What does /v/ think of Doom 3?
I honestly enjoyed the horror and claustrophobic atmosphere, despite what most people said
>>337902545
Yeah, I played it recently and the game still pretty damn fun.
They need to buff the creatures, maybe remove the amount of health you can find in the game.
ROE really had that problem. You'd find like large stockpiles of health just out in the open.
It's just like thanks, is it trapped? Nope. Good.
>>337902440
Literally the best Doom, by far.
Not even memeing.
>>337902440
The ultimate bait-and-switch in gaming form. Was not a bad game---hell, the tech was ground breaking upon release--but it just was not the action-packed follow up to Doom II.
Replayed via BFG re-release a few years back and thought it was still fine---a solid 6/10.
>>337902440
I love Doom 3, I hate the entire PC playerbase for it because they're all casual losers that wet the bed if they don't have a nighlight on to chase away the demons in their heads and the demons on their monitors.
>>337902440
I liked it. Then again, I have shit taste.
If they made the weapons better I would enjoy it a lot more. Atmosphere is good.
>>337902440
>someone saved my screenshot
wew
>>337902440
I enjoyed it. The audio and the graphics were both amazing and made it easy to immerse yourself in the environment. The gunplay was solid too for the time.
It was not a doom game as it had little in common with the first two besides the point of view but, it was still a good, enjoyable game.
It made me feel at unease more than once, fucking fly babies.
>>337907057
>it was not a doom game
Fuck off with this meme. If a game is made by the lead dev and it has the name, it's a fucking DOOM game. It's just a different incarnation of DOOM, doesn't make it "not doom".
The focus on horror more than action was cool at the time, but looking back I really wish it was more like a traditional Doom game.
And fuck that Flashlight shit that was unbelievable horse shit
>>337907306
I don't get how everyone hates the flashlight so much, after a half hour of playing the game I'm completely used to it. I forget I'm even switching back and forth, it's just second nature.

Smoke meth, hail satan: the experience

It was.
Just because another game came out with groundbreaking tech doesn't lessen Doom 3's.
DOOM had revolutionary lighting and shadows, half life had jack shit in that department, half life 2 was all about the physics. DOOM3 had those cool high res terminals too, while I wouldn't call groundbreaking was really innovative for the time.

>>337902545
I really enjoyed it when I played it, because I wasn't really into Doom back then and Doom 3 was the first one I played, so I didn't really have any expectations of what a Doom game should be like, and I have great memories of the game, but looking back, it was a completely different approach of game than the first Doom games, which weren't really going for scary and dark, that kinda started with Doom64 I think, which was still the same classic gameplay as Doom 1 and 2 though. but 1+2 had nothing of this, it had demons and some satanic symbols here and there but the whole time it was just rock music and fast action, and Doom 3 was relatively slow paced and had more atmospheric music and sound design
Doom 2016 is exactly what Doom 3 should have been as a Doom game, but I don't think Doom 3 is bad at all. It basically comes down to that cliche "it's not a bad game, it's just a bad Doom game" for me

It was the last Doom that some of the original devs actually worked for, so it's pretty decent.

It had a somewhat realistic physics system which is portal really.
>>337910802
Back then the physics based puzzles (and the physics in general) was groundbreaking. It also had the most realistic facial animations of the time, which was considered a big deal then.
>>337910876
What, because they're praising a good game?
>>337910942
Puzzels are game mechanics.
animation is alright, as doom 3's wasn't really spot on.

