could you please offer a few sentences about the gameplay/funfactor? a simple, it's really fun. not exactly what i expected because of [x reason] and also [x observation] was pretty cool would be great. |

its a good article in regards to how Doom came out and about and it also says that it will eventually be coming out in theatres where the Rock will be set on the starring role. sorta psyched - i hope they dont screw it up like all those other vg movies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yes, Shope. that is a good question. again. we know the visuals are stunning, the sounds make you shit your pants, but what about the gameplay and the story? more important, if you ask me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The story is your usual crap. It all seems a bit half life my mate said. The gameplay is good so far though. Fucking hard but then I did have to put it on the setting under Nightmare didn't i! |

Hhee, forget the torrents, I got this on http motherfuckers. |

heh the bittorrent on suprnova had like 50,000K people downloading it last i saw (and 1 seeder, haha). never seen figures that high, ever. |

giginger, keep in mind, half life is sorta a rip off from original doom. so all you HL- fanboys need tostop with that nonsense ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is true but it seems to have moved away from the Doom style of gameplay is what I mean. Still a great big shit load of fun anyway. |

The crazy part is that there is an "ultimate" graphics setting that machines aren't even ready for yet and won't be able to support until the next generation of graphics cards come out. Well that's bollocks because I ran it on that last night. Only thing is slowed down were some of the doors opening. |

i'm hoping i can run this on medium @ 800x600. :fingersxrossed: my measly 9600pro is the only limiting factor. i thought about doing a really minimal linux install, and seeing if it ran better without the overhead of windows, but i'm too lazy to do that. |

Just CTRL+ALT+DELETE before you run and make sure there is fuck all else running before you start. Literally everything I reckon. If only your speaker icon is in your taskbar then you're happy man. Also as you have a Radeon: will work wonders for you. Crank up a little more speed. I can't remember if it's the 9600 or not that can be softmodded for to a better spec. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the early version of the 9600 pro could be easilly clocked up to the 9600 XT... but, ATI found out about it an fixed the bug. :( bastardos! frames per second info: ctrl+alt+~ to bring up the console then type com_showfps 1 |
||||||||
|
|

BASTARDS! They shall rue the day they crossed the Shope! I'll check the FPS! |

Just clearing out stuff in the taskbar isn't that helpful. There is still loads of un-needed stuff that starts up with win-xp. are hardware configs, very nice. As far as I've been using my computer, I just use the 'gaming' setting all the time, no matter what. The only thing i've found that I can't do is open those 'ms info' files. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just use the taskbar as a guide. I clear everything I deem pointless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but when you hit ctrl-alt delete, you'll see at least a few processes on svchost that are not needed, but you can't tell which ones. |

Yeah, runs pretty damn good I 'reckon' I'm pretty impressed. A lot of lil children are running around screaming like their heads were just chopped off, proclaiming: -It's too dark! OMG I CANT SEE SHIT ........Duh, that's how the game is supposed to be; you want id to make it look like every other fuking FPS out there? -Chops like a bitch .......Duh, you knew it would be gfx heavy for the past 3 years .......Don't complain, it runs GREAT at lower ends!! .......Great job to id for making GOOD code, unlike most companies. -Just look Half-Life ......No it's not -Multiplayer sucks ......id has been saying for over a year now it will be no more than 4 person based. The engine isn't limited to this, so modders can do whatever the hell they want. It will be slow paced, creepy..you can hide in shadows and wait ;) -Weapons suck .....whatever, all opinion there. Your fault you hyped it up to the point where...well, whatever. you get the idea. I'm in love with this game; had the audio cranked so fkuing high last night...so creepy...im loving it. pitch black. just hope my 6800GT OC will be here soon to kick the 9800pro to the curb, though im running 1024/high/2x fsaa /8x ansi just fine! Great coding by id software, again, to scale all systems. I know a lot of games (cough, EA, cough) where a top of the line system will net you only 40-60fps. Blah! Weak programming will ruin a game. |

It's pretty good 7/10 |

i'm fairly impressed with the looks so far. and my machine is doing a better job running it than i expected it to. but, it's crashing every time i enter a new level, and i have to restart the game. fucking frustrating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
's a bit o' information about the crashes... i'm not sure what's up... the game seems to run fine most of the time, then crashes. if anyone's got any ideas that'd be swell. |

updated drivers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i downloaded the newest ati drivers (both 4.7 and 4.9b), DirectX 9c, and my latest bios... ..i hope this works. i've gotta give vrenna big props for doing such a great job with the sound on this game. i'm pretty much constantly freaked out by it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still haven't got round to my BIOS. I know it's there to be updated. I'll get onto it tonight. LIVE UPDATE A-GO-GO! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh shit, with those new drivers my desktop gamma is insanely high, but when I go to the property page it quickly switches back to normal without me having to change anything (they are at the right settings anyway) but when I quit doom3 it goes back to the brightness. Also, I have no sound in the game. What the fuck? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FAGGOTRY! |
||||||||

nobody knows more about gamma than my good ol friend horsefactory *pets him on his little head* |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
make sure you set the desktop gamma settings, aswell as the 3D gamma settings. |
||||||||
|

i kinda wish there were some really bright moments in the game to contrast with the shadowy vibe. oh well, maybe when i get to hell things will brighten up. (ahh... if i had a nickel for every time i've said that) |

I've had some sound problems running the game after doing some stuff on the computer for a bit before. If I just restart though and run it, it works. |

went out to vancouver today, played doom 3 at the future shop there, nice graphics, cool looking, scary as hell when low on ammo or bare fists... but the comp was obviously shite, it ran really slow and laggy. and i had a look at the official stradegy guide within the showcase booth, OH MY FUCK all my questions were answered, which was acually only 1. what are all the enemies and what do they look like, there are allot, and all adopted from the old doom. |

"Well the flashlight juggling physics fall into that description as well; if you've got the flashlight then you are defenseless but can see what's killing you, and if you have a gun then you can defend yourself but you can't see what's killing you. Sure you know that your health is being gnawed away by a plastic spider of some sort, but you are unable to locate the exact position of this spider due to the fact that the lights are all out and every time it hits you, your character spastically flings his head 180 degrees backwards like a retarded child after licking a tazer." Hahah. This is pretty much my opinion after playing the game. It's like every other first person shooter, just with better graphics. |

im loving it |

Doom III is OK. There's some tweaks you can do to the config to make it run better if your comp is having some difficulties. The game itself is fun and was creepy when playing it in the dark with headphones on, but still it's no Silent Hill when it comes to creepyness. I d/l it off of a bit torrent and I'm glad that I did. I would only play this game for the single player and nothing else and that will only last so long with replay value. I'm glad I still have UT2K4 installed on my PC. |

I think it's pretty great. They stick pretty close to the feel of the original doom, and the visuals are totally awesome, I could spend hours just walking around looking at stuff. And I don't really know what that goofball in the article is talking about, I've yet to have any real problem knowing where an attacker is.. and the flailing about when you're getting the shit kicked out of you by two or three hellbeasts... I'd be pissed if your character didn't react. The story could be a bit more non-linear, but then it wouldn't be Doom. |
