>Doom II felt massively underwhelming, like a glorified expansion pack to The Ultimate Doom
Ultimate Doom came out after Doom 2 and included Thy Flesh Consumed. I know what you mean and while I agree that Doom 1 is generally the better game, Doom 2 is still top tier.
>DKC is only fun if you plan on speedrunning it, otherwise it's a miserable experience
How so? Besides speedrunning does not make a game more fun, in fact in my experience speedrunning makes me get sick of a game faster because instead of focusing on actually enjoying the game all I am doing is retarting over and over just to get one trick down. Speedrunning feels like a job that you don't even get paid for assuming you don't stream.
>Earthbound is a borderline shameless clone of Dragon Quest with braindead mechanics
By this logic Dragon Quest is a shameless clone of Ultima.
>Super Metroid's controls alone make it a chore to play, map design sucks too
Compare this game to Metroid 1 and 2. It's way more forgiving and fluid. This just sounds like you got filtered by the difficulty.
