Alot people I've talked to have been like "omg omg I played Doom 3 and shat my pants!"... I just jumped in my chair a few times but that was it, no panic and screaming at all, not even goosebumps.
It got pretty predictable too, cause there was an Imp almost around every corner and behind every door.
The flashlight... gah, come on, it's the future and all you get is a Maglite for dark areas? And the player is disabled or something, cause you can't use both the flashlight and the pistol at the same time, as law enforcement does today.
Oh, and the "experiments-gone-wrong-and-we-opened-a-portal-to-another-world" concept is old. But since D3 is based on the D1&2 storylines...
Summary:
Use flashlight > "Oh look , another Imp, gee I think I've killed 10 000 of these already!" > Switch to shotgun > "Uh oh, no flashlight! where did that Imp go?" > Press attack-button > Blood-splatter > "Ah there it is!"
To me, this was just another overall shooter. I am more like a "COME GET SOME!" gamer, and I don't get scared easily.
