No no no no. No.

You ever played DOOM? And i dont mean the recent incarnations, i mean the original one.

No Parry. Only damage and more damage. And lots of endorfines. BFE.

I hate parrying.

Ultimate Doom didn't even have i-frames. If two rockets arrive at your location, you just die.

Of course, the game didn't have jumping, either, and in most games that's kind of a big deal.

I'm inclined to agree on the latest release, but Doom 2016 is fucking amazing.
