on December 10th of 1993 doom was released for MS-DOS
what was you first time playing doom?
i was born in the 87 and i played doom on the sega megadrive 32x for the first time
>>319669707
IT'S DOOMS 22TH ANNIVERSARY AND NOBODY IS POSTING ABOUT IT EXCEPT OP
WHAT THE FUCK /V/, THE BEST SINGLEPLAYER SHOOTER SHOULD BE DISCUSSED MORE
>32X
You too, huh?
>>319669707
I'm 1988 born, and I played Doom for the first time somewhere between 1995-97. I was a Nintenkid, but my friend got a decent PC with lots of these classic shareware shooters.
It was also the first proper PC game I played, and it helped me get rid of my keyboard "phobia" (I thought every key would do SOMETHING to the computer).
Thanks to this game, I'm still quite fluent with KB-only controls. I've even finished some emulated 3D games with nothing but keyboard as a controller.
Later I got Doom 64 for my N64. At first, I was disappointed to realize that it was not a direct port of D1, but a brand new, much more atmospheric sequel.
>>319669707
1996, I didn't play Doom until I was about 12 or so, on the Xbox Live port, but I played Wolfenstein 3D a bunch on the horrible 3D-0 port. After playing Doom on the 360, I loved it, and when I found Doom 2 on Steam I loved it as well. Eventually I downloaded zDoom and the map maker, made a dozen maps, and played the shit out of the game in general. Played 1, 2, both of Final, 64, 3, and a handful of mods. I say that Ultimate Doom is my favorite game of all time, because you have to pick one game to be your #1, but I really mean that "classic" Doom games are my favorite game (1/2/F/64). I use to play solely on HMP, now I play solely on UV. I've done UV-Max and UV-Min runs of most of the games, and I play through them every few years to get that fresh Doom fix.I even wrote a 5 page college-level paper over a Doom II advertisement.Great game, 10/10, will play again.
>MFW Doom is a few months older than me
Still played the shit out of it when I was a kid, though. And Wolfenstein, which I guess is older than me.
I played the shareware version of Doom back in 93. Didn't know how to buy it back then.
Then Doom II came out on a disc made for Windows 95 which also included the DOS version.
I went to visit my grandma one December and saw she had Doom 2 on her computer. Curious, I tried opening it up but it wouldn't load without the CD in the drive. (Those were the days, huh?)
I asked my grandma where the disc was, and she pulled out a wrapped present addressed to me.
The next year, I found Ultimate Doom on the store shelf and picked it up as well.
I still have both of those CDs and many others on my computer desk.
Born in 1990.
I first experienced Doom when my babysitter in 93/94 used to come over and play it.
I was fascinated by it. It seemed like the coolest thing ever.
At the time, the on my varient of it I ever got my hands on was the Chex-Quest rip off (pictured).
A few years later I finally downloaded it onto PC.
It's still one of my favorite games and it had such an impact on me when I was really young that hyped FPS games like Goldeneye never impressed me. It wasnt until the first Halo that I was able to enjoy an FPS again like I can with Doom.
>>319669707
Doom the best
also this happened today: http://store.steampowered.com/app/379720/
Is Doom II a better game?
>>319669707
Born in '93, didn't play Doom til 2013. Started with Chocolate Doom. One of my favorite games now, definitely my favorite shooter.
>>319669707
>tfw doom birthday is my birthday
>except i'm 30 now
>>319673985
More weps and monsters. shittier level design
Overall yes
>>319673985
Doom > Doom II > Final Doom > Doom 64 > Master Levels > Doom 3 > DOOM (based on closed alpha)
>>319669859
>not also the best deathmatch shooter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jQbkE09nIc
I first played Doom two years ago because I was not born when it was first released and now I understand why it's held in such high regards. It really is a very well crafted game.
>>319674072
30 is not old.
Chill brah
>>319669707
Still my favourite game with Doom 2. I still play them sometimes without any mods or whatsoever.
'88 here and I first played the shareware in '95.
And don't forget the similar games like Heretic or Hexen. They were awesome too.
>>319669707
My first time playing DOOM was ~2011 and the GBA-version emulated on my xperia play. Shit was fun as fuck.
Blood > Doom
>>319669707
I thought i played Doom, but it turns out it was Doom 2, not long after it released
Doom 3 is underrated
>>319674780
agreed, it's still the worst from the main 3 doom games though
>>319669707
>what was you first time playing doom?
Last year. I now have an addiction and am seeking help.
>claims he's a DOOM fanatic
>hasn't played doom 64
>>319674780
It's good for what it is
Excellent gunplay and creepy atmosphere
First Doom game I played was Final Doom on ps1. Im a pussy so it scared the shit out of me. Old fps games hurt my eyes.
