Gelgoog Pilot Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hmmm I'm an old school doomer...just happened apon it while playing Duke Nukem heh. I played it on the PC (doom 3 I mean) I'm actually happy for it...after playing console games my skills at PC FPS really just disappeared. Plus...I'd rather not go on that quest to find the right pc that can handle Doom 3 just right. *will laugh if Xbox can hardly handle it* I'll prolly rent it..I have yet to beat it but oh well...Not exactly feeling the need to beat it...

Semjaza Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Well, there is a thread in the PC section, you're probably best off looking that up. Honestly, I felt the game got boring rather quickly. The technical "wow" wears off pretty quickly (I still think everything looks really rubbery) and you're left with a pretty average game. I wasn't expecting something that was full of exploration and puzzles, I expected a new Doom-style game where you basically just run around killing things. You do get that, but for whatever reason it just didn't hold my interest. It's not bad, it's just not great. Maybe that PC expansion pack will be more interesting. I'd have even less interest in the Xbox version. Poorer graphics and no keyboard/mouse don't sound like something that would win me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamuro Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I've been looking forward to this game, but that doesn't really say much, I was looking forward to Halo 2, and that was basically a let down, hopefully this one will be better, I'm definitely a fan of the Doom series though, so even if it wasn't all that great, I'd probably buy it anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyandar Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I played a demo of Doom 3 for my pc. I got a cd with a magazine and the demo was on there. I had my lights out and surround sound up at about midnight. It was me and my friend. I was playing it and there was soo much stuff that was so....SUDDEN! For instance, I was walking through this dark corridor and I saw some ammo on the ground. I looked ahead of me but all I saw was blackness(Its a Dark game, adds the crapping your pants effect=P) so I picked up the ammo. As Soon as I picked up the ammo, the blackness in front of me wasn't blackness anymore. I saw this figure suddenly jump out of the shadows and it started screaming or screeching. It scared the pee out of me! Really....I think I dribbled a bit...=Pj/k. I think Doom III will be agreat game. I'm hoping to get that game for Xbox as soon as it comes out. I also want some other games too though.... So much with so little money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsara Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I am really looking forward to this game. I cannot wait to finally be able to play it. I was a big fan of the past Doom games so needless to say I am pumped for this. I never got to play it for the PC due to the fact that I have a less than stellar PC. Running Doom 3 would have been out of the question. But yeah, only a fews away from finally getting my hands on it. Should be a gory good time!

If the game comes out on a PC I always get the PC version instead of the console version. I mean game consoles are nice but they just can't compete with a computer. Take Tomb Raider for Playstation. Great game, but the graphics on the computer are way better. :animesmil That's great that it's coming out on Xbox, the requirements to play Doom on the computer are a bit high so an older computer would have problems playing it. As for being scared. Well, although it's dark it didn't creep me out, but my brother quit playing it as it was a tad to gross for his tastes.

Charles Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 [quote name='Generic NPC #3']I'd have even less interest in the Xbox version. Poorer graphics and no keyboard/mouse don't sound like something that would win me over.[/quote] I haven't gotten it yet, but supposedly the graphics hold up extremely well. Of course they can't stand up to a high-end PC, but they're supposedly impressive enough to the point where you're not missing anything. Because the majority of the game's environments are shrouded in darkness, I don't think that lower resolution textures would be a huge problem. Otherwise, the added co-op mode sounds really cool and it's good that they've trimmed down a lot of the boring areas from the PC version and moved some characters around. Are these changes enough to validate the stale gameplay? Probably not, but if the various impressions I've read are any indication of the game's overall quality, then I'd say that it's actually better than the PC version overall.

Semjaza Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Yeah, I had since read about the other changes. Honestly, I hadn't kept up much on them since I already had the PC version. For what it is, it does look decent. My PC can handle more, but it still seems to be one of the better looking Xbox games (even if I still think everything looks rubbery). The co-op thing is awesome and probably would be enough to make me buy the game. Co-op in even the original PC Doom is amazingly fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelgoog Pilot Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I'll probably get it jsut because of the things I've read aobut it,the fact that I can't play it on my current pc...AND because its a classic...although a drowl and repeditive classic at that... There is actually another old school game coming out for the Xbxo soon, that would be the old arcade game Area 51 Im sure most of you can recall the ornge and purple aliens running around along with the half decayed and mutated personel. I've read a lot of good things about it and I've played a demo....its pretty tight...much better than the old one, so they've done alot of changes unlike most of the game play of doom 3... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Not to get off-topic, but I've been looking forward to the new Area 51 for months. I can't wait for it to come out, although I'll probably get the PC version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
