Doom 3 or Doom 3 BFG Edition?

[D.A.R.K.]

I don't care to Doom and Doom 2, I loved Doom 3, but Doom 3 is old and the graphics are really really ugly, what do you think about Doom 3 BFG? A while ago I asked that question and people told something about Doom 3 BFG being bad for some reason, but I don't remember what it is.

Original Doom 3. Both are nearly identical graphics-wise (I think BFG Edition more focused on contrast and lighting), but Doom 3 is more moddable (mods for Doom 3 don't work for the BFG Edition and vice-versa). There's a plethora of graphic and gameplay mods for D3 to improve the game.

The main difference is that in the BFG Edition, the flashlight is mounted to your chest so you can use it all the time. In OG Doom 3, it's a selectable "weapon," meaning you can either shine your flashlight or have a gun equipped. Makes for a scarier atmosphere. There are mods for Doom 3 to make the flashlight the way it is in BFG Edition if you prefer, but it takes away from the dark tone of the game and makes it easier.

If Doom 3 is moddabla that means it's better.

Thanks I will give it a try. Also I will like to know what is the process of porting a map or mods to RBDoom 3 BFG.

Well mostly just put everything in a folder and test to see if everything goes as expected.

If the mod uses game.dll and you have the source code you can port it to Classic RBDOOM's code compile it to a game.dll and put it on the folder with the other stuff.

Also Classic RBDOOM has a command that allow you to package your mod in .resources files.

If you don't have the original Doom games already or you have a relatively new PC, this one. You get Ultimate Doom, Doom 2 AND the Resurrection of Evil DLC for Doom 2 all in one package. And Ultimate & 2 play better with newer systems.

Origional Doom 3, the BFG edition is completely crap.

Doom 3 ultimately made a mistake by changing the gameplay from D1 and D2, into a survival shooter. Darkness, couldn't use flashlight and gun at the same time, ammo scarcity. It didn't feel like a member of the Doom franchise, but it was a solid game.

Because it was criticized for being different to Doom 1 and 2, BFG tried to 'fix' it by increasing the lighting in levels, and putting more ammo everywhere so you never ran out. But they didn't change the map design, which was set up for different gameplay. So you end up with this game that isn't scary anymore because you've always got ammo - but it doesn't have nice big rooms or arenas like the older games, so it just ends up failing at both.

Doom 3 wasn't a good Doom game, but it was a good game by it's own merit.
