DOOM 3

I finally completed a full game, 22 years after i played it for the first time... Doom 3 is a mix bag experience. If you cut the whole middle part of the game - i would say that the game is good. But... for ~9 hours of total playtime - it's just doesn't work. There isn't enough to show for, for such a long single player story. Absoultely most time of the gameplay - is that you running in the same looking corridors of this damn Mars base, and shooting Imps throwing fireballs at you. That's pretty much what it is, there is nothing more. No pacing, no good puzzles, no cool cutscenes, no variety. Hell, even the music sucks - there is nothing to remember (expect of the famous main theme - which plays in the main menu right away). The beginning of the game was good, because of the set-pieces and variety... but it lasts for 30 mins. Then - it's just a corridor after corridor, and in EVERY room you encounter spawning monsters (good luck listening to a SINGLE audio sample for teleportation effect). That was the reason i never actually completed it back in 2004, it pales in comparsion with other hits from this year. Especially with the main rival - Half Life 2, which was on a completely different level in terms of game pacing and variety. Pros: Visually - game still holds up, pitch black shadows makes it's thing. Game can still be scary for some people, but mostly because of the jump-scares or just really fast moving enemes (hello to "opening the door > imp jumps in your face" for more than ~50 times during the story). Opening of the game/ending is still pretty captivating and enjoyable. My score: 5.5/10

Take the engines of either Half-Life or Halo and make Doom in them. that's Doom 3. Game really takes itself seriously and plays into the whole eldritch horror of what a demonic invasion would be, even has some jump scares, but once you get used to the setting its back to good ole run n' gun of the Dooms of Yore. You also get Doom 1 & 2 in this which is nice.

Doom 3 BFG edition is the updated version of Doom 3 and the Resurrection of Evil expansion pack, along with the bonus Lost Mission episode. This game also includes bonus ports of Doom 1 and 2 playable at the start of the game. You get base Doom 3, 2 expansions and both classic Doom games for 10 bucks, Amazing value. Doom 3 is an amazing horror game that was released all the way back in 2004. The main takeaway from this game is that it is dark. And that's a good thing. Doom 3 helped pave the way for volumetric lighting in 3d games. Not only is it dark, it is also panic inducing and claustrophobic. This game has a ton more atmosphere over the classic games, and not everyone appreciates that. Doom 3 creates tension and it has a constant feeling of fighting to survive. It doesn't have the massive enemy fights from the classic games but has a distinct style that still feels very Doom. Resurrection of Evil is good and introduces a neat power up system different from the Soul Cube you get in the base game. Lost Mission is also good bur a tad short. Both also contain the Super Shotgun. Games downsides; the shotgun is not the best video game shotgun. It also isn't the worst. It's main problem is the crazy spread. That is also somehow inconsistent. It does good damage, but you really have to be right in the enemies face to actually kill them in one hit. Second downside is armor system is nearly useless. You will constantly be maxed out on armor because it barely absorbs any damage. It mitigates the damage so little I actually have a hard time understanding how it made it into the game. Last downside that is barely a downside. The game is dark and you have a dinky little flashlight, that is battery powered EVEN THOUGH ITS THE FUTURE AND YOU LIVE ON A SPACE BASE ON MARS AND THEY ARE WORKING ON TELEPORTATION TECHNOLOGY AND HAVE CONSTANT ROLLING BLACKOUTS ON THE SURFACE OF MARS AND YOU STILL HAVE BATTERY OPERATED FLASHLIGHTS FOR SOME REASON? Also for some reason BFG edition messes with ammo pickups and gives you way more than in the original. Takes away a bit of the tension, because in classic you would have much less rocket ammo and chain-gun belts. My favorite part of this game are the hell sections. It has such a distinct, visceral style during these sections and they are so distressing. I also adore the BFG style. It may be my favorite in the series. As for the classic games, it's Doom 1 and 2. Both great and they come free with your purchase. Doom 3 BFG edition is a great version of one of my favorite games from 20 years ago. Well worth it for the price and I cannot recommend this amazing game enough. 10/10

Used to work, recently started crashing before the window even opens. Can't figure out how to get the game running no matter what I do.

3 дум очень своеобразная игра, тем не менее, я считаю он заслуживает палец вверх, на фоне многих современных игр, это очень крутая игра

TL;DR : Good game, very different however from the rest of the series. Just played through both the original Doom 3 and the BFG edition. Both are great games. They are slower and more tactile than the rest of the series, more of a horror theme, also has a Half-Life feel to it. I used the shotgun the most, it is very effective at point blank range, however if you are not in their face choose another weapon as it has a wide spread. Differences I noticed between the 2 are. Original- Flashlight can not be used with weapons, can however be used as a weapon, with zombies 2 hits does the trick. BFG edition- Flashlight can be used while using weapons. (can't be used as weapon) Original- Shotgun is slightly more powerful. BFG edition- less enemies, more health stations, health/armour, weapon, and ammo pickups. BFG edition- can move around a little faster than the original, but still not as fast as the rest of the series.
