klingon 10 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Anyone else really looking forward to Doom 3. Not long now. I remember the first time I played the original, wow. Have high hopes. That and Halo 2 later in the year. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I also have good memories about it. I hear this Doom 3 is basically a remake of the original. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I still play Ultimate Doom, often with H11. I operate the moving keys and H11 fires the weapons. He gets annoyed when I shout "Ferchrissakes, shoot! SHOOT!" and "Damn, stop shooting at nothing!" But a boy needs to learn good fire control. At bathtime, H11 does a good impression of a revenant smacking somebody about, and that ghastly creature that revives everything that you just killed at great cost. Doom 3 looks insane, and reviews suggest that it is very intense and requires more tactical skill to play than earlier versions. From the look of the screenshots, the 23 hours or so needed to complete the game will truly be a richly life-affirming time. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Doom 3 is looking good. but to look good will mean me having to upgrade my video card....wonder if I can convince the missus?? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 When they say "it takes 23 hours to complete the game" - is that for an "expert" who can run through it straight away? I'm sure it mustnt applicable to me who would probably take 23 months to complete it. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 yeah Im guessing its an estimate for the hard core gamers who play these types of games constantly, not for the casual game player. so whats everyones video card here? I have a plain ol Geforce 3....way too slow for top of the line 3d games now . maybe I can "accidently" do something to it that will convince the missus to let me buy a new one hehehehe Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 rach, that's 23 hours for somebody who makes lavishly informative websites about Doom, so you can assume that they're pretty good. Apparently that's on the middle difficulty setting. I reckon it would take me a week or more. Have you played Doom? I love it when you can get the beasties to fight each other. Those snarling pink muthers look great from the side chewing away at one of the big red flying faces. Grrrrr! GRRRRrrr! Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Got it ordered, can't wait. Looks SWEET. With you on the graphics card maoriboy - thinking its time for an upgrade. What would you get, if the cash weren't a problem? In fact, started a new thread for vid cards: http://www.skijapanguide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003190 Link to post Share on other sites
jstepp 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Definately a good looking game! Splinter Cell PT for XBOX is quite a game, if you like sneaking around in the shadows with nightvision, sniping etc etc, then I suggest it. Didn't like this sort of game before but this one is so lifelike it got me hooked! Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 That looks good. I don't think my machine would be able to cope though..... I'm tempted to get a new pc before the end of the year Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 BUild your own!!! thats what I did and it isnt so difficult at all. even for a beginner like me. Think of it as a really expensive lego set. just plug in the parts and cables, hook up the power and there you go. The best thing is its much cheaper than an off-the-shelf Dell or other brand computer. if ya need advice gimme a yell Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Im looking forward to HALO 2!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure if we asked H11 for his side of this story it would be along the lines of " well I would shoot at something if you learned to control the doom man and point in the direction of the monsters, you silly old git!"

veronica 2 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Question. Do many of you gamers actually finish games right to the end?? Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Yes, mostly. Unless it is really bad. Some actually have a decent story line to them. And there is always the joy of beating the end boss/last level. Good sense of acheivement. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 if the storyline is good then yes...usually. I have a heap of unfinished games sitting on my hd and I tell myself that I will finish them one day Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Interesting. What do you do when part of a game is way too difficult to get past - and even using some walkthrough guide doesn't help much? Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 ehhh!!!! I refuse to use walkthroughs and cheats. they destroy any value or sense of achievement I get when/if I can finish. I usually leave games incomplete not because of the difficulty of it but rather becoming bored or finding something more interesting to do (such as a new game) Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 But what do you do if something is too difficult or you can't work it out - after 100 trys...? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 kamo, H11 doesn*t need to be asked for his side - he offers it freely, and it*s as harsh as you say. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I usually play most games 1st on "Normal" setting and I havent had any problems in completing any game on normal. Then I go through it again on "Difficult" if I liked the game. Cheating is not an option for me. Why waste soo much money in buying a game if you're just gonna cheat your way through?

IceEiji 0 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 When is this for Japanese version released. I don't get firm idea. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well the one with the nihongo pamphlet is out 15th Aug apparently. Not sure about a nihongo ban. Do you need that though? Just shoot! Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hey anyone, when you get this (and your PC upgrade ) - please report! Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Its on order itll be on its way soon. I doubt you need much Japanese in a game like this though. Link to post Share on other sites