The one where you first meet Cyborg CEO in person I believe.
It was alright, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy it. The atmosphere was fantastic in my opinion.
But that being said the jumpscares were pretty fucking shitty and it got really dull after the 10th time an imp would teleport behind you or something came outta the closet behind you.
If they focused alot more on the horror aspect and not make the jumpscares so predictable and toned down on them a bit I'd like the game a hell of alot more.
>>337910605
Raven shooters are always at least solid. I've enjoyed it around release in informational vacuum, and I've enjoyed revisiting and playing it to completion years later. The only issues I have are the vehicle sections and slow movement speed before stroggification. Easily better than Q2 in my book.
>>337902440
There's two types of DOOM fans. The ones who are old enough to have played the original two games while they were relevant and those who played DOOM 3 as their first DOOM.
The first group likely enjoyed the new DOOM and the second group wish it were more like DOOM 3.
Personally, I hated DOOM 3.
>>337907119
It was perfectly fine for everyone to say DOOM 4 wasn't a DOOM game until it came out. I wonder why you're so pissy over people daying DOOM 3 isn't a DOOM game, which it fucking isn't. It's a shitty corridor shooter riding the fame of a popular franchise.
I literally spun through levels like a ballerina because of the constant enemies spawning behind you. You could always predict where it would happen too.
The flashlight was never an issue for me, I actually liked the tension of having to chose between a gun or a light source.
The weapons sounded pathetic, that was probably an intentional choice to make you feel underpowered, but it was ridiculous having them sound like pellet guns.
>>337914017
It was nice of them to let you attack with the flashlight too. I dunno why but I just found it entertaining giving imps a good walloping with the flashlight. I liked the thumping sound it made too whenever you hit someone with itOr how when you hit another human being with it they just completely fucking disintegrate.
>>337913853
I played D2 when it came out and D1 soon after and like to replay them every year or two. I still liked D3 for what it was. Though I can understand why people who wanted the game be as close to the originals as possible were disappointed about it
>>337913853
>There's two types of DOOM fans
I bet you've spent no time listening to other people and their experience with vidya and pulled this out of your asshole. Why would you even bring up the zeitgeist when the first games play just as smooth as ever, and the underlying design principles haven't been outdated?
>>337913853
I've never seen anyone say they wanted DOOM 4 to be like 3, even people who liked 3. Ever.
Sounds like you're pulling shit out of your ass
its a mediocre horror shooter thats about to have a huge amount of hipster apologists pop up for it because the new one turned out decent.
its honestly an alright game though. it brings the spoop pretty well.
How does this game run on AMD cards?
I saw something about shitty performance on them and was wondering if its been fixed.
Currently have a 280x
>>337915821
I saw someone in another thread say AMD cards run it like hell, but they provided no source so who knows? if i had to guess id say your 280x will run it just fine.
>>337915821
I wouldn't be worried about Doom 3 running on 280x.
>>337915821
If you're talking about D44M, there was supposed to be a driver hotfix released last night, but I haven't tried it yet

Doom 3 was always good, the hipsters are the one saying it was shit.
>>337909915
Quake 4 was OK. Raven Studios are those "cool guys that do solid 8/10 games that you will enjoy then forget about"
Singularity was pretty fucking good
Wolfenstein 2010 was fucking really good
Quake 4 had a slow beginning but after the Stroggification (holy shit didn't expect THAT) it became Quake again
They just good.
>>337902440
Never completed it, I just remember the slow intro, the constant teleporting in of enemies, all fights being in very close quarters with low numbers of enemies, and the levels being a chore to properly scour through. Should I give it another chance?
>>337918078
>Wolfenstein 2010
This doesn't exist anon.
pretty fun for a pirated game but i would have never ever bought it
>>337918139
I checked it's 2009
You know what i mean fag
The Leichenfaust and Tesla Gun were fucking awesome
>>337907473
thats arguably the one thing the game had right though. at the time of release its graphics were stupid good. it looked better than half life 2 and pre-dated it by a few months.
>>337918317
A lot of think that game is garbage.
I personally haven't played it but I think The New Order was really damn good.
>>337918464
It's far from garbage
TNO is very different. I just started playing it and it's pretty good too, but the pacing and design philosophy is completely different.
Garbage? no. TNO has more production though. Also i expected a shooter and got feels.
Feels of killing natzis.
>>337918317
Wolf 2009 was a competently made game for sure, it just came out at a bad time. there was almost nothing to separate it from the sea of endless iron sight FPSes with gray and brown textures and character progression.
>PC exclusive by John Carmack

