/vr/ - Retro Games

I have to confess something.
I don't really like vanilla Doom.

It loads fast compared to modern games, and it runs on everything. I like that. But when I play it, I don't enjoy it. The community's favored map design styles, the enemies, the sound design, the vanilla music, the all-metal music replacement packs... It was always kind of frustrating, and it never grew on me.
Doom 64? Hell yeah. Seemingly inconsequential changes in the sound effects and enemy designs, gloomy levels, tasteful colored lighting, different styles of puzzles, creepy music... It adds up. It feels like a different game. Not the one I want to play, but one I kind of like.

But writing all this out feels like hearing from the doctor that I have cancer. There's no hope, my clock is ticking.
I can't be here much longer.
