So, tonight I got my copy of DOOM 3, the most anticipated computer game of the decade. So far, it's as incredible as everyone hoped it would be. Now, it is a straight-up shooter, so you have to like that sort of game, but if you do... it rocks.
It's also scary as hell. It takes place on a Mars base with the world's most inconveniently unreliable electrical system. The lights always seem to go out at the worst possible time.
Observations (spoiler-free) so far:
1.) The graphics are, in fact, amazing. They'd be even better with antialiasing, but that requires more graphics hardware than I have. Even at 800x600, they're fantastic.
2.) If there's one thing I've learned from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitiara and abz6598, it's that you always shoot zombies in the head. This is exceedingly good advice. They tend to skeletonize in a very gory fashion when shot in the head.
3.) I would trade half the weapons in the game for a SureFire WeaponLight with a momentary switch. Having to put down your weapon to get out the flashlight to peer into a dark, menacing place... very not good. :)
