Opinion Your 1993 GOTY (DOOM, SimCity 2000, Day of the Tentacle)
- Thread starter Bonfires Down
- Start date
Bonfires Down Would maybe an open google document work?
Example (fully editable, so maybe watch out with formulas. I mean they are easily rewritten and not comlicated, but...)
Just a quick prototype!! Made by me, so it's bad to begin with.
-It should add points
-It should auto look for the best three games
-It has problems when 2+ games have the exact same score, but this should not really be a problem if everybody votes for 5 games.
-I've no idea how google handles multiple, simultaneous entries (people voting at the same time)

Doom 2 encounter design is just as gimmicky as the level design (they're intertwined).
The problem with gimmicks in older games is that they have been copied hundreds of times by newer games. Actual good encounter and level design like in Ultimate Doom are much harder to replicate. They require a designer with natural finesse and talent. Somebody like John Romero.
Incidentally this is another reason why many veterans prefer Ultimate Doom. The Super Shotgun is OP and requires more spongy enemies to compensate.

Ultimate Doom is too easy, even on Ultra Violence Doomguy is too fast and the weapons are too powerful. They did what they had to do with Doom 2, the enemies and positioning are a real threat to your character.
"Many veterans prefer U Doom" Every youtuber I watch plays mods based on Doom 2.

Doom 2 is harder for all the wrong reasons. Bullet sponge, hitscan enemies, maze-like levels, ridiculous mob sizes, ect.
The majority of WADs being for Doom 2 doesn't mean anything. If you look at places like the Doom subreddit, it's obvious which game is more popular.
