just got doom3...

very VERY (VERY!!!!) good graphics i must say...It makes me
think how future games will look. Think we are getting close
to so hardcore graphics, that images ingame, and images
outgame, look identical.

but back to the game:
isn't it weird that those marines have to worlds greatest
technology, but they can't ducktape a flashlight to their
guns?

I have doom3 but the computer fits system requirements
minimally, that is, it's more-less okay while no enemies
around. when some appear, fps fall as low as to 1 or 2 per
second.

I noticed this flashlight problem you are talking about,
though didn't play much.

"Think we are getting close to so hardcore graphics, that

whoa there, soldier! we're quite a way off from that.

people in games still look like cartoon-characters..if you
want to be really convincing that'll probably be your
break-point.

AND.. there's the question if lifelike 3d-characters is even
possible.. as it has been said: the eyes are the windows to
the soul, and since 3d-characters don't have a soul...

to explain further: to see a 3d-character so detailed that
it looks like a human will make us.. well.. it's like
looking at a corpse. a walking corpse. animators are well
aware of this fact, and therefore they've started going back
to cartoony characters or characters that are dressed up so
that you can't see their eyes.

I think you can download a patch for your flashlight, so you
can have it out with your gun. I believe you also get a
hello kitty shaped torch beam. You'll probably soon notice
how boring and repetitive the game will get :(

is it Reznor reciting some of his lyrics, while you're
playing the game?

oooh! that just gave me the shivers!

I'm not saying the graphics aren't great, just that they're
not very close to "images outgame", like Junktion calls it,
or "reality" as most people call it.

In the beginning its great... but after a while it just gets
to repetitive.

People often say, 'Why wasn't the flashlight attached to the
gun?'.

I say 'Why the fuck doesn't he have night vision goggles?'
He has been hired prior to the major alien invasion, they
know he will be going to areas of little or no visibility,
they are a multi-million dollar corporation with limitless
technology. Surely they could have given him night vision
goggles!

Dood, it's a game. not a combat simulator.

they wanted to scare you....therefore, why provide night
vision and shit?

The start of Doom is quite boring but it gets better. I
didn’t like the flash light at first but it’s added a
different concept to the game which has now grown on me.
When you reach Hell there’s no flash light at all, it’s
pitch black in places.

Bring on Half Life 2

Doom3 sucks! It`s boring and each monster has 2 ways of
death animation. I watsed 3 cd to burn that crap! If you are
looking for a good fpp carnage game try "Painkiller" it
rocks!
