Except it can totally be a prequel because nothing contradicts it being a prequel at all

coral solstice
#

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

scenic stratus
#

I don't know why you're so mad lol

coral solstice
#

because you're just spouting out bullshit

scenic stratus
#

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.

coral solstice
#

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

scenic stratus
#

Oh well there you go. He was in therapy. There's no way it can be a prequel 😂

#

okboomer

coral solstice
#

or, again, Phobos and Deimos aren't mentioned at all

scenic stratus
#

Why do they need to be mentioned?

coral solstice
#

because that would make it clear that it's a prequel

scenic stratus
#

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? 😂

coral solstice
#

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

scenic stratus
#

Except for when it was called a prequel

#

So was Doom 2016

coral solstice
#

where the fuck did id call it a prequel?

scenic stratus
#

Doom RPG

coral solstice
#

RPG is a retelling of Doom 3, which is a retelling of Doom 1

scenic stratus
#

except they called it a prequel

coral solstice
#

where exactly in RPG did they call Doom 3 a prequel?

scenic stratus
#

And there's no reason it couldn't be, as it takes place on an entirely different planet

coral solstice
#

planet /-==-

#

planet does not equal moonj

scenic stratus
#

What are you strawmanning now?

coral solstice
#

you are seriously pissing me off

scenic stratus
#

Phobos and Deimos are moons of Mars

coral solstice
#

yeah, and moons aren't planets

scenic stratus
#

If Doom 3 happens on Mars first then he can go to Phobos and Deimos immediately after

#

There's zero contradiction

coral solstice
#

he's too much in shock from the events of 3 for that to happen

scenic stratus
#

😂

#

now he's in shock. Jesus fuckin christ

coral solstice
#

he was a normal human after all

#

the cutscenes even showed him in fear

scenic stratus
#

Okay and? How does that contradict anything?

#

No shit he's scared there's demons running around

coral solstice
#

also, if 3 were a prequel, how the fuck did his hair turn brown?

scenic stratus
#

You can dye your hair

#

😂

#

and like that matters. Hair is dark again in Doom 2016

coral solstice
#

either you're a troll and I'm falling for the bait, or you're a goddamn idiot

scenic stratus
#

You have not put forth a single valid reason why Doom 3 could not be a prequel

coral solstice
#

also, you didn't give me exactly where it was said in RPG that 3 was a prequel

scenic stratus
#

Not a one. You're just clinging to this idea that it isn't

coral solstice
#

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

scenic stratus
#

That's what you'redoing. "it just is" that's your entire argument

coral solstice
#

you haven't answered my question yet

scenic stratus
#

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.

coral solstice
#

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?

versed estuary
#

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.

lime quiver
#

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

scenic stratus
#

according to eternal thats not the case

#

doom 3 still has no place in the story but the classic dooms do

scenic stratus
#

Doom 3 is doom 3.
And doom 3 is great.
That's all I can Say.

sweet rapids
#

Alright so I got though all the dooms except for one. Doom 3

#

I guess it’s time

faint snow
#

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

tacit hawk
#

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.

opal cradle
#

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

versed estuary
#

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

rich karma
#

Is doom 3 bad?

versed estuary
#

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

trim void
#

Resurrection of Evil was awesome

scenic stratus
#

the best doom 3 campaign is resurrection of evil

versed estuary
#

Can confirm

#

Just the SSG alone makes it better

versed dove
#

ew dis game

versed estuary
#

Then why go in this chat?

sinful marlin
#

roe is boring with the artifact, too many refills and it's OP as hell

versed estuary
#

Have you tried.

Not using it

scenic stratus
#

yeah outside of the Hell Hunters you could literally do what bob said and not use it

young terrace
#

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

versed estuary
#

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

young terrace
#

NOOOOOO

scenic stratus
#

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

young terrace
#

That makes me sad lol

scenic stratus
#

they kinda did it towards the end of Eternal but it wasn't quite there if that makes sense

young terrace
#

Are the lost missions any good?

