Comment on PC Gamer: The top 100 PC games

Lojcs@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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?

  It’s grossly overrated

    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?

  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?

    I meant it as “yes why did you ask?”
    
    I don’t have strong feelings about level design. I think the levels I enjoyed the most were in other episodes. If this is about the keys I’m neutral about them, I like exploring everywhere anyways so I’d just collect them on the way. I don’t know what else to say
    
    I feel the same way for smb. It has historical importance but it’s not up to the quality standards of today. I like the digital movement, feels better than the analogue stick in nwerer games
