it's just a retelling of Doom 1 with some things changed
and don't you fucking dare use the Doom 1 box art reference as evidence
because that's literally just a reference and nothing more
I don't know why you're so mad lol
because you're just spouting out bullshit
Doom 3 takes place on Mars. Doom 1 takes place on Phobos and Deimos
There is no reason that it couldn't have happened there first and then he goes to Phobos and Deimos
I mean it doesn't even take that much imagination to think of it as a prequel.
it's more likely that Doomguy was put into therapy at the end of 3
in the classic timeline, he was put into therapy between 2 and 64
Oh well there you go. He was in therapy. There's no way it can be a prequel 😂
okboomer
or, again, Phobos and Deimos aren't mentioned at all
Why do they need to be mentioned?
because that would make it clear that it's a prequel
Like what is this point you're trying to make?
So because they don't mention Phobos or Deimos in Doom 3then there's no way it's a prequel? 😂
if there's no evidence that it's a prequel, then it most likely isn't one
and again, Doom 3 was intended as a reboot
where the fuck did id call it a prequel?
Doom RPG
RPG is a retelling of Doom 3, which is a retelling of Doom 1
except they called it a prequel
where exactly in RPG did they call Doom 3 a prequel?
And there's no reason it couldn't be, as it takes place on an entirely different planet
What are you strawmanning now?
you are seriously pissing me off
Phobos and Deimos are moons of Mars
yeah, and moons aren't planets
If Doom 3 happens on Mars first then he can go to Phobos and Deimos immediately after
There's zero contradiction
he's too much in shock from the events of 3 for that to happen
Okay and? How does that contradict anything?
No shit he's scared there's demons running around
also, if 3 were a prequel, how the fuck did his hair turn brown?
either you're a troll and I'm falling for the bait, or you're a goddamn idiot
You have not put forth a single valid reason why Doom 3 could not be a prequel
also, you didn't give me exactly where it was said in RPG that 3 was a prequel
Not a one. You're just clinging to this idea that it isn't
again, give me the actual part in RPG that said 3 was a prequel to 1
don't fucking dodge my question
ok, now you don't wanna say anything
and I told you not to dodge my question
but you did
@scenic stratus where exactly in RPG was it stated that Doom 3 was a prequel to Doom 1?
I want specifics
"it just is" is not an answer
That's what you'redoing. "it just is" that's your entire argument
you haven't answered my question yet
It's on the Doom RPG website and in the BFG edition of Doom 3 where it states the guy in doom 3 is the same guy that's in 1 and 2.
I want pictures
altho I do vaguely remember Marphy Black tweeting about that
but anyways, who says a shitty little ad blurb is canon?
and if that's your only piece of evidence, then it doesn't fucking work
using a non-canon ad blurb as evidence is stupider than saying "it just is"
actual evidence would be John Carmack or someone's answer to the question "is Doom 3 a prequel to Doom 1?" in an interview
chickening out? running away?
I would like to point out segata is referring to the wiki about Doom RPG
Also it’s not the same guy
Even assuming we are in the same universe,
Doom 3 takes place in 2145
And the slayer is in the tomb in 2145 getting removed from hell by Hayden.
if anything the slayer wouldnt be the protag of doom 3 it probably took place in the same universe but there are too many plot holes for it to take place
and they did say 2016 was a reboot
according to eternal thats not the case
doom 3 still has no place in the story but the classic dooms do
Doom 3 is doom 3.
And doom 3 is great.
That's all I can Say.
Doom 3 takes place in 2145
Doom Eternal takes place in 2151 according to the trailer, and it takes place 8 months after Doom 2016
Doom 3 main protagonist isn't Doomguy but someone else maybe?
He looks like a regular marine, if I am not wrong, nobody even called him Doomguy or Doom Marine (Maybe I wrong about this)
Doom and Doom II - 2022
Final Doom - 2023
Doom 64 - Post-2023
Doom 3 - 2145
RoE - 2147
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal - 2151
But Doom Slayer has black hair just like the Doom 3 one ugh
Doomslayer is classic Doomguy confirmed. He just cannot be the Marine from Doom 3.
And I don't think he would dye his hair. After you survive Hell, the last thing you would think off is dyeing your goddamn hair.
does anyone know a fix that for doom 3 running only in the top left corner
changing my display resolution then running the game works but idk if thats the best for performance
Doom 3 2145
Doom 2016 lore, project manned Lazarus expedition, Hayden goes to hell to retrieve the slayer from his tomb,
In the year 2145
Doom 2016 when you wake up is then 2149
So no, slayer and doom 3 marine are not the same
And slayer has long since been locked in hell
Is doom 3 bad?
It’s actually a super solid shooter
The main campaign does take a bit to get truly good tho. The main campaign is roughly 8-9 hours
And it takes maybe 4-5 before it starts to just slam you with demons
The Ressurection of Evil expansion certainly adds wayy more demons way quicker, tho.
While resurrection of evil was only 4 hours long, I enjoyed it way more
Resurrection of Evil was awesome
the best doom 3 campaign is resurrection of evil
ew dis game
Then why go in this chat?
roe is boring with the artifact, too many refills and it's OP as hell
Have you tried.
