Literally the "Dark Souls" of First Person Shooters.

it was crap and many people didn't know any better.

>>387016246
>>hidden ambushes that you had know way of knowing were there for your first playthrough
the whole game is ambushes, its reach a new area and WAM demons! oh boy!

Doom 3's guns suck dick

>>387016716
Guns are super satisfying just with a sound mod.

Only thing I hate about the guns are the default sounds, notably the pistol, shotgun and SMG (or assault rifle?).

>>387016849
The shotgun has terrible spread.

>>387016246
That sounds like Dark Souls 2 that you're describing though

>>387016873
It's high spread but powerful, I think it's satisfying getting up close and blasting enemies away in one or two shots.

All the guns are very well animated.

>>387016716
Hey man, the plasma rifle was extremely satisfying. The rest weren't that great though.

I believe Unreal is a better candidate for this.

>>387016246
Your opinion is shit and it was a bad game.

Just installed Redux mod which only improves visuals and sound and I've been having a fucking blast revisiting this game the past few days.

Been playing through all the DOOM games and am doing this one last and loving it.

>>387017236
>your opinion was shit
Yet everything in the OP is 100% accurate

>>387017320
everything still looks like the game was made with 5 colors :P

>game on a dark and gloomy base looks dark and gloomy

Who would have thought.

>>387016246
no. i mean i see your logic but DOOM3 was neved memed about being git gud level hard.

>>387016246
as a casual bitch, all I remember about DOOM 3 was the cool lighting, the monsters were stale from the get go, the shooting was pretty generic, but it played fine and looked great.

>>387017665
Were talking gameplay here, not memes and industry perception

>>387016246
are you having a laugh?

I like Doom 3. It's kind of annoying with the enemy spawns but I still found it entertaining, I replay it every year or so.

>>387016483
I literally don't know why people say that. Pretty much everyone loved it, so I don't know what can make people legitimately hate it in retrospect besides some retarded elitism that goes well on places like /v/.

I mean, shooting demons is fun, the game pulled off as much of a scary atmosphere as it could, level design was good, engine is great, etc, etc - what in all that makes the game bad?

The levels look cool if you're into sci-fi horror, and the light effects are neat. Guns feel weak, but the trade off is that fights with monsters last longer which makes you have a little "dance" with them as you try to dodge damage vs just immediately taking them down before they can finish their attack animations.

As someone who likes those Halloween mazes full of horror scenes and spooky actors that sneak up on you, I really enjoy that Doom 3 is a vidya version of that. It's good for that, I just didn't appreciate it at first because it's not a true Doom game.

>>387022274
This pretty much

Doom 3 is a good game, but not a good Doom game, though it do enjoy the environments, lighting, tech, monster designs, and attempts at lore it throws to the player, it lacks the rush and gun feel of doom, but it stands on its own when not compared to its older brothers, or younger brother

Its a good game, it has good spooks and monsters and fun to play.

>>387016246
Try playing the VR mod for the BFG edition, and you'll know vidya PTSD.

>>387024234
>VR mod for the BFG edition

I can only imagine how fucking terrifying it would be, tell me, how was your playthrough of it, like how fucking spooky did it get?

This thread needs a theme.

Worse game

Doom 1 at Nightmare is the shit.

If you can't1cc that shit GTFO

>>387016246
Are you saying this game was hard? Because jesus christ this was the most boring shit I've played in a long time. I played it when it came out, had fun because I was a dumb kid. Played it again, didn't remember anything about it, everything was so predictable and they repeated it throughout the whole game. Imps spawning in, just run up and one shot them with the shotty. Repeat for 10 hours. As for spooks, the only one I can remember that actually got me was when you look in the bathroom mirror near the beginning.

>>387016246
Doom 3 is one of the easiest shooters that exists. Although I admit it's underrated and very tense all the way through.

