It's that simple

silk sigil
#

I wish there was a toggile in BFG to make it like the OG game.

#

Flashlight, ammo and such

#

Also the game is too fucking bright.

scenic stratus
#

Also the game is too fucking bright.
@silk sigil weird i thought that doom 3 was dark and was supposed to be scary

fair pebble
#

does the bfg edition actually have the bfg tho

carmine sonnet
#

...yes

vale sand
#

Dont know much about doom 3 but damn its main theme is catchy

fair pebble
#

and mick brought it back for harbinger

stable lake
#

and it's the best theme on the '16 OST imo

honest lynx
#

The band's called tweaker if anyone's interested

scenic stratus
#

is the steam version of doom 3 good?

#

are there better or cheaper versions of doom 3 on other platforms?

half plank
#

The 4.99 USD version is superior in most fans' opinion, it also has mod support, so go with that one.

#

You'll need a few console commands for widescreen and such though.

scenic stratus
#

what about mouse input?

half plank
#

mouse is solid

scenic stratus
#

all right. ever since i've disabled mouse acceleration, i've been vigilant about it. feels so good

half plank
#

basic commands:
r_aspectratio 1 (for 16:9)
r_mode -1
r_customwidth [width of screen resolution]
r_customheight [height of screen resolution]

then do

vid_restart

scenic stratus
#

r_mode?

half plank
#

open console with CTRL + SHIFT + ~ simultaneously.

scenic stratus
#

Gonb

half plank
#

r_mode is needed to tell the game to accept the commands

#

or something, i dunno, it's needed though

scenic stratus
#

so buy the $4.99 regular version and not the $19.99 bfg edition? double checking because im ready to complete the purchase

half plank
#

BFG Edition has no mod support, and really is only viable for console.

#

The expansion is 3.99 usd, and BFG edition's lost mission can be modded in. There, saved you money.

scenic stratus
#

ty

half plank
#

no problem

scenic stratus
#

Doom 3 original is also on Bethesda launcher that comes with expansions already, has widescreen support, and you can use controllers.

half plank
#

but without butchered 1 and 2 ports

scenic stratus
#

It has both. Regular and BFG.

half plank
#

for real?

#

Damn, well Steam's better anyway

scenic stratus
#

Just an option, but not sure if the one on Bethesda is moddable like Steam.

half plank
#

who knows

scenic stratus
#

Nevermind, you are right about Doom 3 being the essentially same as BFG on Bethesda’s site. Confusing because the store has both titles, so thought re-release was same as original, just updated. It does offer skin for Eternal, which is something I wish Steam would get too.

scenic stratus
#

where do I download Perfect Doom 3 ?

honest lynx
#

No idea why the skin isnt a doom 3 marine. That would be tight

visual arch
#

why does every enemy look soo different from their appearances in doom 1 and 2

#

and they even look extremely off from even the doom 64 designd

#

like i swear to me pinkies look like robotic peepees

honest lynx
#

Archville is a bit similar. I believe they all look so different because they really tried for horror designs

deep basin
#

they ruined the pinkies imo

visual arch
#

archie looks like his doom 1&2 design quite a bit minus the tubes on his face

#

they ruined the pinkies imo
indeed

#

back then they looked like your stereotypical demon

#

then in doom 3 they look like a robotic peepee

honest lynx
#

The imp and hellknight design is fantastic though.

#

I like doom 3 imp more than the modern one. Which looks more cartoonish in my opinion

deep basin
#

doom 3 imp was noice

half plank
#

I prefer the modern and classic designs the best. The Doom 3 designs really only fit the world of Doom 3.

#

I'd redesign the caco too, and make the pinky, well, actually pink.

honest lynx
#

The hellknight fit in modern just fine

#

Caco is horrible

half plank
#

Ok, yeah, but most wouldn't.

honest lynx
#

Vulgar and bruiser...

#

Trash

half plank
#

Cacodemon is fine for the most part, it just needs to be reduced to 1 eye.

robust rover
#

Vulgar fit a lot with modern doom

honest lynx
#

It had shitty combat mechanics too. Felt like you were fighting a balloon. No meat in killing it

#

Vulgar would fit in an aliens video game maybe

deep basin
#

the babies

#

cherubs

half plank
#

A doom 3 spinoff sequel would kick ass, never gonna happen though.

#

Maybe even increase the speed a tad bit, maybe up to Quake II's level of speed.

#

Not too fast, but also not too slow.

deep basin
#

i think how slow the beginning was is what turned most players away from it

half plank
#

Yep, a start straight into action with maybe a small cutscene is what works best.

