anyone who has not at least played the classics, should do so imidiatly. i mean, right now. GO!
the doom games are classics, and great games to play even today. they have a good playabilty factor, even if the graphics are very outdated. but to be honest, all a game needs is a small backstory, and good playability. thats, it. you then have a great game. :3 why do we need to continue advanceing game graphics anyway? in my opinion, people spend to much time, trying to make a tree look like a tree. :/
but anyways, yeh, doom. the classics, and the new ones... and when i say new, i mean *doom 3 and doom 3 resurection.*. what do you guys think of em?
lol those classic games are almost as old as i am, good sure, but id prefer something I haven't played like a thousand times before.
Anywhoo.
I happen to agree with you about story and graphics but I also understand that if an industry is not constantly adapting to changing times then it becomes stale and starts to die out.
Its a balance thing.
the BFG slurps ammo like it isn't no thing, man. :O
A lot of the more modern FPS's doesnt really appeal to me anymore, like the fun have been sucked out of them.
But if we have to talk old-school then i prefferred "Duke Nuke'em 3D" over Doom/Quake since it also had humor and was as serious as any Arnold Schwartzenegger movie, but what really opened my eyes to the FPS scene was Unreal Tournament, think i clocked more hours in that game than the most hardcore WoW fan, he he.
But yeah, the current trend for FPS gaming is too competitive for my taste, what happened to the lighter funnier side of shooting shite? I still have Painkiller installed :D
Yeah I miss the good old days...
...before Halo
We had some old computers and an old LAN router somewhere in the barn. We built a network out of it.
We wasted almost all summer on AOE and Unreal tournament.
I present thee
DOOMRL, for all your roguelike DOOM needs. Funnily enough I think there's more action than in the original.
Also: Ah, the good ol' days, what with all the DOS games. Frontier Elite II anyone? Commander Keen? Dune? :P
Didnt like Cmd. Keen.... now Jack JazzRabbit!
But yeah, I've pretty much completed all those games (Even had the Elite 2 galaxy map on my wall till like 3 months ago)
Hmm, or the old MechWarrior games! yummy! SPACE QUEST! GREAT BLOODY GAME!
MechWarrior was friggin badass.
wow, i should change the subject matter. :D its no longer doom, its all old time games. DISCUSE NOW!
oh, in some cases, i aggree with you nuke. duke nukem was fucking epic.
always count on duke.... unless its for a sequel. then you can go fuck yourself. :3
unreal was another good multiplayer game. :D and the bots wernt half bad. graphics got the job done (like they should). anyways,m yeh, not bad. :3