scenic stratus
#

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

austere haven
#

how long is doom

scenic stratus
#

took me about... 8-9 hours on the original campaign

austere haven
#

im on the mission in the soul factory part 2

scenic stratus
#

... that's eternal

austere haven
#

oh

#

is there a channel for eternal

scenic stratus
austere haven
#

thx

honest lynx
#

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

scenic stratus
#

yep

#

but keep in mind these 3 marines are really special or something

#

i mean bravo team dies to fodder

honest lynx
#

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

scenic stratus
#

yep

#

betruger is just a wannabe

#

at least hes cooler than olivia pierce

unreal silo
#

Doom 3 main theme is kinda a banger ngl

scenic stratus
#

for real

#

off topic but your pfp is godly

kind roost
#

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

scenic stratus
#

dont

#

buy the base doom 3 2004

#

and roe, there is a lost mission total conversion for 2004 version

kind roost
#

But the lost mission is only playable in bfg edition

#

Oh

scenic stratus
#

nope

#

its how i beat it

#

you need ressurrection of evil too

#

and the whole package is 11 bucks compared to 20

kind roost
#

Last I checked totalled to about $8 for base and roe together for me

scenic stratus
#

i sound like an advertiser but the 2004 version is much better

kind roost
#

Wierd price difference

scenic stratus
#

you will need custom commands to get it running widescreen though

kind roost
#

Those are easy enough to look up

scenic stratus
#

yep

#

the 2004 version features much better pacing

kind roost
#

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

scenic stratus
#

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

frozen nova
#

doom 3 already gave you quite a bit of ammo except for the chaingun

#

bfg ed goes overboard

scenic stratus
#

like WAY overboard

errant blade
#

I don't understand why giving more ammo would make it less fun.

scenic stratus
#

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

errant blade
#

I own both, but OG Doom 3 doesn't like running well on my PC

scenic stratus
#

i feel the pain

#

have you tried dhewm 3?

errant blade
#

Never heard of it.

scenic stratus
#

better widescreen support and compatibility

sinful marlin
#

Bfg edition gives 50% more ammo on all drops

scenic stratus
#

only problem with dhewm 3 is lack of mod support 90% of mods dont work

sinful marlin
#

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 megalel

scenic stratus
#

lmao

errant blade
#

yeah i'm looking at the compatible mods for Dhewm3, there's like, 5.

sinful marlin
#

What about doom redux, it has widescreen support

scenic stratus
#

doom redux is a great mod, however dont play it before the vanilla

errant blade
#

why?

scenic stratus
#

it adds and changes a lot

#

i mean im not telling you not to

#

but you should play the original first imo

errant blade
#

but the original doesn't work on my system.

scenic stratus
#

?

#

well if the original wont work i doubt the original with a mod would

#

that sucks dude

errant blade
#

Hm, according to the Redux dev it should work with Dhewm 3.

scenic stratus
#

ok

#

dhewm 3 is linux compatible if thats your issue

errant blade
#

no that's not my issue

errant blade
#

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.

trim void
#

Left-Side Glory Kill, is that MY left side, or the enemy's left side?

scenic stratus
#

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

errant blade
#

yeah i'll probably disable that because it's really distracting

wooden pond
#

@trim void not sure why that's being asked in a Doom 3 chat, but its the enemies left

late fog
#

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

coral solstice
#

it's based on BFG Edition but without all the extras like the mediocre Doom 1 and 2 ports

late fog
#

Oh sweet

ornate ore
#

Question: can bad computers run doom 3?

brisk narwhal
#

yes

ornate ore
#

How bad pcs can run it?

#

Its systems requirements seem low but its graphics are badass for its decade

brisk narwhal
#

my notebook can run it

ornate ore
#

Lol, thanks ig

brisk narwhal
#

please

ornate ore
#

My pfp is better uwu

#

Im the Corona Slayer

#

I just like the edit

honest lynx
#

So mean

scenic stratus
#

Doom 3 still looks amazing

carmine sonnet
#

Agreed. It’s textures aren’t great but the lighting makes the game look 5X better

honest lynx
#

It's always going to have a special place for me

scenic stratus
#

yep

#

the lighting in the original looks even better

sinful marlin
#

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 doomguy_profile_l

honest lynx
#

I honestly forgot there was a commando behind that door because you fight three of them just before that part. Its rough

versed estuary
#

Imp behind every door got old quick

sinful marlin
#

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

scenic stratus
#

they do

#

you have to kiss em basically but yep it does

errant blade
#

@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.

#

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 :/

kind roost
#

that wasnt even a mod unfortunately

#

it was a collection of bits and pieces of mods

errant blade
#

the point is i don't like "Modern" doom things like this.

