DOOM: The Thread

Sorry, but there it is.

You'll rarely find people who are just 'well meh' about Doom 2016, it's very, very divisive, you'll either love or hate it - and I'm a hater. I'd rather suck on the exhaust pipe of a lorry than play Doom 2016 again.

If we break it down, we'll see that the people who like it are often the ones who naturally play games quickly and aggressively as a matter of course. They'll blast through maps and levels, running and gunning constantly, strafing around obstacles and never standing still.

The ones who hate it are often more like myself - they prefer to take maps and levels very slowly and methodically, sneaking round corners, sniping enemies from cover, setting up ambushes and killing grounds etc. Doom 2016 actively punishes anyone who tries to play it in this manner - which is why I personally don't like it. Doom 3 was far more my cup of tea.

Because Doom is not a sneaking or sniping game, its a run and gun game and has been since the 90s.
