Doom 3

Has anyone played this game?
I just got it tonight and ive never been so fucking scared of a video game in my life. This game is purely fucking awesome. The graphics are great things jump out at you from the darkness. im just starting the game and am horrified to play on. i was hopeing to play for a couple hours so i got my soundcard set to 5.1 Dolby Digital, threw on my 6 speaker headphones, tuned up the graphics card, turned out the lights and began playing. then the horror starts and i died. i continued from my save point and played for another 20 minutes and got too scared and quit, im gonna ease into this one by starting out in the light so i can not be so scared then by the time its dark ill be more used to it.
I highly recommend those who havent played this yet to try it out. you will be freaked the fuck out.

Scary: Check
Redundant: Check
Waste of $50: Check

The game is a ton of eye candy and the AI is pretty good. I like the fact that it brings back the single player puzzles that the original Doom and Quake series had. Other than that, once you get beyond the first few missions it's just the same shit over and over... Dark hallways with monsters jumping out at you.

Yeah my computer has a 256MB radeon card and i was having a little problem with choppyness, but i just tweaked the drivers a little and it works a little better. but the game is a mamouth. the reason my friend borrowed it to me is because his machine which is a dell, couldnt handle it. so he goes out and buys a AGP graphics card and a 512MB of ram and calls me over to install everything and i open the cover of his pc, what do we find, theres not a single agp slot. so hes gonna get a new case and motherboard and im gonna rebuild his system.
Hell the game is 2.5 GB and for the ultra high graphics i think you needs something like 500 mb of FREE ram.
i need some more damn ram. grrr.

Stop typing, please. I beg everyone to stop reading your crap. Learn more about how applications use system resources before you start displaying your idiocy. Specifically learn about how games RAM on the motherboard, disk cache and video memory on the video card.

OK Lets see you prove me wrong being that your soooo quick to put me down everytime i state a fact.
On Doom 3 the games size is 2.2 Gigs. and the MINIMUM requirements are a 64 MB Graphics card. The Recommended (From Gamespot bench test) for the Ultra High Graphics Setting is a Graphics card with 256-512mb of DDR Memory, and at least 512 mb of ram, they benched marked the computers in regards to how much ran they had and it started to level out at 1gb. the biggest change was from 256 to 512 which was an increase in frames per second of 40%.

So matt do a little research before you put me down asshole.

They are Headphones that i got from my old work. They have the front (main) speakers, the rear speakers and one actual subwoofer in each head phone, its pretty sweet, they vibrate your ears. It comes with all the cords to hook up to a home reciever, computer, cd player etc. it even has its own powered amplifier. LOL i love them.
