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.
Also the game is too fucking bright.
@silk sigil weird i thought that doom 3 was dark and was supposed to be scary
does the bfg edition actually have the bfg tho
...yes
Dont know much about doom 3 but damn its main theme is catchy
and mick brought it back for harbinger
and it's the best theme on the '16 OST imo
The band's called tweaker if anyone's interested
is the steam version of doom 3 good?
are there better or cheaper versions of doom 3 on other platforms?
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.
what about mouse input?
mouse is solid
all right. ever since i've disabled mouse acceleration, i've been vigilant about it. feels so good
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
r_mode?
open console with CTRL + SHIFT + ~ simultaneously.
Gonb
r_mode is needed to tell the game to accept the commands
or something, i dunno, it's needed though
so buy the $4.99 regular version and not the $19.99 bfg edition? double checking because im ready to complete the purchase
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.
ty
no problem
Doom 3 original is also on Bethesda launcher that comes with expansions already, has widescreen support, and you can use controllers.
It has both. Regular and BFG.
Just an option, but not sure if the one on Bethesda is moddable like Steam.
who knows
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.
where do I download Perfect Doom 3 ?
No idea why the skin isnt a doom 3 marine. That would be tight
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
Archville is a bit similar. I believe they all look so different because they really tried for horror designs
they ruined the pinkies imo
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
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
doom 3 imp was noice
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.
Ok, yeah, but most wouldn't.
Cacodemon is fine for the most part, it just needs to be reduced to 1 eye.
Vulgar fit a lot with modern doom
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
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.
i think how slow the beginning was is what turned most players away from it
Yep, a start straight into action with maybe a small cutscene is what works best.
RoE proved that well.
as did 2016
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
Guess
why dont cacodemons have a single eye in d3
i liked the little cyclops tomats more back in doom 2
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
Definitely
Yeah, the only way to play the original doom 3 is on PC
Unless you count the og xbox port
I actually like the pinkies design in doom 3
only designs I don't like in doom 3 are the cacos, imps and archviles
I like the pinkies mostly because they are functional
Can’t have huge lumbering pinkies in tight hallways and turns
is this the sleepiest channel on the server or can I join a sort of Doom 3 fan cult
Hmm, Doom 3 cult? 
no
is there a way to edit a pak4 file?
no
Hmm, Doom 3 cult?
@half plank yes
nvm, didn't need to scroll up that much to find them
doom 3 should have intro like dead effect would be cool
my worst nightmare happened to me again
i'm stuck in a place far away from the quest point with 2 hp left
Pain
Ok so what does the BFG edition add to Doom 3?
dom 1 and 2
@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
and also doom 1 and 2
Nice but what do you suggest guys, should i get it or just Doom 3?
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
Tbh i played Doom 3
I prefer bfg now personally. I'd go with that
alright thanks
Wait why?
No
Actually, if you aren't a boomer purist who wants mods, go bfg, it's easiest to setup anyways...
The med packs look awful in bfg edition
I don't understand why i should avoid BFG though
And the original version of doom is the best they shouldn't change it aside from bug fixes
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
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
^
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
Actually there is something i care about, are the guns more powerful in BFG edition?
No
No
Bfg includes
More ammo
More health packs
Game is brighter
Shoulder mounted flashlight
Lost mission expansion
Just get the rerelease versions of doom 1 and 2 on steam they're $5 apiece
They also include final doom free. And tons of wads
A complete list can be found pinned in #classic-doom
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
Interesting, i'll watch it's gameplay to see how it looks
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
Flashlight in BFG kills the tension
Nah
"Oh no it's dark! Instead of being quick and managing the light, I'll just flick on mah shoulder flashlight!"
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
The flashlight's a key mechanic, and neutering it in such a way steals some of 3's soul.
Steals the horror feel for sure
A good compromise for both arguments is RoE Xbox's method.
But replaces it with faster action
I'd say BFG only really artificially increases the action, levels aren't redesigned, and more monsters aren't added..
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
Nightmare makes the horror pop out in OG 3 at least, instant death from every corner in a dark demonic facility is pretty scary.
For bfg it pumps up that rip and tur feeling. Nightmare of most definitely would pump up the terror by a lot
It really is up to preference I guess. I just feel a lot of BFG Edition's changes mess with 3's core.
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
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
It was more horror-focused. The last fourth of the game is pretty action-packed though.
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.
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.
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
Yes, also, more arenas, maybe some music? BFG Edition could have been better
Picturing it is making me happy. That would be a fucking great time
I like the idea of making 3 a bit faster, but I have a problem with how the BFG Edition did it.
You basically melt rooms in the current bfg
Needs more challenge
Veteran is a joke
It's why I like OG better.
That's why I play nightmare. Nightmare is probably ass in og
It's fun, Veteran on OG is still easy.
is there a way that i can tweak the game settings to move faster
You can use sprint
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
Max the sensitivity for console
Doom 3 is kinda slow paced and is way different than the other dooms
I prefer the other but doom3 is pretty good
that's why bfg exists
It’s not REALLY GOOD it’s normal
Ye
Yea cause it’s better than both 
for some
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
you write reviews on a toilet?
ok bro
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
please tell me why your are reviewing games on a toilet
do you have a console powered by your toilet
Aye I will keep it vague
Spoil me plenty
i have Doom 3 but barely i play it cuz the imp still scaring me ._.
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.
i mean,when i play the game a imp appears and jumps over me
I meant Hell Knight
the hell knights looked disgustingly good in 3
I agree
the hell knight in doom 3 is a enemy that looks like a real demon
and the hell hell knights
Yeah it looks scarier without horns imo
Doom 3 had the best Pinky and Cacodemon too
Lost Souls were really fearsome alongside Trites
doom eternal's cacodemon is the cutest demon
change my mind
cacodemons in doom 3 actually looked like they were from an irl hell
Doom Eternal has the cutest and funniest caco but Doom 3's version is a Cacodemon
^
They looked like mutated garbage bags
lmao
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
oh yeah,the cacodemon from doom 3 looks like a rotten meatball with a little orb
Why though?
cause, as in the words of gougaru
they looked like mutated garbage bags
be moving like sonic
what's next, a mod that makes them blue?
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
RoE helmet looks weird as hell (pun intended)
Have a real insect vibe
Good stuff !

