ROE's Official "I got it WOOT" thread

Got home about an hour ago... played a little and me like. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I love the intro better than Doom 3's. Nice big open spaces in the caverns, moody music (you actualy get music!) in certain places.

Yea, I liked those parts as well.

I got my copy for 40 bucks (CDN) and it came with Doom 3 for free! Plus they threw in a Doom 3 poster as well.

But it was one day only (April 4th).

[Cerberus_e]

is there MUSIC in RoE? haven't noticed that, give me an example.
sometimes there is a dramatic intro music, for example, when going through that first door with a yellow circular shape (used for delta teleporters) to get to a big place with 2 staircases.
that's not really music in the background, because it doesn't loop and is really short.

So far it is excellent. I'm not too far in, but I've got the grabber. I like how it was not intended to be a weapon. It creates a feel of desparation, that you have to use anything you have. It is cool to grab energy attacks. A nice addition to the arsenal.

I understand comepletely. I love the introduction to the grabber. I have a screen of that as my desktop.
Just wait til you get the double barrel shotty. I absolutely love it.

I know, I love using it on those guys. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/love.gif The shotgun and machinegun z-sec always gave me shit in D3. But with the atrifact it's kick ass to turn it on and just kick the hell out of em.

I used the flashlight on them one time to save on ammo. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Cerberus_e]

yeah, but as soon as you get berserk and invulnerability, the fun is gone.
not for fights DESIGNED to use the artifact for, for example at one point in the enpro-look-a-like level you take an elevator down and there are like 5-6-7 revenants awaiting you, then you NEED your artifact.
but one of the biggest complaints of the soulcube was that it destroyed the fun of tougher battles (hellknight battles, just kill them instantly with your soulcube)
now it's the same with the artifact, as soon as you see a hellknight, ok INVULNERABILITY, and with the ebrserk power you can kill them with half a round of your machinegun http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif
I've only killed 2 hellknights in a legit way, without the artifact. ONLY 2, and that was in hell, a level with long corridors, so I could easily throw their plasma balls back with my gravity gun, because I couldn't miss their plasma balls, it was a lengthy corridor.

if there will be another expansion, I hope there won't be a powerful artifact (so the hellknight battles aren't destroyed) and I hope there won't be a gravity gun (so the fun of avoiding hellknight's plasma balls isn't gone too).
no problem with a double barrel shotgun though http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Duoae]

I didn't realise that the berserk powerup affected your weapons. I've just been activating the artefact and running around punching people. It's great fun especially

what opening? I forgot... is that the enpro-look-a-like level? what was the opening? put it in spoiler tags or something.

speaking of openings, it's sad that only the first level has an opening movie, opening movies at the beginning of the level should be obligated by law. red alert does a good job (you even have a movie after a level), it adds to the immersement.

and speaking of enpro-look-a-likes, how did you guys like that level? I think enpro is MUCH better because it is much more immersive: it's like the whole level can blow at any moment (alarms going off everywhere, red lights flashing ...), cool intro movie (like I said in the previous alinea it adds to the immersivement), it has an elevator that goes high (in a dark vertical tunnel, much more immersive than the elevators from the RoE level that looks like the enpro), lost souls with excellent sounds (forgotten have dumb sounds), lots of machinery everywhere and then that story plot with one card or another that swann is seeking...

[Merlijn]

what opening? I forgot... is that the enpro-look-a-like level? what was the opening? put it in spoiler tags or something.




<table><tr><th><font size="-1">Spoiler below:</font></th></tr><tr><td class="spoiler"> It's the level where you meet Mcneil and meet the bruisers for the first time. Plus the 3th hunter. The beginning is much like Delta1. In the opening no enemies are there, but everything around you is suggesting that they ARE there. You can see glimpses of Vulgars and hear their sounds echoing trough the hallways - it really made me feel uneasy (becouse Vulgars are much more dangerous then Imps </td></tr></table>


About the empro look-a-like: not sure which level you mean? I think you mean phobos3,
<table><tr><th><font size="-1">Spoiler below:</font></th></tr><tr><td class="spoiler"> the level with the huge plasma reactor and the sentrybot-with-flashlight bit? </td></tr></table>
but I'm not sure.

I agree Enpro was a very immersive level. more immersive then phobos3 indeed.
But I think the forgotten have great roaming sounds (that unearthy screach-like sound - it's spooky). I prefer lost souls tough (too bad RoE never uses them).

I'm in Hell now - the trip to delta was... awesome. Without spoiling things, it really had this "hell took over the base" feeling, it's extremely well done.

[Ronstar]

Yeah but I wished myself a more creepy beginning, Delta was great but the idea with the teleport-gates wasn't that good..., kinda uncreative, anyway I enjoyed it, only the Boss-Fight was a bit sluggish..., 10-12 FPS whole time, till this point the game ran smooth http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

You look at the first hunter; very cool design.
Then the second; it was as simple design that suited him (I did like the fact his tattoos lit up when he went into berserker mode.
