Hey Guys! I covered Tweaker from Doom 3 with an Orchestral Twist!
I am sure you will love this!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuekpbmJuAM

Another Doom Cover! This time it's Tweaker, from Doom 3.
As Always, I added my orchestra parts to it, and made a fun little video, too.
Some shots still look great, even for a 20 year old game.
I remember wanting to buy the game when it first came out, but I was too young and couldn't get it. after playing it recently, I am glad that I didn't ...

Can i ask a question

#

Do i get the red slayer skin if i get doom 3 from steam

livid wharf
#

Yes. You’ll need a Bethesda.com account to connect them though

desert wasp
#

I do have one

#

So is there any like special way to connect them

#

Like theres notging inside the game or i gotta connect my steam account

livid wharf
#

I think you just need to log in through both games and you should be good

desert wasp
#

I did this i prob need more play time

#

Also my brother owns doom enternal i got it trough family share i got the first 2 skins tho

livid wharf
#

If that didn’t work then IDK

desert wasp
#

And i like bought doom 3

versed estuary
#

Doom 3 on steam has no Bethesda connection

desert wasp
#

So does that mean i dont get the slayer skin

honest lynx
#

You'll still get the skin

#

Some day

desert wasp
#

@honest lynx i can still refund

livid wharf
#

I recommend giving Doom 3 itself a go. It’s good and extremely unique

desert wasp
#

I mean i am gonna play the game but i want the skin too why to miss out on this feture

#

I first bought the game itself but than i tought about the skin like the first 100 minjtes if playtime

livid wharf
#

Fair enough

desert wasp
#

The first 11 minutes it blackscreened i fixed it

I wish Doom 3 had explored more the concept of monster infight, rather than be a basic mechanic like the classic this could have been used to show there's different levels in the hell hierarchy and some demons (like the more primitive ones) always show a hostile behavior to others except the smarter demons.
For example:
-Zombies and Z-Secs being at the buttom of the list are hunted and attacked by beast type demons like Pinkies and Maggots (something like that iconic scene from the alpha).
-The smart demons of hell army mostly ignore former humans, but they won't hesitate to kill them if they are accidentally attacked in the crossfire.
-Trites being spider like creatures catch other plague demons in their webs, especially Cherubs, Lost Souls and other flying things. I imagine zombies can be other easy prey to them.
-HellKnights, Mancubus and Bruiser can eliminate other low rank demons as Imps if they are in their way to kill the marine. However they shouldn't do this to other high tier as Revenants and Arch-Viles.

vernal crest
#

Eh, I dunno revenantshrug

#

I mean, anything story related was mostly cut because Tim said that it was "too much story", so it wouldn't surprise me if the writers wanted to actually explore it but couldn't

slate gulch
#

The demons do have ranks for infighting in Doom 3. An imp that gets hurt by a hell knight won't do anything about it but a hell knight that gets hit by an imp will kill it

#

The enemies have a Rank number in their stats

dull wigeon
#

I know infight exist in the game, the problem is you barely will see this happen in the main campaign.
Is a problem of how maps are design and the low enemy count

scenic stratus
#

well, i've just finished Splinter Cell: Blacklist
congrats, bro! (me)

acoustic acorn
#

to be fair, there is a hierarchy system of sorts in classic. Pain elementals and archviles will never be targets of infighting. Archies will switch targets 100 % of the time when hit rather than caring about maintaining target. Lost souls forget their targets. Hitscanners will infight everything which makes sense as the low tier zombies. Barons and knights don't fight each other at all.

honest lynx

that would make sense, but yeah demons do sometimes hit eachother which causes some epic battles of 2145 ||I'm not sorry Cacoawkward||

For DOOM 3: BFG Edition on Xbox 360, is the versions of Ultimate DOOM and DOOM II the Xbox LIVE Arcade versions or are they different versions entirely? I'm looking to get them for extra Gamerscore as they've now been delisted from the MS Store

ok guys since there is the steam summer sale i wanted to know if i should buy doom 3 bfg edition. i remember years ago me and my dad played the classic games with bdg edition together and the console that had it broke. i want to buy it for good memories but is doom 3 good?

