Is Doom the only gaming franchise where each and every game is Masterpiece?
-
Hello friends,
So i have looking into like every other franchise. and every series has atleast one bad game or black sheep or a game that is good but not as good as other. Even Half life has episode 1 which suck imo.
Enter Doom, there are 4 main games and all 4 main games has been masterpieces for thier respected era.
Doom 1 and 2 might be dated for today standard but in 1993 Doom was just something really new. pretty much pioneer FPS genre and released at a time when there were no or very little 3D games at all. although wolf 3d was first FPS but Doom was the game that pretty much invented the genre.
Doom 3 released in 2004 and was masterpiece along with Half life 2. it was Half life equivalent and when i first played it. i was blown away. it was dark, horror, scary and very different approach to original games.
Then Doom reboot released in 2016 and become easily best game of this generation and also best FPS of decade. amazing game, back to original roots with some modern mechanics althought it should not be arena lockdown but its combat is so so great that it never feel boring.
Now this fall. Doom Eternal is releasing (RIP fall 2019) and taking more crazy approach, the first modern Doom game set on earth and looks and feel so amazing. demons are destructable, dashing mechainics, grappling, climb via pole etc. another Doom game that feel like masterpiece.
I cannot think of any other gaming franchise that has all games equally amazing.
so what do you think my friend? lets discuss
-
Doom 3 is not a masterpiece, those 4 games aren't the only thing in the franchise. The movie isn't a masterpiece .
Also "I cannot think of any other gaming franchise that has all games equally amazing." That's just your opinion man.

@b-cell How is Doom Eternal counted but everything else isn't.
-
Hollow Knight.
-
Doom 3 is not even close to be a masterpiece.
Final Doom is also not that good from what I've played.
-
Yeah
NahDoom 3 was shit. Played it last year and it does NOT age well. Nothing but small corridors and monster closets.
It was a technological achievement for it's time, but not much else.
-
Doom 3 and the Doom RPG were pure garbage.
At least the Doom RPG added a fun connection between Doom and Wolfenstein
-
Im talking about 4 main games. discounting spinoff like Doom RPG for mobile or whatever it is.
-
@b-cell
Doom RPG is a main game, and its 6 games, theres two RPGs
-
This is your strangest thread yet.
-
Discounting all the spin-offs and unofficial sequels, which are defined as ”games I don't like as much", Katamari Damacy is a gaming franchise, and it's only actual game is perfect.
-
Doom 64 is also considered a main game, and Doom 2016 is a direct continuation of it.

Doom 2016 is reboot. Doom slayer is different protagonist than Doomguy. Doom 64 was not even made by id software.
Doom 3 also has different marine.
-
@b-cell The events of Doom 64 are directly referenced in Doom 2016.
-
@el-shmiablo
It was also made with ID's blessing
-
@dmcmaster I sometimes wonder if he is trolling or really this dense.
-
I think the LEGO games franchise qualifies for sure.
-
@sentinel-beach
Ah yes how can we forget 2020's Lego Doom
-
I think Half life is a strong series along with it's Portal Counterpart. I want to include Metroid and Zelda, however, they've had a few questionable titles released in the past. I'm not on about that atrocious CD-I Legend Of Zelda either.
-
I honestly don’t think Half Life has any duds. I played Half Life Source in 2012 and was blown away by it. I might like it more than HL2.
Went through the whole series, expansions like Blue Shift. Loved them all.
