doom 3 was in production for 4 long awaited years and was suppose to change the gaming world forever but since its release doom 3 has definitely not lived up to the hype. i will say that the game looks incredibly real but the gameplay contains flaws. IF THIS HAPPENED TO DOOM 3 IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO HALF LIFE 2?

Halo 2 will probably be the same. People have such high expectations for it, that it won't be as good as hoped for. Happens to a lot of good games. People think it will be better than it is, and then get dissapointed when it doesn't turn out like they thought. Doom 3 is a great game, it just didn't live up to what the public thought it'd be.

The only time gamers can blame a company for a disappointing game is if the company promised features that it didn't deliver. However, if fans speculate and build up a huge hype about something and it doesn't deliver, so long as the gaming company didn't make promises it couldn't keep, it is the fault of the gaming community. Its disappointment was due to the baseless expectations they made.

Half-life 2 will be an amazing game and potentially one of the greatest fps' ever. But it will not live up to the hype because that is based on the communal reaction, and since there are always divisions of differring opinion within any community it is theoretically impossible for anything to live up to any degree of hype.

Saying Doom 3 did not live up to the hype is completley superfluous as that is entirely based on what you personally gathered from the media and your own built up expectations. I thought it was incredible.

Apart from amazing visuals I think there needs to be something else, an entirely new element for the FPS genre to advance substantially. I think if FPS introduced a whole new way of ineracting with other character and objects, it would be amazing. Like being able to have conversations with characters that change the whole course of the game, not pre determined point and click convos, mind.
... i'l just go back to my hole.
