Jools Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I expected to see a Doom 3 thread on here already, but I guess you're all either too busy playing it, or not interested? It was definitely worth the wait. The graphics are awesome.. even on the lowest settings! Plus its got all the old Doom characteristics, as well as a new, eerie kind of Resident Evil type of atmosphere - you can walk past a shadowed corner without so much as a sound, then as soon as you've passed the corner, a zombie cranks up a chainsaw and makes a lunge for your back. Its very scary - similar to The Suffering, for those who've played that. The fact that everything is poorly lit on purpose, and most monsters like to attack you once you're backs turned, can have you wandering around an empty room with paranoia, actually expecting something to appear out of nowhere - and 75% of the time, something does appear. But you'll kill it, thinking thats that, turn around only to walk into the wrong end of a shotgun. Those bloody marines... I could go on all day about how good it is, but if I did that, I wouldnt get to play it, so I'm back off to kill some more of these damn annoying spiders.

Slim Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I think it's pants. A complete disapointement. It looks decent enough, but it plays bloody awful. Small claustraphobic levels, boring and unconvincing level design, very uninspired gameplay (find key, open door, shoot baddies), very repetetive scary tricks (oh look an monster appeared behind me yet again), downright supid stuff like monsters in cupboards by themselves and the daft torch that can't be used the same time as a one handed gun.... Big let down for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'd echo that. I finished it a few days ago on Veteran and I can't say I'm too bothered about going back to do it on Nightmare. Sure, it's atmospheric and it looks ok, but it's very repetitive and very little to differentiate between levels. The levels in Hell are interesting though, it's just a shame there wasn't more of that type of level design throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Haven't been able to sleep without the lights of for weeks Scare factor greater than any film I've ever seen, that's the part I loved. 39 attempts to kill the boss in Hell 18 attempts to kill final boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Oh and I agree with Slim, same all the way through I hope they don't do DOOM 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I thought Doom III was supposed to be the Holy Grail of vapourware. Is it a rush job then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I think you're thinking of Duke Nukem. It's not rushed, it's just your typical iD fps shooter (ie it's a 40 level tech demo for their latest engine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 So most of you wouldn't recommend Doom III then, I though it looked ok but my pc is xxxx so I would have to have waited till the Xbox version came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I'd says its well worth the play through, but uninstall straight after you complete it. No reason for buying in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerner Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Got so infuriated with the flippin' torch thing, even with the duct tape mod it still got on my nerves... Looks very pretty, but too much running around in the dark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
