Pssst! This is a forum.

So what are we supposed to do? There is no point to this thread.

I can't blame you for not knowing where you left off. It is hard to remember which metallic hallway you died in.

Oh no, generic Doom3 joke.

I know the feeling. I just lost an hour's worth of progress in System Shock 2. And that's a slow game.

That happened to my pokemon red when I first got it, when it first came out.


And it wouldn't hold saves after that. So I took it apart, and taped a new battery to the inside of it.. AND IT WORKED.

I liked Doom 3... when it ran well. The level design in that game is totally awesome, though. Brilliant level designers.

Well, I played Chrono Trigger with my SNES emulator a lot. Then I had to format my HD after annoying troubles, and forgot to backup the savegame. Tough luck.

I thought doom3 was totally lame anyway. It's like a neverending hallwaycrawl. I completely disagree with whoever said it had good level design, it's just crap.
2006-11-26, 1:57 PM #17
DOOM 3 was awful. DOOM 2 kicked some ***.

I enjoyed DooM 3 myself. Only good for one playthough, though.

I shouldn't play in the dark. :(

The trick is, there isn't a trick.

You'll know when one of the freak out or attempt to scare you rooms is coming up if you've played enough survival horror.

The thing is, I didn't play it for the horror part. I played it because it was a generally enjoyable game. Not the best, but it was pretty fun.

I thought the fighting parts were pretty lame too. :(

It was easy to evade almost everything.

Except for the pinky demons, which seemed to be designed to hurt you.

i played it and enjoyed it because IT'S FREAKIN DOOM

doom never scared me... never expected doom 3 to... i just want to be like OMG ZOMBIES then make the zombies go OH [fecal matter]... BFG

I thought the weapons looked pretty cool. The only thing I didn't like about the game was that the outdoor areas were a little TOO chaotic at some points, and the lost souls looked stupid.

I never finished it. Too scary for my blood... I don't enjoy the survival horror genre. Ravenholm is bad enough for me.

For the real old school Doom fealing it lacked the numbers of monsters. There just weren't enough.

The level design in itself was splendid. The problem is just that they stuck to one theme too closely, which got boring after a while.

"Freak you out or attempt to scare you rooms."

Hahah, yeah. I'm still working through FEAR and it's the same thing. Although it could have something to do with the way I've reasoned the whole thing out thus far- I just assume Fettel is trying to scare me, so that just leaves ninja and increasingly more powerful robots to be afraid of. (Or whatever the hell those things are.) Oh, and if this assumption is wrong, don't any of you dare correct me.
2006-11-28, 10:26 AM #32
FEAR is actually pretty scarey, unlike Doom. But like doom the maps do start to get repetative.
2006-11-28, 10:46 AM #33
I'd rate it higher on the creepy scale, but it doesn't fare so well on the scary scale. I agree with the repetitiveness thing- but so far, they've done well with giving me a setting chage each time things start to get a bit tiresome.

The level design in terms of aesthetics was nice, the level design in terms of layouts and flow of gameplay was not. It was like Brian said, a long hallwaycrawl. A decent game should balance between more open areas and more restricted. Between more well lit and dimmer areas as well.
2006-11-28, 11:23 AM #35
FEAR was entirely too obvious when the scary moments would happen, and they separated them from the action sequences, I knew when they would happen, and I'd just stare at the screen until the next firefight came up.

I just beat FEAR on Sunday evening. Man that game was fun, but I feel that you spend too much time in the office building. I only got creeped out by the game if I was playing it late at night mostly, and I was more "Dubya Tee Eff?" whenever the memory sequences came about.
I had a blog. It sucked.
2006-11-28, 1:02 PM #37
I think lots of you are girly men!

I never saw why Doom 3 was considered scary. I played it at night in the dark like recommended, and I was not scared once. Most of those 'scary' moments were so predictable

However, if you have played Eternal Darkness for GC, the bathtub scene...now that made me jump...
2006-11-28, 1:10 PM #38
Eh, the bathtub scene was scary the first time I saw it.

On the Shining. (It's really not like it was a unique concept.)

Then they would all be the same and we wouldn't have Doom to pick on

I've had my saved games dissapear on Elite Force before for no apparent reason.

On a tangent, everytime I see this thread's subject title line, I keep thinking of Slippy from Starfox 64 going "Oh nooooooooo!!!"
