Half-Life 2 or Doom 3.

Which in your opinion is better?

Posted by stren on Nov-18-2004 22:09:

haven't played either, but I've heard Half-life2 has something called "a plot" in it

Posted by Synapse1337 on Nov-18-2004 22:15:

Yeah, I've played both and have to say, the physics in HL2 is insane. I do enjoy the plots in the hl series as well, but there still was sort of one in Doom 3. I just think overall Half-Life 2 is a more complete overall package: riveling graphics, insane physics, and deep plot. Not to mention the interface and attention to cosmetics.

I'm more of a HL fan than Doom, but Doom is still good IMO. I'll get both...

...but tomorrow, HL2 only for me.

Doom 3 = a tech demo

Half-Life 2 = an experience

hmmmmmmmm

Doom 3 was incredible for the first 45 minutes, until you realized just how repetitive it was. Oh look, a long hallway. Let's see, I'll get about half way down it, an imp will spawn in my face and as soon as I dispatch it, another will spawn right behind me. Not to mention the utter dissapointment of the final fight. Don't get me wrong, it was a great game, but HL2 just blows it clean out of the water.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Even tho HL2 is awesome, I'm still willing to give Doom 3 a try. It still looks good, so I'll prolly buy it for myself in a few weeks.

Doom 3 was boring after the first few "scares"

Have to admit, i was like bouncing all over the chair during the first hour of doom 3.then.. it was all Meh...

Now to save up enough money for a decent gfx card and get me a HL2

yeah my thoughts exactly

the first time I played it (at 12AM with no lights on), I was screaming like a girl (hey at least I admit it)

after a while it got old

Half life 2 is "...THE BEST GAME EVER MADE." -PC GAMER
I couldn't agree more. I have Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Halo 2. Out of all of these top-notch FPS Half-Life 2 is definately the best (it comes with the new COUNTERSTRIKE!!!), although I would say UT2004 comes in a close second. The only reason why Halo got big at all is because not everyone has 4 computers hooked up to a lan to play...

Halo is a fucking fantastic game. Nothing before it had come close in terms of cinematic immersion, imo. Not to mention the multiplayer is simply the best all around, period. Half Life may have more mods, but they're more specialized. Halo's multiplayer is just so flexible.

That said... if I could only take one game to a desert island with me, it would be HL2 and it's mods (my previous choice would have been HL1 and it's mods). But Halo deserves some credit.
