I loved the sound and design of the monsters and environment.
Everything else was mediocre though.
Was literally about to make this thread.
I started replaying it again last night. Such a great fucking game that does world building better than most other games. The PDF audiologs, emails, all the UAC corporate videos playing in the background, fucking immaculate sound design and boner inducing weapon sound effects, fun and satisfying gun play. I could go on. It's not spooky anymore like it was for me in middleschool but playing it with a "im not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" mindset is super fun and makes the whole thing almost comical.
Fuck the "fixed" flashlight mechanics in BFG though. I liked to nonsensical and wonky flashlight mechanic in the original.
If you want improved visuals with all vanilla gameplay I recommend DOOM 3 Redux. God tier mod.
Is that a mod?
DOOM 3 is one of the worst FPS out there. Consider suicide if you unironically enjoy it.
Yes, it's the screenshots I've been posting. It's drag and drop install also.
Back when pretty much anything involving a viral outbreak or demonic possession definitely had to have a detachable jaw.
To be fair it's a pretty creepy and great piece of imagery.
It is pretty damn good. Shame about pistol, shotgun, "minigun".
>just marathoned trough half of BFG last night
Well fuck. I guess I could start over. I definitely kind of missed how much fucking ammo they gave you in the original (not that they dont in BFG as well but not as much).
2004 - Doom 3 is an average game with great graphics.
2020 - Doom 3 is an average game.
>Name a gun from any vidya with more satisfying reload sound effects.
You literally cannot
When bump mapping was all the rage so everything looked like it was carved from a brick of cheese.
>not that they dont in BFG as well but not as much
???
One of the major complaints of BFG is they give you far more ammo, this is well documented.
Maybe but I'd say it has stood up to the test of time much better than most games because of the things it does right. The atmosphere and world building in this game is top tier even in 2020.
>2004 - Doom 3 is a great game with great graphics.
>2020 - Doom 3 is a great game with great shadows
marine; you are going again a direct order? turn back IMMEDIATLY
Fix the shotgun and enemy AI and I'd be cool with it.
It's true. For all of D3's many, many failings, the sound design for the firearms is WAY up there among the best.
Best thing about Doom 3 was the main theme
Except the shotgun and assault rifle. Terrible default noises. Redux fixes the shotgun sound though, uses the original sound but just gives it more punch.
Ah I'm just autistic then. I remember having a ridiculous amount of ammo last time i played through the game in like fucking high school when it came out. That was probably just because I was anxiously conserving it. I offhandedly read somewhere that they adjusted ammo counts in BFG so I assumed that meant they reduced it.
>how the fuck did they get away with ripping off Tool that hard?
I agree though. It's amazing.
Nah they like doubled the amount of ammo you get in BFG. They tried making it more in line with classic and 2016 doom making it more action packed when the rest of the game is not built towards it. They also brightened up a ton of the areas and lessened the oppressive atmosphere.
And yet it's still easy as fuck on Veteran. Should I be playing on impossible?
never had any problem with the ammo's in doom 3 ( played on nightmare) because fucking chainsaw and headshot
but since i played the alpha leak first and didn't knew they changed that i manually destroyed every bodies with the lamp thinking that they would respawn
> i manually destroyed every bodies with the lamp thinking that they would respawn
Ha I did the same thing back when the game first came out too. What a waste of time.
Nah DOOM 3 isn't that hard. There are a few areas really late in the game that can be punishing but once you get the flow of combat down it's like any doom game where you're untouchable. Also there's still plenty of ammo in the vanilla DOOM 3 as long as you look for it. Pretty sure in BFG they didn't only add more ammo drops they also increased the ammo you get for each pickup by like .5% or something.
DOOM 3 is way better than the soulless DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal, zoomers will disagree.
Meant 50%
My brain is melted from being awake for like 2 days now.
Doom 3's nightmare mode reduces your health by 5 every 5 seconds until it reaches 25. It also doubles enemy damage from Veteran so you'll get one to two hit by a lot of enemies. It's pretty savescummy and tedious, less so when you get the soul cube and you can just heal through the pain.
