Those demon designs are still pretty ugly and it's too dark.

Is this playable on modern systems?

it was only dark if you played on a shitty LCD. the game is designed for CRTs and it looks beautiful.

The BFG edition exists

Picked up the og Xbox version recently should I play that or the source port?

Just because it is better than Shiternal and Shart Ages doesn't magically make it good. It's still a pile of shit.

Doom 3 was fantastic.

ran on my potato of a computer

still looked great

relatively fun

great lighting and use of shadows

Only complaints were the terrible final boss and the unsatisfying shotgun sfx.

was shit then its shits now
cope

Literally the only good DOOM game

doom/2 with pk3s and wads is a dark fucking rabbit hole

been deep for a year

It's still a Doom game unlike Shiternal and Shart Ages

Its a great game only thing bad is the dumb level design of Demons popping out of closets

Anyone who complains about the light issue are retards/pussies

You zoom:eternal niggers better apologize for shitting on 2016. Also bethesda marketers are insufferable as always.

it was cool, though it would've been better if we weren't killing jumpscare imps for so many levels

I had it for the Xbox and that version is fine... for the Xbox. But if playing the source port is an option you should obviously do that. You get a lot of frame rate drops on the Xbox and the graphics are on the lowest settings. It's a lot better than the Half Life 2 port for the console, but still not ideal.

The problem was never the monster closets or the flashlight. The problem is that the writing is bland and it's boring to listen/read the PDA stuff.

Science gun nerds.
Would felt recoil feel the same on Mars or any other low g environment.
Doom 3 shotgun is overhated.

unsatisfying shotgun sfx.

sound effects for every weapon is trash

The writing and especially voicework in Doom 3 are exellent and very down to earth and just what you'd expect in a science bade on Mars getting overrun by demon. Do you prefer gay capeshit dialogue and exposition?

Plasma gun in 3 has the most satisfying sounds in game history, especially reloading

I prefer no story other than a brief text crawl at the end of an episode

Do you prefer gay capeshit dialogue and exposition?

What Doom 3 offers is not much better. It's lazy and unimaginative spookery.

"...first they got Johnson... then Daniels lost his mind, like some kind of - some DEMON took over... and I think they'll come for me next - oh gawd they're coming, they're at the door oh nooooawwww..." *demonic growling is heard*

99% of the mails and voicelogs are shit like workers complaining about the company disregarding security regulations or meeting up after work for beer and mundane shit like that, how about you actually play the game

Do you prefer gay capeshit dialogue and exposition?

Considering the cope replies you're getting, I'd say you touched a nerve at the very least.

or the source port

The fuck are you talking about? Doom 3 works on modern Windows as is
What fucking "source port"?

What fucking "source port"?

dhewm3.org/

this is the last DOOM I played. Everything released since looks too reddit.

Doom should not have a story beyond "demons here. shoot them until they die"
Nobody cares about John the janitor's pda entries until he reveals that he found a shiny toy and hid it in his locker with the passcode 1993
Nobody wants doomslayer dickriding

It might be less of a doom game then 16 and eternal tho.
Peak "its old so its better" nonsense.
Doom 3 got shit on hard in its launch window because its nothing like doom

No need to apologize because this has always been my #1 Doom game and #2 FPS game (after Condemned and Condemned 2). I usually NEVER play or have any interest in FPS games, not even story centric ones like Bioshock or Alien. So Doom 3 capturing the interest of a non-FPS guy is an achievement itself

Would felt recoil feel the same

Yes, I think so. The mass of the gun and the projectile would stay the same, and the powder would explode the same way. It would feel the same. In the game, though, the gravity is the same as on Earth. I guess it's for gameplay reasons. I don't remember any lore behind it, though that doesn't mean there isn't any.

Doom 3 shotgun is overhated

AYEEEE %my_favorite_youtuber% SAID IT WAS BAAAAD
But yeah, it's definitely more of a melee weapon. I really like how it looks and sounds, though. Llike a howitzer

It's lazy and unimaginative spookery.

It's really funny how in the next zoom tda thread you will be praising its LE COOL AND LE EPIC MEGASTORY ABOUT LE EPIC ZOOM SLAYA (TM)
Eww, fuck off

But why? It just works. You don't need source ports. Maybe an unofficial patch, but that's about it

Still don't like the jumpscare shit.

the last DOOM I played

But it's the last proper Doom game since then too

Adds a couple of improvements and fixes abd is more futureproof. They are also working on overcoming the 60fps Limit.

More resolution support without the wide HUD and FMV you'd get with console commands or cfg editing.

Some years back I played Doom 3 on a Nvidia GTX 750 and got bad frame rates because the game just wasn't making correct use of the GPU. I switched to the source port and that fixed the problem.

cheap prey ripoff

This game is one of those yearly reinstalls and playthroughs

I kek'd and Prey 2006 is also amazing *don't fear the Reader starts playing*

Phoneposter

I have it installed right now

whats with this DOOM3 threads lately
are they about to pajeet remodel another old game that don't need it?

don't fear the Reader

James Joyce is done

Id version of HL. Had so much fun with it two decades ago, but now I barely can look at it.

