How in the world did id create a game so amazingly addictive? I try to go and play other games to give me perspective, but I end up just being bored as hell (no pun intended), and then I rush back to my DOOM.
I don't think it's addictive, in fact by now I stop playing it after a few levels, because they play similarly. But you end up still playing Doom, probably because other games you may be having aren't as balanced as Doom and this game benefited for being the first of nearly the first, so it also has a big community, probably the biggest (unlike potentially better games like Heretic, Strife...). And yes, Doom is balanced, because it offers monsters which are easy to manage, but who may still kill you easily (most notably, Sergeants and Revenants).
But speaking of monster ease, then Doom may have gained this "addictiveness" because its main levelset on UV is easier than most other classic shooters played on their hardest playable skill level. Like I can play Doom anytime, unlike Heretic's episodes 4 or 5 on Black Plague, which really need some concentration, at first at least.
