Doom 3

[Dameon Angell]

NOTE: SPOILERS BTW




Doom 3 is created by soulless bastards. This game has seriously like, scared the shit outta me.

I've been playing it and like, the scariest part, is kinda in the middle, after hell breaks loose. The "pinky" demon comes in and trys busting down the door and I was looking around for a way out, and i started to panic and here it comes around and thru the fucking window. omfg. scary ass shit.

that and the "voices in my head" telling me shit and this guy laughing at me when i was gonna enter this satanic looking office, with candles and shit to get some fucking PDA. scary ass shit

[Mr. Peanuts]

id Software have always been very satanic. I LOVE IT.

Havent really tested it yet but its a worth of a try I guess ;]

I saw these new screenshots from HL2, and it has so much nicer looking mapdesing, lots of open areas, city...not so dark. Im expecting much from hl2....even ordered new gfx card yesterday.

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.

Edit: When I say 'fine' I mean 'playable' :P

Thats exactly what I have, and I dont need/want to upgrade. My guess is that Jasons current hardware will handle Doom 3 nicely.

is the bfg9000 still there?

Yes - but you get it late in the game.

EDIT: Now you can/have to charge it yourself. Firing quickly will waste only a BFG Cell, but holding the fire button will make it charge up to 4 cells. Dont overcharge it, it will kill you.

you can play " Super Turkey Punch-Out "

Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3

I already beat the game, and its rather nice till the end. The only thing i dont like is the linear storyline, but hey, iD Soft. just want to showcase their new engine, not to make a storyline good enough to make players breathe underwater.

If you play and still didn't get to play the level in hell, i might tell you to not keep your ammo - waste it if you can. Once you get teleported in hell, you start over with nothing but fists (there's some weapons on the ground when starting, but NO DAMN FLASHLIGHT.)

Note to self, bring tape on my next trip to mars, so I can fix the flashlight on my shotgun.

Another note (half-spoiler!), once you get the soulcube (you go to hell to get the soulcube), remember that it can be used to drain enemies life points. I didnt know this part, and wondered why medkits was so rare after the hell map.

For tradition's sake, guess who's waiting for you at the end of the game. Dont forget to use the soulcube to drain his life points, cause there's no medkits around (and he's not affected by *that* other thing the soulcube can do).

Last thing, theres an easter egg at the end of the game, just before entering for the last boss. Listen carefully when you'll see that ID Software logo.

For those of you who don't know if your comp can handle it, Doom 3 runs ok with my geforce 2 and pentium 4 1.8. This is on the Low Quality video setting, the graphics don't look too bad with this either, but they're not outstanding. Definately playable though.

Is RAM a deciding factor though? I have a 2.4 and a radeon 9600 but only 512 megs of DDR ram.

Minimum Specs

Should be fine with 512

[Citroen]

to the people trying to download it off p2p or bittorrent, the filesize is 1.76 GB, so good luck.

and 512 mb DDR should be good enough, as long as you dont have memory hogging programs on at the same time.
Try playing Unreal 2 with 3d Studios Max, Flash MX, AIM, and Continuum with my 512, makes for unplayability in high-end games.

[Stabwound]

lol 1.76GB?!??! What shall we do!??!

[Amok]

That's nothing, just leave your comp on for a few days

[Stabwound]

Sarcasm... I've downloaded like 15GB in 1 day.

[Amok]

yeah I realised, my reply was in response to Citroen

[aLi_G]

it fucking works slow on my comp

[DoTheFandango]

I downloaded 1.7 GB in about 45 Mins.

[Citroen]

its alot easier on bittorrent. but still.... not all of us have stable connections, and not all of us can afford to leave our computers on for three straight days. My laptop's fan barely gets by when I play SS, leaving it on constantly will just have me ending up with a melted video card. ESPECIALLY when playing graphics-intensive games. for gaming, desktops are way better.


EDIT: LOL, after i wrote that, i spilled my coke all over my keyboard and my pants.
