This is the Doom 3 you know and love, but with unneeded gameplay tweaks and texture changes. What really soured things for be though was that Windows XP and EAX compatibility has been axed in this edition, making the BFG edition completely useless on retro systems with hardware accelerated sound.
Should GOG ever release the original version I'll chuck this abomination aside and never touch the BFG edition again. Until then I am SOL until I find my old optical disk version, which I would actually rather be searching for in the attic than spend my time playing this downgraded version.
I like all Doom games, except for this one. I bought it to complete my selection and I wanted to finally play it. What can I say: There are much better sci-fi horror games out there (System Shock, Dead Space, Alien Isolation Soma). And there are also much better Shooters (too many to name). I played D3 for 6 hours and I was so bored. The combat is very clunky with reloading all the time, slow movement. I would not want to play this game without the flashlight. I mean yeah, nice light effects, but since when is shooting into darkness fun? Maybe I did not get it. The sound is horrendous. I did not even understand what the people were telling me through the radio. The never ending samey corridors were the final straw - I gave up. I never made it out of delta labs. - it's a pitty.
Doom 3 is one of my favorites, I play it at least once a year.
Something that shocked me was when I first got internet and heard that this and Quake 4 were considered bad games. I couldn't believe it, the common complaint is that its more of a horror game than an fps and its too slow, and it is true Doom 3 is a slower paced more atmospheric fps, there will be no rocket jumping or tearing and ripping in this game but you will probably enjoy this if you like tense horror, but feel you need a minigun to reassure you.
Now this is the bfg edition which claims to be the definitive collectors edition as it includes Doom 1 and 2 and 3 and expansions and several official bonus levels in one package. But what i didn't like was that doom 3 has the duct tape mod implemented permanently, what this does is allow you to have both a gun and a flashlight whereas in the original you had to choose. This feels like they changed it just because of the aforementioned doofusus who complained it isnt just doom2 with new levels. So id say rather grab the vanilla doom3 (the expansion isnt that great anyway) unless you are a massive wus
Confucius used to say: "In Dark Souls you know you're screwed if you got stuck in a room with demons. In Doom demons know they're screwed if they got stuck in a room with you." This is what games like Doom, Duke Nukem, Serious Sam etc should be about. SHOULD BE. Because Doom 3 is not.
The GOG release of Doom 3 is fantastic, including both versions of the game without DRM.
Doom 3, itself, is a very silly game. The devil is constantly pulling practical jokes on you and making himself giggle. These frequently involve turning off the lights after you enter a room, but can be as silly as (literally) making a skeleton jiggle as you walk towards it (after which Satan chuckles to himself). In cutscenes, imps perform stealth takedowns of space marines a la Metal Gear Solid. Everyone is a dude on Mars, except a random female who lasts less than 10 seconds. There are hundreds of pointless emails to read on PDAs. Then, I die from falling damage, after jumping about 1 meter because I am too impatient for the lift to go down. The player character is not "Doom Guy," but is instead Bella Lugosi from the silent film era. The entire game is comic relief, but then, for comic relief, there's a farting zombie.
The game itself has a reputation of being underrated and misunderstood. I disagree. Doom 3, at the time of its release, was overrated. It is even more overrated today, now that everyone thinks it's some kind of underappreciated masterpiece. It is reasonably enjoyable if you turn off your brain and sprint through it. I think this is how it is supposed to be played - every 5 seconds, the guy on your radio tells you to "hurry up, marine! Pick up the pace!" If you're reading the emails or trying to explore, you're doing it wrong; the emails are stupid, and there's nothing to see. Just run straight ahead and let Satan play his practical jokes on you. A couple of mods make it better than it was twenty years ago.
