Buck531 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Yeah, I know it's been out for a while. I just figured I'd pick it up last night at Best Buy cause I had a gift card. Holy fucking mother of shit this game is scary. Especially if you have a huge monitor and surround sound. There were a few times I thought I was going to piss myself. Anyways. Just wanted to share. I only played about 2 hours of it last night. Trying to get used to the controls and movement (a little different than HL-2). Too bad it's sooo damn dark in the game. However, I think it makes the game that much scarier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 yeah, pretty freaky when your screen turns red and you hear screaming and when you try to move your mouse you have delayed actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crankshaft Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 <font color ="midnightblue"> You'll get used to it fast. Then it's boring. Sad, but true. The awesome graphics are the only thing that kept me going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar1647545494 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 That's the whole point, the darkness is scary as hell. If you like it go ahead and pick up the expansion. Just as fun. Try playing it at night, or in a very dark room, by yourself, surround sound cranked up... you'll come near to pissing yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandm Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I had it for one day then sent it back. Graphics are very impressive, but I just don't like how dark it was. I was playing it on a 51" HDTV with Dolby Digital. Probably the best use of 5.1 Digital in a video game EVER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that... old, fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli1647545497 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 It happens near the beginning - and its not even an attack or nothing - just an halucination. Made me jump. So Doom 3 is out on consoles? How boring is that? "Pardon me while I... t u u u u r n . a r o u n d . t o . s h o o t . y o u... *bang bang*".

tandm Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well I must have gotten bored very quickly then. I think I stopped playing after that captain or whoever was talking to me on the satellite link. Also, I didn't think it was that slow. I actually prefer consoles to computer games.:shrugs shoulders: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Ricochet rented it for xbox and I watched him play some of it, including the ending. Graphics are great, I didn't play so I can't offer an opinion of gameplay. If you figure out what to do at the end quickly, it's pretty weak, otherwise I'm sure that it would be VERY frustrating. I'll just say that Brian killed the final demon in about three minutes and still had plenty of ammo left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
