Are you an idiot? Or just trolling?
You just called Crysis the finest single player FPS of the generation and you're asking ME if I'M trolling.
Talk about putting mediocrity on a pedestal. In the five long years that this game has been out you're the first person I've ever seen lob that praise at it.
Wow I didn't know this. It would probably reduce the tension a bit, but this is a vast improvement.
The tension comes from monster closets, good sound design, and a solid lighting engine, I would have to agree with you.

Have the whole Doom franchise (the ones that matter anyways) on Steam. Superior PC version is superior version of shit game.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I've never played it, so yes it's actually one of the only games coming out this fall that I'm interested in. I'll keep an eye out for discounts around Black Friday time, as I'm sure it'll drop to $20 quick.

I already know what to expect.
Last time I got to play it was...about a year ago? I also borrowed the Xbox version for a day or two from my friend, but didn't get to finish it.
I've always wanted to get the game, and with all the extras, I might as well wait for this version.
The graphics don't really look any better than the original, but I don't really care. I still play all of my classic consoles regularly, so I don't mind outdated graphics.
I'll probably wait until it's cheaper, though. I still got a ton of other stuff to get first...

I'm interested in replaying Doom 3 but at $40 I'll wait for a price drop.
And I know exactly how it would go too. I would load it up, play through E1M1 and say "Hmm. That was neat", and never touch it again.

ME! I'm a Doom nut so I pre-ordered as soon as I could. I can't wait to play through the new missions.
No, he's obviously someone who played F.E.A.R.

Woah, 10 years ago I had the exact same Sony DVD surround sound setup! It stopped reading discs a while back.

It's good for a rental. I can't wait to see the reworked lighting, since the only light source in vanilla Doom 3 besides the flashlight was imp fireballs.
If we're going to sit here and argue the quality of F.E.A.R vs Crysis, I will side with F.E.A.R. every single time.

Yes, because it's coming in december with my oculus.
I can't wait to hear impressions of that.
I listened to the entire 3 hour John Carmack keynote from Quakecon this year and he got me pretty excited about all that VR talk.

Licorice-flavoured booze?
Crysis is easily 'one' of the finest single player FPS games of this generation, in fact outside of orange box it's the only FPS this generation that I've played through more than once, I think your reaction to sp3000's post was a little ott tbh.

I anxiously await YouTube videos of people using their Oculus Rifts with the game more than the game itself.
Is this weird?

Not at all, I'm in exactly the same boat.
Glad you enjoyed it. Over the top is just how I do it, keeps things interesting.

Mine still works.
I mostly just use it for higher quality sound output for my older games nowadays, though, including Dolby Digital 5.1 on my Xbox/Xbox 360, and DTS for the SSX games on PlayStation 2.
I use my PlayStation 3 on a 42" HDTV with a 1000 watt 5.1 system in another room for most of my DVD and Blu-ray stuff. I leave my Xbox 360 in my room usually just to play in my bed, though, but sometimes I'll move it over to the other room to play in HD if I really feel like it. Considering the lack of any true graphical enhancements in Doom 3 BFG, though, I won't really have to wonder if I'm missing out on anything by playing it on my SDTV. Hah.
And yes, that last part was mostly to stay on topic somehow. Haha.
I will pick it up if I get a 3d vision kit for my benQ or a headset. Or cheap if I hear the added missions are awesome.
The media to date does not even look as good as sikkmod and the wolfen textures.
id lost purchase anything treatment with the lies about rage mod tools.
I played through doom 3 last summer and for the type of gameplay it is twice as long as it should be. More than 50% of Alpha/Delta labs could be cut with players only noticing that the game is better.

I'd side with it no matter what the other game is
For pure gameplay maybe, but obviously not from an artistic or narrative point of view.
I finished FEAR before the Xbox 360 even released, so I don't really consider it part of this generation. Although I do think it's gunplay was unmatched.
Or just makes you like like a 10 year old on Gamefaqs.
Anyway you are allowed to have awful taste and be ignorant. I won't derail this thread further.

I am really excited for it. I am a big fan of Id's work. Doom 3 was no exception.
You seem like a pleasant person.
lol what? The original Crysis is one of best modern sanbbox action games I've played. Even if you take away all the pretty graphics you still got an amazing game with an endless amount of ways to play it. I guess you like super scripted linear fps's.
To be fair, his response wasn't out of line compared to what I said earlier.
The difference between you and several other Crysis fans in this thread and sp3000 is that you said "one of" and he said "the".
I don't necessarily have a huge problem with "one of", but I do with "the".

I'll consider grabbing Doom 3 BFG when it eventually goes on sale. I am genuinely miffed that they did not put co-op in this version.
I do like Doom 3 and RoE, it's just that I already own them, and there are no compelling reasons to pay $40 for this new version, especially as the only reason I have to get it is the new Bravo Team mission.
I will say, however, that Doom 3 BFG is a great place to start for someone new to Doom, as it has 1, 2, 3, RoE, and Bravo Team.

...but no Final Doom or Master Levels?

Only excited cause it comes free with the Oculus Rift.

Yeah I'm pretty keen to get my hands on it, and it's coming at a perfect time when I'll be free to spend a couple of weeks messing around in openGL trying to make my own stuff.

Huh, sounds like a pretty good deal for someone who hasn't played it yet and wants to jump in, actually.
I was about to say that the flashlight mod was essential, good that they're including their own version.
OP should've included some comparison screenshots to show off these "greatly enhanced graphics".

uh why? It's his opinion and why does that get under your skin? Tell us what your favorite fps this generation is?
BioShock.
Instead of listing reasons why I disagree with you I'll just leave you to this review which pretty much says exactly how I feel about Bioshock. It's an hour long review but I highly advise you watch it. Basically for me Bioshock is neither a good rpg and it's definitely not a good shooter and in it's attempts to do both it ends up being a lesser game in the end.
