DOOM 3

Old Doom had a groundbreaking concept advantage over the new Doom games(2016,Eternal) , you could actually shoot your fing gun if you wanted to, as you got a shitton of ammo.
But jokes aside i still appreciate the good old, Come at me bro approach way more then this gimmicky BS that is glorykills and 1000000 useless pickups.

Doom 3 is a pretty weird game for me. As someone who loves Doom 1 and 2, as well as 2016, 3 is definitely a divisive game within the Doom franchise. Now, don't get me wrong, I actually had fun with Doom 3 and think that it has a lot good things about it that make it a unique and interesting instalment in the series.

The game takes a more horror approach than the first two games, which sure, 1 and 2 also had some elements of horror, like the PS1 version of Doom with it's more darker, ambient tracks, but Doom 3 goes all the way with the horror. The atmosphere and sound design in this game are top notch and perfectly captures the feeling of being trapped on a space facility overrun by demons from hell. Speaking of Hell, the Hell level in this game is probably my favourite in the series, with some of the coolest designs I've seen from Doom and the way you traverse the level makes it top tier for me.
While I do miss the rocking tracks from 1 and 2, I understand that none of them would fit with the game's tone and what it's going for, plus, the main theme of the game is a heavy metal track, so I guess it does fill that void.

The game play is fun too. Shooting down hordes of demons that can pop up at any moment and fighting off Z-SEC Zombies is surprising fun and the gun play is solid... for the most part. I say that all because one weapon that for some reason in this game, is absolutely awful to use and feels so clunky that I tried to avoid using it as much as possible: The shotgun. You're probably thinking "How can the shotgun in a Doom game suck? The shotgun is the best part of any Doom game!", well let me try to explain what I mean. The shotgun feels so clunky and unsatisfying to use. It feels like half the time, most of your shots don't land even though you put the thing right into a demons face. I ended up not using it half the time because all the other weapons in the game don't have this issue. Maybe I'm just bad and I'm using it wrong? I don't know, but I still don't like it.

Also, there's few other things that bothered me, such as the lack of subtitle option which I find really strange, as well as the unskippable cut scenes which I can only imagine would make repeated playthroughs a pain. There's also the fact that the game feels more like Half Life at times than it does Doom, I mean, the structure is almost the same, with you arriving at a base and talking to NPCs, then everything goes to hell and monsters from another dimension wreck hovac and you have to fight your way through all them, with you eventually having to travel to said dimension to kill the final boss. There's even healing stations that work almost the same as in Half Life. I'm not saying that any of this is bad, if you're going to take inspiration from any game, Half Life is a good choice, it's just that as someone who loves the Half Life games, it's pretty noticeable at points.

Overall, Doom 3 is a worthwhile game that I think any Doom fan should give a chance to. While it maybe different and alienating to some, it's a fun game and a unique take on the Doom franchise that is worth a playthrough. Just don't use the shotgun.

I've been playing doom since I was a 4 years old (born 2003) and I've always cherished all the doom games!! It took me forever to really appreciate doom 3 as a game. Even know some of the models *cough* the cacodemon *cough* don't look great I still really appreciate the whole horror aspect doom 3 went for. I really wish the new doom games could've done something like this.

A bit weird at first after playing the classic DOOM games, but really fun once I got used to it.

the scariest part of the game isn't doom 3, it's the bugs, 2/10

Pretty basic first person shooter game, if you are playing the first version of DOOM. Only big set back with the first version their is no way to aim down or up to engage. You have to just aim and shoot and hopefully the computer will decide.

This game is pretty SCARY. I really wish Id software took this horror approach in their future games, because they've cooked a nice game. It's an average FPS with a pretty good sound design, as it makes the player feel tense and scared every time they go from one room to another. Also, the atmospheric horror is pretty good, for a game that came out in the 2000s. The imps that throw fireball at you sometimes lunge at you to give a jumpscare, which is scary at first but after a while it gets boring.

The only nitpick I have are the weapons, as they don't feel accurate when dealing damage. The shotgun for example sometimes takes 5-6 slugs to kill a possessed marine, whereas in other times, it takes 2 slugs to delete the cacodemon. I think it would've been great if the devs worked more on the guns, but yeah the game's super atmospheric and if you want to have a good horror experience, definitely check this game out.

HOLY SHITTT, i play doom 2016 and eternal, i must say i like this game more than the modern ones because of the ambience and the terror vibe,the mobs model is really scary, much like terror movie, 11/10 game, only thing i dont like if i dont know if is the old grafics is like the buildings and areas they like almost recycle each other, other than that great game to finish. hope dark ages be great. deserve a remaster or remake.

