unpopular opinion: BFG Edition is much better than original doom 3

[chestnut]

so hear me out
there's a lot of things that bother people in the BFG edition (the flashlight, the excessive amounts of ammo, etc.)
out of all of these things, the only thing that bothers me is the flashlight, the rest actually make the game more fun for me (I play on veteran difficulty on the BFG edition)

welp time to turn off my notifications

no, this isnt better, a lot of things were cut out.
The only thing that can give bfg edition is fast loads, excellent multithreading (performance gains are felt even on a weak computer. In the end, it does not lag even with effects.), support widescreen (this is possible in the original, but only through the console / config). Graphics are demaster than the improved version of doom 3.
Bethesda dont want to make anything for bfg edition, still no patches , a separate version was made for the bethesda net launcher, some small improvements were not included in the steam version.
This mod can restore some cutted things: https://www.moddb.com/mods/cstdoom3-bfg

well in my personal opinion, I still enjoy this version a lot more than the original
you make good points, but my opinion is left unchanged
if you disagree with me, that's completely fine, just remember that

and I'll go check out that mod, thank you for telling me

Also, no one notes that the physics is fixed in the bfg edition. In the original, after hitting into the head, the characters most often did somersaults.
Especially noticeable in original when you kill a zombie by your hands, and it flies up.

I can understand why someone would like the BFG Edition more. It depends on what you like. The BFG Edition is brighter, gives you more ammo, and doesn't have flashlight play. It is more action-oriented. My pros/cons for it:

+better optimized and with some minor fixes, including better ragdoll physics
+doesn't require any mods to work well on modern systems
+quick load times
-some missing content, though not a lot
-non-skip-able cutscenes
-no zoom function
-less mods available/compatible
-slightly more expensive to purchase

The original games, on the other hand, are darker, give you less ammo, and have flashlight play. They are more horror-oriented. My pros/cons for it:

+better shadow quality
+have content that was cut out of the BFG editions
+skip-able cutscenes
+zoom function
+more mods
+slightly cheaper to purchase
-less optimized
-quirky ragdoll physics
-slower load times

If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose the originals -- though it does indeed have some wacky death physics .

I like BFG edition more than original, but I miss EnviroSuit in Erebus and mini-games in RoE. Also, never noticed missing "Phasing Effects in Delta X".

Original Doom 3 still has slow load time on modern PCs, like when you play newest mod for it Doom 3: Phobos.

Shame they took away part's in bfg, but only play on nightmare. And lost missions is good, one cut seen I've found in roe just before you get the grabber gun, it's on my ytube channel.
