bloodhound Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 anyone here played far cry yet? heard its amazing
-Demosthenes- Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I heard it was way good, but that was a while ago.
atinymonkey Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Haha yeah. Ok I will try to get some of those videos then. Doom3 lacks the storyline but the atmosphere is great and it does keep you on the end of your seat don't you agree? Honestly, the atmosphere in HL2 is just completly different. It's not a good comparison because it's horror genre against action genre. But if you get one of the movies, HL2 looks stunning. The graphics in HL2 only look a bit average if you see them in screenshots, in the movies you can see that everything (furniture to building walls and cars) can be blown up, moved, distorted or picked up to use as a weapon. It has tripods that are massive enemys (taller than the buildings), cars you can drive and huge levels. It just looks like a great game.
Treadstone Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 the funny thing about doom 3 is that its SO F**KING DARK you can't appreciate all the nice graphics, plus the game play is damn near the same as doom 1 Nathan
5614 Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Let's see..... 1)Halo 2 has better graphics 2)Halo 2 has better gameplay 3)Halo 2 has better storylines 4)In short: HALO 2 RULES!!! Encrypted is a good summary about both games the funny thing about doom 3 is that its SO F**KING DARK you can't appreciate all the nice graphics' date=' plus the game play is damn near the same as doom 1 [/quote']is a good summary of doom3 i say, here's a description of doom3, you go into a room, the lights go out, you shoot blindly, sometimes get some damage to you done, kill the bad guy, turn on your light, and walk into the next room, and it all happens again! whereas halo 2 is a wicked game, which does not repeat itself, and is a wicked game, with variation, visible graphics, there is skill involved, not purely blind shooting, which we see in doom3 overall, halo 2 is better!
Severian Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Doom 3 gets a bit predictable after a while (about 10 minutes in fact). (I am currently in the biological specimen section of delta labs)
Fellowes Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I am in the same place except the next part of the Delta Labs. The darkness in Doom3 is a good feature though. You have to admiut that whilke the game is dark it adds tension and excitement of not know ing wtf is going to happen next. I will admit its storyline is lacking but c'mon. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Play it! you'll see. Except for you closed minded people out there. While I am a big Doom fan I will still admit that Halo2 and HL2 are going to be great games no doubt about it just try to see the pros of every game not just the cons or just what you want to see because you wlike something else better. Know what I'm saying?
Severian Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Well into hell now.... but I really need some sleep.... It is a bit of a relief that you lose your torch in hell, so they can't make it too dark.
Fellowes Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 In Doom3 how the balls do you get past the teleporting crap!?!? It's pissing me off!!
5614 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 ever heard of a walkthrough, try getting one [it tells you how to complete a game, step by step guide!] doesnt the darkness in doom3 get well annoying after a while?
bloodhound Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 walkthroughs are for impatient people. the whole point of the game is to figure out how to do something, and get enjoy that wonderful feeling.
Fellowes Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 I know what a walkthrough is but I just thought I would ask since bloohound is alreay past there. Plus I have already looked for a walkthrough and none of them are completed yet.
paganinio Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 seen many Half-Life 2 vs Doom 3, never seen Halo 2 vs Doom 3 before~~~
LuTze Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 physics engine and graphics are absolutely amazing, as is the AI.Yep. I've been playing the CounterStrike:Source beta the last week or so. It's based on the new HL2 engine and the physics system is cool. Player models behave properly, instead of being static animations. Throw a grenade and players will fly through the air like rag dolls. Just about everything in the scenery can be moved and used to your advantage. You can move barrels about and hide behind them, for example. Word is Half Life 2 will start pre-loading through Steam in the next week or so. It'll be available soon after.
c dawg Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 the darkness of doom 3 is the whole point. it may piss you off but if the lights were on the whole time it wouldn't be scary, and it would be much easier. doom3 isn't just blind shooting. thats what makes it hard. you take yur flash light out and see where the bad guys are then you shoot the shit out of them. if teh lights were on like in halo 2 it would be too simple. And in doom 3 if you just walked into a room and started shooting you would easily run out of bullets and would never be able to beat the game. you always have to look for bullets and health and armour. thats what makes it hard. if you just shoot like crazy you'll never beat the game.
5614 Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 you know, i read that post and matched you with another friend i have, i dont know how he ever completes a game, but he does! you can always shoot crazy, i mean, i completed hitman 2 by shooting everyone i saw, and thats a stealth game, trust, i've never seen, played or heard of a game where it is impossible to shoot and win, and i've played doom3, its run shoot run
Fellowes Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 The old Doom games were run-and-gun but Doom3 is a bit more than that. Even so I will agree that Doom3 is lacking a storyline but it has come a long ways from the originals. Even with the storyline lacking there is still a lot to it.
5614 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 indeed there is a lot to it, and indeed it has come along way from the original, but to b honest, it is nowhere near as good as halo2 and never will be
Fellowes Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 The games will both have their pros and cons......We'll see what PC gamer says....
c dawg Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 you guys shouldn't be saying how much better the storyline and game play is of halo 2 when it's not out yet. it could shit the bed.
Sayonara Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Is this circular non-comparison going to go on for much longer?