#

RoE proved that well.

deep basin
#

as did 2016

fair pebble
#

Cacodemon is fine for the most part, it just needs to be reduced to 1 eye.
i thought cacodemons always had only one eye
or are you talking about the d3 one

jaunty turret
#

Guess

visual arch
#

why dont cacodemons have a single eye in d3

#

i liked the little cyclops tomats more back in doom 2

agile bridge
#

You can find one eyed cacos pain elementals 2 horned lost souls like Doom2 also green barons of hell in the perfected doom 3 mods

polar ginkgo
#

So hey guys

#

Should i buy doom 3 BFG edition ?

#

Its thd only domm for ps3 i think

honest lynx
#

Definitely

covert anchor
#

Yeah, the only way to play the original doom 3 is on PC

#

Unless you count the og xbox port

manic iron
#

I actually like the pinkies design in doom 3

#

only designs I don't like in doom 3 are the cacos, imps and archviles

versed estuary
#

I like the pinkies mostly because they are functional

#

Can’t have huge lumbering pinkies in tight hallways and turns

manic iron
#

I mean you could

#

it just would be easily out maneuverer

scenic stratus
#

is this the sleepiest channel on the server or can I join a sort of Doom 3 fan cult

manic iron
#

I mean if you want I dunno

half plank
#

Hmm, Doom 3 cult? doomguy_thonk

scenic stratus
#

no

jade kayak
#

is there a way to edit a pak4 file?

scenic stratus
#

no

honest lynx
#

Hmm, Doom 3 cult? doomguy_thonk
@half plank yes

scenic stratus
#

nvm, didn't need to scroll up that much to find them

brazen pawn
#

doom 3 should have intro like dead effect would be cool

ancient trail
#

my worst nightmare happened to me again

#

i'm stuck in a place far away from the quest point with 2 hp left

#

Pain

outer osprey
#

Ok so what does the BFG edition add to Doom 3?

visual arch
#

dom 1 and 2

honest lynx
#

@outer osprey More ammo. Brighter maps. The lost missions dlc

#

Also dont need to hold a flashlight

#

It's on your shoulder and can be toggled

visual arch
#

and also doom 1 and 2

outer osprey
#

Nice but what do you suggest guys, should i get it or just Doom 3?

honest lynx
#

If it's your first time playing, orginal is the best first experience since bfg removes the intended horror aspect for a more fast paced experience

outer osprey
#

Tbh i played Doom 3

honest lynx
#

I prefer bfg now personally. I'd go with that

visual arch
#

just don't play doom 1 and doom 2 bfg

#

they're pretty bad

outer osprey
#

alright thanks

half plank
#

NO

#

if youre on pc AVOID BFG

outer osprey
#

Wait why?

ashen falcon
#

Heavy censorship

#

Even more so than the rerelease wads

half plank
#

No

#

Actually, if you aren't a boomer purist who wants mods, go bfg, it's easiest to setup anyways...

ashen falcon
#

The med packs look awful in bfg edition

outer osprey
#

I don't understand why i should avoid BFG though

ashen falcon
#

And the original version of doom is the best they shouldn't change it aside from bug fixes

ashen falcon
# outer osprey I don't understand why i should avoid BFG though

Bfg version wads replace a lot of sprites and remove stuff from levels that were in the original doom wads to avoid copyright/legal issues (ex. red cross on medical stuff, nin logo easter egg, nazi stuff in doom 2 wolfenstien level). Imo doom should be played how it was originally released but if you don't care about any of that stuff you can use bfg edition

versed estuary
#

To be fair you shouldn’t even be playing doom 1/2 bundled with BFG edition. They are worse in every way
Including performance wise
To the re releases

ashen falcon
#

^

#

Some stuff was changed on the rereleases too but there's a way to patch the stuff back in while keeping the updated stuff like 16:9 rendering

outer osprey
#

Actually there is something i care about, are the guns more powerful in BFG edition?

versed estuary
#

No

ashen falcon
#

No

outer osprey
#

I should stick with doom 3 then tbh

#

maybe get BFG later

versed estuary
#

Bfg includes
More ammo
More health packs
Game is brighter
Shoulder mounted flashlight

Lost mission expansion

ashen falcon
#

Just get the rerelease versions of doom 1 and 2 on steam they're $5 apiece

versed estuary
#

They also include final doom free. And tons of wads

ashen falcon
#

You can also use the wads that you get in the dos versions of classic doom 1 and 2 with gzdoom to use other mods on

outer osprey
#

Interesting, i'll watch it's gameplay to see how it looks

honest lynx
#

Jesus didnt I tell you all this like 3 hours ago

#

Get bfg if you want a more action playthrough of doom 3. Orginal is definitely focused towards the action horror aspect and slower pace. The flashlight mechanic is pretty important for this even though it sounds like it wouldn't be

half plank
#

Flashlight in BFG kills the tension

versed estuary
#

Nah

half plank
#

"Oh no it's dark! Instead of being quick and managing the light, I'll just flick on mah shoulder flashlight!"

