like a degen

honest lynx
#

You could do that hahaha

scenic stratus
#

sorry just clarifying, it sounds like nata may or may not be working on the best doom 3 mod ever

carmine sonnet
#

I always thought it was weird the game let you kill the people you find

#

It’s kind of funny tho

honest lynx
#

I hated that... especially to get all the pdas

scenic stratus
#

and after the hell level (you lose all your items) it can be lying in the big transfer room thing between delta 4 and 5

fallow ocean
#

Actually, I'm just going to give it to myself at that point to test it out. but a mod would be a cool goal to reach

scenic stratus
#

ah

honest lynx
#

^ would love that bro

fallow ocean
#

Too bad I'm too dumb and lazy to actually work on said mod

honest lynx
#

I have faith in you

fallow ocean
#

If I knew what i was doing i was totally make it

carmine sonnet
#

So...what’s the difference between a Tryt and a Tick in Doom 3? (That’s what they’re called yes?)

#

They look the same to me...

scenic stratus
#

tryt? can you explain what that is to my brain dead self

honest lynx
#

Their faces are kinda different is all I can really recall

carmine sonnet
#

I meant trite my bad

honest lynx
#

Like the spiders bro

scenic stratus
#

oh yeah

#

GROSS

#

i think the ticks are faster

honest lynx
#

Honestly they pissed me off the most on my nightmare run haha

carmine sonnet
#

Oh so no difference in their behavior?

scenic stratus
#

they feel faster to me

honest lynx
#

Their jump and speed are different I think

carmine sonnet
#

Mmm maybe they are. Dunno but both are as annoying as hell. So are those nasty baby things

scenic stratus
#

those things are the worst enemies in doom

honest lynx
#

They are hard as hell to hit with the chaingun

scenic stratus
#

or to hit at all

honest lynx
#

I feel like the rifle is the best for em

carmine sonnet
#

It’s the fact that they jump at you and you get like .5 seconds to react

scenic stratus
#

i feel like the plasma gun is

honest lynx
#

And they jump far too

scenic stratus
#

yeah

honest lynx
#

It's a shame you cant pick them up and throw them around with the levitator

carmine sonnet
#

Lol I wish

scenic stratus
#

the babies?

#

yeah you can

#

grab em and throw em

honest lynx
#

Realllly?.... I must try haha sounds stress relieving

carmine sonnet
#

It seems when the game introduces new annoying ass enemies, it likes to flood the next few levels with them

scenic stratus
#

out of context that sounded really bad

honest lynx
#

Hahahah cheese throws babies

scenic stratus
#

it defines who i am

honest lynx
#

I just have a habit of shooting those annoying asses when I see them so I never bothered to toss em around

#

But when I get to roe... I shall make clips for cheese

scenic stratus
#

im already making em

#

for the entire server

#

to see babies die

honest lynx
#

Do one where you slow time and toss it in the air and then shoot it

scenic stratus
#

yes

#

im making it one sec

boreal adder
#

...I wouldn't trust you farther than I could throw an accountant

scenic stratus
carmine sonnet
#

Lmao, perfect clip

#

Thank you for making that

scenic stratus
#

you are welcome

honest lynx
#

Hahaha cheese killed it ! Made my night

scenic stratus
#

i should have used the flashlight on one lol

honest lynx
#

Theres still time. Dou it

scenic stratus
#

YES

#

ugh the cherubs the worst enemies in the entire game... in nightmare they will even one hit you due to you almost always being at 25

#

those things killed me more than I'd like to admit

#

well then these 2 clips are very good

#

and this was in the original campaign so I didn't have the gravity gun to help

#

yeah thxs @scenic stratus

#

i just love the way its head snaps back on that second clip

#

yeah the last 3 seconds with the flashlight XD it was so satisfying

honest lynx
#

The last one hahaha I felt that ... mood satisfacdoom

scenic stratus
#

i love making these things

carmine sonnet
#

Lol another great clip

charred fox
#

You can actually yeetus the fetus

scenic stratus
#

yep

charred fox
#

I had no fucking clue

#

Geez

#

Gravity gun the best gun

scenic stratus
#

"you get what you fucking deserve"

charred fox
#

YEP

scenic stratus
#

society man haha

honest lynx
#

Its getting crazier out there

fervent crest
#

I hate those maggots

carmine sonnet
#

Weirdest character to ever be in a Doom game imo

fervent crest
#

they were hard to hit

#

annoying af, came in large numbers and stripped down my health

scenic stratus
#

but fun to absolutely decimate with bfg

carmine sonnet
#

They’re pointless, but hey baby noises in a horror game = scary

fervent crest
#

glad they've been cut from any later doom game

scenic stratus
#

or how i did it in those clips

fervent crest
#

never understood how a babies cries in the dark = scary

carmine sonnet
#

I find it unsettling but every Horror game uses this ^

scenic stratus
#

I was more scaried of the lady saying "they took my baby" with the bloody footprints never understood what that was about

#

the imps just wanted a good meal

#

lmfao

carmine sonnet
#

I completely forgot about that part

scenic stratus
#

imagine if before a room featuring them you would hear a baby's cry that gradually became louder the closer you got. then boom it stops when they spawn

#

cliche, yes

#

but scarier than "they took my baby"

carmine sonnet
#

True

#

Might be too early in the game to introduce those though

#

If that were the case

#

Wait what level does that happen in, I honestly can’t remember coming across it

scenic stratus
#

i just wish they went full in with the horror instead of not know what the fuck they were doing and going full action half way through

#

i mean less ammo, more dark, flashlight having a battery.

#

i love horror games, and i think a spinoff (yes not a main series game) with a horror theme would be awesome

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah, it changes pacing like three times throughout the campaign

scenic stratus
#

yep

carmine sonnet
#

Agreed

scenic stratus
#

its like they said "wait this is a doom game, uhh AcTIoN"

carmine sonnet
#

Lol honestly

scenic stratus
#

RoE had a much better pace

carmine sonnet
#

Mhm, it’s weird I feel like the DLC missions are better thought out

#

But nonetheless Doom 3, despite it being all over the place, is really fun to play

scenic stratus
#

they should have kept the plot from the alpha

#

though

#

the plot also feels kind of messy

#

like i didnt even know the soul cube was a key plot element until i got it

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah it feels like they just threw some stuff in there as they went.

#

Like the whole choice thing. The game had moments where you could choose what to do, and it just felt really out of place

#

Felt like it should have resulted in an alternate ending but instead was scrapped halfway through

scenic stratus
#

the chamber thing was hilarious though

carmine sonnet
#

Lol ikr

scenic stratus
#

i will admit, i killed the guy by accident

carmine sonnet
#

Pfft, my first play through I nearly killed every NPC. They’d come out of no where and scare the hell out of me

scenic stratus
#

i also played shudders the BFG edtion when i first got into the game so the "to be or not to be" achievement enhanced the comedy

#

you know what would be amazing?

#

killing every npc results in a new ending where you join betruger

#

and the final mission follows you decimating the reinforcements from earth

carmine sonnet
#

Hell yeah, actually that would be really cool. Adds some replayability

scenic stratus
#

the last npc is that biohazard guy, right? i mean imagine if betruger's dialogue changed from "your soul will be mine" to "join me, and conquer this wasted land. join hell and feast with my children" or something like that

#

be bad and finish bad

#

idk, im just rambling at this point

carmine sonnet
#

Well see Doom 3 gives you the illusion that you have a choice half the time but you don’t, actually giving two different paths for the player would be cool

#

I would have liked to see it at least in one of the DLC

scenic stratus
#

yeah, instead of erebus lets say you join betruger and do shit with him instead. prepare to eliminate the reinforcements

honest lynx
#

Become an annoying commando with a rubber arm and a chaingun. Sounds like fun

scenic stratus
#

i mean join betruger like actually join him

#

no transformations or nothing, but that could be good

honest lynx
#

Ahhhh gotcha. Being a bad guy would be dope. Trying to take over yie base if reinforcements arrived and get the demons on the ship for the invasion

