    eh it's Doom for gods sake. I really dunno wtf people were expecting, some kind of blockbuster don corleone story that would win more oscars than ben hur. It's friggin DOOM!! the game where you pump soldiers on crack and ugly motherfuckers straight outta compton HELL, full of lead. It's not Final Fantasy, it's not Deus Ex. It's like the gaming version of all Arnold Schwarzenegger movies ever made. We all know we don't watch his movies for his deep insight heart wrenching masterpieces. We like gore and violence!! that's what DOOM IS!!! GORE AND VIOLENCE!!!!! so enough with the fucking whining and moaning about how it had a bad story and was repetitive. You want a fucking story, go watch bridges of madison county.
