it's not that weird - stuff like any given far cry or league of legends are just going to have learned from and built on doom and warcraft 3 due to time and iteration so it's no surprise that they came out better in the end. it's just the effect of progress

To be fair, progress isn't always linear and games or entir genres can sometimes take several steps back. That's where indie games really shine though, some developers are so focused on recreating old visions or experiences with new tech and game design knowledge.

All that to say, I think games were pretty good back then and games are incredibly good today. The doom ports are pretty sick on switch, especially because they leverage a lot of modern tech /mods

I'm betting it's a stylistic choice, as the percussion sounds just fine elsewhere in the video.
I was hoping so too, but the composers are nitpicking an official Nintendo upload of the pause music that's missing bits so :ohdear:

Right, there have been 30 years of shooters since then. It's not really a relevant cultural capstone anymore unless you're over a certain age.

It's still enjoyable if you're into retro shooters or like learning about video game history for sure, but who cares if that poster doesn't know anything about it? How dare he say it in a dumb way?!

I think he was trying to highlight that there have been 30 years worth of shooters since then.

Edit: to make it as clear as possible for KingSlime...

No one is saying that mandatory lesbian has to like doom. No one. In fact no one really cares whether they like it or not.

We are picking at the seemingly sincere claim they made that, since Doom came out when they were only 1 year old, THAT'S the reason why they either don't know anything about it, or shouldn't know anything about it.

That logic is incredibly dumb.

That's what all of those posts were about, hth.

anyways im playing the Disgaea 4 demo and i think this might be the one i jump into someday. the writing and line delivery are p good! good enough to carry the story mode i think. i have been grinding my units on the first few levels for uhhh a while now

Neon white is my favorite shooter. Doom 2016 was incredibly sick though and is probably my actual favorite modern shooter.

I'm a huge fan of the bioshock games, but I do think the shooting is a little weak on those, the story and aesthetics carry it. Same with borderlands, pretty generic and repetitive shooting, but the RPG mechanics are addicting and borderlands 2 had an awesome overworld

When I played doom as a kid our computer could not handle the music. So it was this eerie shooter where the silence created a lot of tension, punctuated by the sound effects. I didn't know for years that there actually was a soundtrack of plagiarized butt rock.

Nowadays when I play it, I turn the music off :colbert:

Unless it's doom 64, the music in that one kicks rear end

People are projecting way too much into innocuous comments like "I was 1 when doom came out, I simply don't know anything about it" or making up guys in their head to get mad at. Chill out. It's okay if people don't play the same games you do.
