What is your favorite game besides Doom?

[MeetyourUnmaker]

I'll start with some of mine.


Resident Evil 4 - It's a classic and basically the Doom 64 of the series. I like games that manage to combine dark ambience and action effectively like that.


Team Fortress 2- Versus Saxton Hale is surprisingly great.

[Kontra Kommando]

Civilization III. I've spent thousands of hours with that game.

[geekmarine]

There's no way around it, it'd have to be Team Fortress 2 - just logged way too many thousands of hours playing for it to be anything else. If I had to choose a second place, because that's a boring choice and I don't like my other favorite game also being an FPS... I dunno, there are far too many contenders. Eh, I'd probably go with the NES, as a whole. If I'm not playing Doom or TF2, I'm probably playing an old NES game.

[purist]

Football Manager. It's pretty much the only game I play on my own other than Doom.

[mrthejoshmon]

It's hard to say, Duke Nukem 3D could be it but 500+ hours of Fallout New Vegas says otherwise. Then there is Worms World Party to consider and then some Half-Life...

It really is hard to choose but I would have to go with Duke.

[Kontra Kommando]

Also contra, I managed to unlock every achievement for it on the Xbox arcade port.

[CorSair]

Dwarf Fortress
Nethack
ADOM
Freespace (Source Code Project or Open, whatever you wanna describe it.)
Minecraft

Those are my frequent games I play, though ADOM and Nethack has now less love because I got slightly bored of them and Dorf Fort came .40. Also, upgraded Freespace to 3.6.12, but this shitty laptop don't cut it anymore.

[40oz]

close tie between Streets of Rage, Contra, and Grand Theft Auto 2. Only games I ever genuinely feel like "coming back to" after Doom. Contra is in desperate need of a PC version with modding flexibility btw. I'm scared it might never happen.

[Mechadon]

I use to be heavily into Armored Core, but not so much these days. The newer games lack some of the elements I enjoyed in the past titles. Though I occasionally play through the PS1/PS2 era games from time to time.

Another would be the Sonic games, though again my interest in the modern versions of the game is basically nil. I play through the Genesis-era titles regularly.

Now that I think about it, the only game that I've been playing regularly and really enjoying is Nuclear Throne. It's one of those games that I latch onto and play for an hour or two almost daily, much like I do with Doom or I use to do with Armored Core.

[Doominator2]

Planescape Torment
Baldur's Gate
Morrowind
Fallout New Vegas
Banjo Kazooie
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Perfect Dark.

[tourniquet]

Super Metroid + various other SM hacks.
All 2D Castlevania titles (especially the Metroidvania ones).

Planescape Torment

Oh i really need to replay this somewhen, brilliant RPG.

[dew]

Albion. Alpha Centauri. Ascendancy. Huh, it's like there's a pattern there. But there's also Dark Forces, Monkey Island 2, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, Tyrian and god of games, Supaplex.

[Memfis]

Elastomania, it seems godly in its gameplay complexity. Been playing it for several years and I still suck major ass. Maybe in 10 more years...

[ASD]

Duke3D and Warcraft II.

[Clonehunter]

Team Fortress 2, Dark Forces II, and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.

[Demonologist]

C&C, namely Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. I like the whole series in general though, even 4 is pretty fun, if borderline mindless, in multiplayer.
I'm also sucker for Quake, especially 1, 2 is great as well, but doesn't come close in terms of atmosphere and grimness. Used to play Q3:A a lot many years ago, but I doubt I'll ever return to it.
Heretic and Hexen... well, yes, but after beating all of those several times and playing quite a bunch of Heretic pwads I don't feel enthusiastic about them anymore.

Oh, and Painkiller, I guess. After Overdose it's more like a shitfest, but I've still finished each and every expansion more than once. Even with poor amateurish execution the gameplay and feel are hard to ruin completely.

[vinnie245]

Deus Ex, still play it on a regular basis.

[scifista42]

Duke Nukem 3D. Quake 3 Arena. (favorites behind Doom)

Jetpack. The Incredible Machine. Destruction Carnival. (great games)

Quake 1. ROTT. (I like them quite a lot)

[Archi]

Heretic, Hexen, Hexen II.
Quake 1, 2, 4, ET:QW.
Contra Hard Corps, Contra Shattered Soldier, Contra 4 (seems like the best Contra game atm).
Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
Natural Selection 2. I enjoy it far more than any other multiplayer game.
Red Alert 2.

[Six]

There's a lot, but to name some of my best:

-Blood
-Terraria
-Tomb Raider 1 through 5 (Anniversary and Underworld are alright too)
-Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (i'm possibly the only one who likes it)

I would name others but that's probably enough to get the gist.

[Ribbiks]

various NES-era shit
homm3
fft (notably 1.3)
chess

[Doom_Dude]

I don't find myself playing all that much these days. Actually I'm more into trying to hammer out some Doom maps.

Quake
Quake 2
Minecraft
Oblivion
Skyrim
Fallout 3
Guild Wars 2

[Cupboard]

Diablo - "Aaaahhh, fresh meat!"
Baldur's Gate - "You must gather your party before venturing forth."

[DoOmEr4LiFe]

Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favorite game besides Doom. I would go so far to say I like SMB3 more than Doom but I can only play the same levels for SMB3.

[Doomkid]

This is a tough one... I have to say the classic Mario titles, though. In order:
-Super Mario World
-SMB3
-SMB1 (I've gotten within like 25 seconds of the world record on this one, still trying for it in futility...)
-SMB2: Lost Levels
-Mario Sunshine (I see this one as a work of art)
-Mario 64
-Mario 2 (Doki Doki)

But I also LOVE Street Fighter 2 and SF Alpha. Hot damn thems good games.

Duuude, you really should download some Mario 3 patches - There are some excellent user made maps out there! All you need is an emulator and Lunar IPS, it's easy as hell and damn fun. I recommend SMB Blue, Mario Adventure and Usual Day, great map packs.

Yeah I had no idea there was fan-made stuff. It isn't like those ridiculously difficult fan-made levels that I have seen Youtube videos is it? Are they legit levels that have virtually the same range of difficulty as the original SMB3 from 1-1 to Bowser's Castle? If so, I will take you up on that, good sir.

I recommend checking them all out, each one has a tiny file size. I dislike those over-the-top difficulty mods too, but I remember really enjoying a lot of these so hopefully you will too!

[dg93]

Doom is my all time favorite shooter especially for multiplayer. My second favorite shooter is hands down Black for the Playstation 2:

My only grip with it is that it isn't implemented for multiplayer, especially deathmatch.