Not using it
yeah outside of the Hell Hunters you could literally do what bob said and not use it
Doom 3 really took me by surprise lol I bought it to get the skin for eternal and was just inching my way along but I’m in hell now and it’s incredible, the guns are so satisfying to use and the story is really good. It might be my favorite of the first 3 now lol
Oof who wants to tell him
Hell as beautiful and awesome as it is, is only 1 level
My biggest gripe about doom 3. Not enough beautiful he’ll
NOOOOOO
I've played Eternal... Doom 3 still has the best Hell thus far. Why don't iD just take the same look and feel to put it in future installments the atmosphere was perfect and you can't beat it
That makes me sad lol
they kinda did it towards the end of Eternal but it wasn't quite there if that makes sense
Are the lost missions any good?
eh... it was more or less the same as RoE so it was boring imo. The only saving grace were the last 2 Hell levels which the layout looks like a 3D version of Doom 2
the story wasn't really anything special imo which made me really want to go to Hell
how long is doom
took me about... 8-9 hours on the original campaign
im on the mission in the soul factory part 2
... that's eternal
thx
I always thought it was funny that betruger makes fun of you for calling a fleet of marines when he was literally t baged by just three of them. The whole sneaky infiltration tactic hell used backfired a bit
yep
but keep in mind these 3 marines are really special or something
i mean bravo team dies to fodder
Let's say theres 10 thousand marines in this fleet though and he kills almost all of them except maybe 100 are badasses.. hes screwed hahaha
Doom 3 main theme is kinda a banger ngl
Debating on bothering Bethesda with a request for lowering the price of doom 3 bfg edition for people who already have doom and doom 2 in their library
dont
buy the base doom 3 2004
and roe, there is a lost mission total conversion for 2004 version
nope
its how i beat it
you need ressurrection of evil too
and the whole package is 11 bucks compared to 20
Last I checked totalled to about $8 for base and roe together for me
i sound like an advertiser but the 2004 version is much better
Wierd price difference
you will need custom commands to get it running widescreen though
Those are easy enough to look up
First thing I do if it's modable is get rid of the God awful flashlight
I'd rather have a gun or armor mounted flash light
duct tape mod
classic
the reason bfg edition sucks so much is that it makes things way too bright and gives you so much ammo the game isnt even fun
doom 3 already gave you quite a bit of ammo except for the chaingun
bfg ed goes overboard
like WAY overboard
I don't understand why giving more ammo would make it less fun.
too easy
like way too easy
to the point it isnt fun
i think bfg edition is pretty mediocre
not terrible, just dont buy it over the original
I own both, but OG Doom 3 doesn't like running well on my PC
Never heard of it.
better widescreen support and compatibility
Bfg edition gives 50% more ammo on all drops
only problem with dhewm 3 is lack of mod support 90% of mods dont work
I don’t have to run doom 3 in any compatibility mode but a more recent game like the first mass effect needs me to run it in windows 7 compatibility 
lmao
yeah i'm looking at the compatible mods for Dhewm3, there's like, 5.
What about doom redux, it has widescreen support
doom redux is a great mod, however dont play it before the vanilla
why?
it adds and changes a lot
i mean im not telling you not to
but you should play the original first imo
but the original doesn't work on my system.
?
well if the original wont work i doubt the original with a mod would
that sucks dude
Hm, according to the Redux dev it should work with Dhewm 3.
no that's not my issue
Well, the acoustics in the mars base are fascinating.
I don't know if everything's supposed to have an echo to it or not.
Left-Side Glory Kill, is that MY left side, or the enemy's left side?
dhewm 3 does that to sound you can disable it if you want, im pretty sure its efx or something like that, its on the front settings page
yeah i'll probably disable that because it's really distracting
@trim void not sure why that's being asked in a Doom 3 chat, but its the enemies left
Is the Switch port of DOOM 3 based off the original or the BFG edition?
I don’t think it says BFG edition on the menu for it
it's based on BFG Edition but without all the extras like the mediocre Doom 1 and 2 ports
Oh sweet
Question: can bad computers run doom 3?
yes
How bad pcs can run it?
Its systems requirements seem low but its graphics are badass for its decade
my notebook can run it
Lol, thanks ig
please
Doom 3 still looks amazing
Agreed. It’s textures aren’t great but the lighting makes the game look 5X better
It's always going to have a special place for me
By better we mean darker
Also to the dev that thought putting imps and commandos right behind doors for a cheap guaranteed hit unless you know it’s there 
I honestly forgot there was a commando behind that door because you fight three of them just before that part. Its rough
Imp behind every door got old quick
iirc 1 runs away and another comes in then they both turn around
Then that 1 behind the door
I use a modded shotgun that does less damage for more accuracy so idk if they take 1 good face blast from a shotty or not
Id Tech 4.5?
Game says my CD are invalid even though I bought it on steam today
@modern lodge This has the same vibes as that modern doom mod that got removed for some reason
I donno, i just know it was a classic doom mod and it was removed from moddb for some reason
it tried to make everything look really modern(for like 2018, i think?) and just made everything look really ugly.

Doom Remake 4, the community-made monster of a mod that remastered the classic PC shooter with a thorough face lift, has been shut down. Th...
this one
that picture has the same vibe as this mod.
It looks fine, i just see that and think of this and i'm like :/
fair
i do like emulating the experience of doom games my system cant play tho
like my pc can handle up to doom 3 and roe
but doom 2016 and eternal it cant
so i get mods for classic doom that gives it the same kind of feel
whatever happened to The Artifact from Doom 3 RoE?
It's on yoru desk
OH FUCK
Correction
USE US
why is that mod banned
@fervent crest personally i like to believe it was banned for being ugly as shit
but the actual reason is probably because it was just using bits and pieces from other mods without permission
Folks, help me out please. I'm trying to buy the digital (2019 version) version of Doom 3, but I just... can't! Trying to do it from the launcher puts me into the empty shopping cart page; when I try clicking 'Doom 3' on the store page (https://bethesda.net/en/store), the link leads me to doom.com - which is then redirected to the Slayers Club, which doesn't have the Doom 3 section. So, how do I buy the new (non-Steam) version of Doom 3? Thanks in advance
The official site for Bethesda, publisher of Fallout, DOOM, Dishonored, Skyrim, Wolfenstein, The Elder Scrolls, more. Your source for news, features & community.
go and click on the games tab in the side bar and then search doom 3 and hit add to cart on the Bethesda website you must have gotten a bad link for a second there
Still getting the error... Also found a place to 'Buy now' Doom 3 on the Slayers Club page, but the link also doesn't work, I'm getting 'Something went wrong, please try again' and getting thrown to the main store page... The link is https://bethesda.net/en/store/product/DO3GNGPCBG01 - does it work for you?

