>game shoehorns in level-up mechanics
Who keeps asking for this and why do so many developers keep doing it?
But if you think about it games have been doing it for a long time
In Doom 1 you could pick up a backpack which increases your ammo capacity

Yeah, then Quake got rid of it because it was a dumb mechanic
>>339919347
shit developers just include a simple level up system to make the player feel like they are progressing.
it's what happens when devs are not comfortable with the core gameplay mechanics and want to give people an incentive to keep playing, since they don't expect other aspects of teh game to keep people's attention for long.

>Quake got rid of it
Quake was never a Doom game, dummy.
>>339919623
And then Quake 2 added it back
It's an addictive game echanic. It keeps the player hooked and interested, regardless of how artificial it is.

Quake was basically Doom 3

Why was the upgrade system bad? It pretty much gave you more guns but without actually giving you more guns. So rather than switching between 16+ fucking weapons, you switch between the ones available.
