Doom 3 Tomorrow

[Biohazzard56]

Its almost here and by tomorrow most places should have it. Some Gamestop stores in So-Cal are selling Doom 3 early according to Gamespy. Maybe we can get a Deathmatch server or two going.

[JetRaiden]

It's great to have friends in game stores :)

[Biohazzard56]

I just played it for about 20 minutes there are no words to describe how giddy and scared shitless I am, I love it.

[firecrackerNC]

well damn.Guess I wont be getting it,this comps a piece of shit and wouldnt run it

[Triggar]

I'm playing it when I get home.

I may or may not have to beat Martyr into submission in order for this to happen, but I think of that as collateral damage.

I will report back tonight... if I'm not sitting with my arms crossed, rocking back and forth, staring into space and twitching.

^^^^

Ditto, I forgot to save so I stopped after dieing.

This game is fucking badass.

[Dharkbayne]

So apparently, you have to pull a flashlight out, and have to lower your gun to use it in the retail version?

[Corrosion]

Yep, a flashlight isnt built into guns.

[Madcow]

I can't wait. <3 Id.

[EarlyDawn]

I think a nice compromise would be to let you do the over-under thing with the flashlight and handgun.

[Madcow]

I think a nice compromise would be to let you do the over-under thing with the flashlight and handgun.

That's not a good compromise when the point is to create situations that scare the crap out of you.

[EarlyDawn]

So feel free to explain how I'm supposed to fight a zombie when I can't see where the hell he is.

One of the major complaints I've heard is that you can't shoot accurately in the dark, 'cause you have to put your flashlight away. This way, you can use it along with a weapon that isn't that powerful anyway.

[Dharkbayne]

Zombies don't move very fast, iirc

Just shoot till the "uuuuuuughhhhhhhhhh" stops and you hear a "thump"

That's what i did.

[Setari]

it works quite well.

[Kaltagesta]

I didn't particularly enjoy it.

Everywhere you go, there are zombies and weird dog things. Sure, its scary the first few times, but when you KNOW there is going to be one round every single corner, it's really not scary. Obviously the graphics pwn, but i don't think they are much/at all better than FarCry's, and while the shadow's are nice, i prefer the FarCry ones. In Doom, if your in a show you literally cannot see a thing, which may be realistic but doesnt make the best gaming experiance.

I just prefered FarCry all over. The story is a load better, keeping in you in suspense for along long time, with plot twists and the like. Admittedly, i haven't played Doom very much yet, but it jsut seems like 'Opps, we opened a gate to hell - Now get out there and shoot shit, marine!" Also, FarCry still makes me scared [i havent completed it yet] because where often you are in the jungle, enemies can come from all sides. In Doom, it's pretty much the fact that if it isn't right in front of you, it isn't there.

You can't 'use' anything, and beyond punching a few boxes, nothnig is very interative at all. Overall i just think FarCry is a better game, and made me a load more scared too, and still does. Also, the guns look nicer. Another thing about Doom is the random sounds. All it does is confuse you, not add to the experiance. There's jsut a laod of rattling and shit around, and you can look all you like but theres rarely anything there. This leads to a Boy-who-cried-wolf affect, where there normally isn't, but occaisionally is something there, so you never really know - the sound seems completely irrelevant to whats actually going on, making it totally redundant - you may as well play with the speakers off.

One thing i lvoe, however, was the PDA. I loved the depth it gave to the characters, and was one of the few things that built up suspense before hell broke lose - "something weird is going on" etc. That was good. But after the gate is opened, all you do is shoot random things.

I'm a little disapointed, but to be honest, i wasn't expecting a huge ammount. If you like your typical 'shoot everyhting that moves' games like Timesplitters and Serious Sam, then you'll love it - But just upgrading the graphics while keeping the exact same gameplay style as the original over ten years ago just doesn't cut it for me.

In short, FarCry > Doom III, in my opinion.

[JFPhoenix]

Do you think Blockbuster might have it for the Xbox? Or is it realesed only on PC tommorrow?

[Dharkbayne]

It was released today. Xbox version comes in a few motnhs.