honest lynx
#

All the flashlight does is slow the pacing down require you to switch so it holds that horror aspect. Removing it makes you move faster not have to switch increase the gameplay speed

half plank
#

The flashlight's a key mechanic, and neutering it in such a way steals some of 3's soul.

honest lynx
#

Steals the horror feel for sure

half plank
#

A good compromise for both arguments is RoE Xbox's method.

honest lynx
#

But replaces it with faster action

half plank
#

I'd say BFG only really artificially increases the action, levels aren't redesigned, and more monsters aren't added..

honest lynx
#

I'm wondering if it also makes the campaign shorter as a result since you're not really walking in bfg but sprinting for the most part unless you're bob

#

Probably why bfg is a better nightmare experience most likely

half plank
#

Nightmare makes the horror pop out in OG 3 at least, instant death from every corner in a dark demonic facility is pretty scary.

honest lynx
#

For bfg it pumps up that rip and tur feeling. Nightmare of most definitely would pump up the terror by a lot

half plank
#

It really is up to preference I guess. I just feel a lot of BFG Edition's changes mess with 3's core.

honest lynx
#

Bfg was created because some of the slow horror complaints they had. So that's what the changes tried to do. They did some things great but left doom 3 in this middle ground where it didnt know what it was

#

Still love it though

modern crown
#

Was doom 3 intentionally designed to be more horror than action? I’ve heard and read things that like only the beginning is horror

#

I’ve only played it like twice and didn’t really feel and see the horror aspect of it, BFG edition too

carmine sonnet
#

It was more horror-focused. The last fourth of the game is pretty action-packed though.

honest lynx
#

Alot of the game was designed around the concept of testing the new engine in mind which was a breakthrough for realistic lighting and shader effects. Things that just didnt exist prior to this game. It really was able to showcase these aspects.

half plank
#

Doom 3 was designed as a slower game, the extra speed in BFG tampers with that design choice, fhe light tampers with that choice, and the absurd amount of new ammo does aswell. They should've gone the extra mile and tweaked the levels or something to make the new changes feel at home.

#

Cool if they made a whole new way to experience 3, instead of just changing a few mechanics.

honest lynx
#

I feel like more enemies would have done this trick since the increase of run and gun. So as an example. Where there was 1 imp have 3 instead. I believe this change would have been great without needing to increase the size or look of the engagement area and would suit the mechanics they tried to go with in bfg

#

I should also say a slight increase in reload speed and swap would be needed

half plank
#

Yes, also, more arenas, maybe some music? BFG Edition could have been better

honest lynx
#

Picturing it is making me happy. That would be a fucking great time

half plank
#

I like the idea of making 3 a bit faster, but I have a problem with how the BFG Edition did it.

honest lynx
#

You basically melt rooms in the current bfg

#

Needs more challenge

#

Veteran is a joke

half plank
#

It's why I like OG better.

honest lynx
#

That's why I play nightmare. Nightmare is probably ass in og

half plank
#

It's fun, Veteran on OG is still easy.

honest lynx
#

Veteran plus when ?

#

Ohhhh doom 3 fast monsters

#

Possessed just running at you

brazen pawn
#

is there a way that i can tweak the game settings to move faster

versed estuary
#

You can use sprint

charred fox
#

Lol

#

U can also strafe jump/bhop

#

Doom 3 probably has one of the fastest accelerations for bhopping I’ve played which is ironic for what people say of it

honest lynx
#

Max the sensitivity for console

viscid mantle
#

Doom 3 is kinda slow paced and is way different than the other dooms

#

I prefer the other but doom3 is pretty good

visual arch
#

that's why bfg exists

viscid mantle
#

It’s not REALLY GOOD it’s normal

visual arch
#

yeah

#

like i can't compare it to doom 2 or 2016

viscid mantle
#

Ye

charred fox
#

Yea cause it’s better than both romero

fair pebble
#

for some

charred fox
#

Really though I think 2, 3, and 16 have an almost equal amount of pros and cons tbh

#

2 has good enemy variety and big levels but map design can become really confusing, some rooms just exist to waste your time. 3 has better pacing than most think because you’re constantly moving room to room but the game sacrifices a lot of verticality of classic while being pretty linear, 16 has damn good combat and gun mechanics and mostly good map design but the pacing is very “combat to hallway” and the levels get more linear as you play

#

This is what happens when I’m on the toilet I end up writing a review for 3 games

fair pebble
#

you write reviews on a toilet?
ok bro

charred fox
#

I also think 3 kinda has better movement than 16 if only because of how good the strafe jumping is

