When talking to another person do you refer to the first Doom game as Doom 1 or just Doom?
>>
It's Doom, just like there is no PS1 (there is a PS One though but that's not what people mean when they say PS1), and whatever you do, when something gets a remake/reboot of the same name, NEVER put the date next to the original game's tilte. It's not "Doom (1993)", it's "Doom" and "Doom (2016)", having your release date hanging out like a sticky turd that won't come out is a fate that should be reserved to remakes/reboots.
>>
>>12838645
I'd probably just call it the original Doom since there is a reboot now that was also just titled Doom
>>
every doom game is doom
>>
unc doom
>>
>>12838659
This

>>12838670
Wait, except 3 and eternal. Those are nu-doom
>>
Doom 1 because most people who say they "play Doom" are launching Doom 2 WADs.
>>
>>12838645
OG Doom and turn my baseball cap backwards

Ultimate Doom

>>12838684
You should also slightly bend your legs and grab your crotch while maintaining eye comtact to assert dominance
>>
>>12838645
in my mind I don't even consider doom 2 a different game, just more levels for doom
so I call it doom
if I need to talk about any of the recent dooms I talk about the newer dooms", though I don't even consider them doom. they're corporate backed, very high budget fan games that are allowed to use the branding
>>
>>12838645
I usually say first doom
>>
Doom, with its episode and missions structure and its lack of a super shotgun and its lack of arachnotron/mancubus/pain elemental/revenant/archville/chaingunner, is different enough of an experience that it should be specified as "Doom 1."
>>
>>12838645
Doom, if someone refers to some other game by the original's name, that's their problem of being a lazy faggot
Not the ultimate doom either, because the episode in that is bad and non-canon and the changes in the George Lucas'd original levels are similarly terrible.
>>
>>12838645
>When talking to another person
lol
>>
>>12838645
The first doom, the first one, the original doom, etc. Probably wouldn't say Doom 1.
>>
>>12838645
Doom
>>
Doom... or Doom classic/93 because of course the 2016 one is called "Doom"
>>
>>12839534
I don't think there's a single person in the world who think of doom 2016 when they hear the word "doom"
>>
>>12838645
I refer to it as doomx, in short: DMX
>>
>>12838645
I say Doom 1 when specifically talking about the first game. When I say Doom im usually referring to the classic doom games as a whole.
>>
i say eXmY for doom 1 maps
>>
>>12838645

The "original Doom"
>>
>>12838645
First doom.
>>
>>12838645
You have to yell when you say DOOM, so they know it's the original and not the 2016 one.

WHERE THE FUCKIN HOOD AT!?!?
>>
Either "DꝎM 1" or "the original DꝎM".
Whenever I say DꝎM most people automatically think of 2016.
"Classic DꝎM" is too broad a term. It could be anything from DꝎM 1 to FiNAL DꝎM, the fan wads and even 64. Not to mention that 1, not counting E4 and Si6iL, is the game I revisit the least since it looks more like a prototype for everything that came after.
