I have only played the 2016 game, would you say previous titles have aged well?
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.
Definitely not Doom 3, lol.
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.
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.
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.