#

Can you slow time, throw a grenade on the floor, then levitator it at an enemy ?....... @scenic stratus

scenic stratus
#

sounds like a pro gamer move

#

i will try it

#

no

#

it wont select

final oxide
#

yo playing this for the first time and
i'm getting a half life vibe

final oxide
#

ok is marine difficulty supposed to be hurt me plentt or ultra violence?

scenic stratus
#

hello everyone

coral solstice
#

I'd say Veteran is more of a UV equivalent

scenic stratus
#

yeah recruit is I'm too young to die
marine is hurt me plenty
veteran is ultra violence
and nightmare is... well nightmare ofc

coral solstice
#

3's Nightmare is pretty much an actual goddamn nightmare

#

your health keeps decreasing to 25, but at least you get the Soul Cube from the beginning

scenic stratus
#

yeah for some reason it's the hardest nightmare out of all the other games

coral solstice
#

it's even more unfair than classic Doom's Nightmare, which was originally added as a joke in 1.2

final oxide
#

holy shit the jumpscare in the bathroom gave me a heart attack
i just wanted to pick up an armor shard

little raven
#

I didn’t get it i stood there waiting for ever but no jumpscare

#

Also in the mirror you can’t see the BFG charging

honest lynx
#

It's the first bathroom when the portal opens fluffy. Beginning of the game

#

Nightmare is probably the most fun mode for me though. Really gives that ... I'm in danger vibe

scenic stratus
#

"BFG Edition" Heresy!!!

tropic badger
#

I played BFG edition whole. Loses charm, but can't say I got bored.

#

Though the lost mission is a very dank addon

acoustic meadow
#

Is BFG edition bad?

#

I was considering buying it but idk

tropic badger
#

Depends

#

Doom 3 is supposed to be dark and more horror focused

acoustic meadow
#

What’s the difference

tropic badger
#

BFG changed light level, changed flashlight from weapon slot to shoulder mounted and increased supplies

#

Losses tension in that sense

#

But I could not say it is bad, as in technically bad. I am very tolerant with these things, lots of people hate it.

versed estuary
#

Hey guys,
DoOm 3 IsNt A rEaL dOoM megalel

tropic badger
#

And if you play with Brutal Doom you are an heretic that should hang to death from Romero's mane romero

#

Only software render is real

versed estuary
#

Tbh I find the lighting of the BFG edition and rereleases better than the classic doom 3
I know the game is supposed to be dark for horror purposes

But pitch black isn’t horror, it’s just annoying. At least imo

tropic badger
#

Kinda. Ok, spoted enemies. Change to weapon. Where do I point.

versed estuary
#

I mean yeah that works, but I sill like to see my enviorment, not point in the general direction

#

Imma play a run of doom 3 without flashlight, since the rerelease is still dark, but not true darkness, snd see how it adds to the horror factor

honest lynx
#

I purposefully post bfg edition to make cheese die inside for killing babies

versed estuary
#

Those ain’t babies, those are DEMONS

scenic stratus
#

BFG Edition is the plague

#

buy the original and download dhewm 3 sourceport

honest lynx
#

Boi... I have the original on CD that I bought in 2004!!!! As well as the original game guide because I was a little boyyy

scenic stratus
#

as a true gamer would

#

i never owned the pc version as we couldnt afford one, but i still have my Doom 3 collectors edition for xbox

honest lynx
#

Honestly I could barely run it. It looked like absolute crap and the frame rate made you feel like it was always in slow motion.. I minimized the window so it was barely visible... somehow it was still my favourite game as a kid. That and combat evolved

scenic stratus
#

lol

#

its funny now that almost any toaster can run doom 3 on at least medium settings without trouble

honest lynx
#

I'm sure you could actually get it running on a fridge now. But back then it was something

scenic stratus
#

it sucks, my reintroduction to doom 3 was with the BFG edition :(

honest lynx
#

I usually switch between the 2 depending on if I'm upstairs on the laptop or downstairs on my ps4

scenic stratus
#

makes sense, bfg edition is alright on consoles.

#

but im talking BFG edition on pc

honest lynx
#

I've heard the horror stories bro hahah. Not really sure what they were thinking.

scenic stratus
#

idk why they messed with the core of the game so much

#

you cant please everyone, trying to make it more like the other games hurt the bfg edition

#

off topic, its funny that my only contributions to this server are ranting about bfg edition and posting clips of cherubs getting decimated

honest lynx
#

The fact you cant levitator grenades though sucks. I really wanted to try that today.. find something the grenades are useful for haha

scenic stratus
#

they explode too soon to be too helpful

wet gust
#

They explode on contact so they're epic

honest lynx
#

I'd image in roe they could be though if you could shoot them

scenic stratus
#

speaaking of roe, im starting roe on my xbox one, F to the hell arena

honest lynx
#

Bro I'm putting off my nightmare run.. like for three days now haha. I feel you

scenic stratus
#

i couldnt do nightmare on console i suck with a controller

honest lynx
#

Stick to what you're good at. I have baboon thumbs which give me a controller evolutionary advantage

scenic stratus
#

my thumbs are about an inch and a half long

#

scratch that i cant mental measure, more like 2 inches

#

its not buttons i struggle with its the analog stick

honest lynx
#

Meanwhile @versed estuary out here killing nightmare with joycons

versed estuary
#

I try

#

Would be a bit easier if my left joycon wasn’t fucked up. But eh

fallow ocean
#

Doom 3 has 3 marines

#

They should all team up and be a demon killing trio

acoustic meadow
#

I think I’m gonna get the doom 3 xbox one port too

#

Little something to ease the pain of waiting for Eternal

scenic stratus
#

i have it on switch

proven zodiac
#

Get a pro controller

#

Im 6'5 so I got huge ass hands and the joycons make me cramp up but the pro controller is perfect. The most comfortable way to play besides mouse and keyboard imo

acoustic meadow
#

I feel your pain, I’m 6’3 and joycons are annoying.

final oxide
#

i turned the brightness down for the true doom 3 experience

scenic stratus
#

The way it's meant to be played dealguy

final oxide
#

it's actuslly not as bad as people say

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 is supposed to be dark

#

none of this bfg edition lighting

honest lynx
#

Rocketed a baby in the air for you just now cheese

scenic stratus
#

thank you

nimble wren
#

BFG is still pretty dark
just not so dark that you have to use the flashlight most of the time

scenic stratus
#

and i dont want to use it because i cant beat zombies anymore

scenic stratus
#

Exactly. Flashlight% all the way

honest lynx
#

New idea... levitator an explosive barrel above some enemies. Freeze time ... shoot the barrel just at the right time above them so the group all gets the splash damage

fading summit
#

i hate how the flashlight is off center

honest lynx
#

What's yall fov set yet

scenic stratus
#

sounds like something fun to make

#

cheese time

honest lynx
#

Douu it !

scenic stratus
honest lynx
#

That's exactly what I was picturing! Sickkkk

carmine sonnet
#

Those few last frames are sick

acoustic meadow
#

I just started off doom 3 and HOLY SHIT, this game is amazing

little raven
#

If you like the beginning your gonna love the latter half

acoustic meadow
#

The imps jumping at you is simply magnificent, and you get a real scare if it’s your first time

#

Only complaint I have is the shotgun. Feels eh, because you either 3 hit a zombieman and then a few seconds later it 1 hits a Shotgunner

carmine sonnet
#

For it to be effective you have to be on top of the enemy lol

acoustic meadow
#

I’m excited to get more into it

#

Wdym?

little raven
#

Oh yeah the shotgun might be the worst weapon ever made

carmine sonnet
#

It can one shot Revenants, you just gotta be basically up its ass

#

It’s annoying

little raven
#

It’s literally a dice roll with the spread

acoustic meadow
#

That’s good to know it’s viable

little raven
#

It really isn’t

acoustic meadow
#

People complain about the reload, but the game’s so slow paced reloading doesn’t even matter

little raven
#

It’s only useful if your lucky as crap

acoustic meadow
#

Yeah tbf I am using the Machine gun a lot more

little raven
#

Machine gun is great

carmine sonnet
#

It’s not slow paced later on, and the fact that you can’t switch weapons while reloading is annoying af. Fun game but some really questionable developer choices

#

Also to avoid Imps behind doors open them off to the side

little raven
#

Chaingun is the best weapon but ammo is so scarce it’s awful

acoustic meadow
#

Can’t you still take cover?

scenic stratus
#

yes

little raven
#

You will be begging for chaingunners

acoustic meadow
#

Is the Chaingun that good?

