Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Goddamnit I'm loving this third era of DOOM.

I have only played the 2016 game, would you say previous titles have aged well?

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Play the OG games if you want. There are a lot of mods that make it more tolerable by modern standards. If you haven't played Eternal yet, though, you definitely should if you enjoyed 2016.

Doom RTX is very impressive too, if you have yourself a raytracing card I'd give that a shot too if you're replaying.

First time? Do it proper. Crunchy crunchy pixels. Mmmm

I haven't :/

I am planning to get into it though.

Doom 3 is good if you don't regard it as a Doom game. It's also an absolute blast in VR thanks to the slower running speed.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Doom 3 is fun on its own, but it's more like Resident Evil than Doom, maybe. More plot, more scare-horror, less run-and-gun.

It definitely needs the duct tape mod, though. I know what they were going for, but it just doesn't work.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I love doom 3, but I also have a vivid memory of a sleepover at a buddy's house in high school where we made a friend play it then we scared the bejesus out of him during one of the early locker scares that we saw coming and he didn't.

Good times.

I liked it (well, after the Duct Tape mod, anyway) and enjoyed having more lore and info. It definitely doesn't feel like a normal doom game, though, so I'll give it that.