If you get this, play the original versions and do the tweaks. BFG Edition ruins so many aspects of the game, gives more ammo and health, it is brighter, flashlight on the armour instead of holding it. kills so many horror aspects of the game that made it good. Apart from that BFG Edition removes areas of the map throughout the campaign for seemingly no reason. Tweaking the originals is not hard and you will enjoy it WAY more.

This is a fun as hell horror shooter that is brimming with cool ideas and little tricks that make it feel fresh and innovative, even a couple of decades on.

its a good game for sure but id say its more a horror game based in the doom universe rather than a full on doom game still worth playing though i really enjoyed it

Buy it. Play it. Forget about it. And download the Doom 3 Enhanced Edition mod for Doom 3(2004).
5/10

Nostaljik hisler uyandıran eski bir oyun, eskiden güzeldi ama artık çok çağ dışı. Oyun kültürünü genişletmek isteyenler için tavsiye ederim.

Doom 3 deserves a top 10 spot for best horror games of all time.

Doom has some of the best lore ever written.

Doom 3 perfectly captures the lore & the delivery will show you why it's so good.

Welcome to Hell.

Still a great game. Very fun. Especially after playing System Shock Remake, and System Shock 2

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

A full 5 out of 5 Stars ★ for DOOM 3

I played this in 2004 on the original Xbox when it released. So playing this on PC is pure Nostalgia. This used to be one of the scariest games to play & also the hardest back then. Action horror was the stuff of that time and the Doom guy remained popular despite Master Chief from Halo eclipsing him. Now with Doom Dark Ages launching at May, and Halo along with Master Chief almost gone extinct, the Doom guy truly is the Ultimate Survivor of Time.

The story is good as well even though this game is just about kicking ass of all the Demons.

Have fun! Cheers!

Doom 3 is boring as hell, not a good horror game, not a good first person shooter. Really dislike the flow of it. Got about half way through when I realized: "You know what? I'm not having fun, I'm not interested in beating it, I'll just quit."

And that's that.

yeah its good its good its great its amazing its nice its worth it

I played this and Doom II before any of the other versions. So when I play other versions like Doom Eternal, they feel like brain dead COD that prioritize repetitive skills and mechanics over immersive environments. This version is the best.

Not really doom vibes with the rest of the series but a fun time if you want something slower and on the horror side. Play any version with the flashlight attachment instead of original flashlight is a weapon slot

underrated and overhated. do yourself a favor and don't use the flashlight - the shadows and lighting in this game are amazing, even 2 decades later

Doom as Horror Game?

HELL YEAH!

8/10

Works absolute fine on modern hardware/ resolution

I know im many years too late to say this but why the hell did they make Doom horror?? Gunplay isnt fun either.

i beat this game already on my playstation, but i dont care because this game is awesome. i dont understand what all the hate is for

In spite of it's jank, Doom 3 is probably my favorite in the franchise. It's just sucha good balance of horror and classic doom action. As well, the nightmare difficulty, while different than in other games, Is a fun, well developed challenge.

As a man who is interested in the Doom games... this one is a different beast to the others.

A slower, darker (literally, I can't fucking see anything) beast, which relies very heavily on its atmosphere and setting. Unfortunately, it looks like deepfried asscheeks, as the game is old 3D.

Having beaten it, I would recommend giving it a miss, if you like the other games. It plays differently, and frankly, it plays worse. I never want to reload a gun in Doom again.

Not horrendous, I don't feel scammed. But Doom 2016 mogs this game catastrophically.

Finally got round to this game. Originally purchased it on disc when it first come out. I can't believe that I overlooked this. and did not like it. I loved playing through this game and would recommend it to anybody. The graphics still hold up and there's nothing wrong with an old Classic game. That's not open world.

This came as a suprise but i enjoyed myself playing this. while it isnt realy a good doom game it is a good horror type shoter hame in the same vane as half life or dead space. over all as a doom game it gets a 3/10 but as a half life like it gets a 7/10

Doom in any form is always fun, but 3 has its reputation for a reason its def not the best game to claim the doom name in fact i'd say its the worst. but its not a bad game just a bad Doom

awesome game definitely worth getting. Especially if ur on a budget and can't afford doom 2016

This is a great game honestly, I have played DOOM 3 campaign multiple times, and recently just did RoE and The Lost Mission. as great as these games are and they deserve more positive recognition, my only few complaint on the game is one that many have already stated, the armor sucks, they need to fix the damage protection that armor gives to make it more important to you, losing more health over like 2-3 armor points is ridiculous. The shotgun also REALLY needs a fix, these issues have already been mentioned and I do not know why ID/Bethesda have not just done what the community have asked for and fix it already. that or at least let us go into the games files and coding and let us fix it ourselves. or...allow DOOM 3: BFG edition to have mods that also fix the problems they refuse to fix

extremely bland game both visually and gameplay wise
definitely the worst game in the series
the game does not even feel like a doom game it feels more like a dead space game if anything

Surprisingly, it still holds up really well considering it's such an old game, and while it plays much differently than other DOOM games, it's still good.

