DOOM 3 IMP SOFTWARE
DOOM 3 IMP PASSWORD

It does feel like just a few moments ago, people were living and working there.

The base itself has a very believable design. Doom 3 managed to have a straightforward story with enough mystique to keep you entertained, and also has enough cool audio logs that tell the story of the Mars base. While my laptop cannot run Doom 2016, I have watched the intro of the Doom guy ripping a monitor the moment it starts showing exposition, which I found rather cringy. The story is intriguing without getting in the way and never forces you to sit through exposition. This leads me to he story and atmosphere.

There was one level on which the password on all lockers was 123 because the employees were morons and could not remember a more complex password. Last but not least, finding the passwords of lockers is tremendously satisfying, forcing you to listen to audio logs, read through emails and to search for PDFs. There are always hidden medpacs and ammo, and finding them is always satisfying. After the first levels, you are often starved for ammo and health, forcing you explore the levels. There is no handholding in any shape or form. I also like the design philosophy of Doom 3. The monsters and their attacks are varied and with no hitscan attacks except for zombie marines. Just look at the comparison of all Doom monsters.Doom 3 did much better in this regard than Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, even if Eternal is in theory closest to the original designs. The Imp design is superb, it is more complex than the original, as it has both melee and ranged attacks, can sustain two shotguns shots and facing three imps at the same time is a challenge.Īll in all, I love how each monster of the original Doom was interpreted to make it stronger, more individually challenging, with more varied attacks and complex behavior, and being both respectful to the original visual design while still being creative with it. I also love the Doom 3 interpretation of the Chaingun and how it is introduced, allowing you to plow through hordes of enemies. I really like their interpretation of the Pinky monster, making it almost like a micro boss fight.

The engine supporting no more than 3-4 enemies on the screen somehow works in favour of the game, as it forced id Software to make the monsters stronger and more challenging. The monster design is very respectful to the original Doom, the game feels like what Doom would have been if it were realistic. I have been playing Doom 3 and I think it is very underrated.
