Doom 3, much like FEAR, is one of those games that managed to master dynamic lighting that basically 0 games even came close in about 20 years.

Doom3 is one of my favorite games in terms of atmosphere and sound design. The 'feel' of Doom3 has never departed my mind.

PARTY ROCK PROTOCOL: INITIATE

Doom 1, 2 & 64 are classic metal. Doom 3 is black metal. Doom 4 & Eternal is speed metal.

How is every one forgetting that Half Life's Story idea was a spin on the first Dooms story. Doom 3 really is what Carmac wanted to do in Doom 1.

Doom 3's biggest problem has always been that it's just alright when everything that was coming out around the same time was either amazing or revolutionary. Edit: considering I accidentally started a war in the comments, I'll say this: I think Doom 3 is a fine game, and unlike some people I don't get butthurt about it "not being a real Doom game". My point is that yes, Doom 3 is a good game, but it had this misfortune of coming out in possibly the most stacked year in gaming history and compared to the many other games coming out around the same time, it doesn't nearly have as much legacy or staying power as those other games like HL2, WoW, etc. Still Doom 3 is fun and I'm glad people are still enjoying it all these years later.

I can still remember being terrified as a kid when the demons start getting summoned and never managed to beat the game. But playing it as a grown up, the game is actually a decent fps horror shooter just like fear

I love the idea of this shredded marine struggling to hold a gun and also a torch at the same time, and just chosing to hold one or the other. Truly marines are God's special children.

Call me boring, but I actually love reading through the various emails of the employees. I like to imagine what each employee was doing when they wrote this email, what they looked like, where they worked, etc. It gives a sense of just how massive the facility really was before the invasion happened. Plus, it was my first real Doom game bar playing the original on some random site.

It's flawed but I like Doom 3's commitment to a darker theme far more than I enjoy the doll collecting in 2016 and Eternal tbh.

i ran through doom 3 again recently, it holds up pretty well with it's lighting and cramped design. i wound up just looking up the locker codes halfway through because it's so tedious to backtrack and look for the right PDA's

Fun fact: The doom 3 shotgun, despite being labeled a shotgun is somehow not a shotgun, but a 300 year old blunderbuss.

You are probably the first reviewer who actually played original Doom3 (?), not the crappy BFG edition (at least HUD from OG Doom3). BFG version is easier for whatever reason, even if Doom3 was never hard. People back in a days misunderstood this game, Doom3 was slow paced FPS with "mah immersive sim" elements (System Shock 2 vibes was huge), not a meat grinder shooter, absolutly loved it (not a fan of new Doom games, I guess I just burned out at boomer shooters). And sound design was top notch.

I've said before that if you take the original Doom 1 and 2, and split its elements apart: Doom 3 is if you make a horror game, and Doom 2016 and Eternal are if you make an action game. In all honesty, I've played Doom 3 numerous times and had fun with it. I played Doom 2016 once and felt like I'd seen everything there was to see.

Doom 3 is a terrific horror game. Just an unrelentingly chaotic experience, I was surprised how anxious I felt playing it after having beaten a number of other scary games. Doesn't deserve the hate and it certainly isn't average. As far as space horrors are concerned this is up there among the best. I feel sick thinking about playing it again lol.

Doom 3 will always have a special place in my heart. Nothing comes close to the feeling of dread on some of the levels. And Doom 3 taught me how to code. I mean seriously it's a valuable game

@3:41 "Story is pretty much ripped from half life" - it's the other way around. The UAC experimenting with teleporters and opening a gate to hell is mentioned in the original doom game (it also predates event horizon by about five years).

Prey 2017 is a very different game but it also does the interactable terminal stuff quite well, to the point I think that its particular take on it was inspired by Doom 3 and DXHR.

Funny thing is I didn't even know Doom 3 was considered bad until years later. When I was a kid, everyone seemed to love it and in the circles I interacted with the number of its fans rivaled those of Half-Life 2 and 3D GTA games,
