I love a good story in a game. Most of my favorite games, save multiplayer only ones such as Battlefield, are story-heavy. Sometimes you just want to shoot demons because they are demons. There is story in Doom but it rarely prevents you from continuing to send demons back to hell for more than a few moments. There's more in the menus but those can be read at your leisure.

Yeah I was worried at first when the bad guys started talking, but then the marine ripped the console off the wall in mid-sentence and I realized the developers were just messing with me.

If you just want to shoot stuff and ain't got time for nothin. Let me recommend Devil Daggers. It's 5 bucks on Steam and tremendously fun if you enjoy a harsh challenge. This guy [1] is the world record holder for surviving 14 minutes. My record is more like 3... After 20+ hours of 2 minutes sessions...

  Also, for MP, take a look at Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball. It's a content-heavy instagib multiplayer arena shooter with an emphasis on score (in some modes), and some interesting takes on attack, defense, and movement. If you're up for some traditional Arena FPS, take a look at Reflex, Xonotic, and UT4. Or just boot up Quake 3 (or Quake Live) again. I almost forgot Half-Life Deathmatch. That's still an absolute blast to play.

  Whoa, that game is fascinating. It's like the compressed all of the mechanics of the whole original Doom skill progression into 5 minutes, replace the fiction of "different" weapons with regularized weapon stat bumps, and then everything up to 11 in an empty arena. Very interesting. Found this video gets into some of the details of strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIZ-PhgPLOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIZ-PhgPLOY
