Careful. Saying that you enjoy Doom3 on this forum is likely to be met with a response not entirely unlike that which would be received by a fully gussied-up gay pride carnival queen who's just minced flamboyantly through the swing doors of an Old West rinky-dink piano cowboy saloon. 

you mean, an orgy? 

heh they wont find me without a flashlight :) 

a fully gussied-up gay pride carnival queen who's just minced flamboyantly through the swing doors of an Old West rinky-dink piano cowboy saloon who saunteringly pulls his brassiere up Mae West style while snarling, 'come and get it boys.'

Yeah, I could go full gay disco with the leather cap, leopard print muscle shirts, tight jeans and 'stache look, if it wasn't for the dick on dick action; the same reason I avoid porn with Double Penetration scenes in them. You know, at some point in the sloppy sex or when the girl between them wants to prove she can handle two dicks in her mouth they are bound to touch and the universe should explode but chillingly enough, it never does. 

who's implying cowboys are gay? 

But in case you have never heard it:

Lone Ranger and Tonto was traveling through some low country, when the Lone Ranger has to stop for a piss. He finds a cactus to piss beside and in so doing doesn't see the diamond back rattle snake he pisses on. The snake strikes and bites the Lone Ranger on his pecker.

Lone Ranger is half paralyzed from the poison, so he yells in pain for Tonto to go into the nearest town and find the doctor there to come back and aid him. Tonto precedes to do so, and finds the doctor's office, and chances upon the doctor who is unfortunately for the Lone Ranger in the middle of delivering a baby.

The doctor tells Tonto that he has to go back to the Lone Ranger and suck the venom out of the wound in order to save his friend. Tonto goes back to the place he left the Lone Ranger and sees his friend who is fast fading away.

Lone Ranger asks him, "where is the doctor."

"The doctor couldn't come, he is delivering a baby."

"Well, what did the doctor say?"

Tonto looks sternly in his friend's eyes, gives him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder,
and he tells the Lone Ranger, "The doctor says
you are going to die."

So, though the vast majority of cowboys are gay, like John Wayne whose extreme cornholing activities prevented him from even walking like a straight man, a few like Tonto were clearly straight. Oh, wait, Tonto was an indigenous American (Indian for short), so not a cowboy. So, correct that. All cowboys were gay. 

I like Doom3

The graphics were awesome. Also the gameplay was, er....., tense.

It was annoying having only the ability to run when pressing shift and then only for a limited period of time. Which made battles a bit more annoying. But nonetheless - it was immersive, and I liked it. But then I wanted to like it, so I did. 

definitely got lazy here gameplay wise, this is the area I take it pissed off most people? 

the monster closets were annoying from the very beginning, but the set up of the maps was so interestingly done that
I still found it worth playing. By the Delta Labs section, my eyes were pretty much glazed over and I wanted to get it over with. I had more fun the second time through when I was hauling ass almost the entire time. 

I bought the PC version today. It took about an hour to install. I'm impressed with that.

When one hosts a LAN game, how does one simply spawn on the map so one can check out controls / feel / mouse-sensitivity etc before diving into the full game??? 

thats a pretty impressive level, I love it! Cyberdemon looks cool too although I havent worked out how to kill him yet. Should have left him as the original though, weapons and killing wise. 

game you play inside a web page's favicon:

that's a nice idea 

that's not the Cyberdemon.

Been chugging through all the E3 videos at lunch.

On Fallout 3 - is it just me or have Bethesda's character animators made no progress in quality since Oblivion? Animation was the one area that looked shite in Oblivion. I'm surprised they haven't addressed that. 

 

but flawed in execution

I noticed it too, its pretty awful and sticks out like a sore thumb.

They really need to sort that shit out! :) 

really? cool, looking forward to it then. 

For sure. I've been saying Bethesda need to sort their bloody animation team out since Morrowind. With the sort of budgets they must be getting now they've got absolutely no excuse to be so behind everyone else. 

Played a little bit. Don't like it at all. Control system feels awful, particularly the way the mouse works for zooming. Makes the whole cover system very cumbersome.

Is it worth trying to persist to get used to how bad it feels for later on in the game?? 

If you aren't enjoying it now, you might as well stop. It isn't like the cover system suddenly changes halfway through the game or something. 

Obvioulsy you are:

...the way the mouse works for zooming

Well I liked the cover system, but I played on my 360, it worked pretty well with the control pad config. Also split screen co-op was cool! 

Maybe I'll try it again in a few days / weeks.

It's more of the switch from 3PS feel normally to FPS feel when aiming (which have a totally different feel for mouse up/down), combined with the awkward cover thing that is the problem. 

Your one of the few people I've ever encountered who would call the cover system awkward. People generally find it to be quite fluid and easy to get the hang of. Well, everyone is different I guess...
