Quake. Doom cant compete with true 3D level design and a CD soundtrack.

>>3331242
I'm tempted to say Quake since I'm a huge fan of NIN and evil edginess, but Doom is simply funner

>>3331252
>funner
Thats not a word anon

reflex

They're both good. Why must we fight?

Quake was too brown and repetitive.
Doom levels had personalities, but Quake maps are just different mazes with different puzzles.

>>3331242
Doom, more enemies on screen at once = a more fun and engaging damage model.

The sheer amount of bullets you had to pump most enemies full of in Quake got repetitive.

Quake.

Doom.

Anybody played ActionQuake back then? I played it with my father all the time

I wish I could still play it

I prefer Doom because it's not as demanding to aim.

Quake. Better level design, better gameplay, better weapons, better music.

>>3331242

Probably Doom.

However Quake III Arena is my favorite game out of either series.

Quake isn't even that good. Sure it can look pretty good, and the "music" is good, but the actual game is pretty mediocre.

>>3331256
I wasn't aware there was an ISO standard for English.

>>3332045
>Doom > Doom 2
I actually agree

>>3332045
>Eat shit and die, Doombabbies.

Ow the edge

Well, Quake is basically Doom except with worse weapons and enemies, and in 3D.

>>3332957
Except not at all, you dumb tripcuck.

>>3331242
Quake for multi Doom for single.

Doom, never got the appeal of Quake

Vanilla Doom > Vanilla Quake, but only by a hair

Non official Quake maps > Non official Doom maps

Doom mods > Quake mods (there are very few anyways)

>>3333042
>Vanilla Doom > Vanilla Quake, but only by a hair
all that matters. The rest is by different people and outside of the control of the devs

Doom 1 has better levels, but Quake's are much better than Doom 2.

>>3332045
>Quake 2
>better than anything

>>3333081
Quake 2 was the only Quake that interested me even to some degree. I think I even played through it. Quite a pretty game too

>>3333089
Terrible taste desu, it has the most boring singleplayer of all of them.

Quake team fortress was very fun.

Also in regular deathmatch you could make your character a naked guy. That was pretty cool.

>Soundtrack

Stop with this meme.

If you consider ambient sound to be a soundtrack, then yes: it's a full fledged opera soundtrack. Otherwise, if you're actually looking for something with a recognizable sound instead of ambient_song_5.jpg, you're SOL. I like Quake, but the only reason the soundtrack get's any praise is because NIN (which is also garbage) was in charge of it.

Come at me, bruh

>>3340727
>the only reason the soundtrack get's any praise is because NIN (which is also garbage) was in charge of it.
not even close. I loved the soundtrack long before I even knew who NIN were.

Ambient sounds are still a soundtrack, and a very fitting soundtrack for quakes dark foreboding ambiance.

The same way cheesy MIDI metal is perfectly suited to dooms cheesy overblown action.

Unfortunately MIDI loses out to a pre-produced CD soundtrack. The quality is far superior, especially considering most people are using their in-built GMIDI sounds when they play doom.

Other ways quake is better than doom
>Better ligthing, mood, lots of exploration
>Better puzzles
>Better multiplayer
>More interesting level design
>More realistic looking textures - not a mish mash of giger and D&D demons
>Better sound / voice acting / foley
>Episodes connected by a physical hub, which open into a boss level
>Great secret levels, Ziggurat Vertigo for example.

Either Qoom or Dake.

>>3340727
>>3331249
Honestly NIN is in my top 2 favourite band of all time, and I find Quake's soundtrack to be average at best. Only like the first half of the title song is any good, the rest is just Trent Reznor pressing random keyboard keys while high on heroine so he can get money to buy even more heroine.

I think it's obvious he didn't put too much effort into it because it wasn't a real NIN album. If you want something in the same style, by him, with some actual work put into it, listen to GHOST.

>>3340749
>heroine
lol. he needed female heroes?

Best single player

I've already played Doom, but I can't play Quake because the copypasta image told me to do things that were impossible.

>>3340974

you should probably go play it. get Doom64EX

>>3340998
Just get the original files from an old games website, run in dosbox and you're good to go.

