@LucidViolence: Dude just get a console, if you can afford a PC that can play modern games, you can afford a 360. And you are basically the only person on the planet who wants to play a game like dragon age with a controller on the PC.
And just a thought, do a little googling and I bet people have made programs that let you use a 360 controller with anything. I have a program that lets me use PS3 controllers with anything after all.
@JazGalaxy: You still have yet to say what makes Doom better. And I don't mean graphics and technical ability, I fucking love mount and blade and that game looks like garbage! Modern Warfare revolutionized multiplayer and is the gold standard for multiplayer shooters. It's single player is better than Doom if you compare them. The story is better, the pacing is better, the gunplay feels better, the pacing is better, the level design is better and so on.
Seriously what specifically makes Doom a better game? It lacks a story other than "Hell! Shoot shit!", the pacing is a flat line of AHHHHHH FIGHT from start to finish, you can only aim the guns in very general directions and the enemies are just one big normal hitbox, the level design can be interesting at times but frequently is just downright confusing.
How about this, do you think Doom 2 is better than Doom? Do you think Duke Nukem 3d is better or worse? I think you are just being overly nostalgic and can't understand what these damn kids like these days. Are you saying that we should have never changed anything about Doom, don't fix what ain't broke? Because that would just stagnate the genre. Or are you saying they should have tried to advance but in an entirely different way?
And no you Star Wars comparison does not hold up one bit because modern games are way to different. The times have changed, you have not. @HaroldoNVU said:
... I'd say the more apt comparison would be "reviewing the new Star Wars and then admitting you haven't seen the original Metropolis".
This guy nailed it with that one. The more I think about it the more I realize you are just being old. You have hit the point where nothing new will impress you because you won't ever have that sense of wonderment again. I still agree that Doom had the biggest impact on the industry, bigger than most games of any genre, but Doom is not the best ever. It allowed us to create what is the best now and is still the strong foundation for games we play and will play in the future. Also, Brad played through Doom with cheats when he was little and when he got older we beat it on ultra-violence. So is he credible in your whack ass world view?
