In Response To: Re: What mess is this? (Johannes Gunnar) : And i respect Doom for what it is.... I agree with you. It's not so horrible- it's just not to my tastes. I've always found Doom incredibly bland. Plus, Doom's control layout was really awful. The whole control-for-fire-and-space-for-action thing was weird, but I could adjust to it eventually; the thing that really got me was this: the Look Up/Down keys are set by default to those to the right of the motion keys. I don't know about you guys, but if I my ring finger doesn't have anywhere near the amount of dexterity required to pull that off without auto-aim. Marathon's looking controls are better, and that's why it doesn't need auto-aim. And as for the gameplay, just read Elliott's post. Oh, and Vaxuum Bob mentioned the use of term "Doom-like." I really, really, REALLY hate it when people use that expression. There's a name for the genre: first-person shooter. Just because a game is an FPS does NOT mean it is a Doom clone. Calling Marathon a Doom clone is like calling... (tries to think of suitable analogy) Blade Runner an Alphaville clone. They're both sci-fi movies, but beyond that, well yeah. By the way, I don't mean to compare the games to the movies, beyond the fact that they're just different. |
