doom-3

[robust estuary]

Personally speaking it's my favorite one.
DOOM 3 is a game that gets a bad rep because people parrot ecelebs instead of playing it for themselves
-# a bit of an exaggeration but the point is DOOM 3 is one of those games you really need to play for yourself to have any opinion on

[quasi silo]

This happens to so many other id games it's kinda funny

Quake 4, Wolfenstein, RAGE, etc

[quasi vault]

Quake 4 is meh

I don’t hate it but it really was just forgettable to me

[quasi silo]

You did play it at least

[quasi vault]

Yeah

[quasi silo]

Love the game, don't care if anyone else think it sucks, as long as it's THEIR opinion and not someone else's 😌

[quasi vault]

I don’t form actual opinions until I play it

[quasi silo]

Based?

[quasi vault]

Which lead to me playing games I usually wouldn’t like Last Of Us 2

[robust estuary]

Cringe
Everyone knows your opinion should always be a mirror of your favorite youtuber

[quasi vault]

What if your favorite YTber doesn’t give an opinion on something?

[robust estuary]

Then neither do I

[quasi vault]

I cannot agree with this bit

[robust estuary]

Huh? Gta v?
Don't care about it, sorry

If your favorite yter doesn't have an opinion then obv the game is an unimportant nothingburger game

[robust estuary]

good because I hate this bit

[quasi vault]

I gotta say, I still didn’t like TLOU2

Give it mediocre game of the year

Its gameplay is really good though

[robust estuary]

Didn't even like tlou1 that much so I never bothered with 2
I just remember all the memes being made about it tbh

[quasi vault]

Another game I tried and didn’t like was Ico

Honestly playing the Shadow Of The Colossus games were kinda painful

Ico was probably one of the worst games I played in 2024

While Colossus remake and Last Guardian are fun

[hidden moat]

I prefer lost mission over ROE and base game.

[misty abyss]

I love lost mission as well

[versed estuary]

Lost mission is a really nice hour long gun fest

But I like roe the best since it’s a perfect blend of base game and lost mission.
Only around 3 hours with really good pacing and story and a juicy final boss

[snow phoenix]

Absolutely

I played Doom 3 in VR and I've enjoyed every moment of it, it's a great survival horror game with a doom spin on it

I don't understand the hate, Doom 3 and Quake 4 are phenomenal

[upbeat gorge]

https://youtu.be/Ux7PwgS07JI?si=bVdnYoLc6hIElRe7 oh I thought Commandos were made in the lab not transformed on the spot

[misty abyss]

Hell magic bullshit

[quasi vault]

Doomguy just needs to become a fucking wizard

[robust estuary]

Heretic:

[quasi vault]

Heretic isn’t magic, Hexen is

Corvus is magical in Heretic II though

[cyan rose]

what version of doom 3 sshpuld i play cause i got the anthology and theres 3 different ones

[robust estuary]

The original 2004 PC release

If that isn't an option, then the original xbox port if by some miracle you have access to it
Whatever you pick, BFG Edition (and the 2019 rerelease) should be your last resort

[versed estuary]

For the sake of everything just working, stick with the newest release. And turn brightness to the lowest setting.
It also comes with roe and lost mission built in

The original doom3 is technically the best one, but can be finicky to get working at times

And doesn’t have lost mission

[cyan rose]

im running on steam deck atm if that helps at all

[robust estuary]

DOOM 3 works pretty well on modern hardware from my experience, though no idea how it runs on a deck

[versed estuary]

You “should” be fine with the original one then

I ended up using the dhewm 3 source port on my steamdeck

[cyan rose]

i just got the games on steam i have no idea about other ports
i never actually played through it despite having it on ps cause i just couldnt find the time lol

[robust estuary]

If you have the steam release then you have access to 2004, it comes with it now

[versed estuary]

If you want my full suggestion then I would stick with the newest re release. I believe out the box the initial doom 3 has issues on deck

[cyan rose]

one thing for sure
never seen a pc game code on a steam game before

[versed estuary]

Which was why I ended up using a sourceport. Resolution and controler issues with the original doom 3 on deck

And I hate having to use source ports

So just stick with the 2019 release and lower the brightness

[cyan rose]

k

2019 is bfg yeah?

[versed estuary]

Yes

[cyan rose]

ok

[versed estuary]

Well actually what options do you see on steam

[cyan rose]

oh it does autofill the code but controlling the menu is defo wacky

im not sure what exactly you mean though

[versed estuary]

I will just say this about doom 3

Don’t be afraid to sprint forward and shotgun at point blank

The shotgun is one of the strongest guns in the game and can instakill most enemies

[cyan rose]

ive played dusk ive already hit peak lobotomite shotgun charge dw 🫡

[versed estuary]

But it is designed to work at very close ranges

Excellent

[robust estuary]

And get used to crouching
There's a good bit of attacks that can be avoided if you time a crouch right

[versed estuary]

^^

[cyan rose]

never ask a man his salary
a woman her age, and a fps coder the actual real life range of a shotgun

amyways thanks for the advice, hope you all have a good day

[brittle venture]

who else grew up with this?

the ps3 doom 1, 2, and 3 pack

[prime whale]

FPS gamers when they shoot an actual shotgun and realize it has an effective range of 50 yards instead of 50 inches

[zenith willow]

How loud is that panic button logo whenever I boot up Doom 3 I feel like my ears are going to bust.

[quasi silo]

DOOM 3 is a perfect game wdym https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1180586669037068340/1456812530864230744/imp.mp4?ex=6959b9e5&is=69586865&hm=d34c1187f54c3239f1be5b1f6a14461125a6f52b1761418b9d906c3a972da62d&

[zenith willow]

That with the super shotgun

Who here likes the grabber from resurrection of evil because I don't I just start throwing myself into the imps orbs

[prime whale]

no bugs whatsoever

[misty abyss]

Mf got dragged into super hell

[scenic stratus]

Calcium Dream

[solar bough]

BFG Edition moment.

[zenith willow]

It looks like the spinning around thing after using a panel has now been fixed after I just reinstalled the game.

[zenith willow]

Forget it still broken.

[zenith willow]

Can someone explain to me what dlc lost mission is? Because I don't really understand what the story is of it.

[robust estuary]

Lost Mission is a small campaign released with BFG Edition that's a few levels that were removed from the original game put together and made playable again

With a newish story to try to tie it all together

[zenith willow]

Are you playing from a different perspective with the story? Just curious

[robust estuary]

Yep

Different protagonist

All 3 DOOM 3 campaigns have someone separate

[zenith willow]

Thought so just had to double check because I had that assumption with a lost mission.

I thought resurrection of evil was with the same marine from the original Doom 3 but I guess with a different marine then it was still a fun DLC though

[robust estuary]

Fun DLC definitely!
And nah, RoE does involve a different protag. I forget if he got a specific name or not though, DOOM 3 is kind of hidey with that info

[zenith willow]

Good to know. Thanks for helping me get out of the confusion.

[robust estuary]

👍 Np!

[solar bough]

How common is BFG Edition played when it comes to speedruns compared to vanilla Doom 3?

[junior radish]

is there any place for getting bfg edition mods

the only mods ive been able to find are only for the original

[snow phoenix]

Doom 3 > Doom 1993

[winter solar]

Disagree. I love both of them equally

[snow phoenix]

Good point

[marsh lodge]

Oh hell nah

[solar bough]

The only real mods for BFG Edition are just sourceports that add some enhancements of their own.

RBDoom3BFG is the most common one.

[solid minnow]

my brother said doom 3 sucks ass

is he right i never played it ive only seen gameplay

[junior radish]

boo womp

i wanted to 100% the game on steam aswell as install some mods to spice up the game in the process

[robust estuary]

Well, everyone has a right to an opinion even if it is incorrect
Personally I think DOOM 3 is amazing. Best way to know is to play it yourself and form an opinion

[solid minnow]

my brother played only 29 minutes

[robust estuary]

That is def not enough to judge an entire game's quality, so take what he says with a grain of salt

[junior radish]

i dont think hes even gotten a shotgun yet

he saw his first zombie and was like "nah man this fucking sucks" and uninstalled

[solid minnow]

look at his steam profile to see

its on my account

[snow phoenix]

Your brother is wrong

[harsh shadow]

turn the lights off use surround sound speakers or surround sound headphones turn on EAX 4.0 using DHEWM3 and you have an immersive masterpiece

Make sure to get the high res texture packs too. there should be AI upres packs

[snow phoenix]

(Or play it in VR like I did)

[harsh shadow]

I'd add that. funny enough I've actually never played anything in VR yet

[snow phoenix]

I got Doom 3 just for the VR mod, and it was a creepy, immersive and enjoyable masterpiece

The graphics were insane in VR

[solid minnow]

doom VFR sucks though never play doom VFR

do doom 3 VR instead

[snow phoenix]

VFR does not suck

VFR is great

[solid minnow]

vfr makes you motion sick because of the damn dashing

[snow phoenix]

Not really, I played with smooth movement on

[zenith willow]

I have officially beat Doom 3 and all expansions
in 42 hours in total with 29 out of 44 achievements.
|| (resurrection of evil and lost mission) ||

[solar bough]

Lossless Scaling made my Doom 3 experience 10 times better.

Using the frame gen, I can play Doom 3 above 60 FPS. Like I can do in every other Doom game.

