Why You Should Play DOOM From Your Backlog

For the past couple of years Bethesda has really been on a roll with their linear single player games. The one that started that chain off is none other than the 2016 remake of the classic PC game, DOOM. Being in my mid twenties, I am just a little bit too young to have grown up playing the original DOOM on PC, but of course being a gamer I know how this game basically turned the FPS genre into what it is today; so I was keen to finally play idSoftware’s version of the game.

I don't care what system you got, buy Doom now. That game is so amazing. And yes, Bethesda is for sure on a roll.

thekhurg2918d ago

Doom is amazing. Got it on a Steam sale last year and really had a blast with it. I don't credit Bethesda though - ID Software just knows how to create a great fps.

michellelynn09762918d ago

Oh Yeah. ID made the game. My bad.

Got it day one, one of the best "arcadey" shooters in years. It was pure fun and didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't. One of the best reboots in a franchise ever.

Multimega2918d ago

It's a truly fantastic game, even the multiplayer on PC still has a strong following which is nice. I was a bit worried about how the Melee combat would detract at first but it works so well.

Profchaos2918d ago

I wish the community was that strong on ps4 I got it pretty late about 12 months post launch and it was dead. Still game was incredible

Wrex3692918d ago

It's on my backlog for sure can't wait to play.

Deep-throat2918d ago

Just stop playing cinematic schlocks and go play Doom now!

Derceto2918d ago

Better title: Why DOOM shouldn't be in your backlog in the first place. :)

TallonIV2918d ago

Did another play through of it a few months back, still so good. Hope there's a sequel in the works.

Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.

NecrumOddBoy1022d ago

You’re right. Hiding at the bottom so I missed it

REDGUM1023d ago

There's no Dead Space listed in here, WTF!

Sciurus_vulgaris1022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden1030d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar1029d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter1029d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma3131029d ago (Edited 1029d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR19811029d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman1029d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
