I've come to the determination that the more modern id games aren't for a lot of people. The people that like them really like them, and then there are the others that just plain don't like them. There isn't much of a middle ground with them. I just find that the overall id aesthetic pulls me in a bit more than a lot of other games. It's not necessarily down to just this or that graphical feature, (though they do play a part,) or how many polygons they used to drawn an imp, etc. It's some collection of their art style, the things they DO choose to focus their engines on, etc. I also like their simplistic play style.
I like how they went to more than just graphics and run and gun (Serious Sam was fun, but like you said - it does get repetitive and boring). They did a good evolution of the games. It just wasn't for me. They are ok games, but I just couldn't get into them.
Maybe I am not a fan of the corridor style games anymore. It just seemed too much like it was "Go this way, then that way" and planned, rather than open like Far Cry, Just Cause and other games.
I really can't pinpoint why I don't care for Doom 3, Rage and those newer games....
