       | "respect" the style of its predecessors.

       | Why did they have to call it doom 3... there already is a doom 3,
       | that's going to get confusing really fast.

         | It's even worse when they use language like this. So this is a
         | mod for the 2004 game or what?

           | Immediately before the sentence you quoted: "Now the reason
           | this mod is called Doom III is because it's a sequel to Doom
           | II. This has nothing in common with id Software's Doom 3
           | game, which came out in 2004 and was a reboot."

       | If you're interested in playing new Doom (2) levels, there is an
       | extremely active community releasing unbelievably good levels
       | regularly for free. Even John Romero himself has released 2
       | entirely new campaigns, the 2nd one late last year. Start from
       | https://www.doomworld.com/cacowards/ and dive in.
       | 
       | I've been on a Doom binge for the last couple of months playing
       | great mod after great mod, but nothing prepared me to the
       | absolute humongous monstrosity that is Eviternity 2. This is GOTY
       | 2024 and there is nothing that can possibly beat it!

       | 
       | Edit: ok, this mod is kinda hilariously bad, and does not _at
       | all_ represent the Doom modding community. There are dozens of
       | other 30-plus-level releases out there that are way, way better!
       | For the curious, here is the discussion:

         | That Eviternity mod sells merchandise. Truly wild.

         | that I have seen.

         | Matches my sentiments exactly. Yeah, DOOM is legendary. But who
         | really plays doom for the sake of doom anymore?

         | I'm more interested in the umpteenth "x runs doom" post than
         | more levels for a game most people never bother to complete in
         | the first place.
