OT - Doom 3: am I missing something?

[Artaud]

I bought Doom 3 a while back and loaded it as soon as I got home. I expected to get a louder, bloodier, more scary shootfest than the Doom 2 I came to love in years past.

Instead I got a boring 'story line' that required me to interact with characters and go here and there to pick up weapons and a PDA. I don't know what else the game involves, because I shut it off and have not played since.

What a disappointment! I hate single-player games where you interact with characters and have a 'story line' to follow.

I am generally not into shooters, but sometimes you are just in the mood to mindlessly kill stuff. That's what I expected Doom 3 to be! What a waste of money!
