Wrack has no hitscan enemies, and is made by the former Skulltag dev Carnevil. Has some scoring system too, though while obviously not as good it's as close as a modern release can get to Doom from what I've seen.

You can't judge a game by its mods. It's like saying that Harry Potter is better than the Quixote because it has a lot of varied fanfiction you like. It's fine you like it, but when judging the 2 works (Quixote and Harry Potter), you should be evaluating the works themselves, not what other people have made with them.

Same for video games. It's like saying Warcraft 3 was a good RTS because they had a blast playing custom maps.
>>
>>323725468
there are cutscenes but you're never taken out of first person view, and the non action sequences are basically just "Gordon you gotta go do a thing but there's probably going to be aliens/marines/maphazards, goodluck."

It had virtually the same graphical detail as DooM, but the enemies were actually polygonal instead of sprites.

Not that that mattered - Descent was fucking awesome because you had full 6DoF movement.

>all these plebs
People just can't seem to make good enemy design. Out of all shooters, Doom still comes on top in that regard by a considerable margin. It's weighty but fast movement hasn't really been topped by other games for single player, the only thing that might be an improvement would be to add a weighty jump with little air strafe, but only maybe. The type of level design, abstract visual design, and satisfying music to kill to, and how it plays out when there's tons of enemies to fight isn't really capture in any other shooter.
That being said, Quake 1 is still the best multiplayer shooter, all Quakes after 1 were a mistake, it's all garbage. Only Quake 2 single player was okay. Railgun was a mistake, no air strafe was a mistake, Q3A Shotgun was a mistake. Quake Lives netcode is garbage.

Shit taste confirmed, rest of your list guaranteed void. Do you actually enjoy constant peak railing, made even worse by the limited maneuverability compared to Quake 1? Nades and shotgun are also poorly executed compared to their Quake 2 counterparts. Watch high level TDM and Duel gameplay of 1, and compare it to 3 to see what I mean.

I seriously don't understand positive opinions of Painkiller. Honestly. I played it through one time, with no knowledge of it or its reception, and it was gruelling. Generic worlds and enemies, bosses revolving around stupid puzzle gimmicks, (especially the last boss, holy shit) and gameplay that just felt like off-brand Quake. And the beauty of the series is that every game after the first manages to be worse. I doubt even the fans could think the sequels were good. Not even shotposting, I genuinely can't comprehend why I only see praise for those games whenever they're brought up.

They added a ton of enemies that have around cacodemon health to compensate for that.

Doom 2 really shouldn't have giving you the SSG so early.

None of the new enemies but the chaingunner can be one-shot by it, I mean.

SSG turned everything lesser than Arch-viles into cannon fodder, but you're still gonna be firing slowly into enemies that'll take multiple shots from the super shotgun.

I don't mean to defend the super shotgun, but that's what their idea was (probably).

I didn't imply that.

Before playing a video game with those two movement patterns you didn't know you wanted them. Now you want every game of the same style to have exactly the same movement pattern, instead of wanting every game of the same style to have skill based movement, which might be expressed in new and better forms.

lot's of games have in-fight, but almost none of them have the frequency of doom's

You can run around a level and just trigger fights between monsters, you can't do that with any other game I've played

How is TNT?
Especially comparing it to Doom 2 and Plutonia?

Brutal Doom's reloading mechanic fights the flow of the game. Doesn't fit, is shit, major black mark against the mod.

The Doom 3 BFG (fukkin lame) version has another Doom 2 episode, "NERVE.WAD", shit is good. You'll have to try and pick it up illegally, though.
The BFG edition of Doom 3 made a kinda shit game shittier. Doom 3 is pretty, but the gameplay is unresponsive retarded slow hitscan crap.
At least Doom 4 is going to be gory Halo. For fucks sake.

Congrats on your first 4chan post, kiddo. Unfortunately, though, this place is like bars, dangerous theme park rides and the saloon doors at the video store. You'll find out when you're older, but for now it's best if you buck up and head home, little fella.

Why does nobody make a game where you can "edge" fireballs for bonuses?

it feels like Doom's mechanics start to fall apart the second you emphasis vertical and wide open spaces too much

Nobody said BD "invetend" any of that.
I prefer vanilla Doom myself, but BD is still an interesting gameplay mod.