Thank you Will Smith

@Santa-Man#0984 whoops i almost forgot. Cheers!
I found this IGN Thread about Doom 4 in 2012 https://www.ignboards.com/threads/itd-be-awesome-if-doom-4-had-graphics-like-this.250096191/
A Doom 3 Hell Knight, for comparison's sake.
holy shit
Yea I saw people talking about the hell knight and how good it looked so I did some googling and found this
Reading old forum posts is a really fun way to see what people thought about the franchise back then
Ohhhhh that's hot
doom 3 hellknight did look good th
"Lol iD Software.
After that atrocity of a game known as Rage, I have no faith in them ever making a decent game."
Aged like milk
ha

Hahahahaha
IGN never ages well
That looks bad now
very bad
No it’s still wrong
Ok Cool Glad to have someone elses opinion
Just because you own it on one platform, pirating it on another isn’t justifiable
Doesn’t matter if company makes money or not
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.
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
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
Did you pay for the pc pak files?
No But I could dump my switch and legally obtain them.
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
I Understand That piracy is bad. What I Did wasn't piracy it was Me taking a shortcut
I Respect your opinion and see where your coming from But I see nothing wrong with what I did
Oh it’s ok to drive through the park, it’s not piracy
“Just taking a shortcut”
In my Opinion I Legally Own the pak files I legally own Doom3
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
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
Yes Its a fact that Legally I did wrong and it is punishable
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
Maybe take this to dms, it's kinda turning into not doom3
Yea My Bad
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
Legality and morality are separate. Pirating is a complex issue so I'll just leave my opinion to that
Yea Its a weird legal gray area
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
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
Fun fact
In French law (unless it wasn't changed)
If you already own the game/film and you pirate it
It's fine
But don't distribute
I'm not sure tho
I just remember that emulation isn't illegal if you already own the game
just passing the border real quick
Me illegally crossing the ocean 🏃
this is why i pirated doom 1 and 2
🥖 moment

