Well, I was expecting a much better storyline then the one given.  I think the creators found excuses to create motives for fighting.  You don’t know what’s going on, except that your are being attacked by aliens.  But why are they attacking?  What are their motives? 

The creators have been thinking this game up for a while now.  I guess the beginning of the game, the storyline is okay, but towards the end of the game, you forget the reason you’re fighting and go back to “give me the gun, i’ll shoot the monster” routine.

I’m still waiting for a revolutionary game that changes the way you play the game.  In a way, this is a revolutionary game, but only graphics wise.

I’m not sure how far into the game I am but I think the story is pretty cool so far.

Just out of curiosity, what were you expecting, Sal? I haven’t gotten far in the story myself so I don’t really have an opinion on it, but at least it has one this time. The previous two failed to hold my attention mainly because of the dearth of anything story-like about them. I didn’t go into this one expecting anything major in the way of story and was surprised by how much there is (at least so far) so I’m curious to hear what your expectations were.

Gotta admit, Doom 3 has excellent graphics and environment.  But gotta agree with Ben, the storyline is terrible. 

This is far from what I expected because everyone was waiting for this game for so long, I even reserved it to make sure I get it on the first day.

To sum it all up, Doom 3 is basically Doom 2 with better graphics and sound.  I don’t recommend buying it, unless you’re a snobby rich guy that likes to spend their money on everything!  jk

Ooooooh … pretttttttyyyyy …

If I follow my usual pattern, I probably won’t pick this up for at least a year, but it does give me something to look forward to.

I plan to write something about Doom 3 again soon as well, as soon as some more reviews are in, and most probably at a time I find nothing else to write about.

I dind’t play the game myself (yet). I find myself not that much drawn towards it though – after all, it’s just another FPS game, with maybe some more shock effects (which is good) and a denser gameplay (which is good as well). But I have a built-in anti-mainstream filter, somehow, that strongly draws me away from the game…

I have to admit that Doom 3’s graphical presentation is without a doubt superb in it’s design, but the gameplay sucks major ass, though.

After 10 hours of playing then beating the game, I found myself disappointed with Doom 3 all together. And I won’t be playing it again the near future.

Now I’m waiting for Half Life 2 more than ever. I hope it’s much better than Doom 3 when it’s released this September, hopefully.

Well, now one would only need to know which graphics card to buy. I’m thinking about a Radeon (supposed to be best for Half-Life 2, much better than Nvidia stuff). But then, STALKER is optimized for Nvidia. What to do, what to buy?

Have you heard of S.T.A.L.K.E.R – Shadow of Chernobyl? It has awesome graphics, a fascinating storyline (I recently read the book which inspired it) and some cool gameplay, apparently. RPG meets FPS shooter.

BTW: Nice to know the CD arrived. ‘God Shuffled His Feet’ must have been one of my first CDs. Maybe even the first…