[zenith willow]

We don't need frame gen though the game looks great even at a low frame rate.

[solar bough]

I mean sure. Frame Gen is a little pointless. But if every other Doom game can go above 60 FPS in any way with modern sourceports, why can't Doom 3 do the same?

Besides BFG Edition of course.

And in my end, Doom 3 does not look smooth at all at 62 FPS.

[zenith willow]

Here is a funny fact every achievement on Doom 3 for Xbox series S/X is rare which means most people that have brought doom 3 have never beaten it because they didn't like it.

[prime whale]

can't say I'm surprised

[versed estuary]

Well it also counts people who simply own it and haven’t played it as well

And they have sold many many doom bundles that included 3 with it

[junior radish]

calling 60 fps low is biblical levels of gluttony

[zenith willow]

Not really I had a school computer in high school and it could only run doom at 60 fps and I didn't really care.

[misty abyss]

It's ok, we had a guy there saying that anything below 240 is unplayable

[wicked citrus]

it is if your computer can easily go higher

im a 144 fps enjoyer and tbh there isn't much difference if you arent too much of a nitpicker

[wicked citrus]

probably playing Doom 64 on a 5090

[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. Write to me on priv

[mossy wing]

I beaten Doom 3 on the Nintendo switch

[eager mauve]

By modifying the .script files, perhaps also the ai_monster_base.script, can I prevent monsters in Notarget mode from all attacking me like with Nolip?

[remote onyx]

Hi i have doom 3 for the pc but it wont let me type in thr full cd key what am i doing wrong

Doom for windows xp

[zenith willow]

I know some people feel like Doom 3 is completely different from the other doom games but I still loved playing it.

[junior radish]

tbh doom eternal is more different to the other doom games than doom 3 is

i dont really get much when people say doom 3 isnt a doom game when if you think about it, it is pretty similar to doom 1

[versed estuary]

^ funny enough for as much as it’s praised. Doom eternal is the one that deviates the most from being a doom game . While Doom 3 is part of the actual vision the devs wanted but were limited by tech at the start

[junior radish]

i wish getting mods for bfg edition was more convenient

i found some mods but apparently they are like a different launcher and disable steam achievevements so you gotta install another third party software which i dont really know how to use

i just want my centered viewmodels

[dull lance]

...

Doom 3 has jumpscares (horrible ones), you don't get a gun until 1h 30 mins of game (aprox.) and there's no metal. Objective is terror, not killing demons.

In Doom Eternal, you follow a single path: Kill every demon you approach. As well, Doom 64/1993/1994 are the same thing.

Just that the map is bigger.

And another things that DO NOT deviate the experience.

[quasi silo]

"You don't get a gun until 1h 30 mins of game (aprox.)"
That is probably the worst approximation I have ever seen

[misty abyss]

Doom Eternal gameplay wise is definitely closer to quake than it is to Doom, but Quake in the state we got was envisioned as "Doom in 3D" so i guess it technically loops back to being Doom?

[quasi silo]

You're also forgetting the fact that DOOM has had horror elements since its inception, DOOM 3 strengthening the horror and DOOM 2016 strengthening the action are both deviations

Then in DOOM Eternal they went all out with the action and completely disregarded the horror. I'm not dogging on the game but it is the most deviating of them all

[misty abyss]

at worst it's 30 mins but even then it means that you done more than enough sight seeing

[quasi silo]

Isn't it like 15 minutes? If it took vro one and a half hours to reach it I think they just kept pausing to look at the beautiful scenery and keep building their secret love for the game 😌

[misty abyss]

lol

but yeah, i think it took me around 10 mins because I didn't really bother interacting with stuff before shit hits the fan

Base getting overrun by demons is definitely a gaming moment of all time

[junior radish]

bro was doing anything but trying to meet sergeant kelly

[junior radish]

doom eternal is a direct evolution of quakes gameplay tbh

the immense focus on verticality and resource management just makes the game feel a lot like quake

[woven flower]

Doom 3

[mild hedge]

yes

[graceful moon]

Just started doom 3

[versed estuary]

Nice!

Don’t be afraid to use that sprint and shove the shotgun into their faces. It can instakill most enemies

[dull lance]

The horror isn't the problem. Doom got metal, the 3 doesn't.

[versed estuary]

Doom 64 doesn’t have metal

[dull lance]

And apologizes for the gun aprox. I thought I got it at 1h 30 when it was earlier.

[versed estuary]

Doom psx doesn’t have metal

[dull lance]

Yet Doom 64 got guns since the first moment.

In Doom 3 you don't until 15-30 mins.

Doom isn't Doom without metal/guns.

[versed estuary]

Very very inaccurate

And you clearly do get guns

[dull lance]

Since the beggining?

[versed estuary]

And that matters how?

[dull lance]

I mean, the first second you get in match you get at least a pistol in Doom 1/2/64

[quasi silo]

Guns I can see, but saying DOOM isn't DOOM without metal is kinda your own belief and not necessarily the truth. I could go for a good DOOM game that has little metal... we've had two and they've both been good

[dull lance]

I mean NO METAL. Like not a bit, just no metal.

[quasi silo]

Okay so you're describing no DOOM game whatsoever

[versed estuary]

Well ackhatually the walls are made of metal

[dull lance]

Oh yeah guns too

[versed estuary]

Yep yep

And bullets

[dull lance]

Wait

Doomslayer armor is made of metal

[versed estuary]

Actually it’s not made of metal it’s made of a special type of element harvested from different dimensions

Speaking of

[dull lance]

Oh

I thought it had pieces of metal

[versed estuary]

Doom is only hell and humanity,

So modern doom going into cosmic realms and other dimensions and multiverses is straying VERY far from the doom formula

[dull lance]

Gotta say

[versed estuary]

And more so becoming quake

[quasi silo]

And Hexen

[dull lance]

I'm not defending modern doom

[versed estuary]

So modern doom is actually quake and hexen

[dull lance]

tho I like it,

doesn't mean you're wrong

[versed estuary]

Doom 3 is the vision the devs had for doom they couldn’t do with their limited tech back in doom 1.
Which is why doom 3 is a reboot

And then doom 4 was supposed to be set during hell on earth when the earth is invaded and we see buildings collapsing and enemies appearing and more

I will forever be upset we never got the hell on earth invasion doom game

[dull lance]

I mean

Not at all

If we get dumb we can take DOOM Eternal as that game

[quasi silo]

DOOM II

[versed estuary]

Which is not even close to the hell on earth doom4 was supposed to be ;-;

[dull lance]

DOOM II is on earth?

Btw I always wished what UAC means

[versed estuary]

Humans and soldiers running around getting slaughtered

[quasi silo]

The first chapter is yes

[dull lance]

What does

UAC mean

[quasi silo]

Union Aerospace Corporation

[versed estuary]

Union Aerospace Corporation

[versed estuary]

Damn too fast for me

[dull lance]

I thought

[versed estuary]

You get the win

[quasi silo]

I spelled it wrong and only corrected it after you spelled it right, YOU win

[versed estuary]

I share half of my victory with you

[quasi silo]

Good ending

[dull lance]

Now lets do it again to get the bad one

🙏💔

[versed estuary]

Ok steal both your wins snd I get free chicken nuggets

[dull lance]

Noooooo! I wanted these nuggets!

😠

[quasi silo]

A disagreement turning into chicken nugget discussion is the best possible ending

[versed estuary]

After I finish my doom 2016 replay I’m def going back and replaying doom 3 roe and lost mission

[quasi silo]

I need to replay Hexen

[dull lance]

The fact that

I get stuck on that tower

pisses me off

[versed estuary]

Hexen and heretic I’ll finally be able to play the first time this year once my switch 2 physical arrives

[quasi silo]

Nice, I hope you enjoy. I played through Hexen II and Heretic II for the first time last month, replayed Heretic to wrap it up, but now I feel the urge to replay Hexen too with a new class

I gotta replay DOOM 3 too tbh

[dull lance]

For my personal thoughts, its shit

At least its not slop games though

[versed estuary]

I will say once you learn to spam the sprint in doom 3 it def goes a bit faster.

I do agree doom 3s base campaign feels a bit slow at times ( in its defense, they cut so so many demons in this remaster)

But roe and lost mission if anything exceed the enemy count of doom 2016

[quasi silo]

One man's trash is another man's treasure

[dull lance]

fr fr

Anyway DOOM is DOOM

[versed estuary]

Oh actually speaking of

[versed estuary]

Have you played the roe or lost mission expansion?

