I know almost nothing about Doom. Is pic related an acceptable way of experiencing the first two games?

No.
Even BFG edition is not the acceptable way to play the 3rd one.

it's decent on it's own, but it doesn't exactly feel like doom.

No, it's nothing like Doom 1 or 2.
Just pirate Doom 2 and ultimate Doom, there are a million source ports you can get to run them on a modern rig and the games hold up very well.
Have fun.

are you able to extract the WADs and use them in source ports?
if not then no

No, it's nothing like any of others. Doom 3 is actually a good game.

Only if its all you got or are willing to get. Youll really do yourself a favor to get doom on pc and get some mods after a few hours

Apparently a lot of your repliers never played BFG edition, it has Doom 1 and 2 inside. If you just want to get the core DOOM experience it works pretty good. If you want to dick around in custom wads and stuff I dunno if you can do any of that nonsense.

Essentially BFG runs the game in 60 FPS or higher with smoother animations and better textures but they redid a few of the character models and absolutely fucked up the game's lighting by making it brighter. They also added a shoulder mounted flashlight toggle on your armor which was a common mod for Doom 3 back in the day and removed the original flashlight.

It also has checkpoints, a reduced FOV, made cutscenes unskippable, got rid of some enemies and increase the amount of ammo you get from pickups.

Much better to play the original game for the better lighting quality and the more difficult gameplay.

>it has Doom 1 and 2 inside.
Yeah that's what I was talking about. Is there anything significantly wrong with those ports?

Use a proper source port. The one built into Doom 3 is garbage.

You can use the WADs from the BFG Edition in a modern source port if you have an issue with just pirating the original Doom WADs. Though you're better off just pirating them.

Doom 1 and 2 however has achievements, supports higher resolutions, makes mouse control a little better.

They nerfed projectile speed on nightmare mode for whatever reason.

Nope.

Doom 2 changes the wolfenstein reference secret levels to not do so.

Otherwise it's pretty much the same.

Personally I would play using a port called Crispy Doom so you can play at 60+ FPS (doom is normally locked to 35)

...

No. Doom 3 is very different from Doom, Doom II, and D44m. Doom 3 is survival horror.

It's better to just pirate the .wads and get a good featured sourceport like GZDoom.

>all these losers saying no

Yeah go for it user. It's a great game.
Although, after finishing 3, I strongly recommend playing through the first one. If you like that too, play the second.
After that, you should go back and play Doom3 the same way you would play Doom 1 and 2, it really changes the game up.

It sort of is when you download that sourceport that fixes bethesda's fuckery.

oh wait. Are you saying, bundled in with BFG edition comes D1 and D2, and if that bundle is a good port of them?

If so, then yeah go ahead.

Doom 3 costs two fucking dollars and is the superior version of the game

Doom 1 and 2 are free

Don't tell the OP to burn his money

>Doom 1 and 2 are free
No it isn't. Sure it's easy to get for free but so is Doom 3 or any other game really.
