No shit, that was just the intro.

What is it with games and absurdly long intros, anyways?

It's kinda funny in contrast, though. Doom 1 there's a zombie like 10 seconds in.
Doom 3, which is a remake, places the same zombie a half-hour in.

Maybe I should quality that, then. 20 minutes after gaining proper control after the intro. I just didn't experience any enjoyment out of it whatsoever. Nothing to hook me in to play further. I enjoyed Bioshock much more.

Wow, some of you people have no soul. :(

Bioshock? Yeah, except that came out 3 and a half years later. At its time, Doom 3 was a gigantic step forward in immersion and presentation. So much in fact, that, if anyone played it when it came out and seriously claims that it was a bad game, I can't help but question the integrity of their opinion.

There were a LOT of people that claimed it was a bad game.

Immersion and presentation is all well and good, but it takes a back seat to playability.

Same thing happened to me with Crysis!

What a horrible and boring game!

Far Cry over again!

What exactly did doom 3 bring to the table that was such a giant step forward?

I think, given your posts, everyone would question the integrity of your opinion

Very plastic-like player models.

Probably nothing exciting, but after playing it (never finished it).. it was pretty great. I don't think it meant to bring something radically new, but after Doom 2 being in hiatus for a while, it's actually pretty refreshing.

I liked what i've seen of Doom 3 (I haven't been able to play it to the very end), but I still think that they created a very artificial dificulty with the damn lamp. Other than that, it's a good game... GOOD, not awesome, but good.

Graphically, i find the models don't look as plastic as they do on screenshots. The whole graphic engine is great, and Quake 4 is a proof of that.

The beginning of the game is not bad. Unfortunately, not much changes through the course of the game - you still fight imp-likes and zombies as if they were a novelty, get a bunch of "surprise" ambushes behind doors, watch a futuristic military bunker/laboratory, deal with bridges and platforms puzzles, and get to hear a stupid voice laughing at you all the time. I know I said this a few posts before, but I still see many people have failed to acknowledge these things i find annoying.

I heard the RoE expansion kind of addressed some of that, but I don't thing I will bother.

On that matter, anyone here played Doom64? I found it to be reasonably good, despite the lack of some monsters.

doom3 did not immerse or present better than HL.

now gears of war, that's a game right there. great graphics, excellent implementation of the third person view, and a complete blast on co-op.

but i think i've got to give it to CoD4. fantastic, AND a great story that's well told.
