Doom 3 is a great game, it just takes a different approach to the same game. The idea is the same: UAC opens a portal to hell, demons break through, and you're the one man who can stop them. However, while Doom was bright, fast paced, colorful and fun, Doom 3 is dark, slow, and foreboeding. All the demons get a survival horror makeover, for better (imp) or for worse (cacodemon). It's interesting to see a different take on Doom, and I reccomend it.SirBryghtside said:Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (first playthrough). That space amoeba thing at the end of the Water Temple.
I died the first time I faced it, but the second time I obliterated it without losing a single heart. That;s how my boss fights usually go...How good is Doom 3? I beat the first and am playing through the second one now, and having fun - I own the third, but I'm not sure whether I should bother to play...Dfskelleton said:I just finished replaying Doom 3 yesterday, and therefore my last boss fight was the Cyberdemon. I guess it was a cool looking fight, but it really lacked what made the Cyberdemon so menacing in the original doom games. He used to have 4000 hit points (which is a lot, in case you didn't notice). Now you can only kill him with the soul cube, which means that you're really just killing imps until you can throw the thing at him. The worst part is that he just kinda lumbered around. He didn't do that in the old games. It used to be this constant onslaught of instant kill rockets flying directly at you, and if you were out of ammo for your energy weapons, you were pretty much fucked.
The new Cyberdemon design was cool I guess, but he really just lacks what made him my favorite enemy in the classic doom games.

Also, a little weird to point out, but Doom 3 has the best lip-synching I've ever seen in a game. I'm serious, it's uncanny how spot on it is!