#

I think it looks dumb.

kind roost
#

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

errant blade
#

That's different, i think.

#

dammit

versed estuary
#

Hello there, you look familiar

whatever happened to The Artifact from Doom 3 RoE?

scenic stratus

It's on yoru desk

errant blade
#

OH FUCK

scenic stratus
#

Correction
USE US

fervent crest
#

why is that mod banned

errant blade
#

@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

fiery mason
#

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

real dragon
#

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

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
#

never played it

#

i have seen it, but i never had the chance to play it

errant blade
#

@scenic stratus I don't think that'd be a concern, considering it's just a manual from 2004.

scenic stratus
#

thats what i thought, however it is included with a paid product and i didnt want to risk it

faint owl
#

Ok so what's new in the 2019 version?

scenic stratus
#

nothing i believe, its just the bfg edition

#

but with higher def menus and such

coral solstice
#

and without all the extras like the bad Doom 1 and 2 ports

Doom 3 for life

upbeat rock
#

Doom 3 is a very different experience than a lot of the others

coral solstice
#

@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

upbeat rock
#

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

coral solstice
#

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

upbeat rock
#

I complain about the shotgun from doom 3

#

you can't hit anything with it unless you stick it up a demons nose

coral solstice
#

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

upbeat rock
#

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

coral solstice
#

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

upbeat rock
#

I think what you need is dead space

#

trust me you would probably like it

coral solstice
#

people like you are part of why I like 3 more than 2016

upbeat rock
#

That dont make sense

coral solstice
#

Doom 3 had much better enemy sounds than 2016

#

I cannot fucking remember what 2016's Revenant sounded like

upbeat rock
#

the imp sounded like a xenomorph from Alien

#

and the mancubus looks like a giant octopus

coral solstice
#

3's Revenant sounds very recognizable

upbeat rock
#

true

#

but so is 2016's

coral solstice
#

I meant to put "sounds"

upbeat rock
#

I already said I like Doom 3

#

can u get off my back now

coral solstice
#

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

upbeat rock
#

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

coral solstice
#

oh, and one final wack-ass opinion I don't see anywhere else:
I liked Aubrey Hodges more than Mick Gordon

upbeat rock
#

Doom 3 only has 2 songs, menu screen, and pause menu screen

#

Now please get off my back

coral solstice
#

well, I was talking more about PSX and 64, but ok
now have you learned not to fuck with me?

upbeat rock
#

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

coral solstice
#

I already did

upbeat rock
#

good

coral solstice
#

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

upbeat rock
#

k, I really do respect you though, Doom 3 didn't get the love it deserved

versed estuary
#

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

coral solstice
#

and yet, somehow, he kicked Hell's ass

versed estuary
#

Yeah don’t get me wrong this random soldier is badass

coral solstice
#

he was badass, just because he was

versed estuary
#

But I liked how the game constantly reminded me
Lol you are just a human, a real human this time

scenic stratus
#

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

coral solstice
#

there is absolutely zero evidence to support that it's a prequel

scenic stratus
#

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

coral solstice
#

yeah, except on Mars instead of the moons

scenic stratus
#

There's just like a prologue chapter

coral solstice
#

it's a retelling of Doom 1

scenic stratus
#

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

coral solstice
#

no, it's not in the same timeline as classic Doom

scenic stratus
#

Oh well, whatever. Games sweet anyway

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 is after 1

ornate ore
#

2

versed estuary
#

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

scenic stratus
#

3 is a video game about the actual events that transpired on Phobos and Deimos, names changed for the sake of those involved

versed estuary
#

Doom guy and doom marine are 2 different people

the movie is based on 3 I think

versed estuary
#

I believe so

scenic stratus
#

I never saw it. I just watched the first-person scene

scenic stratus
#

the movie isnt worth watching

#

none of them are

coral solstice
#

@scenic stratus at least they're better than the novels

scenic stratus
#

yep

coral solstice
#

I am convinced the two dudes who wrote those things were tripping high on balls

boreal adder
#

...but that makes me want to read it more...

faint owl
#

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

boreal adder
#

what?