Veteran really is probably the best setting.
well it was an intended mechanic at first but they had to take it out because at the time it the computers where not powerfull enough to handle so much zombies; i felt dumb when i read about that AFTER finishing the game
but also found out a mod restauring the function
ps: ductape mod is for fucking pussies, real men fight in the dark
I have literally played every Doom game the day it came out, including the original. I enjoyed Doom 2016 more than 3.
i was honestly refusing to play 2016 at first because "no carmac" but then i tried it and fucking enjoyed it; exept the "nightmare oneshot from imp or bullet sponge shields" bullshit and the retarded 100% kill conditions (if you fight too fast aka, you're too good, you won't get full rating) it's a fun game
So every single body was supposed to reanimate?
Of course you did, zoomer. DOOM 2016 is a soulless shell of the series, DOOM 3 is loaded with so much more soul in every faucet of its design while DOOM 2016 is filled with shitty cutscenes to scream "WOW LOOK HOW EDGY AND BADASS DOOMGUY IS" so zoomers like you can enjoy it.
Fuck off.
For some reason, this game still terrifies me.
In fact, all Doom games make me feel uneasy, even Doom 1, 2 and 2016.
No idea why, it doesn't happen to me with other games, even with horror ones.
You aren't impressing anyone. Stop posting on Yas Forums and pay attention to class.
only zombies would reanimate after a short time if you didn't gib them; demons & soldiers stayed dead, fucking yellow fatass caugh me off guard in the leaked alpha, first time in my life i jumped of my chair
Based on that unbelievably asinine response you're the only zoomer around here.
Doom 3 had the most realistic/horror version of the “portal to hell” storyline. Especially once you get to the later levels the atmosphere gets really good. Like a Clive Barker/Resident Evil vibe. Playing Doom 3 always made me wish for a proper Doom movie that utilized its style. It would be absolutely kino.
Ironically its always the fat zombies that get the drop on you in this game.
>spaz opinions
no thanks
MAKING PROGRESS, MARINE?
HMMM HMMM HMMM HMMM
YOU WILL DIE
AND YOUR SOUL WILL BE MINE
AH HA HA HA HA HA
The shotgun, pistol and assault rifle has some of the worst sound fx to date.
Agreed. The opening levels are probably some of the best SHTF moments in any video game. They pulled off Mars quickly descending into chaos flawlessly.
h-here's ur supporting character for the expansion bro
i can still hear the scream from the berserk power up
also i'm sad they ditched the dog introduction from the alpha where you saw them from a miror first
Use more meme words and maybe you'll convince someone
Only reason you faggots praise doom 3 now is because nu-doom is popular and doom 3 isnt.
Doom 3 was my first doom game and i liked horror elements and using cursor as a mouse on control panels. But i still won believe any of you if you tell me you actually liked Doom 3 when it came out.
>Not hard-nips-through-shit-Rosamund Pike.
I'll fucking pass
First time I played the game and started using the pistol after the hell portal opened I thought they had fucked up the game. Luckily it recovered once I got the shotgun.
id seems to be amazing at creating terrible starting weapons like the Quake 2 blaster
v is not one person. And most of the time it’s bandwagoners like you that make the loudest and most retarded opinions. I liked Doom 3 when it came out and liked DOOM 2016 when it came out and am looking forward to DOOM Eternal. Not everyone is the same.
I did. It was the scariest shit I ever experienced back in 8th grade. I can't tell you how disappointed I am that it's no longer spooky as an adult. I still think its a really cool and unique game and I'm still having fun playing through it again. Probably just for nostalgic reasons though.
Yep.
pistols have always been joke weapons in doom games, that's why you had chainsaws and shotgun almost immedialtly,
pistol is only good for headshoting zombies and flying fucking heads without wasting ammo
>You're going to have to hold still, moving around just makes the test take longer
>It actually doesn't
try to read what the guard is actually typing
Yas Forums is a fucking hivemind of contrarians who unironically post shit like OLD GOOD NEW BAD. Not everyone is the same when you point out their bullshittery and even then they might just say that you have shit taste.
I was around the same age, i think. Shit is creepy, dim light in toilets and creepy shit happening to people who are not aware. First enemy "zombie" and shit. Wish i could replay it with same feelings, but horror games dont really scare me anymore, only jumpscares, but they are cheap trick.
