As a gamer for many years I have grown to love various genres of games. As we all know there is no game that covers everything in regards to gameplay.(interaction,realism etc) As I got older (I'm 39 years young) I have grown to appreciate games that execute well. What is Doom 3??? Doom 3 is an old school FPS that plays great that has limited interaction with the enviroment by DESIGN.
As I have been reading the posts here some folks are critisizing the game beacuse of the lack of interaction or realism.(flash light issue etc).
Realism FPS games.
Rainbow 6
Operation Flashpoint
Swat....(ANd many others) If I want realism I will buy these games and I do own a few of them. Ae they fun? Hell yes!!!!Because I expect these games to deiliver a realistic experience by design.After playing this type of game for a while I wanted something else. I wanted to be Rambo type guy and kick some major @ss without worring how much I can hold ,how fast I can run, no worries about inventory etc.(D3)
Limited tactical gaming.
Farcry
I enjoyed this game big time but the game had serious issues.
1) Acting was reeeeeal bad!!!! The AI ws easy to figure out.Shoot one guy the others look at him a I take out the rest. The graphics were great as long as you were outdoors. Sounds fare I enjoyed the experience.
I need a basic FPS experience. HMMMMMM Shall I buy DOOM 3?? Hell yes!!!
Basic FPS
Doom 3. I am a huge Doom fan. I loved those games becuase they delivered a simple yet very entertaining gaming experience. Everybody on the planet knows (who are gamers) that ID software has a certian game design style. Doom 3 keeps to the roots of the FPS genre. Simply,moody and a blast to play. Doom is not Halflife or Farcry it is DOOM!!!!
I'm sure Half Life 2 will be a great game I loved the first one. No doubt I will buy HL2 the day its released just like I did with D3.I like both games for what they are. Simple.
Doom 3 gets a 9.8 out of 10 in my book. (there is not such thing as a perfect game 10)
I just an old guy who loves games for what they are.Doom 3 delivered in my book.
