For all the darkness, they could have atleast had some more lighting (atleast flickering lights) in the game. All I am hearing is that it is way too dark. I still remember Doom & Doom 2 were scary without being dark.

The only complaint is that I may skip this game eventually as dark games tend to screw eyesight real bad.

I have a 19inch LCD monitor and a 19inch CRT.

CRT I can see no problem. I am noticing that it is very hard to see even on bright via the LCD monitors. This is the case with 3 friends of mine as well on there LCD.

Yeah; the light level in the game is REALLY annoying at times. There have been numerous occasions where I can't even see a ****ing monster *at all* if I'm not using a flashlight.

I spent a long time on this game (got up to 6000 playing slow)... :blink:

how the hell would you shoot with a shotgun in one hand?

think before you post...

Ever heard of a headlight? But, with the small gun its possible, I don't see why u can't. Also, I find it stupid like most games where u can have a pistol, shotgun, chainsaw and etc etc all on your back or whatever, it makes no sense. It's really impossible. Then again, its just a game and its not meant to be real like it wud be in real life. Bah. :p

Btw, you don't have to be so darn pig headed. I noticed there's a few of you on neowin like that. Have a bit of respect for ppl b4 you type. :rolleyes:

Have a quick question...

I changed my config file a bit to enable the player shadow but now I have a Hit % showing up on the middle right hand side. Any idea how to get rid of that?

Thanks.

seta g_showProjectilePct "0"

well, the darkness whas the point, I dont know what do you expected :rolleyes:

there's a glitch in graphic. in one place, when you shall take the lader, it shows up like a black shield over them, but you can freely pass through them.

I didnt play the Alpha so I had no idea, most of the screens I saw had *decent* lighting. So like I said I am not sure how dark it is, just reading here and there people complaining its too dark, like this one:

Its an honest opinion and I am a bit concerned. :ermm:

have to save before that, and find out for us!!

you know what I miss... The guys face in the bottom of the screen. I liked his grin when he picked up shotguns and stuff like that, and how it got bloody when your health went down... They need a mod for Doom 3 now that just adds the guys face to the bottom of the screen.

Yeah, that would've rocked :D

Do you all see a difference between playing it in the day time and playing at night?

anyone played with seta r_brightness "2" ? Wonder if it will brighten the game?

[djesteban]

damn man.... I'm really disapointed....

3 years in the making and you've got a game that's too dark (even if darknest ist the point in here like sanctified said), textures that are not at all amazing (the quality doesn't seem to be there, and i'm playing ultra with anti-aliasing), gameplay that's very very repetitive (always that bhoooo i'm out of the corner thing) AND for a high end games... how can they not put ANY vehicules to drive!?!??!

Some texture mappings in there are just baaaad!.... and the fact that the game is 95% indoor makes me :angry: I can even say that's a cheap shoot! I though I was going to take a lil ride on Mars at least...

Ohhh... and the weapons are :x (except the plasma gun I just like the freakin out there laser sound..tiwouuuu tiwouuuu)

I like the ragdoll effects on character though... they really seems to have a weight when they crumble!

ONE THING ID SHOULD HAVE KEPT FROM THE ALPHA!!! : in the alpha, when you shooted the zombies, they never really died... that was spooky has hell... they felt, then they wake up if you didn't get the hell out of there... that was an amazing idea IMHO!!! the final realy misses that

I give it an overall of 4.5/10 (my personal opinion... plz for god sake don't flame)

finished the game at veteran level in two days, so it's hard, but it's not that hell of a hard game... it's very "standard"

and FOR the GRAPHICS! people! check the texture mapping carefully! it's not that good at all...even some textures looks damn pixelated

well... my hopes are in HL2 and STALKERS now.... not sure right now but I might sell my copy of D3 on ebay.... or give it to my little cousin :p not sure yet

... and thinking I gave myself all that trouble to get it before the release date (got a friend working at best buy... lala!) make me want to cry

anyone have any opinions yet about the final result and all???
