"What if hell itself is eternal..." Hugo: Write that down...WRITE THAT DOWN"

It's really cool that ID basically came out and said that DOOM ³ is in an alternative reality. It's also cool to see the soul cube as an Easter egg in Eternal

One thing a lot of people forget is how much computing power this game demanded, and therefore wasn't even playable for a lot of people--imagine getting frame drops when it's just dark all the time. It wasn't solely HL2 that made people think this game is bad.

Admittedly, DOOM 3 is a guilty pleasure of mine and I'll stay on this hill until the day I DIE

I was 13 when this game came out and ngl, I found it very scary back then. So I guess it failing as a horror is probably a side effect of the game being dated. At the time though, these were pretty much the best visuals in a game I had ever seen, which probably contributed to the scary factor.

Doom3 was scary as fuck when it came out. Playing on full surround sound headphones on a beefy machine at 2am -- I cracked a molar in fear when that tentacle arm guy came running at me. Fucking Doom3 was legit scary.

They should have used roman numerals for doom 64 *CHANGE MY MIND*

"and it looks like hes in a full rubber body suit." dear god, Im having doom annihilation flashbacks.

34:13 That's Swann, that dude who originally had the bodyguard, and who told us not to call for help

"And my enjoyment of the game really only peaked about halfway through my 5th recording session when I went to hell."

While I haven't played Doom 3: BFG, the general consensus is that it's confused. They changed things to make it feel like the older Doom games with much higher stamina, an independent flashlight, and more ammo. However, Doom 3 was built around a survival horror principle which meant that encounters were designed under the impression that players wouldn't have tons of ammo at any given occasion. As a result, Doom 3: BFG is understood to be too easy and still not enough like a Doom game to be considered better than vanilla Doom 3.

I played doom when I was like 8 and it scared me shitless. Halls of the Damned still gives me the creeps to this day because it is ingrained as scary in my brain. Then Doom 3 came and oh boi it was so impressive, it was that fear again. To me it always was a horror/action game. Doom 3 will always have a special place in my heart.

I will defend Doom 3 until the day I die. That game was awesome

Stumbled upon this channel while looking for Doom 3 and this is exactly what I was looking for. Great job!

"My Deus Ex review in... 2021" Well, where is it. Edit: it is here

Fyi, at the time of release, besides physics, Doom 3 engine was superior to Source. One that comes to mind is the lighting and shadowing is real time in D3 while in HL2 is baked into the level. Also, why are you playing with Compressed textures

Not only that but "Betruger" also translates to Betrayer or Deceiver in German.

This was the first Doom game I ever played and I thoroughly enjoy playing it over and over. The beginning still gets my blood pumping, the radio chatter and the ambient sounds of terror and lighting.

The sentiment that you don't feel like a badass one-man army but a bystander witnessing a story that has nothing to do with you perfectly sums up the Doom 3 experience.

Always remember getting excited about the "Duck Tape mod", which attached your flashlight to all guns, also centering it. Just a relief to actually be able to see what you were doing. Also bought a pair of Vuzix VR220 VR goggles to play it in VR, but was arse as you couldn't look up or down.

At 0:14 I was vacuuming and I thought someone was in my house yelling at me. I almost shit my pants

9:47 We still use PDAs in real life: they’re called ipads. The main difference is that an ipad PDA is less chunky than older models, much like how before the 90s and early 2000s, cellphones used to be huge. Doomguy’s PDA and Lara Croft’s one in Tomb Raider Legend actually both resemble ipads, right down to the single big button on the front and the touchscreens.

Reviewing this game from a modern standpoint is honestly kinda unfair. When it came out it was pretty well loved and a crazy technical achievement. There wasn't this idea that it needed to be just like the other Doom games yet, as people had been playing the original for years and were excited for something new. There was no shortage of action heavy fps Doom clones at the time and when this was announced and details began releasing people were stoked. I loved it when I first played it and so did everyone I knew at the time. It wasn't until years later when the ideas and game mechanics like sprinting and reloading combined with a less arcadey/speedy feel had become completely oversaturated that people started shit*ing on Doom 3 and saying it wasn't a "doom game". We had yet to hit this classic shooter renaissance that has been going on for awhile now and at the time the break from the usual formula was pretty well embraced. I think part of why people feel some sort of way about 3 is also because many people had to wait YEARS to play it because to have the proper experience you needed a serious pc and pc gaming was much more niche. And by then there were a bunch of games that felt pretty simmilar. That, or they weren't off the bottle even when the game released. Idk, I loved it back in the day and have always been a huge fan of the franchise. But saying that, playing it back today, especially after the release of doom 2016 and eternal, it does feel a bit standard and awkward at times. But at the time it was quite fresh and THE pc game for serious players. Even with the release of Half Life 2 it was much more beloved than it is today and not that controversial.

