Well if I get more FPS with it off then I'll have it off. I play mostly all my games with shadows off so I don't care for them. Plus christ it's not like I won't play the game again. When I get a better comp I'll play the game with shadows on.

Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that.

Oh and here's an update. I put it to 800x600 and put on shadows and it ran just as bad as 1280x1024 with shadows.

haha what are you, blind? 
every single thing (almost) in the game casts shadows when they are on but when they are off you wont see any shadows on things like chairs and many other things.
the darkness in the game is not caused by shadows dude, thats just darkened areas
there is a huge difference betwean soft shadows and darkened areas.
softshadows is what you turn on when shadows are on, its the shadows that can move and is cast from all the objects in the game, things like chairs, desks, lamps, boxes, enemies, haitech machines etc etc.

Aw what a shame, and you went to all that effort of downloading it too.

I know with shadows on chairs, desks, etc and I know the darkness in the game is not caused by shadows (didn't I say that in the post?). I just don't give a damn. I'd rather have the game run smooth than play with shadows. For me they don't effect my gameplay experience. I've play the game with shadows on for a little bit and it didn't change my experience at all.

What a disappointment |
I suggest to keep playing. Where are you at? The middle is a little slow. Once you get to the Delta Labs it gets better and even better once you get to Hell. I'm a little past Hell and really enjoying the game. I didn't expect a FPS game like Half-Life or Far Cry. I expected a FPS like Doom and that's what I got

bit late chiming in here but i got home this weekend from a holiday so i thought id play it for a bit til i posted any comments, and well overall while it does have some amazing elements i have to say that most of the negatives i'm inclined to agree with. The main one is repetitiveness. That said there's some suprisingly good elements in the game, i cant wait for other games to utilise the d3 engine and see what it can really do. The shadows n lighting were good, the enemy models were superb. Now id just like to see this engine handle multiple environments. My verdict 7/10

I finished doom3 in about 4-5 days and not once did I consider it repetitive.
Even though the gameplay is pretty simple (shoot everything) the insane number of scripted events combined with the atmosphere was enough to keep me excited playing all the way though.
Im curious, for those of you who think doom3 is repetitive, do you guys also consider other first person shooters repetitive? (halflife, halo, etc) For the most part they all have similar gameplays.
The last first person shooter i played that i had to stop playing because i got bored was painkiller. It was really fun for a bit...but i just couldnt play it for very long without getting sick of it. Never got that feeling with doom3!

Here's an interesting review:
http://www.ccgr.org/article_read.asp?id=584
The best quote has to be:
"As a twenty-one year old I have to say I was freaked out, disturbed, and horrified by Doom III’s content. I can’t imagine what a thirteen year old would feel like. After hours of exposure to this game, I could see a child’s attitude and personality change because of this game."

I'd kill to have the frame rates you get on your machine 
and that the last boss was too easy i beat him the first time but i suppose i found it easy because i read nearly every pda message 
BTW does anyone know a site that i can send my appreciation to the guys at ID (it's not on their site???)
I swear to god I jump all the time at the part where it teaches you to use the flash light I’m like FUCK THIS! Ha-ha-ha maybe that’s the same reason why I haven’t beaten undying
