I have never played a Doom game.

Should I play the old ones first? Can you enjoy them without any nostalgia?

Good heavens no. Just start with 2016.

shit series
Don't bother

Found the zoomers!

This. Doom 2016 is a great game and you should start with it

No, you don't have to play the old ones first, the game is a soft reboot where the events of the old one are all mythic tales from the ancient past the demons tell each other to keep each other up at night about the boogeyman Doomguy.

Don't listen to these retards. If want to nu-Coom play only Eternal it's much better than 16 demo.

It doesn't matter. They're very different and really only connected in name and spirit. The old ones are good fun and hold up if you use a decent sourceport, but there's zero reason to play them before the new ones.

The very first game is definitely worth playing (second one adds a lot of the iconic monsters but has really bad level design), but not really necessary to enjoy the nu-DOOM's.

Nu-doom fucking sucks.
Shitty ass arenas filled with enemies for you to kill mindlessly, head to the next arena and kill some more. How could they fuck it up this much?
