doom 3 - official

[MechDeus]

I'm waiting until my new video card arrives (again) to finish the game because I don't want to sully the last areas with a less-then-perfect framerate. The huge demon guardian of the Soulcube was an awesome-looking battle but there was a big framerate drop for it, and I know the last battle will be even more intensive. I think I'll wait just to savor it.

Until then I (finally) grabbed a copy of Planescape: Torment. Time to see if what everyone says about it holds up.

Is there a co op mode mod yet? and how do you install mods?

Supposedly, but I couldn't get it to work.

and how do you install mods?

Make a directory with some descriptive name in the install directory and place the mod files inside it. When you load Doom III go to the mod directory and you can select whichever one you want.

Doom 3 and HalfLife 2 own my conciousness.

Just wait for them to be out on GameCube. It'll happen eventually.

Links have been posted in this thread for those and none of them have been for Fileplanet.

Plus, they're bound to be available via Filemirrors.

In case anyone hasn't gotten this yet, and is going to this week, Target has it on sale for 45.88.

Finally got my hands on this, so here are some impressions! (I just know you've been dying for this):

1) The intro isn't like Half Life! It's more like Blue Shift (tee hee). Yeah, it uses the "normal day at work until things go to shit" cliché, but it does a great job of it.

2) Wow, this game is gorgeous to look at. One of the most beautiful, detailed, and immersive games ever. The PDA and the point and click computer screens are an awesome touch (and I guarantee every new FPS out there will have it).

3) This game plays and feels nothing like Half Life. Just because an FPS has a story in it doesn't mean it has to be compared to HL. Seriously, it's more Resident Evil than anything... there's even a crazy guy in control of the facility and everything.

4) The only thing I DIDN'T like is that the weapons feel like Unreal weapons. Yeah, my shotgun is practically disintegrating that zombie, but it doesn't FEEL that way, damnit. Also, too many shadows, and switching from flashlight to gun is a pain.

But yeah, I'm pretty surprised with how good the game is so far. All the detail put into each and every room is amazing.
