doom-3

[honest lynx]

Aim controller

Thats what you're supposed to use for 3

2016 vfr

Is... weird

[wintry olive]

M****** Doom?

[clear ridge]

what about classic doom vr

[untold moon]

with GZDoom?

no.

[clear ridge]

what do yuou mean why not

dont let a hate boner for gzdoom turn you away from whats actually a great vr experience

and its not even gzdoom its lzdoom

[untold moon]

no, I'm not on the hate train for GZDoom

I love GZDoom

I just don't have VR set yet

[clear ridge]

oh well you should do it when you get the vr

[untold moon]

I've postponing buying one because there are so few interting games in VR

[clear ridge]

cause that "no." implied otherwise

[clear ridge]

classic doom vr is like all i do in vr

and look on sidequest for good games

a bunch are free

https://sidequestvr.com/

[untold moon]

hmm

[clear ridge]

https://sidequestvr.com/app/65/tea-for-god-under-development for instance this one where you actually walk around in a non-euclidian maze and shoot robots

[clear ridge]

its free

[untold moon]

maybe I have to make a new research for what's out there

[clear ridge]

definitely

[clear ridge]

wauit what kind of vr are you looking into

[untold moon]

what brand would you suggest?

[clear ridge]

because sidequest is for portable vrs

[clear ridge]

oculus quest is what i have

you can link it up with a wire to play pcvr games, or there are options to play pcvr games wirelessly

[untold moon]

my steam library is 98% first person games

so it would be for first person games

[clear ridge]

but not all of them are gonna be virtual reality

so it depends on what you want

if 90% of your vr games are gonna be pc based, get a pcvr set but that cant run portable only games

if its mostly non pcvr, get a portable headset, which can also run pcvr but not as good (depending on how you connect it to the computer)

but theres a great catalogue of a whole bunch of portable games on sidequest

[untold moon]

is this worth it? -> https://sidequestvr.com/app/796/questzdoom

I mean, have you tried?

[clear ridge]

thats the one

its literally all ive done on my oculus quest in like the last several months and i play it relatively consistently

[untold moon]

you just need to have the iwad and boom, it's ready?

[clear ridge]

and if you lean into the role of the doom slayer, get into a more active pose while youre playing, its even better

[clear ridge]

also you need

the launcher https://sidequestvr.com/app/802/questzdoom-launcher

[clear ridge]

this is what youll actually be opening

and here you select your game, maps, and mods

i recommend using the doom voxel weapons mod

cause otherwise you have the 2d sprites attached to your hand

[untold moon]

oh

ahah

that might be weird

[clear ridge]

yeah its downloaded from the menu in the launcher, its easy

ive played all of doom 1 plus sigil

in ultra violence, doom vr is easier than the comuter so do ultra violence definitely

[untold moon]

I didn't know that there is much content available already for VR

specially DooM wise

[clear ridge]

you must be stuck in 2016

[untold moon]

I need to make a new research and figure things out

[untold moon]

Yes, I am

[clear ridge]

beside this theres of course stuff like super hot vr, beatsaber which is supposed to be good

the more mainstream ones

[untold moon]

I think I will be fine with just id Tech games

gosh, I really to catch up

[clear ridge]

thers also quake 1 and 2 vr if you want idtech

[untold moon]

awesome!

[clear ridge]

made by the game guys, team beef

quakequest and quake2quest on sidequest

https://sidequestvr.com/apps/gameport/0/rating in the game ports category youll see a bunch of their stuff

[untold moon]

so, sidequest is store for VR games?

[clear ridge]

yeah theres the oculus store then theres sidequest which is for games that havent gone through the approval process of getting into the oculus store

its like the itch.io of vr

the setup process is a bit weird but once you do it its very easy to install games

but keep in mind sidequest is portable vr only, ints not for things like the oculus rift which depends on the compuer to run

also things like the oculus quest have a terrible battery time so once you finish with it it would be good to charge it rigth after, and the resolution and probably performance too is a little lower than a pcvr headset

but the pcvr headset cant run a lot of games, while the oculus quest and run almost all of them

im sure theres someone out there who is more informed on the differences so id look beyond just my word, and good luck!

[untold moon]

thanks

I really need to catch with how things are nowadays

I've marked the links

tomorrow, when I'm not so drunk I'll dwell on it to learn what's up

👍

[clear ridge]

lol yeah good luck

[untold moon]

though, classic DooM in VR must be awesome!

[clear ridge]

it is

especially sigil

though i hate tnt and decided im gonna skip that in vr cause even that cant be saved by another dimension

[untold moon]

yeah, some stuff can't even be solved in other dimesions

[scenic stratus]

TNT: Evilution's Doom II map pack is pretty cool and has some levels that have different designs, aesthetic and textures

I understand you have to hate it for adding puzzles and giant environments like base Doom II is

But I love it since it allows you to have extra fun and time trying to beat up its levels

[clear ridge]

no the level design is just ass
ask almost anyone else

[scenic stratus]

I don't find it that way, honestly

Well, everyone has their own opinion

I am not allowed to take that from you

[clear ridge]

no what do you mean we must fight for the right opinion

[honest lynx]

Doom 3 chat so alive

It gives me power

[untold moon]

Power to help, because psychological services are free and confident?

[scenic stratus]

Doom 3 impacted my childhood and has shown me the wonders of graphics rendering

As well a close-to realistic reimagining of Doom1

[clear ridge]

no just that raw feeling of power

you know the one

[untold moon]

YEAH!!!!

[outer osprey]

rough sex with betruger

[clear ridge]

what

[ashen valve]

Ok, so before the first time I played DOOM 3, I thought I was gonna hate it. I got to playing the game and found myself really deeply invested into the game and eventually fell in love with it. Just a shame there's no level select.

[clear ridge]

are you still drunk

[half plank]

go outside

[scenic stratus]

There are kids in here. We don't talk about that stuff

jk kids shouldn't be here in first place

[simple dust]

Hey guys u.u

Great to see this server... Doom 3 is the best ever!

[scenic stratus]

Doom 3 is a very eternal game

[simple dust]

Yeah! I agree

Played so many times

[scenic stratus]

You can create so many mods and games out of its engine and play co-op

Well, as well as experiencing a more realistic reimagining of Doom1

[simple dust]

Well yeah, but I never tried to put some mods

I dont know why

just never did it

[half plank]

shoutout to #doom-3 for being the best channel

[quasi grail]

[supple gull]

I always wondered: are the marines in this game mercenaries?

[honest lynx]

No they're military contracted out to the UAC

[smoky sage]

doom 3 shotgun is bottom tier

and a pellet spread wider than your mom

[astral summit]

Not to far then

._.

[wintry olive]

I agree. It’s the best melee weapon in doom

[slim willow]

I wonder if there's a mod that fixes the rng

[untold moon]

this might fix it -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-CDrWawKSM

[forest idol]

doom 3 looks cool

[clear ridge]

Mfers watching gmanlives

[ashen valve]

The base shotgun was super broken. I took out so many enemies by one shotting them and then it decides to do minimal damage against the chaingun soldier and I literally screamed like Homer Simpson.

