Doom 3

    Quote from FrieChamp

    or has anyone checked out the arcade game (in the cafeteria at the beginning) "Super Turkey Puncher 2000" or whatever it was called? That was cool too

    I played that for like 10 minutes

    i don't recall seeing any shooter games with stupid jokes like that recently. i liked it, too. it warmed my heart for the old doom.

    Im so tired of people whining about the flashlight, I think its totally kickass, adds alot of atmosphere to the game even though it might not be very intelligent if you take a logical view on it.

    But anyway, as a game design decision then I think it rocks and really makes this game alot more scary than it would be when you got a flashlighted gun.

    Imagine how unexciting the game would be if you had nightvision o_O

    But I guess its okay if you want to eliminate all scary aspects of the game ;G

    /me stops whining

    I agree with mazy. I've told myself I wish I could hold the gun & flashlight, but only because I'm a big vagina. It would ruin the fun and fear to have it out, not have to switch to a gun and run. Although it would be neat to have playing through doom a second time... I'm still working on the first.

    I tell ya what would be better, maybe even scary ( i don't find it scary as it is )

    less enemies, with higher health

    at the moment, it's walk into a room, shoot enemy, wait for one to teleport in, shoot, next room

    Lovin' D3 on my ubershit PC, runs ok actually and hasn't failed to scare the crap outa me even in super ugly settings (or whatever D3 thought was best for my spec)

    ID has delivered, but I was expecting a slightly more epic feel for a game this big, but I suppose that will come later.

    I LOVE the in game computer screens and whatnot, and the way that the whole game, out of game menus, loading screens, PDA and action all fit together so nicely, really creates a nice atmosphere.

    Do not play after a night at the pub at 3am with earphones on in the dark

    Thats the only time I play

    I tend to enjoy the game alot more when I play in a completely dark room wiff headphones~

    Ill wait for demo. After that i might buy the whole game. (if it runs well enough on my computer.)

    Is the demo even coming soon

    I think they must be doing one soon, since many people will be in the same situation, not knowing how well it will run or whether it's worth the cash.

    Anyway I've got some screens of D3 running on my XP2000+, 512Mb DDR, GeForceTi 200 64mb. (I know) Runs perfectly playable on medium with all of the advanced options turn on except for vsync. 800x600.

    Annoying thing is, I can't run any better, even with numerous tweaks, than 800x600 Medium detail on my R9600XT, gig of DDR and Athlon 2600+ rig. All I want to do is make the jump to 1024x768, but it drops into the 20s during heavy firefights, and I can't live with that.

    Surely the drop shouldn't be that harsh? Apart from HUD size change you could always compensate with lots of FAA running at 800x600

    The game runs fine on my computer when Im just strolling around, mebbe taking out 1 baddie at a time, but drops to like 10 fps sometimes during big firefights

    Was really annoying in the start but Ive gotten used to it D:

    800x600 and 1024x768 are worlds apart where Doom 3 is concerned, the texture fidelity difference alone stuns the retina.
