Doom 3: Review

Well guys by now you should have a copy (legit or not). Whats your thoughts on it.

I thought the game was going to be a little more taxing on my machine due to the review by Hardcore OC, but it runs fine. Seems be an issue with the ATI Omega Drivers when you a AFx16 AAx4 turned on, little black dots appear everywhere. And the Doom 3 based AF seems to not work with the Res 1280 x 1024. A few bugs to sort out yet.

If you check out the MP section, you see ppl are hosting games of 10 - 4 ppl???? Whats the go with that?

As far a gameplay goes, i thought it was pretty damn good. I turned out the lights cranked the speakers and away i went. Great Sound, Graphics are good(Not excellent though) and my 'Baron of Hell Pewter' Figurine is one to keep.

I give it a 7/10.

My copy is turning up today, i'll let ya know.

Send me your Baron of Hell Beefy. I'm sure he'll feel right at home amidst my skull collection ;)

Sure.. for the low low price of $81.55 (that's what I paid for the game :) )

EDIT: quick update. Installed game at lunch, played through first part of level 800x600, no AA/AF. Ran ok on my system (2700+ / 1GB DDR400 / 9700 Pro AIW), until it crashed. Decided I should update video drivers from 3.9 to 4.7. Haven't tried since. Got a free upgrade happening later this week (3000+ and other stuff) so we'll see if that helps.

graphics are pretty...
gameplay is well... too easy? not very exciting..
far cry is better.
runs at about 60fps on my system. sometimes goes down to 20 in certain high detailed areas.
its no where near as good as i hoped.

what detail you runnin?

well atm. just on 1024x786 medium. with everything on.. no aa or af though. will do more tests.

edit:
just did the same.. but with AA and AF at full in windows. 60fps. but a bit more jumpy when accessing the pda and opening doors. and other various things

I'm running 1280 x 1024 on high and it runs great. When i go to Ultra it runs ok but it jumps a little after a level load or when alot evil dudes pop up from the ceiling or the floor.

You guys seen the MP yet? HAve you seen the Servers with 10ppl in it?

Just tried 1024 x 768, runs fine. Gonna do some tweaking and see how it goes.

I heard someone mention the 10player servers.. haven't looked yet.

yeah also some mod for 32 players :S
also a co op mod.

single player maps can have 2 player co op

custom co op maps can have 4

Single player feels like a jazzed up quake 2!
Meh! but maybe I am being too harsh.

There's not a lot of substance to it.. SomethingAwful said it right when they said D3 uses the latest 'CSS' technology.. Cant See Shit. :) The game is very dark, and they rely on things jumping out at you for atmospheric effect. And it works quite well, but after a while it's the same old stuff, over and over.. Still fun though, and great playing with headphones on ;)

I just looked and I got a Mancubus figurine.. :)

you can have mine for the mere price of you soul..... or 20 bucks...lol

all i can say is SHIT!. scared the fuck out of me when i was playing it! only quickly played it and i'm begging for more, i love it! when i cbfed i'll write up a proper review

however, i'm REALLY hanging out for my new system next week/tomorrow (AMD64 3200+, 1GB Ram, Nvidia 6800 Ultra (2 weeks) :) )

Nice system coming there delta..

I must say, it was great to start, but there's nothing much new after a while. You slowly get introduced to new guns and monsters, but it's all the same. :( Still a fine game, and when the mods come out it'll be great, but I've already put it on the play later list... Back to playing FF7 :)

ive just reached those bastards that shoot heat seeking rockets and trash ur health.. bitches.. its still boring though.

Back to playing FF7 :)

final fantacy? isn't it to like, 12 now?

On the PS2 i think it is.

In Doom3 i'm up to Hell, man it's fck'd, they take all your shit, so all i've got is a shotty and a Chain Gun.... so far.

Back to playing FF7 :)

final fantacy? isn't it to like, 12 now?
12 is being worked on at the moment. PS2 has X, X-2 and XI (XI is on PC as well)... PSX has VII, VIII and IX. PC has VII and VIII... I just like VII better than the rest of em. :)

yeah... what beefy said.

ive only ever played 7 lol

I just saw someone playing through doom 3 on nightmare, just before i had to walk home, zombies, everywhere.

I pity da fool who don't know where da zombies are. Huh!