livid wharf
#

Doom 3 is good but imo the vanilla version is the better option than BFG edition

dense fulcrum
#

why is that?

livid wharf
#

BFG edition significantly reduced the difficulty for no good reason (Doom 3 wasn’t exactly hard to begin with) and isn’t compatible with modding like the original release

#

Also the original release is a fourth of the price and even with the DLC added is less than half the BFG Edition cost

vernal crest
#

Someone also made the LM mod in case you wanted to play it

half plank
#

BFG makes it way easier and cuts out content. This is especially noticable in the Resurrection of Evil expansion where entire rooms are missing for some reason. Also you can't skip cutscenes for some reason. You cannot skip cutscenes, in a Doom game.

Buy the original and either load up dhewm3 or use the really good enhanced edition mod.

The actual body bobbing and weaving sounds fun

honest lynx
#

Surprisingly shooting around corners is my favorite thing

restive delta
#

I don't want to stoke any BFG vs original fires, just interested in what actually changed between the game when people are suggesting the pacing is different. Is movement speed actually faster on BFG? Or is it just that the additional ammo makes it faster?

versed estuary
#

Fire stoked. Get the pitchforks

#

We going hunting

#

So from my understanding

#

BFG is brighter overal. And base movment speed is faster

restive delta
#

I mean, I've played both, but I haven't played the original for quite a while so I honestly wouldn't recall a difference in movement speed. But for sure I did a run of RoE on BFG not long ago without using the Artifact, and there were definitely elements that changed, like the bosses seemed to have reduced health, plus more ammo helped of course without the Artifact abilities

versed estuary
#

More ammo and health everywhere

#

Also in BFG a metric ass ton of monsters were cut

#

As much as 40-50monsters a level

#

As well as quite a good chunk of segments were cut

#

Some segments i think i heard were brought back in lost mission? But no all

#

Also og doom 3 has more arcade games than just turkey puncher. Bfg only has turkey

restive delta
#

I had no idea about monster cuts, I didn't actually play the base campaign on BFG yet DeagNilox

versed estuary
#

I havent played base game yet but these were all things I found out. The monster cuts alone would make sense at moments i felt were a little empty

restive delta
#

Oh yeah, the arcade games being cut in RoE BFG sucks. Plus they removed the air canister requirement in that toxic section. And removed the blue fog area from hell

#

Interesting with the monster cuts since I didn't really notice in RoE I must say. So if it's a big difference in the base game that's pretty crazy

versed estuary
#

I believe it was only base game

#

I could be wrong

#

That had the cuts

honest lynx
versed estuary
#

The slightly faster movement does help let you rush up with the shotgun a bit better thats for sure

restive delta
#

Now I'm tempted to play the base campaign on BFG. I remember the original fairly well so it'll be interesting

versed estuary
#

I believe one of the biggest cuts is like number of cacos

#

Lemme see if i can find the list

restive delta
#

I do enjoy a bit of strafe jumping with the sprint these days spooky I never used to do that back in the day though, so I guess I wouldn't notice movement speed

Riot Shield Troopers are those Z-Sec variants that use a pistol and are equipped with a shield

they are so rare that they are absent in the original xbox version

dull wigeon
#

Does D3 Revenant feels a bit weak despite being considered a high rank enemy? He's really slow, his rockets don't inflict so much damage and they're kinda easy to avoid.
And I don't even counting how the plasma rifle is a hard counter to them.

versed estuary
#

On what difffutly?

dull wigeon
#

Veteran

versed estuary
#

Their rockets do quite a bit of damage

#

You might be getting lucky and only getting hit with one at a time

#

But do keep in mind in this universe the technology is different so the rocket launchers are a tad weaker in general

#

It’s usually why they try to send 2-3 revs at once

#

Revs are also more mid rank

#

High would be archviles, bruisers, hellknights, mancs

acoustic acorn
#

I found them harder to avoid than doom2 revs. didn't know that chainsaw beats shields though

versed estuary

If you use plasma rifle u can shoot rockets out of the air

Armour is useless compared to what? It actually functions almost exactly the same as the green armour in classic Doom

