    Doom is a "boomer shooter". There were actually attempts to formalise the definition of Rogue-like, the so called Berlin Interpretation: -tile based, top down perspective -randomly generated dungeon -perma death -turn based (non modal to be precise) -complex -hack'n'slash -exploration and discovery -resource management this is quite a tight list of requirements (there's more) and it was necessary to distinguish rogue likes (Angband, ADOM, Nethack,CoQ, Cogmind etc.) from rogue lites (BoI, Hades, Enter the Gungeon, etc.). For "Souls like" or "Metroidvania" we don't have this in written form but you could easily make a similar list of requirements to categorize a game as an entry to either one of those genres. A souls like would be an action RPG with stamina management, a checkpoint system like the bonfires, resource loss on death, emphasis on challenging bossfights and exploration etc. A metroidvania would be a 2D platformer with a complex, interconnected map where you unlock new areas by gaining new multi-use abilities. Now with the rise of "boomer shooters" we essentially have such a more refined list of identifiers for doom clones/likes. A boomer shooter would be an action focuesd, fast paced FPS with no ADS, no need to reload weapons, no carry restriction on how many guns you can carry and on map pickups like health, ammo, keys and powerups. So yes, doom is a doomlike/boomershooter and rogue is a rogue-like from today's perspective.

    3:20 Is Adventure an Adventure? Are Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night both a Metroidvania? Is Dark Souls a Soulslike? 😵‍💫 On one hand it is so stupid to name a genre after its first notable entry, on the other hand it is fascinating how single games can help a genre emerge!

    Meh. Dungeon Master was late to the party when it came to first-person RPGs, what with The Bard's Tale being from '85 and The Destiny Knight (BT2) from '86. :)

    3:10 - Just realized we do indeed call rogue a roguelike. Also would be interesting to see Ahoy cover the topic of roguelikes/roguelites.

    Credit card debt statistics are misleading, there are relatively few “average people”. There’s a large number of people with either no credit card debt or negligible credit card debt, then a significant minority who are in the tens of thousands skewing the averages.

    I am so happy, that Ahoy is back!!! Nr1 favourite chanel ever. Ps I remember so much arguing woth friends that what is doom clone and what not. One who did not live through the days will never understand. Will never know what Doom did with our lives. To me another similar thing was only Dave Grush and Bob Lazar.

    So then I suppose MIDI Maze / Faceball would be the first "pure" FPS without any RPG elements. That said, I've never been sold on the idea that Gauntlet is an RPG. It's more a fantasy-themed shmup in a maze. And there's precedent for that, Konami's Tutankham. But Gauntlet's complete lack of character-building - beyond putting in quarters to add food - is why I'd hesitate to call it an RPG. (And same for Doom.) If you say I'm "role-playing" as an Elf in Gauntlet, then you might as well also say I'm role-playing as a Vic Viper in Gradius. Hell, Gradius actually has more character-building than Gauntlet, through its upgrade system. So therefore, Gradius is also an RPG. 😁

    So, after a few minutes of pondering this video, as well as reading some comments, i find some things to consider. Firstly, great as it to call Doom an action RPG, it does admittedly lack most of the... roleplaying elements, to make that. Pethaps more accurate would be to call it a dungeon crawler, which also describes its contemporaries just as well if not better. Another interesting thing to note is the Doom Bible, the original design doc for the game. Reading it will reveal the game was originally planned to be much different, with multiple playable characters with different stats, a much greater emphasis on story and narrative, and even full cutscenes. Knowing this, the game's ascendancy becomes even more obvious. But also something i rememberer... Doom RPG exists. There is an RPG gane under the Doom IP, 2 of them, in fact. I guess it all comes full circle.