Might have been nice 20 years ago. Having played Doom 2016 and Eternal, I crushed the game on my first run, Veteran under 6H with all collectibles.

Get it on sale for ol' times sake.

After all these years, DOOM 3 is still one of my favorite FPS games. id Tech 4 is a fantastic engine. DOOM 3 and Pray are true hallmarks of that era.

It's been around for 20 years now. Some people hated it at the time, it was a mixed bag for me too. I'm a sucker for Science Fiction looking stuff with fancy dynamic lighting, so I always loved the visuals. But the game wasn't quite what people wanted at the time. It's totally different from the old Dooms and it wasn't the successor to Quake 3 I wanted at the time. But that is all long past and I can enjoy it for what it is today.

To me it's not really scary, even though it definitely looks scary, since they give you way too much ammo and there is loads of health lying around too. I finished it on nightmare where your life drops to 25 all the time, but you also get the soul cube. If you know where to go this actually almost makes it easier for some encounters. The guns sound kinda meh though and the shotgun is legendary for killing in one shot then taking 3 shots for the next Imp, but I can overlook this kind of stuff nowadays. Anyways I had a lot of fun replaying it after 10 years of abstinence.

BUT: the game looks INCREDIBLE for its age on my OLED screen. Finally the dark shadows really shine as the always should have. I really want a modern game with this style of shadows now.

Inconsistent damages and monotone palette colors and level design, loved the horror vibes tho.
This game at launch looked beyond reality, now the graphics can't support the mediocre gameplay anymore, also the guns and enemies are boring as hell.
I'd say Prey 2007, with the same engine, today is a better game to replay.

All levels completed on Veteran (Ultra Violence).
Although this game is not really a Doom game, what it is is a pretty good horror shooter. The story was pretty meh, the gameplay was fun.
Biggest issues:
-The shotguns suck, heresy
-The BFG sucks, heresy
-The levels all blended together with little to no variety in environment, and when you finally end up in hell towards the end of the game, you are there for 1 level. Less than half an hour.
-The game was honestly too easy, never a shortage of ammo, health or armour.

7/10

Love it or hate it, this is one of the best Doom games out there, better even than eternal.
Game still holds up and is a great horror sci-fi adventure. Recommend

They need to include or port the VR for this game ffs

Doom does not miss, even with this being quite different than previous offerings. Loved this game in high school, still love just about everything Doom today.

i enjoy playing this version over the OG mainly because having a resolution on today's monitors is just not possible with the game on PC. We need the old Bethesda back, we miss the passion you guys put into these games!

I have a real soft spot for this game as I was first introduced to the original Doom games through the collectors edition of Doom 3 on the OG xbox. I still own my copy on the original xbox and I even play it every once in awhile. It was a treat to finally play through the BFG edition, even though some of the changes they made I wasn't a big fan of, it's still Doom 3 at it's heart, and I love it for that.

Vastly different from other games in the series but a fun experience in its own right. Definitely includes some frustrating late-game sections, but BFG edition is quite a bit more forgiving with ammo drops and the flashlight system (for better or worse). RoE is a neat but very shallow expansion.

BFG edition is easier than regular doom 3. especially final boss of resurrection of evil which is bundled with it. No need to collect oxygen cylinders in the undergound poison water section of resurrection. Steam achievements. Higher resolution graphics than the original which couldn't even manage 1080p without console commands. You can now use the torch and a weapon at the same time which previously made the dark sections much harder.

game is annoying, combat is boring, it tries to do horror but fails miserably, probably one of the worst dooms

One minute, everything is quiet, the next, you have 2 demons spawning right behind you, three in front of you, one spawning ON you, all in a small room while you are scattering to listen to audio logs to open a locker with just enough ammo and health to survive...GREAT GAME!

A scary atmospheric game that pits a marine against the forces of hell. The attention to detail and the sound effects are excellent. Log in to the PDAs for a story rich background. If you liked Dead Space, you will enjoy playing this earlier game.

This game is not just the worst Doom, it is a really bad game as well.

This game is too slow, too dark and too boring nearly all the way through.
