This press release
(thanks Frans) announces that DOOM 3 is selling like hotcakes: "The game debuted
as the #1 best-selling PC game in the U.S. for the week ending August 7,
according to NPD Techworld. Additionally, DOOM 3 was the #1 best-selling game
overall in the U.K. for the weeks ending August 14 and August 21, according to
the U.K. Chart Track and the #1 best-selling PC game in Australia, for the weeks
ending August 8 and 15, according to GfK Inform Database. For the week ending
August 15, DOOM 3 also was the #1 best-selling PC game in France, according to
GfK; the #1 game in Germany, according to Media Control; and the #1 game in
Sweden, Denmark and Norway, according to Manual Sweden, Manual Denmark and
Manual Norway."
Still shocked at how many over high reviews this is getting, seems very mediocre 0_O
It wasn't the Alpha/Omega of gaming people were suggesting it might be, but I think it was alright.
The PDA's were a nice touch. It was sort of like System Shock 2 (never played 1), the pDA's offer more of the story while amusing you with people's personal problems or experiences. I liked to sit there and read everyone's email.
But the replayability is pretty low, and the multiplayer really isn't that great. Personally, I kind of wish there was a way to "rent" PC games (new ones, not the cr@p yahoo offers). I probably still would have paid for Doom 3, but there are others that were bad that I regretted buying.