The way I personally approach Doom 3 is by seeing it as a doom game except if it was realistic. You're a basic marine and not like a demigod, unlike the recent doom games. The environment was believable and Hell in this game actually felt like something dark and twisted. I also wouldn't say this game failed at doing horror because they are many moments that are downright disturbing and creepy. One detail that makes Doom 3 stand out from all of the other Doom games is its atmosphere and ambience. The sound design is impeccable and if you listen to it, it really makes you feel uneasy. It's a great alternate story of Doom and I honestly think it was very good.

Finally!! Just got DOOM 3 on PC yesterday

The Doom 3 theme is just Lateralus by Tool.

My theory is that DOOM 3 takes place before Samuel Hayden took over the UAC and this was how the UAC discovered hell and used Argent energy.

I think the vanilla flashlight made the game more intense having to choose between seeing the environment or using weapons to fire at glowing eyes. Also smacking stuff with the flashlight was satisfying.

" You fell for the zombie friend prank!" *BANG*

I really liked Doom 3, but it definitely didn't feel like any other Doom game.

This game of basically fried my last gaming PC and I had to play it on the OG xbox as well as half life 2 However I still love this game to this day and will defend it till I die I also preferred the lighting and flashlight mechanics of the original verses The BFG edition That being said I don't think its the best doom game or anything I certainly enjoy the balls to the wall games as well. And I'm very highly anticipating Doom eternal

You were actually right about the multiverse thing and how hell is the same for each universe. Doom eternal confirms this

Fun Fact: They made an Entire Movie based of this Game called 'DOOM' (2005) With the Same Story, No Doomguy and Dwayne Rock Johnson is in the Movie.

Like how it was confirmed that it was a different universe with 16 and eternal's releases.

Doom 3 was good if you look at it not as the "Doom slayer slaying demons" but a normal marine trying to survive.

We don't know why but the line "OH HE'S SKYRIM NOW" makes us laugh so hard.

22:09 is my most favorite part. It always cracks me up into laughing.

It's more than possible to not save that one guy. If you push another button, which I did by accident the first time, he dies a fairly hilarious death

So many things that happened in Doom 3. You even said it feels like a proof of concept or a tech demo. I felt the same. I still haven't beaten doom 3 BFG. Even with the re-release I will still call Doom 3, the Quake 4 beta.

I remember when I first played this game... I love the reloading sound for the assault rifle and the plasma rifle and I used to purposely shoot just so I could reload.

The "To Kill the Cyberdemon: Shoot it until it dies" thing was an entirely fan-made meme. It was done to mock gaming magazines of the time that would often feature obvious or unhelpful advice. It wasn't even acknowledged in the Doom series proper until Doom 2016 named an achievement after the meme.

Something I find funny is that the word "Betrüger" is the German word for Traitor. So Dr Betrüger is just the most obvious villain being essentially called Dr Traitor

Yesterday I finished this game for the first time on my switch. I really like it. The horror feels like "haunting mansion" horror, which I am ok with. The biggest and pretty much only flaw in my experience is the lack of enviroments. Until you reach Hell (which is almost at the end of it), the game's levels feels very samey. Other than that, it is a great experience at a great value.

Is it just me or does the marine you play as kinda look like Michael Ironside?

About the Cyberdemon fight, if you play in Co-op mode you can shoot at it till it dies if memory serves ;)

This game DID scare me when I was younger. When it was new, there was nothing else quite like it.

I actually liked the creature design in this, I thought the foreskin monster and the dude on the front cover were creepy and awesome

Are you kidding about the ending? Doom 3 is a survival horror game more than an action game. I remember finishing the game for the first time, I was so full of joy for surviving this and having rescue team reaching us after closing the portal

Something HIGHLY underrated about this game is the track "mars city" it's so freaking good, it combines emotional elements that we feel (or were supposed to feel anyway) in Doom 3 and Doom in general, it's a mix between suspense, horror, action, story and challenge. This track is so good in fact that Mick gordon remixed and it was going to be in Doom eternal, although due to pacing issues and the track not fitting with the level that is was supposed to play (mars core If I remember correctly) it was removed, but still is here on youtube, it's called Arriving on Mars and it's a BLAST, seriously one of the best Doom tracks ever

Betruger is such an obvious villain his name in german is on letter away from being ,,Betrayer‘‘. I‘m pretty sure the only reason his name wasn‘t just straight up Betrüger was because id had no german keyboards.