#

But yes if you're used to 2016 and Eternal you might feel like it's "useless" because you're used to stacking on raw hit points

acoustic acorn
restive delta
#

Well yes, it will be relative to how much damage enemies actually deal. And the difference there is classic Doom values change via the numbers table. I think Doom 3 values are static. But I never really felt that damage levels are excessive in Doom 3, beyond enemies that have a high rate of fire, or knockback the player making it harder to aim.

acoustic acorn
#

yeah damage was relatively low. The main thing that gave me trouble were jump scare monsters at doorways but that was just a health tax, not like it kills

vernal crest
#

also, I heard that the Marine appears armorless in the cutscene if he doesn't have any armor on, just wondering if this is true

honest lynx
vernal crest
#

yeah Ik they exist, just wondering since I saw someone mention that intern

restive delta
#

You'll notice he (always?) has the shotgun in cutscenes too, despite what you previously had selected.

vernal crest
#

yeah, he's very fond of it MarauderAyayaya, although in the cutscene where he retrieves the transmission-card-thingy and in the hellknights cutscene he has the machine gun

#

an of course when he meets Ishi (I think that's his name) he has a pistol, but it makes sense considering it's the only thing they gave him

restive delta
#

Yeah, would be funny to have a shotgun then before you even get it spooky

"Marine, since you're the ranking FNG, it means that you don't get any cool guns until otherwise stated."

scenic stratus

can’t remember offhand, it’s not the case with recruit difficulty?

honest lynx
#

I play doom 3 VR nightmare these days and in that case it's basically nothing

half plank
#

armor is meaningless

vernal crest
#

armor is just there to make the Doom Marine look less buffer, while also making me question why he was given a different armor

acoustic acorn
half plank
#

I think he was just assigned to some basic shit jobs because someone needed to do em. Even sarge calls you a ranking "FNG" (Fucking New Guy). I mean he's given the basic stock armor in the shittiest part of mars.

half plank
acoustic acorn
#

yeah so what's happening with it? Doomwiki says that it's 30 % protection. Maybe with the amount of damage that enemies do, 30 % ends up rounding down to way less. Like if you take a 10 damage hit, this'll only take 2 damage since floor(0.3 * 10) = 2

half plank
#

the math works but in game it doesnt. i have no clue why but its shit

vernal crest
half plank
#

if you removed armor entirely i dont think anyone would notice

acoustic acorn
#

it's like green armor only protects 1 health point when in 5 damage lava

livid wharf
#

Green armor frankly doesn’t help that much in Classic Doom either. Blue armor is common enough to mitigate that, though

acoustic acorn
#

Hey, it helps. But the difference between green and blue is pretty big

livid wharf
#

Yup

#

33% is substantially less than 50%

#

Also I think the armor coverage rounds down if it doesn’t go evenly

vernal crest
#

I've noticed that whenever something hits you on the either head or legs, you get damaged while the armor cag get untouched, but when hit in the chest the armor gets damaged more

livid wharf
#

Huh. That’s really interesting

hard wolf
#

Ive seen pros not use armor when they see it mainly because then the less damaged taken will be lower

#

I was mainly talking about classic dooms, even though its doom 3 i just wanted to point that out

Oh yeah Decino mentioned that in his armor video

Being a marine on Mars must be the easiest money ever.

wraith pumice
#

decided to finish Lost Mission in one go yesterday, it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes

#

it was a lot of fun

#

Lost Mission is like the Blue Shift of Doom 3. It barely has any new things unlike the previous expansion and is very short, but it's enjoyable and is good for killing time

restive delta
#

Yeah Lost Mission is great, short but action packed, and a good balance having some elements from both base Doom 3 and RoE

scenic stratus
#

Just started it

#

And one question, is the guy in the beginning doom marine guy?

