Doom 3 sucks

Doom 3 (retail version) really sucks:

1. Too dark, it's all like a big closet with lights turned out.
2. Many places aren't just dark but BLACK, even with Gamma/Brightness up all the way.
3. No MAP feature! Easy to get lost.
4. Low texture quality even at High setting
5. Just nothing special.
6. L-o-a-d t-i-m-e-s are unbelievable l-o-n-g!
7. No armies of monsters. More of a one-on-one combat than you-vs-armies-of-darkness. Where are my 200 Imps!
8. Levels are similar and generic except for some occasional interesting machinery.
9. Monsters melt down unrealistically when killed instead of staying.
10. No advanced video/sound controls. Missing: shadow quality and light halos, dynamic lighting, music, ambient volumes, etc.
11. More of a 3d showcase than a game (I am John Carmack, bow to my 4d photorealistic shadows).
12. IT'S NOT DOOM 2


I enjoyed Doom 1, 2, and Half Life more than this game.. I am not really "drawn" into it. Kinda like Matrix Revolutions, you know? 😉

P.S. 2.66 GHz, 512 MB, Radeon 9800 Pro. ~ 40 fps at 800x600 all max settings (no FSAA or Aniso, though).
 
OMG, either your computer sucks amazingly hard, or you do.

Or maybe both...

I, for one, find it freakin' awesome. 😀
 
I agree with you on many of those points.

Except for the load times. Mine arent bad at all.

Edit: after thinking about it, this game does scare me poo-less, but I look forward to the mods and games that come out based on this engine.
 
1. part of the mood
2. use flashlight
3. not too complicated
4. looks good to me
5. ?
6. try farcry?
7. dont need an army to make the game good, play serious sam if you like
8. anything but generic
9. yes, cuz the rest of the game is based on reality
10. ok
11. ok
 
1. Flashlight
2. Flashlight
3. It's pretty straightfoward...
4. meh
5. I agree theres nothing innovating about the game but it kicks ass (prodctuion/atmosphere)
6. have you load far cry? battledfield vietnam?
7. yeah they mention this countless times in interviews/previews
8. your in space ports... meh
9. yeah they disintergrate oh well

10. No advanced video/sound controls. I want to: adjust shadow quality, halos around lights, dynamic lighting, music vs. ambient volumes, etc.

1. Turn out your lights, pussy. The game is MEANT to be in the dark.
2. See above.
3. It's not John Carmack's fault you suck at navigation.
4. Your graphics card / display settings suck.
5. You're retarded.
6. Your HD is fragmented from all that midget pr0n.
7. Turn up the difficulty setting, you pansy.
8. There's editing tools. If you're so good, get to work.
9. Turn up corpse time.
10. Console is your friend.
11. \give doom95

Man, you asked for it. There may be a few in here that agree with you, but John Carmack is to geeks what Jesus is to Christians. The important thing here is, almost EVERY geek worships at his temple, whereas I haven't gone to church (other than the obligatory Easter and Christmas) in years!
 
Really? I've been playing it on a 33" monitor from my couch in 5.1 surround in a dark room, and the game is amazing. It runs sliky smooth for me at 800x600, high, all advanced settings yes, AA on. (p4c 2.4@3.2, 1GB, 9800 Pro) It's not entirely like the first two, but then again I wasn't expecting that. It's creepy, it's sci fi, and it looks damn good on my setup.
 
Meh. I agreee with the OP. I'm not really drawn into it. Good graphics and all. Plays nice on my 64-bit 3200+ with my 9700Pro. 1280x1024 Medium. I just think it was overhyped. I'm actually more pissed that there is no co-op mode for PC but there is going to be for Xbox. LAME!
 
This is another reason that I'm very happy for purchasing my Xbox 😀 I'M SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
