I think he talks about the in-game introduction and story talling of half-life,
in doom the "story" was less then a concept. Also in the original
doom you wasn't involved in the portal incident but you was sent
to  investigate it. So it's like D1 ... -> HL .... -> D3... waste of time...
In this case, for me, it's more important how was developed the story,
you have to admit that the D3 introduction has a strong half-life feeling (as
evrybody say) but after that you reliaze that's become (good or bad) ripetitive a fps.

Well, Opening portal to new dimension, planet or time is not a so orginal begin,
also quake has is portal... (it's hard to justifay masses of monsters)
I have seen a comix of '80 with the same story :( and one of '78 like terminator,
today is very hard (or impossible) to  make something totaly new.
