Until Doom Eternal came along and engulfed YouTube in the fires of hellish Discourse, Doom 3 was the hotly debated one. Discussed and re-litigated a thousand times over, it was highly praised by many at launch, “a non-stop ride of tension, carnage and terror” , while others found themselves less enthralled by its goofy action-horror charms.
As for my personal experience with Doom 3, I liked it quite a bit, but not enough to play through it more than once back in the day. While impressive for the time, I was never quite as wowed by its graphics as its greatest fans. Mainly because I’d seen better just weeks prior, thanks to Starbreeze’s Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay.
There are parts that people remember very fondly of Doom 3, like its depiction of hell for the few levels you spend there. After traversing a thousand shiny brushed-steel corridors and labs, the shifting walls, ornate brickwork and uneven volcanic rock of the underworld feels especially menacing. Especially as the hell levels liked to throw one especially memorable enemy at you that hasn’t returned since; demonic cherub.
The easiest way to dodge these alterations is to go back to the source. If you’re willing to spend five minutes of tinkering to get the best possible experience, you’ll want, a source port that makes the original, unaltered game play nicer with modern hardware and aspect ratios. Compared to its cousins GZDoom and VKQuake it’s a bit bare-bones, but irons out most of the issues inherent in the original release.