I can't run doom 3
Default.pfg not found
May i have some help?
There were a few advices on stream comments but still it doesn't work
Im sure the file path is wrong but idk how to change it
Aw.
F
dumb ish question: would i get in trouble sharing the original doom 3 digital manual from 2004? i thought it was interesting.
Whats that xd
Any love in here for Doom: Resurrection? The iPhone rails shooter based loosely on doom 3. Found my old phone the other day and have been giving it a whirl, it's a fun little distraction, I think it aged fairly well for what it is..
@scenic stratus I don't think that'd be a concern, considering it's just a manual from 2004.
thats what i thought, however it is included with a paid product and i didnt want to risk it
Ok so what's new in the 2019 version?
and without all the extras like the bad Doom 1 and 2 ports
Lol yeah those are real bad
F

well then guess he'll keep having problems
Ever wondered if Doom 3 will run on Windows 98 with a 12MB 3dfx Voodoo 2 graphics card? No? Well too bad, we're doing this anyway.

for some reason the thumbnail of crusty graphics betruger coupled with the word "voodoo" is the funniest thing ever to me
interesting video btw
i had the voodoo 3 2000, i played UT and Q3 arena
voodoo betruger is amazing
This needs to become an emoji. But what would it mean?
Confused Bewilderment
WATruger
Doom 3 for life

@upbeat rock this feels like an attack on me because that's my actual opinion
also, it's a meme, and not a very well-made one either so
its a joke though, I didn't even post it originally
someone else did
also I have no Idea how you could think that, I like Doom 3, but I think it doesnt really compare to how good 2016 was, in my opinion
for one thing, I can actually hear the enemies in 3
2016's Barons should not be that stealthy, and the SSG should not be that quiet
second, it didn't lock me in rooms until everything was dead and let me chicken out like in classic Doom
I complain about the shotgun from doom 3
you can't hit anything with it unless you stick it up a demons nose
third, it's got something that 2016 and Eternal don't have: horror
even classic Doom had its spooky moments
and fourth, it's fuckers that think Doom 3 is one of the worst things to ever exist and that Doom should be all-action with a metal-only soundtrack
Doom doesn't need to entirely be over the top comedic gorey action, it can work with horror too
Doom was never a horror based game, I like doom 3 but it doesnt feel like doom at all, but it was still good, it was a different take on Doom
and it doesn't really need a metal soundtrack to be good either, as PSX and 64 demonstrate
again, classic Doom had its spooky moments like the monster closets and the end of E1M8
not to mention that a few tracks weren't metal
people like you are part of why I like 3 more than 2016
That dont make sense
Doom 3 had much better enemy sounds than 2016
I cannot fucking remember what 2016's Revenant sounded like
the imp sounded like a xenomorph from Alien
and the mancubus looks like a giant octopus
3's Revenant sounds very recognizable
I meant to put "sounds"
and again, I have no memory of what 2016's Revenant sounded like, if it had any sounds at all
oh, and one last thing:
I liked how Doom 3 Doomguy fucked up Hell with absolutely no explanation how to other than the Soul Cube
even then, he was doing serious shit before he got the Soul Cube
and despite all that, he was just a regular human being
meanwhile, the Doomslayer obviously has superpowers and enhancements to do all that stuff, but Doom 3 Doomguy didn't seem to need that
He was trying to survive a demon army, and in 2016 the demons are trying to survive Doomguy
I don't even call the dude from Doom 3 Doomguy, I call him Doom Marine cuz he's just some random marine, but hes pretty badass nonetheless I just think no where near as badass as Doomguy
now can you please get off my back
oh, and one final wack-ass opinion I don't see anywhere else:
I liked Aubrey Hodges more than Mick Gordon
Doom 3 only has 2 songs, menu screen, and pause menu screen
Now please get off my back
well, I was talking more about PSX and 64, but ok
now have you learned not to fuck with me?
not really
you didn't really teach me anything, you sound like any other hardcore doom 3 fan, and I already said like 7 times I really do like Doom 3
Now please get off my back
I already did
good
but I will talk about why I like Aubrey Hodges more than Mick Gordon in #690991771039039498
don't worry, you don't need to get involved
k, I really do respect you though, Doom 3 didn't get the love it deserved
Actually doom 3 guy is just Doom Marine
He referred to that multiple times during the story,
I 100% appreciated what the game was going for
Doom 2016, heavy metal super fast paced murder spree, because the slayer is some super human badass killing machine
But doom 3 marine, he’s just a random soldier
Poor dude was told to find a scientist, not stop the forces of hell
The music, the darkness, the panic that sets In at turns, jump scares, all of it is to convey the feeling that yeah, you are just a soldier, way in over your head
and yet, somehow, he kicked Hell's ass
Yeah don’t get me wrong this random soldier is badass
he was badass, just because he was
But I liked how the game constantly reminded me
Lol you are just a human, a real human this time
true
doom 3 is amazing in that regard
if you come in expecting doom 2016 you will be dissapointed
If Doom 3 is a reimaging of the original, doesn't that mean it overwrites it canonically? I don't understand Doom 3 canon at all. the wiki said it was a prequel but i've seen people argue that it isn't a prequel and it's a totally different game so idkwtfbbq is going on
but it isnt a prequel
it just kind of exists
there is absolutely zero evidence to support that it's a prequel
Well it starts a little before the guy first arrives, but then it's just Doom 1 again right?
