doom-3

[minor edge]

i love switching between flashlight and weapon

[misty abyss]

Take my BFG edition blast

[minor edge]

doom 3 if it sucked?

[misty abyss]

Doom 3 if it was actually playable

[minor edge]

if you can't play original doom 3 you legitimately have a skill issue

bfg edition makes the game comedically easy with the added ammo and always able to be used flashlight and it fucks up all of the cutscene lighting

[wicked kite]

Console port

[misty abyss]

I can play original Doom 3 just fine, i just despise flashlight being a separate weapon slot as much as shotgun being the way it is

it's annoying as fuck to me

[wicked kite]

Its a shame console players will be forever stuck with the inferior version

[robust estuary]

BFG is fine as a good-enough substitute but it is a shame console have never gotten the good version of DOOM 3
There's the og xbox port which is close, but since that cut out levels or parts of them it's also an incomplete version

[winter solar]

L take honestly

ngl, mounted or separate weapon, the BFG edition should've been darker in general imo, i think the game being as dark as the original helps to justify its more acessible use over the og version, but that's just me

[craggy stratus]

What parts of levels are cut from the og Xbox version???

[robust estuary]

Let me see if I can find a concise list of all of them

[quasi silo]

It's almost never either "BFG is fine" or "2004 is fine", you have to worship one and wish the other to suffer forever apparently

[robust estuary]

Oh perfect, there is a video showing a lot of it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG2483ZVlas

First instance is around the 1:30 mark if you want to skip, where a chunk of the very beginning area is just gone

[craggy stratus]

Oh yeah that ship area at the start exists in BFG but not og version. Odd

Is that the only one?

[robust estuary]

Nah, there's a lot more shortenings as the game goes on
That's just the first one you immediately notice

If you're talking BFG though, it removes a whole arena-like area from the Resurrection of Evil campaign where you end up in a foggy woods-like area. It exists in the OG expansion, but BFG removes it entirely
We've never gotten a DOOM 3 port that's been 100% faithful to the original unfortunately
Even BFG changed a few things, like the gas mask area (I think it was RoE? I forget if this part was base game or Roe) now removes that aspect and is just safe to traverse with no slowly lowering health

[craggy stratus]

I’ve played the og Xbox versions of doom 3 and RoE plus the BFG editions of both

[robust estuary]

OG (PC) and BFG for DOOM 3 + RoE here
Some of the Xbox port, which I really need to get back to finishing eventually

[quasi silo]

I really want to buy the Xbox port now that I have something to play it on

[robust estuary]

Do it! I can't imagine it's too hard to come across

Even the Collector's edition isn't that bad if you want to experience those ports of DOOM 1 and 2 for yourself
...just beware the steelcase tends to get gross, unless mine was just treated poorly

[quasi silo]

I'll go for the original because the steelcase is really ugly

[robust estuary]

:(

[quasi silo]

RoE has the ports anyway

[robust estuary]

Oh it does?

[quasi silo]

Yeah, plus the MLs

[robust estuary]

Oh neat

Probably says that in the manual that I'm missing agh

[quasi silo]

And the Xbox version of DOOM 1 is that one that apparently canonically takes place entirely on Mars so that's funky

[robust estuary]

Example of DOOM 3 steelcase being kind of gross
I'm not sure if this is something that happens with age or if it's common with this kind of thing, but eh. DOOM 3 is DOOM 3 and it was like $15 so why not
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/920390932384337920/1423393372877357157/rn_image_picker_lib_temp_a84b4e87-c5f8-4740-a9aa-56cbf5429187.jpg?ex=68e025e1&is=68ded461&hm=9d1b1bc6590c33ec14ae0bfc4f37da54b51b9dabafdfe3c70a118009ea877cb9&=&format=webp&width=706&height=941

[robust estuary]

Huh??? Does anything about it change to show that

[quasi silo]

Yeah that original cover is smexy while that steelcase one is really plain

[quasi silo]

The skybox is always the same as from E1, so Mars
That's actually why it takes place on Mars, this glitch popped up and Activision just said it's intentional and the game is entirely on Mars lol

[plush bramble]

Sure, activation, sure

[robust estuary]

That's odd but alr

Dunno how you mess something like that up and not notice it

[craggy stratus]

I won’t take steel case slander. I love my doom 3 steel case smh

[robust estuary]

It's cooler in person since it has some texture to it

[quasi silo]

It has a bit of personality sure but you can't replace that iconic original one

Still miles better than DOOM Anthology though

[craggy stratus]

The back of the steel case has cool extruded skulls on it

[quasi silo]

No Hell Knight? No buy

[robust estuary]

You get your hell knight on every physical version of this game

Let the steelcase be unique since only the xbox has one afaik

[quasi silo]

Not with 2019

[robust estuary]

We don't talk about BFG or its rereleases >:(

As far as the OG DOOM 3 goes, you get hell knight on everything

[quasi silo]

#doom-3 message

[plush bramble]

Imma be real, BFG edition on the Xbox 360 was my first ever experience with Doom 😶

[robust estuary]

Which is fine! There's no "bad" way to play it
Some are just better than others, but that goes for every game ever

[quasi silo]

That is one of the best starting points

My first was DOOM Classic Complete on PC, so the Unity port, which is still my favorite way to experience D1

[misty abyss]

out of the changes for BFG edition I don't get is ammo increase

played it on TV with gamepad thru Steam Deck back in 2023 and and i don't remember wasting so much ammo that'd require ammo packs give as much as they do there

like monsters are so slow you can play it just fine without aim assist and shit

[wicked kite]

Doom 3: BFG Edition is a good game but a bad Doom game

[weak latch]

hi

[wraith pumice]

I played every version of Doom 3 and ROE too! the original PC versions, the og xbox ports, the BFG Edition

the og xbox ports of both are easily some of the best fps game ports on that console imo

[wraith pumice]

actual og xbox or xbox 360?

[weak latch]

do you wanna test version i have updated? comparing to dhewm3 its smoother.

[weak latch]

it's not open source. so it's sus yes, and i can understand.

https://github.com/INCBOX/INC-Engine/releases/tag/dhewm3

but 2 days ago i ported dhewm3 into loadable module into my kernel launcher, and it runs smoother. and i would like to get opinions and tests. if anyones up updated github release

[quasi silo]

The OG Xbox port, running on a 360

[wraith pumice]

I played and finished it on both og xbox and xbox 360
playing it on an actual og xbox felt better (duh)

I'm pretty sure Classic Doom in Doom 3 on og xbox was the first console port of the games that was 1 to 1 to the original version with no changes or removals

I actually kinda want to play through Ultimate Doom and Doom II again via that version lol

[quasi silo]

Pretty much yeah, aside from the skybox

[wraith pumice]

can't get over how Activision denied that was a mistake by claiming the entirety of Doom 1 takes place in Mars or smth

[quasi silo]

Couldn't expect more from Activision

[woven flower]

And yet you can get the OG Doom 3 with backwards compatibility

Xbox Doom 3 might be the best version

[rocky mango]

Probably yeah, I'm surprised they put a 3 or 4 disc game onto an Xbox disc

[outer hare]

Does anybody know if doom 3 redux can play ROE

And lost mission?

Otherwise, how should I play them?

[white ether]

Hello

My hot bosssd

Ejercicios

Brbrbrbrbrooo patapin

Gregrg miau miau

[outer hare]

Uh ok?

[tawdry bison]

there's doom on internet archive

whattttttt

[winter solar]

yeah

classic doom

which makes freedoom useless, since you can just get all the original IWADS + expansions for free on the archive

THO, freedoom has some cool textures

[misty abyss]

and cool music too

[rocky mango]

The music was sick, just wished it was in more areas of the game

[tawdry bison]

no, i mean the actual doom 3

fully

[winter solar]

Oh aight

wait

There's doom 3 on internet archive?

[tawdry bison]

yes

[winter solar]

like the full game?

[tawdry bison]

someone uploaded it, and yes

[winter solar]

WHAT

[tawdry bison]

full game

heck even doom eternal and 2016

[winter solar]

that's crazy, i had no idea

WHAT

[rocky mango]

There's gonna be lawsuits up the ass

[midnight sigil]

wait where is it?

[tawdry bison]

nah they were out for an insane amount of time

[rocky mango]

Oh, alr

[tawdry bison]

google

just search it up, im serious

[wicked kite]

ip logger

[tawdry bison]

huh

[visual kayak]

At that point it would be closer to piracy then preservation

[tawdry bison]

yeahh

[quasi silo]

It's not even preservation. The games are still available

[wicked kite]

DOOM: BFG Edition

[weak latch]

anyone wanna test optimized version of dhewm3

[dull heath]

??

I have an old laptop with Intel HD3000 graphics that I tried dhewm3 out on. It runs pretty badly, with some areas dropping to 20fps or worse. I'll give your version a shot if it runs on linux

[weak latch]

you can running with proton, what i did is can't increase FPS, can only make game run much responsive and smoother.

and to confirm that's correct i need a testers.

https://github.com/INCBOX/INC-Engine/releases/tag/dhewm3

i don't have WSL to compile it as linux atm.

