It is real subtle. A real Looking Glass touch o' class moment.
Hey that rhymes!

the cool thing was, the review score was 96, exactly the same score they gave Freespace 2..  

New tagline;

"Doom 3 - officially as good as Freespace !"

[Setekh]

That'll attract the gamers.

Saw some new posters for D3 at my local EB. The Doom Marine looks kind of... more... lame.

Every gamer who likes a good story and a good immersive experience should try out SS2. Especially now that it's got some model and texture upgrades out that really spiff up the graphics.

I agree with Lonestar. I never understood what makes people like these kind of games. It's almost a game for the weak minded (no offense) that despise the fact that certain games actually require you to think.

Sure, one or two games is fun but after that it's nothing but the same over and over again.The atmosphere might be nice but that just doesn't cut it in a game for me. Nor does nice graphics. If a game doesn't have a decent story, it sucks IMO. And FPS games most definately don't have decent stories. It's "Your on this team, kill the other team" or "Kill everything in sight". No matter how nice the package is.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. But to me it'll always be a brainless, uninteresting game.

I love when people pass judgment on games that haven't even been released yet...

I didn't pass judgement on Doom III in particular. Where did you see me say that in that post? hmmm? Really, think before you post something equally lame as your las post.

But seriously, do you really really really think that this will be ANYTHING different from the other releases only with nicer graphics and a bit more atmosphere?

But at least you need to THINK in this game. that makes it fun. FPS games = SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT! KILL KILL KILL!

[ZylonBane]

Right. So football, baseball, rugby, darts, bowling, etc. all suck then?

It was gentle ribbing, chill out Like I say, I'll wait and see, I don't play id games for story though, I play to be awed at what games will be looking like in a year or two's time. Also, Doom3 has more than just a little atmosphere going by the alpha, it positively scared the **** outta me when I played it, and that is why I am buying this game. By all accounts too the story, though straightforward, is supposed to be very tightly written.

I just want to play it badly.

Also, it seems (hopefully) that FPS are moving away from straight out blast em ups with the advances in game engines, Far Cry for example is more than just a run and gun, in fact, that's probably the quickest way of getting blown to crap in the game.

Football -> Tactics
Baseball -> Tactics
Rugby -> Tactics
Darts -> Math (Yes you need math )
Bowling -> Well, this sport does suck

You need at least half a brain to ply these games. You need to be able to think and not shoot everything in sight like a mindless moron with a gun. Besides, this is my opinion so I really don't give a f*ck what you think. If you like it, it's your choice. I just don't like brainless games. Period.

 Ow, and what is it lately on HLP. Everytime anyone has an opinion some rabid fanbois or fundies come running at you. I said in my first post that it was MY OPINION.

[Cyker]

Aww, gimme a hug!

No not you you drooling zombie! AIIE!! *BLAM BLAM*

*phew*

I think Half-Life 2 will be better 'tho
But Doom 3 will definitely be bloody scary.

Spoken like someone who hasn't played an FPS since Wolfenstein 3D.

[DragonClaw]

If it makes me shat my pants like AvP2 did as Marine in the first few levels I played, than I'll be sufficiently happy.

[Taristin]

I haven't been scared by a game since Resident Evil 2 came out for N64.

I'd like to see a game scare me again.

[Ryx]

PCG Swe gave it 90%

[ZylonBane]

But does it still not have a "Use" button?

[Lonestar]

I agree with Tiara. No Story, Or crappy story makes for a suckie game. Call of Duty was a good story, for an FPS game. Veyr exhilirating Single player experience. If you want a close encounter of WW2 in europe get this game!

Same for Medal Of Honor. Quite interesting how your missions turn out sometimes. Its not as glamorous as COD tho.

Im not saying Doom 3 will suck, only that if its just mindless killing it will get very uninteresting very quickly.

Oh another game i like, is Neverwinter Nights, HOTU, man that game was fun. Just beat it last nite as a wizard/PaleMaster!
