Its an id title so i'm looking forward to it - since it will most likely feature tech 5 and hence open spaces and more prolly hordes of demons.

I'm more intrested in rage but this is a nice surprise - and no i wont mind if it will be nothing mindboggling gameplaywise. - its an id game afterall :P
 
Can anyone believe I've never played ANY of the Doom games from 1 to 3? Guess it's time to give it a try, at least Doom 3... good preparation for the 4th :mrgreen:

What's the overall rating for each of the Doom games, by the way?

I loaded up DoomI and II once... The first screen gave me a flashback that took me through all those years playing the games and suddenly... I did not have the urge to play anymore.... -THATS just how much I played DoomI&II.
 
DAMN YOU! I read your posts and I suddenly felt the need to play the first game again.

Doom 3 is a solid shooter. Not very revolutionary or anything but its fun and intense. I bought it used for like 15 bucks and it was worth every penny.

Yeah, its a pretty fun shooter in its own rights, nothing like some of the more story heavy shooters but not every game has to tell a story of political intrigue or epic proportions.

Even the expansion was okay, though they could have added some more weapons and a better ending.
 
I wonder how much of the game consists of staring at a black screen listening to things shuffle around in the dark thinking "Gee I sure hope I find that flashlight...".

Well, if it's anything like the third one, that'll only last 15 minutes, then you have a flashlight the whole game. Which of course leads you to think, "WTF can't I find a damn roll of duct tape and just tape this blasted thing to my shotgun!?" for the r-e-s-t o-f t-h-e g-a-m-e.
 
You know I have most of Doom 1-2 imprinted on my head and know them like I would know my own house, sadly that goes to WoW to.

But yes one of the weak points of Doom 3 was the lack of shoulder flashlight.
 
the quakes were ok,

doom 1 was good
quake 1 was good
doom 2 was good
quake 2 sucked
never played quake 3
doom 3 sucked
quake 4 was meh, first act was good, act 2 and 3 sucked.
 
Doom 3 was great at creating a scary atmosphere (until you realized that every slightly sunken wall panel held a zombie, and most of the ammo/armor pickups would spawn enemies behind you).


I really doubt Doom 4 is going to be as revolutionary (graphically) for the series as 3 was... which is what all of the hype was based around, and what made it such a success.

I suprisingly found that duct tape, it's hidden in one of the containers that is labelled "mods", the passcode is "extract to Doom 3 folder".

:lol:

Flashlight mod definitely made the game more enjoyable.
 
Sounds good, I quite liked Doom 3. It wasn't anything special but it was a solid shooter.
 
ductape+flashlight mod is pretty much required unless you like getting frustrated to death.

seriously, a tiny Fenix L2D gives 130 lumen for 2.5 hours and scales down to 9 lumen for 55 hours. that's 2 AA penlite batteries. let alone a huge Maglite 4D wannabe light from Doom.

ductape it to the gun already if you dont have a headlight or a shoulder light!