[weak latch]

try proton, linux is might be the issue with bad perf,.

[weak latch]

oh no, just made another killer optimization.. tight loops. compare to win32 release on github my version literally destroys it.

[dense frigate]

hey can anyone do acheivement with me doom 3 bfg please

dm me

[vague rune]

What achievement

[haughty lark]

multiplayer ones

[tawdry bison]

doom 3 has multiplayer?!!

[winter solar]

yeah

tho there's no co-op

[tawdry bison]

I never knew

[winter solar]

yeah, it's been dead for a hot minute so i don't blame you

[tawdry bison]

aw

[winter solar]

you'll rarely see servers, and most of the people who play multiplayer play it for the achievements

but from my personnal experience it's a pretty fun game mode

if you get some friends together you can have a solid time with doom 3's deathmatch

[tawdry bison]

how many players does doom 3 get per day anyway

[winter solar]

multiplayer?

[tawdry bison]

yeah

[winter solar]

uhh

i'd say 0 ngl lol

[tawdry bison]

27

[winter solar]

27?

[tawdry bison]

yep

[winter solar]

more than i could ever expect

[solar bough]

Is there a way to uncap the framerate in classic Doom 3? You can easily go up to 165 FPS in BFG Edition, but the original is capped at 62.

[weak latch]

you dont need more fps, you neeed dhewm3.

[solar bough]

Why dude? Every other Doom game runs above 60 FPS easily.

[weak latch]

okay i got something still runs 60 but feels 244, instant responsiveness.

[solar bough]

Plus, BFG Edition has its drawbacks too. You know what they are.

[solar bough]

Can't you just use r_swapinterval 0 and Nvidia control panel to uncap the framerate?

[haughty lark]

yeah if anyone could add me i really want those acheivements

[trail elk]

Anyone want to play Some doom 3 opencoop

[solar bough]

CstDoom3-BFG is the only way to play BFG Edition. But only because it has options to restore the gameplay to the original, among many other things.

[devout osprey]

Absolutely

[trail elk]

Want to play now?

[devout osprey]

sure

[trail elk]

I wil start up my pc and create a lobby so you can join me

[devout osprey]

Ok great

Should I or should i not play on my 2000 rig

Probably the best idea

[trail elk]

Your choice bro

Can you find the game?

Its open without password

[devout osprey]

Ill be there in a min ill see if i can find it

[trail elk]

Cool

[devout osprey]

Whats it called

[trail elk]

Coop campaign

[devout osprey]

Ok

[trail elk]

Found it?

[devout osprey]

Yes

[trail elk]

Are u able to join me?

[devout osprey]

it says Binaries need to be downloaded

[trail elk]

Let me try to join you

Create a game

[devout osprey]

Ok

Must i port forward

[trail elk]

Yes

[devout osprey]

Ok

[tawdry bison]

honsetly, Doom 3 was WAYYY AHEAD OF ITS TIME, the graphics Back then compared to other games? dude it would be considered GTA6, and till this day it still looks good! the fact that some people hate on it but had never played

and the physics were so real, like far cry 1

[plush bramble]

I think part of it also has to do with a strong art direction as well. The artists and level designers knew how to place lights and design levels to create foreboding feel in each level

[trail elk]

Anyone want to play doom 3 open coop?

Got to have radmin

So we are Able to connect trough LAN

[elfin iron]

Are there custom maps for Doom3? if so, where can I find them?

[wicked kite]

ModDB

[weak latch]

try it

wrong, go for my version. it runs better, much responsive.

Smoothness isn’t about FPS, it’s about architecture.

[weak latch]

go ahead and scan on virustotal, dhewm3 is untouched, just compiled as loadable module, and hook up with INC C API. it's ok you don't trust. but it gives you better performance, +FPS + better responsiveness.

it does

and i need testers to confirm, it's actually not about dhewm, it's a project where i will create an Engine using id tech 4.

yes it was until i realized FPS is more in same scenery, so yes it also increases FPS.

responsive and better fps.

okay i get around 40 fps in same scene in vanilla, 60 in my version,

i am here to gain trust, and improve my project. you can just scan it on virustotal.

unfortunately INC is not open source, but i am known modder and trusted.

30k downloads.

if it was sus you would see on moddb project probably on comments or something.

[haughty lark]

someone please help with acheivements

[weak latch]

dhewm3 main dev interested, hoping to see his experience proves the point.

[zinc arrow]

Should I play the og version or the bfg version and why?

[robust estuary]

OG version

BFG changed aspects about the game that are generally worse.

• You get more ammo (meaning the ammo management in a survival game is no longer there)
• The flashlight not being a separate item throws off the whole gameplay loop of defense vs visibility
• Some sections are changed (there's a segment where you need to be fast and grab air tanks, which in BFG doesn't have the air tank anymore and plays like any other level)
• Some sections are entirely removed (like a specific arena fight in the Hell levels near the end of the game)

If it's your only option, BFG is fine
But if you have the choice, OG is the way to go

[royal raptor]

I never played OG, so I had no idea anything had changed beyond the integration of the flashlight

[robust estuary]

Also most of the lighting changed, so some areas that are supposed to be darker (or appear more sinister) suddenly don't
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/920390932384337920/1426715281526358147/maxresdefault.jpg?ex=68ec3ba6&is=68eaea26&hm=c2e089ed2a91b943e70558d75d753d3ef991a1247ff796cc5d092c4a97c728d8&

It's important for you to know that while DOOM 1 & 2 also had a horror aspect to them, DOOM 3 goes all in on that aspect that 1/2 weren't able to capture due to hardware limitations of the time
So proper lighting is everything here

[rocky mango]

I think the og doom 3 was better imo

[robust estuary]

Def was

[frigid brook]

OG is the way to go

Sure, it requires some setup for the modern hardware (especially the monitors/high resolutions) via autoexec.cfg

[robust estuary]

Which luckily it is easy to set up for modern hardware
All things considered for a game from 2004, it still works pretty damn well on modern hardware

Change a value or two to get widescreen and it'll run perfectly

[wicked kite]

seta r_customWidth 1920
seta r_customHeight 1080
seta r_mode -1

[zinc arrow]

I’ll probably play both if I enjoy the original

[woven flower]

You also move faster in BFG
And an entire rad suit section was removed that is pure 🔥

I wish there was just an all inclusive hd, bug fixed, widescreen doom 3 og...
Not to mention controller support.

[tawdry bison]

anyone tried the brutal doom 3 mod?

[harsh shadow]

Wish there was an entire Doom 3 spinoff series

and a remake but eh

[trail elk]

Anyone want to play doom 3 opencoop?

[indigo pond]

Wait there was a brutal doom 3?

[tawdry bison]

yeah

i thought alot of people knew what-

[indigo pond]

not me

[red fiber]

Is there an issue with Bethesda.net link status? I’m unable to open my doom3 file

Nvm I’m in

[tawdry bison]

the mod adds dual wielding, more gore and blood, New melee system(and your hands get Black gloves on every weapon), it adds 8 new guns, and alot more new things(special abilities for the guns)

[indigo pond]

Yeah like every brutal doom

[viral shuttle]

Why don't make Bethesda doom3 remake with psvr2 mod.Brutal and bloody in every way?

[wicked kite]

Ngl that shit would be mid

[glad leaf]

I played this one

Got scared of it bc I was a little one

[tawdry bison]

brutal doom 3?

[glad leaf]

I think it was the one where that focused more on being a bit horrorier or wtvr the one ok mars

[tawdry bison]

if you ever play it again then try using the fists/jabs and right click on any enemie's face

it will put a fatality animation

[glad leaf]

I was on a weird console I got it on g force I think Nvidia

I was also kid so I didn't know much

But now im much better at gaming

[tawdry bison]

and you could also dropkick them if you Sprint

(there was a new sprinting animation added)

to the mod recently

its last update was like 2024-2023(the mod got privated but the showcase of progress is still around)

[robust estuary]

PSVR 2 compatibility would be awesome and I'd love to see that
But I can't really imagine how something like brutal doom would benefit DOOM 3 at all. Seems kind of opposite of what its going for with the more atmospheric horror

[quasi silo]

They didn't play Brutal DOOM 3 vro 💔

[tawdry bison]

ok

[viral shuttle]

@robust estuary Doom3 was pinnacle of atmospheric horrors at it time.I played it many times with many mods on pc.

Modders have at that time only goals some to get rid of disappearance after mob was killed and second make doom bloody (Perfected doom mod brought it to totally new lvl using grenades or rockets could rip mobs into pieces) that my friend was funny and exiting to play.

Imagine doom3 remake on newest ID engine with with original world put together not separate lvls but connected to the one big facility totaly .Where u can move back and forth.U can shot monsters into pieces ,create bloody mess with healthy atmospheric from original game with cherry on top.Game for classic gameplay for the normal players and psvr2 mod for virtual reality enthusiasts like me or others!

I am allover with this idea because I think that psvr2 has potential but developers don't what it some how. Solely game only for Vr is a mistake but game for both can be win. Have u ever played Res.Evil 4 remake on Vr2?

