Doom 3 for Xbox is underrated

[ken_cinder]

Nusumenai what genre doesn't have standardized controls? Games wouldn't sell very well to the average gamer if every game had drastically different controls.

 

If you're under the impression that YOUR favourite games are any different, then you're sorely mistaken and really need to take a second look at them. EVERY genre has a standard, and every game within it. The only thing that sets one apart from another, is subtle differences. Get over it........

I honestly don't think it's possible to underrate Doom 3, considering it's inherent shittyness. Honestly one of the worst games I've ever played.

I'd have to disgree, but then again, these are just all opinions.

 

Doom 3 suffered because it was hyped to death. It wasn't as awesome as people hoped it would be, but it certainly wasn't crappy.

Okay, I should have articulated myself better.

 

I only wanted to use the controls as an example on how most FPS could broken down, and be the exact same thing.

 

What I mean by "different" is:

 

Take Battle Field 2 for example. Controls are basicly the same as any FPS. Yet, the game does not play like other FPS.

 

Compare that to a game like Counter Strike Source. Both share almost identical controls, but they play completely different. In CSS you could be a one man army. Bust out the Awp & Deagle (for those wacky headshots) and you could easily take down a team of 10 if you were good enough. Lets call CSS, your standard FPS.

 

Take BF2 for example now. Judging purely on controls and movement, the game is pretty much the same. However, toss gameplay into the mix and now we see how the game is truely different. Your place is a lot more iinsignificant in this game. You need to rely more on others support in order to be able to play well. Dynamics are completely different.

 

I just wanted to say (originaly) that all these games play the same and I would love to see something play completely different...

 

For example, a game dedicated to being realistic. You get shot in the leg, you start to limp and walk slower. They shoot one of your eyes, you lost part of you vision... Just something different... Anything!

Yeah, it certainly wasn't crappy.

It was decent with some fun scary things tossed in.

That just made me think "LOL HACKER FAG."

 

Also, you can one many army in BF2 very easily, just have to know what your doing, and you alone can take out a whole spawn point.

[Nusumenai]

Hehe, well you can take a point by yourself, but hold it? One person VS 34 people, driving in tanks, aircrafts and spamming nades and rockets in your direction? I don't think so.

Lol server I play on, there are a few players who we refer to as "Instant stackers." =X

It all depends on how good your commander is and how well he can shoot em art supports.

 

Being assault really helps at those times because of access to the nade launcher. But yeah, from personal experience, it is possible to take maybe 2 points at best if your really good with spec ops.

I prefer fast paced crazy shootem ups like Quake, Serious Sam, etc. the most, But sometimes games like FEAR can be REALLY fun.

 

The PC versions are always better, But sometimes they add something cool to the Console versions. Plus i dont have to worry about my computer being able to handle it or not

 

BTW my list of currently wanted games are....

 

Painkiller - Xbox

Farcry - Xbox

Doom 3 EXP - Xbox

Burnout Revenge - Xbox

We Love Katamari - PS2

Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks - Xbox

Ninja Gaiden Black - Xbox

Serious Sam 2 Xbox

 

I havent looked into the new PS2 games yet, so im still working on that, also that list excludes PC titles due to the topic nature

[Ryuken]

i was playing this a few days ago at a local game store and when i moved the view it stutter but i think i was playing with xlink or something like that but otherwise the game looks fine

[Shibathedog]

yeah alot of people say doom 3 for xbox has FPS problems, i havent seen ANY besides when i lag while playing online, which isnt really an FPS problem (damn bittorent)
