I remember I played Doom 64 but I paid it dust to play Duke Nukem. Doom 3 was alright on Xbox but it aged terribly and all the flaws show easily now. I have no interest in the new one but hope its good for those who want it.

Wolfenstein and Doom, outside of the novelty of being the first FPS, were really bad games. They don't hold up, they aren't well designed, they aren't good.
 

Watched it. Felt nothing. I don't think I'm old enough to feel old yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Can we at least agree that StarFox Zero is junk and Miyamoto needs to -- REALLY needs to finally be put out to pasture? Let the kids who made Splatoon take over already.

Well it certainly looks like it'd be bad, and that's what reviewers I trust are saying, but I haven't played it and I never got into StarFox before so I can't really say for myself.

Also I like how Kinda Funny reviews games without showing them. They just have a discussion about the game around their coffee table. I feel like it's more effective because it allows me to pay attention to what they're saying rather than zoning out on the B-roll.

The Wolfenstein reboot from what I gather was well received but the feedback on Doom beta seems mostly negative. I guess Wolfenstein won in the end.

Are we sure this isn't your third person bias talking here?

I have respect for what Miyamoto did in the early days, but holy shit does the guy need to just bounce off already.

They should just hire me as a consultant. Seriously. They're too couped up and have no perspective over there at Nintendo. They could have just run the idea by me "Okay, so, it's a Star Fox game, but you have to keep looking down at the controller in order to aim, and you aim with the motion controls, and you keep looking back and forth between the two screens -- yeah, this is an action game, but you have to keep looking back and forth." I'd stare blankly in disbelief for a few seconds, tap the guy on the noggin and ask if anyone's home, and collect my paycheck.

This is a top down mandate. Game design this unbelievably bad doesn't come about organically. It couldn't. It has to come from a deranged person with power and authority.

Early FPS were rough, man. Dark Forces was the first one that started to get good -- but still, shit was rough.


Oh my god are some of the people in this thread assholes. I'd bring a flamethrower in there if I could

I remember the doom games having these really intricate level designs. It was basically opposite of the linear setpiece shit we have these days.

Because of that I'll always have a certain fondness for them.

I play and beat Doom and Doom 2 yearly.

It's a goddamned classic that still holds up and plays better than most modern FPS. As far as map design goes, the only two games that rival the original Doom games are Blood and SiN, both also REALLY old school shooters (Blood being a Build engine game and SiN using a souped version of Quake 2's).

Ah, memories. Those were the golden years of FPS. Blood was awesome, who will ever forget playing football with zombie's head :D
I wasted so many hours in online Q2 that I ventured into problems at school(I was playing it non-stop, fuck homework). And my dad took modem cable from me several times, when phone bill arrived :D

Off to bed, have a nice morning/day/night

It looked like everyone was insulting his avocados.

Nobody insults avocados on my watch. You could say I was triggered
 
dude I brag about my avocado meals all the time and Funky never misses an opportunity to give me shit about it. I am merely celebrating his upgrade in palate.
