DoomIII now on the shelves

After hearing people play this, I have made a choice!

I'll pick up farcry the next day, and wait till doom's price drops.

It isn't worth 55 bucks, for great graphics and mediocre gameplay.

Far cry is a good one. I think Doom 3 graphics are better then far cry, but wasted in all that darkness. Can't wait to see what some modders do with it.

I never picked up far cry, because I was waiting for doom. But now I think would be a good time now that the price has dropped. :beer:

Jeffro Ive completed far cry, and Im now several hours into Doom 3. Doom 3 is by far the superior game. It has a better story, better atmosphere, better graphics, and it scares the crap out of you:rotflmao:

Far Cry's story is half-assed, and the gameplay is extremely repetitive. It got so boring that I actually put on god mode half way through so I could just run through and see the rest of the levels.

Been playing Doom 3 for a few hours now...not too bad. Gotta admit, not having a weapon with built in flashlight is kinda dumb, but I understand the effect they were going for w/lighting and such. Decent atmosphere and gameplay too. I have to say though: this game is nothing compared to the System Shock games. Many of the elements of Doom 3 are taken from those games, such as the personal logs you find that advance the backstory. If you want a real scary game experience, try System Shock 2 if you can find it...it went down to $15 a few years ago.

i'm not to impressed with it. its like call of duty all hipe and i buy it, play it and i'm sick of it. only thing its got going in my opinion is the graphics. i think the muliplayer is going to like cod also, i hate it. as for scaryness i like resident evil 4 better. not dissin' the game just stating opinion

This game totally kicks ass! If you are bugging about the darkness just turn the brightness up in the game.I have jumped quite a few times and I must say this is the best FPS shooter I have played. Period.

Come on now Harry. At your age you should know all about being patient.

Of course you could be fearing kicking the bucket.

My review of the game after a couple days of play.

Graphics - 10

Sound - 10

Gameplay - 7

AI - 4

Multiplayer - 5

Replay Value - Unknown, haven't finished the game.

High Points - Great graphics, creepy environment, very detailed maps

Low Points - Repetitive and scripted gameplay, Multiplayer lacking in vastness, AI is very lacking and predictable