[honest lynx]

Its God tier and ass at the same time

[ashen valve]

I've heard it referred to as "The RNG Gun"

[supple gull]

I hate Doom 3 shotgun. You gotta literally kiss the enemy in the face for it to work

[ashen valve]

I still used it more than anything

[untold moon]

When you get used to the mechanic it actually becomes a good weapon

you can kill a Hell Knight with just the shotgun and not get hit

[supple gull]

I like this game's Chaingun design better than '16's or Eternal's TBH

[outer osprey]

Depends on how you see and play it

[pale quartz]

It's creepy as fuck but you have guns still so the horror factor is slightly brought down

[charred fox]

It's action horror

[simple dust]

I consider the only horror one of Doom Saga. The others sound like more action and fast kills.

[charred fox]

I think a lot of doom games have horror tropes, but some games emphasize it more than others

The way 64 and doom 16 handle it for example is very nice

[simple dust]

totally agree

[prisma garnet]

What are your thoughts on doom 3?

[half plank]

Doom 3 is good.

[prisma garnet]

Ok

Should i get it?

[versed estuary]

Tied as my favorite doom

I personally really enjoy it, if you are hesitant, best to wait for a sale then

[knotty ocean]

I quite enjoy doom 3, kinda annoyed about doom 3 VR though, picked it up expecting the same sort of controls as doom VFR, but it was just like "Use this gun accessory you don't own or a controller"

[clear vapor]

I grew up with this game

[versed estuary]

To be fair the game and slayer club did mention you need the special gun or controller

Never assume all VR games use same controls etc

[honest lynx]

The aim controller is amazing. I would not play doom 3 vr without it

[knotty ocean]

Yeah I actually went ahead and ordered one from amazon yesterday

[supple gull]

https://darioromita.artstation.com/projects/9eB6Ro

Such a beauty

[half plank]

[supple gull]

I wish the artist did the Chaingun too

[simple dust]

My favorite one, and its a game I grow up with.

[simple dust]

wow... need this

[vagrant holly]

https://i.redd.it/orhy8lnni1571.png

haha

[quasi grail]

Doesn't the image on the left look like it has a few graphics mods on it?

[prisma garnet]

Yes i think so

Doom 3 was like early 2000s and it definitely doesn't look like that

[half plank]

man smoking bfg edition. another actor ruined by drugs

[untold moon]

The one on the left has mods

The one on the right has photoshop

[vagrant holly]

no, I don't think so, it just appears very high res because the image is small

the thing is that BFG's increased brightness doesn't work well on everything so reworked Betruger not only suffers from the weird facial changes but from the illusion of reduced detail that's caused by the increased brightness

[half plank]

Man, if only they just kept Doom 3 completely in tact. Just better textures, sounds, bug fixes, and all that.

I don't understand why they tried to rebalance the game.

[simple dust]

LOL

[vagrant holly]

the same reason they changed up TAG1: they thought it would be better

and to some extent they were even right, there are people who prefer BFG because of the flashlight

what I don't understand is the lack of options

[half plank]

it was made for console

its obvious

[vagrant holly]

BFG could have been great if only they gave us the choice to choose between "classic" and "modern"

[half plank]

yes. this.

no idea why they didnt

[supple gull]

And if they fixed the useless armor

[half plank]

yeah that

I would have been fine if all the changes simply enhanced the game. New flashlight and double ammo kinda turns me off. Would be fine with double ammo on maybe recruit or something. Flashlight could be toggled via a classic and modern mode.

[supple gull]

They also pussified a few things

[half plank]

really is funny, isnt it?

[clear vapor]

My childhood

I like the bfg edition more than the original

[untold moon]

I like the BFG too

[untold moon]

ant I totally agree

but you can't expect good design when Carmack his the leader

he makes awesome tech

but he sucks at everything else

[broken river]

is doom 3 in the slayers collection the original or the bfg edition

[untold moon]

the bundle on Steam has the BFG

[umbral bobcat]

woah i can use DOOM emojis without nitro

[honest lynx]

[half plank]

[wraith pumice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHndhBWuk-Y&t=914s

this is actually a good port of the game

it has stable fps most of the time, has a coop mode, controls very well and it has all of the features from the pc version

plus the collector's version comes with the classic doom games

[half plank]

it has all the features, sure. but most of the levels are smaller and missing sections. literally the only downside. super cool port

[wraith pumice]

I actually liked it more than the BFG Edition

it also has new sequences that is not seen in the original version

like a Z-Sec killing a scientist and Campbell killing an Arch-Vile

I wonder how Quake 4 on xbox 360 runs very bad even though it runs on a better console and the same game engine

[half plank]

same though

[supple gull]

Quake IV on console has unskippable cutscenes

[half plank]

no idtech 4 channel.

I miss playing Doom 3 on the Xbox

[half plank]

theyre fairly cheap online

[simple dust]

nostalgic

[scenic stratus]

doom 3 its so scary for some reason

i almost fell of my chair in the first 10 minutes

[scenic stratus]

I used to be too scared to even play it

I recently got it again on my Switch and DAYUM is it good

I love the way the reticle changes into a cursor on some of the computers

only thing it's missing is a codex

[wraith pumice]

guys

the BFG Edition sucks

[versed estuary]

Bfg edition is on switch

Switch is handheld

Therefore BFG edition is good again

[honest lynx]

Is better than all

[supple gull]

[simple dust]

Wow... amazing! How does it works?

[half plank]

no clue, i just got the screenshot off the dhewm 3 website

[spice plaza]

I started playing doom 3 bfg on my ps3 a little while ago, it's neat

[rocky monolith]

just a quick reminder that this is where the DOOM movie came from

[outer osprey]

Except Doom 3 is an amazing game, unlike the film. The film wasn't that bad though

[half plank]

I am going to say this in 2016 and eternal chat.

[versed estuary]

Requires a jail broken switch

Which is a version 1 switch

[half plank]

why would you put your switch in jail anyways

actually that sucks. guess bfg wins in the handheld department

[versed estuary]

Well as long as you have a version 1 switch jailbreaking is easy

I have a version 1 but no interest in jailbreaking

[half plank]

done

[charred fox]

Damn i cant read anymore nvm

only bad thing is the shotgun's spread

it's horrible

[mortal basin]

İ cant even play the game 10 minutes in i start having a seizure

AND i dont have a seizure past its just too moody and the lights flickering makes me have a huge head ache close to seizure (İf that makes any sense lol)

[supple gull]

I like some of Doom 3's weapon designs better than 2016's and Eternal's

[supple gull]

I didn't know I could instakill demons with the berserk ability when I was younger

[outer osprey]

Super Shotgun and Plasma Gun IMO

[coral oriole]

There's supposed to be a way to set doom 3 up to be played on android but it's hell to figure out

Doom 3 was one of the first 10 games I ever played on any device, back when I only had a game cube and original Xbox, been trying to beat the two original dooms on hardcore and now I'm being hit with the nystolgia

[scenic stratus]

This.

[simple dust]

[simple dust]

LOL "Thats all, folks"

[coral oriole]

It worked

Ha haaa the memoriesss, and theres barely any lag

[ashen valve]

For real? I can already hear people try to play this on anything, just like DOOM 1 and 2 before it.

DOOM is more fun than Wolf.

For starters. Vanilla DOOM has the ability to strafe. Wolfenstein 3D doesn't and has really blocky movement by comparison. Also, the maps are more interesting in DOOM, with more height variation, better hidden secrets, and some pretty awesome music.

I do still like Wolfenstein, but I like DOOM more.

In vanilla, Wolf is very limited in movement. Also DOOM has the glorious BFG-9000

Quake 2 is great

However, Quake 2 is more demanding than DOOM due to it's advancements.

Quake 2 can be ported to all modern consoles and some retro consoles, but DOOM can be run on almost anything.

Can you run Quake 2 on a pregnancy test? I saw one guy run DOOM on one.

But still an impressive feat.

Commander Keen is child's play compared to DOOM on a technical level.

Then again, compared to DOOM 3, DOOM is child's play.

[outer osprey]

Anything that has a CPU capable of achieving +100mhz clock speed, can run DOOM.

[ashen valve]

Good point.

I'm saying that Keen is easier to port than DOOM because it's fundamentally simpler than DOOM.

I actually kinda wanna see a KEEN reboot.

Still a fun idea

Wait what?

There was a Keen reboot recently?

How did I miss it?

I like the art style. That's all I know of the reboot

Shame

A Commander Keen reboot can work.

If done right

Right

[outer osprey]

No, this is #announcements

Hola

[ashen valve]

I'm not gonna use the dead meme

I have a hot take for DOOM 3

I liked Dr. Betruger and found him entertaining.

[outer osprey]

That's what everybody says in here

So it isn't a hot take

[ashen valve]

Ever heard of irony? (To be fair, hard to convey through text)

They did DOOM dirty in doom annihilation

[outer osprey]

Nobody is more beautiful than John Kane.

[ashen valve]

Here's what I think about DOOM movies... STOP USING DOOM 3'S STORY!!! It's a story that would either not work as a film or it would barely work as a film. Both attempts to a film adaptation failed.

[outer osprey]

Novel Guy

[ashen valve]

NOOOOO!!!

I would write a DOOM movie as a combination between the stories of DOOM (2016) and Eternal.

Common misconception about Dr. Betruger. People think he's bald, but he's not. He has white hair slicked back.

I got Samus vibes.

I think doom annihilation would've been alright as a Metroid movie, but not DOOM.

I understood, I just got the vibe of Samus Aran

Perfect Dark didn't cross my mind when I watched doom annihilation

[outer osprey]

Never watched Doom Annihilation

[ashen valve]

Better off that way

It's not worth the time

[outer osprey]

But I watched Doom 2005, which wasn't bad IMO

[ashen valve]

Compared to doom annihilation, DOOM 05 is like Citizen Kane

Also, nobody memes the 2005 movie when it's a gold mine for them.

One final note on doom annihilation. I like the sarge character played by James Weber Brown, his lines are delivered well, he looks like classic Doomguy, and is the only guy with an SSG.

Shame he dies so quickly

Like me on classic Nightmare

[coral oriole]

I forgot how hard doom 3 can be ;-; i hate the shotgun guys with a burning passion

[clear ridge]

Why would you ask this question

[clear ridge]

This wouldn’t work because the Doom slayer doesn’t really work as a character
He has no deep personality or character development, and he doesn’t even speak, he just does what he does and gets done with it. Which is fine for a video game protagonist, but not a movie protagonist
If they were to do that it would have to be with other main characters, and he would be some sort of a “force” that is central to the story

[ashen valve]

Look in #general

[clear ridge]

Something like doom 1 or 2 would be better, because he’s still a normal guy
And it’s a very loose story so they would have a lot of freedom to change it and make it work for a movi

[clear ridge]

Ok I saw
But did you read what I said

[ashen valve]

Yes

The solution is simple. Make the action into the focus.

[clear ridge]

Ok
A movie can’t just be nonstop brutal action, it’s gotta have something else

[clear ridge]

Yes that’s how an action movie works but the doom slayer is a bad movie protagonist

You could make a bad but fun doom movie, but you could also make a good and fun doom movie

[ashen valve]

Then just embrace that he's a simple character and take it to 11.

[clear ridge]

How does this work as a movie

How would that work

[loud fog]

doom 3 is so scary i paint the town brown

[plain parrot]

EpicGamer422 is right

Doomguy literally isnt a character

Hes a big sack of meat with a face for you to project yourself onto

Giving him character traits or an arc would ruin him in peoples eyes and make fans angry

[scenic stratus]

like link in the legend of zelda

[plain parrot]

Yes or gordon freeman

[scenic stratus]

and then the fans would rip and tear into id software headquarters

[clear ridge]

Not doomguy, I mean doom slayer, the silent monster
Doomguy the normal uac marine could be a good movie protagonist

Also just to clarify I know they’re the same character; I’m just referring to them differently because while they’re the same guy, they’re different “people”, if you get my meaning

[clear ridge]

What does that mean

Yeah I know
But John Romero hasn’t touched doom in 15 years and this is a movie, not a video game we’re talking about

So you need your protagonist to be a real person

Well we were discussing a movie and that was the context

Also doomguy can be a real character
Even in the game his status bar face has a little personality

[supple gull]

Can't stand devs who say they want you to be the player but then give your character a preset appearance.

[versed estuary]

You mean 99% of games?

[honest lynx]

Its the best preset ever

[wraith pumice]

man, ammo is so rare in the og xbox version of the game

in alpha labs sector 2, I had like 150 shotgun shells in the pc version, but in the xbox version I had like only 20

[honest lynx]

In bfg I had enough ammo to invade Iraq

[supple gull]

That's a good thing tbh. They give you too much ammo at times.