>>3341029
I played Doom64Ex briefly and didn't care for it. Boring, 2ez, etc

>>3341040
True, I guess if you think Q3 is better than all other iterations, you probably just have shitty multiplayer-based taste

Stop. Quake 2 was kinda boring gameplaywise but the Strogg setting was far more interesting and memorable than whatever disjointed mishmash of ideas for a theme Quake had.

>>3342260
>quake 2 was uninspired because romero left

And Petersen. And McGee.

>>3331242
Quake.

Better level design
Better weapons
Better soundtrack

Better gameplay

Give me a game that combines Quake's gameplay and level design with Doom's monsters, colors, music and weapons.

>>3342375
make it. The editors are all out there. You'll see it's shit

>>3341078
OED actually referenced funner as a word but suggests to only use it in informal context. So unless you're posting a fucking verification of assholes in this thread wearing a fucking tuxedo you can fuck right off.

>>3341078
Also noting that the OED isn't even a good standard. For example they have the word Gaydar in it and it's not even correct.

They also have screenager which isn't actually a word. No one literally uses it and it's not even a good portmanteu and even if people did use it, they'd use it incorrectly 99% of the time anyway.

People say Quake it's better because it has great mutiplayer, but I went through all the hoops to get Quake 1 multiplayer, and the list was full of empty servers, I only found 2 people playing in the whole list. so what's good to be a great MP game if no one is playing?

>>3342498
I say Quake is better because it has better singleplayer.

>>3331967
I think the streamlined design made for a better game. Less key hunting and more action.

>>3331242
I always hear it said that Doom has better SP and Quake has better MP but honestly I even prefer Quake's singleplayer to Doom's.

Maybe it's because I didn't play them back in the day, I played them in the last couple of years. So I don't have a feel for how innovative Doom was at the time. But Quake's definitely aged way better.

>>3342498
>so what's good to be a great MP game if no one is playing?
No one playing the best MP doesn't stop it from being the best MP. Similarly millions of people playing games with awful multiplayer doesn't magically make it good multiplayer.

Popular and good are not synonyms.

Also most people either say Quake is a better game on it's merits overall than suggest that it's better outright simply because of it's multiplayer.

>>3342238
>doom babby thinks this is a revelation
top lol. that video is total ass compared to the quake video and is utterly boring mechanically in comparison

>>3342539
But Doom can be played one-handed since it doesn't has stuff like looking up or down which is a major advantage,

>>3331242
Both.

>>3341375
>Quake 2 has soundtrack you'd actually want to listen to, not Quake.
I hated the quake 2 soundtrack. The whole game felt like a step back from quake. The soundtrack was just boring metal riffs. not even any cool solos. Quake 1 soundtrack gelled perfectly with the quake atmosphere. Much better than MIDI metal covers, which is the issue this thread is about: Quake is superior to Doom.

I mean its not even really a fair comparison. Quake was the evolution of doom, of course its going to be better in every way.

>>3342260
Eh I disagree. Quake 2 was boring techbase through and through. At least quake had some nice lovecraftian and medieval feeling levels, as well as the usual tech base. I personally think quake 1s techbase maps were far superior to Q2's anyway.

>>3342498
>People say Quake it's better because it has great mutiplayer,
Not me. Its all about the singleplayer. I only played multi a little, and while it was fun, I'm judging these games purely on the singleplayer, and quake still provides a much better experience than doom in that respect.

>>3342785
>But Doom can be played one-handed since it doesn't has stuff like looking up or down which is a major advantage,

You're right that is a major advantage, I found it much MUCH harder to masturbate while playing Quake than while playing Doom.

>>3342785
>Doom can be played one-handed
Why you would want to do this, I dont know. Unless you're missing a hand?

>>3342375
I would want the opposite: doom gameplay with quake weapons, textures, colors and music. Keep the quake levels though.

Thats one thing doom did well: balls to the wall gameplay of constant killing, backed into a corner with the finger firmly on the trigger, hoping you dont run out of ammo.

>>3342796
kek

>>3342798
>hoping you dont run out of ammo
yeah if youre a retard

>>3342812
yeah who am I kidding, doom levels were never that well designed to have you actually in danger of running out of ammo.

some mods do this, but not vanilla doom or doom2. Some sections of plutonia get pretty tight though. You will at least run out of ammo for 1 weapon at a time

If stock Doom was as fun and challenging as the mapsets the community produces, I'd pick it. But unfortunately its not, so Quake gets my vote.

