Yeeehaaa Got my DOOM 3 !

[GUNWOUNDS]

i think the game is very original in its engine design.... i havent said "wow" to a game since i played Halo and that was years ago.

[GUNWOUNDS]

Oh, I didn't call them. Wonder how that will play out?

Wolfwiz... i did send the transmission... and i notice the scientist who is possessed ... when he talks to you for the first time on the monitor he says the same thing swann says... that you are a fool and that he will take over the ships.

... since you didnt send the transmission... what did the possessed scientist say to you on the monitor... (you know when he first contacts you... where he tries to suffocate you with green gass)

Well i just got to delta labs 1 ....

i am taking alot longer than others to beat this .... but i am playing on the hardest level while some i know have played it on easy or medium.

[Cyborg]

Do the zombies have two lives on the hardest?

Easy is really easy... I felt scared and wanted it easy, but now I'm getting the bill...

well zombies take 2 or 3 shotgun blasts.. depending on how close they are.....

but its more frightening on hard.... because the higher creatures are alot tougher so you take more damage and often have to resort to using heavier weapons like plasmagun and rocket launcher to kill them.... so its alot more intense on hard level.

But the problem is that you will progress much slower... because you have to take your time and plan out what you will do instead of just blazing through the level blasting everything in one hit... but i like it it like that.... it makes you savor the game.

[Cyborg]

You don't run around much in easy either.

You'd get killed playing arcade style.

[Megashrap]

Well i'm playin as marine instead of recruit, and just got plasma rifle.  But i've been doin what gun was talkin about, searching each level for hidden shit, ive been acting like a metal detector looking for hidden,extra stuff. So so far i've just been exploring each place everywhere I can no matter how much times it has taken me. Thank god for the flashlight. :)

[Megashrap]

Something I thought was so damn cool graphic wise, is when you first go into the restroom  and see yourself for the first time in the mirror lol

I couldnt help but think damn that looks real as hell. i can remember the old duke nukem games where you do that and think ah.. how cute you can see yourself but didnt think much of it. Kinda trivial I know just thought the realism was excellent. :)

[GUNWOUNDS]

yea its the little things that help add to the whole effect....

btw scar... did you read what the front desk guy wrote in his supplemental log on his screen?

[Megashrap]

I didnt see it but i'll go back to saved game and check it out which one though?

Mars City Underground?

[GUNWOUNDS]

Monorail: map game/monorail

haha yea its addictive... i am halfway thru Delta lab 3 .. man its a grind... lots of chaingun commandoes and some kind of summoner.... if you see a summoner.... ignore what it is summoning and just kill it or it will never stop.

[Megashrap]

Something else i've been noticing now is when i hear a demon coming i can now accociate the sound of it and queue the type of gun i'm used to dealing with that certain one, if that makes any sense. lol and if i don't recognize the sound it makes i whip out the rocket launcher. juste for insurance.

[Dunenewt]

You lot are making me sooooooooooooooooo jealous!

[Terror]

yeah me too. I realy liked the Doom games and this one seems even better. Too bad i still don't have the comp to run it.

[Megashrap]

Well, all i can say is if you are a doom fan, or a shooter fan then get it for sure. :)

[GUNWOUNDS]

Whoever has beaten DOOM... please read my hidden text i am a bit confused about one part of the ending... please PM me or reply in hidden text please... thanks.

*****Warning Ending SPOILER TEXT***** ( i need a question answered)

[hide] I am confused... Does Dr. Betruger turn into that flying demon at the end?... or does it eat him?

[Megashrap]

hehe, i haven't got that far yet. But here's some pretty good tips for anyone just starting a game....(not a spoiler just common sense stuff).

* Save often, except when you're low on health. This is your key to surviving.

* Search areas everywhere for extra items hiding dark cornors etc.

* Get to know the controls before you enter Mars City Underground. If you are

  just standing still like a puppet the monsters will slay you easily. If you

  know how to move it'll be a lot harder for them.

* You might want to set the brightness of the game a bit brighter, since the

  game is pretty dark.

* Talk with everyone you can, interact with anything, read anything, listen to

  anything and watch everything.

* Re-load your gun when you are not into combat to assure you don't have to

  reload when a group of zombies want to taste your leg and brains.

* In combat, don't stand behind something that can explode.

* In combat, aim for the head.

* Listen carefully, since you can hear when enemies are nearby.

* Use the right gun for the right situation. Don't use your plasma gun on one

  Trite, and don't use a pistol against a boss.

* Enjoy the game! The most important part =)

Sometimes when i'm playing i just get too overwhelmed and stop for a bit, like everytime those baby flies attack me and i have to kill it, and it makes some baby dying sound  :'(

[Megashrap]

I think its designed that way, but it's all good, kill em all.  The faster you do the faster they shutup. ;D

[Super-ness]

Yeah, but sometimes its too predictable, like "hmm a dark corner"

[me=KaL]blasts at it randomly, and it would be a zombie[/me]

but the woman screaming when the hallways light up is freaky

[Megashrap]

I think i like when he goes berzerk though and just beats the shit out of everything. :)I'm in the caverns now, i cant imagine it getting any harder lol.

[GUNWOUNDS]

I'm in the caverns now, i cant imagine it getting any harder lol.

save your ammo bro... you are gonna need lot of BFG and rockets.... theres gonna be tons of HellKnights...

[Megashrap]

Damn, now i'm wondering the same thing about this...

[DooM]

One thing, I can't believe how little time you need to finish the game the first time... I got it 3 days and already got through my first time, on Recruit level though, so I will go for the higher levels as well, but damn... So short...

But one other thing, that final boss... That's the most amazing thing in a game I've ever seen, but still it looked familiar enough to connect it to the old DooM games, the friggin' Cyberdemon! But nonetheless, he was easier to beat than the Cyberdemon in DooM and DooM 2...

[hide]I think he is the demon...[/hide]