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah but the game pulls cheese and spawns enemies behind and in front of you, so cover is useless

little raven
#

The chaingun is other worldy awesome

carmine sonnet
#

Plasma and Chaingun are probably the best ones to use

scenic stratus
#

yeah but ammo is so scarse... you can only get them from chaingunners most of the time, a few occasions being the ammo lockers

little raven
#

Most fun weapon hands down hits more then the plasma

scenic stratus
#

but the best gun is easily the plasma it melts through everything and it has a cool reloading sound

little raven
#

And you will get so much plasma ammo it’s ridiculous

acoustic meadow
#

Plasma rifle’s really seemed to drop off recently; Hope the new installment will save the Plasma rifle but that’s a whole other topic

scenic stratus
#

I honestly love using it against the Revenant and watching the rockets explode in it's face, gives me a stupid big grin

carmine sonnet
#

Eternal? Oh yeah, the Plasma gun in there is hot

little raven
#

In about 5 rooms I acquired about 200 plasma cells

carmine sonnet
#

It’s better than 2016s

#

Damn

little raven
#

I had over 400 for an entire level while just using it

carmine sonnet
#

Wait Beter do you have the BFG edition?

little raven
#

Nope

carmine sonnet
#

Hm, yeah ammo is a problem then

acoustic meadow
#

I was forced to; Xbox port gives you bfg edition and nothing else

#

Im sad

carmine sonnet
#

Rip, don’t worry about ammo then. You usually get plenty of it

little raven
#

Steam has the original

scenic stratus
#

yeah same for PS4

little raven
#

Have you fought the lost souls yet

scenic stratus
#

game holds your hand a lot but veteran or nightmare kinda fixes that problem

acoustic meadow
#

Nope, and dont wanna

carmine sonnet
#

I like playing it on console more, feels more immersive and the controller shakes while you shoot which I what I love from playing FPS on consoles

little raven
#

They are one of the 2 scary things in the game

#

The other being cherubs

acoustic meadow
#

Cherubs?

scenic stratus
#

they aren't really scary to me they are just damn annoying...

#

the baby demons

carmine sonnet
#

Cherubus is this ugly baby thing

little raven
#

Look em up

#

They’re fucking nightmare fuel

carmine sonnet
#

Cherubus and the spider things are the WORST

acoustic meadow
#

Im early into the game, so idk all about this stuff

scenic stratus
#

Those guys are the best

carmine sonnet
#

No

little raven
#

Have you met the little spiders

acoustic meadow
#

The ones that fight with you?

carmine sonnet
#

Ticks and trites

scenic stratus
#

no those are the sentry bots you're talking about

carmine sonnet
#

No these things with upside down human faces

little raven
#

No the ones that swarm you and have infinite spawns

acoustic meadow
#

Nope

little raven
#

They are the worst enemy in the game

#

And they are eveywht

acoustic meadow
#

Worse than 2016 lost souls?

carmine sonnet
#

Oh yeah by far

little raven
#

Hahahaha so much worse

acoustic meadow
#

Oh fuck me

little raven
#

They hunt in packs of about 20

carmine sonnet
#

The problem is, they jump fricken’ 15 meters away

little raven
#

And the game often has spawners in tight conrners

acoustic meadow
#

It’s worse that I’m playing on Veteran

scenic stratus
#

yeah I just let the sentry bots handle them I'm not taking damage from the swarm

carmine sonnet
#

When they are first introduced, you have to fight about 25 of them

little raven
#

They jump into you and stun you

acoustic meadow
#

The pinky’s design is kinda fuckin scary; they look like pigs without eyes, kinda like the Amalgamate dog in Undertale

carmine sonnet
#

Ikr

scenic stratus
#

Lol veteran before hell is harder than nightmare

little raven
#

Oh pinkys are awful

carmine sonnet
#

Idk Archviles scare me more in that game out of everything else

little raven
#

But the spiders are worse then all other demons combined

acoustic meadow
#

Wait, wait wait wait wait

carmine sonnet
#

Y e a

little raven
#

Oh yeah

#

I actually met them tonight

scenic stratus
#

yeah they can summon demons in this game rather than revive

acoustic meadow
#

I’m gonna scream my dick off

little raven
#

You get the bfg before you fight them so it’s okey

carmine sonnet
#

They’re like 7ft tall and the first time they get introduced you have no idea where it is

acoustic meadow
#

Oh thank god

honest lynx
#

Yeah except I'm doing my nightmare run.. let me tell you.. the only thing that really makes me shit a brick is a guard with a shotgun.. basically dead if he gets one shot off.. you can dodge demons... but those assholes...

little raven
#

Make sure you get all the pdas one of them in alpha labs i think has the code for the bfg

#

Which is in delta labs

acoustic meadow
#

On Marine, if you have a high armor count the shotgunner does 2 dmg to you

carmine sonnet
#

Wait are you sure you get the BFG before? I don’t remember having it when I fought the first one

scenic stratus
#

they always seem to do more damage even if you also have a shotgun and I never understood why... maybe they have a shorter spread? @honest lynx

honest lynx
#

I think their spread is rigged

carmine sonnet
#

No they just have a better shotgun doomguy_dead

little raven
#

The bfg first appears in delta 2

honest lynx
#

Like they get you across the map one shot 25 damage so you die

little raven
#

A lonnnnng way into the game

scenic stratus
#

exactly it's rigged and I hate them

little raven
#

Why can’t we have their shotgun

scenic stratus
#

You get the bfg once before hell, once in hell, and then after hell you gotta kill a couple archviles without a bfg

acoustic meadow
#

Yall ever quicksave the second u boutta die

carmine sonnet
#

Ew I forgot about that

honest lynx
#

I was actually excited when you get to the more demon part of the game lol

carmine sonnet
#

I have a problem with saving too often

acoustic meadow
#

So do I

little raven
#

Hell is awesome i have been told 2 levels away from it

carmine sonnet
#

I’m like “I hear something...better save”

honest lynx
#

I save after I clear every room.. cant risk it right now. If I make one mistake I'm dead

scenic stratus
#

your in delta labs sector 3 then I think

acoustic meadow
#

i smell fear

little raven
#

Yeah

scenic stratus
#

oh man wait till the next level

little raven
#

Bfg charges to

#

@scenic stratus is delta 4 cool

scenic stratus
#

yeah and you get introduced the the hell Knights scared me the first time it happened

honest lynx
#

The rag doll is amazing though haha.. still my favourite out of any game

acoustic meadow
#

Is the Spider Mastermind featured in Doom 3?

carmine sonnet
#

What’s the scariest enemy in the game in your guys’ opinions? Excluding Cherbus

little raven
#

Sorta

honest lynx
#

Spider bit ch?

little raven
#

@carmine sonnet lost souls

scenic stratus
#

it's some vagray spider boss that has telekinesis

little raven
#

Spawns the little spiders too the rat

carmine sonnet
#

Mmm yeah. I’m more afraid of those tentacle men tho

honest lynx
#

Just toss the soul cube at her and you're good

acoustic meadow
#

Scariest enemy? Pinkies for me; really scary and kinda chilling

little raven
#

@honest lynx you get the soul cube about 20 levels after that

scenic stratus
#

Scariest? Idk maybe the wraiths, those freaked me out when I was younger

#

scariest enemy for me is the commandos because they just run from across corners and sometimes behind doors... they are way too fast

honest lynx
#

@little raven you get it right away on nightmare

little raven
#

That’s cool

carmine sonnet
#

Tbh the Cyberdemon is such an easy boss the first time I beat it I thought there was gonna be another phase

honest lynx
#

@carmine sonnet no cyber demon but 57 commandos instead hahah.. picture that boss fight

scenic stratus
#

yeah it was lame but the hell portal was cool ngl... all the boss fights in the game were just underwhelming

carmine sonnet
#

Just throw the soul cube three times and bam goodbye

acoustic meadow
#

Why do people dislike doom 3?

carmine sonnet
#

@honest lynx ikr

scenic stratus
#

Because they don't understand what it was meant to be

#

It was very different from the previous ones... slow paced and it didn't kick off until halfway through the game. It was more horror than fast paced action but I liked it more because it was different tbh

carmine sonnet
#

@scenic stratus Because it applies a horror atmosphere, you’re less in control of the situation as you are in previous and later installations. It’s not hated as if it’s a bad game, because it’s not, it’s a great game. It’s just a game with a title that doesn’t fit it very well

honest lynx
#

Commandos in lost mission... they just jump out of every door nothing you can do if you dont nail that duck or right move In time

scenic stratus
#

In literally every way it's more like the classics except for movement than 2016 is...