>>3340740
Why did you bother to even point out general midi when the entire soundtrack uses general midi rather than GS anyway.

> The quality is far superior, especially considering most people are using their in-built GMIDI sounds when they play doom.
That's a piss poor understanding of midi or it's usage.

>>3341059

Unreal still looks "good" for being from the early 3D era. It really has one of the most beatiful graphics i have ever seen.

>>3344561
>people are using their in-built GMIDI sounds
ie. whatever shitty synthesizer their computer uses to intepret GMIDI data
reading comprehension son. fyi I've been working with MIDI for almost 17 years

>>3331249
>>3340727
I was going to make a thread about this, but I just went through Quake soundtracks earlier.

>It Is Raped
>Fraggot
>"Fuck U Up!"

Why are Quake track titles unusually edgy?

>>3344592
>>It Is Raped
Doom and Quake after Id's key members leave?

>>3340740
>>More realistic looking textures

You're kidding, right?

>>3331242
Or this

>>3344643
Not retro.

>>3344639
More realistic than FireBlu lol

Everyone knows grey and brown is realistic. Most people complain about quake being all brown and grey. Thats because its more realistic than dooms garish bright colors and blue carpets.

>>3344592
>Quake track titles
at no point in the game or game data is this ever apparent. who cares what reznor named them, to us who actually played quake back in the day they were "Track2" "Track3" "Track4" etc.
Doom had a swastika room and exit messages that would make a serial killer cringe. Edge has always been part of iD anyway.

>>3331242
I'm a big fan of Doom, but I lean more towards Quake.
Especially the first two, of course.
Even though they were not alike at all, aside from being a fps.

>>3344580
>I've been working with MIDI for almost 17 years
Coincidentally you seem to be bad at MIDI for almost 17 years.

Also speaking of reading comprehension you should get some yourself. Especially since you didn't even address or notice the point I made in the reply that you specified general midi as opposed to really no other well known standard thus your specification of GM is retarded, especially when Doom's midis were GM.

You also failed to recognize your faulty logic with your raw audio/midi argument.

>>3344685
A pre-produced soundtrack is superior to MIDI data rendered by a 90s computers shitty sound card.

Its not rocket science.

Easily DOOM

>>3340749
IIRC he himself was frustrated with the result, wanting but failing to make it generative, so it changed and adapted to what was happening on screen instead of just playing on a loop.
So what we got was likely an afterthought after some failed experimentation then salvaged to meet a deadline.

>>3342260
Also had a better soundtrack.

>>3344934
Quake 2 soundtrack was awful. Forgettable meathead metal riffs with no interest. at leas the cheesy metal in Doom had guitar solos for some interest. Quake 2 was just bland through and through. The whole game was a huge step back from the atmosphere of quake imo.

>>3345061

Why would you want to do this though? If you want to get off, watch porn or fuck your girlfriend. If you want to play shooters, play shooters.

>>3336490
Wasn't that a Half Life mod?

>>3345092
team fortress classic is a half-life mod based on team fortress which was a quake mod.

>>3340749
I think a few tracks are boring and I would never listen to the whole thing on its own, but a lot of it when coupled with Quake's violent gameplay noises sounds fucking fantastic.

>>3345052
You're an inspiration for birth control!

>>3331242
Why not both?

>>3345223
because it's a decision question, so you got to rank the two exceptional games. The question does not imply the other game is shit

The number of insanely great custom maps for Quake makes it still worth playing SP. ApspX, IKSP series, Zerstorer, etc etc

>>3345236
Tell that to the rest of the thread

>>3336495
What's this, Ted Danson: The Videogame?

Doom: colorful environments with personality and fun gameplay.

Quake: the thing looks like every level was set in a mineshaft or factory and every weapon feels like a paintball gun. Blood and gore was also bordering non-existant

I guess this thread boils down to taste:

Some people like colorful, arcadey shooting with metal MIDI soundtrack, some people prefer realism and a dark atmosphere.

Quake is the technical evolution of doom, so while its far ahead and an actual "modern" shooter, some people just prefer to kill brightly colored sprite demons in a 2.5D environment. Just like some people prefer pac man over modern games. Bright colors, simple gameplay.

>>3346862
>realism
just had to troll, didn't you?