Anyone else mimic Doom 3 guys breathing irl whenever he goes to the Martian surface? Its so funny sounding

Doom 3 was one of the first to do it before it became an overplayed trope

Wouldn't the low air pressure boil your blood? Also why inhale CO2? lmao

Sovl. Atmosphere. Dark. Oppressive. Sinister. Kino.

Same, and I find it great fun to play around and make it prettier with reshade on new playthroughs. I'm currently playing through Ressurection of Evil with HD textures and added ambient occlusion, raytracing and custom LUT and it looks fucking amazing.

Idk doom 3 guy somehow walks in the Martian surface with no helmet and breathes directly from canisters of oxygen that the UAC leaves around for some reason

also

Imps after imps. At least RoE introduced new demons.

yes just have to manually edit the config file to set widescreen resolution

UAC started terraforming Mars and the atmospheric pressure is higher at the time of Doom3, it's part of the fluff you can learn from the videos playing on soem of the screens throughout the Marse base.

Can you edit the fire rate for weapons? I kinda wanna do a pistol only playthrough but I gotta be able to fire faster than what the game limits me to

I loved doom 3 when it came out and didnt understand the hate from the boomers, it was really spooky.

Why?

idk but I love how the pistol from Doom3 looks like the gun from Blade Runner

It's still garbage.
It was unintentionally hilarious coop game though. Hack!

imp hitting his fellow with a fireball

Kek

I don't. Maybe I would have if Doom 3 had come out when I was six, but I was older

Wouldn't the low air pressure boil your blood

Is your blood exposed? It won't anyway because the Martian atmospheric pressure is just enough to prevent that from happening.

why inhale CO2

Marines in Doom 3 have oxygen tanks on their backs

doom 3 guy somehow walks in the Martian surface with no helmet

It's for the same reason Gordon Freeman never wears one. It's even more justified in Doom 3 because the Marine sometimes appears in cutscenes.

How did Doom 3, 2016 and Eternail fail to make a Doom game?

The main problem was that Carmack dispensed with the humour of the old days. The pitch for the original Doom was "Aliens meets Evil Dead," and it was the vein of Raimi-like absurdity that gave the game its distinct character. Doom 3 ditched that and took itself completely seriously, much to its detriment, because this shit wasn't scary at all.

Good post

Doom 3 did horror ambience so well I'm actually kinda mad that there are so few horror games that follow its philosophy. The sound design is so paranoia and anxiety inducing. You dont need spooky designs or surreal level design. You just need to abuse a person's senses. Play with their ears and eyes.

There's a reason why horror movies abuse Soundwaves that are brain hacks and make you feel uneasy.
For example this soundtrack actually utilizes one of those mindhack soundwaves that make you feel uneasy

youtu.be/9lMArVYkqZ8?si=gUkCEQEhSe9df5Ku

I have always loved the Doom 3 shotgun and never understood the hate.

Why wasn't DTDA just called Quake, anyway? It's doing Quake 1's shtick.

Anyone else felt 2016 was a massive disappointment? I didn't read much about it just that it was popular and got it on a steam sale. At first it looked cool, visual style close to Doom 3 but more advanced, but the more I played the worse it got

combat arenas

gore nests

press F for awesome

le epic doomSLAYA

hints of quirky ironic millenial storytelling, pls applay for le soul harvesting have a nice day

Pierce being a shit villain

muh Hayden

fucking ENCYCLOPEDIA instead of environmental storytelling

I'd have loved an evolution of Doom3 that fixed the flaws of small cramped environments and sometimes excessive darkness but kept the atmospheric presentation and down to earth story telling of 3. All the hints for the gayification of nudoom were already present in 2016, the writing was on the wall.

It feels very unsatisfying, but so do all early weapons in Doom 3.

rectum

My rectum is uneasy

if you are any further away than point blank range, you will get more dps from the machine gun

never understood the hate

You understand everything. It has very short range

It kinda sucks desu, it does godo damage upclose but you just have to be 2 steps away from the target and it stops being effective. They just needed to reduce the spread by half or som and it'd have been a GOAT weapon but it's effectively a hand to hand combat weapon as it is

based connoisseur

I think I'm just blinded by how it looks. I really like it visually for some reason.