That's an example how to it right one game two ways how to play.This can be game change.All doom games were made as first person shooter perfect!Necessary ingredient for Vr. What u think?

🤣😂This nice would it be as yoda said!🤣😂

Doom3 deserves a remake! That game was best horror of its time!

[tawdry bison]

true

it needs a remake

it's just too good to look like an old game

[quasi silo]

It looks like a 2004 game, which is not a bad thing, because technology at the time was already really good. I think the game is mad pretty as it is personally

[viral shuttle]

It is still good ur right. It is pernonal taste!I have that feeling that really good game can be truly amazing game. Won't you wanna see it?Some kickass old game made shine again!Pumped up with new shaders,Physics more blood, flying limbs and heads.

Doom3 and Doom Vr was made for ps vr first generation. Developers probably stopped for lack of sales!There was no future support of any kind For 2nd generation of Ps VR.

And to play it u have to all that stuff from first generation!

I played most of Doom games even modified version called Brutal Doom a that was bloody fun (old really good game made truly amazing)one change with lot of impact!I would like to see that Doom 3 remake if developers will do ever that.

[red fiber]

I’m on my first playthrough of Doom 3 ever for Spooky Season and I’m having a blast. I was like 10 when it came out and never played it but I remember seeing it in gaming mags or Xplay at the time. It feels nostalgic, despite me never having touched it. Whether it’s due to the memories of seeing it then or just its visual design being that of the times. I’d say it holds up quite well. I’m having a blast. I’m at Delta Labs 2a and just met the first two Archviles. Anybody have any idea how much game is left?

[quasi silo]

You're at map 16 of 27

[red fiber]

Lots left!

[spice mortar]

I used to mod the crap out of the sounds in this game in my early 20s back when I was indoors a lot. This was around 2012, long after it was released in 2004. I didn't like the sounds but adored the gameplay and wanted to play custom levels so I opened the console and fired away at it.

[rugged elm]

this game has such a different vibe compared to dark ages

[tawdry bison]

true, honsetly i kinda think the dark ages was bad(personally)

[scenic stratus]

doom 3 in general has a different vibe compare to almost all of the doom games, with the exception of doom 64.

[viral shuttle]

Way different vibe! Personaly I like doom3 most because,has story that have balls.In Doom (2016)they found u in stone sarcophagus No story what so ever!

[minor edge]

and doom psx

[winter solar]

doom psx is so peak

[devout osprey]

yes doom 3 is best.

[loud sparrow]

I was 4 years old on doom 3 game back in 2007

Maledict: you're soul is burning
I like it for keep me fuel

[viral shuttle]

Doom 3 can be even better i really miss Vr support and remake!

[lament summit]

which level designer at id had a major hard-on for spawning enemies behind the player

[woven flower]

The spawns work perfectly for coop tbh

[livid dawn]

just bought doom 3 any tips before starting

[woven flower]

The RUN key is the most important button

[wicked kite]

On my first playthrough of doom 3 I never used the run button

But tbh I was playing the bfg edition

I didnt even know you could sprint

[spice mortar]

That has always been my least liked Doom game. I remember when I first played it ages ago; to me it was just Quake with sprites, kinda run-of-the-mill to me really.

[prime whale]

Comparing doom 3’s gameplay to quake is honestly so insulting to quake lmao

[quasi silo]

(He's comparing 64's gameplay to Quake)

[prime whale]

Ah
Well either way, still insulting to quake

[spice mortar]

Quake is awesome ngl I played that game intensely throughout my early teenage years all throughout high school well into my late teens. That was my #1 game believe it or not when I was 15

[wicked kite]

No

[drifting jewel]

Isn’t this the only game with something like a dragon boss?

[prime whale]

well yeah, quake and doom 3 both run on versions of id tech
but one is a movement shooter where you're basically bouncing off the walls the entire time and the other is the complete opposite

[winter solar]

Closest thing would be the maledict from RoE but he's a gargoyle, not a dragon.

[bright summit]

On Friday I'm getting a ps3 with a copy of doom 3

I won.

[robust estuary]

I love playing DOOM 3 (Xbox) on the 360 because every time it refers to the "white button" or "black button" I have no idea what those buttons got remapped to!!!!

[quasi silo]

LB and RB respectively
You're welcome

[robust estuary]

Instructions unclear I keep pulling up my fists and not the flashlight which is supposed to be the white button

Also PDA (black button) is on Y now

[quasi silo]

Weird game

I intend to play the port eventually so I will experience the jank myself

[robust estuary]

Oh flashlight is mapped to B now

thank you vicarious visions

[compact cedar]

hi everyone !

who think doom 3 is better than the other doom ?

[minor edge]

i think it’s better than a lot of doom

[pseudo dust]

no

[compact cedar]

i agree

doom 3 is a good game but it's not better than doom eternal or doom tda

on my point of view

[robust estuary]

I wouldn't say better than Ultimate DOOM, but I do like 3 more than what came after it

[minor edge]

I would place Doom 3 above Doom 2 and 64 at least

[prime whale]

hell naw

[digital vector]

Doom 2 was an improvement over doom 1 so yeah I would disagree

[wicked kite]

Ugly ass level design

[minor edge]

Doom 2’s levels are worse than Doom’s 🤷‍♀️

[digital vector]

You could argue that but it introduced so many iconic demons

[wicked kite]

The only saving grace

Besides the ssg

[minor edge]

Yeah but they’re not utilised very well

[chilly oak]

Doom 3 has some cool demons. The maggot, cherub, commando. The designs are pretty cool too, just lacking in colour.

[harsh shadow]

Doom 3 has the best atmosphere of all the doom games... I think very few games are going to have as mundane and muddy a color palette as Gears of War's.

when it comes to the Atmos, if you can't tell using headphones, then you really need to be playing in at least 5.1 surround sound because headphones honestly suck (Even when you spend $1,500 like I have for sound design) I've used them for years and they do not compare to surround. very flat soundscape with little dimension.

Doom 3 was the best audio experience I had, next to Metroid Prime. if you have room and you can swing surround, I'd do it.

[loud sparrow]

I was 5 first play doom 3 game in 2007

[haughty lark]

anyone wanna help me out on doom 3

bfg do online acheivements

[jade sorrel]

The most underrated Doom is Doom 3

[harsh shadow]

Doom 3, nine years old, MaximumCD demo disk, 2004, night time, Logitech Dolby Pro Logic II 5.1 Surround Sound

[tawdry bison]

the awesome days😎

[harsh shadow]

did an AI search and it looks like I would have played it in October of 2004... because apparently the demo for Doom 3 wasn't released till September and the record for releasing a CD would have been the next magazine cycle

[sage eagle]

I wanna know what yall think of the BFG edition? I know many people don't like it for streamlining some things or making slight changes. I personally like Doom 3: BFG edition because it is funnily enough the first doom experience i had.
Plus it also came with RoE, the lost missions, the entirety of doom 1 & doom 2 plus a cool little doom 1 poster i still have

[wicked kite]

Doom 3 BFG edition on ps3 was also my first doom game but still I think its an awful remaster

[sage eagle]

I cant speak cause I havent played the og doom 3

I just really appreciate it for letting me experience doom 1 & 2

[wicked kite]

Honestly the ports for classic doom for the bfg edition are fine as long as you're playing the xbox version

[minor edge]

doesnt it also come with the goat nrftl

[robust estuary]

It's fine. Not the best way to play DOOM 3, but the lost missions were neat and it's a good enough compromise even with all it's changes and nerfing of the original.

[robust estuary]

Also yes. BFG did include Nrftl as well

[sage eagle]

Not that I remmeber

[wicked kite]

It does come with nrftl

[quasi silo]

BFG is fine imo, makes some weird changes, some subjective, others just confusing

[junior spruce]

hello

[fickle scroll]

the last messages where from yesterday

doom 3 cant be that unloved

[wicked kite]

Doom 3 is a better doom game ngl

[gray harbor]

Doom 3 is a great game

[mental ferry]

I don't think it's unloved, I just think it's slightly less liked compared to the rest

[fickle scroll]

yeah

i personally do like it

[viral briar]

What about the RPGs though

[minor edge]

RPGs and Resurrection would be the most unloved naturally

[viral shuttle]

Yeas I agree Doom3 is insanely good game.I played it many times.But it is very sad that Id software or Bethesda don't care about it.A Remake and Vr support for pc and ps5 would be really insane gameplay.Simply on of greatest games playable in two ways.Many players simply dwell in past in dont wanna remake!

[ember sapphire]

Im on cpu complex on doom 3 bfg nightmare

I’ve already made it pretty far, but I feel like I can’t make it any farther

[halcyon cargo]

Afternoon all, has anyone got DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil or Phobos working on Steam?
I can see the d3xp directory under Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Doom 3\ and have created a DoomConfig.cfg based on this discussion but cannot get RoE to run and therefore Phobos can't run.

