Do not assume that Doom’s fast, ferocious focus on brutality, bullets, and bone-snappping takedowns indicates some cheap rallying cry to the anti-CoD, ‘old school’-worshipping curmudgeons. Doom is not a gimmick. Doom is not a mindless tribute to a bygone era. Doom is an intricate, polished, and aggressively tuned-up machine, with intelligent and purposeful design underpinning every whirling mechanism and furious combustion."

Elmofongo: I played the shooters of today (Crysis 3/Far Cry 2/Black Ops 3) and I like em.

I play shooters of the past (Doom/Quake/System Shock 2) and I like em.

I just play what is good to me.

NoNewTaleToTell: To be fair, from what I've seen the game DOES look pretty decent.

Emob78: You know, for the kids that are growing up today playing shit games all the time, I'm sure for them NuDoom will be great fun. For everyone else who values artistic merit or who can simply use critical thinking skills, it will suck balls. And that's all I have to say about that.

Stevedog13: What an absolutely horrible review. Could they find someone who had actually played the original Doom games, or at least someone who played FPS games that are more that 4-5 years old? I remember many heated discussions about how regenerating health in FPS games was dumbing down the genre. Now this kid is absolutely blown away by needing to gather health packs. Like it's some new, revolutionary feature that adds tons of strategy and complexity to the genre. Couple this with intricate level design and this little tyke is ready to pee himself. What? Doom has a maze of tunnels, secret passages and shortcuts? You mean it not just one big long corridor??! That's the most ingenious level design ever created!!

He also seems to be mesmerized by the idea of a secondary fire mode "replacing traditional iron-sights". Well junior, there was a time when secondary firing mode was a standard feature of the FPS genre. Personally, I never really understood the point of iron sights. Unless your playing a realistic military shooter or something similar, I feel that iron sights take away the much more enjoyable secondary fire. Even in games where it does make sense to use iron sights, it's something I almost never do unless the weapon has a scope.

Perhaps they should have given this review to someone who actually remembers playing old school FPS games instead of one who just thinks he remembers.
