DevilDoc said:The "monster in the closet BS" you're referring to is part of the game's roots. If you ever played Doom or Doom2, you'd remember walking down a corrridor with one or two imps or grunts to keep you occupied, until you hit a hidden switch then monsters spawn in, or walls drop, and you have to fight your ass off to stay alive. That was what made the original game so much heart pounding fun. The element of surprise.

Or they suck at FPS and are newbs and lose everytime and get so frusterated from dying that they quit.Badger_sly said:Either the whiners didn't like the game for the hardware requriements, or they were scared and won't admit it.
Badger_sly said:No, Doom3 is not a bad game, it's fun as hell. If you would enjoy being terrified and panicked while playing a game with the lights out and sound up loud, then you would love Doom3.

I forget, but download the demo, play 5 minutes of the game, then just repeat that 100times. You will have the full Doom 3 experience since there is nothing new throughout the entire game.

Few people whine/complain about Doom3, but those that do in this forum, whine/complain again and again and again, like a scratched record. So the few seem like more individuals, which is what they are trying to do. Either the whiners didn't like the game for the hardware requriements, or they were scared and won't admit it.
Overall, only you can be the real judge. Filter out the bitching of a few, give it a try, and see if you enjoy it like the majority.

Spare us the soap box routine. I'm going to venture a guess that I've been playing FPS since before you knew what a computer was. FPS games bore me these days and I took Doom for what it was and relatively enjoyed it. FWIW I think Halo is horribly overrated pile of garbage and I didn't enjoy it one bit. Does that make it a bad game? No. See that's the great thing about opinions, they don't mean jack shit. The fact is that Doom was a very highly anticipated game that millions of people enjoyed. Unfortunately there are nerds on the internet who take gaming WAY to seriously and feel the need to trash threads like this which were never intended as places for geeks to vent their pent up frustrations from a full day of getting stuffed into lockers. Maybe I'm wrong but I was under the impression that this forum was intended to post about deals, not for people to cry about video games.hikeskool said:Please, when you play FPS like I do, and you have a reasonable sense of logic and lack the ability to be entirely wowed by "shaders", "antisotrpic filtering" and other shiny things, in-game or otherwise, it's very easy to recognize a good shooter from just another Halo and Doom clone.
hikeskool said:doom 3 can essentially be boiled down to what previous id games are: an engine with a game thrown in there.

You can begin by taking your comments elsewhere. You don't like the game, we get it already, take your comments to the gaming forum where they belong.hikeskool said:Where to begin...
Obviously to other games since that is what this comparison is about. You should have been able to put that together, this exchange is in English.You enjoyed Doom 3, relatively. Relative to what?
That's absolutely hilarious considering that you're doing the same thing to Doom. I have news for you, people don't share your opinions, it doesn't make anybody right or wrong.Your defamation of Halo really only supports my (correct) argument that it's extremely simple to make a FPS that will sell very well yet is, by modern standards shared by people who can actually recognize good games (see my above semi-list), a complete and utter insult. Thanks for the support.
Judging by the sales records Doom 3 set I'd say ID did more than learn a thing or twoYou're right, Doom was very highly anticipated. I figured "hey, Half-Life and other games have been out for some time, maybe this time id learned a thing or two about making games". Yeah, we all know how that turned out.
"Todd Hollenshead"Millions of people." Come on. Find me some sales figures of Doom 3 in the millions.
Nice, because they like something that you don't they are automatically dubbed as idiots whose opinions don't matter"Millions" may have enjoyed it, but these are the same "millions" who thought Dude, Where's My Car deserved an Oscar. These peoples' opinions of games are immediately made null.
Strike a nerve?I'm going to go ahead and skip the whole "nerd" fiasco
Then give your opinion and move on. Like I said, there's a gaming subforum that's tailor made for your childish game bashing.As for the whole purpose of this thread, it is, in my history, the purpose of forums to exchange useful information with others.
I thought the same thing when I opened this thread looking for a good deal on a game and saw your comments. Ironic.I'm really trying to find what, if anything, there is in your post that is of any use to anyone whatsoever. Let me know if you find anything.

