Doom III is out there! W00T!

[Xylene]

Well this thread sure died down.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

creative has like the worst drivers out there. it's always a bitch to install them and they give a lot of problems.

agreed, and cause there wasnt any driver updates for it, im removing it, and reformatting was both teh quickest and easiest (i have a remote server behidn me that i backup to, and reinstalling takes 5-10 minuts MAX, then half an hour for the windows updates,,,, vs spending couple hours digging through regestry / folders to dig creative out

I got my copy of Doom III, woohoo! I haven't had a chance to install it yet, I picked it up on the way to work, but yeah, important thing is I have it!

Aussies: EBGames & Harvey Norman have TONS of copies of Doom III in stock. The EBGames near me (Greensborough Plaza) had somewhere around the vicinity of 15 or so boxes full of Doom III.

That would be great if only the truck that was delivering Doom 3 to my local EB store didn't crash. Now I have to wait until tomorrow for Doom 3 goodness. Not happy at all. :angry:

Unforunately I had pre-ordered from that store. Just my luck.

Bummer. Well, I'm 99% certain you can get preorders refunded from EB. Probably too late to do anything now, though. :(

I've been playing the game, in total darkness with my headphones on for a few hours now..and the game scares the crap out of me. I constantly use the flashlight to reveal the dark areas, and the game's ambience is incredibly scary. This is my new favorite game :ninja:

To all thoes who say the game isn't scary...

i find the game too repetitive, new room same monsters blah blah... graphics are good on full with 2xAA at 1024 res. i always find my self with very low ammo, having 4 head shots to kill the all the mosters, yes very wierd i know, but all the mosters die; no matter what size they are, with the same amount of bulets.. :hmm:

[Neolink]

i was just about to type exactly what he quoted :p

fun for 2 hours..then same rooms...same monsters...same objectives...even monsters jumping from the same-ish spots

dunno if i cba finishing it :crazy:

[Dominik]

yeah first 2-3 hours were great, now i'm bored of it.

anyway it's doom, it's supposed to be like this, doom 1 & 2 were about the same, what we could except?

carmack dont give a damn about how much we like the game, he gon sell the engine to 60 companies, he can afford 4 new ferraris...

[tomwarren Veteran]

I still find the game scary. Nearly finished it as well :D

[Neolink]

yeah i still find it scary, but dark games always do to me.....:blush:

i heard it gets better towards the end so im gonna go for it later on when im in the mood :D

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

Yeah you can definately run it at 1024x768 on medium with no problems .. my friend on his AMD 3200+, Ati Radeon 9500 oc'd to a 9700, ran it on ultra graphics and 1024x768 and was getting about 30ish frames a second... the only problem he was having was when entering room the game would cache and he would have to wait a few seconds .. but that's probably due to his lack of ram lol

Cooliez, thanks again for your reply (k)

Yeah, that's logical.. :rolleyes:

I love it when people pass judgement on people they don't even know.

[sanctified Veteran]

it seems I need to paste what I said in another thread:

...saying that, despite what some people are saying, Im enjoying this, I dont know what you people where expecting, ID never said something about spectacular AI or so, they promised an horror game, they delivered it, period. Maybe its something I cannot understand, but then I dont care, I am happy with it, I am enjoying, guess who wins ;)

[Dominik]

BananaMan - you quoted only that line, i also said that Doom3 is a game it was supposed to, we couldn't except anything more, carmack haven't lied, it's the horror-ish game like [sanctified] says. i like the game personally, first fps after 2 years which makes me want to play it and continue playing...

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Yeah, that's logical.. :rolleyes:

Indeed.

Carmack and ID are the daddies. They owe PC gamers nothing. They have consistently released games for GAMERS that have been scary and fun.. they have tried to remain independant for so long, they have released source code to their old titles for coders to experiment with, and they are one of the only game companies to offer Linux clients for their titles. I can't even imagine that 3D shooters & deathmatch would be anything like it is today if it wasn't for id.

Dominik - you need to STFU really, as its pretty clear you don't know WHAT you are talking about.

[Dominik]

Chicane-UK - STF... what? i only said that Carmack gonna sell the engine to 60 companies and can afford new expensive cars. So you need STFU really, i haven't said the game is bad or something.

How does quoting the rest of your post affect what you said? Whether I quote the whole paragraph or not, the context is still identical - you accused Carmack of intentionally pumping out a half-ass product (which it isn't, IMO) so that he could obtain wealth to fuel his own greed. Which is, in my opinion, a complete load of bullcrap, especially you don't even know the man or his bank balance/income (not that it's even relevant).

Point I was making is that Carmack DOES give a damn.

He probably gives more of a damn than any other game developer out there.