#

And is he the same as in doom 2016 or are these different doom guys

vernal crest
#

the Marine in Doom 3 is a different person, apparently the Doomguy from classic games is the same character from Doom 4 and Eternal (which I'm.... not too fond of), but they're all pretty much badasses

restive delta
#

Yeah Doom 3 marine is supposed to be a different timeline from the others. Particularly that in terms of actual dates it doesn't make sense, since Doom 2016 is set only a few years after Doom 3 I think, judging by the codex entries.

vernal crest
#

it's part of the multiverse

#

and modern Doom isn't really suppost to have a date

honest lynx
vernal crest
#

they've had demonic invasions happened at army? hmm Coffee_Guy

honest lynx
#

Probably

restive delta
#

But anyway the point was supposed to be that those dates conflict with the setting of Doom 3 which also suggests it's not part of the same game universe or whatever one likes to call it. Beyond I believe the devs have said in interviews it's not supposed to be related

vernal crest
#

almost every Doom game takes place in a different universe since multiverse is a thing (as they confirmed that every mod is canon now), from the first Doom game to Doom 64 it was in the same universe, Doom 4 and Eternal take place in a different universe but the Doomguy is the same guy as the classic protagonist

strange valve
#

Or turned into a zombie with no head, still animated by demonic possession, up until the Doom Marine shotguns you to pieces, and a perfectly-intact brain comes out somehow.

dull wigeon
#

Just a random idea: the Marine from The Lost Mission possibly turn into a zombie after the ending of the campaign.
He was exposed to hell, and nobody besides the doomguy ended up ok after that. The only possible explanation to that is the Soul Cube protected or healed his mind and soul thanks to the magic it posses.
For the bravo team marine?Would be kinda depressing if the rescue team had to kill him after he becomes crazy and try to attack them.

hey i need some help so im almost at doom 3 and i have been wondering should i play original doom 3 or bfg edition. I heard bfg has some major changes to the game but is it that bad to not just play it there and 100% percent it

vernal crest
#

The OG Doom 3 is definitely better and more recommended, but if there's no other option then go for the BFG Edition, it's not super bad but, it's just way less good

tame moat
#

Playing the XBOX version of Doom 3 on its release was an awesome experience. then the BFG edition came out years later and it was the PC version, so had more story and content, but they got rid of the flashlight mechanic. I know it wasnt popular but walking along with that flashlight, panic swapping to a weapon and shooting into the dark atr what ever you saw was a ride.

that was a change from the original pc version too

the gun casting a second of light when fired also kinda made it look like a horror movie trailer, I'm probably the only one to think that tho

ok thanks yall

Yeah the muzzle flash was awesome. I remember buying it in the afternoon and waiting until it was dark (and it was summer here, so like 9pm) and then playing it with the surround sound. I think the over all experience cemented it as one of my GOATs

If I put a Doom 3 Xbox disc into my Xbox One or Series X, do I also get access to all the DLC, or do I still need to purchase that separately? I'm trying to decide what platform to grab it on, and I'd prefer to play the original Xbox version, but I also want access to the dlc, which the PS4 version just comes with.

Oh. Yeah I kind of agree. I never got to play Doom 3 back in the day, but I find the original Xbox version pretty interesting for some reason. A lot of original Xbox games are like that for me, like San Andreas, Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.

#

They have this novelty to them that I really like.

half plank
#

Agreed! Original Xbox Doom 3 is a blast too. It makes a lot of cuts but I think for the most part all the cuts are actually not bad. Cuts out a lot of the filler I didn't like in the original. It also adds some scripted events too. Like one of the enemies guns down a civilian in one of the maps. So that was cool I guess?

hey y'all, I'm just about to start Doom 3 and I was just wondering if I should use that Enhanced Edition mod? I only got myself to the menu and noticed the game feels rather less suited for modern systems (no widescreen, resolution stuff, etc) and so after changing the video settings a bit I closed out to let it update and decided to look into some other options while I was out.

scenic stratus
#

Yea

random sundial
#

guess that answers it, thanks.