#

solution... always keep the super shotgun equipped

honest lynx
#

Ssg always ..

carmine sonnet
#

@scenic stratus That’s up for debate. There’s much misconception on how the Classic Dooms should have been perceived

honest lynx
#

Also.. imps that jump out of doors are annoying

little raven
#

Shame ssg isn’t in the base game

acoustic meadow
#

I still think the marine we play as is badass; Imagine going thru hell and actually surviving. In the doom 3 universe that would be a crowning achievement

carmine sonnet
#

Some say horror some say badassery

little raven
#

Is ssg in roe

honest lynx
#

Yee

little raven
#

Or just lost missions

scenic stratus
#

yeah and lost mission

little raven
#

Is it good?

scenic stratus
#

good is a huge understatement

carmine sonnet
#

It’s basically hated because it’s much slower paced, and different and we all know how people react when something’s different

honest lynx
#

It's awesome in roe cause you slow time and put the thing right up a demons poop shoot

scenic stratus
#

Dude according to id at the time of 3's release it was the way they wanted to make the classics but couldn't because tech limitations

little raven
#

Wait a shotgun that is useable in 3 that’s illegal

acoustic meadow
#

That’s interesting

carmine sonnet
#

Actually y’know I think if that shotgun was better Doom 3 wouldn’t be so hated lol

honest lynx
#

And it feels like your using a straight up elephant gun its great

#

Only thing I really think the game needed was different ammunition types would be cool

carmine sonnet
#

And no reloading, sorry but reloading slows it down even more

acoustic meadow
#

Honestly, if you go into doom 3 without context, it’s a very good game. It’s just that people think they know doom and that they believe this was a bad installment in the doom franchise

carmine sonnet
#

Exactly

honest lynx
#

Yeah strafing around fireballs while you reload sucks

little raven
#

How about a no reload mode where you don’t reload but the game is much harder

carmine sonnet
#

I’ve played almost every Doom game, as I still consider it the Black sheep amongst its other installations, it’s still an amazing game especially for its time

scenic stratus
#

In terms of concept it's identical to the original, cannot say that at all about the new games

acoustic meadow
#

I always crouch when an imp hurls a fireball at me; its kinda rule of thumb

carmine sonnet
#

Yes yes

little raven
#

Tentacle whip guys attacks can be dodged by crouching

honest lynx
#

You dont have time to do that if you have 4 shooting at you and splash damage can end you

scenic stratus
#

Also there's mods for all your complaints lol

carmine sonnet
#

Wait I forget is your HP always at 25 on Nightmare or is that due to the difficulty I can’t remember

acoustic meadow
#

There’s an icon of sin mod for doom 3 that looks so fucking refined

little raven
#

Honestly if you took reloading out 3 it would break the game

honest lynx
#

It's always 25 but you can temp boost it for a few seconds

scenic stratus
#

@carmine sonnet you can keep it up with the soul cube but it drains overtime

carmine sonnet
#

Damn

honest lynx
#

It's fun as balls honestly. Just stressful

scenic stratus
#

I didn't really get in trouble until the shotgunners started showing up, then things really slowed down for me

#

nightmare in this game is a lot harder than the other ones

honest lynx
#

Yeah they actually scare me man .. like more than anything in the game hahah

#

Which is the opposite on every other mode

acoustic meadow
#

While midair, if shotgunners shoot you they can actually knock you back. Had to learn this the hard way

scenic stratus
#

they will also one hit you in nightmare since you'll most time be on 25 HP anyways

honest lynx
#

Yeah so if I see them I try to get distance and really land those shots. If I miss they just need to squeeze one off and I'm back to my save lol

#

I tested it today so even at about 20 feet you still insta die

scenic stratus
#

I just save whenever I hear the garbled radio, hit them with the shotgun, run to corner, peak out, repeat

honest lynx
#

Or at least half

#

^ same

acoustic meadow
#

Some jumpscares in this game are unsettling like the mirror one. Had me confused as fuck when I saw it

honest lynx
#

But I try to get assult headshots

#

When the room turns all red once in a while is messed . And the chainsaw room

carmine sonnet
#

Tbh Doom 3 is way more demonic than the other games

little raven
#

64 is pretty demonic

honest lynx
#

Eternal looks demonic too but in a different way

acoustic meadow
#

Yeah, there’s gore-nest like spawn areas (obviously pentagrams) for demons that seem to never stop

carmine sonnet
#

Also if you were wondering how long Doom 3’s campaign is it’s about 9 hours long @acoustic meadow

honest lynx
#

And the 2 expansions are 4 I think ? Each ? I think lost is shorter

acoustic meadow
#

9 hrs aint bad. I completed doom 1 in 4 hrs and 2 in 6, so 9’s a nice step

scenic stratus
#

RoE is 4 hours
lost mission is 1 1/2 hours

#

at least for me it was that long

honest lynx
#

That sounds about right

carmine sonnet
#

I think Doom 2016 is only around 7 hrs long

acoustic meadow
#

Thing is I get lost easily in doom 3, so its taking me awhile to do shit

honest lynx
#

Dooms 10 isnt it ?

#

Maybe because I did stupid shit like collecting things lol

carmine sonnet
#

Lol

honest lynx
#

Man I love PDAs too. I listen to all of them

acoustic meadow
#

Im glad RoE and LM isnt paid content, that saves my wallet plenty

honest lynx
#

And the videos remind me of starship troopers

scenic stratus
#

I hated the PDAs because you had to listen to a bunch of speech's just for a 3 digit code and it doesn't stop time (may or may not have gotten swarmed trying to listen to them)

honest lynx
#

Yeah I love little collectables in games and stuff. Like I get all into that shit lol

acoustic meadow
#

I wish someone gave us all the codes for stuff

honest lynx
#

Just look them up online

acoustic meadow
#

True

carmine sonnet
#

I love how they put the code AT THE VERY END of the recording so you’re forced to listen to to the whole damn thing

scenic stratus
#

I just googled everything I was tired of listening to all the speeches

#

i wish someone made a mod that adds martian buddy codes to the emails like in cursed edition

honest lynx
#

Only thing I hated in doom 3 was the radioactive barrels part.. legit made me mad because I suck

carmine sonnet
#

Martian buddy isn’t even available anymore :C

scenic stratus
#

thats why i say it

#

you can still look up the buddy codes

#

you cant obtain the codes without looking em up

#

but i dont want to take to the internet you know?

honest lynx
#

Wait I thought that was on a sticky pad or something ?

carmine sonnet
#

When you flip through your PDA trying to find the code then realize that it was stickynoted to the locker...

scenic stratus
#

the buddy codes were part of a website but it got removed so the only way you receive them is looking them up @honest lynx

honest lynx
#

Or on a computer screen hahah

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah

honest lynx
#

@scenic stratus ahhh okay. I'll need that because I'm also trying to get all the codes and pdas this time. But I hated how I had to kill 2 people in the begining to do it.. but whatever

acoustic meadow
#

I’m gonna switch off for today

#

Night

scenic stratus
#

mercy killing they were all gonna die anyways and as seen throughout the game... demons don't do it quick

honest lynx
#

Hahaha exactly ... the guys being eaten by a zombie demon when you go through the airlock

scenic stratus
#

I felt bad for the tortured guy on the ceiling with his stomach open like Doom marine should have shot him to end the suffering

#

can you not?

#

can you not shoot him?