[dry sapphire]

It will create a d3xp folder even though RoE is not installed. RoE will be its own entry in your library, so make sure its installed alongside doom 3 and doom 3 phobos. All in the same folder

[harsh shadow]

The best way to play Doom 3 is with Dhewm 3 and hd textures (non-BFG)

[vague prism]

Yo guys, I was considering buying Doom 3 but due to only having a console, I can only acquire the BFG edition. Is it really THAT bad? Like, I know the flashlight is shoulder mounted and everything is brighter, but is the experience that poor in comparison to the original?

[minor edge]

i think you'll still enjoy it but it is definitely inferior

but you also get a bonus dlc so

[quasi silo]

If you have a 360 you can scout out the OG version

[minor edge]

also true

[vague prism]

Sadly, I don't. I have a PS5, and a laptop that is unable to run games from 10-15 years ago, so... BFG it is

[vague prism]

What? You're talking about Lost Mission?

[quasi silo]

Yes

[quasi silo]

DOOM 3 is from 2004, you sure your laptop can't run it even at the lowest settings?

[vague prism]

I don't wanna risk it. I'm always really careful with spending my money, and I don't want to buy a game that in the end I cannot even play

[minor edge]

you can refund on steam if you play for less than 2 hours

[quasi silo]

That's why we have access to minimum requirements info

[minor edge]

also u can check the specs

[vague prism]

Honestly, fair. Is the original version on Steam?

[quasi silo]

Yes

[minor edge]

yes but u have to buy the bfg version but then it comes with the og version

[quasi silo]

It's still in total cheaper than it was before they merged the two editions

[vague prism]

Ok, I'll consider buying it on Steam after I beat every game I have yet to complete. Aka Dark Ages, Hexen and Dragon's Crown

[quasi silo]

Used to be 10 dollars for OG + RoE and now it's like, what, 8? For all that and BFG?

[vague prism]

That's pretty nice

Well, thanks for the help guys! Take care

[plush bramble]

Imma be real, I think the BFG edition is overhated. It’s definitely a downgrade from the original in some ways, but still playable and a good way to experience Doom 3

[wicked kite]

If they didnt remove certain sections and decreased the amount of enemies it sure would have been a good way to experience doom 3

[quasi silo]

Still a good game overall because it's some form of DOOM 3

[wicked kite]

Doom 3 is a good game

But a

I dont see what would have been the reason to remove demons if their goal was to make doom 3 more of an action game

[plush bramble]

Yeah, kind of an odd design choice

Like, the shoulder flashlight makes sense, but the extra ammo + fewer demons doesn’t

[wicked kite]

With the increased sprint speed and the increased ammo

[plush bramble]

I could be misremembering, but didn’t they make the game generally less dark as well?

[wicked kite]

On my first playthrough I didnt even know there was a sprint button because the base walk speed was increased too

[wicked kite]

The game is overall brighter and the shadow quality in some sections got downgraded

[minor edge]

lol true

[loud sparrow]

Oct 11 2010
I was actually emo Ultimatly at 7 years old.

[eager mauve]

There are two Doom 3 commands that I think are fake because they don't work for me: "Give PDA," which is supposed to give you all the PDAs in the level but only gives you your own, and "Doomhell," which is supposed to complete the game but doesn't.

[compact meteor]

I just read that this game is 11 hours? I'm like 4 hours in and already prepared to check out

A smarter person would simply stop playing the game but then it would be the only commercially released Doom game that I haven't played to the end so I'm kinda stuck committing to it

[quasi silo]

It's not 11 hours. All of my playthroughs have been 5 hours, even my first one

[unkempt flax]

hello, can someone help me with multiplayer achievement in doom 3??? i need 2 people to do one achievement when you have to kill two people in one room with rocket launcher

[woven flower]

yeah doom 3 is only about 5 hours long, but getting it working on a modern machines takes at least another 6 hours.
thats why maybe peopel are saying is 11 hours long.

[robust estuary]

DOOM 3 is not that hard to get running on modern machines at all
I use win11 and it takes maybe 5 minutes of poking around a config file for widescreen and resolution change and its good as gold

[wicked kite]

Yeah it aint that bad

[quasi silo]

If you don't care for modern enhancements all that there is to do is just patch out the graphics quality bug

[wicked kite]

And the resolution

[compact meteor]

I was playing the console version because I got it on sale for $4

The one with the ear splitting Panic Button logo

It was 8 hours, not one single source I heard from was correct

[quasi silo]

5 hours is the most popular answer so I think the 8 hours is the abnormality

[woven flower]

Playthroughs range from 5-10 hours.

[misty abyss]

you get 5 if you just rush through it i guess

I took 12 cause i was exploring for stuff

and both expansions took me 1.5 hours each

[winter solar]

i fucking hate the panic button logo intro

god it's so unecessarily loud

[compact meteor]

The Panic Button logo is the loudest for sure but let's not pretend the first two logos before it weren't also loud asf

It builds up progressively

[winter solar]

trueee

[wicked kite]

Funnily enough the id software logo is loud as shit in the bfg edition

[winter solar]

true too idk why they make them so goddamn loud

the bethesda logo is the least earrapey

[wicked kite]

It isnt like that in the original release

[winter solar]

yeah

the id logo in the og one is much less fucked to the ears

and it has that cool animation

[surreal coyote]

So uh, y’know when you go out for your first mission and you get your gear?

I may or may not have shot someone’s head off immediately after exiting 😭

[winter solar]

the dude working on that machine?

actually you need to kill him if you want to get 100% achievements, he drops a pda which counts for the achievement so

and he's not the only one lol

[surreal coyote]

Oh so it’s good I’ve been killing all of the people?

[minor edge]

Morally no for completion yes

[winter solar]

They're all gonna die anyways so

It's not really spoiler since it's expected

Or is it?

https://tenor.com/view/vsause-michael-michael-vsause-vsause-michael-gif-25125732

[nocturne marsh]

Yeesh. Micheal from VSauce jumpscare. Me no like....😨

[compact meteor]

I definitely shot a hazmat suit guy near the end because my brain was on autopilot and I just pressed the right trigger on anything that moved

[woven flower]

In 20 years I've never killed the workers. Maybe like just one.

[harsh shadow]

Kill them all. Harvest their filthy souls. Send their souls to hell 👿

[winter solar]

harvest their filthy PDAs*

[surreal coyote]

I’m never touching DOOM 3 again😭 I just threw my controller out of fear after completing the first mission

[wicked kite]

Now that I think about it, Doom 3 is the game with the least gamebreaking bugs
Making it the best doom game ever

[proper jetty]

What are the other games?

[quasi silo]

The other DOOM games...

[winter solar]

OH BOY, there are many controllers to come!

[surreal coyote]

[inland mist]

[quasi silo]

Doesn't it just run OOB on Steam and GOG anyway

[robust estuary]

You can get widescreen you just can't do it from the ingame menu, you have to change a value in the config file itself and it works fine

[robust estuary]

Also yeah, old DOOM 3 still runs pretty well on modern hardware from my experience. You don't need any mods or anything for it, just poke around the config files for a few values and it's perfect
BFG runs even easier OOB

[whole jolt]

Hi guys, hope you’re well. Can anyone recommend a good YouTube channel for a doom 3 BFG edition walkthrough ? I’m currently watching BigMacDavis and feels like he’s not sure himself when he’s going through levels. Would appreciate a mention/dm so I don’t miss the response

[whole jolt]

I can relate. I despise horror and Doom 3 keeps making me jump.

[wicked kite]

Just play the game by yourself

[lone tiger]

Kind of wish nightdive would do doom 3

[robust estuary]

Hopefully someday. That'd be amazing

[quasi silo]

I remember getting lost in a few areas

[gray harbor]

Yup a few of the puzzles took me a bit the first time. Or when you don't know how to complete a boss fight

Of course this was over 20 years ago now

[woven flower]

There are a lot of secrets.
I only learned last week that killing civvies rewards you with pda files.
The BFG & early BFG I think are worth being detailed.

[harsh shadow]

Again, Dhewm 3 plus hd textures for a complete 2025 Doom 3 experience

with EAX audio on

[trail verge]

Yo guys, is it worth buying doom 3 on Nintendo switch??

[robust estuary]

That'd be the BFG edition which is fine. Not the best way to play DOOM 3, but it's good enough
Go for it

If you have a decent PC though I highly recommend just buying the original 2004 release on steam and playing it that way

[quasi silo]

You can't buy the releases on Steam seperately anyway

[mild basin]

Yes I have it on switch it runs great

[wicked citrus]

I love Doom 3 so much

[loud sparrow]

DOOM 3

[misty abyss]

real

[wise girder]

Hi guys i try to find some good 3D model from Doom 3 Did you have good idea ?

[twin roost]

Hey umm, I recently reinstalled doom 3 on my computer with some patches and the grey part of the screen keeps flashing when it starts up, is there a way to fix this?

[rough current]

what for?

