Darkness of Doom

[+Fates]

OK,

 

Just got done with Marine HQ, and I'm finding this game really impressive. Yet, I think it's waaaay too dark. It's like gun, flashlight, gun, flashlight, gun, flashlight, gun, gun, GUN, OMFG GUUUUUUUN!!!!! AAAAAAAHHH! For those who read this, imagine that with graphics. Really scary graphics. I mean scary....like poop my pants kind of scary. That's D3 in a nutshell. I just hope the game isn't this dark throughout.

 

Zagnut,

 

I've found that you can almost put your flashlight away if you simply listen to the sounds very intently. Kinda hard to do while pooping your pants...hehe...but it's possible.

 

 

They don'k make it easy at all...that's for sure. There are soooo many audio tracks happening... You got them screwming to return to HQ..while machinery is beating away...and sirens..and you comm radio goin balistic with traffic of everyone in Terror... They have capture the moment quite well. I'm lovin this!

I actually set the lighting texures up to a reasonable rate now! I went into the Doom3 config file in the base/doom3 dir. You have to scrool down (about halfway), but you can adjust the ambient lighting as well as gamma. I turned mine up to 3 and took the brightness down to 25%, and it worked out beautifully. It's still dark in the game, but you're not always having to switch b/t the flashlight and gun all the time.