>>319674780
Are there any mods that make it more like old school Doom 1? (sans Classic Doom 3 obviously)
I really liked the Martian backstory of it too.
>>319674780
I think it could've been better if they didnt try making it a Doom game. Just go all-out with the surivival horror thing, it was doing pretty good job at it.
>>319674780
One of the few games I've played where the console version is superior to the PC version
>>319675079
They've made 64 doom games? Jesus fucking christ
>>319675531
I think they're including the 61 megawads inbetween Doom 2 and Doom 64
>>319675531
nigger, starcraft got an N64 release. That was a port machine
>>319675662
Doom 64 isnt a port btw, it's its own game
and i dont think starcraft ever actually came out on n64
>>319675662
>not getting it this hard
Fuck, happy birthday I guess DOOM.
Maybe I should play through it today.
>>319674594
Doom > Blood
>>319675452

I'm 24 and just played Ultimate Doom and Doom II earlier this week. Should I play the rest of Final Doom? Shit was so cash by the way.
>>319676903
Yeah anon final doom is really fun, but some of the levels are pretty damn tough.
>>319676903
Do it.
It's hard as shit but worth it.
>>319676903
Plutonia sucks
I didnt bother with the other one cause Plutonia gave a bad taste
>>319669707
i dunno when i first played it but it was the shareware version and played it so much and didnt even realise it was just a demo until years later (same with douk blood etc)
>>319669707
>doom 1 is one of my favourite games of all time
>doom 2 has so garbage level design I didn't even finish it
I don't feel like playing wads, I enjoy play the game vanilla as the devs made it, but even though 2 improved on everything sandy really did all he could to shit out the worst maps he could
>>319669707
born in 85
played this on PC as a really young kid. I remember renting it from a computer store in hoboken who rented out PC discs, and just never uninstalled it.
fucking amazing game.
>>319677461
>I enjoy play the game vanilla as the devs made it
The devs intended people to make their own levels for infinite enjoyment.
>>319677808
that's why I said how the devs made it, not intended, cause I know they did intend it to be modded
>>319677876
There's some damnass good megawads out there, I recommend trying some of the popular ones
I'm a nintendrone so I really enjoyed The Golden Souls
Born in 89, I remember sitting on the desk watching my dad play against his friends over telnet. I remember my dad would let me play even though my mother was against it. Episode 1 is my favourite set of original levels but the monster variety and the double shotgun make the core gameplay of II better.
I'll never understand people like >>319677461
there are so many amazing .wads out there I will probably play Doom for the rest of my life and never run out of content.
>>319674780
Definitely. Story was surprisingly good, especially the Ancient Martian backstory.
>Soulcube is bae
Born in 88, first played Doom in 94 I think. I remember my older brother installing the shareware on floppy discs. I remember my first experience with Windows was memorizing the DOS commands to run Doom.
>mfw blowing demons into chunks with the shotgun
I used to watch my uncle play Wolfenstein and Doom as a kid. Spider demon was scary as fuck.
>>319676659
Naw he's right.
The Xbox version has a bunch of extras the PC version doesn't, most notably exclusive multiplayer maps and co-op play.
Is BFG worth it?
>>319678769
You have that on PC too and more so
>>319678796
only if you manage to find a mod which removes armor flashlight
>>319673689
lol you almost had me believing you until the last line
>>319669707
Born in 81, played shareware DooM on release, then the full game game not long after.
I have played pretty much every official DooM in existence except for the GBA one.
I still continue to play DooM 22 years later.
Born in 1990. My mother got my a cd-rom of a bunch of shareware games from the library when I was like 6 or 7. It was the first M-rated game I ever played and my little mind was blown.
>>319678796
No the HD Doom 3 is just Doom 3
The other two Dooms are just the DOS styles or something. GZDoom is much better if you are going for 1/2.
>>319678838
>You have that on PC too and more so
This is false.
PC has better enemy models and less loading screens.
Xbox has more content.
In fact, the original Doom and Doom 2 games on the Xbox version (not included in PC release) have exclusive levels that have yet to appear anywhere else.
>>319675079
shrug, i've no interest in consoles. or smartphones. computers you can't easily program yourself.
>>319679052
>I don't know what mods are
How sad.
>>319678928
Halo CE is good
>>319679052
You have coop mods and entire SP mods for PC
>>319669707
born 85, also my birthday
played doom when it came out, shit was super cash
then doom 2 happened and was even more cash than the previous cash
>the game that defined a genre had a sequel that tops literally everything else in the category
Why did Doom II have the be released so early? Will it ever be topped?
>>319678769
All at a silky smooth 15 frames per second.
>>319677307
PLutonia was made SPECIFICALLY for poeple who found the orignal games too easy. Its not for everyone.
