Final thoughts on Doom 3
Holy shit. I finished Doom 3 today after locking myself in my room the entire weekend and coming out only to restock on Diet Coke. Staying in "The Bunker" as I refer to my dorm room, I've burned the midnight oil completing this game. And I did it all without using cheat codes!
The coolest level was by far the 3 levels of Hell. It's not the traditional Machiavillian Hell, where demons torment roasting sinners, nor is it the Dante's Inferno Hell where there are the 12 layers you must go through. Instead it's more of the Rock Band Album Cover Hell, where you have the pits of lava, the occasional dangling skeleton and the infernal castle that resembles a giant skull that you must go through. Personally I was expecting something more midieval like Pieter Bruegel or Heironymous Bosch, or something really archaic like Vlad Tepes Hell with forests of impaled bodies, but no such luck. Instead, I got Iron Maiden's Rejected Album Covers. I was expecting to see more naked bodies in Hell too although that didn't happen. Damn. If it's one thing I love seeing, it's fire and brimstone pornography. Consider it a fetish.
There weren't enough pentagrams or inverted crosses in the game either. The crosses came towards the very end when I had to fight the 20 foot Demon King while running around and avoiding the Imps. Speaking of Imps, anytime one of them would teleport into the room I was standing in, a pentagram would appear beneath their feet, so I suppose it's good enough. I usually took cover and blasted the fuckers with my shotgun. Two blasts at close range does the trick every time. When a shit load of them would team up on me, I wouldn't have time to reload so the chainsaw came in handy. Yes, there is even a fucking chainsaw in the game! Every time I used it I felt wicked evil, like Ash from Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. There's something strangely gratifying about it.
All in all, Doom 3 has my vote for Best X-Box Game 2005 so far. Let's keep it that way.
As a side note, I am starting to see new faces in the dorm here, which is good. Today I bumped into some fat balding fuck when I went to do laundry. I can tell he's brand new since he has that look on his face like "What the fuck did I get myself into". I have about 79/80 days left here and hope the time goes by that much quicker. The moment I get my orders I'll have the DAKS pick my shit up, and the only thing I will have to travel with will be my laptop, a pair of jeans and a few rock t-shirts.
I like to travel light in style.
