Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)

Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.

× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

I do not know that it is that simple.

Doom does a lot of things right, Space hulk is certainly the simpler original gangsta.

In the end I will have to go with Space Hulk for my vote, but it is not the landslide you would think.

Space Hulk is like Doom except there's only one kind of monster and the marines' guns always jam, killing them more than anything else. Most of your tactical thought relates to what you'll do if this or that guy's gun jams. But the miniatures are really expensive and detailed, and will look awesome if you're among the 5% of the game's owners that has the skill and time to paint them all.

Doom does have a wide variety of monsters and weapons. Plus, there's almost no assembly required (I don't mind gluing minis together, but I know a lot of people who don't care for it).

Though Space Hulk may be awesome, I vote for DOOM. Reason being I like it, and I don't think it gets enough love. And that all a game really wants right? ...Love?

I mean, we're talking about Demons from Hell and crazy space marines trying to blow the crap out of each other here.

Tonight was the first time ever I actually played Space Hulk in boardgame form.
It played quite differently to what I thought it would.
I don't get the Doom comparisons at all. The games felt next to nothing alike. Doom feels far more like space crusade or a dungeon crawl as opposed to SH. I can't see either game substituting for the other.
Will cast my vote later on when i have had time to digest.

I've always considered DOOM to be a non-fantasy dungeon crawl.

Space Hulk, like Cosmic Encounter, is just of those pure designs they got really right. It is simple, fast and doesn't have a huge amount of overhead. No comparison.

My vote is for Space Hulk (and it would have been the same a year ago).

This should have been posted a bit later on, when most of us would have been able to actually play our new copies :) That said, I preoredered Space Hulk as soon as I saw it was going to get reprinted, while my interest in Doom has never been that high...

Vote: Space Hulk

Space Hulk's been around for 20 years. How much longer do you fuckers need?
