What a retarded post. You could play Doom 1 with an NES pad, yes. Would it be a fun experience? Probably not. More likely it'd just frustrate the fuck out of you even on a lower difficulty. I beat Doom 1 on the GBA back in the day and that version of the game was tuned down difficulty wise so that Nightmare was basically PC's Hurt Me Plenty, and Doom 1 isn't a hard game to begin with.You could play Doom 1 with a NES pad if you wanted.
The point being made about consoles and gamepads is that while PC FPS games post-Doom1 were evolving into the late 90's, the difficulty level of them was growing to match a more skilled playerbase who is more used to using KB&M. Try playing Blood on Extra Crispy on a shitty gamepad and see how far you get. As soon as consoles took over with Halo and CoD all FPS campaigns turned into regenerating shields/health hide behind a wall cover shooter interspersed with story cutscenes, the difficulty of a console shooter does not come from the game's design it comes from the limitations of using a gamepad and thus single player FPS gameplay stagnated hard thanks to shitty consoles.
