These Heretic codes are as dear to me as IDSPISPOPD, IDBFG, IDKFA, IDDQD, etc.

StingingVelvet: FUCK I MEANT HERETIC.
FWIW, I knew what you meant. Also, I have never been able to get into Heretic the way that I did with Doom. Even though that time at Future shop I was playing with those 3D glasses that were out at the time.

I think it's the bright colors, the lack of proper pacing and that it lacks what Doom had in charm and aesthetic quality. Heretic isn't a bad game, but it lacks style and atmosphere IMHO.

AFnord: Then I think it boils down to the overall "feel" of the game. Much like with Hexen Heretic had a vastly inferior feel to its weapons and also monsters compared to Doom. Also, it is a more slow paced game, so I guess that might also be part of the reason. And unlike Hexen, which can be appreciated for its puzzle focus, Heretic just comes off as being "like Doom, but less satisfying". Yes, it has more puzzles than Doom, but it is still a relatively similar game.
Best summary probably.

Those weapons really are lame.
