And WHY are so many systems wanting to have DOOM *sigh* its candy money .. havent seens such kind of numbers before, huh? Look, when you deal with game industry then you should know that people really going to love it then it goes to like $16 mil. Seems that they dont. DooM is mean for people whose fingers and eye-finger coordination is much stronger than their brainwork. Most of strategy games are vv. I must admit that I download doom, and got hooked eventually, but deleted it after week, because it really didnt gave me something really new. It became repetitive and frustating. Dont tell me rubbish about cheat keys and uv. Yes I ended the game with uv mode on, I didn't use he cheat keys AND I ENDED FIRST EPISODE WITH GUN ONLY (those two big bozos in end as well). I smashed everyone in deathmatch too. Its eveore even moree boring, because there is only four mean enemies. I think three players again on (and they should cooperate with monsters .. :)) will make me try it for one more wekk. Anyway, the people whos IQ is higher than average want their "hardware" supported as well - like researchers, programmer, etc. I have big expectations on QUAKE. I hope it more andventure than just shooting around game. I expect whole shitload of enemies, guns armours, hi-tech eq, drugs, potions, maps, hints. I also expect neutral or even friendly chars you must protect and who'll give you vital clues about strotu story and who may even cooperate with u. And I open it will be open game as well, so when I end some adventure I can eventually download new from some ftp site and get hooked again. with new story and new pace. Thats something DooM misses. : ported to their platforms?

If I : wanted to act out a story I'd read a book. This really sux ... I love interactive stories. Books are for weenies who lack creativity.
