About Doom 3

A massive demonic invasion has overwhelmed the Union Aerospace Corporation's (UAC) Mars Research Facility, leaving only chaos and horror in its wake. As one of only a few survivors, you must fight your way to hell and back against a horde of evil monsters. The path is dark and dangerous, but you'll have an array of weapons--including a pistol, a chainsaw, grenades, and more--to use for protection.

Played this with my roommate taking turns holding the flashlight duty while the other shot, worked way better than doing it alone

    My brother did the same flashlight trick with me back when it came out, honestly it made the whole thing scarier because neither of us wanted to be the one holding the gun

  2. Alaina_61

    Scary corridors, sure, but also the eternal flashlight-or-shotgun dilemma that nobody asked for, still I can't deny it got under my skin more than once

    Para mí siempre estuvo sobrevalorado en comparación con lo que se hablaba de él en su época, y encima jugarlo con amigos mirando por turnos no arreglaba el problema de que dabas más vueltas buscando pilas que disparando, la tensión se perdía rápido entre risas

    fair pont, tbh

  4. Neon_Buisson

    Sérieusement, un 365e rang pour un jeu qui a autant marqué l'horreur en FPS, ça ne vous choque pas un peu ? Face à des trucs comme Battlefront II ou CS:GO je comprends qu'il perde en popularité, mais l'écart me paraît énorme.

    j'ai testé la maniabilité au pad récemment, ça a pris un coup de vieux clairement, mais l'ambiance sonore tient encore bien

    La flashlight debate again haha, for me it was less about tension and more about my ROOMMATE screaming every time something jumped out, good times honestly

    LootLegend682

    tampoco es que sea top, pero la atmosfera si aguanta bien

    Replying to barton_alaina

    J'ai relancé ça y'a deux mois avec un pote et franchement le comparer à CS:GO c'est absurde, c'est pas le même jeu, pas le même rythme, pas la même intention du tout.

    barton_alaina

    Comparing it to CS:GO feels off honestly, one's about tension and atmosphere, the other's pure competitive reflex, different worlds.

    Je vote toujours pour lui par principe, même si je sais que je ne suis pas objectif là-dessus... mais franchement il mérite mieux que cette place
