Does anyone here like Doom?
|
See ya later, Lassic!
These days it's like wham-bam-thank you ma'am. Not that I long for the days of extended coitus or anything.
Ohh.... DOOM and my first PC 386 hehe .. of course I remember and of course a like it, who don't?! ... but a few years later a another game appears ... Age of Empire
and I'm sorry, but since then it's my favorite game!!

“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day." RE: Does anyone here like Doom?

It wasn't a sincere criticism of the game, Hammy.
But I'm impressed you were ready to defend Doom so staunchly. RE: Does anyone here like Doom?

Oh so it was sarcasm? You actually think newer games tend to be uninspired pieces of wank and Doom is not only still super fun but it remains to be just as much of an enjoyable masterpiece as it ever was.
I agree! I even still make my own levels for it.
Doom was a euphemism for certain troll-socks who used to be fun to play with, but now they're just old. (See OP).
In general though, I think older games have a certain whimsy, gusto, and superior style that is seldom matched nowadays. (Though there are some contemporary gems.) RE: Does anyone here like Doom?

I agree there are some contemporary gems but they're rare.
The thing is... nowadays it's easier for games companies to just allow technology, formulas and gimmicks to carry the way but previously it was all about the gameplay. My favorite newer game is most definitely Terraria. That game is a masterpiece. Here's a fun video on why: (January 29, 2018 at 6:58 pm)vulcanlogician Wrote: Doom was a euphemism for certain troll-socks who used to be fun to play with, but now they're just old. (See OP). Thats because games back in the old days were all about simple and fun gameplay. Nowadays, its more about pretty graphics, long cutscenes, complicated plot, and confusing game mechanics.
I played Terraria for a bit but ended up trading it back in. I know some people really dig that game, but I don't really dig the whole minecraft or minecraft adjacent game style.
I'm more like Baldur's Gate style isometric RPGs or rarified treasures like Shovel Knight. |
