Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil

[retroborg]

So is Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil any good?
Is it a long game? How many levels?

I loved Doom3.

[XA04]

i got it before it was released in the UK . i havn't actually bothered to play it yet though, i tested it for like a few minutes - action straight at the start .

i read on another forum its not very long though.. but aparently its much better than just doom 3.

[0iD]

I installed it, but no more

As soon as I can wean myself off Silent Hunter III I'll give it a whirl.

My house m8 has got it, and I was watching him play it last night, its bloody awesome!! Added weapons taken from Doom 1 and 2, a version of the gravity gun and this thing that slows time down which is one of the coolest things ive seen in a game ever!!!! Kinda like bullet time

Sadly my computer doesn't run Doom3 that well so I wont be getting it just yet

[CrapshoT]

I'm not likely to find out if it's good or not.I was a little disapointed after I paid £25 for Doom 3 and appart form the excellent graphics the game was a bit cack really so I'm not even going to bother paying another £25 just for a add on.

My PC manages Doom 3 quite well, going to be getting this in the next few weeks hopefully, looks pretty good alround

[buzz_lips]

I know you can get this cheaper online but £29.99 for an add on is a joke!!!

Is it really any different from Doom 3 itself?

[directhex]

i agree, that sounds excessive

ring me when the linux binaries have been released

[Ferral]

Play are selling the expansion for £17.99 :

Only dumb thing in Doom3 is the way you run across the Martian surface without wearing a helmet! What do you refuel with those oxygen tanks by the way when you're not wearing a helmet?

Besides, in the old 2002 sneak videos of Doom3 the player wears a helmet like the rest of the space marines & like in Doom1.
Bu they changed that in the final Doom3. They could have at least added a cut scene where he puts the helmet on before he opens the air lock.

I thought that was weird.

Is it the same in ROE?

[0iD]

Well I started playing it myself last night, but only got an hour in. Looks a little more polished than D3 & it's still as smooth. At the end of the day, it's Doom. Monsters leap out on you & you try & kill them before they kill you. Doom has never really made pretentions about being anything else.
FPS's are my first love & I unashamedly enjoyed Doom3. Hell, I even enjoyed Unreal II & to a certain extent Red Faction II. So flame me.

[retroborg]

Unreal II did have some cool moments:
The alive alien planet, the alien dig site with the acid rain, the mechacical alien planet with the cool lens flares & the doomed space ship heading towards the star while the female computer is trying to warn everybody & (aka Alien series)

But the game was a great disapointment compared to Unreal1.

Was Red Faction 1 & 2 any good?
Did it have any alien martian civilisation like doom3? Or do you just fight corporal marines?

[directhex]

red faction 1 was surprisingly good fun.

RF2 annoyed me intensely

[0iD]

RF2 was human combatants mainly with the odd zombie. Wha was frustrating was being able to blow some walls & not others.

In UII the placing of gun turrets & baricades for defence was a nice touch. Bu how short was that game!

HL2 even was disapointing & at points monotanous & repetetive. No game is ever perfect for everyone eh.

[retroborg]

Well these were perfect for me:

Doom1

Heretic

Hexen 1

Hexen II - Portal of Praeus Expansion Pack (Awesome Final Boss Fight with Buddha Demon. Only Boss fight in a FPS that ends up destroying most of the level)

Unreal 1


The missing helmet in Doom3 was something ID overlooked.
I guess that guy must have some pretty strong lungs, being able hold his breath outside the Mars surface for so long!

[retroborg]

What there are Zombies in RF aswell? In RF1, RF2 or in both?

Any Alien Artifacts?

The defense Levels in Unreal II sucked by the way.
