Doom or Quake?

So do you like Doom or Quake better?

I like the alien invasion story alot but I like Doom better. I guess because it's scarier and has more gore.

Doom faster,more gore,more bad-ass

not for those same reasons, but Doom, I would have to say on being a bad-ass game, and Quake for storyline.

I'm a huge fan of ID's older games, and here is my analysis:

Original doom games (1,2,final,ect) - Awesome, especially if you use a new engine (I love doomsday)

Doom 3 - not so much, the action is ok but its not that scary.

Doom RPG - Epic win

Quake 1 and it's mission packs - Epic win, mostly because of the ton of mods for it (has any one else here played nehahra?) and the awesome multiplayer.

Quake 2 and its mission packs - Kinda meh in my opinion.

Quake 3/ team arena - Epic win

Quake 4 - like doom 3, but with a crappy quake skin.

My favorite would have to be quake 1. I still play it online all the time.

I've never really played Quake. I hear Doom is a lot better so I tend to go with that. I may get it sometime, though. But I do love Doom.

I used to have the original quake a long time ago. Lost it since. Didn't play the original doom until recently.

Never played quake, but I had iDoom on my iPod, and played Doom 3 like religion when I got a computer that could handle it.

I'm still awaiting that moment. I rented it for Xbox once but only got maybe halfway. I have it already.. but my computer can't run it.. yet.

I have the special edition of Doom 3 and it has the old Doom games on it, I play those more than the actual game. I love playing them on Nightmare mode with infinite health, the fun never ends until the game freezes up!

Quake, by far. Quake II was amazing, and I started modding (3d games at least) with Q3A.

I prefer Quake for multiplayer, Doom for single player.

Haven't played either in quite a few years... So this may have changed dramatically. ;P

I like to play games made after the cavemen walked the earth. And how come Wolfenstein isn't on the list?

flea925 · Post by **flea925** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 6:08 am

I tried wolfenstien enemy territory (the multiplayer one)
It was fun, but to many annoying mods on.

This.
I still play Q3 on rare occasions. My dad and brother play on some servers my dad manages, so I get on now and then to play as well.

It plays alot like COD, did they share some code for the AI or something?
edit: I mean for SP

wasn't there doom vs quake debate from the games community a long time ago or was that doom vs duke nukem.
anyway i would choose Quake since the second ones goes to aliens lol

Just got around to play the Quake 4 demo, and I must say "Wow". I prolyl could run Crysis better on my machine than that game. the graphics are the worst I have seen out of ID in relation to the time it came out. I am going to have to stick with Doom on this one, I am shocked on how poor the graphics quality is for me on that game.

lol, i went to a mac store the other day, this guy says quake 4 can run better on my machine than prey, so i go home, unrwap it, plug it in, and all i see are outlines of everthing. my fucking mac doesn't have the appropriate graphics cards, which is also why the graphics on my Halo combat evolved aren't shiny

it doesn't help that i cant return it because of pirating reasons, so now im stuck with quake 4 with unuseable graphics

Marathon, tbh...

winnah!