[dull lance]

Uhhh I just played it

Then quit it because I didn't like it

I don't remember where I stopped playing

[versed estuary]

That’s a shame. Both of those expansions are significantly faster paced than the base game and have way way more enemies and the ssg

[dull lance]

I personally don't like it

[versed estuary]

Not to mention the most beautiful hell we have ever recieved and never got again in modern dooms

[dull lance]

I think

[quasi silo]

RoE is developed by our good friends at Nerve (RIP) who also did NRFTL and the Unity ports, so no wonder it's fire

[versed estuary]

Im still upset, a doom eternal cocnept art shows we almost got doom lost mission hell in doom eternal

But eternal went too Arcady artstyle wise

[quasi silo]

I really dislike that criticism like this of Eternal, i.e. that it's too "gamey" is met with people saying "it's a game" especially when it comes to the Final Sin OST, it reminds me of people saying "you control the buttons you press" to genuine valid gameplay criticism

[versed estuary]

I do like me some game, but I also REALLY liked 2016s heavier and darker aesthetic

Even when 2016 added color it still felt appropriate to its aesehtic

[quasi silo]

I love dark games. Loved seeing Quake 4 be a super grim game despite being a sequel to probably the cheesiest id game of all time

[versed estuary]

It’s kinda why I do prefer TDA more than eternal, it feels more like the sequel to 2016 I wanted

Still some parts a little too arcady but also now it’s Medievil which yes please

[quasi silo]

I'm still split on the medieval aesthetic

[versed estuary]

Fair fair

I just feel it’s at least sorta a step back to 2016s roots in a way

[quasi silo]

Oh yeah the darker vibe is definitely closer to 2016 than Eternal was I agree

It's just that going from a sci-fi franchise to medieval is a bit jarring, I won't say it doesn't feel like DOOM though, cuz it's definitely something I can get used to; the issue is that it feels too much like Hexen, imo

[versed estuary]

Ah no I 100% can agree

Eternal and TDA adding all of these realms and universes feels on the one hand cool
On the other hand like we are stealing from quake or hexen

[quasi silo]

Cosmic realm eh I think that's barely reminiscent of Quake, but it's enough for me to think that if we got a new Quake 1 style game there'd be people saying it feels like a cheap TDA

[quasi silo]

Expanding the plot is cool especially with how weak it usually is in this franchise but for two games they sure added a lot really fast, two factions being introduced within two games when before that for 25+ years we only had two in general is wild

[versed estuary]

Yeeeee

[quasi silo]

I'm much happier with TDA as a continuation than I am with Eternal though

Not to say Eternal is a bad game in general, I adore it, but going from 2016 to Eternal is a big jump in tone. It reminds me of TNO to TNC

[versed estuary]

That reminds me I need to do TNO after my 2016 replay

[quasi silo]

First time or replay?

[versed estuary]

First time

I’ve only played old blood and Youngblood

[quasi silo]

Oh boy

You're gonna leap right into a game full of peak

[versed estuary]

If it’s even half as peak as old blood illl be happy

[quasi silo]

It's double as peak

[versed estuary]

Oh that’s mighty praise then

[quasi silo]

I said TOB was my least favorite from the quadrilogy a bit ago but I'm starting to think I like it more than I did Youngblood

TNO though. Forever number one from the entire franchise. Maybe even my favorite game of all time. Just so damn good

[junior radish]

doom is just that profitable of a franchise that instead of making a new quake or hexen game they just put quake and hexen into doom

[runic echo]

Hot take: I think that DOOM 3 is a solid and superb DOOM title, and that the BFG Edition is a solid remaster of DOOM 3.

[quasi silo]

That's pretty based

Maybe not exactly that it's a "solid" remaster, it's a tolerable one imo, it's just not as bad as people make it out to be. You're still gonna experience a good game

[quasi vault]

Doom 3 is peak and anyone who says otherwise shall be fed the the creature

[quasi vault]

If they do another Doom 3 remaster it should be called Doom 3: Unmaker Edition

And then make a new expansion with it

Shit maybe make it the Cube Edition

[misty abyss]

Doom 3 is honestly long overdue a proper complete edition, BFG edition is nice but having all in one collection that has best features of both versions of the game would be perfect

[misty abyss]

That'd be really cool! Would be also an opportunity to bridge it further with modern Doom games

[quasi vault]

Yeah, I like Doom 3 being a separate universe, it gives more leeway for Doom horror games

Sure you have Slayer now but you also have Doom 3’s marine who you could put through the horror ringer

[junior radish]

man doom 3s shotgun is such a love hate weapon

its so satisfying when it works but horrendous when it doesnt

it is a glorified melee weapon but damn does it feel so good to land every pellet and instantly desintegrate an imp or soldier

[quasi vault]

Yeah, its definitely just a melee weapon

[quasi silo]

Which works with the game's tight corridors

[junior radish]

gotta love the whack a mole sections when imps start spawning in one by one

[winter solar]

DOOM³: CUBED Edition

[pure fox]

I absolutely loved Doom 3. People can hate all they want.

But for me Doom 3 was great. I swear some people just want to be negative over changes as drastic as Doom 3 was from Doom and Doom 2 and Final Doom.

Oh no it’s different!! I must hate it!!!!!

Nah I loved it.

[junior radish]

doom 3 is different mfs when i show them doom eternal

[pure fox]

What?

[quasi silo]

Eternal is arguably also a diversion from the originals, possibly even a bigger one

[pure fox]

Well, I wasn’t talking about Eternal. And my own view of what I said doesn’t change. Nor does my view of people who hate on various games just for being different. It’s childish.

[quasi silo]

We weren't changing your view, we were agreeing with it if anything. Saying that people hating DOOM 3 for being different need to realize Eternal is different too

[versed barn]

DOOM 3 is basically "what if we take classic doom and make it scarier and more immersive" and the new games are "what if we take classic doom and push it even more to the extreme"

Their two ends of the spectrum, neither is necessarily more or less "like DOOM" (except maybe TDA, that one's pushing it)

[quasi silo]

TDA's atmosphere is Hexen III. Still a great game though

[misty abyss]

So called Doom fans when game isn't Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal

[junior radish]

tbh doom 3 is very similar to doom 1 imo

both go for the same thing its just that doom 3 has the technology to realize doom 1s original vision better

[junior radish]

tda does seem like a good game but it just doesnt look like doom in the slightest

[quasi silo]

DOOM game that cannibalizes both Hexen and Quake at once

[junior radish]

god forbid we get an actual new hexen or quake title

[misty abyss]

I don't get it, it got tech bases and hell castles just like any other Doom game

[junior radish]

yeah but tda just disregards the tech aspect and just goes completely medieval

[misty abyss]

rather it takes more of a backseat, you still see plenty of sentinel tech throughout the game

[junior radish]

sentinel tech

[ember sapphire]

Doom 3 seems like it has much more biblical undertones after playing through it again.

Lots of God and biblical satanic references

Demons chanting, bible verses on hell level loading screens, etc.

What if all of the zombies were unholy people when met with satans wrath? And only the good of heart didn’t turn. It wouldn’t matter really because almost everyone died anyway…

[sudden gull]

Hi I've seen some people talking about the DOOM 3 OG version over the BFG, I really liked the experience of DOOM 3 BFG Edition, should I try the 2004 version?

[minor edge]

yea definitely if you wanna play more

[sudden gull]

I feel like DOOM 3 "weakest points" (for just being different) are also the GREATEST ones, I think the "worst" weapon (shotgun) is great for example, very useful to quickly deleting weak enemies

[sudden gull]

what are the biggest differences though?

[minor edge]

The flashlight can’t be used at the same time as the guns

Uhh less ammo darker lighting

[sudden gull]

I see, seems very challenging, will definitely try, thx

[minor edge]

the original also has some set pieces BFG removed entirely for some reason

[robust estuary]

Definitely!
BFG and 04 are different in a lot of ways. BFG gives you more ammo, removes certain set pieces, removes the flash light being a separate weapon
BFG also messes with the lighting a lot it's generally a lot brighter anyways and some cutscenes don't look as nice as a result like 04 using shadows to hide part of a face to show sinister motive

BFG is still a good way to play 3, but because of its changes the original 04 release is generally seen as the best way to experience it still

[sudden gull]

what are set pieces?

[quasi silo]

Locations

Setpieces is just a fancy word, it usually just means a distinguishable location

[junior radish]

im kinda forced to play the bfg edition considering i do want to get all of doom 3s achievements so i just kinda installed bfa edition so that i could have a better time with the game

as i heard that vanilla bfg edition just wasnt very good

[robust estuary]

One that comes to mind is an area where you're in a sewer area
You have to grab oxygen tanks to keep alive, but in BFG that mechanic isn't present so it's just a regular area

Stuff like that

Parts of a game that are usually different in style or with some gimmick compared to the normal gameplay

[sudden gull]

I see, looks cool to have more of these

[junior radish]

doom 3s plasma rifle is probably the best in the series

its just so good

[junior radish]

man really? i never noticed

[gray harbor]

can you earn achievements with mods? I didn't think this was possible

[junior radish]

with bfa edition you can

[worthy harness]

Just finished doom 3 with all the dlcs

Nice game, 7/10.

I really liked the last 2 levels of hell in lost missions dlc, those were great

Kinda boring at times though

Finally I can play modern ones 😭

[viral briar]

They are NOT playing the BFG Edition in fact

[robust estuary]

DOOM 3 redemption arc in the wider fanbase you love to see it

[viral briar]

Hugo also said OG Doom 3 is superior than the BFG Edition.

Now, Valve said the similar thing to Half-Life compared to Source when its anniversary update came out. What could this mean…?

What I’m saying is, I would be all in for a proper Doom 3 remaster.

[misty abyss]

HL source sounds great on paper, but what was actually made is nothing short of a mess

[viral briar]

It wasn’t that bad until a 2013 update.

[robust estuary]

I'm smelling a good DOOM 3 release inbound (finally)

If the Unity ports of 1/2 can be upgraded to the kex engine then we can get BFG 2019 upgraded too

[viral briar]

Summoning the Nightdive Doom 3 collection.

