Snark Posted January 10, 2021 The main "addictive" part of Doom, for me at least, is that it's the game that brings me as close as possible to the feeling I get in dreams. Still not sure why, and I've been thinking about this for almost 20 years. Might be the abstract realism, or the basic, pure violence of the whole thang, but there's something I feel almost ritual when I load a wad up. 1 Share this post Link to post

All I do. It appears I have found someone who may be living an exact clone of my own life. XD In other words, SAME. 0 Share this post Link to post

As an actual addict I thought you were serious for just a second. xD But yeah I've been a DOOM nut since I was 8 (I'm 31 this year). There's just something perfect about the core gameplay loop in conjunction with the focus on discrete maps that along with the fantastic map makers lend itself to endless amounts of fun. It's also a FPS with a pretty significant focus on map exploration (depending on the map of course) alongside the merciless genocide that helps it not growing stale or monotonous. A perfect storm of qualities. 4 Share this post Link to post

hrr1000 Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Doom changed my life probably and i think it's one of the greatest games of all time (no matter if you play it on a DOS based 1994 machine or some weird prboom+ fork that adds actual gunfire that pops off of the screen that you have to dodge :D). Doom made my childhood 10x and the doom community did too (holy moly the time i've spent playing random wads :D). Now with life and occupation i always feel tired and i don't have the energy to actually go and play a wad for a long time/make my own stuff because life kind of drains me and i just fall down but i will always love this game :D 3 Share this post Link to post

Doom OG Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Absolutely but it's an addiction that is actually good in a way. You meet lots of cool people in the community and you relieve stress from normal life. It's the best game ever made in my opinion. And I second the comment above that it changed my life. The whole reason I got a computer in the first place was to play a game I saw on the news that they were calling too violent. That led me to modifying it and then programming in general, which became my career path. 0 Share this post Link to post