So it's like not a prequel
yeah, except on Mars instead of the moons
There's just like a prologue chapter
it's a retelling of Doom 1
But it's not the canonical doom 1 then? I would think if they reimagined Doom 1 as Doom 3, then Doom 3 would take precedence in the timeline
no, it's not in the same timeline as classic Doom
Oh well, whatever. Games sweet anyway
doom 3 is after 1
2
Neither
Doom 3 is a “reboot” of doom 1
It doesn’t fit into the time line
The real timeline is
Doom 1-2-64-2016-eternal
3 is some spin off alternate dimension if you willl
3 is a video game about the actual events that transpired on Phobos and Deimos, names changed for the sake of those involved
Doom guy and doom marine are 2 different people
the movie is based on 3 I think
I believe so
I never saw it. I just watched the first-person scene
@scenic stratus at least they're better than the novels
yep
I am convinced the two dudes who wrote those things were tripping high on balls
...but that makes me want to read it more...
Anyone here played Doom 3 without the hud? It's awesome
Although I wish all the guns had a ammo counter like the SMG. Or Prey 2017
That way No hud would be even better
Also is there a way to tweak the ammo pool and pick ups in the bfg edition. They're way too big...
I don't need 100 spare shotgun shells
I would think someone would make a mod for that if it actually was a problem
pretty sure there is an ammo mod
Yeah once u get plasma rifle you can pretty much exclusively use it for the rest of thr game
@scenic stratus doom 3 potentially takes place before doom 1 since he goes to mars then phobos and then deimos after
@scenic stratus for the last fucking time, there is no evidence to support that Doom 3 is a prequel to Doom 1
and it's been stated by the devs that it's a reboot
Doom 2016 is also a reboot but a sequel at the same time
I'm just saying that given the story of doom 3 since it takes place on mars instead of phobos, it can fit snuggly within ultimate doom's story
if it were a prequel, Phobos and Deimos would've been mentioned
At the end of doom 3 you're found by a group of marines, and it could fit within doom's manual where it says that deimos disappears and phobos is under attack and you and the group of marines are the only ones who can help at the moment so you head to phobos. They all die and you're the only one left
I'm not saying its confirmed I'm just saying it could definitely fit
it doesn't really make sense either since Doom 1's plot is so simple compared to 3's
Ultimate doom came out in 1993 so ofc the plot will be a lot simpler
The philosophy for video games at the time was that story was all but pointless
I can't run doom 3 bc it says my video card/ driver combo does not meet the game's features, can i run it by changing settings via config.cfg file?
My pc really is bad..my igpu is to say, and what's that port?
it is a program that is more compatible with modern systems that lets you play the original game
it also features better widescreen support
the only downside is lack of mod support
I saw, but it says it supports 64 bit , i have 32 bit..
What if i play with the config.cfg file? But idk how to use it xwx
I dont know how to tag the person saying that doom 3 guy could be doom slayer doom guy but they are absolutely not the same person. Doom 3, no matter how much I love the game is just about a bad luck marine who came to the base early enough not to be affected by the prolonged psycho demon attacks. As well as that the time line puts him in the 2100s to close to any other event. If only doom 3 was maybe the 2080s or 2070s it could very easily be a prequel or first contact with hell game
Buyers guide for Doom 3
idk if you guys are seeing part 2 but apparently it was posted in 1969
How is this supposed to help..
Can i play with the config.cfg file to change display settings?
I'm not seeing part 2
xwx
@honest lynx doom 3 takes place in 2145
No year is given that i can recall in ultimate doom or doom 2
Can i play with the config.cfg file to change display settings?
Original is better
Wish BFG edition had a "classic" mode
Also I see it as Doom 3 is a Reboot and Resurrection of Evil is a Doom 64 reboot
the original is better
the BFG edition isnt terrible but it is not as good as the 2004 original
BFG lets u play on consoles and smartphones, also has better graphics ig
The rerelease is the BFG version right?
doom redux adds widscreen support without console commands
Meh I just use source ports anyway also it comes with no rest for the wicked
Which is the best Doom Episode out of all of them
thing is there was already a lot of ammo in the original version
or rather the ammo cap was really large
so increasing the amount of ammo in pickups, and increasing the amount of pickups on top of that was going too far
Doom 3 is already kinda easy
BFG edition removed what little challenge there was
Yeah that's why I wanted to tweek it even more so you can only carry 1 clip in your ammo pool. Like only 8 shells spare.
Also I wish I knew how to speed up the enemy spawns
They're too slow
i would have been fine with the added ammo if they made encounters more frequent and altered levels to be more action packed.
^
So uh, whats the best doom 3 mod to make it a fast af shooter
al-a OG doom or new dooms
idk, never looked for that kind of thing
Perfected Doom 3 might fit the bill, but I haven't used it much since it's not very stable
yeah, it had a bunch of bugs
I wouldnt want a mod that changes doom 3 into an approximation of doom 1
id rather a mod that polishes Doom 3 as it was intended
All of doom so far is taken place in the 2100s if you think otherwise you need to review your lore
Van's or whatever the way you say your name
doom 3 is lit as is.
Absolute HD doom 3 is really odd
It claims to enhance the combat AI when really all it’s doing is allowing it to cheat more
It just turns the aggression to 11 and let’s demons run around at max speed despite the animation not syncing up well
Imagine for example the imps normal walking animation but it’s been speed up to match its new speed it’s really uncanny creepy
It also attempts to add in the baron and pain elemental by editing some models
The stuff in hell is really bad looking every demon now has a ton of glowing symbols on them so you’re just getting attacked by rave dancers
Oh yeah forgot that when given the option demons will almost always try to close the distance and melee you as that attack does the most damage, you have to be a football field away for them to not try and bull rush you
not played this mod of 3
but it sounds TERRIBLE
Is it worth owning OG Doom 3 in addition to BFG edition?
