I really like it when developers...

Well if you play for fun they'll be an extra instead of grinding for them.. -this doesnt include diablo. which is a grinding simulator in disguise.

I also like it when a game has a lot of replayability. And if it's a PC game, I also like it when you can make visual/audio changes that suit you.

1. Make a masterpiece by accident (Deus Ex)
2. Make a fuckton of good/creative content (Just Cause 2, Super Metroid)
3. Push the hardware they have to its limits (Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean)

At the risk of being even more of a pariah around here, I actually liked Doom 3. It was an entirely different flavor but that didn't really matter to me.

I agree. I don't see what all the Doom3 hate is about. It stood on its own, as a shooter in its own right, with dramatic re-imaginings of the original monsters and weapons.

And it was damn fun to play.

I also had no problems with Doom 3, heck I say that it was a good reimagining of Doom if it was made in newer hardware.

I don't think it was a shit game or anything, I enjoyed it. But I didn't really like the gameplay which was mostly running back and shooting. You're supposed to be running into the fray not away.

Make weapons niche based instead of hierarchical. Also, when said weapons are never obsolete.

This. I also like when developers can take risks to make something different rather than rehash the same old army shooter or sports game.
