DOOM 3

The story is interesting (well, this is the first Doom to really feature a story, PDAs, audio-logs...), for whatever reason it reminds me a bit of the Shock-series (System Shock, Bioshock). Maybe, because the people on Mars got turned into these zombie and other mutant things. Not with the help of boosters etc. but with the help of the power/demons from the "other dimension". Anyway, it is a long time (10 years), since I last played Doom 3, don't really remember the graphics that much, but I do know, that it was dark and the only light source you had was you pocket-lamp, that you could also use as a melee weapon. Now, you have you lamp on you shoulder and it is much more user-friendly, because you can use the lamp and the weapons the same time. To be honest, I didn't really like the original Doom 3 ("vanilla version" as it is called today). It was dark, didn't have much colors and the whole gameplay feel/was slow... For me, Quake 4 was better in that way. The enemies were faster in the latter game. Quake 4 was more colorfull, had open areas etc. But today, for whatever reason I like this slowness in Doom 3 BFG. I can't really tell why. Maybe, because I'm older? Anyway I won't write much about the BFG version, you can read many things about it elsewhere. Is it worth to play it? Sure. But don't have unrealistic hopes, also the original Doom 3 mods won't work whit this edition.

I was looking for a DRM Free version of the original Doom 3 that included support for XP which could then be run off the Ramdrive at lighting fast speeds. Instead this BFG edition dropped XP and Vista support as well. Doom 3 WTF Edition is what this should have been called. Was about to drop $5 on this but I'm glad I scanned the reviews as well and it doesn't sound worth it. Was the original Doom 3 protected in some way with DRM or can you just still use the original CDs and install the game to the computer and run it without an optical disc in tray check? Gog if you can include the original Doom 3 DRM Free I'll buy this Doom 3 BFG Edition but I'll probably most likely just use the original Doom 3 version only. It's a shame the BFG edition didn't include XP and Vista support.

I bought my copy of Doom 3 on 28 May and haven't been able to play it since. I went into my account, clicked on Serial Keys but I keep getting the message "Serial Keys Depleted" Today is 17 June and there's no answer. I'ts so frustrating that something so simple became so complicated. If there's no solution to this in the next days I will ask for a refund. Consider this if you want to buy the game.

This is a great game (original played), providing exciting atmospheric shooter gameplay, it immersed me in the isolation of mars base where the classical doom stuffs are happening. Unlike the previous titles from the series this is not a frenzy crush-em-all experience, but what it offers it executes in good manners. It has the enemies that jumps on you, it has the enemies that surround you and you have the bullets or chain to escape the graps of death. Also, enjoy the voice and text that will explain you, that the fear is in place (and also the interconnection of the actions that are going in the background while you're smashing your enemies.

This game is great! I recently played Doom 2016, still had the Doom itch, saw GOG's new return policy, and same-day bought this game. I played it long ago when it first came out and scared the **** out off myself playing this game in the dark with headphones in my dorm room. I was originally reticent, because it's an old game, and wasn't sure if it would work, have some missing feature that would be insanely annoying (resolution, high refresh, keybind options, etc.) BUT this version plays GREAT! I thought I would maybe play it for a little bit and put it down, but this game holds up surprisingly well. I've found myself still playing and playing, and it looks like I'll probably beat it again and finally get a chance to play the expansion after all these years. Still scares the **** out of me somewhat now too. It's not the same type of gameplay as Doom 2016, but I don't think that's a bad thing, just different. It also has some great new features that the old one didn't have like making that stupid flashlight usable while having a gun (that was so silly). I bound the flashlight key to right-mouse and so try to turn it off regularly to make the atmosphere scarier as intended. It's obviously missing SOME modern features like good subtitles, but that's the only one that's really bugged me so far. I can't believe I'm still playing it and having a great time after all these years, they did a great job.