Bruh how old are you
🥖
Yes
Yes
yes
tfw there are countries where courts doesn't care about that at all
and there are stores for pirated games
Probably to busy with the corrupt politicians insane crime and poverty
tfw when the heads themselves are corrupt
doom 3 on pc is like a buck fifty rn on green man gaming or something, I'm considering picking it up
you can mod roe into doom 3, right?
wtf people still play doom 3 l0l
Some old games are actually really good
*most
@fluid forge Is it a steam code?
Then you can just buy RoE on steam.
cool
No need to mod it in when it's cheap dlc.
yeah
I have so many questions because I went into this game blind
thought I heard about having to mod it in or something
That's BFG Edition's Lost Mission
first of all (what the) fuck (are) those spider things
Yeah, 3 is a different type of game. A lot less s p e e d.
humans have built cities on other planets but cannot equip them with adequate lighting and are still using handheld flashlights
seems legit
fuck trites
also that floating dirty bubble is not a cacodemon
It is
It's a different type of Cacodemons
You mean mutated trash can
Trash bag @fair pebble
Same concept
Trash lag
Nah looks more like trash bag
My game bugged up at delta labs 1, i dont have a save from beforehand. I am sad...
I dont suppose anyone knows a level select cheat for the switch version? Lol
Did you get the elevator glitch ?
Yup lol
Yeah man theres no cure unfortunately. Need to restart the game. I had to do the same on my speed run
Rip
Ima just play resurrection of evil and the lost levels instead
Make sure on your next run you dont try to activate the elevator until after the power is initiated
Fun fact this glitch has been around since the games launch in 2004. Never was fixed
Thats a bit dumb
Ive seen lots of videos on game breaking bugs, but never heard of this one
Its infuriating for sure
Especially since its right when the game starts getting more action oriented.
DOOM is $29.99 on US eShop https://t.co/nK3Wuvardn
DOOM (1993) $1.99 https://t.co/yKfvaP0ejL
DOOM II (Classic) $1.99 https://t.co/IuLKi4FkVE
DOOM 3 $2.99 https://t.co/axJ6JObh3u
DOOM 64 $1.99 https://t.co/hpK7z3tzUH
219
On switch eshop doom 3 is currently $3
An insane steal
I'd buy that for a dollar ... or 3
Nice reference
I just noticed it now lmao
I’d buy Gougaru for a dollar
Sup
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
Sigh
Wrong
That’s still pirating, and it’s still illegal
No. Pirating is pirating. No matter how scummy
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.
i assume the martian buddy website is long gone.
This includes the Martian buddy codes
Also yes
Its ded
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.
Rerelease is the BFG edition
Hence shoulder flashlight
If you want tension, just don’t use the light
why is the shotgun so crappy:?
It’s not
it 3 shots an imp at medium range
It can instakill most enemies
||France be like
You can pirate it if you have the game
||
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
Pirating a game which you bought lmao
and the pda description for the enforcer machine gun is just real wrong
Yeah, even on other platform @outer osprey
its constantly accurate
no matter how long you fire
short bursts just reduces dps
Imagine you buy a Nintendo SNES game while back you can have the rom legally even if its pirating @outer osprey
the french are very
France has some interesting laws
leniant
@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
Not me
French weird law 
there are even weirder laws out there
Anyways this is doom 3 chat. Back on topic
not just france
Yes
also, doom 3 is just plain scary in the arenas, like i get fuckin panicky if im dealing with enemies i cant constantly see
The only thing that scared me was a trite
if there is an imp behind me while im shooting something else i just
It was fucking scary
god i constantly feel like that imps gonna get me
Same here
wait
same
trites are ez
They camp behind doors, it sucks tbh
Yeah when you have more than 2 ennemies and you just hear it's scary
I don't know how
But it's scary
I agree they're easy but their sounds and looks aren't
I havent gotten to lost mission, i am still on resurection of evil
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:?
I am pretty sure a bonus
all the weapons in doom 3 constantly feel underpowered
It's a dlc that's only available with bfg edition
I think i didn't use it right too
like it 2 shots an imp at close range
Need to give those demons a rectal exam with it.
if i get too close i get slashed
Nah fire ball sprint forward blast them
Doom 3 ssg is op
They wont slash unless you stand there for a second like a fool
Just feels off, if you know what i mean
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
i clearly go for crotch shots for maximum pain
the only reason i can get through is the abundance of ammo
even when im low im not low
Yeah, ammo is everywhere especially with the plasma rifle
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
interesting
Armor is kinda useless
armor is not protecting you you're protecting it
Its 100 percent usless on nightmare. Just a hud decoration at that point
That's probably one of the best quotes i've ever heard in this server
If thats the case, you are a terrible protector since it dies in two seconds
basically doom 3, everything is literally useless on nightmare until u get the soul cube
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
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
oh yeah i forgot about dat
imma try nightmare soon
just after a while, since i might get cyberpunk 2077 for christmas
but i'll try doom 3 nightmare

