Got done with Doom 3 a couple days ago. Get this - I got the 'Speed Run' trophy (complete Doom 3 in under ten hours) with only seconds left on the clock. Not a great achievement until you understand that I was being very meticulous for 90% of the game, soaking up all the atmosphere. I was trying to get the trophies for finding all the PDAs and video discs. Failed at that, and knew I had. So while in Delta Labs (already over 8 hours in) I decided to try for the Speed Run. I must have done the bit leading up to Excavation, and the latter itself a million times. With less than ten minutes left, hoardes of demons, two Vagaries and the Cyberdemon had to be killed. Not easy! I was on Veteran, as well. Fuck my life, but I did it.
I've been playing Ultimate Doom since then. I'm on the second map of the fourth episode, called 'Perfect Hatred'. It's completely kicking my ass. Hats off to anyone who's done this one! It's been a while since I've played old Doom. Been getting lost a lot. Shows you how hard these old games are. It's been awesome playing it, though.
