I also was not that impressed by Doom (idSoftware - 1993) BitD. In the other-hand, I enjoyed it in netplay as I found it boring playing it alone...
I was much more impressed by Descent (Interplay - 1995) with his real 3D movements and with my 10 fingers on the keyboard to manage the spaceship . Because of this 3D movements, netplay also was much funnier than Doom. Tomb Raider (Core - 1996) is another game that impressed me much more than Doom.
I believe the mix between the scenario, playability & the visual of a game are a big part for being "impressed" or not. And "stupid standards" or "snobism" has nothing to do with that
PS: Given the hardware it is running on, Dread is impressing
!!! (not his scenario, at least for me
)