>>337910583
Wrong, stupid. You seriously can't see the smudge around the third punchline from the bottom on the right?
>>337918945
That isn't better anyways
*teleports behind you* the game.
I enjoyed it but there were some annoying gameplay elements. Opening the door and having an imp jump at you got old.
Isn't there some kinda Thief-like mod?
>>337909484
Yeah, this. I have no idea how people can say it was good when the weapons were so bad.
if Doom 3 would have
>made ammo much more scarce
>cut down on the jump scares
>cut down on the amount of enemy encounters and monster closets
>had more of a focus on exploration, puzzles, and figuring out where to go
I would have enjoyed it way more as a horror game like it was meant to be in contrast to 1 and 2. it had terrific atmosphere that was hampered by awkward combat that was too frequent. its fine they went for a horror aesthetic, but they should've went the whole way instead of keeping one foot in the old ones.

Guns were mostly pretty unsatisfying to use, the first three especially sounded like wet shit
Still though, my fondest memory was encountering the locked room with the BFG sitting right in plain view. I searched the level high and low for the PDA with the relevant code, but couldn't find it.
So I went back to the keypad and entered every 3-digit code it allowed, starting from 111 since it didn't have a zero. Ended up being nine-hundred-something.
Used it once before the Hell portal took all the weapons away. Ho hum.
>>337920023
bfg sucks in doom3
but the plasma rifle was good shit

I'm actually kinda glad they didn't go with the stereotypical "robots go crazy and kill everyone" scenario.
>>337902440
I had a ton of fun with the co-op campaign with a friend. Single player certainly didn't feel like doom though.
>>337920023

Doom 3 is sick.

Better than Doom 4 that's for sure.
>>337925681
I think they're both equally good for their own reasons.
Doom 3 definitely was more bang for its buck though being a more fully fledged single player expirience. All the dev time and budcget put into multi player (I know it's outsourced) should have just been to further the length of the single player campaign.Even though it's obvious there's more but they just cut it out for DLC.
Should I buy Doom 3 or D44M?
I love the idea that you're working at a facility and then everything goes to shit, but I'm not sure I would enjoy an older shooter w/o having nostalgia for it.
How's D44M's story?
>>337908979
what does it actually say? because those are all shopped.
Looks good
>>337926718
Try Absolute HD mod if you haven't already:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/absolutehd/
>>337926497
Doom 4 has way better combat and is very minimal on plot. also has multiplayer and co op with SnapMap.
Doom 3 has much more atmosphere, is slower paced, and is more focused on horror than action.
if you want spoops and atmosphere, get 3.
if you want to feel like a badass, get 4.
>>337926497
Doom 3 sounds more up your alley if you want to see a facility go to complete shit in a matter of minutes. It oozes atmosphere and there's tons of audio and text logs to listen/read.
If you want straight up better gameplay though, DOOM 4 is extremely good. Both are great games depending on what you're looking for.
Also if you want to play DOOM 3 Absolute HD is essential. >>337926826
>>337926497
I'd probably play both just for the experience. Doom 3 gives you a lot of single-player content but some people don't enjoy it. Neither are really story-focused.
If you like Doom 1/2 better get D44M
If you like Doom 64 better get Doom 3.
But if you have the money might as well play both.
>>337926843
Thanks, I think I'll start off with 3.
>>337902440

>But if you have the money might as well play both.
I just might.
it was my first doom game and i loved it. playing it for the first time on xbox way back then was so fun. legitimately spooked me out many times. i really loved the atmosphere of the game
Second half of game was absolutely shit. From being tensely conservative to oh fuck which automatic gun with 43204832 ammo should I use now. Hell was fun though.
>>337902440
it's the most boring and inept game ever made. The engine is shit, the optimisation is shit, the plot is shit, the graphics are shit (inb4 stencil shadows, wew) and most importantly the gameplay is shit.
You just drudge through a series of corridors with a fart shotgun and pop whatever imp teleports in front of you in the head (and there's only one, because the engine is so shit there can be only one npc in the frame)
DLCs kinda made the game better by adding fun stuff lifted from HL2 and the original doom, like powerups and gravity gun, but it was still shitty dark corridor shooter with bleeding anuses as decoration and the edgiest designs possible.