#

oh, is the 2004 release port of The Lost Mission any good? just saw it on moddb while looking at enhanced edition.

slate gulch
#

Use the dhewm3 source port

random sundial
#

what's that?

slate gulch
#

A source port

random sundial
#

dwehm3, i mean

slate gulch
#

Dhewm3 is a source port for Doom 3 made to play it on modern hardware

random sundial
#

doesn't the original already run on modern hardware? it's not like it was made for DOS like the classic games

slate gulch
#

Dhewm3 runs it perfectly on modern hardware without any issues and allowing an easy access to options as well as allowing it to actually enable EAX Reverb

#

It also has support for the Lost Mission mod

#

But Phobos still needs vanilla

random sundial
#

i dunnno, i feel like i'd rather just use EE
is it like, significantly better or anything?

slate gulch
#

Its the best way I've ever played Doom 3

#

Its just. Just. Doom 3. In a source port. Like Chocolate or Crispy Doom.

random sundial
#

oop

#

well i found an old Reddit thread that recommends a "redux" mod over dhewm3

#

idk though, i mean, it just seems a little unnecessary
you say it's the best, but like, by how much?

slate gulch
#

I wouldn't and I played Doom 3 back when it was on disc

#

I just want Doom 3. Running perfectly on modern hardware. Thats what Dhewm3 is.

random sundial
#

hm

#

honestly I only really wanted to fix the aspect ratio and resolution and stuff, anything else is kinda just a bonus. I think I'll just use EE for now.

#

1 - Run "setup.exe" and follow the instructions, make sure to point it to your "Doom 3" folder when asked where to install it

2 - (Optional) Run "setup_ammo.exe" and do the same as the first step if you want to play the original campaigns with tighter ammo balance.

3 - Launch the game and enjoy.
Well, just to slightly contradict myself, I notice this ammo rebalance thing is included in the mod. Should I use this?

slate gulch
#

You don't even need a mod for the resolution

random sundial
#

i do for widescreen though, don't I?

slate gulch
#

No

random sundial

doesn't the native fix just stretch it?

slate gulch

does that actually make it widescreen or just stretch the resolution, though?

regardless, i'm just curious about the ammo thing now. I have to go soon, too, so a quick response would be appreciated lol

Is the fall damage in this game supposed to be so ridiculous?
I'll fall down just a slight cliff and take damage, and if I fall down something even marginally taller, like missing a ladder that takes ~3 seconds to climb, my health will literally drop to like, -500

acoustic acorn
#

it wacky

random sundial
#

But the wacky is normal and expected?

scenic stratus
#

Probably not

livid wharf
#

I think it’s just how the physics engine works, intended or not.

#

I tried to calculate that but read it as falling for 3 seconds rather than climbing for 3 seconds and concluded that such a fall would absolutely kill a person, but you said 3 seconds up a ladder. One moment while I math that

#

I can’t find a statistic for how fast the average soldier can climb a ladder, but I figure that 1 m/s is probably reasonable, if a bit optimistic. A 3 meter fall onto concrete/metal would definitely hurt, and I could absolutely see a person breaking something that way if they’re unlucky, but probably not fatal. It wouldn’t be as severe on Mars due to lower gravity, but I imagine fall damage was assigned based on what felt right as Earth gravity

All energy projectiles have splash damage, even imp fireballs. Also direct hit damage and splash damage are mutually exclusive; you can only be hit by one from any given projectile

||It doesn’t actually matter. Betruger will send the message if you don’t||

Agh i don't wanna spoiler...
It's like
I thought the Swan guy was cool and a good guy at first
But then the guy on the radio was acting like he was a bad guy?
And I'm pretty sure the guy on the radio is a good guy, so
But also Swan was definitely against the evil scientist guy so that would seem to make him a good guy, right?
But now I see the choice, and I see they are both good guys, they just have different ideas of how to handle the thing
And it's like, well whose idea is better? And whose approval do I crave the most?

livid wharf
#

The spoiler is extremely minor if that helps

random sundial
#

And thinking now, I realize I'll probably get to like, maybe team up with one of them once I reach Delta? So then it's like who do I wanna team up with?
And I don't know the extent of the choice either. Is it just a short gameplay part or is there like another ending

#

Hhhhh

livid wharf
#

||It literally just changes a line of dialogue about halfway through the game.||

random sundial
#

I've actually done both choices. I sent the transmission, then rethought it, then replaced the entire level cause I didn't make a save for some reason, then I cancelled it (after a save), and now I'm like
Hhhh

#

Oh ok

I don’t remember. Maybe 2-3 levels?

