I liked doom 3.
I found it quite scary, and fun.

a lot of people thought it was too linear, and too dark.

i need to reinstall it.
i got right to the bridge before hell, and then reformatted my computer and forgot to back up my games.
i did this, quite simply, because i am an idiot.

It's true. The only game I can remember completing in recent years is Pikmin. It took a couple or a few days. Just about the right length. That's about all the attention I have. Never beat Doom 3, or Half Life 2. They were pretty good. Just too long.

it's frustrating and wierd.
it doesn't really matter for me how long or difficult the game is. i'll just move on to another game and never be able to motivate myself to come back to it.

HL2 too long!?
that's the first time I heard that!
all kinds of people complain that it's too short.. these are the kind of people that will play through such a game in one weekend, mind you. it took me about 3 weeks (not a full 3 weeks, regular playing over 3 weeks..) which seemed just right to me.

I know, I know..
I purchased a new hard drive shortly after getting this game, and during the switch I managed to remember to backup everything except for my progress in the games I had installed.
This was an unfortunate oversight.

I had to shut the fucker off.
When the little beasties started to crawl on the ceiling, my scrotum started to tingle and I had to save and quit.
The shotgun is a most reassuring protection device. I hope there's a lot more ammo.

I need to start playing MG3 again.
I wish I could have that "feeling" I used to get with games when I was younger. It's hard to explain, but they were so exciting and involving and the whole alternate gaming world thing was a really special experience.
I don't really get that sensation any more, unless I am high while playing a game-but I can't do draw any more because of medical/brain issues, heheh.

that "feeling" was your imagination taking hold. now we're just boring adults and all i can play are short games for fifteen minutes at a time. like the insanely amazing virtua fighter 4: evolution.

I just got this tonight, holds up pretty damn well, and feels even SCARIER and more cinematic on the telervision, everything's bigger and more obnoxious. I hear they improved the flow and toned down the tedious flashlight, but I dunno since I'm only a half hour in. Very good ''port'', though.
I don't think it looks quite as good as Chaos Theory, so the graphical ''wham'' factor's a bit dulled. Still very handsome and debonair, 2nd best looking game on Xbox.
Did you get the collector's edition? I didn't... 20 bucks more up here, just for Doom 1 and Doom 2.
