Doom 3 - The wait is over

[Zok]

It's okay.

One of the most highly anticipated titles in recent years, and still he's monosylabic

The queen of understatement strikes again

Well, tbh I am not that much in awe. The story is as usual overused and the only new thing in it is the graphics. Played the first level and suprisingly all hell breaks lose and I were there with a shotgun, who could have figured.

Sure it is dark and the bad guys are lurking everywhere. The music/sound is moody but not that scary. I run it on 9800Pro in "medium" at 800x600. The graphics suffer when you don't have the latest card and it is halo/wolfenstein/any fps with the same theme kind of game. The only thing I was really positive about is that they have removed hitboxes and you actually need to hit the object to hit it if you know what I mean.

Will have another look this weekend but I wasn't thrilled beyond excitement tbh.

ditto.

I can run around in the dark, knowing there were some tremendous graphics that I could see if only I had a torch, but hang on, I do, only I can't use that and shoot.  

Hang on turning a corner, go through a door, I wonder if there'll be some dribbling imbecile that'll get a cheap shot because I can't see him, then I'll find him shoot him a few times, and as if by magic, find some health and repeat ad naueseum. (That pretty much means 'over and over' for you Scottish).

Pretty, crap story, promising for the first ten minutes as you pass lots of passively active players, oh hang on....flickery light, I'll be right with you once I've shot whatever twat is going to jump at me from the shadows.

Wolfenstein was ok until it turned into this crap in the underground bit.

Why can't anyone make a good game anymore? This is as Zok so rightly put....ok.

If by ok, you mean average, and your defenition of average is like sitting down to strain and strain and then producing what can only be described as disappointing. You've put the effort in, you got the result, but you can't help feeling disappointed.

DuVeL found this image and I think it sums it up nicely. Save your money for the real thing.

Doris

ive found this on fileplanet

"Not too long after DOOM 3's release mod designers got busy, the result is many mods that may improve your gameplay! From adding a flamethrower to duct taping flashlights to your guns, we've got it all right here!
 More Info or Download"

[DuVeL]

Give Benny a link, then he doesn't have to search 4 it!   (I know fileplanet but a link is allways handy, keep in mind he has a litle 1 to look after and that's taking up alot of time).
Thanks Mats for the credits

[Benny]

Cheers Doris, but the truth is, I really can't be TANGO'd. I shouldn't have to go looking for ways to make it better.

Mods suck anyway, (erm....bugger....CS).


EDIT: Having re-read that, I don't want any rockers out there being offended, so rockers, you make up for it with good foreplay.

[DarkAngel]

Started playing round a mates hes got a p4 3ghz and a fatest gc and it was rather jolty had to put it down to 800 by 600 odd that but the game so far is ok... now to play it on my machine

[JonnyAppleSeed]

Fully enjoying it   Whatch out for those mirrors

And for those who have not martianbuddy :blink:

[Sc00by_d00]

Doom 3 is a total waste of money IMHO!  I am playing it on 800 x 600 (Medium) and it is slow (P4 2.66GHz, FX 5700 Ultra and shit loads of DDR), It plays, but the speed of the game is CRAP!

Got it today, uninstalled it one hour later, if anyone wants it for £20 inc P&P, let me know! You welcome to it.  Unless you have a bleeding edge PC, don’t even bother.  

I found the graphics in Max Payne 2 to be just as good - and the speed was there to boot!!! Same for Pain-Killer (in fact people would be better off getting Pain Killer, superb graphics, cheaper and much faster).  What the !%$K as ID done!!!

THE GAME IS A %^^$ing total disappointment!!!
