  They set a rule that only one game from a series can be on the list. Half-Life 2 probably just beat 1 in the very subjective scoring.

    Nah - Doom (DOS): and Doom Eternal are on there, as are Baldur’s Gates 2 and 3.

      the list also has morrowind and skyrim

      True. They did mention Doom and Doom: Eternal as being different enough to warrant both. Don’t think that is true for BG2 and BG3 though

  On the other hand, how is doom even on the list? This isn’t a ‘most influential games’ list. Surely the 10th best game in 2024 isn’t Doom 1993? Their scoring system (Quality 60%, Importance 15%, Hotness 15%, Playability 10%) makes sense to me, but how they assign those scores is baffling.

  Take doom and doom eternal for example:
  Doom 1993: Q 8.41 - I 9.99 - H 6.81 - P 6.81
  Doom eternal: Q 8.00 - 7.45 - H 6.09 - P 8.45

  How is cardboard enemies, simplest damage mechanics and single axis camera control higher quality than any modern shooter? And in what universe could a 30 year old game be called hot??

    The modding scene keeps it hot

      Maybe they keep it fresh for people that already like it, but I haven’t seen anyone excited to play doom due to its mods

    Quick question: have you played original Doom?

    • zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It’s grossly overrated

      source

      • Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        In which aspects?

        I think the level design holds up incredibly well, and in fact is an example of what to do. It’s also not overencumbered by modern bloat.

        Have you played it?

    • Lojcs@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yes?

        You sound unsure.

        What are your specific feelings on Knee Deep in the Dead level design? Do you enjoy inventory management?

        What’re your views on original Super Mario?
