Not gonna lie mate. The idea that Doom, one of the most influential games ever made, that literally led to the FPS genre being referred to as "Doom Clones", wasn't one of the most beloved games of the era is certainly *a* take.

OP said that nobody ever talks about 90s PC games, so I responded with one of the most talked about games ever, I think you missed the plot here.

But we all know OP meant the games beyond DOOM and the OP is right lol. I would say you have lost the plot if you actually cared about the plot here, mate lol.

I don't care if something is first or early of its kind. I won't think a painting is good just because the painter died 500 years ago or I won't act like a book is legendary just because it's the first in its genre. I will never discuss how cave paintings that painted a very long time ago are important for visual arts lol. It doesn't change the fact that these games weren't good enough for me and I never thought 3D improved a game. I prefer playing Zero Tolerance because it's a decent first FPS game you probably can find in the history of FPSs while I don't think DOOM was ever a decent game worthy to even play. Since my brain cannot comprehend what's nostalgia and I'm not an emotional man, I can see how DOOM always was a bad game and I won't even mention the cringy teen BS the game is lol. DOOM had a cult, as anything despite how BS it can have a cult and therefore only their fan bois have high esteem for whatever they love. However in recent years DOOMs only existence is about making it run in anything as a fun meme, not because the game is hot shit lol. In that context Zero Tolerance felt more normal and better in a "finally a decent FPS game" and if you had said Zero Tolerance is "DOOM-clone" I would laugh so hard because it would be like saying Ferrari cars are mechanical horse carts lol. Then your argument would be "but majority liked DOOM" then my counter-argument would be a reminder of how majority thought world is flat too so I don't have to give a damn about how the people who cannot have an opinion of their own chant popular BS just because they are popular in a very overrated way. If DOOM was a good game even for its time I would say how great the game is. But it's more like Super Mario on NES that's a boring platformer. You just jump for 2 minutes and you get bored, and you just shoot for 2 minutes DOOM bores you. In a way these are the game not liked for the game they are but the nostalgia people had for whatever reasons. For example first video game I ever played was Super Mario on a friend's NES and that day was a good day, still it doesn't prevent me from thinking how Super Mario sucks and I prefer better platformers lol. That's the way I thought playing these games at the time. And I'm a man who always update my opinions. For example back then I thought Contra Force is peak in platformer action games until I played Demolition Man and so on. Back then I liked Top Gear 2 as a racer but not anymore after I played Racing Lagoon. So if I still think Racing Lagoon is peak in racing genre I have a good logical reason for it lol. And just because I liked a game before won't mean I will always give importance to the game. That's why I won't even think Contra Force is some hot shit anymore. Time changes, so as how your opinion should be. In that regard giving importance to DOOM feels like giving driving horse cart exaggeratedly overrated importance lol. So in that regard when there are better FPSs in 90s saying DOOM was hot shit and talking about the game as if it was the only decent FPS around doesn't make sense to me when Zero Telorance exist when it's a way advanced and proper FPS game that released just 1 year after of DOOM and in the same decade we have Redline that's way more advanced than Half Life 1 lol. Anyway my dude carry on lol.

Every time I miss you I will write a Great WOT of China just to annoy you and believe me I can write a book about anything like it's my special skill lol. If I was an RPG character my ultimate skill would be talking people to death and after they die I would talk so hard even their corpse would stop existing. :DDD

I barely remember this game and it's just because I remember I bought this game the day I also bought Restricted Area and it was a good day especially because I didn't even had to use my AK that day lol. Imagine Diablo but sci-fi cyberpunk-like version and that's Restricted Area for ya lol.

One of the the most underrated game of its era.

Hell yeah. Anachronox and Omikron: The Nomad Soul bundled with Deus Ex 1 made me transcend to cyberpunk matrix and ever since then my vision as my 3rd eye in my brain is augmented lol.
