I think the real problem is Id was trying to create a cinematic horror game, more similar to an FPS Resident Evil type game, and people seem to have been expecting a Quake1-style action shooter (or maybe a HL1-style wander-around-in-the-desert-for-15-hours-then-go-to-the-
dimension-of-jump-puzzles-and-get-bored-or-frustrated-and-
quit-yet-still-rave-that-it's-the-greatest-game-of-all-time-
somehow-forgetting-that-you-used-noclip/god-for-the-last-
2-hours-of-gameplay-if-you-bothered-completing-it-at-all shooter).
