I think you're being too harsh on Doom/Heretic. Compare the monsters there to something like Call of Duty (or any modern FPS). You have a man wearing armour with a gun. The next enemy is a man wearing armour with a gun. It may be made more complex with different guns but at the end of the day, it's a man wearing armour with a gun.

At least Doom and Heretic have variety in its enemies. You can't mistake an Imp for a Cacodemon, in both the way it looks and the way they attack. I use that example because they both fire fire balls but yet they are still very different. Then you have the Disciples and Iron Lich, they are not the same... unlike the armour man with his gun.

I guess my voting down of Quake is because it does not challenge me. I'm not saying that because I'm a Quake veteran, I'm saying it because it's a bad thing in a way. It's been a long time since I felt the surge of fear that I still feel in Heretic when I come across an Iron Lich or Maulotaur. The Shamblers and Vore are tough but they've never been a real challenge. Shubby is a joke and only Armagon and the Dragon prove a threat although they only appear once.

I feel like playing Quake again now... even though I should play DoE next. But we'll see.

I've been doing the Epsilon missions on GTA5. Epsilon are a cult and it reminds me of Karras. But Karras is a lot better.