[wise girder]

i want to use it for personal mod on game

[idle otter]

i use the redux doom 3 mod

[wicked kite]

Stretched hud and pda ui my beloved

[wraith pumice]

anyone else tends to suck at avoiding the Tentacle Commando's melee attack?
I sometimes crouch too early, which means he ends up hitting me anyway 😭

[wicked kite]

He'll damage you if he lands too close to you even if you are crouching

I think he kicks you

[minor edge]

I don’t think I’ve ever fought a single one without taking damage

[robust estuary]

He does
A trick I use to avoid them pretty safely is duck but immediately start moving back since they'll kick if you're still crouching at the end of their attack

Do that and you'll avoid them in most situations unless you back up into a wall or something

[viral lava]

downloaded the steam version to get VR working and managed to get the settings working properly as well. I didn't play too much only got back to mars city.

people weren't kidding about the shotgun not feeling great ||and it is the fault of the imp's design actually||

[quasi vault]

Shotgun spread is really bad

But it makes for more intense gameplay which is more fun

[viral lava]

they for whatever reason gave imp this really long wind up time on its fireball which led to further design decisions meaning it stands still during this wind up meaning they had to make sure it would be able to finish this attack, so they made it to where you can't stagger it with the shotgun otherwise it can't do anything (as opposed to an enemy that has a quick way to retaliate if it gets staggered) so the shotgun ends up feeling terrible as a result

[quasi vault]

Also doesn’t help that it can range from 1-3 shots to kill some enemies

Its like low rolling in classic Doom but forever

[viral lava]

even shotgunning a tanky enemy in classic doom sometimes gives feedback with a pain animation, here it is apparent that they had to make an imp uninterruptible period because of a terrible long start up attack which leads to very poor weapon feedback until it finally dies and you can see some gibs for weapon feedback

[quasi vault]

At least the game compensates with its best mechanic: crouching

[viral lava]

... but that doesn't make the shotgun feel better lol

[quasi vault]

Except it doesn’t work well

Doom 3 needs a remake so bad 😭

[viral lava]

I feel like the visuals of this game aged really well (except for everyone being conveniently bald or George Bush Era military haircut) but they were very inexperienced at making a horror title or coming up with very intimate 1 on 1 encounters (at least this early on, maybe it improves later as I play)

[quasi vault]

I like Doom 3 in everything but the gunplay

The addition of the physics gun and ssg in the expansions really changed it for the better

[quasi vault]

I think the game could use a weapon remix

Just remake all the weapons and the game could be peak

[misty abyss]

weapons are fine except the shotgun, it's just awful

[quasi vault]

Outside of the shotgun the minigun is just kinda there, barely ever used it the whole game

[dawn forum]

A game where a shotgun is awful... is that possible?

[misty abyss]

main problem is ammo shortage, unless you're playing BFG edition. Oh yeah it fires slower in BFG edition too.

[misty abyss]

This is the game in this case. It has unholy spread and equally unholy damage RNG. You may not kill something unless you're literally point blank

[quasi vault]

Shit even shooting point blank might not kill

[dawn forum]

and the worst part is that you get a weapon literally within the first hour of playing

[misty abyss]

great for deleting thousandth imp behind a door

[dawn forum]

Doom 3 is the only Doom game i haven't want play because of all the bad things i've seen

[quasi vault]

Doom 3 is actually really good

Just not a good Doom game

[misty abyss]

It's a pretty good game, shotgun isn't a good thing about it however

[quasi vault]

Doom 3 overall gets an 8 from me

[dawn forum]

In other words, Doom 3 is a good game, not a good Doom

?

[quasi vault]

Yeah

[dawn forum]

shit

[quasi vault]

You should play it and from your own opinion. Thats the best direction for gaming.

[dawn forum]

play it like any other game, not seeing it as another Doom

[robust estuary]

Good game AND good DOOM game

[quasi vault]

Ehhhhh

In terms of Doom DOOM 3 is mid af

[robust estuary]

Imagine DOOM 3 as the classic games if they weren't limited by hardware of the time and could go more into the creepy/atmosphere horror aspect

It did start out as a DOOM 1 remake after all

[quasi vault]

It did fine for its time

[dawn forum]

but classic Doom can be played from a fucking pregnancy test

[quasi silo]

It can't, the pregnancy test was only a display 🤓

[robust estuary]

Yes no kind of
Afaik it wasn't actually playing on the pregnancy test, it was just a video playing on it

[dawn forum]

Shhh

Doom is eternal

[quasi vault]

I still recommend Doom 3 regardless of whether or not its a good Doom game

[quasi silo]

(It is)

[robust estuary]

It has DOOM in the title so as far as I care it's as much of a DOOM game as 1 or Eternal would be

And with that being said it's damn good

[dawn forum]

just for that reason, im going to play it, for you, my friend

[quasi vault]

Hell yeah!

[quasi vault]

Shoulda lead with that instead of hitting me with an ❌

[robust estuary]

That was Anome's doing

[quasi vault]

Oh

[robust estuary]

I just hopped on the opportunity

[quasi vault]

I never check reactions

Jarvis, jiggle his shit

[dawn forum]

Jarvis, delete account

[quasi silo]

Jarvis, hi :)

[quasi vault]

Jarvis remake Doom 3

[viral lava]

I'm also going to judge it on how much of a horror game it is, and so far it isn't a great one

[dawn forum]

Jarvis, make me rice

[quasi vault]

Doom 3 is far from scary

But it does have the atmosphere down to a t

[viral lava]

I think it is apparent that a lot of this game's flaws are its own and not just living in DOOM's shadow

[quasi vault]

If I had played it back when it first came out I would def be unnerved

[robust estuary]

DOOM 3 is just a weird case because you can't go into it expecting a pure action game nor a pure horror game
You have to expect a bit of both but don't expect it to dedicate to either

[quasi vault]

But maybe not since I grew up on Resident Evil 2 and Doom

[dawn forum]

if it didn't have the title "Doom" it would have been forgotten by now, or no?

[quasi vault]

Probably

[quasi silo]

It wouldn't

[dawn forum]

in my case, it would be the dragon gall and god of war games

[quasi silo]

It's an id Software game, even Orcs & Elves has people that know it

[robust estuary]

Hard to say, because even graphically DOOM 3 is really impressive for the time so it might've still gained traction for that aspect (think like how Crysis did)

[dawn forum]

Doom 3, an underrated gem

[viral lava]

I remember DOOM 3 being criticized for its very closed and small environments, particuarly when stuff like Far Cry was out at the same time

[quasi vault]

Doom 3 if not Doom would have its own niche fandom that would blow up sometime in 2022 after a SGDQ

[robust estuary]

The best doom game you've NEVER played

It's just DOOM 3

[dawn forum]

Okay guys, i have to go

[viral lava]

anyway I'ma bout to play some more

[dawn forum]

Bye everyone

[quasi vault]

See ya

[viral lava]

yeah I'm convinced it is the enemies not the shotgun that are the problem. The shotgun actually has VERY good audio, it is very loud and boisterous, the problem comes back to enemies just having no stagger mechanic when shot, not even limbs shaking a bit like in Goldeneye so it just makes a gun that makes a literal explosion for a sound feel like a spray bottle instead

[wicked kite]

Doom 3 would have been the perfect Doom game if it wasnt for the shotgun

[minor edge]

❌ ❌ ❌

[minor edge]

get out bro

[minor edge]

i will always defend the doom 3 shotgun

[dawn forum]

why?

[minor edge]

just joking about you not liking doom 3 :p

[dawn forum]

bruh

[upbeat gorge]

I sometimes wonder if Doom 3 was meant to be a prequel to Doom 2 originally since the ending (from what little I've seen) seems to line up well with the prologue in Doom 2's manual

[wicked kite]

Pretty sure DOOM: The Dark Ages is a sequel to DOOM Eternal

[upbeat gorge]

No I'm being serious

Notably Doom 2's manual says that the marine took a ship back to earth like in Doom 3

And Doom 2's manual says the marine got back from fighting on Mars not Phobos and Deimos like in Doom 1

Doom 3 takes place on Mars though

So perhaps originally Doom 3 and Doom 2 were meant to be the same continuity

[minor edge]

nah it was just a reboot

they planned on making a doom 2 remake after as well but it got scrapped and eventually turned into doom 2016

[upbeat gorge]

I am aware of the original Doom 4 yeah

[gray harbor]

there was also a cool mod project for Doom 3 called Hell on Earth, I think it was long ago cancelled though

[torpid python]

Can it run Doom 3?

[high spruce]

Are there any doom 3 vr mods that allow for 2 handed guns and manual reloading? I know there's sidequest, pcvr, and fully possessed but idk if any actually have manual reloading.

[tawdry bison]

yeah brutal doom 3

[high spruce]

I can't find any brutal doom 3 vr online only brutal doom vr for doom 1, did you mean that one? Or is there a brutal doom 3 I'm just not finding?

[tawdry bison]

there is a brutal doom for doom 3

a phew people have their hands on it

(on this server too im guessing)

the mod went private, progress stopped till a phew months ago

[high spruce]

Oh I see. That's too bad, glad progress picked back up. And would explain why I can't find anything about it.

[high spruce]

wait is that even vr to begin with?