-93, played for the first time in 98-99 on win95
>>319675816

>>319679237
>All at a silky smooth 15 frames per second.
False.
I prefer gaming on PC, but the co op for Doom 3 on Xbox is flawless.
It feels bad that I will never see another line of Doom source code.
One of the first exposures I had to code was with the Doom source, Carmack is amazing.
>>319669707
I was born in the same year, weow lad I didn't play it as a kid.
>>319677461
Sandy had no other choice because Romero was too busy making all the other level designer employees play deathmatch against him all day. That is when he actually bothered to show up to work instead of swanning around getting sucked off by the fans/journalists.
I remember watching my dad play doom when i was just a wee tod.
The first time i actually played it was just two years ago, when i discovered ZDaemon.
To this day, Doom is probably one of the few games that i would actually call perfect. It just ages like fine wine, even the sprite grafics, also i am a whore for early 3d environments.
>>319674417
It is when you have nothing to show for it.
>>319679052
>Xbox has more content
lolwut? They literally had to trim down some of the levels to make it fit in the 64MB RAM on the Xbox
Still, incredibly admirable work on id's part to make it run at 60fps with full dynamic lighting including stencil shadows. Seriously impressive shit considering the hardware.
My memory is shitty but I believe I first played that Simpson's mod before playing Doom properly
>>319679559
Agreed.
For all it's worth it's the game I hold dearest, first I played with such excitement.
Still play it from time to time, always have a copy available.
>>319674343
Quake 3 was an improvement honestly, nothing ever beat that though
>>319669707
born in '91
my dad was a doom fanatic and he got me into it when I learned how to work a keyboard
I grew up with doom and quake
there was never another shooter like them, not even close
all the other devs did something easy when it came to level design and mutliplayer. id did something hard and it payed off more than they imagined
to you id, the founders and still masters of the FPS
My dad has a picture of me playing in 94, but I was too young to remember thatiddqd. Most of my memories are of when my sisters and I would all gather around and watch my dad play.
>>319669707
the sound is the part that stuck with me the most.
I don't remember how old I was when I played, but I was young. The rumbling growls of off-screen pinkies put me on edge. The tear of an imp meleeing me got my heart pounding.
The music pumped me up. The shot gun was a comforting thump.
And I still hear the fucking door noise everywhere. It's a fucking Wilhelm Scream
>>319674072
Happy birthday anon! I hope its a good one.
Guys, ID Sfot just posted a picture of the Revenant rather than the Doomguy, its oficial, they didnt just fucked up his design, they replaced him.
They noticed how people liked the rip and tear meme but not how much praise Doomguy gets, WHY ID SOFTWARE?
>>319680501
that was beautiful, anon
So doom 3 or doom 3 BFG? I heard BFG removed some stuff, is that true? What is even improved, textures and lights or some shit?
I've already played a shit ton of the other ones, so I'm not going to buy those, but I haven't played 3 yet .
>>319681818
Why did they make his helmet green and give him robot gloves? He just looks like a Halo character.
>>319669707
born in the same year, anon
Doom is the GOAT
Born 1996, DOOM II is my favorite game to this day, fond memories of watching my brother play it in our garage while listening to Metallica.
Reading through Masters of DOOM right now just solidifies why this game is my favorite. Truly some of the beat game design to date
I don't care if DOOM 4 is slow, I will still buy it, I will enjoy it, and I will hope for the return of the arena shooter genre
>>319684162
>born in 1996
>will buy brootal doom 4
Please be bait
>>319683605
That's the design from Doom 1/2, you underage faggot.
I was born 1994 and played Doom for the first time last year, on a PC with vertical mouselook enabled.
>>319684162
>I will hope for the return of the arena shooter genre
then you better start paying attention to UT4 and Reflex because the Doom 4 multiplayer is pretty much a Halo game without the charm
>>319684624
No, it is not bait, I know it's not the DOOM I fell in love with, I'm aware after playing the alpha, but I still love the series, I will play it and there's no amount of shit posting that can change that
>>319669707
1991
I still play atleast vanilla DOOM1/2 every 5 months.
>>319684939
Yeah, DOOM 4 closed alpha was a bit dissapointing to me, I just want to hit people with a satisfying rail gun or a rocket launcher
>>319674780
It's boring and bland. Bad level design, weapons with no impact and the same tempo for the whole game. Ressurection of evil kinda got better, but Doom 3 in itself is a horrible game, on par with Quake 4.
>>319684939
Atleast its much faster then Halo the base moment speed that is. But i was pretty fucking sad myself when i saw multiplayer footage and legitimately not even as a joke thought to myself "Man Halo got grimdark and fast" and then i looked the title of the video.
