Doom 3 Gets Reviews, Piracy Questions, Exultation
Yeti Von Baseball writes "Now that Doom 3 has officially shipped to stores, Computer Gaming World just posted its Doom 3 review - they also posted about 100 or so new screens." Elsewhere, GameSpy has an in-progress weblog and first-look impressions on the "claustrophobic corridors" of the game, Telefragged posted one of the first reviews, praising "a grand slam of action, story, atmosphere, and pure terror", the BBC reports on how "potential sales could be hit by the extent of online piracy of the game", and Time Magazine has a feature on Doom 3 and id.
So if one week justifies theft, how long would it take to justify murder? I'm just trying to figure out the sliding scale of morality based on time you seem to use.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
Gimme a fucking break. Whiny bitch. "I can't wait ten days to play the game, I think I'll steal it instead." Shut the fuck up and die.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
I'da moderated this to a 6 insightful but they don't go any higher.
:P
<grrr>
Guess I'll use my points to quash trolls instead.
Your an idiot in so many ways. 1. "You can only steal a noun". Data/information/code/game are all nouns. 2. "You cannot steal an authors inspiration". This point is not only wrong, but it doesn't make any sense. When you steal the product of someones labor, whether it be a T.V., a house, their artwork (digital or canvas) you are taking something for your pleasure and denying them their just reward. Thief. 3. "Find me a case where someone bootlegging CDs was charged with burglary and I'll retract my statement". Burglary is defined as "The act of entering a building or other premises with the intent to commit theft". Make a few more stupid and deceptive comments and you might just become Michael Moore
John, it sounds like you're not planning another open source hackfest like the one you did with the utah-glx guys after Quake 3? I was sort of hoping you'd feel moved to do something on one of the new X forks. Anyways, just curious.
Glad you haven't quit to make rockets and raise babies just yet. Happy hacking.
Master Chief was and still is a worthless tool.
That being said, how many hours of entertainment did you get for your $55?
If it's more than one, you've probably gotten some good enjoyment out of it, keep the game until someone does some mod using the engine that you like.
It's really not such a bad deal once you just relax.
But Master Chief really is a tool. (Can't stand Halo, or FPSes on Consoles, does it show?)
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
