^This. Took me a while to appreciate the game behind the CGI. And yeah, as has already been mentioned: the lack of the shotgun animation is entirely inexcusable. Other than that it's a great game though.Quote:

Yep. The Doom 64 programmers CONSIDERED using polygon enemies, but they wanted that Doom required enemy spam attack where you open a door and all the creatures of hell pour out on you. :)Quote:

Makes no sense what so ever... sorry and its not even like I'm saying Modern stuff is better. It may have escaped your notice but Exhumed/Power Slave and Duke Nukem 3D are retro them self's . I don't and never have liked Doom any of them. I do admire them for what they did for GFX and game engines, but has games, ind them boring and dull to playQuote:

Neither of them are boring, some of those maps are freaking brutal. Not like the on rails bs kids have today. Back in the day, they threw in some real noggin bogglers with the mindless shooting.
I never found Doom to be scary in the slightest . Now playing Doom III, Alien Vs Predator, System Shock were scary games, but never Doom (even back in the day) Sorry Doom like Bioshock did nothing for me , just wander around shot stuff with lame dull AI and pretty lame puzzles, just found them both dull . Duke Nukem 3D on the other hand was a master piece of an FPSQuote:

If you can't appreciate the classics, I can't take you seriously. Not liking Doom is one thing, but completely dismissing it? That's Kogen crazy. Doom was one of the most prolific games of all time. Ported to anything capable of running it(as well as a couple things barely able to run it), and that's just counting the official ports. Sonic isn't my favorite platformer series. Its not even in my top three, but I can truly appreciate what it did for it's genre.
Just like Doom is supposed to be.Quote:
