A very monotonous game that pits you against basicallly the same 3-4 encounters over and over again for 6 and a half hours.

4 hours in, you have seen it all. so many times that it's just unbelivably predictable. You that that in imp is going to try and claw you in the face the moment you open that door. You that another is going to spawn behind you in that hallway. You know, because that's what happened the last fifty times you were in an area like this.

If you go into it expecting a watered down System Shock 2 with slightly better combat, you might enjoy it.

If you go in expecting Doom? Trash.

Play nu-Doom and Eternal, and then play Doom 3. The difference in pacing and gameplay is enormous. You go from falling from skyscrapers without any repercussions, to taking high damage from a 5ft fall. From running at superhuman speeds without tiring to walking like an old grandpa and getting tired every 5 seconds. From punching holes on cyberdemons with your fists to losing fistfights to lowly zombies.

DOOM 3 isnt so much a game as a satire of the FPS genre. the gameplay consists of walking through endless identical metal corridors, shooting a small variety of identical enemies, talking to identical NPCs (who all happen to be some derivation of a bald guy with green eyes or a half asian dude in a yellow jump suit with a Wally Cleaver hairdo), listening to some faggot on a radio tell you where to go next while you happen upon "audio logs" filled with meaningless purile dialogue that serve as a weak attempt to fill in backstory, and occasionally you'll be tasked with doing random dumb unfun shit like picking up toxic waste barrels with a claw machine like you're a fucking waste management technician. add to this the game's notoriously shit weapons, B movie monster closet jump scares (if you can even call a dead Howie Mandell lurching at you from around a corner "scary"), retarded enemy designs such as a flying bald woman's head with pirhana teeth, a fucking sprint meter, a flashlight that you had to toggle because the Xbox version couldn't handle gunfire and dynamic lighting at the same time so they gimped both versions (because, big surprise, DOOM 3 is a console shooter and a bad one at that), reddit-tier references and in-jokes like the heckin' wacky turkey puncher arcade machine, and of course, the "plot" which is akin to an especially bad vin diesel movie and -- despite a 5min+ long unskippable intro sequence and multiple cutscenes -- somehow manages to be less enthralling than the original game's story which barely existed at all. DOOM 3 is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made.

This is like a /v/ analsysis of every game coming out now yet it's still completely accurate for Doom 3. It's like overt cynycism like this is intentionally missing the point of the entire medium.

I think it makes more sense when you realise it was Carmack jacking off over muh shadow volumes and literally everything else occupied about 0.00001% of the time he spent thinking about Doom 3.

It very clearly and openly took inspiration from both. The general structure of the game is 100% Half Life while things like the audio logs and general background storytelling mechanics were very System Shock. They don't even pretend to hide the inspirations there.

>You can't see clearly you see a tiny spot illuminated by your shitty little flashlight.
You missed the point of my post, try again. It’s a scary game where vision is a resource. You exchange survivability for vision. You use audio cues and glowing enemy bits to determine where to shoot. Illuminating things you were intended to illuminate while also having the ability to defend yourself totally defeats what they were intending to do with this game. You really think Carmack wasn’t told by someone during development to have a flashlight active with the gun at the same time? Halo: CE prominently had this feature and it predated Doom by 2+ years. They clearly intended what I’m laying out but Carmack was too chad to make a game for brainless normies like you. Go play a different game.

Also the game still sort of sucks because enemies spawn behind you all the time. The point remains that the flashlight was a design decision that went over your empty head.

Yeah anon, i am sure that IGN reviewers have made this mod and made it the most downloaded one themselves, all in a devilish plot to undermine Doom 3's stellar design.

Enemies in Doom 1&2 seldom literally spawn behind you like they do in Doom 3. In situations where they did, it was usually a secret room of some kind where that occurrence was seldom and correlated with the risk/reward of going off the beaten path. Doom 3 has enemies spawn directly behind you in nearly a third of every room you enter and you instinctively develop a ritual habit of doing a 180 flick every time you enter a room you haven’t been before because an enemy is bound to spawn in the same familiar doorway you just entered.

I could draw graphs level by level to demonstrate this but I think it’s easier if you just play Doom 3.

FEAR is objectively a better version of what Doom 3 attempted to do on every level.