[charred fox]

Naaaaah doomguy has plenty of personality but a lot of it alligns with what the player wants IE “I don’t care about this character’s monologue I just wanna shoot big funny gun”

[wintry olive]

Having John Doom speak would make the character a lot more generic and boring in my eyes tbh

Also yes I call him John Doom

[clear ridge]

?? In a movie he has to speak that’s how a movie works it’s not a video game

[wintry olive]

I’m talking about the games

[clear ridge]

The discussion about him talking is about a doom movie
The games have a silent doomguy, of course

[wintry olive]

ok

[plain parrot]

yeah in a movie he has to speak which is why its a bad idea altogether

and i think 1993 era doomguy and slayer era doomguy have exactly the same lack of character

i dont see how 1993 doomguy is more fleshed out

unless you make a movie based off doom 3 without doomguy and have it be a more traditional horror movie

which they did

and... well you know

[clear ridge]

Not fleshed out, it’s that he’s a normal human that can actually have character development

[plain parrot]

oh so you're saying theres more potential there

[clear ridge]

Yeah exactly

It’s not what there is, it’s what there can be

[honest lynx]

Well you have to remember the times. You're talking about male characters based on Ripley from aliens robo cop hell Kyle reese from terminator and so on. This is the age of the hero who does not much talking and corny gore along the way which is one of the pillars of doom in general

[plain parrot]

oh hey i wasnt knockin it i was just responding to something epicgamer422 said

i wouldnt have it any other way tbh

[whole gulch]

After more than 10 years I dont know If this is spoiler, but
|| is the cyberdemon a titan? One of these seen in Eternal ||

[visual sparrow]

if it were, the Doom 3 Marine would die in like a millisecond

[whole gulch]

This hell place, its the same shown in the other games?

[gritty plinth]

Titans are far larger and more powerful

[clear ridge]

Yes it is
Same hell, different earth

[clear ridge]

Yes it is
Doom 3 is canon, but it’s another earth universe
Same hell, it connects all the earths

[gritty plinth]

I like to think it is, kinda like doom 1, 2 and 64 have the doom guy/slayer and the third game takes place during when he's in the sarcophagus and then the newer games take place

[clear ridge]

It is, Hugo said so

It’s an alternate universe

[gritty plinth]

Ig, doom 3 wasn't the best

[clear ridge]

Altérnate universe, just like how classic doom earth is not the same doom 2016 and eternal earth

[gritty plinth]

No, it would be the.... Interesting books

Oh, yeah

Soder pop

Idk Chex quest was a masterpiece

Both

They are both amazing

[whole gulch]

So, hell its a plane of existance connecting two universes.

[gritty plinth]

I suppose so

[whole gulch]

Some kind like Xen in HL.

[clear ridge]

Something like that
It’s a hub between earths

It’s the real one though

Different parts of hell maybe

I agree that it’s a bit of a lazy solution, but that’s the correct answer

Well if they connect doom classic to modern doom then doom 3 is the obvious next connection

[whole gulch]

Me too

[gritty plinth]

But they want a confusing yet full timeline

[clear ridge]

Yeah cause it’s a different guy

Doom 3 is like final doom: completely inconsequential to the main storyline, but still canon

[gritty plinth]

Oh my gosh this server doesn't have a logging cacodemon emote

[whole gulch]

They Look a like, that Hebed whatever looked like D3, ruins inside mars and some kind of bricks

[clear ridge]

Cacao bean

[whole gulch]

I agree

Even so, they connected keen with wolfenstein to doom xd

[gritty plinth]

Uhhh.... Time travel?

[whole gulch]

Furthermore, think about, Id games dont necesarly Need to be linked, even classic dooms

[scenic stratus]

I thought doom took place in 2022

[versed estuary]

Doom 3 is a third multiverse

It’s “canon” in the sense that it occurs in one of the many multiverses

But it does not take place in the same universe as doom 1/2/64
Or the universe of 2016/eternal

[versed estuary]

Only in the 1990s

There is no connections anymore with any of the modern series

Wolfenstein itself just with the base games already has like 8 different possible timelines,
Youngblood explaining the multiverse is real

Likewise eternal mentions the multiverse as well

They are “connected” in the sense that multiverse theory allows anything to happen.

However none of our current stuff or even past stuff connects

[honest lynx]

They're reaching marvel and DC level timelines

And universes

[plain parrot]

egh i kinda hate that multiverse shit \

[versed estuary]

This would be a smart choice, as it would allow them to somehow actually connect doom 3, while also making a whole new story that doesn’t contradict anything in the eternal timeline

[plain parrot]

i just like to think doom 3 is what happened on mars while doom 1 is what happened on phobos at the same time

even if that isnt right

[honest lynx]

It makes sense in comics because it allows artists to interpret heros in their own art form

[versed estuary]

Unfortunately timelines don’t allow that to be true

I always treat it as, doom 3 is a true spin off
That lets my brain rest

While I still enjoy it in its full glory

Since it is 3 multiverse, I have eternal/3/64 tied as my favorites

[honest lynx]

Doom 3 would have been a perfect prequel as a Mars base first set up by the uac and the first invasion being covered up

[versed estuary]

Technically still possible if they remake doom 3 and change some dates around

[honest lynx]

Bascially all they really need to do

[versed estuary]

Afterall doom 3 did have some pieces that they used as inspiration for 2016/eternal

Plus if they remake it, they can use modern lighting and visuals to make it even more horror like, and make the demons look even more like demons

[supple gull]

And make the sounds automatic weapons not have that rhythmic loop

[plain parrot]

i doubt theyd ever remake doom 3, that wouldnt go over well with most fans

but we got hd textures and stuff so close

[versed estuary]

Why not? Doom 3 still exists. They can always play those

Plus a remake could make it “closer to 2016”

I would still prefer it to be slower than 2016

[honest lynx]

They just made a vr from the ground up

[versed estuary]

And keep reloading

[honest lynx]

Lot of real fans like doom 3

[plain parrot]

i think d2016 got it right by taking everything good about doom 3, the beautiful environments and taking it in a different direction

[versed estuary]

Maybe faster reloading

2016 was a good middle ground, but 3 was way more horror, way more atmospheric, way more tense

Way more gore

[honest lynx]

Alpha labs doesn't get enough love

[plain parrot]

you say this a lot and its totally meaningless. its like when star wars fans say "oh you're not a rEaL fAn if you dont like xyz movie"

[honest lynx]

Its beautiful

[versed estuary]

3 captured perfectly, the opening moments of the invasion

With distant gunfire, radio chatter, etc

[honest lynx]

Well every real doom fan I've talked to since 2004 loves or respects doom 3

I'm just telling you facts

[versed estuary]

It’s only modern fans that hate doom 3 truly, it’s pretty annoying

[honest lynx]

Exactly

[versed estuary]

Doom 3 at launch was received incredibly well

[plain parrot]

anyone who likes a doom game is a "real" fan theres no such thing as a "fake fan" unless they're i dunno pretending to like the game for money it just doesnt make sense

like if they're streaming or something

point is what is a real fan vs a fake fan that means nothing

[versed estuary]

People see reloading and instantly start pulling some bullshit about “It’s cod, oh no it’s so slow, blah blah blah”

[honest lynx]

If you hate doom 3 for a real reason I'd respect that. But I haven't heard to many real arguments

[versed estuary]

Basically the latest wave of new doom players with stupid “doom 3 sucks” opinions spread misinformation about the game, which most new players take fully to heart and decide to never play it and join the bandwagon

I’ve seen countless people who actually play it say” wtf this is actually good not at all what they mentioned” time and time again

[plain parrot]

my dude. there are plenty of reasons not to like a thing, and any one of them is legitimate. you cant just claim somebody isnt a fan of something to discredit them when they dont agree with you.

