Official DOOM 3 discussion thread

[Strider]

way to many pages to look through, but has anyone noticed that if you jump up and look over a wall, you'll find there's nothing there-only to walk around the supposedly safe corner and get ripped to shreds by something...

I think you need to seek medical help. Now.

lol! I remember that bit, I didn't try it like that though

Also I am jammy as hell, I guessed the code for the room with the BFG in it! I just went crazy hitting as many numbers as I could to try and get the code and I got it right

I am only out of the game cos I shot the BFG at close range

Also here is a pic of something I thought was pretty funky.

Eurogamer review is up:

Eurogamer is as bad as Edge. Pretentious negative tosh.

But I have to say, all reviews are completely pointless regardless of how self righteous they are. Perhaps someday people will make their own decisions what games to buy and like.

I've found it fairly tame so far (i'm in the alpha labs sector 4). Where are you ish?

I'm only at the blinkin' start. I'm a coward when it comes to PC FPS games. Movies don't scare me at all: but sit me in front of a PC with a half scary FPS and a pair of headphones....

[Ciaran]

I'm normally the same when playing games. I could never play Silent Hill or Resident Evil and even Half Life scared me when I played through it first. But Doom doesn't seem to be having an affect on me.

[Ish]

Console games don't bother me so much. Its something about the glow of the PC screen....

Right. Well I'm going back in...

[Ciaran]

Good luck soldier, and remember its only a game.

This is the best source of fixes for various issues that I've found.

I have to say I'm utterly stunned not only by the speed at which tweaks for Doom 3 have emerged, but also by their startling effectiveness. I really should not be able to run Ultra settings at a high FPS, yet somehow...

iD deserve a massive pat on the back for this one. The game's getting better too!

Got my US copy of this today courtesy of Video Games Plus, it was sent on the Wednesday and arrived this morning. Top service.

Anyway, fearing the that the game would run like a dog, I was pleasantly surprised to find I could run it at 1280x1024 on Medium detail with a frame-rate of 45-55 (this would drop to 30 when the screen began to fill slightly).

I was quite chuffed with how it looked as well...



As posted elsewhere, my rig consists of; Athlon 2200, 1GB DDR333 Ram & Radeon 9700 Pro.

where is best place to order so it deffo arrives on friday and not monday or later in the following week ?

[demon9k]

I would say gameplay, they usually deliver early. I think there is a topic around with someone asking the same question. Most people said gameplay iirc.

edit - http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=27005

there is the topic.
