doom 1 vs doom 2 vs doom 3?

[HACKEADA!]

Which one is best? I am looking for a scary game but at the same time have lots of action, tense/realistic atmosphere.

Doom 1 and 2 (and also final Doom) are almost the same games with differents levels , and Doom 2 having more monsters and weapons ... they're more focused on action and shooting rather then immersion , they also have more action in them . the fights tends to get intense during some of the harder levels of both Doom 1 and 2.


Doom 3 is more focused on the atmosphere , the action is slower and the fight themselve are less intense. compared to Doom 1 , 2 and final doom Doom 3 has way less enemies at the same time ... and the PDA and audio logs that give hints that are sometime required to grab more ammo and guns which tend to slow down the game even more.


Doom 1 and Doom 2 have more actions while Doom 3 have a better atmosphere.

which is more fun to play do you reckon?

personally I prefer the old doom (Doom 1 2 and final Doom) over the third , but then maybe it's just nostalgia in my case. :P

[HACKEADA!]

yeah everyone suggests the first two for some reason... Do you know when they will be on sale?

realistic? Doom is not the franchise you're looking for.

DOOM 3 ! Good horror.

doom 3 isnt really comparable to the first 2. All are super awesome though. As for horror, definitely doom 3 (graphically, and storywise)

for horror, doom 3 all the way.. action.. original doom.. all are fun though

If memory serves, Doom1 and Doom2 have been free on the web for a number of years.
John Carmack said that Doom3 is what he was envisaging when he created Wolfenstein3D.
Incidentally, I played Quake2 more than any other iD game.

doom 3 is not reslitic and not horror its a fast fps super tense like quake 1 was, one of the best shoothers i have ever played

Doom and Doom 2 are not free. There are lots of sourceports available for free that help you run the games on newer systems and add all sorts of features, but all of them require the original game data which is not freely distributed.

You wont get tense realistic atmosphere from Doom 1 or 2 because they are about 20 years old, 2D games with extremely limited shadows and lighting,

You could watch some youtube gameplay vids and form your own opinion though.

If you want a more horror themed shooter try FEAR 2. The original FEAR was technically better, but looks quite dated now.

Quake 4 is another alternative. It is more gory than Doom3 and the graphics are an improvement.

Doom 3, Doom 1 and 2 are definatley better
but if you want Horror + Action + Atmosphere
Doom 3 is your awnser
