This game is very cool and different enough in every way to be in it's own realm. Very puzzle rich maybe to a point of being frustrating, but still good level design. The Gog version works good and looks like includes an editor now but personally that is not important for this type of game. The depth and atmo and interactivity is well beyond Duke3d or anything up to maybe quake.
No idea why this is so buggy and have so many performance problems but it is barely playable on my "high end for time of release" PC. And reams my work computer which is modern with 3d acceleration till I just turn it off to save it. This is the main quest/campagin, the addons are markedly worse very disappointing. I know the Steam version says you get doom 3 and bfg version which may work better. Also the BFG changes a number of things that kill any horror element not GOGs fault but hate these changes. I am livid that I could just get the garbage PS3 or XB360 version and it work right and be more playable!
This game was and may still be very controversial, basically all the hype and conjecture is lies. What it is, is very simple its a FPS shooter with choices, as was common at the time most are based on scripted sequences. This game is very fun and very not family friendly as should be obvious. It comes with the first 2 expansions the weekend and the multiplayer which looks to be broken. From a technical standpoint this game works amazingly for being so old and looks ok.
So thinking this was "that great Star Trek FPS" which the reviews below say it is I bought it. Gog did well it works pretty decent on modern computers, but OMFG this is not good. Level design is painfully tedious and exploits wandering around console to console. The stealth is completely broken and probably meant as a trap anyway. And the story is terrible but probably on par with an episode I guess. Not sure why people cannot do reviews based on fact and be unbiased but this one is. I have played hundreds of shooters over half FPS this ranks barely above the ones with vietnam in the title. Final conclusion this is a totally average shooter nothing more and if you don't love scifi you wont play it long.
Yeah so back in the day I played about half never beat it forget why, I am a huge old school ID fan and this is basically the last game that you can call that. I got it on steam for better networking and it seems to have less technical problems than I see listed here too. The game is a fabulous and challenging FPS as it should be multiplayer is decent and still servers. Single player is very short like COD short eff so yeah play it on the highest difficulty you can because a game this short only fun for about 8-10 hours. Windows 8.1 10 users turn mouse precision off and you will get rid of the weird mouse lag.
Ok so I bought this game by rec a long time ago and it barely worked clearly not compatible with any modern hardware. I have since played it on 3 computers some with pretty serious gaming hardware and now it won't even launch. Seems like would have been a decent game if I could play it but this is broken. I'm really getting tired of this I buy games supposedly patched to modern OS and they are garbage. Here and on Steam this happens and there is nobody to get support with.
I always forget this was a pc game back in the day just all the Nintendo fanatics made more noise about this than anyone about pc. The updated version is not bad and runs good with limited hardware, most important has none of the console drawbacks. I really like the insane exploration adventure layout and fighting dinos and other weird monsters! And on sale its a good buy at 5 bucks dunno how many euros that is could care less. If you havent played or seen played you should this is a weird unique game play style. Thanks gog and "dark dive" I love old games and this works good enough for me.
Wow so long since I had played this game, truly awesome innovative game play! First off this is a challenging fun game with few crutches and helps ingame. Story is soso voice acting at times good some forced. The game is a bit buggy will crash and only runs 640x480 which may cause problems. Unlike hand holding blizzard titles this title will force you to think a big plus to me. Also a rare feature you will be multiclassing so pick what you need at the present and build for future.
This is one of if not the best most open ended rpgs ever. Do not compare to later elds they are little more than action games with level up that give you perks no real development. I will not buy from here as I already have an old copy goty and it runs bad on modern pcs. I did play this back in the 32bit days and it ran so smooth never looked great but was good enough. The immersion and ability to actually do nearly anything you want makes its story line top notch. This is one of the first games I cut my teeth making mods you could do so much more. The biggest problem was always stability even running vanilla you had to save often. The difficulty level was pretty high many veteran rpgers had hours of trouble and learning.
Yep back when games were actually about being fun, original and having great soundtracks. Graphics were not even that good for the time but were technically sound. Sound was good eerie and atmospheric and track was NIN nuff said. This is the last game to follow the no need for realism just give me an ax a shotgun and something spooky to kill games. Now its all about some idiot talking, bad attempts at story and shinier BS! If you have not played this you "ARE NOT" an FPS gamer. Go back to WOW, GTA2000 or ASSHEAD Creed before a shambler turns you to gibs!