>>3346862
>simple gameplay
and another one I missed. Seriously, if you want to write a summary, don't shit it up with obvious trolling

>>3346867
Quakes palette is much more realistic than dooms. The physics are much better too. Actual lighting instead of sector based. Its more realistic than doom is what I meant.

>>3346871
Quake's gameplay is more advanced. Having to judge grenade bouncing, more dangerous enemies (the fiend versus the pinky for example) 3d environment to navigate during combat.

the standard doom iwads are a breeze. The only way they can crank up the difficulty is to have all monsters move faster and then respawn constantly.

Quake is the evolution of doom. Everything about it is superior. Not sure why you guys are defending doom. It was important, but its not a better game.

>>3346886
>Not sure why you guys are defending doom
then spend a second and think. You're coming off as a very asshole-ish troll at the moment, and statements like this are not helping your case. You're on /vr/ here, a board where people can recognize and understand that even direct successors are not necessarily the better games, despite them being able to do more and be more advanced. So, yeah, I suggest you actually take a moment to think why people might enjoy Doom, and enjoy it even over Quake. If all you can come up with is "not sure why" then kindly fuck off and go back to /v/. Your attitude is more welcomed there.

>>3346886
Bright, contrasting colors and being able to mow down hordes of weak and slow enemies are really important to some people.

>>3331242
Quake for obvious reasons...

>>3346901
>take a moment to think why people might enjoy Doom

>>3347079
rekt

>>3347074
>I thought I already covered this:
those were trollish reasons, trying to paint Doom players as simple-minded people. You admitted yourself that they were trollish, because you don't have an actual answer, as shown by the "Not sure why" comment

>>3346886
In Doom you can't even jump or aim up or down

>>3347242
different movement options do not necessarily lead to a better game

>>3331242
Quake has better vanilla levels but doom has a design formula which allows for more replay value and better custom levels.

Cacoward tier levels dont compete anymore with quake, its like a marathon runner vs a fat kid. Quakes custom levels are impressive visually but not as fun.

Quake doesnt have slaughter but the kind of people who would mope about plutonia and call archviles a meme might like quake better :)

Fighting 1 maybe 2 shamblers gets old, but i shouldnt be too hard on you, you might get a vore too

>>3347250
Yes although it does add to the difficulty and maneuverability in Quake. In Quake the enemies greatly compliment the claustrophobic level design. Doom isn't that hard unless you're trying to complete a level as fast as possible. Quake is difficult even when you're trying to take it slow. The weapons are simpler, but some of the rockets are unique for it to be used in difference and the lightning gun, which takes advantage of the technology. Doom takes longer for you to switch weapons, but you also move faster which can make for a different strategy compared to Quake. The way I see it is, Doom is fun and is more focused on big areas and Quake is more meant for less spacious gameplay. but the type of enemies and actually taking advantage of the Quake engine (i.e. jumping and aiming) in addition with some unique weapons make it the better game. I'm not so sure about the level design though, they're both pretty good

>>3347262
>it does add to the difficulty and maneuverability in Quake
Quake and Doom have different gameplay

>>3347265
to explain on that stub, these controls do not add, because they are necessary for Quake's gameplay, while they'd be useless or get in the way for Doom's gameplay. Different goals, different controls

>>3347262
>Doom isn't that hard
Difficulty is not a proxy for game quality

>>3347270
Not necessarily, it's just the game had aiming and jumping in mind. If you take away all the "added" movements in Quake, it's pretty much Doom but slower movement and like I mentioned claustrophobic mapping. It's not different goals or controls, both function the same but Quake has these things that I personally think add to the gameplay compared to Doom. In Doom your only concerns are movement in shooting, where in Quake your focus involves 2 more concepts, jumping and a y-axis (and z for further away enemies or using a grenade launcher)

>>3347274
My point is it is simple compared to Quake, and while that's not a bad thing I don't see why having a more dumbed-down version I know I'm going to get slack saying thatmakes it better

>>3347319
>Not necessarily, it's just the game had aiming and jumping in mind
That's what I meant by
>because they are necessary for Quake's gameplay

>If you take away all the "added" movements in Quake, it's pretty much Doom
No, it's Quake without aiming and jumping. Doom has different mechanics

>like I mentioned claustrophobic mapping
which is a direct consequence of the games being different