#

burn the heretic!

errant blade
#

I would think someone would make a mod for that if it actually was a problem

scenic stratus
#

pretty sure there is an ammo mod

versed estuary
#

Yeah once u get plasma rifle you can pretty much exclusively use it for the rest of thr game

scenic stratus
#

@scenic stratus doom 3 potentially takes place before doom 1 since he goes to mars then phobos and then deimos after

coral solstice
#

@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

scenic stratus
#

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

coral solstice
#

if it were a prequel, Phobos and Deimos would've been mentioned

scenic stratus
#

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

coral solstice
#

it doesn't really make sense either since Doom 1's plot is so simple compared to 3's

scenic stratus
#

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

ornate ore
#

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?

scenic stratus
#

dude what, how old is your pc

#

maybe try a port like dhewm 3?

ornate ore
#

My pc really is bad..my igpu is to say, and what's that port?

scenic stratus
#

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

ornate ore
#

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

honest lynx
#

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

ornate ore
#

...

#

I thought you were preparing an essay to help me lel

scenic stratus
#

idk if you guys are seeing part 2 but apparently it was posted in 1969

ornate ore
#

How is this supposed to help..

#

Can i play with the config.cfg file to change display settings?

errant blade
#

I'm not seeing part 2

ornate ore
#

xwx

scenic stratus
#

@honest lynx doom 3 takes place in 2145

#

No year is given that i can recall in ultimate doom or doom 2

ornate ore
#

Can i play with the config.cfg file to change display settings?

scenic stratus
#

@ornate ore probably

#

idk fully

ornate ore
#

Idk how to use the file tho

#

What to do to change settings etc

faint owl
#

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

scenic stratus
#

the original is better

#

the BFG edition isnt terrible but it is not as good as the 2004 original

ornate ore
#

BFG lets u play on consoles and smartphones, also has better graphics ig

versed estuary
#

The rerelease is the BFG version right?

sinful marlin
#

doom redux adds widscreen support without console commands

scenic stratus
#

it is

#

but minus shoddy ports of 1 and 2

faint owl
#

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

frozen nova
#

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

faint owl
#

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

scenic stratus
#

i would have been fine with the added ammo if they made encounters more frequent and altered levels to be more action packed.

versed estuary
#

^

scenic stratus
#

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

coral solstice
#

Perfected Doom 3 might fit the bill, but I haven't used it much since it's not very stable

scenic stratus
#

yeah, it had a bunch of bugs

frozen nova
#

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

scenic stratus
#

yep

#

same

honest lynx
#

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

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 is lit as is.

sinful marlin
#

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

scenic stratus
#

not played this mod of 3
but it sounds TERRIBLE

sinful marlin
#

My bad not perfected doom 3 absolute HD doom 3

#

Perfected has its own issues

scenic stratus
#

Is it worth owning OG Doom 3 in addition to BFG edition?

sinful marlin
#

No apparently people already ripped out the lost mission campaign and modded it to og d3

scenic stratus
#

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

fervent crest
#

I have both

sinful marlin
#

I own both too and can definitively say that og is better than bfg

scenic stratus
#

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

fervent crest
#

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

charred fox
#

Those are some awful takes

#

I’m not a huge fan of the monster designs in 3 but the original game still looks stellar

fathom quail
#

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

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 in VR would be fucking terrifying

#

apparently it is great

#

if i owned a vr it would be fun

scenic stratus
#

oh it would be.
watching the hell guardian and cyber demon....

#

BRUH

ornate ore
#

Can someone teach me how to use doom.config.cfg file?

scenic stratus
#

why tho?

ornate ore
#

Because game says "my current card/driver combination doesn't meet the game's features"

scenic stratus
#

@ornate ore look up some low spec doom 3 vids

honest lynx
#

@scenic stratus hows the nightmare run going bro

scenic stratus
#

havent been playing much. been playing a lot of eternal. but its going decent ish @honest lynx

Solid

honest lynx

My collectors is still on the way LOLLL

#

The helmet better be worth it

scenic stratus
#

lmao

#

its a fantastic game

honest lynx
#

You playing uv or night?

scenic stratus
#

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

charred fox
#

Shotgunners r dumb

scenic stratus
#

of course @honest lynx

honest lynx
#

Doing my first run nightmare. Dont think uv would be fun for me anymore

scenic stratus
#

this game is hard

#

a lot harder than 2016

#

i would personally recommend uv

honest lynx
#

Chaingunners are worse than shotgunners in doom 3 I'm starting to think.

