What a let down...

[Venmoch]

Not enough decent action was the main problem. And the age old insistance to go the "long way round" That and chasing Bravo Team was lame. Why couldn't Kelly told them to wait five damn minutes while I catch up with them?

That and the enemy design was great in visual style but lacked as far as the programming was concerned. Why didn't the Imps act like the Aliens in AvP 2? We know that AI walking on the celing/walls can be done as we saw it in AvP 2 but they didn't bother to include it. Thats what would have made the already overused Imps a little more interesting to fight. That and none of the decent enemies are seen. And don't get me started on the Trites, Lost Souls and Cherubs. Its already hard enough for you to hit them when they're not atacking you but when they start jumping at you and can attack every second or so it seems a little unfair.

And they have these great little "effects" (The Red outs) but after Alpha Labs they all seem to stop.

...they have future-proofed it.

That shouldn't mean that they let it look bad now...

I have only played the demo, but the one thing I thought was done really well was the part in the loo where you look in the mirror and it all suddenly goes red, and you look all old.

The ambient sounds was pretty good as well.

Heh that bit made me jump bigtime ,. I thought the sound was very good also and the engine tech was very impressive, however the lack of extranious items to interact with detracted from any real sense of immersion. You could only pick up things that served some purpose, I'd of liked to have been able to read the magazines or drink the coffee, small stuff like that draws you into the environment more.

Anyhows I got bored about 5 hours in, and I just don't have the motivation to carry on with the game anymore. Roll on HL² and Stalker.

There's a woman in Doom 3! Sure, her skull pops out of her head and is a demon, but that's okay. She was hot while she was alive.

actually that whole ejecting skull blood everywhere trying to rip arteries out of your neck with her teeth thing is a major turn on for me.. :thumbs:

These screenshots were taken on "Ultra" settings.
Not very impressive.

Those screenshots are pointless. Any game looks like that when you take 1024x768 screenshots of a wall that's one inch away from you. No wonder you consider this game 'a let down' if you ignore all the nice scenery and purely focus on examining texture quality.

Personally, I think alot of the textures rely too much on the shadows to make them look pretty. Like the imp model/skin with no shadows on it, bleh.

I dont care, i would bang her as a demon also, she would give you a "hell" of a ride then
