Something that always bothered me. Shouldn't "Christian" fundies LOVE Doom? It's a game where you play as a big beefy soldier man who busts into Hell to kill every demon he sees. Shocked they don't assume this is in the Bible.

What the fuck was so controversial about KILLING demons? I can understand Mortal Kombat being controversial but you would think religious people wouldn't oppose the idea of shooting a demon in the face.

okay boomer

What caused the zoomer revisionism that this has le best gameplay ever? Everyone just thought it was good for the time and moved on a few years later. Its legacy was only pioneering the genre.

>pc gaming only took off after 2010

Is Doom a 2D or a 3D game?

>the best shooter of all time had disincentivized aiming to the point where aiming was done using just two fucking keyboard keys
>PC shooters now are just about how fast you can aim at enemy; movement, routing, strategy, game knowledge, etc. are all secondary to "lol just aim at head rly fast XD" like you're playing a damn aim trainer
>this is aggravated even worse by the constant spamming of quicksave and quickload (literal save states) to remove and trivialize all challenge of the game.
What went wrong? This is why I unironically enjoy console shooters more nowadays and why HALO ran circles around PC shooters of its era, because it really felt like a continuation and advancement of that DOOM formula without losing the fundamentals of what makes a shooter game fun.

Well, there it is. The most popular and beloved game of all time.

Why?

>I’m trying to beat this game on Nightmare but it’s just not fun. bullet sponge enemies and confusing levels, sorry but every other FPS released at this time is much better