#

i felt bad too, the demons in doom 3 are easily the most threatening

honest lynx
#

No man... I was wondering why I was never getting all pdas... you have to kill those 2 dudes

#

No other way

scenic stratus
#

fun

honest lynx
#

You also have to fry that guy trapped in the reactor for an achievement hahahah

scenic stratus
#

oh yeah

#

I swear first time I saw it I accidentally turned it on felt like shit and restarted the checkpoint

#

i did too

#

i never kill the npcs

honest lynx
#

Me either... they shouldn't make you

scenic stratus
#

I feel it's kinda stupid that you would have to kill innocents for an achievement like we know that's not what actually happened in the story but still...

honest lynx
#

Yeah man I was actually thinking 90 percent is fine .. I dont want to kill people for 100 lol

scenic stratus
#

technically you are sparing them, i still feel terrible though

honest lynx
#

I mean the reactor guy might make it ? Hahaha

carmine sonnet
#

That’s how I looked at it....Well hey, a bullet is better than being torn to bits

honest lynx
#

Now do the zombies souls get corrupted or are they possessed? Because I feel like they just get corrupted

carmine sonnet
#

Still I don’t see the reason why they make you kill innocents, you’re supposed to be the protagonist

#

I think corrupted?

honest lynx
#

And you cant me corrupted I'm guessing ? Because the demon souls just pass threw the people right

scenic stratus
#

I have played plenty of games where the protagonist is a shit person

honest lynx
#

In left for dead I jumped over my 2 downed buddies to get to the helicopter... so I guess I was the shit person hahaha

scenic stratus
#

long live the king

frozen cedar
#

hello

maiden kettle
#

Died soo many times, confusing where to go ?

boreal adder
#

I think they must be corrupted, cause doom3guy sees himself turn into a zombie when he looks in mirrors and he presumably still has a soul after that

acoustic meadow
#

Harbinger in doom 3 has to be my fav doom 3 song rn

honest lynx
#

@boreal adder very true... just has the strongest will or something so he last through the corruption. Or it could be because he just got there while everyone else was at mars for months or years.. having their minds and souls messed with for alot longer weakening them up

little gulch
honest lynx
#

iT s NoT ReAL DooM aNd SloW PaCed !... words of a true noob

scenic stratus
#

Indeed

acoustic kayakBOT
#

Indeed!

scenic stratus
#

see VEGA agrees

honest lynx
#

Honestly those people havent played passed an hour in doom 3.. or played on a really easy difficulty.. theres no way you'd think that way otherwise

scenic stratus
#

I can understand it, the game does have a much slower pace, however I wouldn't call it boring or "not a doom game". A lot of people say the maps are linear, yeah a lot are, but have you even played DOOM 2016? The maps have very similar designs.

honest lynx
#

I think they said they were going for the doom 3 aesthetic for 2016? The whole UAC feel and look is spot on

scenic stratus
#

yeah

#

2016's UAC looks really good

#

As someone who played Doom 3's entire campaign and both expansions, I agree with 95% of the criticisms about it

carmine sonnet
#

Same here, I’ve played most of what it has to offer. While I wouldn’t say it’s a non-Doom game, it clearly lacks what most people interpret a Doom game to have.

honest lynx
#

Definitely not a traditional doom game at all but I do like how you play in the perspective of just an average marine trying to survive a demon invasion. I mean how it would be for someone who isnt the doom slayer when hell opens up. That's why I like it and what I take it for

carmine sonnet
#

True. It is a fantastic game. I think it would have worked better if it didn’t sport the title of “Doom 3”

#

Because most people only criticize the game for lacking “Doomness

honest lynx
#

Ahhh yeah very true. But I honestly just think of it as a solider who's fu cked and I enjoy it that way. A name that better shows that would make more sense

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah, or like a spin-off title

honest lynx
#

Since the whole eternal dlc has been proven it's all slayer and not the view point of a solider on the ground doom 3 is the closest anyones going to get to play that story

restive dirge
#

Installing a game with 3 discs is totally radical
(4 if you count RoE)

scenic stratus
#

a name like DOOM: Lost in Darkness or DOOM: Total Lockdown would fit the game better and probably make people like it better because it would be considered a spinoff

#

(I actually really like that first name)

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah

honest lynx
#

Doom first contact maybe - highway to hell edition... which is bfg hahahaha just for cheese

scenic stratus
#

@scenic stratus nah it really should have been called Doom: Annihilation 😎

#

that would have been way better received

versed estuary
#

I’d say main campaign doom is indeed slowish for the first few hours

#

But that’s only cuz this was technically a retelling of the doom story/ trying to add a story

#

However once u get later on / the expansions it’s definitely faster

scenic stratus
#

ROE is so good

scenic stratus
#

anybody know why lost mission mod wont work with dhewm 3? this is the error code ERROR: Error: file script\doom_main.script, line 9: Unknown event 'setHomingMissileGoal'

coral solstice
#

Dhewm3 is incompatible with 99% of Doom 3 mods

scenic stratus
#

f u c k

#

stretched hud time

acoustic meadow
#

People are saying they want a dlc in eternal where we play as an average marine or UAC worker in a demonic invasion. Bruh don’t even pretend doom 3 doesnt exist

honest lynx
#

Yeah I was mentioning that up top^

scenic stratus
#

i just want more doom 3 :(

honest lynx
#

It's an end of an era my friend.

acoustic meadow
#

Im also pretty far in my doom 3 campaign. Lost souls got introduced, those hoes, and I got a plasma rifle. And let me tell ya, seeing the chaingun and plasma rifle got me from this doomguy_neutral to this doomguy_grin

#

There’s some kinda tiny cacodemon shit, dunno what it is

#

Spiders that swarm ya and is boner kryptonite as an AI

#

Im at a point where I travel by cargo or something? Idk, im just trying to find how to get out

scenic stratus
#

yeah this game rocks

#

@honest lynx it doesnt have to be

honest lynx
#

You think they'll make a doom 3 doom game ever again ?

scenic stratus
#

probably not

eager otter
#

like one with a similar genre? (horror)

#

i doubt

scenic stratus
#

only because fans dont care enough

#

thats why i mean it doesnt have to be

#

but sadly is

nimble wren
#

don't get your hopes up
best to look for other similar games instead

scenic stratus
#

never played a game like doom 3

acoustic meadow
#

Aliens

#

Just aliens

nimble wren
#

Half-Life is similar in gameplay and dabbles in horror elements
System Shock 2 has plenty of atmosphere and horror (not much scripted though)

honest lynx
#

I would say fear as well?

scenic stratus
#

cool

honest lynx
#

More like roe anyways

scenic stratus
#

more games to add to my to do list

nimble wren
#

yup FEAR is more equivalent to RoE
both have slowmo, for one thing

#

more like action in a horror setting

honest lynx
#

Exactly

#

But alot of fun the weapons are amazing

#

Alright back to the nightmare

scenic stratus
#

good luck

#

i just started lost mission on veteran

honest lynx
#

Veteran is the best I think hahah... this is giving me PTSD

nimble wren
#

there's also Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which has similar gameplay as far as combat goes
it has some horror themes but only for certain sections

#

there aren't that many games out there with gameplay directly inspired by Half-Life
since it was quickly drowned out by console-oriented FPS gameplay

scenic stratus
#

PTSD? Only ones getting PTSD should be the demons. doomguy_grin

honest lynx
#

Something about having 6 health right now haha

nimble wren
#

at some point, I plan on making my own Half-Life styled FPS game
complete with a good helping of horror elements

scenic stratus
#

yes

honest lynx
#

@nimble wren dou it !!!

nimble wren
#

I will, once I get familiar enough with Unity
it's one of the few game ideas I 100% want to make

#

it'll be titled Mutagenesis
as the same suggests, the enemies will be mutants
I went with that because there's a lot of potential for variety

#

it'll have a sci-fi setting
some of it will take place on Mars, in fact
there will be more environment variety than Doom 3 though
and an oxygen supply that lasts more than 60 seconds (a good 10 mins, I'm thinking)

scenic stratus
#

idea: do something sort of like metroid fusion and have the base (if there is one) feature a unique theme in each sector. example: sector 3 will be for growing plants thus it will feel more organic

nimble wren
#

each chapter will have its own location, with some amount of variety in each

scenic stratus
#

it also gives you an excuse to go bonkers with setting

nimble wren
#

one chapter will have a Mars base, with different sections, such as a weapons research lab

honest lynx
#

@scenic stratus this is my life now

scenic stratus
#

is that BFG

#

i kid

#

F

#

thats sad

nimble wren
#

how did you manage to throw the soul cube through the door

#

and it didn't hit the z-sec behind it??

