borrowed it from a friend..... i was skeptical of everyone that said it was creepy (i had the sounds up and lights off lol... cuz that's just hwo doom has to be played) but i must say, i am thoroughly creeped out by it....
for anyone whos played it i'm still working my way back to HQ after the inital attack...
i havent played doom since i was a kid goin to my moms job on saturdays, ill have to pick it up
it's definately worth it, but it does have some, moderately steep requierments (if you got a good gaming pc you'll be fine, but i remember when itcame out like three years ago and peopl ehad to basicly rebuild their computer from ground up just to play it.... and that was just at the medium detail level.... i'm running core 2 duo, 2 gigs ram, radeon x1950 pro extreme (256GB) and can run it at full perfectly)
damn im screwed there, hopefully santa will pick me up a new computer for christmas :rolleyes:
too bad =/ it's definately a game for those who want to be creeped out... not just doom fans.... the actual minimum requirements are:
windows 2000
pentium IV @ 1.5 GHz or AMD Athalon XP1500
384 MB ram
2.2 GB for install (more for saves, but prolly less than 1 mb lol)
8x CD ROM drive
video card and sound card that supports direct x 9.0b (minimum video cards: ATI radeon 8500/NVida 3TI series)
not that steep by today's standards.... like isaid, back when it came out people had to rebuild their computers....
yeah i have it for xbox, pretty fun game, it gets pretty hard near the end though, so i looked up the god mode cheat for the last third of the game
oh then i should be alright..still want to upgrade though :D
i liked the online co op on xbox live
but the game was pretty sweet kinda scary but thats the way i like games and movies its a shame they fucked up the resident evil movies so bad (IMO)
ugh! I LOVE doom!!!!! I was just talking about this in another thread. I have all of them for my computer. From the classic ones with the downloadable wads to the brand new one that came out 2 years ago. Its my fave game EVER.
There's also an expansion for Doom 3 slip, so don't forget to grab that and play it after you beat the first game, it continues on with the events that occurred in the regular Doom 3, it's not as long but just as fun.
I have it for Xbox so I never had to worry about specs. From what I remember reading they also made a few modifications to the Xbox version which made a number of people prefer it over the PC version.
Sadly there's a number of people that don't like it because it's "standard FPS" formula. But then upon asking a lot of those that I encounter with that opinion I come to find out that they didn't cater to the games atmosphere. They'd played during the day or with the lights on, they didn't use surround sound, they had other people around...
I try to tell them this game is more about atmosphere, the gameplay is straightforward and nothing new, but it's very solid you just have to get into the games mood. You have to play in the dark and alone and if you have surround sound all the better. You know you've set yourself up correctly when you find yourself scared to walk into the pitch black room up ahead or around the corner...
Not much has came out since that compares to it. Prey tried to emulate it but it just didn't have the same flair, it's a fun game but nothing special. In fact the only FPS since that I've played that is just as creepy is Bioshock. Well there is Condemned but it's a FPMelee game moreso than a FPShooter, quite creepy though.
omg! i'm so tired of being scared to open doors! lmfao!
anyways, melkane you got that right... the atmosphere is absolutely perfect... it couldn't have possibly been better.... when i heard 'this game is scary' i never really thought about the atmosphere....
