I enjoy it far more than Doom. Most people seem to disagree.

Man, I dunno. Quake is a very, very simple game- you've got a handful of weapons, a smattering of enemy types, and a bunch of small yet extremely well designed levels. You don't even get a between-level intermission map screen or a +use key, just an axe to smack stuff with. A modern AAA game can't be that simple, but adding anything to it risks deviating from what makes Quake 1 what it is- add a railgun or machinegun, suddenly it's Quake 3. Go for more Strogg shit instead of Shamblers, you've got yet another Quake 2 relative. Not to mention how there's even less story to work with than in Doom (and in regards to Doomguy himself)- all the story development on the Quake side of things is in regards to the Strogg branch of things, the original is still "used-future marine gets woken up at 4 AM, everyone is dead, jumps through a slipgate, kills a bunch of shit, spends the next two decades wandering the worlds slowly going insane."