We've recently received word that DOOM 3 has already sold over 1 million copies at retail! A huge "Thank You!" to all of the fans out there who have purchased a copy of the game."

We're still going because you're having a hard time understanding that people are allowed to have different opinions than yours.hikeskool said:We're still going, I don't know why, but we are.
Good music and good games are games that entertain people and what entertains people varies from user to user.This person clearly doesn't have a grip on what good music is. The same is true with gaming.
It has nothing to do with being a "well-versed gamer" and everything to do with personal preferences.If you can seriously tell me doom is as good as those other games I mentioned after playing the demo, you're not a well-versed gamer.
ID is a business out to make money and they've made millions. When I want suggestions on what games sell I'll listen to the multimillion dollar company that's been in business for decades over some bitter little kid on the internet.You know what, id learned more than they had to. id learned that they can make a substandard game and make money off of it. That's all they needed to learn. Never mind the rash of clearly better games being released around it.
I'll tell you what they were doing, they were making a game to generate revenue and the game was an absolute hit both with gamers and in their bank accounts. You can overanalyze Doom all you want to justify why you think it's a terrible game but the fact of the matter is that Doom sold millions of copies and made the company millions of dollars. If the game were as bad as you say it is then it wouldn't have lept off the shelves the way it did. End of story.I don't really know if id actually tried to make a good game or if they were just fucking around with a graphics engine and decided to throw some imps in there for good measure. I'm honestly not sure what they were doing.
That's ok, we all understand that you're arrogant and thick headed, no need to apologize for it.I'll apologize.
Neither does anybody else....yet millions of gamers clamored over it. That tells me that the majority of gamers don't share your opinion.I don't play shitty games.
I didn't know being a geek was a prerequisite to browsing the internet.First and foremost, I'm a little curious why someone who is not a "nerd" is on Hard fucking OCP.
Good for you. Would you like a cookie?Let's see: I get good grades, I study alot, I like to help people with their computer problems, I enjoy golf, tennis, long distance biking, parties (with alcohol and women), etc.
Yup, you cited examples of why YOU don't think Doom is a good game.......yet it was a blockbuster. Good games sell copies and entertain people and Doom exceeded all expectations in that regard.Once again, I have cited examples as to why doom is not a good game and should not be bought by anyone.
There are dozens of games that I find more entertaining than Doom...what's your point? There will always be a game that knocks my all time favorite off the list but that doesn't mean that my old favorite is now a terrible game because something better came along.Once again, I have cited a product that is a better replacement for doom.
There's not much to shed. Games are meant to entertain people and it entertained me therefore I think it is a good game and for $12.99 I think it's worth at least checking out.Once again, you have done little to shed any productive light as to the value of this game, why it's so good, etc.
Not at all, in fact, I hated the original doom.You like the game so much almost entirely because it's an id product and it's "the next doom".
I enjoyed playing it therefore the expansion is worthy of purchase.You really havn't provided any other reason as to why the game is so good and worthy of purchase.
Thank you captain obvious. I did in fact say that.You proclaim, quite staunchly, might I add, that "Doom 3 has been and always will be a game about monsters jumping out of dark places. All of these jack offs who didn't like it should have known that before they loaded the game."
It's not our fault that you're an idiot and expected to make a different game and slap the Doom title on it. What did you expect? ID to make a NASCAR game and name it Doom? Don't be bitter because you couldn't figure out what everybody else did.See, I didn't know that. I assumed that maybe in the ten years or so that have passed since the original came out, id would possibly look around and see what other games have accomplished and slighlty alter their plans for doom to better fit the more advanced age of gaming we live in.
I agree, the dark rooms got old really quick...........that's why everyone who didn't like that downloaded the flashlight mod. Problem solved.and braving the dangers of the lack of a flashlight on your weapon

You know what's a terrible game? Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I mean the graphics were terrible, AI was predictable, game play was the same in every stage, the music sucked, the background was the same on every level and it was a remake of another game to boot. Oh the horror
