It was just stupid jump scares. It wasn't even scary because you just knew it was coming on every long hallway.

And darkness. Thanks for the most useless flashlight in history!

And Doom 3 isn't even that fun gameplay-wise...

The first mod the game ever had, to my knowledge, was the Duct Tape mod that put the flashlight on some of (but not all of) the guns because a common joke about the shitty flashlight mechanics was "there ain't any duct tape on Mars? Cmon!" 🤣
