I have been thinking.If they had decided to make Doom 3 like the previous Doom games would people have liked it more?I personally think not.I feel that for todays standards a simple shooter isn't enough.The first Doom game was very succesfull because it was the first game to do what it did.Doom 3 doesn't have that edge.They were kind of forced to go this way with the game.You see Far Cry was a good game but people have already forgotten about it.I have anyway.I liked Doom 3 it's just not a game you'll play thru a second time.The first time i played i was stunned at how good the game was but now i don't touch it anymore.I don't know,maybe it just wasn't meantt to be.The game oozes quality though.
On the subject,i have recently played Doom with the JDoom mod.It was quite fun.
