Have yet to play the newest one.
Doom 1 and 2 are pretty much unplayable for me if I don't use the Brutal Doom mod, to be honest.
Movie was horseshit.
Doom 3... was decent. Deviated too far from the roots of the series, to be honest. BFG Edition fixed that up a bit. One thing that really irks me though is the fact that you only go to Hell for like 30 minutes, and that's right at the end of the game. Like, I wanted to fuck shit up on Mars for a bit, then fuck shit up in Hell for the rest of the game! Not romp through a bad horror FPS, telling myself 'it'll all be worth it when you get to Hell' for ten fucking hours, only for the game to end right when I get to Hell!

TL;DR: Haven't played the newest one. Movie was bad. Doom 1 and 2 are better with Brutal Doom. I wanted to see more of Hell in Doom 3.

EDIT: Also, like Sent mentioned, the melodrama was just... *shudders* Ugh.

Iirc, one of the DLC's for Doom 3 had you ONLY in hell.

I was talking about the main game, not Resurrection of Evil.

Just saying, they probs realized they fucked up and tried making up for it.

Basically, Resurrection of Evil was them saying sorry. Doom 2016 was them writing us a fucking fifty page apology letter, then mailing it to us with a bottle of expensive champagne to boot.

DOOM 1 was an awesome first date. DOOM 2 was a nice follow-up, but a sad goodbye when DOOM explained to you that his parents were getting divorced and he had to move away while John Romero and his Game Designer Guy Ex started seeing other Video Games. DOOM 3 was DOOM coming back home bedraggled and drunkenly asking for sex and heroin while pissing in your garbage can because you were the only ex in his contacts that hadn't utterly disowned him or tried to pressure him into seeing a therapist about his addiction and upsetting teen years. The DLCs were apologies and rehab. 2016 was beyond apologies. DOOM comes back home for glorious dinner and a rapturous victory-fucking after he puts his fragmented life back together.

That about sums it up.

I think you'll like DOOM. The new one that is.

Bloodshed, Bloodshed, Bloodshed! The one time I can be violent! I loved Doom 1 and 2, and I adore the Doom remake. It's a beautiful production. Doom 3 though... It was more horror story based, and I just love to destroy my enemies. The movie was fairly decent, I think it was mainly good because of Dwayne Johnson, who is my favorite actor, Doom is an amazing thing that we need in life. Enter the game with Bloodshed, Exit the game with Bloodshed. Violence is beautiful.

Heya buddy, next time I wouldn't advise replying in a thread that is more than a week old.

Sorry love, but I get giddy and excited at the mention of Doom. Besides, what can I say? I was bored, and I don't want to talk politics.

That's cute. Doom is a fun game, I remember playing the co-op mode with my brothers.

Those were fun times.

XD Maybe you could make your own thread next time instead of necroeing an old one?

I agree with not wanting to talk about politics though.

What the hell is this thread? Which one of you Mods Frankensteined this thing together out of moved posts? I was trying to find that allegory in Pugtaco's deleted DOOM thread for entire hours!

I wish we could Frankenstein threads together. Merging threads would be pretty handy.

If only...*sigh*
We need new things for the forums and messages >~<

We also need a new search function.

Yeah. Oh well...I guess we must all pray to the great AlexP and hope he hears us.

I remember when the original Doom came out and I thought it was okay, but I never really went crazy over it. There really just wasn’t much variation and I got bored with the games eventually. The newer Doom games didn't look any more interesting so never bothered with them at all.

Blood (and its expansions) was always my FPS of choice back then. Really wish they would reboot that one instead of all these other old FPS (Doom, Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, etc).

You want to wash Wang?

Or you want to watch Wang wash Wang?

I remember that game being one of the few times the whole "THAT'S RACIST!" argument came up back in the day. Some magazine critic was bitching about how the whole game was racist.

I think a few years before there was someone else bitching in that same magazine about how they couldn't continue playing Wizardy 7 because you had to fight a bunch of amazon women at one point, and they couldn't bring themselves to kill half naked black women. Lol.

That dude's a fucking pussy then.

Pff, Lo Wang's only as racist as Comrade Pissenmiov. Granted, I guess you could get after a Taoist, kung-fu-wielding Ninja with a Chinese name for cultural appropriation, but fuck that noise. Lo Wang is his own culture!

Ancient Chinese Secret!

I feel like the new games really let the old FPSes come into their own. There was only so much you could do with the old engines, now the differences are more than aesthetic.

Wolfenstein went from "I hate Nazis" to "Stealthy-shooty multi-pathway sniper-dual-wielding WWII game".

Doom went from "Space demons" to "MASS MURDER ALL UNCEASING BLOODSHED NEVER STOP MOVING KILL EVERYTHING I HAVE 80 GUNS FUCK YOU ALL KILL MURDER MURDER EACH LIVING BEING A SLAYER OF ALL HELL AM I".

Shadow Warrior went from "Katanas and ninja stars, but mostly sci-fi-guns like the rest of them" to "Surprisingly awesome samurai-sword-fighting simulator, with guns for the scrublords.

Duke Nukem went from "The snarky one with the jetpack, minigames, and interesting side bits" to "The one that FUCKING SUCKS".

Serious Sam went from "The Balls-to-the-wall hard, sadistically designed 3D shooter with giant monsters and hordes and environments" to "The balls-to-the-wall hard 3D shooter with giant monsters and hordes and environments".

Redneck Rampage went from "Gloriously politically incorrect slaughterfest of gore and debauchery!" to "Dead, as it probably should be..."

Never knew what happened to Blood, but given how it's suddenly seized up into nothingness, I can only assume it's been tied up in copyright shit.