#

Sounds kinda ironic but eh

#

Mainly just don’t like how strafing is nerfed in that game

fair pebble
#

please tell me why your are reviewing games on a toilet

#

do you have a console powered by your toilet

charred fox
#

I wish

#

But the best way to access a man’s thoughts is when he is on his Throne

fair pebble
#

a..suprisingly accurate description

#

but please refrain from further detail

charred fox
#

Aye I will keep it vague

honest lynx
#

Spoil me plenty

novel lion
#

i have Doom 3 but barely i play it cuz the imp still scaring me ._.

carmine sonnet
#

Imps are probably the least creepy looking enemies in the game, to be honest. I just hate when the game puts them behind doors, unless you stand off to the side, you’ll almost always get hit.

outer osprey
#

The most thing that scared me was the Baron of Hell

#

wait

novel lion
#

i mean,when i play the game a imp appears and jumps over me

outer osprey
#

I meant Hell Knight

fair pebble
#

the hell knights looked disgustingly good in 3

outer osprey
#

I agree

novel lion
#

the hell knight in doom 3 is a enemy that looks like a real demon

fair pebble
#

and the hell hell knights

outer osprey
#

Yeah it looks scarier without horns imo

#

Doom 3 had the best Pinky and Cacodemon too

#

Lost Souls were really fearsome alongside Trites

novel lion
#

doom eternal's cacodemon is the cutest demon
change my mind

fair pebble
#

cacodemons in doom 3 actually looked like they were from an irl hell

outer osprey
#

Doom Eternal has the cutest and funniest caco but Doom 3's version is a Cacodemon

#

^

honest lynx
#

They looked like mutated garbage bags

outer osprey
#

lmao

fair pebble
#

if i chose to be in a room with every doom demon ever (excluding doom 3 cacodemon ofc) vs being in a room with a doom 3 cacodemon
i'd choose the former

novel lion
#

oh yeah,the cacodemon from doom 3 looks like a rotten meatball with a little orb

outer osprey
#

Why though?

fair pebble
#

cause, as in the words of gougaru
they looked like mutated garbage bags

novel lion
#

i hate doom 3 imps for a reason....

#

They are really fast

fair pebble
#

visual arch
#

what's next, a mod that makes them blue?

shell agate
#

They camp at doors too

#

Really annoying

visual arch
#

half of the demons in doom 3 have eyes, the others don't

#

like pinky and hell knight

#

but the others have eyes like imps and cacos

#

too many of them

#

and archviles were so scary their design has barely changed in doom 3

versed estuary

No it’s still wrong

tame talon
#

Ok Cool Glad to have someone elses opinion

versed estuary
#

Just because you own it on one platform, pirating it on another isn’t justifiable

#

Doesn’t matter if company makes money or not

tame talon
#

I was making the argument that it doesn't hurt anyone. and that I already owned the and payed for the game. I downloaded it for A cool 4K HD Mod I could test out and deleted it almost directly after. I couldn't do that on the switch so that's my reasoning.

versed estuary
#

Still doesn’t make it right

#

If you absolutely want the pc version you have to pay for it

#

Also pirating does hurt people. It hurts many people

#

You own and payed for the switch version.

Not the pc version

tame talon
#

I agree but at the same time I Already payed for a console port that I couldn't mod or do anything with other than play. The Devs made the game open source So if people owned the pak files for the game they could play it on anything that could handle the game. Same thing with Doom , Quake , Quake 2,etc.

#

So your really paying for Doom3 Pak files

versed estuary
#

Did you pay for the pc pak files?

tame talon
#

No But I could dump my switch and legally obtain them.

versed estuary
#

Then you should do that, instead of pirating

#

Sure it’s the “same thing” and “faster”
But dumping the switch files is legal

Pirating is not

tame talon
#

I Understand That piracy is bad. What I Did wasn't piracy it was Me taking a shortcut

versed estuary
#

It was piracy

#

Let me put it like this
Your “shortcut”

Is punishable by law

tame talon
#

I Respect your opinion and see where your coming from But I see nothing wrong with what I did

versed estuary
#

Oh it’s ok to drive through the park, it’s not piracy
“Just taking a shortcut”

tame talon
#

In my Opinion I Legally Own the pak files I legally own Doom3

versed estuary
#

No

#

You legally own the doom 3 on switch

#

You own THOSE files

#

The ones on the switch

#

You do not own the files located on the internet

tame talon
#

Yes like I said I could easily grab them off my console

#

I legally own the game

versed estuary
#

Then do that

#

Dont do the illegal way

#

No “I just took a shortcut”

Your shortcut is illegal.
There’s no
“In my opinion”
It’s a fact

tame talon
#

Yes Its a fact that Legally I did wrong and it is punishable

versed estuary
#

If you had to go to court, because your internet provider ratted you out

“I own the game on switch so downloading from the internet is fine”
You would get the full fine for illegally downloading the game.