[honest lynx]

I think you need to take a nap again

[versed estuary]

I will say, doom 3 base game is much weaker than the expansions

The expansions were perfect

[plain parrot]

sure if someone settles on an opinion without having experienced something that makes no sense at all

[honest lynx]

You're overly hostile with no point. As always

[versed estuary]

3 captures the atmosphere perfectly of the opening mentions of the invasions but then takes a little too long to pick up its pace

Roe is perfect pacing

And lost mission is basically doom 2016 levels of speed and combat

[plain parrot]

well i dont mean to come off as hostile, and yes ive been mean to you in the past

but im just trying to have a conversation

[versed estuary]

By real fans Gougaru mostly means people who actually played it

Fake fans tend to just listen to the sheep mentality and never even try it because “every modern joiner says it’s bad so it is”

[honest lynx]

I don't believe people who played it all the way through HATE IT. It's usually I loved the game or it was okay

[versed estuary]

^ this

And even people who don’t like the base game, tend to really enjoy the expansions

[plain parrot]

no i definitely agree to that. if you havent played the game and have an opinion on it that isnt valid. i just think gougaru calls "fake fan" sometimes whenever he hears something he doesnt like about doom 3

[versed estuary]

Well mostly because those people never even played 3

[plain parrot]

i mean ive played doom 3 twice now and i have my problems with it

i like it overall but it has problems and my opinion is valid

[versed estuary]

u said “most fans” wouldn’t like a remake. But that’s because as I said most current “fans” are people who bandwagon and don’t like it because everyone said it’s bad, so they wouldn’t even bother with a remake

Gougaru meant real fans as in, most people who actually played the game enjoy it, and would welcome a remake

[honest lynx]

Exactly

[plain parrot]

i dont think it would be a stretch to say overall doom 3 is the least liked doom game

i think we can agree thats the case

thats why i said that

[versed estuary]

Becuase most people bandwagon the hate

[plain parrot]

at the very least it has the least fans

[versed estuary]

Like I said when doom 3 launched it was received incredibly well

As well as the expansions

It’s all the new people who only see it as a super slow version of eternal or 2016 that freak out

Omg is that reloading? It’s basically call of duty

[honest lynx]

I think I would put money on the VR physical edition having a limited run collectors set. I'm pretty confident in that

[versed estuary]

I would argue, doom 3 remake would be able to perfectly balance the pleasure of the old fans, and the newer generation of fans, by reaching a middle point that both would enjoy

[plain parrot]

for one reason or another time hasnt been to kind to doom 3. thats just the truth and thats why i think a remake of it wouldnt be the best idea to put effort into. id still welcome a remake myself

[versed estuary]

Either way with the current story of eternal, either a new reboot, or a remake of 3, or even a sequel of 3, is most likely to occur

[plain parrot]

but the game still holds up visually and gameplay wise tbh

[autumn onyx]

i don't recall it being super loved by the fanbase. at best they made themselves appreciate it as something different from what they felt doom was or should be. and there's a reason why there weren't any major followups for a decade

[plain parrot]

aside from them face seams lul

[honest lynx]

Alot of VR players say doom 3 is one of the best vr experiences right now. Even if it's aged

[versed estuary]

My biggest issue with doom 3 is the base game drags to pick up speed.
But expansions fixed this

[plain parrot]

fair enough but vr doesnt have a whole lot of full game experiences. that seems like more of a case of lack of content for vr right now

[honest lynx]

Oh the hype was real. From what I remember. People were building pcs just to run it

[versed estuary]

Because 4 was stuck in development hell, I still think doom 4 would have been solid, after piecing together all the leaked footage it looked like Rage, but with doom

[autumn onyx]

yeah, the HYPE was real

[plain parrot]

im so glad doom 4 got scrapped

and we got a far superior "hell on earth" setting when eternal dropped

[versed estuary]

I’m happy 4 got scrapped because we got masterpieces like 2016 and eternal

[plain parrot]

yea

[versed estuary]

But I still think 4 would have been a solid spin off

[autumn onyx]

the graphics and atmosphere were amazing compared to what existed at the time, no doubt. i couldn't believe the graphics after sticking with the half-life engine for so long

[honest lynx]

The fact you needed a super computer and it still sold well should say something

[plain parrot]

it coulda been cool who knows

[versed estuary]

I’ve seen enough of the leaked footage to be impressed

Funny enough most assets and movement were recycled for 2016

And most scrapped 2016 glory kills were from 4

Including the weapon glory kills

[plain parrot]

theres a clip of the hell knight holding a hammer like mario in donkey kong from the doom 4 leak

funniest shit i ever seen

[slate gulch]

Atmosphere looks like what I want in quakeboot

[versed estuary]

I hope if the next doom is a normal soldier type that they use weapon glory kills to compensate for the lack of super strength

[plain parrot]

yeah slayer is cool but i do very much like the "normal guy who against the odds manages to take on the hordes of hell" vibes

[honest lynx]

Doom odst haha

[versed estuary]

I’d buy that shît in a heart beat

I’d buy it twice, just because

It’s curious to see what the next doom will be

( not mighty doom, I know what that is, and I already know I enjoy it)

But the story options and multiverse opening leaves anything up for possibility

[honest lynx]

Bj will go through a portal and be the next doom slayer

[autumn onyx]

i wish they'd go back to non-linear level design. 2016 was alright by at least giving us the foundry and argent facility

those were a nice compromise

[versed estuary]

I don’t think super non linear is a good thing anymore

Wait lemme rephrase that

[autumn onyx]

but conversely super linear also negatively impacts player agency. not that a lot of casual players even want agency

[plain parrot]

216 gives me the classic vibes with finding the secrets. Eternal streamlined that aspect a lot, but when it comes to the classics i just have no idea how people find secrets. Everything is so bloody esoteric

[versed estuary]

You know how infinite will have huge open maps with multiple objectives, and that’s the level?

I want something like that, imagine entire levels being like a huge torn down city, etc

[honest lynx]

That would work.

