    Doom 3

    I bought it back in ,I guess, 2004 since that what the save games say, but I decided to fire it up because I recently upgraded my video card (still a blah card, but better than what I had) and I wanted to see if I could squeeze more juice out of it.

    Sadly, I don't know because I can't remember what it looked like 3 years ago! ha.

    I started a new game and the game still creeps me out as much as I remember. Damn zombies crawling out of the corners and the cutscenes of when you encounter a new type of demon give me the creeps. A bit dark, but the creepy aura is well done.

    Am I just a p***y who is afraid of the dark?

    No, the game can be creepy, especially as it's so dark and you have to switch to use the flashlight.

    But it stops being creepy as soon as you realise it's just using exactly the same mechanic to scare you. Over. And. Over. Again.

    For a really atmospheric game dig out the old classic System Shock 2 (I think it's free). Now there's a game that can set you on edge for hours after playing it.

      DOOM 3 and HL2 are both pretty bad, one-trick-pony games.

        There's nothing creepy in Doom 3, you can always guess when and where the enemies will attack, nothing surprising really

        I never finished the game, got too linear too fast. It's always the same, no matter where you go you always end up thinking "didn't I see this room 5 minutes ago?"
        This space is empty... or is it?

          I guess that's one vote for p***y.

            maybe I need a bigger monitor, I just didn't get that effect.

            I stopped playing shortly after getting to the second major area. fps just don't hold my attention.

              To be honest, I never finished it either, but it was more due to the fact that I got tired of the incredibly dark "flashlight crawls".

              I'll see how far I get this go around before the flashlight turns me off again. The darkness is needed, but it's a bit too dark. Although that helps the creep factor too when you swing your light around and it beams a zombie right in his rotting melon.

              I still think it's creepy and has good creepy atmosphere.

              I will say that the sound is what makes it creepy more than anything else. With the surround sound going, the moans, whispers etc.. creep me out.

                I prefer Doom original over Doom 3. I love open yet contained environments with unique characteristics. The first dozen or so levels of Doom are burned into my memory. Even now I remember desperate moments when I was low on health, nearly out of ammo, with a cacodemon or two bearing down upon me. At least Halo delivers in that respect.

                Doom 3 is more of a rail shooter I think. Like one of those light-gun games at your local arcade.

                  There is something to be said for walking through a door into a large chamber covered in pentagrams and skulls full of a hundred odd deamons, pulling out your chain gun and going to town.



                  Doom 3 is all onsies and twosies. Just not the same game.

                  Doom and Doom II

                  Also one of the first games to leave the corpses behind so you could admire your handywork after the fact. Anyone remember that awesome/gross sound when you blew up a barrel and splattered an enemy?

                    I still like Doom3, but I just had my memory refreshed from re playing it.

                    Although I don't think it's any more gimmicky than the previous Doom games, the one mechanic that I guess you guys are referring to is the following:

                    You're walking down the corridor half lit, all of a sudden the lights go out, you hear moans and when you turn around a demon is heading for you. Over and over.

                    That is very creepy at first, but I guess it becomes repetitive. Although even though I know that's the core gimmick in the game I still jump every time it happens.

                    And I still love the little cutscenes when a new demon shows himself.

                        It's better that way. Especially since no game company can possibly do anything perfectly.

                            Yeah, you're right. Doom 3 sucks.
