This is the best DOOM

carmack should have put them on pc

RoE is such a weird experience. You are so disgustingly broken by the time you get your second upgrade it completely trivializes 2/3rds of the game. But at the same time this leads to an overall faster pacing and the shotgun doesn't suck and the final boss is at least decent. I genuinely don't know if I like that expansion or not

Based. Full mod support, innovative, more serious than the others.

It's not Doom.

oh no don't say that because then it will have to be judged by the standards of a systemshock ripoff.

this guy gets it
doom 3 vr is probably the best vr game atm

for some reason i remember the second half being much better
absolutelly loved the Hell design of the last level as well

Not my favorite Doom game but it’s pretty good. I think the expansions were awesome too

it had flaws but nobody understand the actual flaws

Well, elaborate then

First levels has cool dialogues and sound design when you can hear people chat behind the walls, second became closer to classic doom with lots of demons

I like it a lot, but more as its own thing rather than a proper doom game.

what did he mean by this

the archeology sections were amazing

It's not Resurrection of Evil.

As someone who was in line waiting to pick it up on release day, you're out of your fucking mind and clearly a zoomer who's either between the ages of 18 and 22, or just blatantly unaware of just how popular Doom 3 was, since it out-sold both Doom 1 and Doom 2.

When this game was first revealed at E3 back in 2001, no one believed it was real. Id was accused of showing a prerendered tech demo and was demanded to prove it was really the game. It was far ahead of anything of the time, graphically speaking. A demo came with the Doom collection bundle released in 2003, which kept people's hopes really high. After all, it was a 5 year hiatus since Id's last release (Quake 3 in 1999).
Then the game actually came out, and... despite delivering the promised in regard to graphics (for those with high-end PCs, that is), gameplay-wise, it was a different story. Slow, clunky and with it's "scary" elements restricted to jump scares by teleporting monsters or monster closets, weapons sucked and the game looked like a weird crossover of Half-Life and System Shock 2 in the dark. It paled in comparison with it's contemporaries Half Life 2 and Far Cry, which looked just as impressive and played much better, while running on toasters, something that was out of the question with Doom 3.
Looking back, graphics were and continue to be Doom 3's greatest asset, the textures and lighting still look very impressive even today (character and weapon models show their age, however). It's also the very last game Id made as an independent developer, Bethesda would absorb them a few years later.

That's not eternal though

This is a very, very, very, unpopular opinion of the game at the time.

Generally, people were
-Excited
-Happy
-Thought it was revolutionary
-Commented on the sucky shotgun and the flashlight mechanic but everything else was virtually praised by gamers and the media
-The story was considered a HEAVY upgrade to usual Doom-fare
-The horror was well done, but people said it "wasn't THAT scary"

Doom 3 would've been the biggest game of 2004 even more-so than RE4, had Half Life 2 not been released.