No apparently people already ripped out the lost mission campaign and modded it to og d3
they did
i played it, it is pretty faithful and a fun ride.
BFG is the one I have installed.
oh ok
the original doom 3 has a few different mechanics and better pacing (in my opinion). its darker, the flashlight is a weapon and there is less ammo lying around.
yes, the original doom 3 is a bit better
also, found this cool piece of history http://warp.povusers.org/doom3snapshots/
I have both
I own both too and can definitively say that og is better than bfg
yeah, the purpose of it is to be dark and spooky
I've heard the VR version of doom 3 is the best
vr mod (i think its a mod) is for the bfg edition though
I watched a video on enemy model comparisons from Ultimate Doom - Doom Eternal, and so many comments were about how the Doom 3 one's look so bad and ugly, not just in terms of design style but they were saying the engine was bad and they look like they ran horribly in game and how it didn't look good for a 2004 game and I was just sitting there thinking that they don't realise Doom 3 was a technological marvel for its time
Those are some awful takes
I’m not a huge fan of the monster designs in 3 but the original game still looks stellar
The stuff in hell is really bad looking every demon now has a ton of glowing symbols on them so you’re just getting attacked by rave dancers
@sinful marlin
LMAO FUCKING RAVE DANCERS
doom 3 in VR would be fucking terrifying
apparently it is great
if i owned a vr it would be fun
Can someone teach me how to use doom.config.cfg file?
why tho?
Because game says "my current card/driver combination doesn't meet the game's features"
@ornate ore look up some low spec doom 3 vids
@scenic stratus hows the nightmare run going bro
havent been playing much. been playing a lot of eternal. but its going decent ish @honest lynx
Solid
You playing uv or night?
I tried to get back into Doom 3 but eternal literally ruined every Doom game for me
I keep trying to rush and jump only to get destroyed by shotgunners
lol nice
Shotgunners r dumb
of course @honest lynx
Doing my first run nightmare. Dont think uv would be fun for me anymore
Chaingunners are worse than shotgunners in doom 3 I'm starting to think.
chaingunners are evil
And they run a round like a chicken with their heads cut off .. their AI is weird
Doom 2 did the same thing but at least they didn't try to chase you if you wanted to hide
I ran into a chain gunner believe delta 3 when you're in the vent and I tossed grenades because he hit scan you and kills you instantly on nightmare... got a hit marker and he dissapeared... jump down and head to the door.. dude didnt die. He ran to the far door where he was teaming up with an arch...
chaungunners arent bad in doom 2
but final doom? nope nope nope
what about the industrial zone where they are high in the towers
you can't see or hit them but can do so to you
AND no places to hide
Plutonia be like “lol chain gunners and hidden archvile on the first level”
plutonia is my favorite official iwad though
Not a fan of sigil ?
no
oof
canon is whatever you want it to be, none of these games make sense
it makes perfect sense
run and shoot demon. shotgun go boom
Yeah but now we got sentinels and space aliens with magic wings and shit
Sigil is canon if you want it to be
And yes I know that’s not what canon means
Does anyone else love the fact doom is whatever you want it to be ? I was a big halo fan when I was a kid but they tried so hard to make a story they ended up making a convoluted mess
I like a story open to interpretation
i never could get into halo even as a kid
I loved combat evolved. That and doom was the only games I played. But the new games just feel like a straight up cod wanna be and I just never bothered playing them
I never had an xbox
I borrowed my friends to play KOTOR
thought you played potato doom 3 on your crap pc gougaru?
Yeah doom and it wasn't potato ... max payne 2 played just fine now that you remind me
Man first time I played doom 3 on my pc.. I didnt care it was going to blow my shit up... it looks so damn amazing
@graves how was knights of the old republic anyways?
Fantastic. Still good IMO. KOTOR2 as well. It reminds me of a simpler, better time when Biower wasn't shit
Glad I still own an Xbox so hopefully I can play all those classics again; plus I play Doom 3 regularly on it
i prefer doom 3 on PC but i do sometimes play my collectors edition on it
Anything but BFG Edition. It's fine, but way too easy.
Save anywhere (OP af), all the ammo, too much extra health;
the OG releases compared to a Nightmare run on 2016 is equivalent to that but 2016 is still harder cause Checkpoints are scattered
Digress, but I'll still play it too
It's DOOM
the BFG edition is a solid meh/10
not bad but definitely not the original
I adore the original. So good.
Flashlighting an enemy feels so good
it has the ability to one shot a zombie if RNGesus is on your side
sorry but doom 2004 was godly good imo
It's just... A really great game. No bullshit, just horror and shooting at some of it's best
i was really mad when i found out the 2019 version was keeping the BFG edition changes
RNG idk. I'll shoot an Imp 4 times
IDK
Shotgun: one shots imp
also shotgun: takes 3 shots to kill an imp
I accept and love that challenge
i hate rng shotgun
And the actual button for sprinting
sometimes its great, but mostly not
I miss the sprint button.
toggle thumbstick is awful
yep
the xbox version has the best controls
the dpad works wonders for binding weapons to
Fully custom is best controls, I agree
the og xbox is literally the best console of the generation
it has the best versions of almost all my childhood games
Pretty much yeah. Superb lighting, decent story, a lot of collecting lore;
Seriously one of the best of it's generation.
