Your favorite doom game in order

[DorkDroll]

First of all, this isn't a post to try to cause hate or bait, it's just something I want to do to get to know the favorite games and try to interact a little with the community.
Please, let's try to keep everything civil, it's just different opinions.

I recently got back to playing doom 3 BFG after many years and I know that some people end up not liking and even hating that game. I think the game is ok and I don't understand the hate about it but that's not the case. This made me think of the games in the franchise that I enjoyed the most and I was curious to know which games players had the most fun.
Me:
1:Doom Eternal
2:Doom 2016
3:Doom 2
4:Doom 3 BFG (unfortunately I didn't play the original)
5:Doom 64
6:Doom (1993)

I know there are other games but unfortunately I haven't played them. But I've loved every DOOM I've played (the games that are further down my list don't mean I didn't, I just ended up liking the others more). Leave your list here and if you want, let us know why you liked or disliked a certain game (i wish i had explained why i liked each game but my english sucks)

i don't usually rank stuff but i guess mine would be:

eternal
d16
doom 2
doom 1
doom 64
doom 3

[ktulu84]

1)Doom 1993
2)Doom Eternal
3)Final Doom
4)Doom 64
5)Doom 2016
6)Doom 3

Doom 1993 is perfectly designed and in my opinion its the best fps game ever created.

Doom eternal is awesome. I love fast paced shooter games

Final Doom is hard, easy and fun. I love getting destroyed by 27 billion chaingunners

Doom 2 is eh, map design is kinda terrible but it has great enemies and weapons.

Doom 64 is eh, it feels too dark and im not a big fan of its artstyle. How the hell did people played this on nintendo consoles back in 1997

Doom 2016 is beautiful but the problem is, I played doom 2016 after playing doom eternal; so it felt so so so so so so slow, it felt boring.no dash,no meathook, no flamebelch...

For doom 3, its was not really a doom game so doom 3s style never really made me want to play it. But i respect people a lot who likes doom 3.

1. Eternal
2. 2016
3. 1
4. 3

Haven't finished the others.

[chester]

I haven't played Doom 64 yet and I have no intention of playing Doom 3, but of the ones I've played:

Doom Eternal
Doom 2016
Doom 2
Doom 1

This is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I think the classic Doom games are overrated. They were incredible at the time, but imo the build engine games and Quake improved on them in almost every way.

[Hundinger]

Eternal
2016

Have barely played the others. Yes, I'm a man of little culture.

[KristopherVector]

Eternal
2016
1993

Have yet to play 2, 64, or 3. I don't really want to play 3.

[MattCryptid]

1)Eternal
2)64
3)2016
4)Doom 1
5)Doom 2
6)Doom 3

If Resurrection of Evil counts then it fits between Doom 1 and 2.

"My favourite Doom game in order".

1) Doom Eternal.

[{LOD} Doomsday]

Not sure how accurate my list would be as I see them all differently. Like the original games are nostalgic af for me having watched my dad play them when I was a wee lad, falling asleep on the floor behind him while eating only the pink Starbursts. Doom 3 is nostalgic for a different reason in that I was a teenager who wasn't so intimidated like the younger me when my dad let me play the originals. Then Doom 2016 was my "I'm an adult now I've got this. Finally back to arena shooter style FPS games after so many years playing Battlefield." And Eternal was more of "My body is ready." (That was somewhat until I got my CE copy in the mail that forced me to use the Bnet launcher.) With that being said here's a rough attempt at a list.

1: Doom 2016 (While I get the arguments that it wasn't as colorful as it should be an as Eternal is, I still really liked the grittier atmosphere of the game, and the combat was great for being the classic simplicity that it was.)

2: Eternal (Love how the speed of combat was increased, dodging is a fun addition, but I didn't care much for the platforming and the more limited ammo reserves meaning I couldn't rely so much on my favorites as I'd have to refill so much that IMO interrupted the combat pace too much by having to chainsaw all the time.)

3: Doom 2 (As groundbreaking as the og is, I feel D2 is perfection. I mean they only added a few more demons and the super shotgun but it felt like they did a whole lot more than that. Also the SSG is a classic.)

4: Doom (Loved how they left the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind as surprises. Wish more games did that with boss like fights more today but now they seem to put them front and center instead. Doesn't leave much room for fun surprises when playing unfortunately.)

5: Final Doom (I mean, it's Plutonia.)

