Wrong.

Id software was acquired a long time ago. They were still Id software at that point. The folding is something far worse that happened later when Carmack left.

They were aquired in 2009. Carmack didn't leave until 2013 to go work on VR. Very different.

Id in 2009 was still Id. In 2014 though they were gone.

Its more like saying Konami's next game is ... non existent. And that's the case. Kojima left, and Konami may as well not make games anymore.

Carmack left, and Id may as well not exist anymore.

Id Hasn't been in good shape since John Romero left. John Carmack and John Romero were a good team intill they got too big for each other. John Carmack making very good streamline games quake 3, doom 3. John Romero making wide random jumps that end badly, daikatana. If the divide didn't happen I think Carmack would of stopped Romero take those retarded risks and they could of made better games than what followed.

I think they complemented each other in making the first games that are agreed to be good doom, wolfenstein, quake.

Rage was a pretty bad borderlands game.

Man I really loved Doom 3. The audio logs were still the best audio logs in any game I've played. Course I played through it before I picked up HL2 so the experience wasn't tainted by how amazing HL2 was.

Doom 3 had some good stuff near the end, it only had 2 boss fights though. I really liked the story of it going through the logs.

There was one of those rooms you follow the robot, the last one you don't get a light. I ran through there with the shotgun waiting for the imps to start their fireballs to show me where too shoot was really fun. I bought the ultimate edition but never really played it, the game is really dated.

Well, they were a step up from serious sam by actually being varied and interesting to look at sometimes, but it was just "oh, you defeated everyone in this arena? Okay this locked door is now open, please proceed to the next arena where everyone spontaneously spawns in around you, and you kill them to unlock the next door to the next area." It is incredibly forced and the enemies are boring to fight most of the time. I forced myself through it, but I don't think I'll ever willing play painkiller ever again. Not to say that there weren't some levels in there that broke the mold, the amusement park comes to mind.

Shadow warrior was the same, but actually had a decent overarching story as well, and varied the enemies sometimes. I found the guns boring to play with though.

Serious Sam is not a serious game. It's meant to be played in a lan on the highest difficulty with unlimited spawns.

Serious Sam SE is the best, serious Sam 2 is complete poo poo, serious Sam BFE was pretty good!

Last level of BFE actually felt like a SE level, it took like 4 hours to play it with hundreds of monsters on the screen.

gently caress those were good games.

Tbh I found the game scary as gently caress. As in I couldn't play more than a few hours w/o getting too creeped out. Hadn't really played any survival horror games before that.

About halfway through either due to the change in level design or just getting psychologically hardened, it shifted into more of blasting poo poo.

Still remember that early sequence where the guy is like "up here!" and I'm like "yes. lets just live here and wait this whole thing out"

After the floaters chased the truck I was like :frogout:. But I just toughed through it.

I love Doom 3, but by the time the game gets going there's only 7 levels left. Everything from the beginning until you reach Hell, which is around 17 levels I think? Is almost always Imps, Imps and more Imps, all which you can instakill with your shotgun while they're doing their teleport/growling animation. By the time the game starts varying up enemies, switching to mid-long range encounters, and getting somewhat challenging, there's only two hours left, tops. The Resurrection of Evil expansion pack was a bit better about this despite its love for that new enemy they introduced (that faster Imp variant), but it also had that lovely gimmick artefact that trivialized a lot of the combat.

The regular doom 3 artifact made the game super easy too.

Its weird, Bioshock gets all the credit for the audio logs

Thats because it was on the Xbox and all the kids who played Halo(The First First Person Shooter, online multiplayer game). I'm pretty sure a ton of games had audio logs.

System Shock 2 had audio logs.

I thought the Doom movie was not the worse video game to movie translation that lost everything about the video game in the process. I think they did a good job cutting it together and keeping the main details there.

Except for the kungfu battle at the end.

Related to this, how were the modern Rise of the Triad and Shadow Warrior remakes? I own both on Steam but haven't had a chance to play them yet - my PC largely poo poo the bed and I haven't been able to rebuild it yet due to other expenses.

Shadow warrior was amazing.

It didn't feel like classic doom to me at all. It feels like Halo with cheesy gore. No run key, have to upgrade armor and guns, got a lot of buyers remorse on this one.

Getting lost on maps is one of the things that feels like the old games. No reloading is odd. Always sprinting and unlimited stamina makes me feel more hellish than the demons.
