Just because a product is as intended doesn't mean that it is good.  You
should know that by now (unless you have trouble seeing past your profane
anger.)

The game, as it has monsters in the exact same locatrion from game to game,
will not be scary the second time around as you will know the exact
positions of the monsters every single time.  This wouldn't normally be a
problem if it weren't for the invention of unrestricted QuickSave/QuickLoad
that appears in every single game.  Since this is the case, they have
failed to make the game as they wanted it to be.

A game where you just shoot things is a step backward from the original
Doom.  As you should know, the original game was designed to be run-and-gun
but was designed in a way where impressive demos could be recorded for
finishing levels in record time.

And that means a lot coming from a self-confessed warez monkey.
