I spent 20 minutes punching turkeys.

Doom 3 takes the Half-Life approach to the game. You are Generic Marine Guy (not to be confused with Doomguy who is much cooler) who just got transferred to the UAC base on Mars for...reasons, I guess. You arrive with a couple UAC higher-ups who are there to talk to Mr. Obvious Bad Guy about him being an obvious bad guy. Your first assignment is to find a missing scientist (not Mr. Obvious Bad Guy) and as soon as you do, the invasion starts. From there, you get from level to level finding new weapons and uncovering more of the basic plot through PDAs you find, which act as keys as well as pre-recorded audio logs and email logs. Doom 3 has the best Hell levels of any Doom game, and it's just a shame they were all so short. Play the regular game or the BFG Edition, they're both perfectly fine. Play the regular game if you're going for more of a "horror" vibe, play the BFG Edition if action is more your jam.

Underrated and under-appreciated

I really like Doom 3; it's my favorite Doom game by a large margin. It is much more of a survival horror than its action-focused brethren. I thought taking this direction with the franchise really served its setting and style extremely well. It was legitimately terrifying for me when originally playing it, and it is one of very few things I still have nightmares about from time to time. It lives in my head all these years later. The atmosphere is moody and morbid; I love how dark the game is. And I love how it is more of an understated creeping horror kind of game punctuated with the action. The weapons are all very different and fun to use, and they each have their own strengths and drawbacks, so there is an extra layer of gameplay in switching between weapons that I feel a lot of games lack. It has what might be one of the best designed interfaces/control schemes of any game, and yes: I even like the flashlight decision of the original. So why only four stars instead of five? Well, it's realllllly close to five stars for me, but the game does rely on monster-closets a LOT, and that gets a bit old as the game progresses. It's also entirely linear and has a functional but not memorable story. The game doesn't do much beyond shooting demons in a hallway, and even though it does that thing really well, it is kind of one-note. That said I would still consider it one of the best pure shooters I've played. If you have never tried it, or have only played the BFG version, I highly recommend the original.

Good - With Exceptions

Bethesda/ID/GOG, when you get a minute, could you pretty please include vanilla installers for Doom 3 and expansion? That would be great. Pros: It's Doom 3, with it's expansion and an additional mission. Cons: - Cheapened lighting (and muzzleflashes don't emit light) - Less control over graphics settings - NO MOD SUPPORT - No multiplayer (Well there IS multiplayer, but it's hidden) - Game pauses for a few seconds when quicksaving - Disabled console - Performance issues at times Now as for the flashlight being shoulder mounted, I see this as both a good and a bad change. In vanilla Doom 3, you had to hold a flashlight to see in dark areas, but couldn't dual wield it with anything, and it created tension, but the flashlight had infinite battery, and you could whack things with it. In BFG, it's mounted on your shoulder so seeing in the dark and shooting can be done at the same time, but it has limited battery that needs to recharge after it turns off, also this removes tension in dark areas and makes the part with the guy with the lamp escorting you a joke. Here's how they should have handled the flashlight in vanilla to begin with: You get the handheld flashlight for the first 60% of the game, and can dualwield it with the pistol, and in the last 40% of the game, you get the shoulder mounted flashlight, and it doesn't need a recharge. Bam, best of both worlds. Also it would have been cool if they could have gave weapons alt fires for the BFG edition, and also changed their handling a bit. Pistol: Pistol whip or iron sight, make it fire and reload faster. Shotgun: Double shot, and better handling/pellet physics. SMG: Burst fire. Plasma: Plasma shotgun. RPG: Laser guided shots. Etc If you're fine with just Doom 3 + Expansion, and no mod support or multiplayer, than it's more or less the same Doom 3 experience, otherwise, stay away. Also if you care about Doom 1 and 2, just buy the originals and get GZDoom + Brutal Doom, much better.

Doom 3 done right

Great deal for those that appreciate Doom 3. As for the complaints, you buy here for the data files (base & d3xp folders) then run the games with far newer and updated source port game engines. The games will run significantly better on modern systems, without any change to the gameplay. Source Ports Doom 3 - dhewm3 Doom 3 BFG - RBDOOM-3-BFG Can even run on a Mac (Apple Silicon & x64) thx to Mac Source ports with the game engines notarised by Apple.

Finally! I got the original version!

Of course, the BFG Edition re-release is interesting for new players who want to dive into all the main DOOM games before the 2016 release of the game. However, DOOM 3 in this edition has lost all its charm and complexity thanks to a flashlight glued into the armor, a bunch of ammo and a general lightening of the environment. I was really looking forward to the original version! Now I am happy!