[tawdry bison]

supported yeah

[winter solar]

That's just not true

Doom isn't specifically just fast paced fps. Every game has its differences but it's all doom at its core

[misty abyss]

Doom 3 is VERY close to original Doom

[quasi vault]

Hey I backtracked

Not here but I have backtracked it

Thought about it way more comparing it to the ogs and Doom 3 definitely still isn’t the most Doomey for me but its still fucking awesome

I dunno why but it just misses the mark for me as a Doom game

Its got the horror vibes of 64 with the visuals of Doom 1&2 in 3d

But still, doesn’t matter because all Doom fans would play it regardless of its association because a good fps game is a good fps

[deep sphinx]

Guys, i can't kill the vagary in nightmare.. any tip?? i didn't recharged the soul cube

[deep sphinx]

[wicked kite]

If you have the chaingun just pray she dies faster than you

[deep sphinx]

Okay, i'll try it

Tnk u

[wicked kite]

I dont know how to 100% evade her telekinetic attack but I think you have to crouch

And time that crouch

[solar bough]

I guess a small benefit to the BFG Edition flashlight is speeding up the pacing since you aren’t swapping between weapons that way.

[broken siren]

[solar bough]

Hi guys, im doing my very first playthrough of Doom 3 as someone who hates horror in general. The first half hour of gameplay i pretty much got scared from every single jumpscare (It was a literal nightmare). But i must say for a game from 2004 im really impressed by how accurately they nailed the atmosphere. And after playing continuously for about 2 hours i even began to really enjoy it. I don't undestand how many Doom fans act like this game isn't a worthy Doom game. Its a super creative take on the Doom universe and imo should receive equal praise as any other Doom game. I will surely be finishing my playthrough & Im already looking forward to the Expansion Pack.

But when im done with this i will probably not touch anything horror in a very long time. (I still fucking hate jumpscares)

[solar bough]

I personally don't get the argument over BFG Edition having the mounted flashlight The mounted was the original idea, but Id Software couldn't do it for OG Doom 3 because it would otherwise make the performance really bad.

Carmack said about that himself in QuakeCon 2012.

[supple gull]

He shouldn't have been standing in the middle

[minor edge]

I mean, yea, that was one of the original ideas, but the game is clearly built around that limitation, which means retroactively changing it back breaks many of the set pieces

It’s similar to freelook, sure it was a limitation, but using it in Doom II completely breaks the Icon of Sin fight, which is why it would be controversial if they changed to that

[solar bough]

Even so, people still complained about the handheld flashlight because it was "unrealisitc for the time setting".

But in actuality, the only issue I find with the handheld flashlight is slowing down the pacing since you're always having to swap in and out of the flashlight.

And it's a little known fact that Doom 3's movement is actually Quake 3's.

It's especially apparent when you play a mod like CstDoom3-BFG that lets you have infinite stamina.

On that note, CstDoom3-bfg is really the mod I recommend to anyone that does play BFG Edition. It allows you to restore the gameplay to the original, and some other features that were absent. While still having the benefit of playing the game at over 60 FPS.

[solar bough]

Was SGT Kelly supposed to bear some resemblance to R Lee Ermey?

This is all your fault kar-mak

Car mac and cheese

[quasi silo]

It's been a while so my memory is a bit hazy but you need to climb a box, let the arm move the box, and then jump off the box onto the vents on the right

[azure shoal]

Alr imma try this

[wicked kite]

Follow the yellow paint

[azure shoal]

Shush

[azure shoal]

It worked thanks Anome

[median pollen]

@viral lava quad damage

[azure shoal]

Oh my god I'm in Hell

Finally something new

[vale dew]

its been a while since I lasted played doom 3

but i plan on coming back to it for the expansions

[hybrid vapor]

i havent played it since i first got into doom in like 2020

[vale dew]

but rn im trying finish some other game first

[vale dew]

yeah thats sounds about right

after my first playthrough of doom 3, I thought it was fine.

like the most fine shooter ive played

though it does have a good voice cast and the main theme for it is great

[quasi silo]

DOOM 3 is awesome

[scenic stratus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/doom3/mods/1684
Gotta say, loving this mod for Doom 3.

Making my newest replay very tense.

[tawdry fulcrum]

lmao i was struggeling aswell here

i thought i needed something from those boxes, i took them all down to find out they were all useless

[solar bough]

BFG Edition player detected.

[tawdry fulcrum]

real men cry with a flashlight in hand

[solar bough]

That's right.

Play the game the man's way.

[tawdry fulcrum]

im still busy with my very first playthrough on the original version

im thinking to do a second playthough right after with the redux mod

[wicked kite]

There's no shame in playing the far inferior version of Doom 3 instead of the original

[solar bough]

Redux is okay, I just wish it also was compatible with Resurrection of Evil.

Essential HD Pack is.

[tawdry fulcrum]

Didn't even know about this

Can i download it now and continue on a older save file?

[solar bough]

You might be able to use it on your current run.

I do personally recommend using DHEWM3 for Essential HD Pack though if you haven't downloaded that already.

But everyone should be using DHEWM3 always. It's the definitive Doom 3 experience.

[tawdry fulcrum]

I didn't know about any of this. i just popped the disc in, installed it & started playing

[tawdry fulcrum]

I can try installing it but if it doesn't work with my current run it will have to wait. im not planning on restarting.

[solar bough]

It shouldn't erase erase your save. It's just a texture mod.

Although you could try backing up your save.

[tawdry fulcrum]

I tried installing it but now it re-asks for my cd key

fucking great...

[solar bough]

Dhewm3 doesn’t request a CD key.

[tawdry fulcrum]

Oh wait, i cant use my existing desktop shortcut

i need to run via dhewm3.exe

[tawdry fulcrum]

its working now, both dhewm3 and the Essential HD Pack & with my current run.

Thanks alot for this

[vale dew]

the version i played was the bfg edition

[solar bough]

IDK when this claim started, but I hear some people syaing that Doom 3 is supposed to be a prequel to Doom 1.

[whole sphinx]

true and false in my eyes because we have no idea when doom 3 takes place. however, taking absolute doom into account + my own personal opinion, it takes place after doom 64 because of the mention of the martians and the martian hero

however doom 3 and classic doom are not in the same dimension

[wicked kite]

Doom 3 is a sequel to DOOM Eternal

[solar bough]

I don't know if the Martians would have anything to do with the rest of the series.

And also, Doom 3 is set in the year 2145, but Doom 2016 is set in 2149. So it's only a 4 year time gap. And a lot would have to happen within 4 years to lead up to Doom 2016.

Hayden would likely be the one to rebuild the UAC base shortly after Resurrection of Evil, Olivia would have to be manipulated by the Dark Lord at the same time after Betruger got killed by BlueGuy, and Hayden would have to find the coffin Doom Slayer is in. All within 2-4 years!

Just how do you begin to have that make sense?

[woven flower]

I mean, everyone is already a zombie in doom 1.

[whole sphinx]

well this is taking into consideration the possibility that doom 3 takes place in the same universe as the main doom universe

it technically does but the events of d3 do not affect the main series

think of it like this: spider-man (raimi, doom 3 in this case) has an entire trilogy featuring doc ock, green goblin, venom, etc while tom holland’s spider-man features the vulture and mysterio. both are separate universes, but happen at around the same time because the raimiverse is canon to the mcu as seen in no way home

doom 3 has betreuger, the doom marine, etc and those events still happen but they are disconnected from the main continuity

again the martians can be brought into consideration but i still feel that falls along the lines of fan theory/headcanon

[quasi vault]

Its the Doom alternate universe theory where Doom 3 happens but takes place in another universe

[quasi silo]

The theory I find most believable is that there is only one Hell and every Earthly realm connects to it; so Classic DOOM, DOOM 3, and NuDOOM

[quasi vault]

I thought that was was what happening

Cause I hear that a lot

Though my idea of Super Hell is still on the table

[minor edge]

RPG games kinda support this

the hell levels of Doom II RPG have artifacts from Doom 3 and Resurrection

or the rpgs are just in the doom 3 continuity but atp if that's the case who even cares if it's all the same universes

[hybrid vapor]

if im gonna replay doom 3 for the first time since 2020 to get an up to date opinion on it which version would yall reccomend

[minor edge]

original pc version the 2004 version

[hybrid vapor]

understood. i think i played bfg edition on my xbox but not too sure

[wicked kite]

Bfg edition is the only option if you just have a console

[quasi silo]

Not if you have a 360 or OG Xbox

[vale dew]

I actually prefer the bfg edition over the og.

[woven flower]

https://tenor.com/view/catpire-gif-18059911

[craggy stump]

So did the dlcs for Doom 3 use the same ost as the base game? Cause I cant find any music for them

[winter solar]

I mean, it's mostly ambience with a few musical aspects here and there. I think they all have the same ost

[craggy stump]

Oh ok

Im asking cause Im putting together a playlist of all Doom music

[minor edge]

3 new tracks

Erebus, Hunter and Maledict

[craggy stump]

Oh ok, I'll look for those

[winter solar]

Wait what? They added new tracks?

