Thread 12159645

This would have been better received if it was called System Shock 3. It plays very much like a dumbed down System Shock 2 (which isn't a bad thing).

>>12159645 (OP)
The game about demons from Hell, invading Mars? Would be better called a System Shock game?

>>12159708
Would it matter? All you'd need is Shodan and maybe a few RPG systems and it'd be SS3.

>>12159645 (OP)
No, it plays quite literally like Quake 2, unless you want to argue that System Shock 2 is a game about strafejumping into a melee range to blast the demons with a shotgun.

>>12159645 (OP)
No, it's perfectly fine as a Doom game.

>>12159645 (OP)
>This would have been better received
It was received pretty well

Why are zoomies so butthurt over Doom 3 being a good game?
They don't seem to have any issue calling vid related a proper "DOOM" game.

>>12159912
Let's be real here. It was the 2000s era millennials who hated on Doom 3. The proto redditors.

>>12159645 (OP)
I get what you're saying. Maybe they should have marketed it as a clear spinoff like that Doom RPG game on mobile.

Calling it Doom 3 was always gonna be a tall order to follow through on (except Doom 2 which is just an expansion pack with a 2 slapped on it)

>>12159645 (OP)
Did you mean to post Dead Space 1 or something

>>12159912
It's not zoomers, retard. It's the purist boomers mad that it's not the same thing as Doom 1 and 2. Also Dark Ages had really bad reception regardless so your argument is even more bad faith, dumbass troll.

>>12160024
Doom 3 copied SS2 before Dead Space did it.

>all you'd need is a different story and a different gameplay system and it would be a different game
Your thread is full autismo and not the entertaining type of autismo.

>>12160026
>It's not zoomers
I'm a boomer and I love Doom3, so do all of my friends.
Every time I see someone shit on it, it's always zoomie who never played it and parrots some youtuber opinion.

>>12159645 (OP)
It has none of the trappings of a System Shock game, shut the fuck up.

>>12160032
>>all you'd need is a different story

Shodan brings demons from hell. Not a huge leap

>>12160087
when people relentlessly shat on doom 3 when zoomers were just zygotes did you just close your eyes and pretend it wasnt happening?

>>12160094
It was well recieved on release

>>12160096
thats a yes

>>12159645 (OP)
Literally nothing in common.
I think it's fairly obvious it wanted to be Half Life.

>>12160024
Great point, Dead Space is basically System Shock 4.

Doom 3, HL2, Halo, other 00s fps slop, etc will never be good or accepted here no matter how you shill them, zoomers.

>>12160268
Even FEAR?

>>12160272
Yes

>>12160268
Why is HL1 fine but the rest of these aren't? All of them were extremely influenced by HL1. 2000s shooters in general could be dubbed "Half Life likes".

>>12160268
And your dumb ass will never be the one that sets the tone for what people are allowed to like.

>>12160468
Half Life 1 doesn't have all the annoying story breaks of those later games.

>>12159645 (OP)
>This would have been better received
Zoomers are the most retarded fucking generation, desperate to claim anything that isn't from their generation.

It WAS well-received on release you gay fuck.

>>12160624
>It WAS well-received on release you gay fuck.
There was def a pushback on it.

>>12160649
Afterwards. Not this bizarre zoomer perception that it was hated on release.

>>12160649
>There was def a pushback on it.
Only on online forums populated by faggots. IRL everyone was blown away.

>>12160614
Yes it does, they're just shorter

>>12159645 (OP)

Nah, it feels closer to Dead Space so Dead Space -1 (since Dead Space Extraction was a prequel thing) would leave bigger impact.

>>12160010
It wasn't really hate either. It was more disappointment that the game didn't do anything very revolutionary for the time, as opposed to Doom and Quake.
We were expecting another revolution and that's not what Doom 3 was.
There are also a lot of issues with it, especially the reliance on obscuring enemies with darkness which gets tired pretty fast, but the expectations were too great and so all the issues with the game were overblown.

>>12162405
Shorter is better.

>>12162545
Sounds like the exact reason Valve will never make Half Life 3.
