Boro

Obviously well thought out.

I didnt have any expectations other than graphics for this game.
Its heavily (totally maybe) graphics orientated (which is fair and obvious) but it honestly has no other substance whatsoever.

I know that Doom and its sequels was just mindless shooting but a story is important to hold your interest. I have all the weapons but the BFG and the Soul Cube so its not like i havent actually played through it...

I just really didnt like this game...its just my opinion...except the Mancubus...which is big and cuddly

I'm playing it and it seems... a bit repetetive. The lightining, etc. is glorious but the coridoors, etc all seem a bit samey. I feel like I'm racing around just trying to constantly update my security clearance to open a new door...
Does the enviornment change much? I'm in Alpha Labs, so it's still early on.

Eh, not really.

I suppose Hell is the biggest enviroment change. But all the others are just....labby.

I was re-playing KOTOR at the same time and found myself more interested in that, than playing Doom 3. Despite having already played and finished KOTOR before.

It's very samey-samey, very repetitive. It's not a bad game, but it's definitely not 9/10 material.

Ixoy - not really. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil it. Read the spoiler if you can't resist:

You get to go to Hell which is cool at first, but gets boring aswell. Then when you think the game is going to end you go right back to Delta Labs

Imo superb game best FPS of the year so far, atmoshphere is perfect, graphics nice and gameplay is excellent.

After Hell the scary part goes and in comes mini gun madness, nicely paced in that it starts out to scare you ( worked for me) then after hell its kill em all old school doomies.
Mars base feels like a base on Mars so the atmoshphere it creates works.


Now had 0 hopes of that being agood game and 0 hopes of HL2 , both making me a happy bunny

If the Doom 3 expansion pack is Echo and Foxtrot Labs I'll be disappointed.

I found it very repetitive aswell.
The graphics alone are amazing.
The story is hokum.
They tryed to create a creepy atmosphere
reading emails and listening to audio logs is not my idea of fun.
One touch that i liked was the

The game should be fun not boring.

i haven't played yet because my rig is really a piece of poo in this day and age and i reckon you really need to have all the graphical bells and whistles going on hto really get the enjoyment out of this game.

for example a Czech lad managed to get it running on a 2 Voodoo 2 12megs SLI rig and while thats some acheivement in itself it surely ruins the game without the fancy lighting etc. The polygon count looks crap too.

What about the sound ?? Doom3 has the best sound of any game I have ever played also the graphics are simply the best can't remember how many pairs of pants I went through playing that game. Both sound and graphics in Doom3 are better than Half life 2 but the HL2 game is much more fun to play !!

Doom3 had its moments and overall I kinda liked it, but maybe thats because so many people thought it would be the dogs b*llocks and then it turns out to be just OK, I expected it to be utterly pants, and was pleasently surprised tbh.

Im at the teleporter stage of Delta labs. The sound is excellent but i didnt mention it because i think that the worse than useless guns really wreck the atmosphere sound wise...honestly i can totally see what people see in the game but even though im not a HL2 or Halo 2 fanboy (wouldnt wait in line for them) i did find doom to be boring.

I loved Doom2 so much because all you had to do was f*ckin plough through demons with the plasma gun to feel great...It had a great agressive nature when your face changed as you mauled the enemy...I loved throwing on level 7 which was "Dead Simple" or level 8 "Tricks and Traps" and just f*ckin givin em hell.

Doom 3 has none of the stuff that a 10 year old game has...It just changed it to ploughing through emails to get the code for a door you need to open or whatever and though this presents a good realism effect i really wanted something like Serious Sam 2 and the original Doom(s) with twice the speed of Doom3 and no reloading.........

very repetative, but thoroughly enjoyed it! nice game!

play it alone at night! awesome!