[misty abyss]

With all new expansion

that'd be awesome

[viral briar]

It better have the OG Xbox version's co-op campaign too.

Something that is still exclusive to the port to this day.

[snow phoenix]

There was Co-op in Doom 3?

Huh I never knew.

[robust estuary]

The xbox port had it and you can sort of readd it into the pc version with a mod

[tidal fable]

Does someone know, how I get out of the Epd lab? (the Room where the laser is)

I´m stuck there)))

[sage torrent]

hello

[robust estuary]

If you're still here, there's a panel nearby you have to activate first then you run down the hallway the laser is firing down iirc

[junior radish]

I already did that, I don´t know if I was too slow but there was no way to get further

Make sure the panel was activated, there's side vent you have to duck into

[tidal fable]

Wheres the vent?

[robust estuary]

End of the laser hallway to the right

[tidal fable]

Ohhh thanks!

[obsidian harness]

If we are getting a new Doom 3 remaster I will 100% pre-order any deluxe super collector's edition slop limited Run Games drops

[junior radish]

i dont want a remaster i want a remake

we have enough remasters

[robust estuary]

Counterpoint: We have enough remakes too
But DOOM 3 still has yet to get a proper port that doesn't mess with original design

[cursive gulch]

What justifies a remake here

What about this game has aged poorly

[junior radish]

good question

[cursive gulch]

The character models obviously but that can be fixed with a remaster

[junior radish]

thing is that the game still looks good, theres nothing that justifies making a new seperate game just to update it slightly

[cursive gulch]

But they did do that

That's what's the BFG edition did

[junior radish]

the bfg edition wasnt just a slight graphical update

[cursive gulch]

It was still a remaster

[junior radish]

it was a port to more modern consoles with additional features

we dont need a bfg edition 2

[cursive gulch]

The BFG edition was a horrible remaster

Most of it's changes were unnecessary

The shoulder mounted flashlight should have been an optional toggle instead of completely replacing the old system

[junior radish]

i mean if youre gonna be asking for a second remaster then might aswell just ask for an update to the bfg edition

[cursive gulch]

I'd assume that's what they'd do

Like with the doom 1 + 2 remaster being an update to the 2019 remaster

[junior radish]

except doom 1 + 2 wasnt an update to the unity build, it just replaced it

its a seperate port

[cursive gulch]

Why would they just update the BFG edition?

It released in 2012

The modern console ports technically aren't even the BFG edition

They cant just release update for the BFG edition to make it better because it's not on modern systems

At that point it'd be easier and better to just make an actual new remaster

[viral briar]

A proper remaster should be more faithful to the OG while also presenting new QoL features + console players post-OG Xbox gets to feel the true Doom 3 experience.

[viral briar]

This.

[quasi silo]

I just want to choose between BFG or OG features

[viral briar]

Including lighting too. Cycle between BFG or the OG.

Gameplay aspects that were nerfed by the BFG Edition could have been dialed back to the defaults.

Co-op campaign from the Xbox version also deserves love.

It simply could replace the current 2019 version to avoid having too many remasters.

[quasi silo]

I'm against replacing. I think all media deserves to be preserved, obviously with certain extreme exceptions

[mossy galleon]

if anyone wants to play doom 3 multiplayer here is the server name: Server3

i will wait then

anyone up for helping me with the multiplayer achievements

[obsidian harness]

Finally Doom 4 hell on Earth

[thorn pewter]

Oh hell yeah, it is a great game in its own right and does a lot of what Doom 1 tried to do but was limited by the technology of its time. (Doom 1 being limited I mean.)

[quasi ember]

I say it because i always hear bad things about this game and i don't belive it and still don't know why the keep saying it, it's another style of doom, only bc it's not all shooting doesn't mean it has to be a bad game right?

[robust estuary]

Correct! A different style =/= bad, especially when said "different style" is closer to a realization of what the original games couldn't do

People can dislike DOOM 3 for a lot of reasons. Some people think it plays too differently even compared to the games prior too it, some may find the enemy variety to be lacking (a very fair reason tbh)
I think a big and the most common reason is a result of people who only experience this franchise through the nudoom installments (2016, Eternal, The Dark Ages) and think that those are how the series is supposed to or has always been. So going back to a game that isn't like those is a slap in the face even though DOOM 3 plays closer to the original games than something like 2016 does

[misty abyss]

D3 plays a lot like the original Doom actually!

[junior radish]

i cant even say doom 3 is a different style when its literally trying to go for the same thing as doom 1

its just not limited by hardware

[junior radish]

kinda wish some enemies got better introductions tbh

like pinkies got a good introduction but you see them like a whole 2 times throughout the entire game after that

wraiths got an anti climactic introduction cutscene
after they already got introduced

and arch viles, which is the most notorious enemy in doom 2 just kinda randomly appears in delta labs literally not even infront of you, but like literally across the room, below you, its hard to even figure out at first what is trying to attack you

[robust estuary]

Pinkies are such a weird case because you can count the amount of times they show up later on (and in expansions like RoE) on one hand

They're used a fine amount until maybe the halfway point then they just don't show up at all it's really weird

Maybe they show up more on higher difficulties? I don't usually play games above the 'normal' equivalent so idk

[misty abyss]

i think biggest issue of this game is a pretty slow burn start, it takes a third of the game until it picks up the pace and starts throwing actual threats your way. Quake 4 also had that except it was like only first quarter of the experience.

[junior radish]

ive beaten the expansions on nightmare and yeah they just dont show up

[junior radish]

id say doom 2016 is imo the most classic doom feeling doom game after them, but doom 3 is what they were originally going for so they are both very much doom in their own right

and then doom eternal is whatever the fuck doom eternal is

[robust estuary]

Yeah eternal is way too different to really be comparable to the rest

[robust estuary]

That's a shame
I wonder why they were dropped so quick

[misty abyss]

2016 is just 3 all over again

[junior radish]

2016 is doom 3 but they realized people wanted pure violence and not another half life

[robust estuary]

2016 is DOOM 3 for people who didn't like DOOM 3

DOOM 3 with its own official project brutality mod

[misty abyss]

Maybe it is closer in gameplay to Quake but it so is 2016. Visually Eternal is definitely closer to the classic Doom style with wide range of colors and having pretty varied scenery as well as the monster design.

[junior radish]

i mean in eternal really only the enemy designs are closer to the original, but i wouldnt say the artstyle

doom 2016 definitely captures classic doom way better

kadingr sanctum actually gives me neuron activation

[robust estuary]

Honestly Eternal at first glance reminded me of those more futuristic Call Of Dutys games with the exosuits or whatever they called them
Very air movement based compared to anything the series did prior

[junior radish]

i cant say 2016s gameplay is similar to quake when like literally every shooters gameplay has been similar to quake after its release, thats just what happens when games go from partially to full 3d

[misty abyss]

2016 has tons of verticality in its design, something that wasn't really in Doom until Doom 2, Quake also had plenty of verticality due to usage of fancy new fully 3D engine features. Doom 3 is about as flat as the original game tho (the fall damage LMAO)

[junior radish]

yeah but outside of dedicated platforming areas, you wont really be noticing the verticality that much in 2016

in eternal youre pretty much forced to just fly constantly

[misty abyss]

funnily enough the whole meathook acrobatics weren't part of the intended gameplay, much like bunny hopping and rocket jumps in Quake

you got dash to avoid the attacks

[junior radish]

day 3 of looking for people for the achievements

[hidden moat]

Shotgunners on Nightmare are really pain for me yet.

[misty abyss]

they're pain in general

shoot like they got full auto and have far better accuracy as well

actual bullshit

[junior radish]

you know whats worse

chaingunners

atleast shotgunners die easily and become pretty rare in the late game

but the reason they become rare is because they get replaced with fuckass chaingunners

[orchid tide]

[sly jasper]

[supple gull]

The Wraith should've been introduced killing Bravo Team instead of having Imps do it. Also, the Mancubus has an introduction but is only used like twice! What were they thinking?

[junior radish]

wraiths get a funny introduction cutscene where one appears and then you just kinda shoot it once with a shotgun and thats it

it just dies and no more spawn

[junior radish]

day 4 of looking for people for the achievements

[quiet zephyr]

Honestly, it friggin sucks that the Android port of BFG Edition was exclusive to the Nvidia Shield tablet. Speaking of which, does anyone know where i can get one for cheap in Brazil?

[quiet zephyr]

Thanks

[versed estuary]

Fun times

[misty abyss]

crazy

[viscid zephyr]

how long is doom 3?

[misty abyss]

really depends on how you play it, can be between 6 or 12 hours

[junior radish]

day 5 of looking for people for the multiplayer achievements

[visual moon]

yk what. ill download it. i can double box and start tomorrow.

well today.. later today bc im going to bed. just lmk.

[unkempt flax]

Ok

[short barn]

What's the difference between all the different versions of doom 3

[robust estuary]

04: DOOM 3 in its purest form. As Carmack god intended.
Horror action game, involves switching between your weapon for defense and a flashlight for vision

Xbox: This is a console port of 04. It's the same mechanically but there's some cut level segments so it could fit into a console disc.