I didn't know that

Good to know

[minor edge]

Erebus plays during Uhh the intro I think, Hunter plays before the Helltime Hunter (iirc) fight and it’s a mixture of the rev and manc themes, and Maledict I think u can guess where it plays

Erebus is actually a pretty neat track

[craggy stump]

I could only find Erebus lol

[timid forge]

good morning everyone

[robust estuary]

I love how Resurrection of Evil floods you with shotgun shells (currently at 199) in an attempt to get you to PLEASE use the SSG
Little do they know, the base game shotgun is already basically a SSG without the drawbacks so all they're doing is giving me more reason to never need to use anything else :)

[wicked kite]

Oh Doom 3 shotgun they will never make me love you

[robust estuary]

DOOM 3 shotgun my beloved

[blazing glade]

i prefer doom 3 ssg, kinda unfortunate it's not in the main game (d3 shotgun feels kinda inconsistent, even at point blank range sometimes, and especially on the OG Xbox version)

[robust estuary]

Feels fine for me (playing OG Xbox right now, actually)
Sometimes it doesn't kill in one shot but most of the time it will, so nothing a second pump can't solve

The SSG having such a long reload time kind of kills it when the base shotgun is already really good. Most of what you'll find are imps or zombiemen anyways so the SSG is overkill in most situations imo

[minor edge]

They’ll never make me hate it

[upbeat gorge]

So um @scenic stratus you remember the scene in the game where Dr. Ishi gets possessed at the start of the invasion

Do the flying skulls that possessed him have a name, they remind me of classic lost souls die to them being flying fiery skulls

But the Lost Souls in Doom 3 have skin

I heard them called Soul Snatchers once but I'm not sure if it's official

[scenic stratus]

The flying skulls don't seem to have a name to my knowledge, since they are just cutscene dressing and not fightable enemies.

Doom 3 has two types of Lost Souls. The normal ones are flying human heads. Resurrection of Evil introduced new ones that look like classic Lost Souls, called Forgotten Ones.

[minor edge]

Id probably count them as lost souls

The flying skulls

[upbeat gorge]

Alright

[robust estuary]

One thing I do think is kind of disappointing about Resurrection of Evil is that there isn't nearly as many audio logs this time around
I liked listening to them in the background while walking around in the base game. It helped the place feel a tiny bit less lonely and were nice to have going in the background

[azure shoal]

Just put on some silly podcast that's what I did

[robust estuary]

Well I still want it to be part of the game, which is why the original audio logs worked so well
It's not just the background noise I enjoy it's that they were talking about stuff relevant to what I was playing

Those audio logs were great at showing how this whole base is being held together by duct tape and glue, and it failing wasn't so much an accident as much as an inevitability with how horribly managed everything was

[azure shoal]

But funny podcast

[robust estuary]

I'm sure playing DOOM 3 with SuperMega in the background is one hell of an experience but that isn't the goal right now

[timid forge]

Wsg yall

[thin vapor]

happy holidays bruh

[timid forge]

Happy holidays to you too

[mellow flame]

I avoided DOOM 3 bug/glitch

[upbeat gorge]

So um probably a dumb idea but I've been deliberating over what name I should go with for the protagonist of Doom 3's base campaign

I'm thinking of either Stan Blazkowicz in reference to the Doom rpg (since according to the website Doom 3 is canon to the RPGs) or John Kane in reference to the Doom 3 novels which were written by the same people who wrote the game Iirc

use this emoji to vote for using the name John Kane and use this emoji to vote for using the name Stan Blazkowicz

[quasi vault]

Why not Flynn Blazkowicz

Mr Marine aka MM

[devout osprey]

I hope to do a speedrun of this game someday.

And if I do it is only approperiate to do it on the Windows 2000 PC.

[minor edge]

John Kane is the correct name

[upbeat gorge]

saving the name Flynn for the Classic marine/Doom slayer

[upbeat gorge]

Welp John Kane it is

Oml, i messed it up hang on, i gotta send the screenshots again 😭

Nvm, now Vega wont let me :/

I'll figure it out

[quasi silo]

Send it in #screenshots

[craggy stump]

Ok

[craggy stump]

I sent them

[dull fossil]

anyone play on librecoop

[gaunt oasis]

Would buy Doom 3 VR compatible with PSVR 2 or on PC. Would spend $20.

[robust estuary]

Man I really hope they update DOOM 3 (and VFR while they're at it) for PSVR2

It's dumb that not every PSVR game is compatible with the 2. Even stuff like Wipeout or the Sega Genesis collection isn't either afaik

[trim berry]

I can't get over the Doom 3 theme song being straight up Lateralus by Tool. Takes me back to Bobby Prince ripping off Slayer for a decent chunk of the OST.

Leads me to believe that had the game had a more involved soundtrack that was mixed front and center like in the older/newer games the sound would've been along those lines instead of the contemporary djent stuff.

[quasi silo]

The fact the theme never plays during gameplay is criminal

[minor edge]

i was hoping it would in the penultimate level or something

i wish it played in RoE, doom 3 is fine with the ambience but RoE feels like it needs proper music at some point

[robust estuary]

At least have something for the Maledict

One shuffle towards a remaster...

[misty abyss]

Monkey paw curls

[azure shoal]

I finished doom 3!

That ending is really jarring btw

A total of 16 hrs spent

[minor edge]

i love doom 3's ending it's so horror movie core

[azure shoal]

I can see that

Gives me goosebumps vibes

The old show not the movies

[azure shoal]

Also betruger laughs like garmadon

[hidden moat]

Ironically for me the Vagary and Hell Guard were the most difficult bosses than Kelly and Cyberdemon

[azure shoal]

Kelly's arena is weird

Really easy to fall off if you're not looking

[hidden moat]

I lauched soul cube and then loaded him with rockets

[quasi silo]

This is the common consensus

[median pollen]

yes

[hearty echo]

anyone know how I can buy the bfg edition of the game without buying the original and reserection of evil?

dont want the clutter on my library or profile

Steam

[misty abyss]

you don't

buying either of them will get you all 3

[quasi silo]

Microsoft Store or EGS. Or just anything on console

[winter solar]

There's a feature on steam that let's you hide games in your game library

[woven flower]

You choose what to install. But you own them all.

[tawdry fulcrum]

wanting to buy the bfg edition at all should be a criminal offence

why tf would you wanna play the bfg?? Just play the Original with a HD Pack

https://www.moddb.com/mods/d3hdp-doom-3-essential-hd-pack

[hearty echo]

Achievements

But I already refunded it so it’s cool

[quasi silo]

The BFG hate is boring it's not even that bad

[tawdry fulcrum]

Original is way better

[quasi silo]

It is

But BFG isn't a nightmarish abomination lol, it's just a worse way to play an amazing game, and in the end it's still a really fun time

[tawdry fulcrum]

No thats true, Doom 3 remains an amazing game. playing the BFG edition will negatively effect your experience in only very minor ways. But if new people are looking into playing this gem, we should always try & convince them to play the original (optionally with a source port, HD pack). Its simply the best way to experience the game.

i'd hate for new people to miss out on an occasional imp in a dark corner

[quasi silo]

BFG is worse and if available I do recommend the original, but if it's somebody's only choice it's not bad (imo at least)

[woven flower]

I remember I couldn't beat doom 3 as a kid. And then played BFG and thought it was easy.
The minor differences do add up. Not to say BFG is terrible, but it is a substantially different game.

[eager mauve]

I'm interested in knowing how in the original Doom 3 I can save autosaves for all the laboratories, Alpha and Delta, like the save games I have from the internet, and also for Mars_city1, since it only saves the last new one I reach.

[upbeat gorge]

Is there some sort of alternative to the cutting room floor as Doom 3's page on TCRF is rather incomplete

[woven flower]

Looking into all the test builds is your best bet

[tawdry fulcrum]

what about you put all save files in a seperate folder & swap them in and out your savegames folder for what you wanna use?

[solar bough]

What would be the closest to a “Brutal Doom 3” mod?

[whole aurora]

What’s a good source port?

[solar bough]

The only one really out there for the original is Dhewm3.

[whole aurora]

Sweet, thanks

[solar bough]

BFG Edition does have more options for source ports like RBDoom3BFG or CSTDoom3-BFG. But all the same goal to sort of fix up BFG Edition in their own ways.

[whole aurora]

I would prefer OG 3, I want that -ATMOSPHERE-

[eager mauve]

I was thinking more of a Command.

[harsh shadow]

Dhewm 3 it is

[solar bough]

+Essential HD Pack.

Those 2 paired together is the definitive Doom 3 experience.

[hidden moat]

https://youtu.be/dxR7JKQp2_M
The best vid about the shotgun

[dusk blaze]

I reccomend Dhewm 3 as well, it lets you play the Lost Mission without BFG Edition

[harsh shadow]

I keep saying that... It's the ultimate Doom 3 experience... high res textures and the DHEWM3 port

with EAX turned on... with 5.1 surround sound or better

[solar bough]

Well, yes. But Doom 3 does deserve a bit of a facelift.

And also, the mod is not removeable. Once you install it, it's permanently embedded into Dhewm3.

Cursed of Binding.

