![]() ![]() Moreover, the BFG Edition is still the only way to experience the Lost Mission expansion. Prior to the Unity port of DOOM II, there was no legal way to play No Rest for the Living on PC unless you owned DOOM 3: BFG Edition. There's also the matter of the new content it introduced. You don't need to make multiple purchases, install and configure additional software, copy your WAD files somewhere, or create shortcuts with command line arguments. You can play DOOM 3, RoE, Lost Mission, Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II, and NRFL all from the same executable. ![]() While I dislike many of the changes made, the BFG Edition of DOOM 3 is still worthwhile for one simple reason: convenience. At least they didn't de-list DOOM 3 and Resurrection of Evil on Steam when the BFG Edition came around, am I right? I think they wasted resources putting it on PC. Bethesda and id didn't have to put it on PC, given that the originals were already available on Steam. Since the 7th gen at the time were powerful enough to get DOOM 3 up and running as it was originally designed, the BFG Edition should've stayed on consoles. I think DOOM 3: BFG Edition should've been a console exclusive only. There's already source ports for DOOM 3 that fix some of the issues the original had, EVEN AT VERSION 1.3.1. The BFG Edition may have an uncapped frame-rate, an FOV slider, and all that, but who's to say that source ports will have those features soon added some time in the future? It would render the BFG Edition on PC completely obsolete. I understand that PC owners are appalled with the BFG Edition, but given that the original DOOM 3 and Resurrection of Evil are both available on Steam for $5 a pop, to me it isn't really worth getting worked up over. Yeah, the Vicarious Visions port of DOOM 3 to the original Xbox was impressive, but wasn't the full package if that makes sense. Those two consoles were, at the time, powerful enough to get DOOM 3 running properly as it was originally designed. DOOM 3: BFG Edition did not need to be on PC. Around the time that the BFG Edition was released(circa 2012)the 7th generation of consoles were more-or-less on their way out, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. ![]()