[Biohazzard56]

EB Games has Xbox listed for October 10th. ITs going ot have 2 Player Coop local and 2 player coop online as well. The Multiplayer is fun as well ive even found a few servers with more than 4 people :). Some advice for you all the flashlight will quickly become your primary weapon because its scary and you just want to see light but luckily its very easy to switch to weapon flashlight just press F and it switches from flashlight to the last weapon you had selected. There is one part in the game that suprised me, basically there is an extra locker and you have to go to a website (im not making this up) and put in the keycode found on the site to open the locker. Its not vital but whats inside the locker makes your time well worth it. I wont say any more than that its great stuff though maybe some Doom 3 MP tonight. Ive already seen servers with more than 4 people.

[Disconnecting]

We (being me and the voices in my head) have John Carmack tied up and locked in our closet until he agrees to port doom 3 to my superior computer running MAC OS 6!!

an update on my situation in a few hours

[Triggar]

Martyr is monopolizing the game.

I'm looking at the graphics from my seat to his right. Pwn.

/me grabs bottle of chloroform and prepares to take action against game-hogging boyfriend

[Dharkbayne]

Install it on your PC and get a "fixed" .exe

[StrangeFellow]

it works now and its storming out side. needless to say, i'm scared shitless

surround sound + 19in monitor + no lights + freaky angel picture + pepsi +doom3 = :scared:

[Led]

Led scares easy :( :scared:

[Ivan]

Led scares easy :( :scared:
Come here. Let uncle Ivan hold you. :brow: I won't let the scary monsters get you. :)

[Triggar]

HOLY CRAP, THAT GAME IS TERRIFYING.

I threw off my headphones and ran onto the couch and onto Martyr, I couldn't take it anymore, I have the jibblies like never before!! :scared:

:brow:

[JetRaiden]

bah! went to EB Games and they said they sold all 30 copies. :rolleyes: so I reserved one for their shipment tomorrow.

[Led]

Come here. Let uncle Ivan hold you. :brow: I won't let the scary monsters get you. :)

Go away, Rubashov impersonator :p lol

[AztecWarrior]

Should I even get this game? I'm not a fan of scary movies and have a family history of heart problems.

[_-Gunslinger-_]

Its scary for the first 20 mins. Then you realise that unless you get in melee range they do shit for damage. Im on the normal mode (or atlease its called "Marine") and rarly ever reach a point at whitch i become concerned. Just warez it and then buy it when your gamestop gets it. This way you can play online!

[r3d]

Fun fun fun
Beat the game, down in hell it gets pretty damn cool.

[Jaged]

Ewww pepsi? Now thats scary. Get a real drink like mountain dew or coke. :p

Anyway I have to agree this game is not as scary as i expected it to be. If you think about it a bit the monster placement can be very predictable. Occationaly they will throw curve balls though. I can't find the BFG though. What is that thing anyway? What does BFG stand for (I know it can't be big fucking gun, the first thing that came to mind. Well actualy, yeah it could be.)

[Entra]

How's the jump from Marine to hard mode?

[Sputty]

Jaged's right
Drink a man's soft drink
Wait a minute
Whatever, drink coke or die

[Jaged]

I just played a little more and I have to retract my previous statment. This game can be scary as shit. And im being a pussy and playing on easy setting. (Rookie I think its called.)

Edit: Lmao, one of the emails you get is an advertisment for clone porn. hot identical clones in action! The future is gouing to be great. :cool:

[Electrofreak]

I wish I could buy it but I've got every penny I own reserved for PSUMA. Yeah, I don't make an awful lot of money. :\

[EarlyDawn]

Playing it on Veteran. Not really scary, although it does have good "boo!" qualities to it.

The six people I had over to chill while we played (myself included) got a syncronized "oh shit" when one of the earlier imps did that leap attack right through a door. Then my girlfriend started giggling. :lol:

I said it on TS I'll say it again... sounds like a nice girl...


I however am sad... for I did not get it for my birthday like I was hoping, the box I saw my dad with WAS Doom3, but it was for my cousin... :(

The BFG 9000 is and has always been the Big Fucking Gun. Id never even bothered to pretend it stood for anything else.

[Triggar]

I lost my voice from screaming, playing this game.

I think I have a tumor. The noises those multi-eyed things make when they jump out makes me lose bladder control.

This game kicks ass.

[Dharkbayne]

Just finished extracting, :D