scenic stratus
#

yep

#

they take like 2 rockets

honest lynx
#

They legit hit scan you even when you're in a vent or something

#

Its harsh

scenic stratus
#

chaingunners are evil

honest lynx
#

And they run a round like a chicken with their heads cut off .. their AI is weird

scenic stratus
#

Doom 2 did the same thing but at least they didn't try to chase you if you wanted to hide

honest lynx
#

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...

scenic stratus
#

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

sinful marlin
#

Plutonia be like “lol chain gunners and hidden archvile on the first level”

scenic stratus
#

plutonia is my favorite official iwad though

honest lynx
#

Not a fan of sigil ?

scenic stratus
#

i love sigil

#

is sigil canon now?

coral solstice
#

no

scenic stratus
#

oof

scenic stratus
#

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

versed estuary
#

Sigil is canon if you want it to be
And yes I know that’s not what canon means

honest lynx
#

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

scenic stratus
#

i never could get into halo even as a kid

honest lynx
#

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

scenic stratus
#

I never had an xbox

#

I borrowed my friends to play KOTOR

#

thought you played potato doom 3 on your crap pc gougaru?

honest lynx
#

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?

scenic stratus
#

Fantastic. Still good IMO. KOTOR2 as well. It reminds me of a simpler, better time when Biower wasn't shit

scenic stratus
#

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

bitter pebble
#

sorry but doom 2004 was godly good imo

scenic stratus
#

YES

#

YES x2

#

2004 edition > BFG edition

bitter pebble
#

i bought the game on 3x DVDS from game retailer in uk lel

#

in 2004

scenic stratus
#

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. doomcry 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 dealguy

#

sounds like your nephew is lucky

#

doom 3 is a masterpiece

honest lynx
#

If you want the real doom 3 experience... you need to play bfg

Kidding . I just like to make cheese mad

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.

scenic stratus
#

good memories

#

Me for the 4th time,

Why the hell am I dying to nothing??

#

Notices O2 bar, OOOOHHHH

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 moment

honest lynx
#

Very thing is fine .. until they give you an airlock...

scenic stratus
#

i never had problems with the limited oxygen sections

honest lynx
#

Well that's true but I still get anxiety when they pop up hah

versed estuary
#

When your sixth sense kicks in

#

Nightmare*^

scenic stratus
#

apparently RoE on xbox features flashlight on pistol instead of a normal pistol. and removes flashlight. i kind of wish bfg edition did that

versed estuary
#

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

scenic stratus
#

you play bfg edition?

#

(console rerelease counts)

versed estuary
#

Yeah on switch

scenic stratus
#

ah

versed estuary
#

I know it’s not the “best version” but it is fun

scenic stratus
#

i forgive you

#

yep bfg edition is fun, its what got me into the game.

versed estuary
#

I did however notice and don’t like the ammo being everywhere

scenic stratus
#

but

#

we all know the original is miles better

versed estuary
#

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

scenic stratus
#

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

versed estuary
#

I do like how the overall game is a bit brighter than classic doom 3
I don’t like insanely dark games

scenic stratus
#

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

versed estuary
#

My first run was on veteran, and I loved it, felt just good and hard enough to feel like a doom game

scenic stratus
#

yes! have you done it on nightmare?

versed estuary
#

Doing that rn, that’s what that clip above is from

scenic stratus
#

oh ok

versed estuary
#

Oh also I don’t sprint

scenic stratus
#

i just reached alpha sector 2 in my nightmare run

#

why dont you sprint?

versed estuary
#

So funny story, I beat the entire game on veteran never knowing you could sprint megalel

#

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

scenic stratus
#

lol

#

the switch joycon shoulder buttons bother me too

#

too clicky

versed estuary
#

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

scenic stratus
#

agreed

#

the weird analog sticks also rub me the wrong way

versed estuary
#

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

scenic stratus
#

definitely

versed estuary
#

Hmmm just realized there is a brightness setting in the options

scenic stratus
#

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

keen ravine
#

Just brought an og xbox with doom 3 collectors edition I now have way to many ways to play doom 1 2 and 3

scenic stratus
#

doom 3 on xbox is quite good

#

is it your first playthrough?

