It looks like Doom 3 if was done as fast-paced shooter instead of an ambushing shooter/horror/thriller. Not worth $59 + DLC BS, maybe $29 at best. I rather stick with Brutal Doom until prices come down. I will give Doom 4 a spin.

It ran gloriously in the multiplayer beta, so I'm not sure what changed. There's been some fuss about the game using OpenGL 4.3 on AMD and 4.5 on NVIDIA, but the Fury cards are killing it (performance-wise) and still using 4.3, so I don't think it's that.
I'd really like to hear from Id or AMD about the performance issue, but the GAME itself is great. I really feel like they took the classic Doom game and updated it for modern sensibilities without changing too much. If you took me from the late 90s and showed me this game, I definitely would have recognized it as Doom. Plus, the visuals and the music are amazing. I MIGHT like it even better than Rage! O(≧∇≦)O

It's nothing like Call of Duty! There are no ironsights, there's no reloading, there's no stamina gauge or regenerating health. The weapons have alt-fires, for chrissakes!
And it's nothing like Dead Space either, in that it's very fast-paced, not third-person, and there are no horror elements (beyond grossout stuff). You dunno what you're talking about.

Krogoth wrote:The gamplay is nothing like the original Dooms expect IP content. It is just another uninspired shooter that tries to play the nostalgic card on old fans but it is actually catered towards younger COD-BF4 types (regenerating/easy health, tons of ammo, trigger-fingering/spray and pray, forced action sequences etc.)
Zenimax and Bethesda is just cashing out on the IP. The entire thing is a repeat of Serious Sam: BFE. The MP mode is a joke is completely overshadowed by today's competition.

Meadows wrote:I don't think the original oldschool Doom had any sort of lasting appeal other than how much better it looked and how much smoother it played than its contemporary titles. I had played the game, but never obsessed over it. Hell I didn't even like the music everyone's raving about. To me it was more of a 3D puzzle game (due to the elaborate level designs) with monsters in closets.
