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.
 
Just as a personal review, I recenlty played Quake 4, and I had no fun at all.

After playing No One Lives Forever, Half-Life/Half-Life2, Portal and Bioshock, I dont see how I can find Quake4 interesting

The above titles have the following positives:

-Very interesting weapons, with diferent types of ammo
-Complex Storyline
-You have to think where you are going, several puzzles

with Quake 4 all you do is press "Forward" and the Fire button and eventually you win the game. No thinking, no creativity, no challenge

So, if you havent cplayed any of the above Shooters, I recommend you check them out!

Thanks for reporting back!