So the one thing I disagree with is your assessment of the shotgun. I never liked Doom 3's shotgun. It felt weak compared to the Doom/Doom II/Doom 64 versions, and the inconsistency in the number of hits it took to kill enemies was even more drastic than before. It also lacked the distance sniping precision of the old Doom shotguns, and I ended up using the machinegun for that purpose most of the time (and to take down zombies with guns). It never made sense to me that they didn't include the super shotgun in the base game and only introduced it in the expansion.

Doom 3 WAS revolutionary and a technical marvel. Half Life 2 was just that much more impressive.

no matter what people say I will always enjoy this game and respect its efforts at becoming a doom game

To be fair, judging the merits of the horror genre by Doom 3 is like judging all sandwiches by consuming McDonalds.

I could've sworn I'd seen this already but apparently not. Great analysis on this one!

This game did it’s own thing and despite being a deviation from traditional Doom it was amazing for its time.

I’ve always thought of Doom 3 as a dark light attraction (with dark being an understatement). Where the intro is the waiting line where you prepare for the ride it sets up. But like an attraction, it looses some of its initial luster after going on it multiple times.

Including the console commands in this video to enable widescreen in this video is absolutely goddamn heroic, you're a legend for this.

that opening skit scared the life out of me, ,=my door is facing the same direction that knock came from, absolutely terrified me

Holy moly! So glad I stumbled across this channel. This channel rocks! Visually pleasing and interactive. :)

I wouldn't say that Doom 3 failed to be scary because this game is freaking creepy, the fact that this game literally laughs at your suffering and it just thinks it's hilarious to throw you in a dark room with a demon that could pop out at any moment through the pitch black and nearly kill you in two hits.

“Whenever my power goes out I point my flashlight directly to the right of what I’m trying to look at” 🤣 I wanted to quote all the times this video made me laugh, but I’d just be transcribing the whole thing. Your sense of humor is spot on, well done!

I fell asleep listening to this, best sleep I've ever gotten. Trav's voice is so soothing and I love hearing demon noises as I fall asleep. 10/10, I will be doing it again.

Love that your getting more ambitious with your videos.

doom 3 is one of my all time favorites. its a bit of a disappointment seeing as its not a tradition style game but they knocked it out of the park with what they intended for the game

THAT PICTURE AT 5:47! I was looking for it for a long time, as I remembered seeing it once in a gaming magazine's "upcoming titles" section, and never again. But I couldn't find it, only a very bad scan of that exact issue of the magazine, so at least I could confirm that I wasn't mandela effecting myself into hallucinating that way too large HUD, but couldn't find a highres pic of it. So, thanks.

Great video man just happened to stumbled across u while looking into doom 3. U deserve way more subs.

I've never heard someone act so positively over seeing hell

Hey. Just found you from cloud connection on twitter. Just subbed! 😁

I appreciate the fact in the thumbnail, its Gordon Freeman's hand making that shadow.

One of best games of my childhood, I was SO scared to play some levels, SO SCARED

amazing vid dude just discovered the channel really surprised that you have so little subs seeing how your content is has great quality

Woah man, you really deserve more subs. This is almost an hour long and you still have just over 1000 subscribers

This week i started to play DooM 3 BFG edition for the first time, i was really impressed. Dark corridors, monsters can spawn anywhere, loud noises distrating. The Terror was really well made. Together with some In-game HUDs with light blue color, felt like playing a modded dead space in a way.

When I first started this game I thought the monster models were pretty bad and not scary at all and didn't get why people were saying this was a horror game. Then as I really got immersed in the game I would turn a corner around the quiet facility and I would hear the screams of the monsters and spiders and I would quietly scream wishing for them to stop coming. I would cower in the corner, but they still found me, there was no safe zone. I play on my Switch handheld in my bed with headphones and this game makes me feel so scared to my core and infantile I feel like my mom is going to come in my room and tell me to stop playing video games and go to bed, and I'm a grown man.

Great take! I still forget how to do the teleportation pad thing sometimes because it's so unintuitive

Play doom 3 on nightmare. Needing to listen and balance weapons based on enemy type made me finally understand the game.