[versed estuary]

And you have to destroy gore nests or open up power lines or free survivors

And secret objectives can give special weapons or equipment

[autumn onyx]

that's basically how the foundry and argent facility worked

[versed estuary]

Yeah but bigger

[autumn onyx]

so like i said, those were a nice compromise

[versed estuary]

Argent facility was open but really empty

[autumn onyx]

the destroyed portion was, definitely

not a lot of rewards for taking a number of the paths

[versed estuary]

Ye

[autumn onyx]

still, having the option to revisit each area and explore and rack up kills was fun. but yeah they could've added more impetus to revisit certain areas

[versed estuary]

But yeah a huge open ended map with multiple objectives would be spicy, maybe even have sorta dynamic map where if you take too long more demons spawn in certain areas, or even a path collapses and you cannot go there

[autumn onyx]

yeah i was thinking that. just have lots of waves of smallfry and occasional bigger bads constantly respawning. not as intense as arena events, but something to keep the thrill of ripping and tearing going as you explore. kind of like l4d, where it's just constant pressure, but you need to explore to figure out where to go, and get rewarded for what you find in ancillary rooms

and set a limit to how much you can level up the kill weapon upgrades

[versed estuary]

And they can even pull a halo reach and make the last level a death one

[autumn onyx]

before progressing to a new area

[versed estuary]

Where you just try to survive and ultimately fail

Probably defending a ship trying to take off

[autumn onyx]

flashback to e1m8 lol

(kind of)

[junior raven]

hello!

so uhhh

im new to this server and

i can't find the general chat

can somebody help?

Oh yeah that’s what I’m gonna be playing doom 3 in, I’m gonna play it in vr cause that’s supposed to be great

[clear ridge]

Do you like ported first person shooters? If so I have the place for you
Also check out sidequest.com for a LOT more vr games

Did I get the url right

Doesn’t matter just look that up if you have a portable vr

nah i dont have vr

[broken siren]

has anyone tried out Doom 3 on the Switch? going on a trip soon and I'm tryna find a new game to play for the switch

[versed estuary]

I have

[broken siren]

are the controls good and that?

[versed estuary]

Incredibly good

And I don’t use aim assist

Feels very smooth

The entire game is also almost locked 60fps, aside from very few random moments

[broken siren]

sounds good - might as well get it since it's five bucks, thank you :)

[versed estuary]

Oh damn it’s on sale for $5?

That’s a steal

[broken siren]

ye it used to be 10 dollars too

so it's a steal either way

[versed estuary]

Mind u, the expansions are phenomenal

[broken siren]

I've only played 2016 and Eternal, how different is it?

[versed estuary]

Quite

It’s much much more horror and gore focused

But still a fairly fast paced game

[broken siren]

alright, ty

[versed estuary]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/734640822015885332/825774678823665684/video0.mp4

Here is a quick little snippet from the lost mission expansion

[broken siren]

yeah I'll def try it out, ty once again

[versed estuary]

Np

It’s tied for favorite doom game, so I’m a little biased

But I really really enjoy it

[river dagger]

looks fun, would you compare it to like, dead space, at least in the earlier parts? not meaning like, third person or shooter mechanics, but more like atmosphere

[versed estuary]

I’ve actually never played dead space

So I have no clue

[river dagger]

ah, gotcha

[versed estuary]

But I will say the entire intro atmosphere of doom 3 is perfect

Literallly perfect

[river dagger]

awesome

[versed estuary]

It 1000% feels like you are literally a marine who just happened to get stuck at the start of the invasion

[burnt musk]

Sup everybody, im lookin for a QoL mod for Doom 3, so i can fix some bugs and maybe improve gameplay... I found these 2 mods, and i wanted to ask if any of u tried one of these before ^^

CstDoom3 mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/cstdoom3

Doom 3 Enhanced Edition: https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-3-enhanced-edition

P.D: If any of u guys have tried them both, wich one do u prefer? ♥

[half plank]

cst

and by a lot

so many more options, including a shotgun spread reduction setting

[burnt musk]

u tested them both?

[half plank]

yes

[river dagger]

I like to think that Doom 3 isn’t an alternate timeline, rather the marine you play as is just another random marine who happens to be a badass. Unless there’s lore that blatantly contradicts this.

[versed estuary]

Correct

Doom 3 takes place in 2145

But project manned Lazarus takes place in 2145
With doom 2016 taking place in 2149

The technology,
Especially the BFG

Are so vastly different

[supple gull]

They should've just put Doom 2016 a hundred years later

[versed estuary]

Plus doom 3 ends with the earth invasion

Yet eternal earth invasion was like a decade or 2 later

[supple gull]

I find it funny how the audio of the guy who screams "Help, someone please!" is reused in ROE for the guy that gets tossed out of the window with the addition of a scream.

[scenic stratus]

Is there a way anyone can help me with the Doom 3 Multiplayer achievements ?

[scenic stratus]

does doom3 continue the story after final doom

[clear ridge]

Doom 3 is an alternate universe

Doom 64 is what happens after final doom, although I’d say it’s more of a sequel to doom 2 because final doom is almost entirely inconsequential in doom lore

[scenic stratus]

wait doom 64 has lore?

dam

[clear ridge]

Yeah doom 64 is it’s own game

[scenic stratus]

Doom 3 hopped on the horror bandwagon in 2004.

[simple dust]

Spectacular! Amazing! Sounds so nostalgic! I'm lmost installing again and playing for the thousandth time!

[scenic stratus]

Is it just me or does everyone else just absolutely struggle with doom 3

I can’t even make it past the first level

It’s just one big maze to me and I can’t find anyplace to go

[clear ridge]

Get gud lol

[scenic stratus]

Yea I just suck

[winter marsh]

I haven’t played much doom 3, but I enjoyed it

[simple dust]

Unless we have Eternal em 2016, Doom 3 was a different purpose when we think about Doom Saga, and Doom 3 is so good as a horror game and as an acting game. It’s hard to find a good game that can be both.

[outer osprey]

Literally what I think of Doom 3

It's one of the very few games that could combine both horror and action into a one badass game

[plain parrot]

Its like "that one part in knee deep in the dead where you grab a key the lights turn off and theres a monster closet behind you": the game

[plain parrot]

Yes

[simple dust]

Its about that! LOL

Yeah, we could. My father is a 3D designer since 90's and he always said to me that Doom 3 brought a new way to do graphics. The way that they did was more light and so they could bring an image with better quality...

Was a new perspective about creation and design in the "3D world"

Yeah! Principally about the proposal! Its perfect... When the zombies appear... thing like that.

Agree

[honest lynx]

Imagine a game that had pipes leading to actual experimental machines to the point it attributed to its function. That's doom 3. Game was okay for some but still you have to appreciate its beauty

[half plank]

Todd moment

[knotty ocean]

So I've been playing doom 3 VR

and I'm not sure if its just RNG or what, but I think they actually fixed the shotguns wonky spread mechanics and stuff in the VR port

Like I've been 1 shotting imps at mid/close range with the shotgun consecutively, there's only been a couple imps so far I've had to put a 2nd shell into

[half plank]

I agree. As much as I love Hugo and all them, it just isn't the same.

[simple dust]

Wow I didn’t know that!

[coral solstice]

they did a very shit job at that

oh wait, I thought you meant general sound design

[urban cloak]

Eternal is optimized af, more than 2016, you can even run the game on a 2gb graphics card. If that's not a technological achievement then idk..