“Took a shortcut”
Wouldn’t fly

deep basin
#

Maybe take this to dms, it's kinda turning into not doom3

tame talon
#

Yea My Bad

versed estuary
#

It’s illegal,
You pirated
It was bad

End of story

No if’s ands or buts,
No “in my opinion”

Nothing

It’s ILLEGAL

tame talon
#

I 100% Agree

#

I feel no shame at the same time

balmy geyser
#

Legality and morality are separate. Pirating is a complex issue so I'll just leave my opinion to that

tame talon
#

Yea Its a weird legal gray area

balmy geyser
#

It's not really that gray legally. It's pretty explicitly illegal. However forming your moral compass based on legality would be problamatic. One example is you'd probably end up profoundly racist

tame talon
#

Yea its 100% Not a gray area legally I Miss said that. Morally I feel no wrong. But legally my situation specifically is in a gray area because like I said I can dump my switch and grab doom 3 off that. universally Doom3 can be played with one pak file on every system, now I own this pak file legally on one system just the way I obtained the pak file for pc is 100% illegal.

#

Also I apologize for turning this into something other than doom 3 my bad

about the whole pirating thing, it doesnt hurt anyone if its a defunct company, like say, ion storm. but then its considered abandonware and thats not really pirating, but lets say i get the new bethesda release of doom 2, i absolutely hate the green crosses on medpacks

#

so i go and get the original doom wad somewhere else

#

or lets say i wanna play the original a week in paradise mod for postal 2

#

i cant get an older version prior to apocalypse weekend in the beta section, so i have to pirate it.

#

i have the postal 2 game on steam, i already paid for it on the platform, so i can pirate it without hurting anyone

#

different platforms is full on piracy though.

#

if you really have to pirate, just do it for triple a games or companies that are REAL scummy.

#

but anyone know the martian buddy codes? cant get the one in administration

versed estuary
#

Sigh

versed estuary
#

That’s still pirating, and it’s still illegal

DoomWiki.org

Security codes are used to open storage lockers and other sealed areas in Doom 3. They are almost always obtained from PDAs on the same level, via emails or audio log entries. Many of the heavy weapons and large powerups are locked up, so the more codes are found, the better equipped the marine becomes.

versed estuary
#

All locked codes

scenic stratus
#

i assume the martian buddy website is long gone.

versed estuary
#

This includes the Martian buddy codes
Also yes

honest lynx

Its ded

scenic stratus
#

weird thing, on the bethesda release for switch, the one im currently playing through, they removed the flashlight weapon entirely, any setting to bring it back? the option between firepower and light added some tension.

versed estuary
#

Rerelease is the BFG edition

#

Hence shoulder flashlight

#

If you want tension, just don’t use the light

scenic stratus
#

why is the shotgun so crappy:?

versed estuary
#

It’s not

scenic stratus
#

it 3 shots an imp at medium range

versed estuary
#

It can instakill most enemies

robust rover
#

||France be like

You can pirate it if you have the game trite||

scenic stratus
#

its like a goddamn wild card, it sometimes kills stuff quick but most of the time it just peppers things ups

#

the french make good bread

outer osprey
scenic stratus
#

and the pda description for the enforcer machine gun is just real wrong

robust rover
#

Yeah, even on other platform @outer osprey

scenic stratus
#

its constantly accurate

#

no matter how long you fire

#

short bursts just reduces dps

robust rover
#

Imagine you buy a Nintendo SNES game while back you can have the rom legally even if its pirating @outer osprey

scenic stratus
#

the french are very

outer osprey
#

France has some interesting laws

scenic stratus

@robust rover incorrect

#

If you own the cartridge you have to dump your own rom to use it emulated. You cannot download a rom from the internet

robust rover

there are even weirder laws out there

Anyways this is doom 3 chat. Back on topic

outer osprey
#

not just france

robust rover
#

Yes

scenic stratus
#

also, doom 3 is just plain scary in the arenas, like i get fuckin panicky if im dealing with enemies i cant constantly see

robust rover
#

The only thing that scared me was a trite

scenic stratus
#

if there is an imp behind me while im shooting something else i just

robust rover
#

It was fucking scary

god i constantly feel like that imps gonna get me

outer osprey

trites are ez

They camp behind doors, it sucks tbh

robust rover
#

Yeah when you have more than 2 ennemies and you just hear it's scary

I don't know how

But it's scary

outer osprey
scenic stratus
#

like in lost mission

#

the arenas got me fucking scared

shell agate
#

I havent gotten to lost mission, i am still on resurection of evil

scenic stratus
#

also is lost mission like a dlc like ressurection of evil or more of a bonus, like final doom in the bfg edition of doom 2:?