>>387024290
I haven't finished it yet, I'm like slightly over a 3rd or so in. Call me a pussy, but I usually can't play it longer than 20-30 minutes because I find it too nerve-racking in VR. ...and I never had a problem with playing Doom 3 at release.

>>387025356
So like what is it like?

I know you old the guns in your hands and whatnot, but like, how is the shooting and PDAing and all that?

Also whats it like being attacked by a creature in your face with the full visuals, im really curious.

>>387016849
>SMG (or assault rifle?).
Machinegun. Stop trying to bring needless realism into it, the game calls it a machinegun, so it's the machinegun.

>>387017459
>:P
I wish summer was over already

>>387025557
You got the flashlight in your left hand and the guns in the right hand, guns have a laser pointer so aiming is really easy.
I really like the chainsaw's vibrations effect on the Vive controller.
I still got an early version installed where the PDA is just a menu you open, afaik newer versions have the PDA also attached to your hand.
Being attacked probably isn't the worst thing, it's being INSIDE the game, in 3D, with the spooky background noises, and enemies jumping you left and right.

>>387016849
I hate all the sounds except the plasma, specifically the reload.

>Stop trying to bring needless realism into it

But he wasn't, he just didn't remember what is was called, calm down anon, its not like he made a paragraph post about how the game would be better with realism.

>>387025767
Makes sense, must make the spooky moments in the game 100 times worse since you feel like its happening right infront of you.

What was the worst scare that got to you while playing?

Also, are these VR builds community made or official, might considering giving it a try

worse so than cry of fear? i felt like that was the dark souls of FPS

Git gud, the game is a walk in the park. Even in the original where you have to switch to get light.

>>387016246
I just beat DOOM on nightmare and my anus is really sore, this game was not easy at all. Credits rolling while my noodles are fried.

>>387025767
Sounds awesome, it's a shame the official project got canned.
I have a PSVR, but Doom 3 on PC probably won't work properly even if I use that one software that lets you use PSVR as a false vive/rift.

>>387016246
>Playing on the veteran difficulty
I just can't. I start to legitimately rage (which I basically never do) and have to fight to stop myself from punching shit around me. I can't play any more then like less than half an hour a sitting.

>someone at id thought that spread is acceptable

>>387026506
just completed it, and seriously, fuck Egypt chapter and fuck any other game that makes you run around blindly looking for hidden switches behind fake walls, you push and have to guess what they do and where.
Hexen used to tell you what switches do, if it's not on same map, and Quake II at least can common fucking decency to tell you what you're looking for if it wasn't exit to next map in hub.

>>387016716
some suck some are good
>>387028638
I kind of like that you need to shove the shotgun down an imps throat before firing it kind of suits the super close quarters levels

>>387028638
in a kind. It was obvious balancing for very tight maps. And small, tight maps were must, because otherwise graphics would choke most of computers these days. If it had Doom 4 spread, it would likely never ran out of range, so they would have to nerf damage to uselessness

Lots of shitty design choices was made because graphix whoring had priority over gameplay.

>>387016246
>Prove me wrong.

It was "hard" and "scary" because the gameplay was bad. In fact it was quite like oldschool horror games on consoles. You were scared to face enemies because you couldn't even move properly to fight or avoid them.

> enemies spawning right next to you or behind you
> constantly stuck on everything in cramped areas or small corridors when you try to avoid projectiles
> scripts that are almost QTE like the demon waiting behind a door that will hit you as soon as you open it
> near unplayable amount of shaky cam when hit
> can see shit or can't shoot with your better guns in an FPS.
> everything was slow even switching weapons

It was a bad Doom game and a bad FPS.

>>387026051
They are community mods (only working with BFG edition since that has 3d support already and the source code released. But they are better than 90% of "indie dev's first trash wave shooter VR".
And I dunno man, getting swarmed by the spider heads was pretty bad.
>>387028257
No idea, the VR mod itself works very well, but I don't know about that PSVR software.