scenic stratus
#

The Hell Knight in this game is very creepy ! 😨

keen ravine
#

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

scenic stratus
sinful marlin
#

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

scenic stratus
#

Its still a fantastic port due to the hardware limitations

#

they couldnt copy and paste doom 3 pc onto it

sinful marlin
#

Intro scene is a cinematic for some reason

scenic stratus
#

yes its inferior, but its still fun

sinful marlin
#

A lot of rooms are split with doors

#

It’s the first version of doom 3 I played

scenic stratus
#

honestly the doom 3 campaign is bloated and i have no problem with most of the cuts

sinful marlin
#

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

scenic stratus
#

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.

sinful marlin
#

Least it wasn’t roe

#

Give classic doom level of demons but then give basically a bfg on steroids, damn artifact

ornate ore
#

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

scenic stratus
#

that sucks bro

#

have you tried dhewm 3?

#

classic doom 3 has a lot of compatibility issues

austere marsh
#

So this is the Doom 3 chat... Does Doom 3 BFG edition counts?

scenic stratus
#

yes

#

its doom 3

#

so of course

glossy widget
#

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

versed estuary
#

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

glossy widget
#

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

versed estuary
#

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

glossy widget
#

I'm just hypothetically thinking

#

about how could doom 3 be connected

#

with the rest of the series

versed estuary
#

In that case every doom is connected and so is Wolfenstein thanks to Youngblood mentioning other dimensions and portals

glossy widget
#

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

scenic stratus
#

Doomguy has a soul cube @glossy widget

#

In eternal

#

So what does this tell us

glossy widget
#

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?

scenic stratus
#

Some ancient doomguy with the ancient martian race who helped them kill the demons

glossy widget
#

just a thought

scenic stratus
#

Well no, the ones in 3 are martian civilization, sentinels are argentia

glossy widget
#

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

scenic stratus
#

Doubt

glossy widget
#

why?

#

It's plausible imo

scenic stratus
#

Because he would be using it if it was important to the story like that lol

glossy widget
#

good point

#

well maybe it had no souls inside then

scenic stratus
#

Theres no mention of the night sentinels ever making or using a soul cube to fight demons

glossy widget
#

yeah, you're right

#

it's probably empty

scenic stratus
#

And tbh slayer never needed a soul cube in his current form

glossy widget
#

I think of it as a last resort

scenic stratus
#

Tho I'd love to see it return as an equipment

glossy widget
#

used only in case when the race is nearing extinction

#

same

#

I probably think about it too much

scenic stratus
#

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

glossy widget
#

hmm

scenic stratus
#

||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||

glossy widget
#

hmm

honest lynx
#

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

Dou it !

#

I have a copy of doom 3 on the original Xbox. Can I play it on my Xbox one s?

scenic stratus
#

sadly not

#

i have tried too

#

you can play it on a 360 appparently

proven zodiac
#

This shits getting fucking annoying

#

6 imps spawning every 2 seconds and shit

scenic stratus
#

try playing on nightmare

proven zodiac
#

Bruh

#

I can't even reload without getting attacked by like 20 imps

#

Then I can't switch my gun while reloading lmao

scenic stratus
#

what campaign are you playing?

proven zodiac
#

Im just playing the regular one

#

Im in delta labs sector 3

scenic stratus
#

oh

proven zodiac
#

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

scenic stratus
#

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.

proven zodiac
#

Thanks, I knew how to kill commandos already but theyre still annoying. I keep forgetting I have a rocket launcher in this game

honest lynx
#

The crouch almost always works . You can also so etimes get away with going right.. sometimes

versed estuary
#

Yay I can now post my own sixth sense vid

@honest lynx big brain play

sinful marlin
#

huge brain play use the grenades you pick up in that room

faint owl
#

Doom 3 is like deus ex to me every time it's mentioned I have to play it again

sinful marlin
#

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

faint owl
#

What is the latest stable graphics mod for doom 3?