honest lynx
#

It glitches threw sometimes.... but this time it wouldn't work so ..

scenic stratus
#

its cause of that damn phone BFG edition

nimble wren
#

temperamental glitchiness, huh

honest lynx
#

Hahahaha probably.. but man.. those dudes are the worst .. just standing behind the door... I swear they were supposed to run down the hall on that part

scenic stratus
#

also why are enemy shotguns literal snipers but your shotgun has the accuracy of a chimpanzee on cocaine?

acoustic meadow
#

Imps behind a door b like

#

hey baby

scenic stratus
#

makes me m a d

honest lynx
#

Dude... they one shot you at 20 feet

scenic stratus
#

and i can barely blow up a barrel

nimble wren
#

the spread values are different for sure

honest lynx
#

Hit scan ass munches

nimble wren
#

also enemy shotguns might not even fire pellets, I'm not sure

acoustic meadow
#

Imagine a Shotgun only run of doom 3

scenic stratus
#

this fucking shotgun is terrible

#

i keep dying because of it

nimble wren
#

@acoustic meadow difficult but doable, I think

acoustic meadow
#

It’s bad but RNG madness.

#

It one shots a revenant but 3 shots a pinky

honest lynx
#

Yeah cheese... it makes me sad... I have to ram it up their butts

acoustic meadow
#

From my experience anyway

nimble wren
#

the only RNG at play is the spread, really
the actual damage has falloff, probably

scenic stratus
#

you have to practically spoon an imp in your parent's bed to actually hit them

nimble wren
#

lol yes

acoustic meadow
#

I love the chaingun and plasma rifle though. Plasma a little bit more cuz ammo is almost NEVER scarce

honest lynx
#

If you're going to make a shotgun this bad at least give me fast reload or no reload.. damn

#

Standing there going click clock for 1 second means I die

scenic stratus
#

even the ssg suffers from bad spread even though nobody wants to admit it

honest lynx
#

Shhhh the ssg is a holy thing

#

We must not anger the doom gods

scenic stratus
#

in comparison to the normal one

acoustic meadow
#

The super shotgun has always been like that

scenic stratus
#

yeah

acoustic meadow
#

High damage, high spread

#

I dont see the problem

scenic stratus
#

it still feels odd to me

#

the classic ssg never felt like it

acoustic meadow
#

Actually, the SSG has always had high spread, no matter what game. You never notice cuz the damage per pellet is so fuckin high, it feels broken

scenic stratus
#

i never said it didnt

honest lynx
#

And the classic sounds amazing ... clue clonk clank

scenic stratus
#

the bfg edition ruined that too

acoustic meadow
#

What about the fire sound? BLAM

scenic stratus
#

GenericShotgunSound.mp3

acoustic meadow
#

It’s so good

scenic stratus
#

im talking normal one

acoustic meadow
#

I know

scenic stratus
#

the ssg has a holy noise

nimble wren
#

in Mutagenesis, I'm taking a different approach to a shotgun-type weapon
it's a plasma gun (not to be confused with the Doom plasma gun), so no more pellets
instead, it'll use two cones
the inner cone does full damage, then the outer cone falls off linearly from the edge
much more consistent than random spread, and still allows for glancing shots

acoustic meadow
#

I like the idea of that

#

There’s an incredibly broken doom 3 mod that has the pistol have fucking sticky bombs for bullets, glorious shit

scenic stratus
#

amazing

nimble wren
#

that sounds like that one beta HL2 weapon
a sticky launcher that used the pistol as a temp model

acoustic meadow
#

I forgot the mod name, but idk

honest lynx
#

I'd like a shotgun that drills into a demon and then explodes

acoustic meadow
#

Sounds like a spider killer

#

A crowd control gun kinda thing

#

Grenade throws feel weak, if you even throw up high it doesnt go far

nimble wren
#

like some kind of slug grenade?

#

interesting

honest lynx
#

Something like that.. some good splash damage for a group of 2 or 3

acoustic meadow
#

Do you guys like the chainsaw? I like it

#

It’s the great communicator

#

I bet nobody got that doom comic reference

nimble wren
#

you think we haven't read the Doom comic?

honest lynx
acoustic meadow
#

It’s cheesy lol

nimble wren
#

it is

acoustic meadow
#

But do you guys actually like the chainsaw? It’s pretty good against zombiemen but idk if it’ll be useful later on

carmine sonnet
#

I rarely ever use it

nimble wren
#

I didn't use it much
I just used the shotgun in close-quarters situations

#

also I played BFG so I barely needed to save ammo

carmine sonnet
#

^

acoustic meadow
#

BFG edition has you never run out of ammo

nimble wren
#

you only run out of ammo if you use one weapon exclusively for a while
happened to me with the plasma gun

carmine sonnet
#

Basically, which I find more fun It’s still challenging, If you play on higher difficulties that is

acoustic meadow
#

Plasmagun is so easy to get hooked on

#

It’s like kitkat, if you guys like it

carmine sonnet
#

Ikr

nimble wren
#

also I ran out of chaingun ammo during the guardian fight
since I was using it to kill the seekers

acoustic meadow
#

Guardian fight? The half human half spider person?

#

It kills that chinese marine?

#

Idk what u mean

nimble wren
#

spider? you're thinking of the vagary

acoustic meadow
#

it’s a bich to kill

carmine sonnet
#

No it’s like the 3rd boss in the game...or second? Can’t remember but you fight it in hell

nimble wren
#

guardian is the one big thing you fight in Hell
you have to kill all the flying things to open its weak spot

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah

acoustic meadow
#

Im not even IN hell yet lmao

nimble wren
#

oh

carmine sonnet
#

Ah well don’t worry, much like every other boss in this game, it’s pretty one dimensional

nimble wren
#

I just chaingunned the vagary I think

acoustic meadow
#

But I’m pretty far in. I have nearly each gun

nimble wren
#

you do get most of them before you go to hell
they get taken away at that point

acoustic meadow
#

I just need to know the code for the Big Fucking Gun when i’m in delta labs???

nimble wren
#

it's in an audio log and E-mail

acoustic meadow
#

Ah, ok

nimble wren
#

I say both because the code in the log isn't the real code
the E-mail explains why and gives you the information to figure out the correct code

acoustic meadow
#

Don’t you love when you gotta listen to the whole audio log to get a code

#

Is the bfg code hard to figure out?

nimble wren
#

no
the E-mail tells you which digit to change

acoustic meadow
#

Oh lol. Thought you’d have to do a huge puzzle or something

nimble wren
#

they're both on the same PDA so I hope you picked it up

acoustic meadow
#

I’m not up there yet but I’ll search high and low when I’m at that point

nimble wren
#

I forget where exactly the PDA is

#

where are you up to now?

acoustic meadow
#

Cargo puzzle or something?

#

Has 3 sections

nimble wren
#

like section name
Admin? Alpha Labs? Enpro?

#

because the PDA is in Alpha Labs Sector 4

honest lynx
#

I'm liked hyped when I get to fight demons and not hit scanners hahah

#

Feels so good

nimble wren
#

finally, something I can dodge

honest lynx
#

If I duck when i reload .. take out shotgunner first duck I mean might be able to win a fight

nimble wren
#

@acoustic meadow if you get the PDA or not depends on a choice you make
I won't spoil it in case you haven't gotten there yet, but you can only get access to the PDA if you make the morally right choice in that situation

honest lynx
#

Gotta catch em all.. PDA!

silk dawn
#

Wait shit do I have to do morally right things to get a certain ending

#

I've been killing everyone

scenic stratus
#

switched back to original doom 3 (not dhewm 3) runs smoother for whatever reason

honest lynx
#

@silk dawn nope .. smart move .. less zombies later

silk dawn
#

Ohhh ok sick

#

I was just doing it cause I thought it was funny

#

But that's good to know

honest lynx
#

Doesn't actually stop the amount of zombies I dont think but it's a mercy at least haha

acoustic meadow
#

I hit dead people with my shotgun so that later they don’t wake up and scare me

honest lynx
#

I always double tap haha

acoustic meadow
#

I hope I didn’t pass by the bfg, shit

honest lynx
#

Did you meet an archy yet

scenic stratus
#

you eventually get it after beating the sabbaoth boss anyway, dont stress

honest lynx
#

Should have left it as dong stress cheese

acoustic meadow
#

No I mean i probably left the PDA

#

Is it the one with saving the scientist?

