Right you are, the government wants publicity, re-election, and thus power. They're not in the buisness of solving problems, they're in the buisness of looking good.

I'm running D1X on an xp machine, and the original game on a '98 machine. I tested both within a few days-I didn't get THAT much better THAT fast.

I have definitive edition, patched to 1.4a, so I'm going off that. Ya, and it's on all difficulties. The damage is only modded between difficulties for lasers and fireballs in D1. The original version, each plasma ball did 20 damage, and each rocket did 160. Currently, a head on rocket does about 60...

Unnerf the level 7 boss. He's beyond easy now. Put it back to the definitive edition boss. That was actually difficult. Or at least fun.

Don't Nerf The Boss.....

Recently got D1X, and it works great. One MAJOR problem-the boss 1 (smart missle boss)-is epicly nerfed. He teleports more slowly, fires more slowly, less plasma homing balls, and he does almost 1\\4th of the normal damage. 3 charges with quad lasers kills him....it really ruined the experience for ...
