More like John "Gas Station" Romero lmao!
Isaac Jackson
He exists
Maybe
Nathaniel Sanchez
Daikatana really was shit but he's right about modern shooters.
Cooper Johnson
He Is just another S O Y nigger that thinks he is hot shit for making one of the first FPS ever, hope he dies of cancer or aids after fucking a rabid dog.
Easton Phillips
He is slightly wrong though. There is slotting in Doom, it's just far less noticable.
If anything my issue with Romero is his tendency to be overly dickish in map design.
Isaiah Bell
Matthew Collins
Why, Romero's maps are way less dickish than Sandy's maps.
Kayden Ramirez
If you're going to use the end-all be-all Doom asshole level designer, we both know the answer is American McGee. The issue with Sandy's maps is they were rushed because he was new to the company and they had to get the game out fairly quick.
Cameron Howard
He's never made anything worth while past the moment
Julian Rivera
Sigil was good.
Carson Allen
Who's this hobo looking hippy?
Adam Adams
no pusi
Henry Johnson
He's native american, hence the hair. But either way people say Romero had an ego back in the day which is definitely true, but when you create the majority of the maps on what's widely considered the best episode of one of the most influential fps games of all time, haven't you kinda earned that ego?
Leo Ramirez
who
Jack Adams
he is a literal cuckold and the only reason Doom was great was because of Carmack.
Logan Kelly

Not when you follow that success up with a ton of pie-in-the-sky ideas that would never fit around your dev team's work constraints and waste the programmers' time with your obtuse bullshit.

He's right but he also sucks at modern shooters. Total Pleb.
Parker Thompson
>the only reason Doom was great was because of Carmack.
You're thinking in too simplistic of terms. Carmack without Romero is just glorified tech demos made to push system specs. Romero without Carmack is an "ideas guy" who can't implement said ideas without the right people. Hall without either of them is just more Commander Keen clones and Rise of the Triads. Bobby Prince without them is sadly, dying of cancer.
Romero, Carmack, McGee, Adrian, Hall, Peterson, and yes even Prince are pieces of the same puzzle, they all need each other badly. Doom and Doom 2 was not "it was this one guy" or even 2 guys, it was everyone who were best at something creating 2 games that were lightning in a bottle considering the combined talent and luck that went into making them.
Jason Bailey
Carmack is an elder God of cursed knowledge when it comes to coding, but with everything else such as level design, balance, and everything else the rest of the team had, with John as a mouthpiece for them, basically.
Matthew Turner
The picture.That is the black stepson of his hardcore feminist wife. She had an affair with a Nigger.
Christian Baker
yeah afterall we all know Carmack for masterpieces such as.... Rage? lmao
Brayden Richardson
>Bobby Prince without them is sadly, dying of cancer.
How did I never hear about this? Jesus christ that's not news I needed to hear.
Mason James
his stepson* birthed by his Wife*
David Moore
>t. John Romero
stay mad cuck
Luke Ortiz
>Obsessing over a kid this much
user, are there some repressed sexual feelings you're not discussing with the class?
Ayden Morales
I'm glad he was a part of the perfect storm that gave us doom. That's about it. He's got some good hair but he takes care of it.
Owen Carter
I walk by his game studio most days, have yet to see him
Grayson Reyes
His current wife worked on Jagged Alliance 2 and she's also doing Empire of Sin.
Connor Parker
>billions of people died?
>heheh, nice
Anthony Morales
Mods unironically fixed Daikatana
Mason Watson
Have you actually seen Carmack giving speech related to computer graphics and/or game development? That guy can hurl around so many complex entities being spot on accurate about everything at the same time during just one two hour speech and he doesn't even need notes for it. He also never settles to dumb down shit so audience would understand him better so either you get it or go home retarded. Romero is fucking cuck with no redeeming qualities.
Robert Wright
>Empire of Sin
I mean, it looks good, and it's a neat idea. X-Com clone based around prohibition-era gangsters? I'll play that.
Xavier Clark
Also the Geoscape looks miles better than nuCOM
Alexander Scott
Then why has everything he's made after Quake 2 felt bland and boring to play by comparison, it's it's still trying to catch up to what that game did right?
Landon James
Some dude who worked on doom or quake? Dunno and don't care much.
Colton James
romero is jobs
carmack is wozniak
Connor Barnes
Wozniak never strongarmed Jobs out of the company though, it was the other way around.
Jackson Rivera
He made me his bitch and told me to suck it down
Can't say I'm a fan honestly
Benjamin Green
romero didnt have quite the balls jobs did
Brayden James
he apologized
Andrew Miller
Jobs nearly tanked Apple multiple times thanks to his dumb decisions. Romero never did Id that dirty.
Aaron Collins
Made some pretty cool levels. Made some absolutely shit ones, too. I'd say Romero's a mixed bag through and through.