It looks cool, Doom3 weapon designs look very cool in general, it just kinda sucks when you expect a shotgun like you are used to, it's more of a club than a gun

Doom 3 retard dislike Doom 2016

What a bold and unique individual you are

Not only do the guns in Doom 3 look good, but they also have good sound design. They just sound cool and authentic. They're not always realistic, but they adhere to the rule of cool. In fact, I'd say that Doom 3's sound design surpasses that of many recently released games
The sound of the plasma gun reloading gives me a slight hard on every time
youtube.com/watch?v=tMI8aNFh2tI

The plasma gun is so satisfying, that glassy clank and uiiiIII sound when reloading is so visceral and satisfying.
Doom2016 had worse storytelling than 3, no way around it. Encyclopedia is a huge example of that, in 3 you got information like that from passing by info screens in Mars bases, or looking at text on computer screens instead of some gay menue you had to deliberately enter. You are celebrating regression.

if anything the recoil would be greater since you "weigh" less due to weaker gravity

instead of some gay menue you had to deliberately enter

NTA and I'm not arguing about the story quality, but a lot of the Doom 3 lore and story was in the PDAs you had to collect and deliberately read on a separate screen
But, after all, it was 2004

see Doom 3's story and lore representation was more immersive and advanced than 2016 and later. nuDoom regressed in thsi regard, there's no way around.

sorry
I've been playing the BFG edition through RBDOOM3 source port with the D3HDP BFG Lite mod (it's still vanilla gameplay) and I love it. Except the spider type demons, fuck them.

Never gets old to approach some computer screen and then suddenly you're actually moving the mouse. Amazing, why is this not found on modern games???

was more immersive and advanced than 2016 and later.

Oh wow. Finding random shit in the levels to read or listen to in a menu is so much more immersive and advanced than finding shit in the levels to read or listen to in a menu.
Fuck off. Both are fucking derivative shit System Shock did a decade before, arguably fucking worse in the case of Doom 3 because System Shock had the genius idea of putting in the fucking text so you can read ahead faster than the slow ass VAs that had to record the script.

plinky dink weapon gay shit sounds like bouncing marbles in a tin can worst sfx ever

Oh wow. Finding random shit in the levels to read or listen to in a menu is so much more immersive and advanced than finding shit in the levels to read or listen to in a menu.

Yes. Showing is better than telling, and making the UI part of the game world is more immersive than separate menues. That's a basic aspect of storytelling. Doom2016 is worse than 3 in this regard. You can @ me with a couple more gay posts, but that doesn't make you any less wrong(or gay)

I really liked it at the time, the only huge problem for me was the glory kill garbage mechanic, it's a huge fucking problem that ruined the series for me. I might just like Dark Ages more than the previous 2 games just because of this.. except we have parry abuse instead. Parry mechanics in Doom is about just as bad as an idea as the glory kill idea.
I DON'T WANT TO KILL DEMONS IN A CUTSCENE!!

doom 3 could only do darkness, mazes and monster closets

nudoom can only do slaughter maps

old doom did both with ease

games are regressing

No. YOU apologize!

in 10 years Anon Babble will praise doom dark ages as peak soul and better the current doom game

Yeah just like people praise old architecture because it's old and not just because it looks better than modern shit

while we're here is doom3 at 8K feasible

UI part of the game world

The map in Far Cry 2 is immersive. The backpack system in ZombiU is immersive. The RIG in Dead Space is immersive.
Doom3's PDA is as immersive as Bond's spy watch UI in Goldeneye 64 or Fallout's pipboy. None at all. You are immersed over fucking nothing beyond than the aesthetics of 2004 UI.

this shotgun is a melee weapon that eats buckshot. it works perfectly if you use it as intended.

Probably. The original release might have some UI scaling problems, but I imagine the BFG edition should work as-is.

well this is definitely surreal

Thanks for your gay post fag

The best Doom

It was like a bad HL2. The only reason I could imagine someone liking it is if they were a kid when they played it and have massive nostalgia goggles on.

The logs in DOOM 3 very slowly tells the story of what's been happening on the station, with a lot of them being about workers doing their job. But there are these hints that something is wrong. All these constant mundane issues, like power outages and broken equipment, give pieces of the puzzle to how things were moving towards disaster. And the closer the date on the log is, the more things are going wrong. I liked the log that was just about maintenance workers in the tunnels hearing whispers and noises, because it was presented like actual people in a work place. Then you can find security logs where they talk about searching the tunnels because of all these complaints, yet they find nothing. It sounds like it shouldn't be all that interesting, but the atmosphere and writing really gives it a believable vibe

Doom2016 had worse storytelling than 3, no way around it.

No not my heckin storyoni!!

Will you ever stop spamming your garbage?

stroytelling in your game is shit

LOL WHO CARES WHO NEEDS THAT ANYWAY

Probably patented by nintendo

only with the VR mod

unfit for ADHD zoomer audience

Was it this one that has a level phasing in and out of hell

You can't deny that DOOM 3 oozes "soul". The reason why it was so divisive is because it leaned too much into the horror side for a lot of people

1 year to go for DOOM2016

wait, no. 2016 wasn't 9 years ago
AAAAAAAAAAAAH

GET DOWN MISTER PRESIDENT

It's 2025 anon

60fps cap in an fps

no thanks