BFG Editon: updated "remaster". Gives more ammo from pickups, flashlight is no longer a separate tool, and generally brightens up the game as a whole.
Includes a small bonus campaign made up of some scrapped levels that didn't make it into the main game repurposed as it's own campaign.

2019: This is just BFG again pretty much.

[short barn]

Ahh ok, and rebirth of evil is the sequel and it just share the number?

[robust estuary]

Resurrection of Evil was an expansion, but also serves as a sequel as well

It's story does take place after the events of DOOM 3, so play this second

BFG has this included in it as well
04/Xbox has this as a separate game

[misty abyss]

BFG edition also comes with Lost Mission!

although it was backported to og version so you can practically play if however you want

[junior radish]

something something, shoulder mounted flashlight mightve been the original intention

idk

[robust estuary]

Yes but the game was designed around it not being the case since it was scrapped

[thorn pewter]

Back when expansions came on a different disk in a new and different case, man

[quasi silo]

For TAG 2 I'm glad this didn't happen because the cover art is kinda ugly, I'd hate to look through my gaming collection and see THAT thing :p

But RoE's cover art is phenomenal. Happy this one came out during the days of physical

[unkempt flax]

hi can someone help me with two achievemnts? You have to kill someone by jumping into the teleporter after them and kill two enemy in the same room with rocket launcher. Dm me if you want to help

[trim berry]

Love how ROE introduces vulgars and does fuckall with them other than have them replace imps.

I also love that way you can't oneshot them with anything but the DBL consistently because center mass shifts around.

[robust estuary]

I see why this isn't the case anymore since one game taking up multiple slots can be a bit of a shelf hog, but man yeah it does look pretty nice having multiple as separate things
Also makes expansions feel substantial if they went through the trouble of printing completely different cds/cases for them. They did feel like genuine notable addons in that sense

[quasi ember]

i've boght it, i haven't had enough time to enjoy it but it looks like a great game, the only think i found different from the other gmes are the saving points that are a little bit far from the place i died but i'll get through it.

[robust estuary]

You can save manually at any point too, if that helps

[quasi ember]

you saved me, thank you so much!

[steady badger]

Doom 3 never lets down. Timeless masterpiece.

[misty abyss]

The ten billionth imp behind the door:

[junior radish]

doom 3 never lets down except for when it does

which is like all the time

[steady badger]

Opinion respected. But it never lets down with no exceptions for me.

[junior radish]

god forbid a man doesnt immediately back away from every door the very frame of opening it

[misty abyss]

what i learned is that you have to rush in with the shotgun to disintegrate an imp like that. It's just so funny how overused it is

[junior radish]

constantly bhop with the shotgun

and rush forward

[steady badger]

That is called dancing with the imp

Doesn't bother me, but I get your point.

[junior radish]

he wasnt talking about dodging the imp, he was talking about just killing it before it even has the chance to attack

[steady badger]

Yeah, that's dancing with the imp. You get close enough to shoot with the shotgun before he actually attacks. Just as I said.

[junior radish]

that aint dancing

[misty abyss]

dance with the imp is avoiding the projectile and use shotgun as a blunt weapon to reduce it to molecular state

[junior radish]

what kinda dances involve you just charging headfirst into a guy

[steady badger]

Right, I wouldn't challenge the terminology, you got my point.

[junior radish]

i didnt

[misty abyss]

The one that has to deal with the doom 3 shotgun being a weapon it is

I conserve machine gun ammo for z sec

[steady badger]

The point is, issue mentioned above doesn't bother me, though I understand your and sn3241's point.

[junior radish]

on my nightmare runs i only ever used the machine gun on trites

hitscanners get the artifact

[misty abyss]

I don't play nightmare because it seems almost as bullshit as classic Doom nightmare with only redeeming quality the fact that you got soul cube

[junior radish]

its not nearly as bad as classic doom nightmare

[steady badger]

I prefer playing it on Veteran which is equivalent to Ultra Violence for classic Doom.

[unkempt flax]

????

[misty abyss]

good 👍 luck 👍

[spare musk]

wish I have doom 3 lol

[trim berry]

Honestly the stamina bar in this game is the worst fucking thing about it bar none. You expect me to think I can reasonably haul 10 weapons on my person with 2 tons of ammunition for each of them fighting off demons from hell, and yet my character can't sprint 15 feet ahead of him for the sake of realism. Okay.

I can't outpace projectiles or sprint down long ass labyrinth corridors because the devs arbitrarily decided I shouldn't have too much fun playing their game faster than THEY want me to. Like GOD FORBID you're out of stamina fighting a single Revenant or else you're eating rockets.

I'm playing ROE and made it to Phobos Labs Sector 2, and the whole thing so far has been straight ass. 99% of the combat is close quarters with insufferable fucking enemies crowding tiny corridors you can't hope to maneuver around. It's like they're forcing me to cheese encounters with the artifact which might as well be a 'win every fight' button because every new enemy introduced is complete shit and almost explicitly requires it.

Also why does every projectile double as a smoke bomb? Visibility is so bad using the Grabber is a hassle. You can't see ahead of you holding a fireball and you can't know if you're hitting anything when it lands.

[trim berry]

Figured, same for getting hit with literally anything. The aimpunch in this game is comical.

Overall this game seems to be in love with the stupid amounts of audiovisual clutter it has.

[carmine pine]

I wish the Trent Reznor music files were released

I wanna hear what he composed for Doom 3

[robust estuary]

Considering how most recent id game rereleases have had some sort of "vault" gallery with old/unused stuff, there's a chance we may actually get those if DOOM 3 ever gets a proper rerelease

I wouldn't hold your breath for it, but if we ever see those I think it'd be in something like that

[quasi ember]

started playing it and i'm loving it, so underrated btw

[robust estuary]

Beautifully made game, and def one that gets passed on a lot more than it should unfortunately. Glad you're enjoying it so far

There was no need for Hell Knight projectiles to have a 200m radius AOE dude fuck off.

[woven flower]

i too have the dutchess. love it.

[north lintel]

That's what I call being "A Man of Culture"

[earnest adder]

i like how doom 3 is still as scary as before

[misty abyss]

the hundred billionth imp behind the door:

[prime whale]

me after the hundredth blatantly telegraphed jumpscare 😱

[dense frigate]

today i finished all doom3 mission!

doom3 and roe lost mission cleared

[misty abyss]

awesome! i love hell segment of lost mission

[dense frigate]

me too

i know why this game called doom3 because inside this game we can meet 3 doomguys

demons:are you nuts?! 3 doomguys?! wtf?!

[junior radish]

i mean its kinda annoying but like out of all the things to complain about, complaining about hell knight projectile splash is kinda just grasping at straws

especially considering hell knights are kinda used as mini boss enemies so

[trim berry]

It's because I was playing ROE earlier and the last level was particularly annoying. The one tiny room with the pillars where the game spawns 12 Hell Knights in is insufferable without the OP tool the game gives you to trivialize the encounter.

So no, not a miniboss type enemy in this context.

[edgy plaza]

this doesn’t deserve to be called the worst doom.

honestly my favorite doom.

[quasi ember]

that's factssss

[junior radish]

if we are counting official expansions then master levels is

or final doom

[craggy stratus]

Nah Plutonia is the best official classic doom game. Or legacy of rust

Master levels yes

[junior radish]

i wouldnt say plutonia is the best official expansion

its just hard, thats the only thing its known for, otherwise its not any more interesting than doom 2

and tnt is just plain

there are better official expansions than final doom, like nrftl, lor or sigil

[quasi silo]

(It's a game)

[junior radish]

yeah ik

but that is kind of my point that it is literally just 2 expansions packaged as a game

[minor edge]

not sure if id thinks that anymore

then again who gaf

[junior radish]

i mean its still a seperate game technically, its just bundled in with every other official classic doom game and expansion now

for convinience

[minor edge]

well id calls it doom ii episodes officially

i think if you asked them they'd call it a standalone expansion like opposing forces for HL

[junior radish]

except opposing force actually adds new stuff

[minor edge]

not sure what that changes here

[junior radish]

that its not like opposing force because it doesnt really bring anything new in terms of gameplay or textures, its just a bunch of additional maps

[minor edge]

ok but both would still be standalone expansions..?

[quasi silo]

id can be wrong, I'll allow it cuz they give us peak

[unkempt crescent]

Which one was the one with the long ass boring maps?

[junior radish]

tnt?

[unkempt crescent]

Or have the worst shotgun.
When it can annihilate a baron of hell with two or three full direct shotgun hits.
Maybe some guns/weapons could do with better sound effects.
Much of 2016 was inspired by and worked on by the same guy who did the environments of Doom 3.

[unkempt crescent]

Prolly is TNT.
Neither of them are good.
One's boring, and the other is difficult but still boring.
Spamming archies and revs left and right.

[junior radish]

yeah tbh plutonia isnt interesting, just difficult

its like taking something thats bland and just making it very spicy

like yeah now its spicier but that doesnt make it taste better

[unkempt crescent]

I'm not looking forward to replaying both of those expansions, but I have to for the Doom 1 & 2 bundle platinum.
Least Sigil, Legacy of Rust, and No Rest For The Living are genuinely good.