#

Cuz if so I did

scenic stratus
#

D O N G

acoustic meadow
#

What’s the boss’ name in alpha lab 4

honest lynx
#

The spider cu nt

spring lotus
#

oh god yeah. I hated herso much...

honest lynx
#

Her names vagary though @acoustic meadow

scenic stratus
#

the vagary is annoying and a poorly designed boss

#

actually all of doom 3's bosses are

honest lynx
#

Just tosses shit at you and nothing you can do

#

Would be easier if you had the levitator

scenic stratus
#

on lost mission there is an archvile on map 2, what is this, plutonia?

honest lynx
#

Hahah .. oh there's more coming my friend

#

Ssg up the bum for them

scenic stratus
#

dont worry, i did it to all of em

#

really enjoying this so far, feels a lot like the classic games

honest lynx
#

Oh yeah man definitely my favourite.. it's short but sweet. Everyone loves roe but lost missions has a special place for me

#

Except the bum rushing commandos..

scenic stratus
#

lost mission is kicking my ass, hell yeah

honest lynx
#

Ain't your grandpa's doom!

carmine sonnet
#

Honestly this is the most chill chat in this server, kind of like it.

scenic stratus
#

its why i hang out here

honest lynx
#

I only use doom 3 now man mostly. It's super chill

woeful furnace
#

Doom 3 downloaded for me yesterday and I’m loving it so far

scenic stratus
#

what do you play it on

honest lynx
#

One of us... one of us..

woeful furnace
#

Wish the shotgun wasn’t so bad but eh, oh and pc

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah, pretty fun. Just gets a bad rap for not being “fast-paced”

#

Even though it does get pretty hectic later on

scenic stratus
#

now if you know me, you know what im boutta ask

carmine sonnet

Hm?

woeful furnace
#

I heard the bosses are easy as absolute hell

scenic stratus
#

what version of the game are you playing

#

the boses are piss easy

woeful furnace
#

Just regular doom 3, not Bfg edition or any others. Just regular

scenic stratus
#

a man of culture

honest lynx
#

I'm an uncultured swine

#

Will lots of ammo

scenic stratus
#

disgust

woeful furnace
#

Does the bfg version of doom 3 improve on the graphics? Or is it just minor improvements

carmine sonnet
#

I could only get the BFG edition sadly, I try to use the flashlight at minimum and I waste ammo to keep it more challenging

woeful furnace
#

Good plan

scenic stratus
#

why couldnt you acquire the supreme version

carmine sonnet
#

People consider BFG to be worse just because it takes away the flashlight which was a mechanic the game built around and it’s just easier in a sense

#

Idk, couldn’t find it

scenic stratus
#

its the ammo

woeful furnace
#

They took it away in the bfg edition?????

scenic stratus
#

y e p

woeful furnace
#

Wtf?!?!?

carmine sonnet
#

Yeah you get it on your shoulder

scenic stratus
#

now its just bad

woeful furnace
#

That’s stupid

scenic stratus
#

you cant bonk zombies anymore

woeful furnace
#

That makes the game a lot easier

scenic stratus
#

y e s

woeful furnace
#

Why do they make an easy game easier?????!!

carmine sonnet
#

Instead of having to take it out and feel vulnerable, you simply push a button and magical light appears

#

People complained about it before the BFG edition that’s why

woeful furnace
#

Absolute foolery

honest lynx
#

Cheese likes to bonk babies just so you know

scenic stratus

carmine sonnet
#

Yes I’ve seen a few clips lol

honest lynx
#

But I redeem myself by playing on nightmare which makes life horrible and why

woeful furnace
#

Ah yes, a man of culture

honest lynx

Bonk Dah babies

woeful furnace
#

I would do the same irl

If only we could get a little demon gib though

scenic stratus
#

the babies can be gibbed?

honest lynx
#

Seriously ? When ? How?

scenic stratus
#

i was asking you

#

i thought you were asking for a baby gib video, and i didnt even know if thats possible

honest lynx
#

Nah I was just thinking gibbed demons who vaporize as well would be sick

pearl eagle

Just platinumed doom 3

maiden kettle
#

Does DOOM 3 have any frustrating/ hair ripping out moments ?

scenic stratus
#

Only on nightmare

distant heart
#

Every time you use the shotgun

#

You fire and it's a toss up between "one-shot" and "demon loses one health"

proven zodiac
#

^

honest lynx
#

Also the part where you have to dump toxic waste into disposable holes

#

And commandos on nightmare

#

Shotgunners will one shot you 5 m away. Things like that

acoustic meadow
#

Im in communications and I was wondering if not sending the transmission type thing was a morally right choice? Idk about this game

#

Also idk where to go to finish the level

scenic stratus
#

it doesnt matter in the end, betruger contacts them anyway

acoustic meadow
#

ok

#

And where do you go to finish the level

scenic stratus
#

i dont remember to be honest

acoustic meadow
#

Shit

The end kappa

scenic stratus

i havent played the normal campaign all the way through in a while

acoustic meadow
#

The fear I had, not knowing where to go

cosmic garden
#

I'm sure there are, but rhetorically are there any games with worse camera shake on (melee) damage than this one? My biggest annoyance right now.

nimble wren
#

Source calls that "viewpunch"
it's much milder than Doom 3 though

carmine sonnet
#

@cosmic garden agreed

#

Sorry wrong ping Griffin

honest lynx
#

Dont get hit

nimble wren
#

@acoustic meadow yup that was the one
the PDA is in the office that the scientist goes to, and saving him is the only way to unlock it
check your PDA for Michael Abrams
that's the PDA that has the BFG code

#

also the BFG is in Delta Labs, so you haven't missed it

proven zodiac
#

Doom eternal comes out in 3 days and i still have to beat doom 3 and 2016 fuck me

versed estuary
#

U can beat the main campaign of doom 3 in 8-9 hours depending on difficulty.

2016 also about 11 hours or less depending on difficulty

nimble wren
#

that's about 20 hrs
you have time

versed estuary
#

About 7 hours a day of playing

acoustic meadow
#

@nimble wren thanks for the reassurement.

nimble wren
#

if you didn't get the PDA, you can always look up the code
it's the same every time

proven zodiac
#

Im already more than halfway done with both of them

#

Fuck it imma just only play doom for the next 3 days

honest lynx
#

Give me the strength to beat this nightmare mode today bros..

#

I still need to get roe done before launch

I can finally talk

scenic stratus

gougaru, how close are you?

honest lynx
#

@scenic stratus just an hour passed sarge bro

scenic stratus
#

ah

honest lynx
#

Man if you dont nail the soul cube rocket rocket rocket rocket hit... you're done.. it was a challenge

honest lynx
#

Man the shotgun rng is killing me right now...

sharp girder
#

I feel like when the direction team was making the demons for this game they said
"What if we make them look more alien"

honest lynx
#

Very true. I'd say the only real demonic looking creatures would be the cherubs and the hellknight.. maybe the mancubus?... but more alien for the rest for sure

sharp girder
#

The fuckin Cacodemon always got me

scenic stratus
#

The original Doom was supposed to be an Alien game, so it makes sense

honest lynx
#

Just a balloon thing lol

sharp girder
#

I didn't even know they were supposed to be Cacodemon, I thought they were a new creation.

