at this point ive beaten doom1/2 thousands of times but i beat this shyt once and never played it again:unimpressed:
Even the studio know that game was trash, that's why doom 64 is the canonical 3rd game in the series and this shyt is never mentioned.

first game was revolutionary, if a bit dated today

third game is a stone cold classic

Cant find good comparison but the character models looks wack in 3, but it may just the style they chose

Might just be the upgrade in graphics but that last guy doesn't look like the first 3
They weren’t gonna compete with GTA in their realm. There’s a reason nobody else tries. It’s a level of effort along the lines of starting a YouTube competitor
They didn't have to compete they had their own fanbase and could've built on what they had and made their money. Instead they decided to change the whole formula and lose everyone.

I remember when I copped 3 first, I decided to cop 2 to have an idea what’s going on. It instantly became my GOAT game so I was looking forward to 3 especially after hearing 1 was the same as 2.

Within the first 30 min of playing SR3 I was on :dwillhuh:

It’s insane to me how they dropped the ball like that and all but destroyed the franchise. And even after hearing fans disappointment with 3, rather than go back to the gangsta shyt, they decide to make you a superhero and President. :gucci:

If they just made it how fans wanted and dropped every 2-3 years we would already have 7 or 8 in the series, most being fire ass games with 3 being the only dud. And even that prolly woulda been forgiven if they made it right with 4 and beyond.

It was like 9 years between 4 and the last one mainly because they almost purposely made fans lose hope in the series because they thought that corny ass humor of 3 and 4 was funnier than it was :snoop:

3 wasn’t a terrible game it was just a terrible follow up to Saints Row 2

If it were called something else it woulda been a decent game

Them going in that direction and refusing to listen to what the fans want is what led to SR4

Uncharted 3 was dope, it was just missing boss battles, it was definitely better than 4
the sinking ship might be my favorite set piece out of the whole franchise
