I only wish Doom and such was released after it so those too have addictive loot mechanics
>>12033742I think its better that Doom is a pure action game. If you want some kind of blend, then play a newer game from the boomer-shooter revival trend

Diablo I wasn't and obsessive grind looter like Diablo II is.

>>12034224I think the problem is that they focus on random affix guns as their main design point and that's not interesting enough to carry a game on its own. It needs to be done as just a first person arpg - design everything essentially the same except where required by the perspective shift.
>>12034482It popularized it for normies, that's what xhe means. Stop pretending to be retarded.
>>12033742go play borderlands then.
