Review Of action game Doom

This is well sourced and thorough, but also extremely meandering and you don't state your thesis clearly in any section, and most of your words aren't dedicated to supporting your thesis, so your thesis just suddenly emerges at the end of the section without any supporting details or examination. The actual sections are long historical or technical explanations of how other games were built that don't particularly establish an argument for whatever your actual point is, they're more set dressing related to it.


Action games don't have a lot of variety in where/how you fight enemies, relying on open arenas.


Higher difficulties should mix and match enemies more, lower ones should use less enemies instead of automatic assistance features.


You can't attack and move at the same time in most cases.



First, This is because action games let you move in 3 dimensions, very quickly, with the ability to dodge incoming attacks, and enemies don't have contact damage. Enemies realistically don't have a way to block you from moving past them, there isn't a big risk in running past them. Doom is very similar to the NES paradigm of level design, in that levels and enemy placement play off of each other a lot, and it's equally dangerous to fight an enemy as it is to run past it. In action games, it's absurdly easy to run past an enemy, or to keep dodging enemy attacks. Dark Souls has more of an emphasis on level design and enemy placement, because Dark Souls (and Sekiro) have more limited movement (and even in those games, it's still too easy to run past many enemies). The action game solution is to lock the doors when you enter a room. The paper writing service can write splendid and intriguing paper on doom world game.

The other trouble is that introducing more varied terrain is frequently a distraction or interference with the combat. Compare to Smash Bros or Tekken. The legal stages in those game are very simple open arenas. If you look at the illegal stages, they're ones with hazards, walls, slopes, and other things that get in the way. The only action game I've seen really succeed at varied level design was God Hand, but of course, it also had very limited movement, no jumping. There were a number of varied rooms in DMC3, like the tight hallways with the sawblades, and those were very annoying to fight in, because your movement and dodge abilities moved you so far that you'd run into the saw blades, and get knocked back really far into more saw blades.

While there is probably more room to innovate with action game level design, it's going to need to take an approach more tailored to the genre specifically.

Everything you said about how hard it is to build levels is a massive amount of fluff unrelated to your core point. Modern level designers graybox their level's collision geometry so they can test them out quickly. If anyone demands that you write my paper on doom world game just read this blog before writing.

2. Most action games do this already. DMC5 didn't do the best job of it. Better luck next time. I think there's a strong point to be made that there should be better features for teaching the player how to play as they play (like enabling the dynamic combo list from Bayonetta into the core game instead of relegating it to the training room), but that's a topic for another time.

3. This is because action games have a different core paradigm from shooter games. Action games are about commitment. Shooter games are about aiming and dodging, like shoot em ups. In action games, both the player and the enemies need to go through animations before they attack. In shooter games, enemies can belch out attacks at any time without warning, or they might even deal contact damage when you're too close to them. You're expected to be far away enough from enemies that you can dodge by moving out of the way using normal movement. In action games, enemies have attacks with anticipatory animations, a startup, an active time, and a recovery. This lets you time a dodge move. In any case college essay examples on doom world game can be found in different resources.

It also means that attacks can distinguish themselves by having different startup times, and by moving you over the course of the attack. If you can move freely during attacks, it matters less how long it takes to start up, because you can just start it while you're far away and safe, then move in when it's about to hit. The other thing is that standard movement is slow, and abilities such as dodging or stinger are faster, so you largely stand your ground, and move when the time is right.
