I too have just aquired doom 3.

gameplay:

cutscene

pull out flashlight (doom 3 has patented "can't see ****" technology)

see zombie

flail frantically with scroll wheel to select something with firepower

shoot blindly until you hear a thud

switch to flashlight

continue on journey to next scripted event.


graphics are cutesy, but that's about it. the game would have been really cool about 3 years ago.

Yea I got the game from EB and I'm loving it. One of my co-workers went and bought the game after work yesterday, and when I spoke to him this morning I laughed my *** off. He was using a GeForce 5200, and appearantly he loaded the game and was messing around with the video settings. I guess he didnt fully realize the graphical complexity of the game and he totally fried the card. LOL!! Fortunatly enough for him he had enough cash to go buy a 6800 Ultra. It was a really nice expensive day for him. LOL!!

pull gun out..
Press F
your flashlight will come out
press F again.. your gun comes back out ( last equiped one )

saves the frantic scrolling =)

btw you have to reset last weapon when you use the PDA

My copy came in the mail yesterday, I installed it this morning, but only had about 10 minutes to play. So far, all I know is that the graphics are freaking incredible. I am thrilled to know that my computer can play the game smoothly on high settings. Woot!

I plan to turn the lights out tonight, pop on my Logitech headphones, pump the volume up, and keep a pack of Pampers close by. Viva la Doom!

Okay look, I'm not saying Doom3 isn't a good game...because it is (just much too scripted for my liking). That being said, please tell me you did not just compare Doom3 to FFXI?

FPS != MMORPG

That's like saying chocolate is better than steak...how can you compare the two? I love both very much but they're not interchangeable :P

OK, I put it on the first post, but just incase you guys miss it, here. It's a mod that adds a flashlight onto your shotgun and MG.

Have fun.

No more frantically scrolling and pressing F.

Here's a mod that attaches a flashlight to your pistol. Offered by File Planet though... :(

I got the game, too, and I love it! I really am not in awe when it comes to graphics (I wasn't all jumpy about FF8 or FFX when they came out in terms of graphics), but with DOOM 3, I was in awe, even on the lowest settings! John Carmack is a true genius!

But, sadly, because of the low settings, which goes to show how well it runs on my computer, it kept crashing more and more and I had to stop playing. :( I made it to Level 4.

I like the addition of the flashlight, and I do find the game to be really creepy and suspenseful. But also predictable at times, so I wasn't too scared, since I basically expected a couple monsters per room.

But it sure got creepy when there were no monsters in a room! O_o
