Best game ever?

[Wyatt Bernstein]

Personally in my opinion, yes.
What about yall? If not lmk what yall think the best game is

[Sticky White Stuff]

Nope. But one of the best modern FPS titles? Yeah. I mean, there are plenty more, but for an AAA title, both modern Doom games were top tier. Some Indie FPS games outshine them, however. But they are close.

It's hard to choose a favorite game ever, as i love multiple franchises, From Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Doom, Quake, CastleVania, EldenSekiroSoulsborne and all the modern/retro inovative FPS games we are getting.

I personally think that Doom 1993 is the best fps game ever made, everything about doom 1993 is good and it has zero problems. God tier OST, good gameplay, challenge, good level design, filled with horror elements, has good gore etc...

Doom eternal is good but not good as doom 1,

honorable mention: doom 2 sucks

[Sticky White Stuff]

Doom 2 is great and so is Doom 64 and Doom PS1.

I just hate doom 2's level design, its just awful, especially city levels. I love its soundtracks, enemies and weapons but the level design turns me off really badly

thats why i prefer plutonia experiment over doom 2

I cant talk about doom64 since it never attracted me, its a good game tho

[Sticky White Stuff]

Fair. I also think the original Doom is better, while Doom 2 feels more like an expansion to it. However i like both games, and someone who plays a lot of WADs, Doom 2 is the to-go game for it. But as standalone games, the original is hardly matched.

Original Doom is an important milestone in the history of video games and perhaps the most important milestone in the history of FPS, but it was instantly obsoleted by Doom 2 and its fantastic and inventive set of monsters.

“But muh Knee Deep” - yeah, if I wanted to shoot humanoids with a shotgun I’d rather play FEAR (another overrated game).

[Sticky White Stuff]

FEAR might have a crap story, but the AI design and shooting is still unparralleld to this day with the slow motion and all that particles.

I like Doom 1 level design more, overall. Doom 2 fells like an expansion pack, or rather, an improvement over the original by a small margin. They could have packed a lot more into it, but it's still fantastic. Both games go down in history as one of the best, along with Quake 1.

In my opinion, the topic of the best first-person shooter game is highly subjective and challenging to define. The question of which era we are considering is crucial as it is difficult to compare games from the 1990s with those from 2020. One cannot compare new massively multiplayer online games to those from the 1990s, instead, it is more appropriate to compare them with the current industry standards (WoW).
In that sense, in my opinion Doom from 1993 remains an all-time classic, however, it is not fair to compare it to contemporary games. Currently, there is no real competition that meets the criteria of Doom Eternal, making it a clear winner without any close contenders, leaving a sense of incompleteness in my opinion.
However, when comparing it to other popular FPS games of recent times, such as Call of Duty, Halo Infinite and Overwatch, it falls behind in my opinion. This is because it is not as fun, not as innovative or smart in its game design, and focuses too much on the "dance dance revolution" fight mechanics, which detracts from the otherwise cool-looking game. Perhaps the next Doom installment will succeed in addressing these challenges. Additionally, the multiplayer aspect of the game was poorly executed to say it in a nice way! Doom without proper MP is like PUBG without battle royale in my opinion.

Ah yes, CoD and Halo are the pinnacle of innovative FPS design.

[HarleyIsntReal]

no it still sucks

[Sar]

Hey, Halo CE was innovative and pretty cool at some point. Call of Duty is just a pretty shooting gallery, I enjoy it from time to time but it’s primitive and not that well designed. Talking strictly about SP, of course (which Overwatch doesn’t even have).

This is true.
D:E was the biggest leisure-based over-promise of 2020.

DOOM64 FTW.
It was the best thing to come from the D:E release, in my opinion.

Ah yes, Doom 2016 and DE are the pinnacle of innovative FPS design.
*mic drop*

Sure, CoD and Halo might not be as "innovative" as the original Doom, but they've certainly come a long way since their inception. The Halo franchise has a successful TV show, multiple bestselling games and even a feature film in development. The Call of Duty franchise is one of the most successful and profitable gaming franchises of all time, with millions of players logging in daily. And let's not forget the esports scene, both Halo and Call of Duty have thriving esports communities with huge tournaments and prize pools.
Let us see what Doom Eternal has in this sector.........
*the sound of crickets chirping*


On the other hand, Doom Eternal, while a great game in its own right, has not reached the same level of mainstream success and cultural impact as Halo or Call of Duty. It has not had the same level of player engagement, and it hasn't seen the same level of investment in esports or media ventures. So, while it's easy to dismiss Call of Duty and Halo as "mainstream" or "overhyped," the reality is that they have achieved a level of success and cultural impact that Doom Eternal has not yet reached.

[Sar]

Saying “Halo had a successful TV show” is a bit like saying “Doom had two successful movies”.

Edit: I expected better arguments than argumentum ad populum from a self-professed game design enthusiast (perhaps an analysis of how cover based hits can shooters like Call of Duty were a breath of fresh air for stale FPS genre), but I should’ve known better.
