Doom 2 same as doom 1?

signofzeta · November 16th, 2005, 12:14 AM

Do you guys consider doom 2 same as doom 1 as in an addon or do you treat them as COMPLETELY different games.

I say doom 2 is more like an addon because:

Retained all of doom 1 stuff and doom 1 stuff not changed in doom 2, weapon sprites exactly the same, etc.
more textures
more weapons
more monsters
more triggers

I say doom 3 is a completely different game, new engine, new monster models, etc.

I'd say doom 2 is basically more doom 1 levels with more stuff instead of a completely new game, even though it is supposed to be.

I condier Doom 1 a good game, Doom 2 a realy boring one, where TNT get it and plutonia doesn't like Doom 2.

So yes somewhat I treat them like completely different game.

By today's standards, Doom 2 looks more like an add-on for Doom. But to me, they are different games, mainly because the basic mood is very different.