6: Doom 3 (I did not care for the expansion, but base game was fun for what it was. Multiplayer was fun as well. Although the Doom 3 Open Coop mod was a blast. The BFG Edition I've yet to finish, but it's nice having widescreen with it. Never did do the duck tape mod for og D3 but I imagine it'd be nice to avoid jump scares to some extent.)

Have yet to play Doom 64 still even though I got it with Eternal. I'll get around to it eventually someday though.

It's hard to say what's my favorite DOOM game because I wouldn't compare the early ones with Eternal. It's impossible to do. I love the classics, but if I began comparing the rest of the series to them, then from 3 on none of them would be DOOM both for technologic and stylish reasons (see spoiler)...

That being said, it's evident to me that DOOM 2016 and Eternal recalled a lot of things from both the classics and the so-called "DOOM 3" thing (the soul cube in Olivia Pierce's office, Super Turbo Turkey Puncher's cabinet in Advanced Resource Complex and so on), but comparisons should be made between different categories.

Best classic game? The Ultimate DOOM because it's the beginning of everything and I love the maps and their background (both in Phobos/Deimos open areas or Hell).
Most difficult classic? DOOM 2 because of its level design (the begin of gigantic levels), new monsters and mini-boss battles (Spider Mastermind everywhere or the Cyberdemon in Tricks and Traps... I won't mention Gotcha because you can skip that room), let alone the expansions.

Best modern game? Maybe DOOM Eternal for its features, like meat hook and dash that let you feel free to move everywhere.
Hardest modern game? It's hard to say which one is the hardest between 2016 and Eternal, because the combat requires different skills.

So here is my ranking:

Classics first:

1: The Ultimate DOOM;
2: DOOM 2;

Reboots:
1: DOOM Eternal;
2: DOOM 2016.

Let me be clear: double jump is a feature I've seen only on UT2004 videos from YouTube. Dash, praetor suit, etc, are all things that weren't in the classics, but I understand that ID wanted to do innovative titles or else people would have complained that these reboots were too "old". BTW, I've recently played Rage and looks like the reboots are influenced by it as well. However they made a great job and I'm enjoying the newers anyway.

I do not own DOOM 64 yet, so can't judge for now.

DOOM 3 won't be part of my "favorite" list because it isn't DOOM at all and that sucks.

[Grampire]

1. Eternal - probably my favorite game period.
   
2. Doom 2 - while I think thr levels are worse than 1993, it birthed the Super Shotgun - the best shotgun ever made in a video game. Firing it to this day is a spike of dopamine everytime.
   
3. 1993 - one of the most iconic and influential games ever made, and I'm grateful I'm old enough to appreciate what it means to the industry. Also still a lot of fun.
   
4. 2016 - Great game that reignited Doomworld.
   
5. Doom 3 - cool tech demo that has aged poorly. I loved this game when it was released and simply can't get through it anymore.
   
6. Doom64 - "be careful what you wish for applies here." Easy, boring game with horrifying level design. The cooler demon sprites don't save it. IMO - should have remained buried in obscurity (jk, I'm glad people who like it have it back now).

It's hard to answer but I think the best way is to distinguish between modern FPS and old ones. Of the modern games I would say:

1) DooM 3: it is not particularly fast-paced but nvm, it was a very intense FPS/horror experience. Although it had a state-of-art graphics back then, now models and textures have not aged very well, but dynamic light/shadows system and sound design are still very impressive as well as scripted events. I still play it time to time. For me a classic speaking about PC games, just like Half-Life 2. There is also a porting for the first Xbox, but it has a lot of limits.

2) or 3) DooM 2016: simply the best FPS of 2016 and one of the funniest of all times. In some things is still superior to Eternal.
2) or 3) DooM: Eternal: way better than DooM 2016 under a lot of aspects, but I didn't appriciate the forced platforming the put into the game basically for no reason.
DooM 2016 and Eternal look equally enjoyable to me.

4) DooM 3 - Resurrection of Evil: it is a stand alone expansion for DooM 3, but I remember it was nothing of impressive. Basically a bland and lazy "more of the same".

5) DooM 3 - Lost Mission: completely forgettable DLC included into the BFG edition.


Of the old games I would say

1) DooM: it is a pillar of PC gaming, a true "masterpiece" since it has inspired/influenced the realization of tons of other games. What else should we say?

2) DooM II: as good as DooM, except for the final boss. Maybe the worst I have ever seen in a game.
