There you have it. August 3rd, people!

Woot!

Finally! So many long years of waiting for this gem is finally being paid off. I think I'll go out and preorder my copy tomorrow. This is just going to be too big of a hit to miss. Looks like it's time for some good, old-fashioned demon slaying action. Except, this time, the demons are more than 2d sprites running around in DOS. :P

Pricing on Doom 3 is a bit odd though. $55... Most games are either $50 or $40 these days (and I really have never seen a $55 PC game... even back in the $60 age).

Well I got into gaming via doom 1..so I bought doom 3..

IMHO, people shouldn't pirate this game..but that wont ever happen. If you like doom, you'll like this. Play it at night, no background stuff to keep you occupied, closed off area and you will be lying if you dont jump in your seat etc.

The flashlight adds suspense. If your playing no cheats etc, it adds alot to the atmosphere and when those Imps get in your face you get really scared and alot of adrenaline pumps when you want the weapon to come up. You just have to be smart to know when to use the flashlight versus your hearing.

The game has exceeded my expectations. I thought it would kind of be just a run and gun, but I am freaked out. There is a voice that tells you in one part of the game it goes..

"Over here, Follow me..." You head down a corridor, then your vision goes red and the voice says.. "They've taken my baby..."

That's wrong to me..
But hey I am a sucker for scary things..it's just a matter if you get scared or like the thrill. Some parts are really dull and just kind of like..damn i'm shootin these zombies etc and then the 90% of the other time it's more like "Holy sh** two of those things just came through the vents..where'd they go?"

If you aren't playing it like it's meant to be played(night time, dark all by yourself), you aren't experiencing it.

This is my opinions...I can be just assuming and can be wrong.


As always :) :ph34r: :blink:
