I think the people who don't like it, downloaded the warez version.  If 
you're an id fan who's been looking forward to this game for years, had 
followed the development and had a good idea what you were going to be 
getting (and possibly did some upgrading with this game in mind), and 
went out and bought the game the first week, I doubt you were 
disappointed, in fact you're probably psyched. 

If you spent a couple of days downloading the 1.8 Gb on p2p, to "see 
what all the fuss was about", loaded it up and noticed that it was 1) 
pretty dark, 2) didn't run very well on you machine, 3) was relatively 
typical fps gameplay and 4) that the storyline was be a bit familiar...; 
then you decided to go out and warn the world how awful Doom 3 was.
