DOOM is only on top for nostalgia purposes. It doesn't hold its weight any more. Yes it was important in the history, but it is not the greatest FPS ever made. Much like the Wright Bros airplane is not the greatest airplane ever made.
The shooting itself was enjoyable.
EVERY.SINGLE.OTHER.THING in that game was crap.
The list was obviously made based on the time it was released. Obviously a lot of these games don't hold up as well today. DOOM is by far the most influential shooter of all time, in fact I don't even think the term FPS existed, it was 'doom clone' back then.
It is still the best and the industry has indeed failed to outdo it.
Bad Company 2 over COD4 is blowing my mind.
I'm not even the biggest CS fan and it should easily be #1 on the list.
Also they put fucking rainbow six Vegas 2 and not raven shield??? The fuck?? And no ghost recon games?? Jesus Christ almighty.
It's not even the best console battlefield let alone PC battlefield.Glad to see the best Battlefield in the top 10.
No. Just...no. The music is fantastic, the graphics clear, the level design immaculate. I could go into detail about how Doom is as good now as it ever was, but it seems it would fall on deaf ears.
Is it a bad list? Don't really care, not a big list guy. I couldn't care less if Half Life was ranked higher than Half Life 2, or where Halo ranks. But Doom is still king to this day, and deserves that #1 spot.
Checkpoints and missions. Those were the game killers. Checkpoints respawned enemies way to fast and the missions were shit because you had to typically drive all the way to the other side of the map every goddamn time.
It's actually my least favorite Far Cry.
Am I the only one who thinks Doom doesn't hold up? I mean it was good at the time, but I'm not seeing how someone can think it's the top FPS ever made.
COD4 at 29? Huh.
It's not even the best console battlefield let alone PC battlefield.
I agree with you. I have no nostalgic attachment to the series and don't think it has aged especially well. The core gameplay is of course still very solid, but then I never found it all that amazing in the first place. In particular I didn't like the level design and I thought Dark Forces for instance was a similar game with much better level design and some much needed context.
Doom is in no way the best fps (PC or otherwise) ever made. Don't get me wrong it's a quality shooter but if it's still the greatest of the genre after all these years the industry has failed.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2??? That was the worst Rainbow Six of all of them? Raven Shield? Vegas 1?
The industry has failed.
I've yet to play Wolf, but I'd be surprised if it tops the highs from Doom.
You can't even aim up or down in Doom. It auto aims for you. Sorry, a game like that can not be the best FPS of all time.