[outer osprey]

Interesting because I can't run it despite having a 4gb graphics card, but I assume it's because my laptop is a bit old

[ripe bloom]

Y u gotta cut open the demon and press the shotgun directly at it's heart for it to be useful

[plain parrot]

[versed estuary]

No

[lethal frost]

Guys I just got this game can you guys rate it out of 10?

like just got doom 3

oh lol i entered a new day saying that

[versed estuary]

Base game 7.5/10

Expansions 10/10

[plain parrot]

Doom 3 is the only canon game

[half plank]

[charred fox]

Yes

[supple gull]

Why is it always daytime in this game?

I notice that with lots of games set on Mars.

[idle socket]

You know how long a day is on mars

Not that much longer than on earth so the question makes sense :)

And pretty bright on daytime

It stays pretty bright for a while actually as far as i know

Tbh doom 3 didn't seem that afraid of just making everything dark

Immersion

They may have no other point in the gameplay but in the world itself they're still windows

It's not like the whole station is empty at day

[jagged sentinel]

started playing doom 3 on switch again

[outer osprey]

nice good luck

[jagged sentinel]

I always play on easiest mode so it will probably be fine 🙂

[jagged sentinel]

I started it In December 2020 and stopped

[slim willow]

Just started a Lost Mission Nightmare run

Nightmare really pushes you to be efficient

[tame mist]

How isnt this classic doom

[slim willow]

2004-2012

[clear ridge]

How is a game made 15 years after the originals in the same category?

[tame mist]

Because I see classic doom as pre-reboot

[clear ridge]

I think you’re thinking of newdoom vs old doom
“Classic” refers to the originals because the old doom games are all very different, much more different from each other than 2016 and eternal are

And they’re definitely too different to share a channel
And like 4 games in a channel is still ridiculous, we already have doom 1 and 2 and final doom in #classic-doom

[honest lynx]

[buoyant crater]

since doom 3 on switch is actually the bfg edition, i have taken it upon myself to not allow weapon usage in combat when the flashlight is on unless i wanna punch

[slim willow]

How has zero master not played Doom 3

[honest lynx]

Its extremely easy to speed run

[lone fable]

Nightmare makes you insane.

[slim willow]

I actually have a clip where i got jumpscared and died when i was focusing on another demon

Gotta have your eyes on all of them

[outer osprey]

Never got jumpscared in Doom 3

Atleast in the maingame

Even when I played it as a 7 years old

Theory: Doom3guy is a Night Sentinel.

[scenic stratus]

doom 3 is not canon but ok

[supple gull]

Either that or he's a descendant of the ancient Martian civilization

doom 3 og Xbox port

Is it good or bad

[half plank]

Good.

Had to sacrifice a bit of content. But it keeps most of the good moments. They trimmed all the fat for the most part.

Runs well too. Stays at a nice framerate, even on original hardware.

Of course, if you want to experience Doom 3 for the first time, the original or modern console releases are objectively better.

[untold moon]

Yes.
Absolute HD mod for DooM 3 in this case.

[outer osprey]

Did you encounter the bug without the mod as well?

[untold moon]

nop

If i turn of the ambient occlusion fixes it

off*

but there are no info on google about this issue

it might be my computer...

[lofty crescent]

i'm glad they rebooted the franchise, but i'd still like to reach into an alternate universe where the Call of Doomty sequel to doom 3 was released and play it

The true successor to ironhumb (crispies)

[honest lynx]

Odst doom

[lofty crescent]

okay now i REALLY want to play it

[honest lynx]

Just saying that makes you wonder how cool it could be

We have Doom Eternal's ARC. Would be cool to have a spinoff game about them

BTW I like how the standard zombie has a variety of models. Why they didn't do that with 16 or Eternal is beyond me.

[acoustic acorn]

how does sprint work in this game

[honest lynx]

Use it when in combat to go beast mode turn off during combat to let it recharge enough for the next engagement coming and repeat until the room is clear

[acoustic acorn]

yeah didn't see a bar for the recharge so got confused

oh it's the orange on the bottom left ok

[versed estuary]

I kid You not, first time I played this game I didn’t even know it had sprint

Because 2016 didn’t
Classic dooms had it enabled at all times

So I figured that was only speed in 3

Learning it had sprint was game changing

[acoustic acorn]

iirc the OG OG classic doom had it on button hold whereas newer ports let you have it always on

[plain parrot]

Thats right

I never had a problem with the limited sprint in doom 3 it works with the level design

An u get unlimited sprint during bosses

Like doom3guys adrenaline is up

[clear ridge]

Classic doom has a button but also a toggle

[versed estuary]

I always had it enabled in classic doom

Where it was sprinting at all times

Even then that sprint was with left trigger

Which isn’t a traditional sprint button

[clear ridge]

Huh

[versed estuary]

Sprint

I always had it enabled

[honest lynx]

Always run

[versed estuary]

In the settings

Sprint always on

Would break the game

Hey everyone, I have Doom 3 retail cd on an XP machine (offline) because im weird like that, anyways, I have my CRT monitor hooked up to it, and I have refreshlock installed, this is so the refresh rate of 160hz is locked when applications start, I put r_displayrefresh 160 and com_fixedtic -1 in the console and do vid_restart, even with r_swapinterval it looks bad, the wierd thing is that the motion clarity actually looks better when setting at 60 hz, if/when I go higher, 85, 120, or 160, the motion clarity is not there its fuzzy. Am I doing something wrong? My CRT OSD shows its at 160 or w/e hz I'm shooting for but am I missing something else? I should be able to get better than 60 with the retail Doom 3...least I thought so.

The maximum framerate Doom 3 can achieve without speeding up is 62.5.

[acoustic acorn]

there's some controversy on using the light while having the gun right? My version, I can use them together

[lapis pollen]

hey gamers I just got doom 3 bfg edition and i'm stupid, so please explain to me how to make it full screen

[jagged furnace]

@half plank this was just because of the com_fixedTic # I thought, the later deprecated the command but with the original game it should work...

[clear ridge]

That’s BFG edition

You can use the flashlight with the gun which is kind of a controversial change

[acoustic acorn]

big fluorescent gun

[clear ridge]

||dont you dare call it the bio force gun||

[acoustic acorn]

uh ok

[outer osprey]

Doom 2005 momento

[half plank]

big fucking gun

[supple gull]

I remember a mod where the flashlight is more realistic and doesn't just light up the spot you point it at

[scenic stratus]

The fuck kind of blasphemy is that? Everyone knows to call the BFG the BIG FUCKING GUN!!

[honest lynx]

Bigger. Better. Badder. It's most definitely called big fucking gun because it's some sort of prototype with no actual designated name. So it has that nickname

The doom movie is pure trash and bs. It and all its content and names for things should be left in the garbage

[scenic stratus]

No argument about both DOOM movies there. They did fuck up with the first one and turned it into a zombie horror movie.

[scenic stratus]

There were inconsistencies within the second movie. That and the Youtuber Civvie11 breaks it down way better than I can.