[azure shoal]

Ye I prefer those over plutonia and tnt

They're more "modern" and well put together

Atleast to me

[steady badger]

https://tenor.com/view/revenant-doom-doom2-jumpscare-gif-22108444

[misty abyss]

Plutonia atleast doesn't waste your time and instead takes you straight into the fire

[junior radish]

i dont even think nrftl is even that modern, its just very competently designed

[azure shoal]

I mean it released in like 2011

[steady badger]

It was planned to be XBOX exclusive 💀

Glad it turned out not to be an exclusive

[junior radish]

2010
which is uhhh

16 years ago now

[steady badger]

Long maps in TNT...At least except those maps, I actually enjoyed TNT Evilution, maybe nostalgia factor influences me.

[junior radish]

tnt after making a massive ass arena only to place a single revenant

[azure shoal]

It has been awhile, but the way it's designed and decorated is more in line with Sigil and LoR than smt like Plutonia, imo

[steady badger]

You can tell how Casali saved the situation with map 32 in TNT

[misty abyss]

I'm gonna be honest, modern wads show that you can have long maps that aren't boring

[junior radish]

i had to play through nrftl for the bfg edition 100% and i remembered it being good but i forgot just how good it really was

[steady badger]

Agreed. I'm keen on playing apart from commercially released doom wads also fan-made ones which are much-much better.

[steady badger]

It's a piece of art.

Tf were they thinking by including Master Levels in Kex port

[junior radish]

because its an official game technically

[steady badger]

Most horrible experience...

[junior radish]

they kinda had to

[steady badger]

And they still didn't make achievement for Sigil 2

https://tenor.com/view/raw-gif-798993911785685941

[junior radish]

sigil 2 was added after the initial release so its an oversight

atleast they added it

[steady badger]

Yeah, I remember sigil 2 being in fan add-ons list

[quasi silo]

I mean, it was :p

It just was only for 2 years

[junior radish]

the so called xbox exclusive when i just take the wad file

[steady badger]

Yeah, gladly someone pulled out that wad file and made it non-exclusive

[steady badger]

Exactly what I was talking about

[quasi silo]

I played through the 2010 version. Very interesting experience

[steady badger]

Thankfully, their plans of nrftl being an exclusive backfired

[steady badger]

Still one of the best official doom expansions

[quasi silo]

I wouldn't say backfired, I don't think they made it be an exclusive for the sake of locking content away, there was just no official DOOM II release on the other platforms at the time, aside from PC's DOS release, so there was nowhere else they could release it

[steady badger]

Not to dive deep into off-topic. I think the first encounter with pinky demon in doom 3 is cute.

Pinky wanna break through that hard.

[quasi silo]

Good catch. I think it's very impressive tbh. The door bends incredibly smoothly, I don't think anything like this happens again in the game

[steady badger]

Doom 3 is built differently. Pinky demon is not actually pink and also metallic

[quasi silo]

I really like the freakish pest-like designs

[steady badger]

When you encounter revenant in classic doom you get freaked out, but in Doom 3, you're like: Meh, let me block his rockets by shooting plasma

Cuz his rockets gets exploded into his face!

[junior radish]

tbh i kinda miss the classic hell knight design, i know it was just a baron pallete swap and the doom 3 version is better but yk like some horns and a tanner color scheme wouldve been pretty cool to bring back in like eternal

[quasi silo]

Gladiator

[junior radish]

right i forgot the gladiator exists

but thats like a single boss

[quasi silo]

More than they had to do

[steady badger]

What was your first honest reaction when you held the fire for bfg for a long time which caused your death ?

I initially thought that's a bug, not a feature lol

[junior radish]

i didnt even know you could hold the bfg on my first playthrough

granted i pretty much never used it anyway

[quasi silo]

It reminded me of the charging thing from HL1 that behaves the same way

[steady badger]

Gauss cannon ?

[quasi silo]

Maybe? Been a while since I played the game

[steady badger]

[quasi silo]

Yeah this one

[unkempt crescent]

Curious what Hugo will say about the Doom Marine tablet. Him with the soul cube.

[harsh shadow]

Has anyone else ever seen a connection between the gaia spirits in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Doom 3's orange, soul-stealing skulls in the intro sequence?

[unkempt crescent]

Yet to watch that FF movie.
Been considering it.

[steady badger]

https://tenor.com/view/baron-doom-3-gif-1860652126243762242

Best moment to grab BFG and get those demons.

[muted karma]

Should I buy doom 3 for my ps3

[quasi silo]

Yes

[muted karma]

Is the gameplay good?

[slim willow]

It's going to take Hugo a long time to finish Doom 3 lol

Especially if he ends up playing resurrection of evil and lost mission too

[quasi silo]

Yes x2

[slim willow]

It's BFG Edition so be aware

[quasi silo]

Still not a bad game

[plush bramble]

BFG edition’s saving grace is that it does come with Doom 1 and 2

[junior radish]

its saving grace is that it has achievements, the fact that it comes with doom 1 and 2 doesnt matter considering its not even a great way to play them

[steady badger]

YES

[steady badger]

HELL YEAH

[vale parcel]

Cute

[plucky valve]

They doing bad things too me in the forest

[plucky valve]

I aint gonna lie i mike the diff spike but shit it kicking my ass

[quasi vault]

Man, just decimated a fresh run of Doom 3 on vet

Really gave me a fresh new hate for the baby thingies

[robust estuary]

Cherubs my beloathed
Nothing a shotgun to the face can't fix anyways

-# though hitting them is a lot harder on controller because of the lack of precision

[quasi vault]

Fuck using shotgun for em

Plasma gun is better for them

[amber sun]

Anyone got xbox ans wanna play multiplayer

[frank escarp]

The BFG Edition on Steam is great, because you can have DOOM 3 Vanilla and DOOM 3 BFG Edition, alongside the first versions of DOOM 1 and 2 with controller support.

But for DOOM 1 and 2, a better option would be the last version DOOM + DOOM II

[modest ore]

Hopefully, Nightdive and ID will do a new version of Doom 3 that has all the content from the original Doom 3 and the BFG Edition, including the multiplayer. Maybe even add in the co-op mode from the OG Xbox port of the original.

[robust estuary]

Please please PLEASE nightdive port of DOOM 3 that isn't just bfg edition again

And knowing nightdive and their recent trend with remasters, maaaaybe even a new mini episode too

[steady badger]

They are annoying.

[steady badger]

Gotta be honest. Nightdive with their Blood: Refreshed Supply remaster was a dissapointment. Costs 30$, not better than Fresh Supply (Which they delisted), even with more bugs and AI Content. If they ever touch Doom 3, I hope they won't screw everything up.

[robust estuary]

The pricing (or delisting) wasn't theirs to determine, yell at Warner Bros for that

The AI content one is new though. Where did you hear that?

[steady badger]

Even if Warner Bros is responsible for high pricing. That remaster of Blood wasn't really a remaster but rather an update, which is still disappointing, taking into account bugs that persist there.

[steady badger]

In terms of enemy behavior, not generative AI. It got worse.

[robust estuary]

Oh

Had me worried there for a second

Maybe there was more going on in Nightdive to cause it to release in the state it did, idk. Usually they're pretty good with their ports if DOOM 1 + 2 or Heretic + Hexen is anything to go by

I think they also did that Star Wars Dark Forces too iirc

[steady badger]

Gotta be honest. Quake 2's remaster is one of the best Nightdive remasters to this day, imo.

[steady badger]

Random crashes don't occur so often in Doom + Doom II like before, but netcode is still a dogsht.

[steady badger]

They did.

[unkempt crescent]

Yeah, shotgun's terrible for them.
Need something with faster firerate like plasma chaingun.
Spiders are as annoying as them but thankfully the pistol is actually useful on them.

[quasi vault]

Yeah, luckily in ROE and Lost Missions you can pick them up with the physics gun to kill them instantly

[junior radish]

i never knew you could pickup cherubs

[quasi vault]

Tossing the spiders around is hilarious but throwing the Cherubs is amazing

[quasi vault]

I learned that myself yesterday when playing Lost Mission again

[unkempt crescent]

Actually came around to loving the physics gun more, last time I played through RoE.
Only problem is maybe getting through the gun wheel.

[quasi vault]

On controller left or right on dpad brings you to fist and chainsaw so getting to it is easy

On pc idk cause I only play it on my PS5 and Xbox 360

[trim berry]

Goug....

[vale parcel]

Helllloooo

[trim berry]

Grabs.

You have an inventory! New account btw because I forgot all my old authenticator shit

[wraith pumice]

my man Gougaru is back

[wheat star]

Doom 3 Xbox classic or pc

[robust estuary]

PC, but make sure it's the 2004 release

DOOM 3 on Xbox classic is just a port of the pc release but with a lot of segment cuts to fit it all onto the console
DOOM 3 PC (2004) is the full experience as intended

[wheat star]

I didn't understand myself, I can play doom 3 the Xbox or pc version whoever likes in multiplayer

[quick orchid]

I need to play in DOOM mp if anyone is down to

Now I'm in alpha labs sector 2 on Nightmare. With all secrets and PDAs.

yep , all that carried over to modern trilogy, especially 2016 with floating rocks n shit

[hidden moat]

Well during end of 2012 id cancelled Doom 4 and starts deveopment of 2016.

Hell Outpost is the best Doom 3 interms of estetics imho

[misty abyss]

yeah it's my favourite part of Doom 3 as well, they were probably testing the waters with designs here

[trim berry]

What mod?

