I've neer played Farcray, Painkiller...well bascially any FPS for the last 2 years...I'm not a big fan of them and tend to get bored of them after a few mins.
however I plan to get Doom3 and mostly because the interviews I've seen and developer diary's I've read express how much time and effort ID has worked to making Doom3 one hell of a fun and freaky ride.
Graphics come and go and in 2 years people will be calling the quailty of D3 ad HL2 crap...however a game with a solid story and great gameplay can last decades...
long live Gunstar Heroes!!!
