I found that very funny that doom 3 is base on the story of system shock 2.
I don't have any bad comment about the game on witch they have build doom3 on that one. But would it
be more interesting if the story line could have been more creative huh!.

As far as I can remember system shock action was on a ship posseded by some evil and we had to get
some particular code and card to acces some other part of the ship. Plus like systemshock2 the
environment is also changing from steel walls and other stuff to some organic creature fixed to the
walls.

But in a other hand the game doom3 give some new element to work whit like lighting effect and
metamorphic environment like walls and guardrails witch to me is great and some good interacting
characters that give me often a good anguish.

8-O :'-S ;->

GG.
 
Actually, its based on the storyline in Doom 1. Its more a remake than a sequel IMO.

System Shock 2 was unbelievably complex (compared to other games)
gameplay-wise. Weapons actually broke in combat and had to be repaired,
maintained, and modified. You had to chase down chemicals to research stuff.
You were forced to pick the right weapon to attack a given opponent, etc.
There were implants, codes, access cards, and of course character stats. I
think it's the best game I've ever played. Doom 3, on the other hand, is a
dumb shooter compared to SS2. Still, I think it's an improvement over Doom 1
and 2 gameplay-wise (graphically there's no contest of course).

The story in D3 reminds me of half life. We have a big research facility.
You start your day there peacefully and then everything goes to hell in a
hand basket.

True.
Maybe d3 is a dumb shooter like you say but what's your missing is a little improvement that concern
d3 like e-mail, special codes to open lockers, video and voice mail that people left behind before
the hell break loose. And these thing, you need them to achieve your goal, kill every thing...
heuh..

People who are getting the game is for fashion and to justify vs there wife their big video card
like 9800pro 256mb or what so ever over 350$ us or 500+cnd

Of course I like the codes and the email stuff. I said D3 is a dumb shooter
when you compare it to SS2. By itself it's not.

I absolutely love the way the crosshair turns into a little cursor in D3
when you approach a console. Other games usually take you to a different
screen to access a console or make you push a button. In D3, consoles and
buttons have little GUIs for the player, which I think improves immersion
greatly.

Good for them. I'll keep running D3 on my 9700 Pro on High Quality. I can
handle an occasional pause here or there if it gets me higher quality.

LOL, all of which appeared in SS2, if the models weren't so bad in SS2 it
would have been a bigger hit.
Probably if it was less complex it might had had more of a following.
That was a scary game.

Many of these things were brought over to the first Deus Ex, even the
user interface is almost identical.

Yeah. I liked Deus Ex too, but it was simpler than SS2.
