Doom 3 and Bioshock are probably two of the most over-hyped games of all time and are dull, in the same way a slasher movie is dull. Some people like this, in the same way some people like slasher movies.
I'm glad that ID have decided not to repeat the same mistakes as in Doom 3 however despite their technical excellence and innovation, to me ID have yet to produce a really great game I enjoyed playing. It's like they work so hard to develop the technology they didn't have much time to make a good game. Now ID (like Unreal) is mostly focused in making engines and not games. I think that Doom 4 will likely be another repitive shooter that's graphically impressive and boring to play.
