No other games had real time shadows or took advantage of it. Doom3 is in a way like brutal doom, in that it upped the challenge between the player and the monsters, and the lighting was incredible for it’s time. I just realize that it wasn’t doom2, and didn’t project those expectations on the game.Īlso, doom2 is extremely dated, and IMO only worth playing with the Brutal Doom mod nowadays. I thoroughly enjoyed Doom3 for being Doom3, even though I’m also a fan of Doom2.
The whiners just wanted it to be something that it wasn’t, then threw a fit because they didn’t get it. Doom3 was a completely different style of game, and it did a good job for what it was.
This is a simple case of people projecting their incorrect expectations on a game that never claimed to be an update to doom2, but a scary reboot of the series.ĭoom2 fans crawled out of the woodwork and whined that it wasn’t doom2, which was really rather pathetic.