shell agate
#

I am pretty sure a bonus

scenic stratus
#

all the weapons in doom 3 constantly feel underpowered

honest lynx
#

It's a dlc that's only available with bfg edition

scenic stratus
#

shotgun is pretty strong

#

weak for me

#

you're not using it right

outer osprey
#

I think i didn't use it right too

scenic stratus
#

like it 2 shots an imp at close range

honest lynx
#

Need to give those demons a rectal exam with it.

scenic stratus
#

if i get too close i get slashed

shell agate
#

Doom 3 SSG feels wierd

#

Pretty sure its the fire rate

honest lynx
#

Nah fire ball sprint forward blast them

versed estuary
#

Doom 3 ssg is op

honest lynx
#

They wont slash unless you stand there for a second like a fool

shell agate
#

Just feels off, if you know what i mean

versed estuary
#

It’s op

#

BOOM instakills basically everything
Aside from huge huge demons

shell agate
#

Its strong, but it just feels wierd i dont know how to explain it

#

With the normal shotgun, dont aim for the head, go for the torso cuz the spread is awful

scenic stratus
#

i clearly go for crotch shots for maximum pain

shell agate
#

With the ssg, they will have to replace thier whole body

#

Even at the crotch

scenic stratus
#

the only reason i can get through is the abundance of ammo

#

even when im low im not low

shell agate
#

Yeah, ammo is everywhere especially with the plasma rifle

scenic stratus
#

There are balance mods for doom 3 that doesnt change game too much they only change shotgun spread some weapons damage stats and ammo you can try them if you're playing on pc or delta touch

#

Also that terrible armor damage absorb

outer osprey
#

interesting

shell agate
#

Armor is kinda useless

scenic stratus
#

armor is not protecting you you're protecting it

honest lynx
#

Its 100 percent usless on nightmare. Just a hud decoration at that point

outer osprey
shell agate
#

If thats the case, you are a terrible protector since it dies in two seconds

plain remnant

but even then, u gotta charge up the cube too

#

i hated da shotgun. super shotgun was OP tho.

#

the dlc's were fun

#

but my problem was that there was too much ammo everywhere

honest lynx
#

You get the soulcube automatically in the beginning on nightmare champ. Also everything is just as powerful. You just cant be hit. Its honestly the best mode in doom 3

So the re-release console ports have neither keyboard nor mouse support, which is unfortunate considering that the Doom 1 and 2 unity ports at least have mouse support on Xbox One and PS4. Nightdive's Doom 64 re-release has amazing keyboard and mouse support, all fully customizable.

#

If they're updating it still I wish they'd add keyboard and mouse support back in and maybe add the flashlight mechanic back in as an optional setting.

honest lynx

I doubt any sort of update in the future

Doom 3 BFG has more medkits
Shoulder flashlight
Shit ton of ammo

It’s literally best for faster paced and more run and gun

#

Is it better than doom 3 OG? No

#

It changes the atmosphere and tone of the game

#

BUT most people don’t want OG. They want the much faster run and gun that BFG offers

half plank
#

Yeah, good point.

#

Really, OG version is for the boomer purists (like me). BFG is easier to set up on modern devices. Unless you want the "core" experience, BFG is fine.

Yeah OG is for the intended experience

Bfg is for a slightly modified experience.

I don't think so, I think you just need to have your bethesda.net account signed in to whatever version of doom 3 you have

My version does not have anywhere you can sign in with a bethesda account

Don't ask why I got the beta male BFG Edition edition I wanted ROE and LM

It's ok if you haven't, lol.

You mean when the Chaingun was basically useless until the weird tounge Chaingunner things appeared?

Never used chaingun all too much, way too little ammo in og version for that gun.

Plenty for plasma, and all other guns.

wild pollen
#

Aside from the weapon flashlight removing any semblance of a challenge, why do Doom 3 fans despise the BFG Edition again

half plank
#

I don't despise it, only have a minor distaste. It neuters RoE, the flashlight is bothersome for most, and there is zero mod support. Oh, and cutscenes are unskippable. Other than that, it's ok.

#

There are the obvious ones like ammo too.

wild pollen
#

huh

half plank
#

BFG is fine, I just prefer OG myself.

wild pollen
#

Like when I see people complain about the OG flashlight I thought "Oh there shouldn't be that many dark sections"

Then I noticed entire levels darker than FnaF 4 at 0.1 gamma

I can see why would people complain about it, even if for me it'd probably be up to memory

I do like that the BFG Edition Flashlight has a battery

half plank
#

Yeah, I love 3 to bits, but it's definitely a taste.

wild pollen
#

So you don't abuse it 99% of the time

So there is a miniscule semblance of difficulty, although that's like saying Valiant Map 30 is hard when you pistol start

Yeah completely ignoring the fact that you get all the guns before you fight Red Archie

Considering the technological fidelity of Id's games, their entire library are technically Tech demos

#

Even Doom 2016 and Eternal, which introduced very advanced methods of optimization, the likes of which I don't see much in a AAA game

Like, Eternal runs at a smooth 45 FPS compared to Halo MCC which lags at any given time

half plank
#

Yeah, the recent engines are amazingly optimizied. Lag is pretty much a hardware issue.

wild pollen

So until now we could feasibly consider Eternal as a tech demo, demonstrating optimization

half plank
#

Good tech will mean smooth frames at all times, which a lot of games simply don't like to do.

