Too unlike DOOM 1 & 2 and generally extremely dark and id was going through some weird shit at the time.

doom 3 still has the best designed imps in the series

gay lantern lmao
it'd be alright if it was called something other than doom

Tried too hard to be a horror game

it didn't though it sold great

Good horror game, bad DOOM game.

bad shotgun

it didn't fail
it was just different to the other games
still awesome on it's own though

Define fail. Most things that end up being treasured and culturally relevant are underwhelming in their time.