I overthought it and now all the interesting stuff about it is gone, and whichever choice I go with I'll regret

What's the general perception of this game? I know some people really hate it and others are super big on it but like, how does the community in gender feel about it?
I imagine it'd be somewhat polarizing given the radical genre shift, but also it seems extremely well-received critically and commercially, so.

I really love it, but a massive amount of fans don't like the tone shift and criticize the arsenal, especially the shotgun. It's a divisive game but I think for the most part people kinda just find it average.

#

My first game was 2016 (got it on sale for like 5 bucks), and I liked it, so I decided to play the other games.
Worked my way up through Doom 1, 2, 64, and now I'm here.
I have a friend who's super into Doom—totally denounced this title. Said it sucked and wasn't worth playing. But I kinda wanted to play all the games and looking into it I found it seemed to be well-received, so I asked around.
Apparently not that it's a bad game, but just really different from the other Doom games, so it's common for people to be a fan of one and not the other.
But I was just wondering like, more broadly, what the perception of it is, outside if the more extreme opinions, I guess. Would it be accurate to call it a polarizing title?

slate gulch

Its really not that different than Doom 1

Just reimagined 11 years later

The dressings don't disguise it to me so I play 3 how I would play 1

random sundial
#

Alright

livid wharf
#

Yeah it’s not a true 1:1 by any means but they definitely have a similar vibe. Main differences are that the shotgun isn’t your default weapon, there’s way more story stuff and way less time in Hell (the best part of both games imo). I think each of the major labs sections should have been each consolidated into one level with the best parts of each level in that section, then have way more content dedicated to gauntlet running through Hell

random sundial
#

So uhh
What's the status on general Doom canon?
Is it just one of those "don't think about it too hard" kinda series?

livid wharf
#

It’s technically canon but it’s so far off as its own thing that it doesn’t matter to the other games

half plank
#

think its alt universe stuff or whatever. i dont fucking know

livid wharf
#

Yeah basically

random sundial
#

I meant like, in general
Does the series have any greater continuity or is it kinda all over the place?

#

Ik Doom 1, 2, and 64 are all together
3 is kinda??
I'm pretty sure Eternal is a direct sequel to 2016?

livid wharf
#

1, 2, and 64 happen one shortly after another, then 2016 and Eternal happen on another Earth some unknown but very long time later

random sundial
#

Hm
You know I'm starting to think we shouldn't be letting these UAC guys mess around with hell and stuff

#

Wait did you say another Earth?

livid wharf
#

Yes. Multiverse stuff, though they’re all connected to the same Hell

random sundial
#

This series just becomes more like Half-Life the more I learn about it huh
When is this said?

livid wharf
#

Hugo Martin has said it in interviews and there’s lots of minor references to the early games in modern Doom.

#

The connections between Doom 1, 2, and 64 are pretty explicit intext though, as are the connections between 2016 and Eternal

Man the shotgun in this game is kinda shit, huh?

scenic stratus
#

If it’s spread wasn’t that huge then it would’ve been overpowered

#

Especially In claustrophobic spaces

random sundial
#

i mean sure but it also kinda sucks at close range because the enemies' hitboxes shift around so much 😅

#

the fact that i'm pretty sure the hitscan lines originate off-centre from the camera certainly doesn't help, either
but i can certainly tell you i've missed an innumerable amount of point-blank shots because neither the area of effect of my weapon nor the hitbox of the enemy were as advertised

#

and also have hit a lot of shots i shouldn't have for that same reason

#

anyway, uh
how much longer do i have to go?
i just got to caverns 2

slim willow
#

Close to the end

livid wharf
#

I’d tweak the shotgun by halving the damage per pellet and doubling the pellet count. That way it’s still used for the same purpose, but the damage lost from shooting too far away would be more consistent and therefore make it a bit more forgiving to use

#

i'm just gonna get everything set up so after i'm done with RoE i can go straight to TLM

#

also i think i'm gonna write my review for this game about now
just to clarify, would it be accurate to refer to Doom 3 as a "polarizing title"?