Bioshock is more story driven but atmosphere was a focal point of Doom 3 and was also done better here.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay also manages an atmospheric spooky FPS with some guns blazing action and is more enjoyable than Doom 3 in nearly every way.

Doom 2016 and Eternal obviously don’t care much for atmosphere but do the standard loop of Doom1&2 gameplay justice unlike Doom 3.

There, that’s more than three examples for you, but all you needed to realize how irrelevant of a game Doom 3 is is the fact that Doom 1&2 WADs are still played to this day in spite of Doom 3 being a giant leap forward in tech. Seriously consider how bad of a game you have to make in order for that to happen.

The Armacham building had a "fair" amount of variety: office spaces, labs, restrooms, lobby, one-person offices, conference rooms, a part of it was still under construction too. Then you had the rooftops, the elevator section, security offices, the sewer system (or whatever that was)... it's not the most varied stuff in the world and other games had much more interesting settings, but Doom3 is far worse: a random hallway full of pipes, a storage area, few seconds on Mars, some acid pits, more hallways full of pipes, more storage full of crates, more acid pits... but then came the hellish stuff. The early sections of hell were really nice and when they started inserting gore and flesh inside the station, that looked really cool. But overall... eh... Maybe FEAR could get away with it because the pacing was better or because you were more concerned with the enemies than you were with the environment? IDK.

DOOM 3 isnt so much a game as a satire of the FPS genre. the gameplay consists of walking through endless identical metal corridors, shooting a small variety of identical enemies, talking to identical NPCs (who all happen to be some derivation of a bald guy with green eyes or a half asian dude in a yellow jump suit with a Wally Cleaver hairdo), listening to some faggot on a radio tell you where to go next while you happen upon "audio logs" filled with meaningless purile dialogue that serve as a weak attempt to fill in backstory, and occasionally you'll be tasked with doing random dumb unfun shit like picking up toxic waste barrels with a claw machine like you're a fucking waste management technician. add to this the game's notoriously shit weapons, B movie monster closet jump scares (if you can even call a dead Howie Mandell lurching at you from around a corner "scary"), retarded enemy designs such as a flying bald woman's head with pirhana teeth, a fucking sprint meter, a flashlight that you had to toggle because the Xbox version couldn't handle gunfire and dynamic lighting at the same time so they gimped both versions (because, big surprise, DOOM 3 is a console shooter and a bad one at that), reddit-tier references and in-jokes like the heckin' wacky turkey puncher arcade machine, and of course, the "plot" which is akin to an especially bad vin diesel movie and -- despite a 5min+ long unskippable intro sequence and multiple cutscenes -- somehow manages to be less enthralling than the original game's story which barely existed at all. DOOM 3 is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made.

Overall my favourite theme in Doom is hell slowly consuming man-made architecture, and in case of 3 that idea reaches it's peak in ROE's Delta Labs. The place literally shifts between two dimensions each 10 seconds or so. Still makes me nervous.

I have said this time and time again

Depending on how you looked at the original game, you may or may not enjoy it.

All these faggots that keep saying "bUt iSnT DeUm" never played the PSX "port" nor Doom 64 and have understand that horror is also a concept that works and is used in the Doom franchise, in fact even the original game had some scary moments for its time.

If we talk from a technical perspective, the game is fine at best, but think of it as more of a glorified demo than something worth praising and replaying. It's just fine, but the atmosphere really manages to capture that early 2000's gaming feeling while keeping some familiarity that doesn't make the game feel too alien when compared to its predecessor.

I wonder if I was kind of jaded by the time I played Doom 3 as a teen. I think that the game has some pretty nice horror themes going, just atmospherically and thematically, but I never found Doom 3 to be all that scary overall, the first hour or so I'm going through it paranoid, waiting for the next jumpscare, but the game essentially inoculates me to it.

Instead of dreading the scares, or even getting scared at all, I just come to expect them all the time, even predicting them, and they feel just kind of trite, sometimes even a little annoying.
I don't think Doom 3 is a bad game, in fact I like it and I think it's pretty damn decent, and I would really miss it if it was somehow gone, but there's things I think it doesn't actually do that well, and which could really have been a lot better.
