The Suffering was pretty bad to be honest, gameplay wasn't good at all.

Doom 3 has it's problems and I definitely think it's overrated, but compared to The Suffering it's BEST GAME EVAR

What gets me is the incessant moaning about games because it doesn't do x, y and z. No mention at all about the good stuff, always the negative, then nit-picking if all else fails. Maybe you should ask the above question of some of the other guys on here, those who seem to expect games to give them a blowjob or something. FFS.

Doom 3 - I bought it, I played it, I marvelled at it, I finished it. I enjoyed it. Sorry.

When games cost €50 a go, and receive ridiculous amounts of praise and hype from everywhere, what do you expect? So by your logic, fawning and drooling over a game is allowed, but turning around and going "well actually, it's ok ... BUT!... here's some reasonable reasons why I may not be replaying it anytime soon" gets the third degree from people who sometimes you'd almost think their idea of the best game ever is the next one they play.
Adult and logical criticism of games is as viable and reasonable as any book or movie review.

It was the worst and yet you completely missed it. Now stop annoying me before I abuse my moderator powers and ban you from this board.

Back on topic.

The positives? i just spent the last 2 hours playing it again, and after 5 minuts, was completely engrossed all over again. Beat. Game. EVAR!.
The only thing i didnt like was the manual. Doom 1 had a cool manual with pictures of the bad guys and descriptions and all...it was funky

The one single best thing about Doom 3 is the clever marketing. It actually made people who don't like the Doom style of game go out and buy it. Very clever on Carmack's part.
Lets repeat the name of the game just once more and maybe we can save non-doom-style game fans from wasting their money:-

D-O-O-M with a 3

Avoiding repeating it all ad nauseum I'll just say it was average, technically superb, built for the engine rights, but boring in itself To Me.
BUT, I still find it strange that a lot of people defend it based on the it being a throwback to the original games. Doom3 does not play like 1 or 2, it's much more detailed but 'smaller' and less frenetic. I'm not going to argue the merits of one approach over the other just saying this angle is confusing....

And you know what is "funnier", is that he gets banned for being off topic while there's another thread in Games about **** and stuff that hasn't been removed despite the mods being asked to (politely) and instead is turned into a pureile off topic love-in.

Freedom for Wolfy!!!!!!!

Well Hl2 seemed to hav ebeen built specifically with mods in mind, and why not; it's what earned Valve their money.
Does anyone have any actual details on the doom3 modabiity?

I expect the source to be opened at some stage, so It should be fully modable.

tman

aren't they releasing the sdk for it at more or less the same time as the linux dedicated server?