vernal crest
#

Doom 3 is more like a "Doom but more horror, with other cool stuff too"

random sundial
#

yeah, definitely
but like, how does the general community feel about it?

vernal crest
#

most people love D3 actually, especially when it came out, just like how people love Eternal. But it's most new fans who "can't play Doom without PB mod" who pretty much say the same thing over and over and never explain it

#

a funny thing is that back when it came out the main complaint that people (along with critics) had is that it's "too much like Doom" and they could bring up an actual argument, but I don't see anyone saying that Eternal is "too much like Doom". Just something I find funny

Doom 3 is a bit of an oddball in the series. While previous Doom games were more focused on action with a touch of horror, Doom 3 goes in much harder on the horror aspect, pulling it more into action-horror hybrid territory. Doom 3, admittedly, doesn't feel like much of a Doom game; but this isn't a bad thing. An important part of enjoying anything is managing your expectations, and if you come in here expecting an action-packed fast-paced experience like Doom 2016 or Eternal, you will be sorely disappointed. Indeed, people who like the other Doom games may not necessarily like this entry, but fans of games like Half-Life and BioShock should feel right at home. The similarities are oftentimes quite striking, even.

I played using the Doom 3 Enhanced Edition mod, which provides in-menu widescreen support in addition to various minor tweaks and fixes.
here's my review 👍

#

Maybe doom 2016 and eternal aren’t good doom games

random sundial
#

where did that come from

#

also i'm a bit lost trying to install the lost mission mod. I tried to extract my stuff into it and I'm not sure if it worked.
can anyone show me what a vanilla Doom 3 file folder should look like?

#

ok, i think I got it sorted now

#

I wish I could send pictures, just so i could show what my folder is like to confirm. Lol

#

So it looks like TLM runs as a standalone program, which would mean that I should be able to set it as its own game on Steam
I'm just wondering if there's any art and such for it so that I could give it a proper poster and background and such

#

Enhanced Edition's such a cool mod too. Love how they made the final boss not a complete joke.

random sundial
#

I died a couple times on it. It was neat.
How exactly was it changed?

scenic stratus
#

I think it has more enemies

#

Normal edition only has imps and maggots

random sundial
#

Which are the maggots?
Also yeah there's definitely more than that in EE lol

half plank
#

maggots are the 2 headed guys that die in like 1 shotgun blast

random sundial
#

ah yes
those guys

scenic stratus
#

The ones that crawl

random sundial
#

there's also the 1 headed guys with the kinda wingy arms that are basically the same for practical purposes

#

and then there's the guys that are like, half baby half fly
baby flies
so, i mean
they're kinda maggots too, right? 😆

scenic stratus
#

No

#

They’re cherubs

#

I think that’s their name

livid wharf
#

I kinda wish that they had made the cyberdemon not immune to most weapons then remove cover so you have to deal with his attacks but can use BFG and stuff

random sundial
#

I'm not sure I understand

#

They might have changed it in Enhanced Edition but in the original you could only damage the final boss with the soul cube.

#

huh, that's a little weird
when i first played, after installing Enhanced Edition, opening the mods menu showed only that—Enhanced Edition. I clicked to load it but I wasn't sure if it actually did anything.

#

Now, I've also installed RoE and the TLM mod, and when I open the mods tab... all it shows are that. Doom 3, Restriction of Evil, and The Lost Mission.
loading them closes out of the game and relaunches with the respective campaign

#

which, is all cool and all. Guess I don't need to launch TLM from my file explorer, but
...why?

#

I mean I guess it makes sense for the other campaigns to have appeared there since they weren't actually installed before, but
why did EE disappear?

#

Also, um
I really don't understand why RoE appears as a full separate game on Steam rather than just like, actual DLC, or a simple launch option.

#

hm... I wonder if I could configure it to be that way? Have both expansions just appear as a launch option for Doom 3 rather than separate titles?
it would certainly be more eloquent.

#

I did go through the trouble of setting a custom background and logo and stuff for RoE (which admittedly isn't much trouble at all), and it would be cool to have the same for TLM (though I don't know if appropriately sized artwork for it even exists), but if they're all gonna launch from each other like that anyway it may be more fitting to have them all together, right?

