Awhile back I decided to do a playthrough of id's various shooters in order. Started with Doom and Doom 2 and loved every moment of it. Then tried moving onto Quake, but after about an hour or so just had zero motivation to keep playing.
Recently I played through Blood (expansions and all) and again, loved every minute of it. Then still feeling the nostalgic itch, tried playing some Unreal another game I had fond memories of. But again, an hour or so in and I have zero desire to keep playing.
Not sure exactly what it is, but those 2.5D shooters seemed to have more personality and charm than some of those early 3D shooters. Maybe it's the reliance on sprites or the fact the worlds they created seemed more colorful and interesting.
Anyone else find this? Were the original Quake and Unreal really that dull and uninteresting? Have my nostalgia goggles deceived me?
