Has there been a lot of it?
Adrian Baker

most people don't even point out the true problems

It's too monotonous and uneventful for its own good.

I was there back in the day when it was released. It gets hate for the following reasons:
* It's not Half-Life 2. Love it or hate it, Half-Life 2 "won" the FPS war between D3 & HL2. Your mileage may vary but mainly it was because all of the HL2 fanbois couldn't stop cumming over the Gravity Gun.
* Lack of flashlight. D3 decided to go with a poorly-received gameplay mechanic where you had to either switch between a flashlight or your weapon. Everyone hated it & the expansion pack all but removed it. The mechanic was supposed to heighten the suspense and fear for the player but it didn't work.
* D3 wasn't "twitch gameplay." Doom 1 & 2 were known for their fast-paced gameplay. D3 took a different direction in that it was more horror & story oriented. Fanbois hated that and still hate that to this day.
* Finally... Gravity Gun. Seriously, people just would not stop cumming over this when it first debuted. Not only did they cum over it but they then spat at D3 when the D3 developers revealed that they had a similar device that they used to make the rooms feel "ruined" but didn't put it into the game as it wasn't a part of the game mechanics. A lot of people thought that this was dipping into HL2's territory and was encroaching upon their success. There were mods that quickly found the mechanic (I remember playing the early mods) and then it got put into the expansion pack but it was too little, too late.
I don't hate D3; I'm just continually amused by the groupthink hatred that extends to it after all of these years over such childish reasons.

It's a Yas Forums only thing really.

I played it and beat it on the original Xbox. I really liked it. The complaint when it came out was that the enemies are stationed in one spot so if you die to something you resplendent and no exactly what to do. I really liked it.
Charles Walker
It felt more like a Dead Space 0 than Doom 3
Landon Foster
the game felt way too slow
Zachary Sullivan
The game's flaws are far bigger than that. Even if you remove the context of its release by ignoring HL2 entirely it still has way too many flaws to be considered anything but an ok title.

Im pretty far in my first playthrough rn and my only gripes with it are the puzzles like why have them in a doom game ,reloading takes for ever and that 80% of the time you open a door some fuck is ready ro jump out at you itd be fine if it were once every 2 or 3 levels but no it happens at least 3 times per level

I liked it but flashlight problem aside, it was a bit too slow and easy. It also wasn't scary or "atmospheric" enough to be a good horror FPS. Also some of the gun sounds were kinda shit. And fuck hunting for PDAs for codes. But despite all that I still enjoyed it and it was easy to mod so I had lots of fun with it.
Connor Brown
Because nu-v hates doom eternal and start shitposting about 3 thinking that is a good game.
Luke Thomas
People usually complain that it's not as fast paced as DOOM and focuses too much on being a horror game than an action game. Also some of the guns are really shitty like the shotgun and chaingun.
William Johnson
It's actually pretty solid despite having some shit moments but not good enough to be a real Doom imo
Gabriel Cruz
I wish DOOM3 had mod that plays like doom 1 and 2

Twitch was barely a thing when this game got release

Oh, do educate us. Please elaborate on all of D3's flaws. Spare no expense.

System Shock 2, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Silent Hill are games that I actually enjoyed.
The 3 times I have given Doom 3 a chance I went with an open mind an tried to appreciate it as a horror experience. It also fails in that regard since it has no sense of pacing and almost no variety.
The game is too long for it's own good but the mechanics and types of enemy encounters aren't interesting enough to feel fresh for that long.
Even the horror elements are incredibly underwhelming. Satanic voices and pentagrams appearing out of nowhere just to have fucking imps appear yet again is as dull as you get in terms of horror, and this keeps happening even pretty late into the game when far more dangerous enemies have been introduced.
Landon Green
Not "twitch" as in the Internet service, "twitch" as in the actual fucking word itself. It was a word before some Internet company used it for it's company.
You knew that, right?
Right?

Literally one of the best part of the game. Shitters like you installed the flashlight mod as soon as it came out.
Leo Young
I bet you it's the Civvie video. People were talking about D3's shotgun for days after that shit.