doom 3's hell is the best looking one
True
Really nailed the hell look. Creepy and bad ass
it sure did
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.
I doubt any sort of update in the future
^
installed doom3 with redux2. is there any way to make it run at 120 fps ? it's capped between 60 and 70 for me
hahaha
I think it's possible to run at a higher fps cap using the Dhewm source port but it's been a while
Hey whats better Doom 3 or Doom 3 BFG edition?
Alright thanks.
Swiss
You stop
Alrighty then
Huuh
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
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 like to shit on BFG Edition, but it still is quite enjoyable.
More enjoyable than the original in my opinion
where can I link doom 3 to my bethesds account? I can't find any in game option
You don’t have the rerelease version
Steam isnt re release
so I assume if j want to link my account for the eternal stuff, I'll have to buy it again?
Yes on Bethesda launcher
Or Xbox/Ps4/ switch
whatd everyone think of the PvP in the BFG edition?
Never played it really. But the og multiplayer was fucking epic back in the day
Do I have to purchase the BFG edition to get the Red DOOM Marine skin in DOOM Eternal?
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
You need the rerelease version
It is not on steam
It is only on Bethesda launcher
Also switch, Ps4, Xbox one

Doom 3's ragdolls are the goofiest things ever
Lol ikr
Especially when the mancubi just bounce up when they die
When they say doom 3 has jumpscares they mean the monsters jump after you kill them
They get scared when they hear the SSG
Yep
I love the goofiness
I killed a Z Sec in the Xbox port and he was standing, didn't ragdoll or despawn... Just stood dead. Lol.
I like how the imp just went .. pshhh I'm sleepy .. and then vaporized
Low battery

I love the image of the guy asking Romero to sign doom 3, it's so funny
@jaunty turret actually talked to romero about that. He said that picture was taken out of context and was for fun. He thinks doom3 is a pretty good game just not the same as the classics
I expected that. Still a great image with romero
question: is there a version of doom 3 available on PC that is both on sale AND gives the free skin in doom eternal
last i heard the one on steam does not
Bethesda launcher
Digital River Standard Offering
@pastel dragon it’s currently on sale for $2.50 USD

The singular copy of doom 3
A second bfg edition would be nice, with the anniversary editions
wait wait so the BFG edition DOESNT come with the skin
Bfg edition is really old, no
The 25th anniversary editions do, and they're cheaper
so like, is this the old version of doom 3 above without the expansion and flashlight update?
I just know I bought the re-release of doom 2 and 64 got me rewards. But I'm on xbox
I'd ask.for a screenshot, but they don't do that here
i think ill take my chances, its just two fiddy so worst case scenario i get every skin
and have a subpar version of doom 3
Doom 3 starts at subpar tho
hahaha
Doom fans: bruh doom 3 is dumb
Doom 3 fans: I know
thats what i hear actually
The link I sent you gives you the rerelease version with both expansions and eternal skin
Np
Money wise it’s a stupid good deal
Base campaign is 8-9 hours long
Roe is 3-4
Lost mission is 1-2
fantastic value
Personally roe and lost mission are better imo
Imagine being that big of a newbie pleb
Doom 3 is dumb in a lot of aspects, but I still love it dammit.
I love you cheese

OG 3 is perfection in my book, so I'm all good.
I woulda wanted BFG Edition to include the original 3 with the separate flashlight
So I could also get ROE and LM
But I guess we can't handicap ourselves all the time
Takes a while to get to the real meat of the game tho
fuken 20 whole minutes of wandering around like an idiot not having a clue as to what to do
Also
I actually do not see any problem with the Shotgun
Like, about 90% of the time you're up in a demon's face so it doesn't matter that the spread is basically that of a SSG's
Is the re-release version of Doom 3 The BFG edition?
Yeah, minus shitty ports of Doom 1 and 2.
But the original Doom 3 is not a console port like the bfg edition is
doom 3
Took your sweet time marine? >:(
about to try doom 3 for the first time on the series x
Cool cool
So something turned me off from playing Doom 3 more
Not the bullshit enemy placement, not the annoying ZSec hitscan enemies, not even the Trites that will likely haunt my nightmares
No, it's the barrel claw section
Fuck the barrel claw section
That part is fine lol, it takes a minute
Nice! Fair warning though. Doom 3 takes a while to get its footing. For the first 3-4 hours it drags a bit. I just say this because most people quit before the 3-hour mark. Trust me, it’s worth playing through the whole thing.
Not with shit depth perception, then it takes 500 years
Barrel section takes like 2 min
Doom 3 feels like something that only happened in this timeline
This game definitely sounds like it has some different challenges
Not necessarily in a bad way
Most chill section. RIP poota
doom 3