As a console user, I can't put too much stock into it, but the two Doom games on PS4 for example are perhaps two examples of the smoothest games on the system.

That's impressive

#

God tier optimization

tribal fjord
#

Eternal on consoles 100% sacrificed graphical fidelity for gameplay.

#

Doom 2016 is 100% a better looking game in consoles.

wild pollen
#

I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch release runs at a smooth 60 FPS

tribal fjord
#

However, Eternal is way more optimized.

wild pollen
#

They're basically optimizing already optimized games

Optimization squared

pretty sure theyve stated that switch doom will run 30fps

#

Eternal only has one big issue for me on console.

#

The text size is way too fucking small.

#

The HUD in general is. 99% of the time I can't even tell if my chainsaw has fuel or not.

wild pollen
#

oh yeah 30 frames

half plank
#

pretty sure thats an option

#

to increase size of hud

tribal fjord
#

Doom Eternal on consoles is a solid 60fps lol

still brook
#

Who pinged tho?

tribal fjord
#

Eternal isn't every first party PS4 game that runs on 30fps despite it being capable.

#

Bloodborne for example.

still brook
#

I mean GOW ran at a solid 45FPS

tribal fjord
#

If DS1-2 remastered and 3 can run at 60fps, Bloodborne dipping under 30 constantly is pathetic

#

And it also looks far worse.

#

Still, my favourite Souls-game to date.

#

..until I get a PS5 and Demons Souls

#

I'm actually surprised Demon's Souls didn't get a PS4 version.

#

But hey I'm someone who thinks the current gen console rolliut was done horribly.

half plank
#

We got the 2073 router, and the fucking mini fridge as the next gen.

tribal fjord
#

Ngl, I actually love the PS5 design

wild pollen
#

I like the Mini fridge

tribal fjord
#

At least they tried something over the big black box of the Series X

#

I will say the Dual Sense is the best controller ever.

#

Haptic feedback on the triggers is revolutionary.

#

I mean, the trigger can be harder to pull if you're playing a shooter and using a bigger gun.

#

That's insane.

#

Plus Xbox totally screwed themselves over this generation.

#

All Microsoft exclusives hit PC now. Leaving the point of the Xbox useless.

wild pollen
#

Well they own all rights to Id stuff now tho so

#

ohhh the XBox

half plank
#

Sorta, an Xbox Series X is still a hell of a lot cheaper than a PC.

tribal fjord
#

Bethesda-published third party titles are not gonna become exclusive to Xbox though.

#

Bethesda would go out of business if they put out Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 on Xbox exclusively.

#

And the Xbox deal is solely about games DEVELOPED by Bethesda.

#

ID Software is not owned by Microsoft.

#

So the whole sale to Xbox thing doesn't affect Doom at all.

wild pollen
#

yeah technically

tribal fjord
#

As ID Software own the rights to the franchise.

#

Besides, we've seen what happens when a console hijacks a game to make it exclusive.

#

Street Fighter 5.

#

The backlash about the game not releasing on Xbox was insane.

#

SF6 is gonna be the same though

#

Sony are brilliant at making first party games though.

#

Nabbing Spider-Man to make it exclusive to PS was massive

wild pollen
#

pretty sure they got it before the Playstation was a thing but ok

tribal fjord
#

What? SF or Spider-Man?

wild pollen
#

Spider Man

tribal fjord
#

As both franchises were multi-platform before the most recent games. SF5 still technically is since it's on PC.

#

The Spider-Man game before the PS4 game was Edge of Time, a sequel to Shattered Dimensions. It was multiplatform.

#

PC, DS, PS3, Xbox 360.

#

Random: They should make a Venom game n

brazen pawn
#

why Doom 3 archviles' hands looked like it just got stung by a bee

versed estuary
#

@tribal fjord Microsoft bought ZeniMax

#

Which means they bought every company ZeniMax owns, including id software and Bethesda

spare wagon
tribal fjord
#

Well, maybe, but there's zero chance the sequel to Eternal if it gets made is exclusive to Xbox.

