DOOM..... or dooomed

Raise your hand if you played the new DOOM game yet...... yeeeeah me neither. Mainly because I don't have a PS4, and also because I have lost faith in DOOM. The format is old, stale, and after that total shit fest of a game they CALLED doom a fewyears back , and I have the BFG Edition, so if that's the best then good god for those with the regular edition. The game felt like a PS2 generic shooter, with stupid jump scaresthat don't make you jump, and use of lighting that was supposed to be scary and mood inducing, but serves only to frustrate and make things hard to see in a frustrating not tension building way. No The first DOOM reboot was SHIT in my book, and I have not read or watched a single review on the game, just bought it used thinking, wow doom, my childhood has come full circle. You see DOOM back in 95, 96 was the most amazing thing we had ever seen. And almost every computer able to run it in our grade school had a copy hidden on it. Only those of us who knew how to bring up the dos prompt and knew the proper location could play, so we kept it a well guarded secret. Back then you where allowed to go to the classrooms a hour or two before morning class even started, and since I was one of the first ones there everyday because of my rides timing for work, I would rush to one of the rooms, and get on there before anyone else could and the shareware first level would be started immediately. IDDQD.... followed by IDKFA, and if I was feeling bored IDNOCLIPPING (very fun on Duke Nukem) and the mayhem would start and go for the next hour or two.

That shareware version followed us into High School and was hidden on every computer there too along with Quake, and even Blood on some "cool" teachers computers. Hell I remember having death matches on the Quake shareware game using Mplayer before it became Gamespy with our Youth Services Center Manager, and several other students all in one game over a 56k (modem if you where lucky). But no matter what if you were bored that first chapter of DOOM was like an old mattress, worn just for you, like a glove it fit and demons, beware, because the BFG was coming for you!.

Doom 3 BFG Edition, was not my doom...... it just didn't feel like doom, it felt more like a Half Life crossed with Dead Space..... both good by themselves but together.....not so much. So what of this new game? I would love to hear your feedback. Is it good? Is it a system seller like they are hoping it was and like the Last of Us was for PS3 too me. IS IT DOOM AGAIN..... or just a generic shooter , with service once you get past " THIS IS THE NEW DOOM IT MUST BE AWESOME BECAUSE ITS DOOOOOM! phase of your relationship with the game? To me the way they did the last two Wolfensteins ESPECIALLY NEW ORDER is how you reboot a series while staying true to the source and not just being a blatant cash in. Is the new doom as good as New Order???? Give me your feedback and your memories of playing the old DOOM games either at home , a friends, at school, or even on your console at home , with your mother wondering why you have a red cartridge sticking out of your SNES. Thanks for reading and please keep reading and share me with all your friends who would be interested, I plan on promoting a few good Emulation sites soon because i am a fan f the whole concept. Until next time this is your no shit writer....Michael.... I'm outta here!