Why

I love amoled
Ayy Doom 3 one of the best games I've played
Welcome our new doom 3 patriot
@charred fox Thank u a pleasure to be here
lmao
How can I forget the Big Fucking Gun 9000
The elders welcome you
@honest lynx Why thank you sir its a pleasure to be here talking about this hugely underrated game
Its a while into the game you can find 3 in the whole main campaign
First one is in the 2nd martian buddy cabinet
2nd is in the security chiefs Office I think its in a level called alpha labs 3
Third is after a boss fight
@little raven Yeah I remember you would 100% get it even before the last fight with the Cyberdemon (the easiest boss in the game)
Yeah the cyberdemon is a pushover
All u need is that weird looking object to kill it I forgot its name
Soup cube
@little raven Yeah yeah the soul cube
i wish they included that in the new doom games
Bruh I just got doom 3. Super fun
imagine there is Glory Kill when you pick up Berserk
There were death animations in 3. Theu were cut out last minute
that just sad
Wait really? I never knew that. Huh.
This game is very le epic
@wild pollen but its a spin off

your name suits you
Bruh doom 3 has the worst super shotgun

Must be a Brutal Doom fan
Like the man himself
@Chronoteeth brutal doom is not how doom's supposed to be played. i said it would've been insane if doom was released like that.
229
nah


Anyways, does anyone know why the armor gives barely any resistance? Was it like an accident?
The sheer amount of security armor must mean it was an accident
Its made of peanut butter
so apparently it absorbs 1/3 of the damage according to a Redditor
It literary absords one point of damage
It's useless
yeah but why did they make it so

There's about a few thousand security armor pickups in the entire game so far, so why don't they goddamn make it more useful
my brother wants to start playing doom 3, what difficulty should he play on first for the best experience?
Veteran
madlad
My guide to Doom 3 difficulty
Recruit
Only for game journalists, and those afraid of the dark.
Marine
For casual players looking for a relaxed experience.
Veteran
For more skilled players who are looking for a fair challenge.
Nightmare
A solid New Game+ mode for those looking for tight action and a real challenge.
Fool, I use saves in real life, beat that. 
huh
so BFG Edition doubled ammo pickups?
That...
looks at my early game Chaingun ammo count"
Explains a lot...
Don't ask why I got the beta male BFG Edition edition I wanted ROE and LM
You mean when the Chaingun was basically useless until the weird tounge Chaingunner things appeared?
Sorta
Never used chaingun all too much, way too little ammo in og version for that gun.
Plenty for plasma, and all other guns.
Aside from the weapon flashlight removing any semblance of a challenge, why do Doom 3 fans despise the BFG Edition again
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.
huh
BFG is fine, I just prefer OG myself.
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
BFG/2019 Port is easier to set up on modern hardware, and honestly feels faster. Definitely fine for most.
rerelease is bfg but without shitty 1 and 2
oh ok lol
rerelease only on bnet though. lol
I still think they should've simply included the OG Doom 3 alongside the BFG edition remaster
Should I buy doom 3 or doom 2016?
2016
Ok
Liking 3 is an acquired taste
Takes a bit to warm up to
I do like that the BFG Edition Flashlight has a battery
Yeah, I love 3 to bits, but it's definitely a taste.
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
Lol
Wish the flashlight battery was just a little less nice though
should only be around 15 seconds at most imo
Also I will call the Wraiths Prowlers and nothing will stop me
I won't stop you
good
Anyways, the guns are fine in my experience
Enemies aren't as annoying as Civvie made it out to be
The Shotgun wasn't as annoying as Civvie made it out to be
Nothing was as annoying as Civvie made it out to be
Oh I agree
Wish the Chaingun was more brrrt than poom poom poom tho
Civvie overexaggerated it as usual
I also just learned that one of my Steam friends played Dooms 1 and 2 through this, and got 25000 points on Super Turbo Turkey Puncher
I got like 100,000
Bruhhhhhhhhh I got idk how many
3 is good though, glad you like it, most don't sadly. 
D:
"Because it's slow!"
Run
"The flashlight!"
BFG Edition
"The shotgun!"
Lmao
shotgun does suck tho
Do you really lose all your guns when you go to Hell?
Let's be real, if it were any better the game would be trivialized
yes
and when you return from hell
Even in BFG Edition?
yep

You know, I sometimes wonder what would've happened if the original Id team never left before they made all these 2000s era tech demos in the guise of underrated video games
well... daikatana would have never existed.

