I'm not too bothered about it... a game is only a game, yet a lot of people are getting excited to a scary degree about the impending release of the title.... i'll buy it once 99% of people playing it say its friggin awesome, i'm not just gonna throw £40 away on anything.

I think i got most general opinions covered there, if not, please tell me your thoughts... cheers.

Well, its the third doom game, so we might as well capitalise on the lack of original ideas by celebrating it ourselves!

I cant wait any longer. There is an awesome post here by someone that already beat the game. No spoilers, go take a look at it. Makes me want the game even more, and I think we are all in for one hell of a ride

"I dont care". The game doesnt really appeal to me...

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
:wq!

Yeah, big deal. I'm tired of mindless shoot'em-ups. Shoot'em-ups are fine, just... add something more to it to stimulate the noodle.

Do you have stairs in your house?

Yes
In fact I get it tomorrow.

I will not be buying it not because I don't like FPS, my computer can't handle it, or don't have enough money, but because I'm a chicken****. I can't even finish Far Cry.

God Pagewizard, I hope you didnt (or dont) actually download a pirated version

I just posted a picture, I never once said that I downloaded it. Besides, if i did, did oyu think i would even mention it here?


A -2 day release is tempting, though.

I know, thats why I said "or dont".

It just really pisses me off that this game has been availible to a very few people for less than a week, and it is already pirated. And from my knowledge, was supposed to be unpiratable(is that a word ), or pretty damn near it.

I wish my mom had consulted me before buying the computer she eventually gave to me. Stupid integrated laptop video card.

Hell, members of the big release groups work for the game companies, so things get ripped off before they hit the store shelves.

Btw, nothing is unpirateable. Everything can be cracked. Even steam will be compromised sooner or later. Its inevitable.

Same here. I also find it interesting that the "I don't care's" are winning so far.

Doom 3 is gonna be absolutely awesome. I've been feeling that sickness of excitement ever since I first heard it had gone gold. I am, I'll admit, obsessed with it to an unhealthy degree. Of course, I only have been waiting for more than four years, now that it's finally hear it's nothing short of unreal. Everything I've heard indicates that Doom 3 will be a deeper, more immersive game than any before.

------------------
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

Not excited at all. Comp can't handle it.

Have a good one,

i was excited when my comp couldn't handle it... now i'm EXTREMELY excited since i'm getting it practically for free thank to a mail in rebate from signing up for broadband...

There is no signature

I thought it was Linux native?

PS. If any of you linux gurus want to help me out, I've been having extreme difficulties getting my Powercolor Radeon 9600 PRO to run. I'd appreciate some assistance. mike19@gmail.com

The linux client will be avalibile for download via id ftp a few days after the release.

------------------
Your humble opinion is wrong.

What makes you think it's mindless? The reviews certainly don't indicate that.

I'm going to get it once my new CPU, mobo, and RAM arrive and are set up. I'll be in for graphical goodiness

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Eh. Looks cool, but I'm in no particular hurry. I may pick it up some other time. Wait to hear all the sides of the story.

Banks and banks of humming machinery! I've never seen so many knobs. We're going to have to do something, Charlie! Try pushing that button there. No? How about that one? No, not that one either. I know! I'll try pushing this one. Hold my hat will you? Good fellow.

As far as the game goes, I can't really say whether it lives up to the hype or not. I wasn't really looking forward to it, but I was interested in seeing how the next-gen FPS war would turn out.

But I'm slightly dissatisfied with the performance.

My specs:
Barton 2500+
512 MB PC3200
9600 PRO

I run it at 800x600 at medium detail. It does look great, the effects are cool, but it is occasionally sputters (still playable), and the jaggies are AWFUL. I'm going to try running it at 1024x760 with low detail, it might be preferable... The graphics in UT2k4 are nowhere near as realistic, but everything seems more smooth and polished. The one thing that is incredibly impressive is the shadowing. It seems overdone, but the effect is truly superb, like nothing I've ever seen before. (except in the STALKER videos.)

I'm running it at 1024x768 medium detail, and it looks/runs excellent. And that's on my GeForce 4 Ti4200.

It's like they took the best of System Shock 2, mixed it with the best of Doom 2, stuck it in the most advanced graphics engine with the best game artwork ever created, but somehow - somehow - managed to forget about the gameplay.

Yeah, it's a cool game. It has a nice atmosphere that really draws you in.

Unfortunately, at the same time, it's frustrating and horrible. In their attempts to create a realistic and compelling underground facility they managed to create an entire game where absolutely every level and room looks virtually identical. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem, but in Doom 3 everything is very very dark and what little lighting there is tends to sway to and fro. If you manage to choke back the bile and fight off the omnipresent threat of epileptic seizures you'll begin to realize how fortunate you are that you rarely have to venture into a gigantic plastic labyrinth in the real world.

But no, don't let my comment above deter you from playing this game. Clearly, since this is a forum for the Jedi Knight series, at least some of us must enjoy Raven's patented level design techniques of "hidden passageways", "billions of unopenable doors" and "poor lighting". In fact, you may enjoy the game even more - since the lighting is all dynamic, you never know when all of the lights are randomly going to flick off and 50 imps are going to spawn. But don't worry, there's always the cheap flashlight you can spend a couple of seconds switching out for your weapon so you can see the target. It's not like the time it takes to switch to a flashlight and back is roughly 300% of the time it takes for an imp to spawn, close to your position and rape you to death.

I really want to see what happens in the end of the game. I want to see the storyline, I want to see the cutscenes, but I just don't want to have to slog through any more headache-inducing mechanical nightmares with disco lighting. And I'm only in Alpha level 3.