#

Phil Spencer even said he doesn't see games like Fallout or Elder Scrolls being exclusive.

versed estuary
#

Technically they won’t be

#

They will still be on pc and mobile too

I am replaying doom 3 for the first time since like 2005. Using the dhewm3 build. I'm super impressed with how the game holds up. They really nail the atmosphere of each level.

Doom 3 was a graphical masterpiece when released and it def holds up

The HD ports sure don't help it tho

It looks great in 4k, what do you mean?

doom 3 looks better than half life 2 imo

of course not counting the physics

dhewm3

i can't remember the other 1

#

just look at Doom 3 pcgamingwiki website you'll find some of Doom 3 source ports

half plank
#

Dhewm 3 could use high fps support, imagine 144ps on the og version? But, the physics are tied to framerate, so it would be a hassle to set up.

robust rover
#

1000 fps on doom 3 must be grenade boing simulator

half plank
#

yes

#

It's alread hyper speed on 144. 60fps really isn't all too horrible, I just feel as of now, there is zero reason to switch, especially since dhewm3 has painfully bad mod support.

ok so should i buy doom 3 bfg division or just doom 3

hey! i'm new...

just got doom 3 bfg edition, and... it's different... that "badass" feeling is gone and replaced with A LOT of darkness

Funny because BFG edition is brighter

#

Which means it has Less darkness

#

BFG Edition is faster too, lol.

At least in comparison to the original release.

Doom 3 (and a lot of classic doom maps) don’t make you feel badass right away

They forge you with hellfire till it makes you badass

Most doom 2 maps made me feel confused rather then badass

Imagine downtown without the giant arrow

replaying Doom 3 and man, the shotgun is still triggering me 😄

#

it's a fucking melee weapon, it's only effective from point blank range

#

why Doom 3?

little raven
#

I mean its a shotgun
Real life shotguns have more range
But there not the sniper rifles like it is in doom 1 and 2

vagrant holly
little raven
#

And yet it ones shots basically everything in the game

vagrant holly
#

only if it feels like it and only if it's from point blank range

versed estuary
#

Ya got sprint, use it

#

If you want to shoot anything far away use the sub machine gun

vagrant holly
#

the spread sucks, the range sucks, the weapon is just a "switch weapon" meaning that you use something different and switch to it if they get into your face

#

or yeah, you run into an imp's face and shoot

versed estuary
#

Me who literally uses shotgun as my primary weapon

vagrant holly
#

because you don't understand the game's balance I guess

#

or you like a challenge 😄

little raven
#

Snort

versed estuary
#

Or because it’s actually good?

vagrant holly
#

it's not good, it limits your playstyle to something boring

#

which is "run at them and pump 'em in the face, don't aim"

little raven
#

This is amazing

versed estuary
#

Ya got 9 weapons including grenades, I’m sure you can find a “play style”

#

Also didnt realize shoot demon limits my play style

vagrant holly
#

I think you're trolling if the grenade is what you've chosen as a highlight 😄

little raven
#

I think he said including grenades
cause theyre not guns

vagrant holly
#

there are kind of 2 god awful weapons in the game, the shitgun and the grenades though with good situational awareness you can make the grenades work really well

versed estuary
#

Now I’m wondering if you are trolling

#

I also highlighted grenades because they are the most unique weapon in the game, with the super high damage and ability to bounce around

vagrant holly
#

the shotgun is good against imps, zombies and if they are close cacodemons, for other situations you just have more effective solutions

vagrant holly
versed estuary
#

Bounce also leads to insanely hilarious moments

noble inlet
#

Lol

vagrant holly
#

it's kind of the antithesis of HL grenades

#

Half-Life's grenades suck because they don't really bounce

#

Doom 3's grenades suck because they bounce too much 😄

versed estuary
#

Ssg is fantastic tho

vagrant holly
#

if only it existed in the base game too

versed estuary
#

True

little raven
#

It would break the base game

versed estuary
#

Would have made the 8 hour base game better

vagrant holly
#

the base game should have been made with the SSG in mind in the first place

honest lynx
#

Doom 3 shotgun is probably the best shotgun in the series. I've noticed only people who do t know shit about 3 say that

vagrant holly
#

but nope, it was the Carmack era of "I make a great engine and tell you the main features, you make a mediocre game around it"

honest lynx
#

I purchased 3 back when it released. No one thought it was mediocre. Different yes but still more w enjoyable than half life 2 in my opinion

vagrant holly
#

I thought it was mediocre

#

but I played it after HL2

versed estuary
#

It’s better than 2016 and eternals combat shotgun

vagrant holly
#

nope

versed estuary
#

Yep

#

And you can’t count the mods, the mods are not the shotgun

vagrant holly
#

at least if it had the grenade alt fire then I could make an effort and admit that you have a right to an opinion but nope 😄
