DR> the overall gameplay lacks story and development that others (like 3

Dude...are you on some type of illegal drug or something? That's some 
of the biggest bulls/-/1t i've ever heard. An enviroment that makes 
sense? Well sure, I mean the doom enviroment is probably beyond your 
capability, taking place in hell and all. I guess you're just used to 
being stuck in strip bars and movie joints. The doom enviroment is the 
first thing in a video game that has ever actually SCARED me. God, I 
remember the first time i've played it. Creeping around corners and 
crap like I was going to be dead no matter what...anyways. I thought 
that DooM actually had a cool story, not very realistic but fun. This 
is the game that started it all. Personally, story doesn't really 
matter as long as you've got good gameplay. If all you expect is to 
watch a interactive movie, go buy the 11th guest or something and shut 
the hell up.