Because it isn't DLC in the sense

is it possible to set the expansions as launch options for Doom 3 on Steam? And is there any appropriate artwork for the poster and banner of TLM?

Is it just me or is the super shotgun in this game reversed in functionality?

I wasn't asking for a quick launch option. I wanted to know if it was possible to set it as one of the options in the menu that appears when you try to launch some games (like Doom 3 having Doom 3 and Doom 3 server)

#

And also if there was any appropriate art for TLM that could be used as a banner and poster and stuff

Oh okay

honest lynx

#

I actually had that same thought!

honest lynx
#

I like that one honestly

livid wharf
#

That’s an unusually optimistic conclusion for a Doom game story and I like it

random sundial
#

Is it?
Protagonist usually survives entirely, doesn't he? I don't see how dying and going to heaven is "unusually optimistic"
Isn't it the other way around, honestly? Surviving would be more optimistic?

livid wharf
#

Optimistic in that it implies that anything good can happen to someone after death in the Doomverse

random sundial
#

Into the Doomverse

#

I mean, why wouldn't that be? There's nothing indicating hell is the only afterlife
Doom II's ending even indicates the opposite, that it is indeed only for bad people.
Though honestly based on the complete lack of any damned humans being tortured or anything in there I'm kinda doubtful Doom hell is even an afterlife at all.

livid wharf
#

Modern Doom especially takes an incredibly bleak direction on Hell of lots of souls in hell while Urdak (closest thing we’ve seen to Doom heaven) has no humans, implying that everyone goes to Hell

random sundial
#

Oh I haven't played Eternal yet so idk anything about that lol

honest lynx
#

Also new doom says if a demon kills ya you definitely go to hell too

livid wharf
#

Classic Doom is more ambiguous with the nature of the afterlife and leans into Judeochristian ideas a good bit

slim willow
#

What i like is that it's the same Hell in all of the Doom games

livid wharf
#

I like to treat modern Doom as its own thing due to the amount of retcon stuff it does

That's just head Canon now though

well that's TLM done
liked it, short and sweet, always been a fan of stories that happen alongside the main campaign
ending was a bit awkward again but no complaints here 😆

#

I... guess i'm done with Doom 3, now
it's been fun, but I have other things to do now
like Dusk, which my friend was so insistent I play he literally gifted it to me

#

oh hey, one last thing
what's with the CD keys option thing on Steam? appears under the manage option when you right click the game
it says you'll need to copy and paste the key when you launch the game to activate it or something but I never had to do any of that?

honest lynx

Vr doom is eternal

I still haven’t gotten around to that Doom 3 reimagining I want to make (basically I want to make a Doom 3 campaign redesign that keeps the same story and all but compresses the first half of the game and has way more time spent in Hell)

Tbf my main issue with Doom 3 is that the pacing, especially in the first third, is far too slow

So I was playing with the Trent Reznor sound pack recently, and imo it was a pretty disappointing. I'd even call it very overrated, after hear many times this sound pack makes the game a whole new experience (and better).
In reality it only changes like 4 weapons and 4 monsters but nothing else, and in most cases Reznor sounds are a direct downgrade of vanilla.
Some of my observations are:
-The marine sounds like a teenager here idk why. Apparently Trent himself do the "voice acting" which is weird.
-Imps sound almost cartoony and out of place.
-Commandos repeat their cheesy voice lines whitout any proper trigger, which breaks the atmosphere and make's them to easy to spot.
-Zombies are meh.
-Pinkies and Hell Knights are probably the best ones. These sounds is particular could be used for other demons.

I want to mess with campaign mods, and one thing I want to try is combat encounters that push the limits of how big Doom 3 fights can be. Real slaughter map shit. Imagine a level that has you dealing with a non-boss version of the cyberdemon in the distance while cacos fill the sky and a couple dozen maggots are trying to get in melee range and chainsaw zombies are on the outskirts for flavor and two brutes are roaming the arena all at once. That kind of chaotic carnage