honest lynx
#

They aren't even close haha

sharp girder
#

They almost look like the love child between a Cacodemon and a Pain Elemental

honest lynx
#

You mean the aborted fetus that reanimated itself

sharp girder
#

Lmao

honest lynx

Want some candyyy

Name that movie reference

I shall not

honest lynx
#

So close

#

It's related because that doom slayer shoulder cannon

versed estuary
#

Cherubs, is it morally wrong to kill them or let them liv

boreal adder
#

this would only be a valid question if Doom 3 was not a video game

nimble wren
#

even so
they aren't babies anymore
just like zombiemen aren't human anymore

versed estuary
#

XDDDD

honest lynx
#

Shout out to my boy cheese

acoustic meadow
#

Dude fuck the cherubs, they can commit eat tortilla chips vertically

#

Just pretend cherubs are the ice age baby

versed estuary
#

They can commit eat tortilla chips vertically
Holy shit I’m stealing that

acoustic meadow
#

Lol

#

The enemies i HATE are Trites, Cherubs and Commandos. The commandos especially because they knock me back, which can sometimes lead me off an edge

#

Also fuck revenants

#

Rockets or plasma rifle, kill it Q U I C K

nimble wren
#

trites and cherubs are manageable with the machine gun

acoustic meadow
#

True, but still fuck em. Boring to fight

versed estuary
#

Or tortilla chips megalel

scenic stratus
#

beter, did you see my cherub clips?

acoustic meadow
#

Yes

scenic stratus
#

watch em everytime you get mad at em

acoustic meadow
#

I hate em, they make me wanna shove rockets into their scrotum, deep in there

#

Just so I can also take out their lungs

scenic stratus
#

same

#

they dont appear very often either, removing them would benefit the game

acoustic meadow
#

Yeah. They’re the ice age babies of doom 3

honest lynx
#

@scenic stratus scroll up I posted it again ^

acoustic meadow
#

I wanna take a berserk pack and just beat up the cherubs tbh

#

But the enemy i’m not ready for is the archvile

#

Cacodemons are ok, they eat bullets, revenants are aids if you don’t use plasma rifle, mancubi sponge rockets, but ARCHVILES I’m scared of

nimble wren
#

soul cube, rockets, or BFG for those

acoustic meadow
#

I don’t have a “soul cube” yet

#

Idk what that is?

#

Is it like the bfg?

versed estuary
#

Oh u will love it

acoustic meadow
#

Does it have only one use?

honest lynx
#

One use after you kill a few demons it recharges

scenic stratus
#

no... after killing 5 demons the cube will say use us and it will give you all your HP back

#

@acoustic meadow

#

thanks gougaru

proven zodiac
#

Im almost done with delta labs sector 2

#

How close is that to the soul cube

honest lynx
#

You should have it already... ON NIGHTMARE... man I need to stop

proven zodiac
#

Huh

#

I've never even heard of the soul cube

scenic stratus
#

you're on nightmare so you had it since the start of the game HOWEVER due to the story obviously, you can't use it until you leave the Hell level

#

basically 3 levels ahead

#

wait I'm dumb I'm thinking of the Artifact from RoE lmao

#

I need sleep

honest lynx
#

Shhhh sleep little one

proven zodiac
#

Confusion

#

I'll just play through the game

acoustic meadow
#

Wow, soul cube sounds overpowered as fuck

#

Think I’m gonna switch off, night

scenic stratus

goodnight 🅱️eter

scenic stratus
#

@strong spindle Doom 3 wanted to be horror AND action which is why everything was slower paced. The buildup needed to be there so the atmosphere would be chilling throughout most of the game

#

I actually enjoy it more than I did the classic games

strong spindle
#

@scenic stratus Yeah, and it’s a good game in itself, but what it did to try to work in dooms story kinda made it a mediocre part of the series

scenic stratus
#

I thought the story in itself was very decent and the Hellish atmosphere was done great in the game moreso than any other installment. I understand action but this game actually had a good action/horror balance and I really loved the gameplay

#

also you're just a guy going into a crazy atmosphere with only 3 weapons you work your way into Delta Labs and when you go to Hell for first time it screams OG Doom in a different amazing way

#

from there it's all action and you're still creeped out from that one level, that's why I like it and feel it's a good Doom game

strong spindle
#

Those are valid points. The gameplay is very well done, but it’s the way they had dr. Malcoms character evolve and how that they used the soul mcguffin. It’s a great game, but the story bring is down in my opinion

scenic stratus
#

yeah the part about the soul cube was kinda shaky I'll admit and the whole "humans are a evolved form of aliens" subplot was dumb

scenic stratus
#

the amount of sexual harrassment on the UAC is absurd

#

I mean just listen to the female citizen's PDA audio logs and read their emails

#

not meaning to get political its just odd

ionic seal
#

doom 3... is a fine game

#

could do without the codes and countless cutscenes

scenic stratus
#

"countless cutscenes" i mean for doom maybe but not countless

ionic seal
#

lol

scenic stratus
#

about half way through its pure uninterupted Doom 3 ness

ionic seal
#

i still need to beat it honestly

#

made it 2 hours in and just

#

it felt like those few hours were like

#

idk slow

scenic stratus
#

yeah it starts slow

ionic seal
#

but you know what my favorite moment was?

scenic stratus
#

its expansions are much better. and sure

ionic seal
#

when the demons first invade. that was done well

scenic stratus
#

yes

#

honestly amazing

ionic seal
#

cause then i felt alone and that i was the only one that could stop them

scenic stratus
#

its just pure chaos over the mic too

#

constant yelling and screams of agony/fear

ionic seal
#

i was like

#

alright that's it

#

line em up

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 also has the scariest hell in my opinion, very threatening and very hellish

ionic seal
#

hell yeah

#

lol get it

#

i'm glad that 3 is the only "not well recieved" game in the series (not saying it's bad) cause like

#

this series could've died

#

and i'm glad it didn't

#

also i think people like it more now than they did before doom 2016

carmine sonnet
#

Agreed, since it was the last installment of the Doom franchise for over a decade, it kind of left an underwhelming mark, like an anti-climatic ending to a movie. Since the reboot/2016 installment, people seem to appreciate it more...and some still wont admit its a Doom game

ionic seal
#

well let's see

#

you are on mars/space, you murder demons violently, it's dark and horror like, it's an fps, the story is nonsense, and there's satan

#

i'd say it's a doom game

carmine sonnet
#

Exactly, and everyone knows the Nightmare difficulty is the true way to play any Doom game, and in Doom 3, it’s anything but slow.

ionic seal
#

yeah i'd say that the only thing that's missing is the fast movement but i have a problem with that

#

you could make the arguement that the old games weren't fast

#

like the dos releases

#

with the arrow key movement

#

pressing ctrl to shoot

carmine sonnet
#

I mean, the game has its flaws, but you can’t deny it’s a pretty good game. Just because it’s a different take on the franchise doesn’t mean it’s bad, people misinterpret it like that. Yeah it’s not as fast paced but it’s still action-based...

#

Idk, people who bash the game without solid criticism irritate me. I’m glad to see people appreciating it more

#

Even tho I prefer the other Doom games over it^

scenic stratus
#

Just beat the lost mission

#

and thats it for Doom 3 guys

carmine sonnet
#

Nice. I have yet to complete either dlc

scenic stratus
#

theyre better do them

carmine sonnet
#

I’ve heard, I’ll probably get to them eventually. Kind of set on finishing Doom 2016 on Nightmare again just to warm me up for eternal

ionic seal
#

finishing any doom on nightmare= doomguy_wicked

royal ginkgo
#

Should I buy doom 3?

safe basin
#

@royal ginkgo no

#

Dont do it bro i dont consider it a doom game no one should

boreal adder
#

well good for you then
but you're not him 😄

scenic stratus
#

it is a Doom game just a different approach using the same formula

#

seriously do people even play the game for more than an hour

boreal adder
#

I see more and more people come out of the woodwork in here liking it, so take that how you will 😉

scenic stratus
#

@royal ginkgo yeah you should it's not as fast paced as the first 2 but the atmosphere and the horror/action buildup makes the game really unique and it still holds up as a solid Doom game

boreal adder
#

if you got cat eyes and cat mind the dark won't bother you 😄

scenic stratus
#

I actually liked it dark because you never knew what demon was around the corner and it made you think something was always in the room with you

#

also it just adds to the pure silence once most people were killed off in the beginning

coral solstice
#

it should be forbidden by law to say "Doom 3 isn't a real Doom game"

scenic stratus
#

^^^^

seriously it's annoying just because it's a different take doesn't take away from what it is
