agree with that, loved the no one lives forever games (there was a sequel), the first max payne game, and XII were all great storylines whereas quake and doom....
Well, id software games have never been known for engaging stories that's for sure. Basically, it is shooting gallery time with cool monsters and good graphics (for their respective release times) and that's about it. I'm fine with that myself. Sometimes I enjoy simple fun and don't need any deep story or reason to go on a mindless killing spree.
