Doom 3

[Psilaxs]

Well, I managed to get DOOM 3 about 4 or 5 days ahead of the release date, been playing it since last night. A Best Buy in Brookfield Wisconsin Broke the release date and started selling them on Friday or Saturday. I called up the store and asked for him to confirm that indeed they had shelved doom 3. He said yes. I asked him if he could set a copy aside for me since i would be driving from North East Indiana. (since they would all be gone by the time i got there) He hid one for me. And sure enough when i arrived, they were all gone except for the copy he hid away for me.

I drove over 5 1/2 hours one way to get this game, and it WAS WORTH IT.

but imagine how upset you would of been if the game sucked. I can understand driving that far for a girl, sex, whatever. But a game is unheard of. So the release date is Tuesday?

Run good? scary? how's the sound & music?

Guys this game is so above and beyond anything i have ever experienced it is amazing. it is truly horrific. The graphics are to the point where you get freaked out when you see something shambling towards you casting shadows all over the place. The time is gone where in games in order to scare you they would have to JUMP OUT at you. No, in DOOM 3 you get the willies when you see something approaching, anxiety sets in you you start shooting like mad because you DO NOT want that thing getting close to you.

I can post some screens if you like, the game is only on medium quality but still looks amazing (there is still the HIGH quality, and ULTRA settings which my PC cannot handle,) it runs just fine on my PC, a lot better than i thought it would, John Carmack is amazing at making his technology scale.

IRT Shawners, yes supposedly, but most likely it wont be widely available until Thursday or Friday.

try not to drool too much

[XtraNtnse]

That looks damn good on medium quality, I'm very anxious to see how it will run on my system, if it doesn't, I'll just buy a new gaming rig. God I hope my credit is still good..LOL

I added more screens, (only allows 5 attachments) I have over 30 screenshots i took, though i will not post any spoilers so dont worry

Okay, this is spookey. I go to school in muncie Indiana, but I am working in Brookfield Wisconsin for the summer, right across the street from that Best Buy. Do you *know* how freaky this is?

I mean, I made that 5 and 1/2 hour drive like 4 times this summer, so I know exactly the path you took.

And above all else, I didn't frickin' know they had stocked Doom 3! And I work across the street! If they're all gone, I'm gonna frickin' smake you. :P

yeah, that IS weird, very. One reason i was so willing to take the trip was i used to live in Franklin Wi. and i still take several trips up there yearly, so it doesnt seem like that long of a drive to me, plus i know the way. 30 west to 65 north, 65 north to 80-94, 80-94 to edens express way (if you are feeling brave, and want to see downtown chicago) or 80-94 to the Wisconsin toll. then get off on exit 327 to highway 100 :-D lol

[isamoor]

Yup that's pretty much the route. I work in a 4 story building directly across from the mall that's a couple blocks from that best buy, but I'm moving back to muncie in a couple weeks to finish college.

Now to call best buy, the bastards!

holy shit...after reading what you said about getting it 4 days early I couldnt help myself and had to check some of my favourite trackers. Sure enough....*cough*
John Carmack might be pissed if he knew.
I can actually see why p2p scares the shit out of the major conglomorates
There are no real release dates for anything...

Sure you can download it, but have fun trying to play it, it hasn't been "cracked" yet.

Game: Please insert CD 1 to play,..........................
'Pirate': Uhh i have cd 1 IN the tray, looks like people looking for a free ride are screwed until someone cracks it.

I sat at my computer and clicked a link, and then watched some movie, volume 2 or something, while it was completing, and it WAS WORTH IT.

'Pirate': Which copy protection soft does it use? Oh here we go, it's in the nfo. (clicks securom emulation on)

The releaser was actually quite generous. Along with the game, you get a keygen, the manual, and cheats.