Ooof fuck that

[supple gull]

Dunno why they named it Resurrection

[scenic stratus]

I bid them good luck making it true to the actual game series, and hopefully they don't fuck it up even more with that cringey ass one liner from the last movie they shat out

[supple gull]

When there's Doom 3 Resurrection Of Evil

[half plank]

If making Doom Annihilation is a source of pride, I would REALLY hate to live that guy's life.

[scenic stratus]

Same here

I heard that the lost mission was garbage. Should I start playing it?

[slate gulch]

Who ever said that must not like Doom 3

[scenic stratus]

maybe

[slate gulch]

It gives an nonstop action run with RoE enemies also thrown in

[scenic stratus]

I played it a bit

It was like classic doom

Kinda

[half plank]

Lost Mission's greatest flaw is how short it is. It's about an hour of everything good about Doom 3. And I want more.

[wintry olive]

NOOOOOOOO

It’s supposedly cut levels from doom 3

[scenic stratus]

Why were they cut though?

[wintry olive]

Idk, maybe for consistency

[scenic stratus]

that arena section in hell is pretty awesome

Idk why they cut it

[wintry olive]

Time constraints maybe

[mild zinc]

Guys does anyone still play doom 3 bfg edition multiplayer?

[wintry olive]

you can’t even play it anymore I don’t think

[mild zinc]

LOL

[versed estuary]

Lost mission is literally almost doom 2016

1 hour of nonstop action

Anyone saying it’s bad is wrong, this isn’t even a matter of opinion, it’s literally just wrong

[half plank]

[clear ridge]

Woah how did you nickname

Is it a booster only thing

[half plank]

yeah

[clear ridge]

Dammit

[honest lynx]

Yeah lost missions is just something else. You never stop killing

[wintry olive]

I love it I think it’s even better the RoE

Yeah that

[honest lynx]

Roe was just made for nightmare. To much of a slog early on

On just veteran

[outer osprey]

Nope

[lapis pollen]

Damn

[outer osprey]

It was a mechanic introduced with Doom 2016

Only Doom 2016 and Eternal features the Glory Kill mechanic

[lapis pollen]

dang

[outer osprey]

And don't expect the Chainsaw to give you ammo

[honest lynx]

They had a type of glory kill planned in 3 but it was when the demon killed you

[outer osprey]

Death scenes like in Doom 2016?

[honest lynx]

Yeah man. And a stealth mechanic

Both scrapped

[outer osprey]

Stealth in Doom 3... Interesting

[lapis pollen]

is doom 3 decently fast paced

@outer osprey

[outer osprey]

Only if you play it right, dodging projectiles is good if you want it to be fast. It's definitely fast-paced but not like its sequels (DOOM 2016 and Eternal)

Also make sure to sprint during combat

If you want, take cover but I personally don't like taking cover in any Doom game.

[honest lynx]

Doom 3 is as fast as you play it. It is slower but it depends on your play style

[outer osprey]

Exactly

[clear ridge]

This comment gave me cancer

Good thing they veered back on track

Doom 2016 and doom eternal are a godsend though
You have to agree it’s a damn good thing they did that instead of releasing that early doom 4 build

[honest lynx]

I enjoy doom 3 for the " what if a average marine was on the uac base during an invasion no doom slayer in sight" vibe. They nailed it

[outer osprey]

I don't know why did he delete it though.

[clear ridge]

We know why

[honest lynx]

Doom 3 is the closet we have to a doom odst

How the fuck is some random dude going to glory kill

[outer osprey]

I have yet to finish Doom 3 RoE

I'm in Phobos Labs 3 at this moment

[honest lynx]

I cant even break an orange in half without a struggle

[honest lynx]

You should its a blast bro

Thank God for the ssg

[outer osprey]

The Super Shotgun in RoE... is fucking AWESOME

[honest lynx]

Main campaign?

[outer osprey]

You can literally one-hit kill Cacodemons, Revenants, and other op demons with the SSG

[honest lynx]

I don't like how you don't get to kill betruger

Really bothered me as a kid

[outer osprey]

Me too, atleast we did that in RoE though

[honest lynx]

Yeah but it's a random

Betruger annoys you the whole main campaign then gets away

[outer osprey]

Agreed, didn't like the ending of the main campaign

[honest lynx]

[lapis pollen]

You ever just wonder why life

[outer osprey]

But I was kinda happy that Doom3guy still lived

[honest lynx]

Well they aren't born yet

[supple gull]

ROEguy stole Doom3guy's kill

[crude hatch]

Best doom 3 mods?

[half plank]

yeah

[quaint hemlock]

Can we take a minute to acknowledge how bad the commercial for this game was!

https://youtu.be/1iPzc1MCE1o

[supple gull]

I wish there were more sentry bot encounters

[honest lynx]

Controlling one +

[wraith echo]

you can also one hit them with the normal shotgun if you're lucky

[clear ridge]

DOOM free

[scenic stratus]

looooool !!!

[wintry olive]

I never understood this, like was the best way to advertise a game to show the cute and lovable characters dying horribly in a trash compactor?

Or whatever that is

[opal pagoda]

any way to unlock fps in the original doom 3 ?

[wintry olive]

use dhewm3 maybe

[true ermine]

well-
technically the doom slayer wasn't in doom 1, 2, or 64, he just got the powers after that

so, he was also just a marine

I'm wondering is doom 3 the prequel to 2016, or, is doom 1, 2, and 64 the prequel to 2016?

[outer osprey]

the latter

DOOM 3 is canon but it's set in a different dimension

[true ermine]

yep-
makes more sense because both have different classic armours, and, the original 1993 armor is the one for Doom eternal

[honest lynx]

Actually no. He wasn't. You have to remember his blood line

[outer osprey]

I like how Doom3guy is still capable of having 10 weapons despite being a normal marine.

[honest lynx]

Its actually possible. There was a Mythbusters episode on it hahah

[verbal cobalt]

USMC best of the best

[honest lynx]

[outer osprey]

[honest lynx]

They just want their product

[outer osprey]

Betruger emote in this server when

[honest lynx]

Doom 1 2 64 then 2016. 3 is not canon yet

[ashen nimbus]

Hey guys, how do I claim the rewards for doom 3 bfg edition?

[supple gull]

I wish we could've found Specialist Wilson

And Storage Room C4 guy

[clear ridge]

These are emojis

I had no clue these emojis existed

[ripe bloom]

I like how u can murder the innocent npcs in cold blood

[ripe bloom]

Wym he telepathically reloads any gun that doesn't have 2 barrels

[versed estuary]

You don’t, BFG edition doesn’t give rewards

[honest lynx]

He basically comes from a long line of super soldiers. It's safe to say he would be one too

[wintry olive]

One developer mentioned that it was doom if the first two games never happened

[honest lynx]

Its actually not confirmed to be canon yet or another dimension. I think hugo kinda mentioned it but no real details were given