[unkempt flax]

@everyone Can someone plis help with doing achievements in doom 3? The achievements are: kill an enemy after jumping into the teleporter after them, catch an enemy player in the Reeactor of Frag Chamber, kill an 5 enemy while using invisibility and kill two enemies in the same room with a rocket

[nocturne marsh]

Please don't ping everyone. Not everyone has DOOM 3, amigo.

[unkempt flax]

ok sorry but can you help me with it?

[nocturne marsh]

Sorry. I don't have DOOM 3, but I might get it in the future.

[hidden moat]

I have a question: why do ticks exist in the game they are rarer than trites but have less health and in smaller groups they are. They have identical AI.

[quasi silo]

Same reason we have Hell Knights and Barons I suppose

[quasi vault]

Padding out the enemy roster

But for real its just monster variants

Its easier to just make a weaker version of a tank enemy for balancing rather than making a whole new enemy with different ai and shit

Though modern Doom does really well making Barons and Knights two different enemies

[twin eagle]

I’m actually playing it right now

Is there anyway to uncap the framerate in vanilla Doom 3?

[crisp remnant]

Hi

[vale dew]

hey

im gonna get back to doom 3 but its gonna be a while

mainly to play the expansions for it

[versed estuary]

The expansions are the best part

[misty abyss]

don't worry about it, expansions are pretty short

[vale dew]

they might actually be better than the main game

[vale dew]

just like the lost levels expansion in doom 64

[misty abyss]

i think i spent more on lost levels than both D3 expansions tho

[vale dew]

you spent more time on that?

I could play the expansions after I play the metriod prime games

[solar bough]

Is Dhewm3 really necessary?

[quasi silo]

Nope

[robust estuary]

Nope [2]
DOOM 3 still runs really well on modern hardware. You may have to change a few values in a config file but that's the most you'll need to do

[dull pumice]

My favorite doom game is doom 3 🙂

[versed estuary]

Its my second favorite ‘especially roe abd lost mission

[midnight patrol]

Hey legends, I am needing to get the multiplayer trophies for the PS3 edition of doom 3 BFG edition, I was wondering if anyone would want to help me?

[gray marten]

The doom three shotgun spread is crazy

[livid wharf]

Weird question: does the “final boss” flag protect against being telefragged? Like if a map put the cyberdemon on a teleport destination, would telefragging work?

[livid wharf]

My suggestion is to try the Weapons of Mars Destruction mod. Comes with a number of good weapon changes but reworking the shotgun to be close range instead of effectively a melee weapon was the biggest one

[gray marten]

Aight

[unkempt flax]

Can someone plis help with doing achievements in doom 3? The achievements are: kill an enemy after jumping into the teleporter after them, catch an enemy player in the Reeactor of Frag Chamber, kill an 5 enemy while using invisibility and kill two enemies in the same room with a rocket.

i assume so?

[livid wharf]

That’d be so funny

Yep they do! I was able to get into 1 game with 1 other person after about 2 hours of waiting haha

They left though

[fallow remnant]

i remember last year i found someone in a server

we became friends but my account got hacked :(

[quasi silo]

I met somebody too on a RoE server but we just played normally a bit

[slate void]

I never thought I would own 5ish copies of doom 3 but now I do

[zenith willow]

I start spinning after I use a panel in Doom 3 BFG edition with Xbox.

[solar bough]

Vanilla Doom 3 is labeled playable on Steam Deck, but BFG Edition is labeled unverified.

[quartz rose]

This game is deadass horrifying

But I love it

[zenith willow]

I agree I just hate that the shotgun not the best anymore unless you're playing with DLC with the super shotgun.

[zenith willow]

I meant the doom 3 BFG edition

[versed estuary]

The base shotgun can instakill most enemies

[solar bough]

?

[zenith willow]

With my character spinning around after I use a panel.

[zenith willow]

Only if you get real close.

[solar bough]

I don’t even know what that looks like.

[versed estuary]

Yes? Like how the game is meant to be played?

[zenith willow]

Well you're supposed to do it from a range so you at least can dodge the projectiles from most enemies

[zenith willow]

Actually I think it may be because of aim assist so I might turn that off to see what happens.

[versed estuary]

That’s what dodging and the super fast sprint is for

[zenith willow]

Yeah but not at that close to a distance touching them.

[versed estuary]

Yep

[solar bough]

I have no idea know how else to help you. I only play vanilla Doom 3.

[versed estuary]

You can

Nightmare difficulty makes it so you take an insane amount of damage more and I’ve done it many many times over. Just dodge and sprint and shotgun point blank

[zenith willow]

Alright it does work like that it's just that I like using more long-range things anyway.

[zenith willow]

This is what happens every time I use a panel I don't know why my triggers are hall effect triggers:
https://www.xbox.com/play/media/tFfXgpnYgL

[versed estuary]

Which is fair. But it’s designed for close range. It’s not bad when used properly

[zenith willow]

I agree it can shoot a tentacle Monster and kill it in two shots on marine difficulty.

[solar bough]

Camera movement has nothing to do with triggers.

[zenith willow]

Oh okay still I don't really know why it happens.

[solar bough]

Right stick and gyro control camera (Obviously).

[versed estuary]

Odd

[versed estuary]

Xbox doesn’t have gyro

[zenith willow]

Yeah I was going to say it doesn't have gyro.

[versed estuary]

Very strange bug

It’s only when you use panels right?

[zenith willow]

Yes

[versed estuary]

Id suggest making a ticket to Bethesda support so they can look into it.

[zenith willow]

It's a super old game though I don't know the really try to fix it oh wait no this is the remaster they probably will.

[solar bough]

BFG Edition is still pretty old.

Released 8 years after the vanilla game.

[zenith willow]

I'm playing Doom 3 from 2020 that's what I meant from the remaster.

[solar bough]

That version isn’t even called BFG Edition, and lacks Doom 1 and 2 that BFG Edition on Steam, Xbox 360 and PS3 have.

[zenith willow]

Good to know.

[zenith willow]

Which kind of technical support or in game support? Just curious

[solar bough]

Well regarding BFG Edition’s mixed reception, it’s not quite sunshine and rainbows. It’s just an excuse to have Doom 3 on Xbox Series X, PS5, and Switch 2.

[zenith willow]

I realised that one now not every bug can be fixed. But as Bethesda says it just works.

https://tenor.com/view/it-just-works-tod-todd-howard-тоддговард-fallout-skyrim-gif-14803660

[versed estuary]

Doom 3 is an id software game

[solar bough]

I meant more as in the weird changes BFG Edition has compared to the original. The environments are way brighter, flashlight is shoulder mounted, and ammo pickups are increased, among other changes.

[versed estuary]

Removal of numerous enemies as well

[zenith willow]

Luckily the HDR effect fixes that problem because it actually looks better and still more gruesome.

[versed estuary]

Well brighter is the keyword not “worse”

[zenith willow]

Flashlight things not fixed though

[solar bough]

You’ll have to calibrate it to make everything very dark.

[zenith willow]

I have and it works pretty well.

[versed estuary]

Environments still look very good. It’s just the game was meant so you could only really see with flashlight

Or muzzle flashes

[solar bough]

And my monitor is only HDR10, which sucks.

[versed estuary]

I can only imagine OG doom 3 with oled

[solar bough]

Steam Deck OLED exists.

And the Legion Go 2.

[versed estuary]

Yes and I do not own that

[solar bough]

Main issue I have with HDR on PC is it causes the desktop to all washed out, even after adjusting the “SDR content” brightness.

And when I started up a game, and closed it while HDR is on, the desktop would appear very bright unless I turn HDR back off.

Might just be because HDR just doesn’t work properly in Windows.

[solar bough]

Don’t know what you mean by that.

[zenith willow]

I mean it's not like on the shoulder.

[zenith willow]

Yeah that happens to me too I just play on Xbox because it works better.

[solar bough]

The vanilla game didn’t have a shoulder mounted light. Id intended to have the light mounted like in BFG Edition, but it was never implemented.

Instead, they made it its own weapon.

[solar bough]

That and there’s different HDR values or however else it’s described. My monitor uses HDR10. But there are others that are HDR400 or even HDR600.

[zenith willow]

Yeah I do remember that because I think I did play Doom 3 by itself at some stage.

[solar bough]

PC or original Xbox?

[zenith willow]

I think it was the original Xbox but on the Xbox 360 backwards compatible thing I think I do remember doing it I just don't know which platform is years ago though.

[solar bough]

Couldn’t you just use an Original Xbox Doom 3 disc on an Xbox Series X?

[solar bough]

Doom 3 was built upon dark places. BFG Edition threw a wrench in that whole aspect.

[robust estuary]

Unfortunately DOOM 3s original Xbox port is not playable on Series S/X afaik
Only BFG Edition is

[viscid zephyr]

is this game worth trying

[quasi vault]

200% yes

[viscid zephyr]

like am I missing out on anything with this part of the franchise

[quasi vault]

Doom 3 and its expansions are peak

Best depiction of Hell and the coolest demon design in the franchise

Haters of Doom 3 are just wrong in every way

I genuinely love Doom 3

If you want bad Doom games Doom rpg 1&2 are it

[robust estuary]

100%
DOOM 3 is insanely good