Just recently found your channel after getting into the doom franchise, and with your mention of John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), I can’t help but subscribe. That and Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge (2016) are my two favorite movies of all time. Also, I played this game when I was still pretty new to horror media, so it shocked me a couple times, but for whatever reason, the laptop that I played it on didn’t like to have high brightness, so I ended up having to put the brightness to max and turn up the gamma which kinda ruined the ambience. I also probably let online opinions taint my own opinion on my first playthrough.

fun fact, there is indeed a Doom 3 Vr mod that not only allows you to play fully in vr, but also speaking alerts enemies [don't remember if true] and activates Npc dialogue by talking to them directly

Moral of the story: don't make a horror game out of an action franchise

In the beginning I legit thought i knocked something over

As someone who played Doom 1 & 2 growing up in the 90's (born in 88), I loved (and still do) Doom 3 and RoE. I appreciate that it offers a different experience that does still feel like Doom to me, so now even years later I go back to playing it for that experience. I suppose that's something I appreciate about the Doom series as a whole, each iteration has provided a different feel to playing it, and all of them entertaining.

I remember playing this game for the first time and having to have the graphics settings super low, and I finished the whole game like this. A while after, I got a new computer and replayed the game with higher settings and I remember thinking "woah, this game looks really good." I just wasn't used to good looking games.

Foreskin abomination -That Trav guy 2019

I picked Up Doom 3 For My Switch yesterday as well as with Doom 1,2, and 64

12:39 in that moment, I thought that you were wondering, how the magazines are feeding bullets to the chamber in this gun. I was always wondering about that, as this gun looks like a revolver with how the handle is placed.

When I played this on release as a kid I at first thought Half-life meets Deus Ex, but when the audio logs kicked in I knew Carmack and the others were looking at System Shock 2 way too much.

Best doom 3 review I have seen. You actually talked about the flashlight! Here is what I think of doom 3. It is very fun to play. I love it. Especially the flashlight. It's a really good Melee weapon, and You are the only horror protagonist to think of using the flashlight as a bludgeon. Doom 3 is beyond awesome. It's beyond rad. Doom 3... Is dandy. ~CGR

Looking at doom 3 makes me realize why the first 2 halo games had less detailed graphics because when you put too much detail in a og Xbox game you make everything look like rubber

I'm watching this alone in my room at night and when trav made a *thump* sound and hells "HEY!!!", that scared the hell out of me cus' my door is to my left and those sounds came out from the left earbud. Thought someone was opening my door.

35:40 the sarcophagus that contains the Slayer!

Its a fun game. Worth playing it at least once.

The pinky was the only demon I found scary actually

27:02 OH THERE HE IS! **Gags** ow THERE'S MY SON! WAIT WAIT NO!

0:00 I thought that shouting was someone in my house lol

I'd recommend Doom 3 just for the sake of playing it and having your own opinion.

If the spider mastermind has breasts does that mean spider milk is a thing?

I've been playing my first run of Doom 3 in VR and it's actually been a very fun experience! The game's attempt at being horror is better from the VR perspective and it's still decently fast-paced provided you're not prone to motion sickness.

I never played this game back in the day and still haven’t, but I saw it as a kid and was really amazed by it, it looked terrifying and I was blown away from the graphics, this was one of the first games I saw that really made me think “Wow, this looks incredible!”. Seeing it today, I’m still really impressed by the graphics, the empty corridors and dark halls, blood and shadow, it all looks amazing, those parts of the game blow Half-Life 2 out of the wafer and still look better than a lot of more modern games I’ve seen today. The character models have definitely aged a lot, some still look good, some look terrible, but I think all but the worst still look better than HL2. Also if has mirrors! Remember when they were in most games? Now nothing has them. It’s a shame. My only real graphical issue is just how dark it is, I know it’s meant to be a horror game but there’s nothing scary to me about a dark screen, it’s just annoying for me to have trouble seeing stuff. I remember finding the story really interesting too, or at least the beginning bit, arriving on Mars and seeing NPCs and stuff. I should get around to playing it for myself, I’m really interested in games I saw growing up at the moment and I think out of all of the ones I remember this one is still graphically the best, every time I see it I just feel just as impressed as I did back then because I know what graphics usually were like at the time. Oh, and I also LOVE the screens, it’s so well done. I love the way so many things are displayed on screens, and so many are intractable without needing to press E on them to open up an interface.