I mean it looks more fun then most shooters nowadays but i agree UT4 is a much better shooter if you're seeking a traditional arena shooter. I also have hopes for Inner Chains but with no footage they are just hopes.
What a coincidence, this morning I randomly felt like starting up a game of Doom 2. It's a few years older than me (18fag) but Doom still plays better than the shitty FPS they make now
>>319685398
>Atleast its much faster then Halo the base moment speed that is
...its not though. even Halo 3 (the slowest halo game) is a little faster
>>319685398
>its much faster then Halo the base moment speed that is
uhhh, no. I think you need to play halo again because doom is definitely slower
>>319685510
You're bullshitting i've seen the latest footage available the basic movement speed is easily 1.5x faster then any Halo game. Its gotten faster since the Quakecon build atleast in that regard.
Stop looking at retards holding down the don't sprint button like you can sprint forever and shoot in 4.
>>319685398
>>319685636
I played ~20 matches of the alpha and I'm an avid halo player
its slower. I don't know what footage they had earlier, but in the alpha, the base movement is slower than any halo game
not much slower, but slower
>>319683494
bump
'95 here, played Doom for the first time a few months ago (through GZDoom) and loved it. Played Doom 2 and 64 EX afterwards and really enjoyed those. Couldn't really get into 3 though
Born in 86, Doom2 was my first, guy that built our computer for us at the time a 486 (it was the mid 90s) left it in there to test the video card. Didn't build my first computer myself til 2000. Think it's the only one of them that I actually beat too.
'95
I believe I first played Doom 1 when I was really fucking young, I remember first playing it about late 1998 I think, at least from what my dad says. I was fucking awful at it of course but I got slightly better.
At some point my dad had gotten rid of 1 and installed 2. I don't think I noticed for at least a day or two.
>>319684734
No it isnt because his helmet is grey and gloves are some sort of mix or brown and grey, also he has a face
>>319684734
No it's not, you colourblind faggot.
>>319687760
Why cant ID stop this "Doomguy is you" nonsense and understand the love people have in this character?, for fuck's sake, he's even related to BJ and was a skater in Tony Hawk once
>>319687760
Doomguy will always be better than Haloguy.

>>319669707
Was born in '95, I and remember watching my brother and his friends play the game when I was like five.
I'm from slavlands, and we were the only household that actually had a computer at that time, so there were like 6 of us huddled in front of the monitor.
>>319669707
i played it in 2012 as it came with the doom 3 BFG edition
I first played it last year, maybe early this year even, the GBA version on an emulator, and also the DOS version on a DOS emulator.
Been playing since 1996 every few months.
Best game ever for me, no questions.I just turned 32 a month ago.
>>319692791
>I just turned 32 a month ago.
same here, anon. I started playing Quake 1 just a few weeks ago
feels good to play a great campaign again
I like doom.
Shame though the new doom is called halo clone, because it's plays like halo and looks like halo. You have old enough to see how bad doom has become.
I was 7 and mormon. my mom ran a daycare and one of the kids there told me his dad had it on PC. We arranged a sleepover and waited for his parents to go to sleep. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life. We were scared and thrilled at the same time and didn't sleep a wink. Life will never be that rad again.
>>319679117
Well you're missing out on the official sequel to Doom 2 and ending of the series.
Besides, there's been a PC version for a while now.

Is there a point to buying Doom off Steam if you can play it using GZDoom? id doesn't even get the money anymore
>>319703735
Carmack said he doesn't care if you pirate it. Nobody from the development team sees a dime of the money.
So yes, there is no point to buying the originals anymore.
>>319701531
Barely is good enough for me, I love DOOM
>>319669707
Not the first time, but one time I beat doom on a blackberry while waiting in an airport

It must have been 1994 when I first played Doom shareware because it was well before my family got their own PC in '95. I played it on a 486 DOS system with a turbo button. As I recall they needed to use a special boot disc to have enough free memory to run Doom. When I got my own PC (Pentium 133 Mhz) I suffered the Doom 95 version (also shareware.) The first full Doom game I ever played was Final Doom which I rented (renting installable PC games, what a joke!) which also used Doom 95 as an executable. I never played proper doom.exe and doom2.exe (and the full wads) until a few years later. I'm not sure where I got them from now, because the only commerical versions of Doom I have ever seen in Australia use Doom 95 and do not include the DOS executables.
>>319704858
Neat.

Born in '90, first time saw some dudes playing doom in the school library when I was 8yrs old on msdos computers.
My tiny child mind was blown. They even had LAN matches. I used to spectate with other friends and watch in awe as the more older students at the school were going at it.
>>319687760
Did they ever use these sprites? I don't think I've ever seen him severed in half like that.
>>319705870
No.
