Who's saying it should be?

Thousands of people, probably millions, all over the world.

Oh so you mean anecdotal "evidence" like gamefaqs polls? Ok then I got my own anecdote, I've never heard/read anyone making that claim. I guess we cancel each other out?

**Slime Slayer** · 08-11-2013, 04:18 PM

My point is that Doom doesn't get the credit it deserves. What's your point?

**Dudebro** · 08-11-2013, 08:42 PM

My point is I've never seen that to be true. Doom is widely recognized as the father of modern FPS games. Or mother, w/e.

Watch this documentary and see if you still feel the same way:

My point is that Doom does not get the respect it deserves, watch the videos, and see if you have any new found respect for it.

So this list gets to be based on entirely historical influence or does quality of the game in question counts? Because while great games tend to be the starters of important trends they aren't always the best games in their respective genre that were spawned during that decade.

**Dudebro** · 08-12-2013, 09:26 AM

@Steven- So you want me to watch those videos(which I've already seen) to get a better appreciation for a game I already called the father and/or mother of modern FPS? I don't get it.

@Bentley- I'm not sure how Gametrailers decided on these but I think most of us agree they didn't do a great job.

Doom is a classic with fun, on the fly combat. It's very enjoyable and was the foundation on which ID Software made games like Quake. I don't need to watch some documentary of the developers to know that.

For christs sake, are you guys dense? For the third time I will repeat myself: "I don't think Doom gets the credit it deserves" Is that such a hard concept to grasp?

I think I might just have to settle out of the conversation with "I don't get it."

You seem volley back and forth between the ideas that "People don't respect Doom." and "We don't respect Doom." whenever anyone addresses either idea.

I'm given to believe that you're trolling right now, but at the same time I could believe that you really are this convinced that everyone else is short sighted.

I never once suggested either: "People don't respect Doom." and "We don't respect Doom." Where do you see me saying that?

So again, for the fourth time now I will repeat myself, "I don't think Doom gets the credit it deserves", how can you not understand that? Stop trying to attribute other factors to it, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

**Dudebro** · 08-12-2013, 08:55 PM

Well maybe you should stop listening to gamefaqs opinions? I always see Doom and Wolfenstein credited over stuff like goldeneye.

I just did a couple google searches and 99% of the FPS lists have Doom and Wolfenstein on there. Goldeneye too but for console only reasons.

The only time I ever go to Gamefaqs is for a faq/walkthrough if I ever get stuck in a game. My opinion is not based on anything specific, just my own intuition based on the data I have retained over the last 20 years. I know that Doom does get a ton of credit, but I don't think the average gamer has a good understanding of just how incredible of an accomplishment it was.

**Dudebro** · 08-13-2013, 09:31 AM

Oh so this is like your thing with atheism. You see some people(reddit) being mean therefore most atheists are mean. Facts and research be damned. Anecdotal evidence ftw!

Anything to add to the conversation? Or just more of your slander?

**Dudebro** · 08-13-2013, 01:48 PM

I am adding to the conversation. You're having another "gut feeling not based in reality" moment and I wanted the readers to be aware so they can make sense of your last few posts.