It's like old school Resident Evil but with aiming lmao
yes
And I love it
although the og pc version is better
except for one thing
MP
the xbox port has full widesceen support
:O
Multiplayer for me honestly
But I agree widescreen is awesome
I have MONSTER cables for it
i dont have any friends with xbox so i cant do the system links
so :(
I have my nephew finally
Ill invite you over one day 
sounds like your nephew is lucky
doom 3 is a masterpiece
If you want the real doom 3 experience... you need to play bfg
Kidding . I just like to make cheese mad
angry cheese noises
The most I remember of this game is killing random people and dying due to suffocation on the Martian surface.
I was little when I first played it.
good memories
Me for the 4th time,
Why the hell am I dying to nothing??
Notices O2 bar, OOOOHHHH
doom 3 moment
Very thing is fine .. until they give you an airlock...
i never had problems with the limited oxygen sections
Well that's true but I still get anxiety when they pop up hah
apparently RoE on xbox features flashlight on pistol instead of a normal pistol. and removes flashlight. i kind of wish bfg edition did that
I wish there was an option for that as well, but for my next playthrough imma play as if I can only use flashlight with pistol out
Yeah on switch
ah
I know it’s not the “best version” but it is fun
I did however notice and don’t like the ammo being everywhere
Once u get plasma rifle you can use it everywhere nonstop until u best game pretty much
And I don’t like that, I like switching weapons
the only thing i like about bfg edition is how they handled the new shoulder light
it isnt infinite so light conservation still sort of exists
I do like how the overall game is a bit brighter than classic doom 3
I don’t like insanely dark games
it is
and that too doesnt bother me as much
its the removal of muzzle flash and the ammo more common than grains of sand in a desert that bothers me
My first run was on veteran, and I loved it, felt just good and hard enough to feel like a doom game
yes! have you done it on nightmare?
Doing that rn, that’s what that clip above is from
oh ok
Oh also I don’t sprint
So funny story, I beat the entire game on veteran never knowing you could sprint 
So now I’m just used to not sprinting,
That and now that I know how to sprint, I don’t like clicking my joycon sticks
Hmmm, the clicking hasn’t bothered me, I just dont like how the cons feel
Weak
Considering they are $40 each I expect them to feel SOLID and they don’t
I mean the sticks themselves I got used to easily
I play doom Nightmare only, and Youngblood and the sticks are fine
It’s just the clicking I really don’t want to do
My left stick already drifts too =/
However, games like doom don’t use slight pressure
The games have a dead zone in the center of each stick, and a tiny circle outside of the center doesn’t count as movement
So on all doom games specifically I don’t drift thankfully
Doom 3 would be a pain with drift
definitely
Hmmm just realized there is a brightness setting in the options
yep
lowest brightness is still brighter than og doom 3
but its close
and its honestly the best setting
Some day I outta play the original doom 3.
dew it
That requires me getting into pc gaming
Something I wil probably do some day.
aw yeah
you do need a pc for that, lol
I play og doom on pc occasionally.
I usually just play xbox doom.
ah
Just brought an og xbox with doom 3 collectors edition I now have way to many ways to play doom 1 2 and 3
The Hell Knight in this game is very creepy ! 😨
Nah not the first play through I had played it when it first come out and I was 8 father thought it would be a good introduction to video gaming along side unreal tournament 2004 and serious sam

Xbox doom had to be cut down so much to make it run
Levels chopped up into 4 pieces some just straight up missing
Texture work was cut in half
Its still a fantastic port due to the hardware limitations
they couldnt copy and paste doom 3 pc onto it
Intro scene is a cinematic for some reason
yes its inferior, but its still fun
honestly the doom 3 campaign is bloated and i have no problem with most of the cuts
The EFR level was cut before the vagary
No platform if with controller
I honesty liked the monorail ride and n Xbox better
Scenery was more realistic of it being carved into a tunnel
I don’t think anyone liked the level with moving loader on the electrified rail
Like yeah it makes the base seem more real moving through environments that are simply storage areas but really not needed in a game about hell spawn on mars in the future
Xbox also had the cool sequence with the chainsaw zombie in delta labs 4 when you’re going down the hallway
and the civilian getting gunned down
dont forget that one
they also make you look for a key card in the intro level to make up for how it was cut. they try to make up for it, its not all lose.
Least it wasn’t roe
Give classic doom level of demons but then give basically a bfg on steroids, damn artifact
After a conversation with ppl from a lowspec pc discord server..i realised i can't go anywhere unless i get rif of my sht and upgrade a new pc
I can definitely not run doom 3 like this
that sucks bro
have you tried dhewm 3?
classic doom 3 has a lot of compatibility issues
So this is the Doom 3 chat... Does Doom 3 BFG edition counts?
so I just got an idea
how could doom 3 fit into the lore
Basically right after slayer got captured, demons attempted another invasion into our universe so they picked mars as the place where they teleport first in order to have an element of surprise
but the invasion gets stopped by the Marine and John Cane (Doom 3 ROE protagonist)
the reason why I think so is that slayer appeared on the tablets and he was most likely the one who gave the soul cube to the aliens in order to save them from demons, which is plausible especially since he travelled through time and space between the events of 64 and 2016
And since both the DOOM 3 facility and 2016 facility are on mars, have a soul cube inside and share certain details such as the monorail, it is safe to assume that after DOOM 3, the base got repaired and then it was slowly being rebuilt and modernised into what we got in 2016
Doom 3 takes place in 2145
The slayer was brought out of hell in 2145 during project Lazarus manned expedition.
