The great debate

Doom made history
Quake is just another fps

Quake is bullet sponge enemies: the game, and has some very unsatisfying weapons
also has a lot of redundant weapon overlap, you get things like the nailgun and then the slightly stronger nailgun, and the missile launcher and slightly stronger version, rather than just having them be single weapons with alt firing modes
>>
>>12566754
depends what you favor
quake is far better in multiplayer, while doom has literal decades of custom WADs you can play through and never have to see the same map twice
>>
>>12566754
If the covers were reversed quake would have taken off

It's all about first impressions
>>
>>12566956
Quake's cover is cooler imo. And it lacks the (gay) male gaze of Doomguy's shirt being ripped to expose his abs.

I like both but quake has more soul
>>
>>12566754
I prefer Quake purely as a game for various aesthetic and gameplay reasons.
>>
>>12566754
Love both but I think I like Doom 2 the most.
Doom 1 has better pacing and more consistent level design quality but when Doom 2 hits all the right notes and takes advantage of all the clever ideas Doom 1 had along with the new monsters it is truly something special.
Quake is really fun and it being true 3d is great but it never feels like it reaches its true potential and the lack of bosses or stronger enemies make it feel like the game reached its peak a bit too early.
Quake 2 also suffered from this with the tank being a joke.

>>12566754
Doom wins.
In Quake I don't like having to aim up and down, also the colors are more flat so it's harder to see the enemies.

>In Quake I don't like having to aim up and down
Funny, this is something I don't like about Doom and vastly prefer in Quake

My biggest issue is the SSG sucking ass
I get that the regular shotgun is basically the game's pistol so it shouldn't be too strong, but the SSG only dealing 56 dmg when all pellets hit? Really? It should deal at least 80

Are you paraplegic or something
>>
>>12568228
Yes, actually.
>>
>>12568248
Well that makes sense, rip to your arms (not literally) or whatever

Quake's cardinal sin is lack of an automap. I hate how easy it is to get lost and run in circles.

But I adore that weapon switching is instant. Shit takes forever in Doom.

Sorry man
>>
>>12566754
I really like Doom 1 and 2 but I've never been able to play more than a couple levels of Quake. I don't hate it or anything I just can't get into it
>>
>>12566754
Doom had the advantage of getting an expanded sequel with more enemy types.
>>
>>12566757
Quake became the technical foundation for the entire genre.
>>
>>12566757
>>12566802
quake started the norm for making literal 3d fps
