Doom 3

[Akuun]

For me, it's not the actual combat that's scary, because anyone with basic skill at FPSes can handle most (note I said MOST ) fights fairly easily. No, what sets this game apart from the rest is the atmosphere. The scary stuff is not that big ugly thing that you can see running up to claw your face off, because at least you know you can shoot it and it'll go down like anything else. It's the cornered, let-me-out feel to it. It's the stuff that you see that hints at bigger things to come. It's the stuff that you hear, and I won't give anything away as to WHAT you hear. I totally forgot that there was no music in the game until several levels in because sound is so important. So while it doesn't make you jump when you hear something almost totally unexpected (and I don't mean large crashing sounds), it does send a chill through you.

And I wish the guy would learn to tape the freaking flashlight to the barrel of his gun But even that doesn't detract from the game much. And if you want you can justify it by saying he needs the free hand to reload

It starts kinda samelike than half-life did actually.

I first played it last night and sure it was scary, but you usually know that something will happen when you open next door...

I died first time when all lights went out and 2 monsters came at me on small room and I couldnt switch my flashlight and gun fast enought, so I couldnt even see what was hitting me, that was somewhat poor feeling

I dont like the cave feeling so much, would like to see more open areas, prolly comes after gettin out from Mars...

Have to test it out more, it runs on my 1800+ Xp, Gforce3 ti200, 512 sdram ..on 1024x786 resolutions, well not so damn good but it can be still played.

I EXACTLY REMEMBER that scene! It was with the 2 zombies, right? I freaked out at first, but then I realized they were both coming from the same door so I turned off my flashlight and fired blindly in their direction and they went down right before they reached me.

THIS GAME IS WORTH BUYING. Don't download it, it won't run anyway! I don't think it has been cracked yet, the downloadable ISOs are straight cd rips that are totally useless unless you have a key or something of that sort (can't even install the game with the serial #).

So much blind firing is done in the game. Or you look at shadows and other little reference points to shoot at and hope the bastard falls over.

Another gripe about the game is how the light from gunfire doesn't seem to reflect off walls. You can fire a gun in a totally dark room and it won't light up anything

Is Evasive your hero, Rogue?

I'll probably have to upgrade my system to get Doom 3 running nice and smooth. I've only got a P4 2.4B with 1GB of PC1066 RDRAM and a GeForce4 Ti4600. I need to change over to a new mobo and proc (don't know whether I want to go AMD or Intel), get some PC3200 DDR (at least a gig), and finally, get the latest and greatest ATI card. Then I'll be ready to rock. And I'll also be ready to rock when (and if...) Half-Life 2 hits the shelves.

What kind of systems are you guys running Doom 3 on, and what's the performance like in-game? (If you wouldn't mind, include what kind of graphical settings you're using in-game.)

[Hairygroin]

The TI 4600 works. Its a far cry from the gf4 mx setup that the game says is the "minimum requirement".

Check this article out for some benches with lower end cards to see what you'll be getting.

hey, I run an Athlon 1900+ with a radeon 8500 and 512 megs of ram (I'm not sure on this one. I forgot ) and it runs fine at 800x600 with medium settings. They're both slightly overclocked but since you run on better hardware than me anyway you should run doom 3 fine.

Edit: When I say 'fine' I mean 'playable' :P But the gameplay isn't really hair trigger for the most part anyway so unlike most FPSes you can get away with 20-30 fps and it'll still be okay.

It was cracked the same day the game was released, a nice little bundle that had everything you needed. However you cant play online, DM sucks anyways, I want co-op!

[Hairygroin]

ew you downloaded it?


This is going to be a game worth buying, because so many mods and such are going to be made for it. Ugh.

[Heatha]

Oh I'm going to buy it, but the price will have to come down before I do anything crazy like that.

[Dameon Angell]

I'm gonna buy it if they come out with some cool mods for multiplayer. But yeah, this game is just the shit. Scared the shit outta me, omfg. <3 Doom 3 ezpz

[iNgeNfyRe]

how are the controls? traditional WASD with E = use and stuff like that? any fancy binding?

[Miku19]

Believe it or not... YOU CAN ACTUALLY CUSTOMIZE THE CONTROLS!

[Cops]

Right now where I live Future SHop has a deal on for Doom 3, $69.99 (Canadian) and you get Knights of the Old Republic free. If you've played Knights of the Old Republic you know this is an offer to drive any nerd mad.