[misty abyss]

This is lost mission actually

[trim berry]

Ah.

[tough fulcrum]

Bots from SAbot playing campaign mod with me (they play like real players) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qusmQZ3-Qg4&feature=youtu.be

we can see take a shotgun at the end of the video

Interesting detail: this is not the "open coop" mod but simply a team DM game in a story mode map but launched in a multiplayer game.

so SAbot is red, player (me) too

Then I launch the game using a command prompt command that forces the map to start and run in Team DM If I don’t launch it in Team DM, the bot will attack and kill me as well

since it’s a Team DM match, it’s possible to join the blue team. The blue team appears to be associated with the monsters, so if I join the blue team, the monsters won’t attack me. It’s therefore possible to side with the monsters to fight the bots (red team) and prevent them from killing all the monsters in an area

[warm cloud]

hey

[solar plaza]

h-hiii~~~ ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ ₍^. .^₎Ⳋ ૮₍˶Ó﹏Ò ⑅₎ა

[warm cloud]

just finish doom 3

[solar plaza]

nice i just riped my toe nail off it hurt

[idle otter]

yo how do you install doom 3 phobos mod?

[solar plaza]

i dont know let me ask my grandma

[idle otter]

the game bugs out when its in the menu

[unkempt crescent]

How big is the mod scene of Doom 3?

[misty abyss]

No idea, the biggest mod i heard about is Phobos

[quasi vault]

Apparently the grabber can grab Lost Souls

I love this fucking gun

[misty abyss]

yeah it's funny

[unkempt crescent]

Same.
Feel like there's plenty that can be done within Doom 3, just that Doom 3 is a vocal minority within Doom community.

[trim berry]

Yeah the Grabber can be a dangerous weapon if you don't know how to use it.

[solar plaza]

what my grandma is not a bug take it back

[unkempt crescent]

And Cherubs. And I think the spiders.

[quasi vault]

Yeah, both of those are very funny to throw

[unkempt crescent]

Personally I only use the grabber on a spider horde when the horde is dying down.
Mostly due to their speed & numbers. Pistol works wonderfully against them too.

[quasi vault]

I use it to save ammo by throwing crates and shit

Killing imps with thrown items is peak

[idle otter]

i take it back

[solar plaza]

thanks

[robust estuary]

The grabber is super useful for lost souls
You don't even really have to "throw" them either. If you just click once (and immediately let go) like you're firing a pistol, it'll still kill them if the beam makes contact for even a second

Infinite ammo gun that just one shots lost souls basically, and super spammable

[tough fulcrum]

Hi Guys, I’m asking if anyone knows whether this is possible or not: I’m trying to launch the game by combining several mods — the Sabot mod (which adds bots) and the Survivor Last Man Standing Coop mod. The idea would be to add bots from the Sabot mod into a coop/survival map from Last Man Standing Coop. Here is my current command line — do you know what I should change?

Doom3.exe +set fs_basepath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Doom 3" +set fs_game_base sabot +set fs_game lms4 +set si_gameType Team DM +set g_useDynamicAAS 0 +set bot_noAAS 1 +set bot_minClients 1 +spawnServer game/prog_doomship +connect localhost

this command is technically functional for launching a Doom 3 campaign map with bots. Once the game is running, it’s more or less stable and it does work. Now, I would like to be able to launch a map that is truly dedicated to coop/survival with these bots.

[unkempt crescent]

How good is the spam with the spiders?

[robust estuary]

I'm not sure tbh. I've never tried using it on them, the machine gun was always more than enough to deal with them

[unkempt crescent]

Personally, I always found the MG-88 Enforcer lacking against them.
Typically always use the pistol against them, since its fast and usually kills them in one or two shots.

[supple gull]

Chaingun is good when you have a lot of ammo

[unkempt crescent]

Feel like I'm the only one who fires the chaingun in short controlled burst.
Do it all the time from Doom 1993 up until Doom 3.

[steady badger]

Me too. In classic doom by doing so you increase the accuracy significantly

[unkempt crescent]

Most definitely.
Reason I'm always doing it.
It's the best way to use the chaingun

[steady badger]

In some exceptional cases - I do it with pistol as well.

[viral briar]

Looks quite like the Hell part in Eternal's Exultia.

Especially the part before the last arena with floating platforms.

[robust estuary]

Hm. I've never tried using the pistol on them, I'll keep that in mind for next time
The game gives you a hell of a lot of ammo for it so it'd be nice to have a reason to use any of it

[quasi vault]

Depends on environment. If you’re backed into a small corridor you have to gun them down but if its a large space then you should def throw them

[unkempt crescent]

Tbf, there's barely any reason to use the pistol in any of the games. Only encouraged to use it when it's our only available gun, until we get a berserk med pack or a chaingun or shotgun.

[quasi vault]

Pistol is actually solid in 3

It two to three taps the spiders

[unkempt crescent]

That's the only reason I'd recommend using the pistol in Doom 3.

Other than when you lose your guns.

i forgot how metal it looked at times

[minor edge]

so awesome

[trim berry]

Doom 3's hell makes hell in the newer games look like kiddieland.

Especially 2016's.

[misty abyss]

2016 hell, despite taking very obvious inspiration from 3 for its design, felt like it was going more for an "alien dimension" vibe

I love how kinda 3 implied it's just rocks floating in EVIL space with all those breathtaking skyboxes

[trim berry]

I love the nondescript bone and flesh shapes and patterns on the walls. Very Wayne Barlowe.

[tiny drift]

My brother got the game last night

I’ll probably do the same soon because he has liked it so far (I also want every doom game)

[robust estuary]

Do it!!
DOOM 3 is a great one

[tiny drift]

3 and 64 are the last ones I need and I’m certainly gonna get them when I can, I do want to beat every doom game

[robust estuary]

Both easy to get luckily! Bethesda has been pretty good about making the important DOOM games accessible
...except the better version of 3, but whatever

[tiny drift]

Yeah

[snow phoenix]

Doom 3 is an underrated masterpiece

I've got standard and BFG edition on steam

[tiny drift]

Getting 2 really good games for only $15 (on ps store) would be pretty enticing to any fan of the franchise

[versed estuary]

I can imagine there will be a nightdive port of 3 that includes all the good stuff from all the versions while staying true to the original version

Potentially even an expansion but unlikely

[robust estuary]

God please

BFG is fine but 2004 is still the best way to play it, so it'd be nice to see it get proper ports finally

[tiny drift]

Maybe doom 3 can get the doom + doom 2 treatment at some point

[versed estuary]

I like the modern version. I know it’s missing quite a bit of enemies and so on buttttt

Here is my dream nightdive fix

1: it’s based on the original doom 3, we keep the enemy count and atmosphere ( and if they wanna add some more enemies I ain’t complaining)
2: it’s the original doom 3 but we have built in the doom 3 campaign, roe, and lost mission.
3: it uses the Xbox port of doom 3 flashlight system, where the flashlight is on the pistol and not just a flashlight itself ( this could be a toggle for player preference)
4: it either adds the phobos campaign into the game as well, (it’s officially been added in steam workshop now)
Or
They make a new mini campaign for the game, but I feel this may be too much of an ask but would be lovely
5: of course just modern resolution and framerate

[robust estuary]

3 only applied to RoE, base game DOOM 3 Xbox still had the flashlight as a separate thing like pc

[versed estuary]

And now it can be on pistol in all campaigns

[winter solar]

Idk about phobos inclusion but that's a W idea overall nice

[misty abyss]

considering that quake 1 & 2 both got new expansions with the remasters i don't think having another expansion for Doom 3 is that unrealistic

[junior radish]

also a new campaign for classic doom and doom 64

[cursive gulch]

Never quake 4😔

[misty abyss]

i REALLY hope Quake 4 gets this treatment as well

so much potential there

[quasi silo]

Finally, console Quake 4 with more than 10fps during combat

[unkempt crescent]

Think Hugo and Joshua might've hinted at that. I do hope so.
Should allow both versions and potentially allowing the shoulder mount flashlight as an available option for og lighting.

[unkempt crescent]

Maybe Nightdive can make that canceled dlc for Quake 4.
Prolly won't be 100% to the original idea, but they could make it real.

Did Quake 4 have a multiplayer kinda similar to Doom 3?

[misty abyss]

Quake 4 has multiplayer, which is basically Quake 3

[woven flower]

I think it was basically quake 3 multiplayer. I didn't play it, but I recall reviews saying it was quake 3 movement speed and maps

[unkempt crescent]

From what I seen on Quake 3 multiplayer, sounds incredible.
I don't know why Halo MP during that generation of gaming tech is mentioned way more than Quake 4 or Doom 3 multiplayer

[quasi silo]

Cuz both of those had very small focus on their MP

[woven flower]

No split screen multiplayer tbh

[unkempt crescent]

Mechanically, Quake Multiplayer has so much more going on within it. From resource spawns, weapon spawns, mobility tech, how the weapons can work if you understand them, and some other components of Quake multiplayer I'm unaware of.
And Halo is slow and restrictive all around. By the time a Halo player gets up a ramp, a Quake player is flying off the ramp as extra mobility, sending them through the air

[unkempt crescent]

That's what usually comes to my mind when asking myself why Halo MP around that gen had more attention and was more loved.

