I fully understand the concept of the game and its origins. Its just after playing more sophisticated first person shooters, I tend to need more than simply "kill everything in site, move on" type shooters. Like I said I fully appreciate the graphics and am enjoying the game..........I just don't think its the BEST GAME in this particuliar genre out today. Like I said, Far Cry is getting more of my time than Doom 3. Maybe its the whole tropical island settings and the ability to interact with such that has me enthralled.But like I said...this is just my opinion.
No harm no foul Shanks.......I still would like to get together and have beer with you....if I happen to find myself in the UK.

I'd never accept any game is 'The Best game Ever' ....so many games are around, that can offer so many things that other games dont give.
yeah I agree that Far Cry gives you more of an opportunity to do different things and interact with parts of the game..... meaning you give it more time, because it's a much bigger game. There was no other game before this that brought about such lush environments due to the engine.... this is what was needed to capture a fresh audience and gamer, that had seen so many games before.
Doom3 on the other hand, already had it's target audience.....John Carmack new before he started working on D3, who his target audience was going to be....... these people were the ones who grew up with Doom 1&2, and he knew what these people wanted and it was inevitable a few years ago, that I.D. would deliver the Game and put these 'hardcore' fans back in the environment they wanted to be back in..... back with monsters & demons with weaponry that would do some damage, just like in 1&2.
imo D3 should be as it is.... and how Carmack envisiaged what Doom 1 would look like with todays technology and engine, a total revamp of the original Doom.
I.D. have done a superb job.

btw be up for a beer anytime :)