sinful marlin
#

that depends

faint owl
#

Or the best one I should say

sinful marlin
#

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

faint owl
#

Oh really? Nice

sinful marlin
#

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

faint owl
#

@sinful marlin random spawns sound like a cool challenge

sinful marlin
#

it tries to do some cool things like adding specters, barons, and pain elementals

faint owl
sinful marlin
#

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

faint owl
#

Ok redux looks awesome

#

Still in beta though 😩

sinful marlin
#

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

faint owl
#

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

sinful marlin
#

don't know about those

#

it only lessens some ammo cap for gun mags

faint owl
#

Oof I was hoping I could manually tweek them I want a more survival horror experience

sinful marlin
#

plasma gun goes from 50 to 40

#

there's also some little realism ones like this

#

permanent blood, bullet, and explosion decals

faint owl
#

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

sinful marlin
#

don't know about this one but it looks promising

#

yeah doom 3 is a weird hybrid keeping the doom 1-2 ammo caps

faint owl
#

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

sinful marlin
#

I rarely ever use sprint

#

the demon spawn time is so long you can just walk up and wait

faint owl
#

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

sinful marlin
#

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

honest lynx
#

Or chainsaw. I usually chainsaw the arch spawn but you're right. They still are able to spawn

sinful marlin
#

this shit fucked me up as a kid

faint owl
#

I remember my mom turning my PC off when I was kid because she saw me watching the maggot introduction cutscene 😂

sinful marlin
#

worst enemy gets a cool intro

#

well that and cherubs, trites, ticks

#

any super low hp ammo waster

#

LOST SOULS

honest lynx
#

Trying to use the chaingun on lost souls is fun

sinful marlin
#

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

honest lynx
#

Hell is the worst with cherubs because the asses spawn behind you at times

Mom: buys M rated game.

#

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

sinful marlin
#

There’s a few attempts at bfg support but very limited

scenic stratus
#

Beat the game on UV for the first time

#

Good stuff, roe next.

#

roe is superior

#

even has a ssg

scenic stratus
#

I've played all of doom 3 before. Just not on UV.

scenic stratus
#

ooh sorry

#

its better on veteran

#

all of it. at least imo

lucid narwhal
#

is doom 3 a good doom game? or just a good game in general?

scenic stratus
#

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.

lucid narwhal
#

i expected so.

proven zodiac
#

It's alright but it doesn't deserve to be titled doom 3

#

It's nothing like the others

fervent crest
#

yeah Doom 3 really feels like a spinoff, the name is what lets it down

serene salmon
#

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.

faint owl
#

@lucid narwhal it's the best Doom game

lucid narwhal
#

you sure about that?

faint owl
#

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

honest lynx
#

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

proven zodiac
#

The originals are way better than 3

#

3 was kinda hard to get into

scenic stratus
#

OG 3 is an excellent horror game, BFG edition is a snore

scenic stratus
#

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!

honest lynx
#

@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

honest lynx
#

Ahhh nope my downstairs headset is poo. Mystery solved

scenic stratus
#

most sound effects on the original seemed clearer to me , but yep, having a shitty headset does that. lol

charred fox
#

Doom 3 is the best game ever conceived

versed estuary
#

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

faint owl
#

@charred fox wouldn't go that far but it's pretty good

charred fox
#

It also has the best shotgun ever created

honest lynx
#

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

faint owl
#

@charred fox yeah true it kills everyone in the galaxy with that spread

clever wharf
#

i dont get why people think this game is bad

#

its pretty good

#

plus the theme's great

charred fox
#

Exactly lol @faint owl

upbeat island
#

The theme is definitely great. I love how Doom 2016 had a track based on it. Mick is truly the best

clever wharf
#

yeah

scenic stratus
#

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? coolcaco ⬆️

He's very nice, he just wanna enjoy his reward in Eternal, like all of us justright

@scenic stratus I’d just wait fam

scenic stratus

I have

Since the day before doom eternal released

#

Almost 11 days ago.

versed estuary
#

Lemme check to see if I can claim rewards real quick

scenic stratus
#

Okay

versed estuary
#

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

scenic stratus
#

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

versed estuary
#

Send a ticket to support?

scenic stratus
#

Yes

versed estuary
#

Get response from support?

scenic stratus
#

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

versed estuary
#

Then the best I can do is say wait for a response

#

Sorry I couldn’t do more

scenic stratus
#

It's fine mate

#

Don't worry

#

Thanks for trying! 💚

I sent you a screenshot in pm

scenic stratus
#

so I started my Doom 3 playthrough can you guess what I did right off the bat

honest lynx
#

Shot everyone in the head

scenic stratus
#

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

versed estuary
#

It is true

#

If you didn’t indulge in the punching of the turkeys did u even doom 3?

honest lynx
#

A true gamer also always watches the news broadcast

scenic stratus
#

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

honest lynx
#

Yeah and making him look like bones in poop. I mean the scene looks brutal