Meaning the technology was already advanced way b4 slayer was taken out of hell
or perhaps Doom 3 just takes place in a parallel universe
Doomslayer visited at one point
between the events of 64 and 2016
or what if DOOM 3 and 2016 take place at the same time, in the same universe
but in different facilities
and there were multiple soul cubes or the one in the 2016 facility is just a model
What if’s don’t really matter if we can’t play them 🤷♂️
And after the “reputation” doom 3 got, I highly doubt we will see any thing else like it, or based on it, ever again
I'm just hypothetically thinking
about how could doom 3 be connected
with the rest of the series
In that case every doom is connected and so is Wolfenstein thanks to Youngblood mentioning other dimensions and portals
yeh
because the machinegames wolfensteins are alternate universe to the classic ones
in classic ones, allieds won but the machinegames wolfensteins seem to be paralel universe where allieds were defeated and people are trying to get rid of the nazi oppressors
and in doom rpg
it was mentioned that the classical BJ is doomguy's grandfather iirc
though I dunno if that is even considered canon
but if it is
we could argue that the classical wolfenstein universe is in fact
the same one as the main doom one
I feel like a crazy conspirator rn
well, multiple soul cubes
and that slayer probably did indeed visit the doom 3 universe at one point
I do wonder how they are manufactured. I guess some aliens had to sacrifice themselves in order to create the doom 3 soul cube
which would explain why it speaks, they are controlling it
So probably the DOOM Eternal soul cube could contain souls of dying Night Sentinels?
Some ancient doomguy with the ancient martian race who helped them kill the demons
just a thought
Well no, the ones in 3 are martian civilization, sentinels are argentia
bruh
I am saying that the doom 3 soul cube is powered by alien souls, but eternal soul cube is a different one
powered by night sentinels
Doubt
Because he would be using it if it was important to the story like that lol
Theres no mention of the night sentinels ever making or using a soul cube to fight demons
And tbh slayer never needed a soul cube in his current form
I think of it as a last resort
Tho I'd love to see it return as an equipment
used only in case when the race is nearing extinction
same
I probably think about it too much
The ancient stuff still seems like it layed the ground work for night sentinels and argent d'nur as an idea
The doom 3 tablet with the soul cube can be found
In 2016
When they went on that expedition so idk the significance of it
hmm
||Tho the argentia did visit earth before the time of man, and found the primal creatures called the aggadon i think they're called, which were used to make doom hunters later on||
hmm
You guys should really try not to talk spoilers in doom 3. I mean you can do what you want but alot of people come here to talk because they dont have the game yet
Cheers broski. You're solid
sorry
time to do some more doom 3 nightmare
Dou it !
I have a copy of doom 3 on the original Xbox. Can I play it on my Xbox one s?
try playing on nightmare
Bruh
I can't even reload without getting attacked by like 20 imps
Then I can't switch my gun while reloading lmao
what campaign are you playing?
oh
Everytime i open a door theres the dude that swings his arm at you then a revanant then a chaingunner
Shits annoying
I was never all that good at games like this anyway lol
crouch and shotgun the commandos (tentacle dudes)
works almost everytime. chaingunners? usually 2 or 3 rockets will kill them. hide behind corners and when they stop to reload then shoot them. if they get close use the shotgun.
Thanks, I knew how to kill commandos already but theyre still annoying. I keep forgetting I have a rocket launcher in this game
Nightmare reflexes https://imgur.com/a/GopxIRY
The crouch almost always works . You can also so etimes get away with going right.. sometimes
Verrryyy nicceee
ded imp
@honest lynx big brain play
huge brain play use the grenades you pick up in that room
Doom 3 is like deus ex to me every time it's mentioned I have to play it again

some of the floor grate textures are messed up, they appear blue instead of black holes
but it was sikkmod with wulfen textures on top
What is the latest stable graphics mod for doom 3?
that depends
Or the best one I should say
there's multiple mods that try their hands
sikkmod just injects a bunch of shaders and stuff into the game it doesn't fix any textures
Oh really? Nice
just a lot of dof and some gameplay things you can use if you want like a helmet light, random spawns, special enemy encounters, zombies getting back up, player walk speed, player health and armor
warning though like none of them work, if you try to enable hdr that sikkmod has it becomes a rainbow vomit
@sinful marlin random spawns sound like a cool challenge
it tries to do some cool things like adding specters, barons, and pain elementals
but the spawn rate is a small percentage to spawn in place of a regualr pinky, hellknight or caco
some weapon placements on your guy are moved, you see more of the shotgun and the plasma gun is lowered so it doesn't look like your face is next to the heat vents
also shotgun now reloads 1 shell at a time instead of the weird 2 shells per animation
iirc it has some parallax occlusion
if you want something similar doom redux has overhauled nearly the entire games texture work, even UI and HUD elements
I use that with a weapon rebalance mod that makes the shotgun more accurate, longer chaingun reload and much larger belt, less bouncy grenades, faster and stronger rockets, adds recoil to the pistol so it isn't dead on accurate, slightly less plasma ammo per cell
bfg and soulcube are unchanged
yeah it says beta cause not all textures are done
it's mostly door textures in later levels
if I had to guess the texture work is like 98% done
Ahh anything that decreases ammo pick up amount and ammo pool for every weapon as well as less health on pick ups
That's something I really want
Oof I was hoping I could manually tweek them I want a more survival horror experience
plasma gun goes from 50 to 40
https://www.moddb.com/mods/realistic-weapons I use this one
there's also some little realism ones like this
permanent blood, bullet, and explosion decals
If you notice on the realistic weapons mod he has over 300 shells in his pool this is something I have a big issue with in Doom 3
don't know about this one but it looks promising
yeah doom 3 is a weird hybrid keeping the doom 1-2 ammo caps
If the shotgun only held 4 shells and you only had 12 in your pool it would be so much better imo
Just bumrushing enemies on spawn with 8 shells in the shotgun is so easy
I would even go as far to remove sprint
I rarely ever use sprint
the demon spawn time is so long you can just walk up and wait
Yeah it's not needed like at all
That's also something I would change. Would be sweet if each monster had a unique spawn sound and faster spawns like removing the roar animation the imp does on spawn everytime and just go into a attack
Like just after the spawn he's already about to throw his fire ball
I'm not sure how hard it is to mod these thing though. I would do it my self
there are rare moments when maggot spawns are faster or imp spawns are instant
but it's never more than fodder demons
when archviles spawn they typically immediately summon, only way to stop them is to know their spawn point and preempt a soulcube at them
Or chainsaw. I usually chainsaw the arch spawn but you're right. They still are able to spawn

this shit fucked me up as a kid
I remember my mom turning my PC off when I was kid because she saw me watching the maggot introduction cutscene 😂
worst enemy gets a cool intro
well that and cherubs, trites, ticks
any super low hp ammo waster
LOST SOULS
Trying to use the chaingun on lost souls is fun
have to say cherubs are the worst, their sporadic dodges and unpredictable lunge attack that they'll use either across the damn room or not at all
Hell is the worst with cherubs because the asses spawn behind you at times
Mom: buys M rated game.
