Which is better?

[xdude_gamer]

Poll. My personal fav is Doom 2.

Doom II in my opinion was the best Doom game, because it was the refined version of regular doom; And regular doom kicks ass

[Kinsie]

What's your answer, xdude_gamer? Could you explain the hows and whys of where you're coming from by making that choice? I'm not asking for, like, a double-spaced dissertation with references in the Chicago Style, but more than literally one word would be nice.

Wadsmoosh :p

 

I feel we already had that thread a few days ago...

[Teo Slayer]

DOOM 64 => Most badass Doom game

[BetelgeuseSupergiant]

TNT: Evilution. Very beautiful for 1996.

[m8f]

The Ultimate Doom is the best The Ultimate Doom.

Doom II: Hell on Earth is the best Doom II: Hell on Earth.

TNT: Evilution is the best TNT: Evilution.

The Plutonia Experiment is the best The Plutonia Experiment.

Doom 64 is the best Doom 64.

Doom 3 is the best Doom 3.

Doom (2016) is the best Doom (2016).

Doom Eternal is the best Doom Eternal.

 

Different games cannot be ordered from best to worst. They are different.

[ClumsyDoomer]

No, only perfectly identical things can't be ordered. But i wouldn't be able pick the "best" or "favorite" Doom indeed.

It feels like there is a thread like this once a week.

This is the official best Doom game.

People like asking questions that have been answered already.

 

Maybe by asking it enough times by enough individuals, a new hack in the Doom source code reveals itself. I mean, who knows.

Well, that could be considered Ultimate Doom (basically just Doom 1)

[doomguykiller69]

DOOM2!

[DynamiteKaitorn]

Not my fave but I wanted to rep D3 cause I think it's still a great game, even if it drifts far from the DooM formula.

[Captain Ventris]

Doom 64

The Ultimate Doom

Doom II: Hell on Earth

Doom Eternal

Doom (2016)

TNT: Evilution

The Plutonia Experiment

Doom 3

Those are my rankings.

[vanilla_d00m]

The one you enjoy the most.  Doom 2 for me because well a lot of mods use it and need it to run.  

 

The best one in the series is ULTIMATE DOOM.  Come on.. E1M1, E1M3, E2M4, E2M6,E2M2 and many more.  Award winning pieces of music.

[dyshoria]

i mean the entire franchise whouldnt exist if it wasnt for doom 1

[RHhe82]

Personally I think levels make the game, and as such I can’t believe Doom 2 is held in so high regard. Personally I’m leaning towards a tie between Ultimate Doom and Plutonia which have the superior levels regardless of armory and enemy roster.

 

The rest of the titles compete in different leagues. I enjoyed Doom 3 when the BFG edition came out, and it’s really unfair for Doom 3 to compare it to the other titles.

 

Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are comparable. I thoroughly enjoyed Doom 2016 once I got used to it, and Doom Eternal frustrates the hell out of me. I bought it when it first was released, and my first playthrough is still ongoing, I think I’m on the level after the first encounter with Marauder, and I have little desire to get back to it. (It should be noted that I was playing the Xbox One version of both modern Dooms).

Basically if you look at it as "which game will let me play the best third-party levels", then Doom II is the best of the three classic games (Ult. Doom, Doom II, Final Doom). Though technically you could use either TNT or Plutonia to play any Doom II map at all, but you'd run the risk of having some textures look weird due to the many texture conflicts between Doom II and Final Doom.

That's true - from a modding and PWAD perspective Doom II is the only game you absolutely need. It gives most value for your money, there is no question about it.

[Serum]

Doom II for mods. Doom Eternal for base game

[lokbustam257]

@Redneckerz is doing it again

[pcorf]

The Ultimate Doom is a better game itself. But Doom 2 is better for wads and megawads such as community projects and one man/woman megawads (like Zone 400). Most custom wads (with maps) are made for Doom 2 due to the large enemy selection.

[leodoom85]

The best game is Ultimate Doom: The Eternal Evilution Experiment 64.

[Maximum Matt]

Maximum Doom.

Spoiler

Duh.

No, The Ultimate TNT II: 3 Eternal Hell on The Plutonia Experiment 64: Absolution of Evil RPG Edition (2016).

But these doesn't seem singular to me, I think there are multiple "Best Doom Game?", if they are multiple, which one should I believe that it's the best?

They are singular, the fact that you think multiple Doom games are considered the best and then ask which one of those "thr best" is the actual best is needlessly confusing.

 

It certainly would confuse the barely participating OP around his own often-asked question.

TNT's one of my fav. doom wads. Tho ultimate doom gives me a nostalgia I can't forget.

I like all the games but I like Doom II the best because of its modding capabilities. TNT is great. Plutonia's a bit too much of revenant hell for me to enjoy properly as casual gameplay.

[entrywayy]

Jeez how has Doom II more votes than Plutonia? Recently played through Plutonia for the first time (lol yeah ...) and it plays so much better than Doom II imho.
