I played Doom 3 last night and I have not sh@t myself in a game like that since the original Silent Hill on Playstation. I am still at the beginning, where the demons have come and I am cr@pping myself!

The darkness, and ESPECIALLY those freaky radio transmissions of ppl dying. *shiver*

I can't wait to get home to play some more! B)

It get scarier I just finished it yesterday...lots of fun and thrill. Have fun playing it

Scarier?

*faint*

These kind of games are ideal in a dark room with the volume up!

I remember playing resident evil 2 on ps1 with a friend, totally engrossed and when that spider thing fell from the roof...

i really like it from the first second i started playing

Try PainKiller for a realy intense game

Doom 3 is like a walk in the park compared to Painkiller

Painkiller is a first-person horror shooter, designed to satisfy a gamer's

hunger for intense, fast-paced action. ItÆs an adrenaline addictÆs nightmare,

where hellish monsters swarm in seemingly endless mobs.

Graphically, Painkiller is unmatched. Played out over more than 20 completely

unique and different levels, the proprietary 3D engine puts out 100X the

polygons of the latest shooters, while adding increased texture quality and

the latest lighting and shadowing techniques.

Stranded in a place between Heaven and Hell, your time of judgment is at

hand. The Underworld is on the verge of unholy war, and you are but a pawn

in the infernal battle. As you fight for your purification, the truths

behind the deceptions are revealed.

Game Features:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Intense gameplay: The player will be constantly outnumbered, fighting against

seemingly insurmountable odds.

- Next-generation graphics: The game uses the proprietary 3D PAIN Engine

capable of pumping out 100X the polygons of some of the latest shooters,

while adding increased texture quality and the latest lighting and shadowing

techniques.

- Lasting replay value: Painkiller features a standard single player campaign,

with additional modes to encourage replay. The game also features full

multiplayer support.

- Combo weapons: All weapons come in pairs, with a primary and secondary fire.

- Morphing: Your unholy pact gives you the power to morph into a powerful

possessed creature with every 100 souls collected.

- Monster AI: Advanced AI coding will simulate group behaviours. Monsters

don't spawn onto the map, they patrol. They are constantly aware of the

player, and will coordinate their attacks by retreating, regrouping and

counterattacking.

- Physics Engine: Painkiller employs the Havok 2.0 physics engine, allowing

for inverse kinematics ("rag-doll physics") and deformable, interactive

environments

i've played painkiller but i really preffer doom3. a good graphic card is the only problem if you don't have a high specs machine for d3.

painkiller's monsters are... less realistic?? anyway it's a good game

Somebody on another forum mentioned that they played Doom 3 in a dark room with their headphones on, this got me thinking. Because I have to play with the sound down at home, I dug up some old headphones of mine and plugged them and played some Doom...

!

Man, did I jump out of my skin!!! Now that I could hear all the little sounds and things, the game gets a hell of a lot more creepier...

And I'm still @ Alpha Labs, apparently it gets much more scarier.

yeah you got a long way to go and it only gets better. there's some cheap thrills - monsters that jump at you and stuff, but all in all, the scariest game i've played since the first aliens vs. predator. i heard clive barker's undying was supposed to be a great horror game. i'll have to check out painkiller as well.

oh, and i think my favorite scene in doom so far was the part in alpha labs with the old scientist on the bridge with the lantern....

*remembers the old Doom 1 and Doom* god.. those were EASY... was more of point and shoot.. and know where you were going... i'm getting doom 3 tomarrow... but i already know its NOT going too run on my computer lol..

1.9 ghz AMD Athlon XP

Windows XP Home

1 gig of memory

geforce 4 mx440 64 mb memory.. LOL

so yea...... i'll be playing at like 1 fps.

*anyone got an old video card they don't need... hint hint... *

EDIT: just got doom 3 installed it and I LOVE IT! its scary as f*** i almost wet myself.. its actually running better then i though for my Geforce 4.. i can get my 50 FPS but it still drops down too about 9 FPS every now and then... I played with the cheat codes to spawn the main boss "Cyberdemon lord" at least i think thats the main boss... and it was soo bad that i was getting 1 fps.. and for all you people that are gonna call me a cheater.. i wanted too see what they did with the cyberdemon lord.. i play the game without codes when i'm actually playing.

*remembers the old Doom 1 and Doom* god.. those were EASY... was more of point and shoot.. and know where you were going

I enjoyed playing Doom 1 and 2 MUCH more than Doom 3. Oh, and if you think Doom 3 is anything more than just point and shoot, then you're sorely mistaken.

I used to think Doom 3 had a chance against Half-Life 2, but it now looks as though it's gonna have its arse whipped tenfold.

My vote for the scariest game ever goes to System Shock 2, or Thief 3 in the haunted orphanage.

I thought "The Suffering" was a really good scarey freaky game as well. It'll make ya jump too.

i think "undying" is as scary as doom3....just give it a try!

Painkiller is nice but doom3 is scarier

well anyway i dont like doom3

it sucks to allways switch between weapon and flashlight

just to see where u are heading

That's why it is scary, Eiffel! Anyway, I finished the game at highest difficulty level unlocked (not nightmare!) and it's pretty easy compared to hardest level of FarCry, simply because you can save wherever you want to. Anyway, I don't think nightmare level is that realistic as your health drops to 25% slowly after you get a health pack.

Also, the final 'boss' wasn't as difficult as the 'medium sized bossed' you come across in the middle.

But, it was a freakingly scary game. I think I'm a fearless freak after playing it. I played it in the mid-night too; not on the first day, but 3rd and 4th. Took me only 5 days to finish the game.