Game: is disturbing.
Mom:

man, i really wish i could find my doom 3 install... is the patch for bfg, or for disk og?
mods are pretty much only available for og version
so og
ah, unfortunately, i looked into it, and the patch looks like its only for rereleases
There’s a few attempts at bfg support but very limited
Beat the game on UV for the first time
Good stuff, roe next.
roe is superior
even has a ssg
I've played all of doom 3 before. Just not on UV.
is doom 3 a good doom game? or just a good game in general?
I would love if Doom 3 was enhanced with Ray Tracing like Quake 2 was, a "Doom 3 RTX Edition". Just imagine how amazing it would become; id Software, Bethesda, please make it happen!
is doom 3 a good doom game? or just a good game in general?
@lucid narwhal Better general game than a Doom game.
i expected so.
It's alright but it doesn't deserve to be titled doom 3
It's nothing like the others
yeah Doom 3 really feels like a spinoff, the name is what lets it down
Back in the day the multiplayer was great, typical fast death matches were a lot of fun. Shame it was not added to the ps4 release I enjoyed the multiplayer a lot.
@lucid narwhal it's the best Doom game
you sure about that?
Nah it's the 3rd best though right behind Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal
Worst ones are the originals
Imo
If were talking about the base game
Only thing the originals are good for now are mods
Like I get to E1M7 in The Ultimate Doom then stop. Because it's just down hill from there
I dont know the originals have this funky weird vibe to them now and they're a blast when you're extremely stoned and want to trip out and have some weird fun. Still play the originals when I'm baked. Theyre my go to games for that
OG 3 is an excellent horror game, BFG edition is a snore
BFG edition can be fun
but i agree
the flashlight mechanic is kind of interesting, taking huge inspiration from the duct tape mod. however its the added ammo and limited dynamic lighting that get me, why isnt there muzzle flash!
@scenic stratus might just be me but the sound was better as well. But i think my pc set might just be better I dont know. I noticed the other day that the weapons sounded a little more farty
Ahhh nope my downstairs headset is poo. Mystery solved
most sound effects on the original seemed clearer to me , but yep, having a shitty headset does that. lol
Doom 3 is the best game ever conceived
I wouldn’t say the best personally,
But it definitely ranks in my top 10 favorite games of all time
My top 10 list isn’t ranked, I like my top 10 all the same for different reasons
@charred fox wouldn't go that far but it's pretty good
It also has the best shotgun ever created
Shoot shotgun, notice an impact on the ceiling of the hall for some reason ...
Youd think they'd want to use slugs not buckshot for a mars base with possible pressure breaches as an issue
@charred fox yeah true it kills everyone in the galaxy with that spread
i dont get why people think this game is bad
its pretty good
plus the theme's great
Exactly lol @faint owl
The theme is definitely great. I love how Doom 2016 had a track based on it. Mick is truly the best
yeah
hello there
can any of you guys who knows anything about doom 3 and the weird glitch i'm experiencing, please look at the #showroom-archive real quick
Can someone here help this dude?
⬆️
He's very nice, he just wanna enjoy his reward in Eternal, like all of us 
@scenic stratus I’d just wait fam
Lemme check to see if I can claim rewards real quick
Okay
Well I already claimed it, it says I’m all set
Try to log out in doom 3, and log back in with Bethesda account
I have
I have un-installed it, and re-installed it many times
Even un-installed the launcher and re-installed it
Doom 3 has always been on my "not nearly as good as the original" side of things
Send a ticket to support?
Yes
Get response from support?
Not yet. Literally just found out what the file they wanted me to send with my message is. So i sent it to them less than an hour ago
I wish I had a stringy penis arm like the commandos
Gougaru has reached a new low lol
we all know everyone wants to be the guy on the ceiling during the maggot intro scene
I just want a girlfriend who plays Doom 
to achieve that you have to find a girlfriend first
loneliness
free pornhub
fuck it




y e s
no difference
so I started my Doom 3 playthrough can you guess what I did right off the bat
Shot everyone in the head
no I played super turbo turkey puncher 3
I mean I had to get the Killing Time achievement on Xbox One
and yes that means I wasted 15 minutes of my life spamming the Y button to get to 25000 score
as a true gamer would
It is true
If you didn’t indulge in the punching of the turkeys did u even doom 3?
A true gamer also always watches the news broadcast
you know it's funny you could also make a whole game just revolving around super turbo turkey puncher 3
I'm not like an official game like just with your friends just to see who can get the highest score
I also got another rare achievement on Xbox for killing the scientist in the reactor chamber
Yeah and making him look like bones in poop. I mean the scene looks brutal
