Well...I enjoyed Doom, as is no secret. It's a hit or miss thing. If you're...well, like me...you might have enjoyed it. If you're some adhd internet brat who needs a vehicle chase and 60 different weapons and enemies to find the game entertaining
When Half-Life 2 can have full environmental bump mapping, no skippy sound, and textures that don't look like the underside of a nutsack, call me, and I'll be glad to cast a vote in it's favor here. Oh, and when they update the sound buffer from HL1 that they forgot to tweak, let me know about that too, cause then me and 6 million billion other people on steam will be able to play it a lot more enjoyable and maybe give it a fair shot. The double standards piss me off either way.
Too much hating going on between these two games. Technology and atmosphere, Doom wins (whether you liked it or not), gameplay variety and Super Party Fun Time with Physics, Half-Life wins.
I like how you put down people who do not enjoy Doom 3. Maybe you can look at the poll, and understand that you are only one of a few who enjoyed it more then HL2. Your opinion is noted, and I respect it, but the fact you had to make it seem people who disliked Doom 3 were brats, is really low, and lame. Obviously you are just a pissed off Doom 3 fan, because HL2 and H2 came out, and rocked Doom 3 like a million times over.
Doom does not win in atmosphere, it was boring, and the last boss was easy as hell. The amount of immersion in HL2 simply beats Doom 3. D3 was not scary, it didn't make me jump, and I at no time felt afraid. Everything was scripted, and once the enemies appeared out of a wall or something dumb like that, you shot them. They had terrible AI, and it felt like they were just programmed to follow you around and try to kill you (instead of working as a team to eliminate you).
Whoever said the last boss was cool, is right, he looked sweet, but all you had to do was run around the pit, and dodge his attacks well you kill enemies. Then you just soul cube him and it is over (wow, HARD).
You are all entitled to your opinions, but come on, be reasonable. You keep complaining about the proplems your PC is having with HL2, but you fail to mention how much trouble some people had trying to run Doom 3. Sure this Steam stuff is lame, but they are just trying something new, sooner or later the idea will work, but at the moment they are the first company to do this on such a fullscale, they'll need time to learn from mistakes. So don't ***** about that.
Not to mention the gameplay in HL2 was more creative, and ALOT more enjoyable...
and in my opinion, gameplay, and immersion are what makes or breaks a game, and just like HL1, I couldn't put down HL2.
