Doom 3 was the first next-gen game for me if you know what I mean. The graphics were phenomenal when id first showed it off. Can't believe it's been eight years.
My memory of Doom3 was that it killed my two Radeon 9800 cards (pro clocked to xt) I had to fork out for an X800pro to finished the game. I didnt like the game enough to play it through again though, even a revised version.
Agreed, For me Doom 3 was visually fantastic, Obviously the AI in farcry was superior as were ragdoll effects, etc. But you cant deny the fact doom 3 was a massive jump with regards to visuals.
I can't believe so many people moaned about a gameplay mechanic. Ridiculous.
