I played the originals back in their day as a wee lad, and while it was scary -- and aaah the old lights-go-out-when-you-grab-the-macguffin trick -- I don't appreciate it in the same way that I did with Doom 3. The latter seemed to take a lot of inspiration from Resident Evil/Alone in the Dark. The original Doom was just lots of cheap traps.

In any case, while I like Doom 3 I am glad the series didn't go in that direction afterwards. When lukewarm Quake 4 came out I was beginning to worry that id had lost its touch... luckily Doom 2016 saw a return to form.
