Doom by id Software

“I get horribly motion sick playing some games like Half-Life 2, Metroid Prime, or the original DOOM.”

“the Doom games mostly focused on having cool levels, with plot as an afterthought”

“Contemporary boomer game franchises like Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, etc just don't have "heart".”

“Cynical content from the 90s and 2000s that lack "heart" like Quake, Doom, and the like”

“But damn, did I have fun playing that game... especially multiplayer over a modem.”

“the Jaguar port of Doom, which was the most faithful adaptation of its generation, written by Carmack himself”

“The last 2 doom games sold quite well and have a unique look and feel that is associated with idtech.”

“I have also been very impressed by the performance and fluidity of Doom and Doom Eternal.”

“The first Doom was certainly industry defining, but it and its sequels have never been considered the best by anyone”

“I don’t think unreal engine games play and look as well as custom engine games. Like doom or cyberpunk.”

“Doom and Quake/2/3 all represented massive technological jumps over their predecessors”

“simply froze both computers whenever there was a communication issue”

“Doom worked because it was crazy fast and you could have a lot of sprites on the screen at once”

“he had great taste in metal. most of the tracks were adapted (now classic) speed/thrash metal.”

“We've still got Doom (1993) being ported to anything that has a transistor in it”

“The weapons and monsters are perfectly balanced and fair, and there's a ton of extra levels and mods”

“the stupid mechanics where crowds of enemies described as intelligent humanoids never surrendered, almost never tried to flee”

“there were a few gems that I really enjoyed (Aliens vs Predator, Doom, Wolf 3d, Iron Soldier, and Tempest 2000)”

“still played and modded, and now a semi-meme benchmark for low-spec hardware”

“Doom was special just because it felt right and the rhythm just flowed as you went deeper”

“The latter feels much more artificial and forced, whereas Doom feels like "just playing a game."”

“It was butter-smooth at 20 fps if you also had a VLB graphic card.”

“they nailed a really interesting formula and continued to tweak it in each game”

“"I know! Let's restart the version numbering for no good reason!" becomes DOOM (2016)”

“tetris, doom, minecraft will be remembered for centuries/millenia”

“This is awesome! the amount of devices doom has not been run on shrinks by the day haha”

“Great gameplay but the way the monster corpses disappear just upsets me”

“the original doom and quake kept the corpses around”

“these old games have become kind of timeless platforms for content (doom too)”

“Doom offered very nice gentle "bobbing" that added to the illusion of a real person's gait”

“The player speed in Doom is completely unrealistic, which is fun, but plays against immersion.”

“praised for being surprisingly well optimized for the graphics they offer”

“Doom was a big milestone in video game history and 90s tech culture.”

“Doom has some star power and is instantly recognizable to pretty much anyone, not just video game fans.”

“Doom pioneered the FPS genre in the USA. So it has a cultural significance.”

“it sounds significantly worse than Wolfenstein 3D's PC speaker sound”

“The music sounds great but stopping the music to play sound effects sounds terrible”

“it spawned a myriad of forks and new developments continuing to this day”

“Downside is that your framerate was capped to the person with the slowest computer”

“The final release had a reduced viewport and a bad framerate, but the background music was great”
