Dude, I'm having trouble getting it to work. I get the "put the cd in, yada yada..." when I try to run the game, even though it's in there (I didn't buy it,I burned them, just so you know). Is there any way around not having a usable cd?

use the crack included with the download, smarty pants

if you downloaded an ISO, look for a folder called "crack" on one of the cds

Guys, guys, guys..I was just about to post this.

I was almost ready to download Doom 3, but then I look at SuprNova..

Doom 3 came out TODAY, and it's been downloaded almost 45,000 times. That's 2,475,000 dollars. Do you have any idea how terrible that is? These people poured their heart and soul into this game, and it's been downloaded 45,000 times! IT CAME OUT TODAY!

I felt dirty when I saw that, and I didn't download it. Maybe I can change some people's minds.

of course people are going to download it if it's available online before in stores

I garuntee you many of those people will end up buying doom3

and I agree, piracy ir shitty, but I've accepted it as a part of the game community. There's a reason why game companies aren't pulling an RIAA and going after game downloaders: it's not hurting companies enough for it to be worth fighting.

I work in the games industry. I buy my games. I have not, and will not download doom 3.

IMO: that is partialy symptomatic oc vastly overinflated software prices at large; although, i do not know what the retail price of this game is.

The retail price is high, 55 dollars. But that doesn't justify this! Since when did everyone just accept thievery?

45,000 downloads! That number is NOT going to stop. It's going to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger.

2,475,000 dollars id/Activision lost. What a joke. And it just came out today.

goddammit

people automaitcally assume that a game downloaded is a sale lost

use your brain here. I'm not going to explain it for you. Most people that download games wouldnt have bought them anyway. Well, not most, but your calculations are still way off.

Secondly, game prices are NOT over inflated. Nobody is getting disgustingly rich in the games industry. We make game because we love. We usually only get paid for half the time we work. That's right. We stay and CHOOSE to work massive amounts of overtime because we LOVE what we do and we want to make the best fucking game we can. I'm chalking your comment up to ignorance, but don't think the games industry robs people like the music industry does. Yes, game revenue topped movie sales, but guess what? I costs a shitload of money to make a game.

When you get paid to work 40 hour weeks, but instead choose to work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and then someone accuses you of inflating your prices, it's a pretty big fucking slap in the face.

Just outa curiosity....if game prices aren't over inflated.. then how come the price always drops after a few months on the market???.. They start selling them for a loss then? Don't think so.. i'm not saying everyone should run out and download games.. but they do overinflate prices, atleast when they first hit the market.

new games come out all the time

a 6 month old game that costs $50 will NOT be able to compete with a brand new game for the same price. $50 or $10, the logic holds true.

Brain. Use.

Re: Doom3 [Re: Turd]

So when they start selling them for 30 bucks, are they taking a loss?? If not then people are correct when they say prices are inflated. Are they not?

that is up to the retailer. The publisher sells the games for a flat price to places like best buy and gamestop. It's up to them to determine how much profit they want to make.

And yes, once a game hits bargain prices, the retailer loses money. But $10 is better than $0.

a person downloading copyable software whou would not have otherwise purchased it is not generating a loss to the creator. if the person would otherwise have downloaded it and stole it instead, then a loss would be suffered. this does not apply to all of the people who downloaded the game, so the numbers are not indicative af actual losses.

i won't try to justify it moraly, i agree it's stealing, but it's not as bad as sensationalists would make it out to be. there is simply no physical stock of the product being lost wich would need to ble replaced as in the theft of real goods.

any loss of income resultant from a product's theft is a blow to the creator, and i feel bad about it, but i'll not loose sleep. in my oppinion, it is incentive for programmers [as with musicians] to create *WORKING/QUALITY* software/music and sell them for reasonable prices [as in the windows opperating system] instead of the goal of making outrageous amounts of money. this aws the orrigional goal if ID software in the first place, as while it still is for the most part, this is not true for the software industry at large.


[edit: damn turd, i should have read your post before writing that all out...]

I have friends working at ID

they are just as dedicated, if not moreso, to making great games as any other game company out there.

most people dont appreciate the work that goes into a game. There are few people more passionate about their jobs than those in the game industry.

I should also have mentioned that it's usually not up to the game studio how a game is sold. That's the publisher's job. Publishers generally don't make games, but rather they have contracts with the individual studios (or they simply own the studio, but have little direct influence in the actual game content).

I downloaded this game because its not out in this country yet, but guess what? I'm going to go out and buy it when it comes out, like all the games i enjoy i do. Sometimes im glad i actually got to try the product before purcahsing a game, some games really arent worth the prices they set the games at! ie unreal 2.

Anyway, back to the main topic, im loving this game. Im playing in 1024 on low detail and its very playable. The sound in this game is something else and the graphics altho dark are very amazing. The whole atmosphere of the game is something else.

Imo ID have raised the bar of what a game should be once again.