>add to the gameplay compared to Doom
and remove other gameplay

>In Doom your only concerns are movement in shooting
that's a very dishonest and crafted statement in order to create a progression that's not necessarily there. If I take your statement and draw it to conclusion, Descent is the best FPS there ever will be, because it has the most motions. It's obviously not the case, so there must be more to a game than the number of movements at the disposal of the player. Likewise, a game like Pong would not become any more interesting by adding more movement. The game relies on its small set of movement options

>>3347320
>My point is it is simple compared to Quake
>dumbed-down version
Complexity is not a proxy for game quality either

>I don't see
indeed, you don't. That one's more difficult though. I've been in dozens of discussions regarding this aspect, and regularly get shit on for it. Cannot be bothered to do it at the moment. So, let's just say I do not consider your "point" valid at all, and leave it at that.

>>3347332
I see your statement, I still think Quake is the better game. I also won't continue this discussion any further.

Quake

Both are shit compared to the best FPS of the '90s.

>>3331242
Doom All the way.
I've played doom pretty much every year for 20 years straight.

Quake, mostly from personal experience. I spent hundreds of hours just messing about with quark making maps, breaking them, then making them again. map making for doom wasn't even remotely as much fun because of the engine's limitations.

Even disregarding this doom/quake discussion, I find Industrial metal to be a boring and uninspired form of metal.

>>3331242
I do like quake because of multiplayer. I was never the kind of guy who enjoyed exploring labyrinths, I find it boring.

Doom's soundtrack is superior though, no doubt.

>>3349561
Why do people hate Q2? It wasn't THAT bad, and still had good multiplayer.

Is it Romero fanboys?

>>3349730
no idea. It's the only Quake that worked for me. The original Quake (1) always looked so boring, I never even gave it a try. Quake 3 Arena is just multiplayer junk, no interest. Quake 2 though, was a nicely paced sci fi shooter, with a bit of a story going on. I played through it, and that means something, I rarely do.

Chainsaw was OP. You could stunlock most enemies with it. Of course Doombabbies would like it though.

As a Id Software fan since Wolfenstein 3-D, I have to go with Quake.

>>3350053
A chainsaw it's expected to be more OP than an axe.

>>3350189
Axe is less casual, therefore it's superior.

Quake

Err, what? You'd be retarded if you even attempted to chainsaw Knights/Barons, Arachnotrons, Mancubi, Arch-viles, Cyberdemons, or Spidermasterminds.

I actually like how you can't aim up and down in Doom, it makes things more streamlined.

Quake 2 soundtrack is meathead metal riffs.
Doom soundtrack is only slightly better due to having some actual interest
Quake 1 OST blows both out of the water

Like I said: Quake is the evolution of Doom. Better in every way.

I liked it, probably more than a lot of ghosts. It blends in very organically with the game world, being more dark ambient than catchy industrial rock anthem.

I've played so much doom that I'm pretty sick of it by now and prefer quake, preferably in software mode with a good sound system

lol

>streamlined.
thats a nice euphemism for 'casual'

Quake because it invented bunnyhopping.

>>3351162
what?

quake 1 ost is just ambient background sounds except for one song

>>3352115
ambience is preferable to metal wankery

>>3352159
Quake is still fun without the BGM.

easily killed with chainsaw actually. try it.

The genre doesn't matter, for me the expertly made ambience of quake 1 was far better than boring metal with programmed drums of Quake 2.

I remember being very disappointed about the soundtrack in quake 2 when it first came out. The whole game was a step back aesthetically from quake 1. Techbase theme through and through, no darkness, no atmosphere, no variety. In that sense the music was pretty well suited to it.

>shitty game with shitty music
You're right

Since there's no other doom thread on here, is there some sort of mod manager that I can use for doom instead of just dragging what I want into gzdoom everytime?

At least the stunlock made the chainsaw situationally useful, but not OP since it takes time to kill anything with it and other enemies can still attack you while you're busy with your target.

In Quake I used the axe exactly once just to test it out then completely forgot about it. Unless maybe there's some Nightmare-mode ammo saving strategy that I don't know about, it seems kind of crappy.

>>3353398
check into global autoload. google it.

>>3352452
I don't play in zdoom, where they make it easier.

>>3340859
THIS

Nothing else compares to it.

For QvD, I'll go with quake.