I like Quake 2, I like Doom 3. The era of "tech demos" wasn't all bad.
Quake 2 was fine, got bored around Ammo Depot tho
Quake 3, fine but I (in vague ways) like Quake Live more
Rage
I finished Q2 on Hard+, It really hits that sweet spot after the second mission. If that's what you call em?
After intermission screen 2 I should say.
Didn't get much motivation to complete it after I got it and played it for a good chunk of the day when it became free on Bnet
I get it, I completely quit Q4 after like 2 maps. 
Although I think this was when I thought Quake 1 sucked
earlier me likes to be a heretic in retrospect
Q1 
And I mean
I had a bad time on mission pack 1 though
Shamblers and Vores every corner. Vore homing missiles are almost impossible to dodge.
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
Yeah, the recent engines are amazingly optimizied. Lag is pretty much a hardware issue.
So until now we could feasibly consider Eternal as a tech demo, demonstrating optimization
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.
I take the gameplay tbh, unless it's unplayable, it's fine.
"muh frames" vs "muh grass"
I haven't had any profound frame rate drops and I'm not even in a PS4 Pro.
better
On*
Eternal on consoles 100% sacrificed graphical fidelity for gameplay.
Doom 2016 is 100% a better looking game in consoles.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch release runs at a smooth 60 FPS
However, Eternal is way more optimized.
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.
oh yeah 30 frames
Doom Eternal on consoles is a solid 60fps lol
Who pinged tho?
Eternal isn't every first party PS4 game that runs on 30fps despite it being capable.
Bloodborne for example.
I mean GOW ran at a solid 45FPS
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.
We got the 2073 router, and the fucking mini fridge as the next gen.
Ngl, I actually love the PS5 design
I like the Mini fridge
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.
Sorta, an Xbox Series X is still a hell of a lot cheaper than a PC.
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.
yeah technically
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
pretty sure they got it before the Playstation was a thing but ok
What? SF or Spider-Man?
Spider Man
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
why Doom 3 archviles' hands looked like it just got stung by a bee
@tribal fjord Microsoft bought ZeniMax
Which means they bought every company ZeniMax owns, including id software and Bethesda
Who says it didn't? 😉
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.
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?
average Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal Fan: 
average Doom 3 enjoyer: 
Does doom 3 have any source ports?
i don't think it does
dhewm3
i can't remember the other 1
just look at Doom 3 pcgamingwiki website you'll find some of Doom 3 source ports
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.
1000 fps on doom 3 must be grenade boing simulator
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
yes
so wise
Doom 3 and Resurrection of evil.
I say bfg edition for all the dlc packs
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
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
Same
Imagine downtown without the giant arrow
Lmao I completely forgot about that
Thank you sandy for the giant arrow it really helps
The chasm is hilarious
I just cheated through that level my first run cause I was so annoyed with the the platforming
Tightropes and lost souls
And getting stuck on an imp about 500000000 miles below
Oh fuck
We need an infinitely tall monsters mod for all the other doom games 

beta version lacks an arrow 
People still play this game? You guys are legends lmao
The game's like more than a decade old and people are still playing
Absolutely
Oh jeez
old =/ bad @thin grove
Please no
Bruiser wouldn’t work because eternals mancubus already fires just as fast
Also it looks like butter garbage
Something I might have doodled in the 5th grade
Inside a textbook
Are Doom 3 BFG Edition MP servers still up?
Non
I bugged you responded in french
Hey I'm Canadian. Our second language is French
@honest lynx i knoooooow
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?
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
it's not a shotgun, it's a shitgun
And yet it ones shots basically everything in the game
only if it feels like it and only if it's from point blank range
Ya got sprint, use it
If you want to shoot anything far away use the sub machine gun
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
Me who literally uses shotgun as my primary weapon
Snort
Or because it’s actually good?
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"
This is amazing
Ya got 9 weapons including grenades, I’m sure you can find a “play style”
Also didnt realize shoot demon limits my play style
I think you're trolling if the grenade is what you've chosen as a highlight 😄
I think he said including grenades
cause theyre not guns
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
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
the shotgun is good against imps, zombies and if they are close cacodemons, for other situations you just have more effective solutions
but that's the problem, the bounce makes them a bit too unpredictable
Lol
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 😄
Ssg is fantastic tho
if only it existed in the base game too
True
It would break the base game
Would have made the 8 hour base game better
well, I don't think that the base game we ended up getting in 2004 should have the SSG
the base game should have been made with the SSG in mind in the first place
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
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"
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
Funny enough this is true
It’s better than 2016 and eternals combat shotgun
nope
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 😄