[quasi silo]

Never played Halo so can't comment but Quake III MP is awesome yeah

[woven flower]

Everyone I know switched to modern warfare when it came out. (Or battlefield games with vehicles)

I don't think anyone liked the guns in halo. Quake 4 might have been too scifi at the time as well. I'm not sure.

[misty abyss]

I love Halo assault rifle

[unkempt crescent]

Which one?
My favorite is always the Combat Evolved version.

[misty abyss]

Same, CE AR is like bringing thunder to the warzone

[storm spruce]

h

hello

[quasi silo]

Microsoft store

[storm spruce]

thanks ima try and do it now

[quasi silo]

[storm spruce]

wait it costs 10.99

[quasi silo]

There's a demo available online

[storm spruce]

i do have the doom 3 bfg or whatever and

i got into an elevetor and the game just closes

[misty abyss]

I don't think we can help you with this

[storm spruce]

🙁

no free doom 3:(

[junior radish]

me when i have to pay to play a video game

(foreign concept)

[storm spruce]

very dislike of the developers to have to feed their families☹️

🙁

[misty abyss]

if you're on PC you can grab a steam key for doom 3 dirt cheap out there

[versed estuary]

On sale it’s $5 sometimes less

[storm spruce]

thanks

[unkempt crescent]

I mean games usually aren't free, so I don't see why you expect games to just be tossed out for free.

[storm spruce]

cuz pirates of the carribean

[unkempt crescent]

What? The fuck does that mean?

[next ether]

i don't think the official doom server is a place where you could ask this kind of questions

[storm spruce]

yeah i got a warning

[robust estuary]

You shouldn't talk about that in any server period, official or not
People are waaay too comfortable openly talking about breaking laws nowadays fsr

Anyways if you don't want steam, it's on the microsoft store as Anome said
You can also find it physically if you want. I don't think it costs that much, there's a lot of copies of DOOM 3 floating around

[next ether]

well i'm usually not against that if bro doesn't have money for games. he could buy it later when he'll have enough money for that

[solar bough]

Thinking about it now, the stage ambience in Angry Birds Space would actually fit Doom 3 very well. https://youtu.be/gA7nq0eaZTI

[junior radish]

i mean, there are servers dedicated for that

this isnt one of them

[drifting thunder]

hey is there anyone that could help me outwith the multiplayer achievements?

[soft storm]

What does DOOM 3: BFG Edition and DOOM 3: Resurrection Of Evil add?

[quasi silo]

Resurrection of Evil is a seperate campaign from the original, it's a new campaign
BFG Edition is a remaster of both of them that adds a third campaign and makes some controversial changes such as doubles the ammo and changes how the flashlight works

[soft storm]

Oh I see thank you
As just purchased the Classic Bundle and saw those 2 came along with it and was confused
Thank you for explaining

[woven flower]

BFG edition of ROE cut several parts (the best parts)

[junior radish]

no

[solar bough]

The BFG Edition versions of Doom 1 and 2 are pretty scuffed. Just play the Kex Engine version at the very least.

[final mortar]

should I play the og doom 3 or bfg edition?

[robust estuary]

OG

BFG is fine, but if you have the option you should always go with the OG 2004 release for DOOM 3

[vale dew]

bfg edition

mainly because its easier

[robust estuary]

It's easier but that's not really a good thing
It's made easier because it takes away a lot of the ammo management and flashlight vs defense the original was built on
also removes segments iirc, so BFG Edition is by definition an incomplete version of DOOM 3

[vale dew]

speaking of doom 3, I was playing the resurrection of evil expansion

[robust estuary]

-# the original isn't that hard, anyways

[vale dew]

it was really decent

I wish the actual game was like that

[robust estuary]

It was? RoE is just more DOOM 3

A lot shorter, sure, but still not that different

[versed estuary]

Roe condenses the entire doom 3 experience into 3-4 hours with more enemies and the ssg as well as better hell

Lost mission then is a 1-1.5 hour nonstop gun fest

The pacing of roe works a lot better and higher enemy count

[final mortar]

what is roe even about?

[misty abyss]

basically closing down the portal to hell once again, this time however you're finishing the job by getting rid of Betruger

and ending to RoE has very interesting implications...

[minor edge]

RoE is good overall but its highs never reach the highs of Doom 3 base game

[wraith pumice]

was the BFG Edition really designed more for consoles than PC? I see some people making that claim

[quasi silo]

Probably so, because PC users could just mod the game to be any way they want

While most console players didn't have the game at all, and the ones who did had the cut down Xbox port

[wraith pumice]

I enjoyed that port more than BFG Edition ngl

[vale dew]

I like roe more than the actual game

its faster paced, more monsters, I dont get lost at lot, and having a lot of the gun early

[oblique venture]

does have an actual boss at the end, even if it can be a little bit frustrating
I think I still prefer that to "BFG a few maggots and you win" 😛

[trim berry]

The shotgun in this game gets shat on so much no one in 17 years has mentioned how punchy it feels.

The sound effects and animation work are both really well done even if the model itself is kinda ass. Fortunately there's mods that swap it out for the alpha model which is just better in every way.

[trim berry]

Yeah I like ROE better also even if the Vulgar spam and some sections are a pain in the fucking ass without the artifact.

[harsh shadow]

Doom 3's shotgun is my favorite in all of video game history

because of the design and justification for how it's used, the pump sound, the punchiness, the aesthetic

I don't care for the alpha model tbh.
Looks too inspired by older shotguns whereas the D3 one looks unique and less able to be pinned down

[vale parcel]

Overthinked doom 3 is the pinnacle though. Someone managed to make it actual survival horror. Really cool

[trim berry]

Looks like a SPAS with a tumorous growth.

[unkempt crescent]

The reload animation I love more than Doom 1993 combat shotgun's reload animation.
Punchy and lethal as hell. Three or two shots from the shotgun to a hellknight and it's dead.
I love the model we have, but don't think I've ever seen the alpha model. Will look it up now

https://youtu.be/j2g-o8yR48Y?si=CBbWVBF0d-9PfoKZ

I wish the chainsaw sounded much better than the goofy wind up sounds we got.
It's phenomenal in Doom 3, just the sound effects take away the brutality you should feel

[trim berry]

The chainsaw in Doom 3 always sounded weird to me.

I like the way it sounds in the newer games much more.

[unkempt crescent]

My favorite chainsaw is probably still Doom Absolution's chainsaw.
The dual chainsaw is the most lethal weapon version of itself.

Doom Absolution's arsenal overall, imo, looks the best out of classic Doom. Though animations could be needed for some weapons, but it was limited by hardware.

[junior radish]

honestly im not sure why people complain about the lack of reloading animations for the shotguns in 64, its just like quake

[unkempt crescent]

It doesn't bother me personally, but I can get why it bugs some.

[vale dew]

update I beat it within 4 hours

[azure shoal]

Guy on bottom looks like an orc from lotr or the hobbit

[vale wadi]

doom 3 bfg edition is not running for me on steam

what should i do?

[junior radish]

dont play the bfg edition

[vale wadi]

bruh

[junior radish]

i mean you have the game on steam, the original doom 3 is right there

[vale wadi]

it's the only version with achievements, and it has classic doom in it

i literally bought this to, to fawking play the shitty classic doom port

[junior radish]

doom 1 + 2 is right there for like the same price

bfg edition is a buggy mess and just doesnt work for a lot of people

[vale wadi]

yeah i own the original and doom+doom2 I just like messing around with different ports and seeing how they handle things, It’s kinda my thing

[vale wadi]

another reason why i want to play on it....

[quasi silo]

So helpful

[junior radish]

alright wise guy lets see you take a crack at it

[quasi silo]

I can't help the guy because I don't know how to, you didn't help the guy because you were just saying unhelpful shit, there's the difference

[junior radish]

i gave helpful advice

What happens when you try and open it

[unkempt crescent]

Was there any other names for Doom 3 before Id decided Doom 3?
Kinda like Doom 64's dev team wanted to call it Doom Absolution, but Nintendo being Nintendo, forced them to go with Doom 64.

[minor edge]

maybe a reboot style "Doom" like 2016

[quasi silo]

It's possible that DOOM 2000 ended up becoming DOOM 3

[vale wadi]

It doesn't launch at all

[minor edge]

Um

[trim berry]

We should go to the Doom 3 BFG Edition building and look for the Doom 3 BFG Edition boss. And blow him up.

Then, Doom 3 BFG Edition will be deleted from PC stores.

[junior radish]

i mean, steam still comes with the original versions atleast

[trim berry]

Kill and explode Doom 3 BFG Edition.

Throw stones at Doom 3 BFG Edition.

[misty abyss]

Soon you will be running Doom 3 BFG Edition in your blood

[earnest matrix]

Can we get this server on Stoat also?

[earnest matrix]

I guess anybody could create this server over on that platform. Maybe I should do it.

Everyone is overreacting about the discord changes

[hidden moat]

I missed locker in alpha labs 4,damn I didn't know that it only available in bridge route.

[oblique venture]

I don't know if that level can be 100%ed in a single run

the two routes share some areas but I think there are still enemies you can only get to on one or the other

[hidden moat]

In terms of items and enemies, the answer is no.

[junior radish]

for what they are planning now? yeah maybe, however with the direction discords heading i dont feel its an overreaction to think that we might be needing to find an alternative relatively soon
