saved" it? From what? The Doom community has been going strong for 30 years now, with yearly Cacowards going to the best WADs that are still being made constantly
It even is for a German mothertongue person, which they never, ever tire of telling us. Post a Swiss German video on a social media platform and there will be AT LEAST one German dude poking fun at the language lmao
Haha, even Windows went map's theme when at 02:30 it displayed a message "Firefox is playing me...". Also, shout out to the very well behaved chat! I'm on a myhouse.wad playthrough binge and yours is one of my favourites. I'll love to join your streams when they happen.
my sentiments exactly. he says in the description he only sporadically touches custom DOOM content though, so I'd just take the title with a grain of salt.
To answer the clickbaity question, maybe? As far as I know this requires GZdoom and won't take no for an answer. (not even LZdoom) If anything, what this wad's popularity will do is cause even more gzdoom-only wads to be made. Gzdoom is already the number one source port, and if it gets any higher and wads start requiring it more, that'll push it into de-facto monopoly territory. Now, GZDoom is FOSS. If it really becomes basically a requirement for new wads, people could fork it, or maybe make other engines compatible. But also, GZDoom is barely even the Doom engine anymore. They re-wrote so much of the code that its basically a Ship-of-Theseus situation. It doesn't even use fixed-point anymore, the physics uses floating point. This also breaks old demos, and its banned for speedrunning. The system requirements are also pretty high, it needs opengl3 or vulkan. LZdoom (the previous solution to this) has been discontinued. And I'm not sure what can be done about that. So if anything, this wad could destroy doom map making, in a way.
Also, trying to shoehorn all these advanced features into doom kinda sounds like the wrong thing to do. *Modern* game engines would shrug this game off. Using less CPU and RAM all the while. If you want to do the crazy stuff, that's what you should be doing. It's cool to see "doom" do this stuff (and the wad kinda relies on the shock value of that), but if you need a source port that is barely doom, is it *really* doom?
I wouldn't be this dramatic. For years now the Doom community has been split between (G)ZDoom and PRBoom (and more recently, DSDA-Doom) mapping, with both sides well aware of issues and limitations of their preferred port. Also, if anything "saved" Doom, that would be Doom 2016, the growing interest in old-school shooters and COVID.
In the general eye of gaming, DOOM / DOOM II are pretty much irrelevant, I'm sorry to say. They are beloved by a niche of oldheads (like me) and younger people who love to delve into the retro rabbithole. Myhouse.wad, at least for a while, looked like it might take our "good old" (at least a modern version of it) and put it in the spotlight again.
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 anybody who knows what Doom is knows that it's one of the most influential games of all time. Of course it's not as popular now because it's a 30 year old game, but still...

Actually, no! I enjoy open world a lot, when it's actually open world and I know what I get myself into. At least all of the DOOM WADs I've played so far aren't "truly" open world and this was sold to me as a "crazy horror story" so ... maybe that's what gives you that feeling? :)
Myhouse has not revolutionized Doom WADs lmao that's ridiculous. It was an interesting one-off map with a spooky backstory made by an established community member posting with a sockpuppet account. Then it got botted to the front of TikTok and UA-cam. Now there are a bunch of annoying zoomer girls who get mad that Sigil 2 and Eviternity 2 aren't like "the one I saw on TikTok.

Doom has never been in bad shape. Eviternity was an excellent example of the capabilities of the community but it's not like it revived a dead game. It's a continuation of the steady output of content from the community.
