Yeah so we all know that Doom 3 is like totally not scary at all right?
Well I was playing the Aliens vs Predator games which in a way suck but I love em anyway, and found that the game is scary as shit when it doesn't let you save any time you want.
So if you play Doom 3 where every time you die, you completely restart the level, the game becomes pretty intense. I was in a firefight with like 3 zsecs. Normally I'd just be like, oh no problem I lost like 75 health I'll just reload the game from before and kill em again and keep my full health. Now it's like OMG!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT RUN AWAY! Every monster encounter becomes a fight for survival. It's so awesome. Maybe now Doom 3 will scare the shit out of me the way it's supposed to. The beginning of the game has so far been pretty easy though except for when I was down to 5 health after encountering 3 zsecs and had to fight through a bunch of imps before I got to the infirmary but I'm thinking about how crazy it's gonna be later when I have to fight hell knights and stuff, and the hell level will be insanely hard and crazy too.
I think quick saving ruins games. If all games had like a checkpoint system, it would make the game tougher and way more intense. I'm remembering Farcry now. At times it can be very frustrating actually but that's on the harder difficulties. Doom 3 won't be so bad because you have a ton of health.
