Oh, you liked Doom 3? That was the most disappointing game of all time for me. Forget I said anything, hehe.
My favorite games aren't all violence and gore either. But DooM is meant to be like that, that's the way I see it. And slow-paced horror FPSes like DooM 3 bore the crap out of me.
If I want something smart I'll play an RTS or an RPG (my favorite two genres, preferable to FPS by far), if I want something mindless I'll play FPS.
There's nothing I hate more than all these games trying to be like movies.
I agree with Id software that a game should be like a porno--the story should be secondary. I love intellligent games but storylines are not important to me at all. If I want intelligence I want strategy and tactics. I'm here to play not to watch the graphics and cutscenes like it's a goddamned movie.
Only games where the story is extremely important to me is the classic point and click adventure games like Monkey Island, Simon the Sorceror, Day of the Tentacle, Broken Sword, etc.
Oh and stories are also fine in hilarious games--like South Park Stick of Truth. That game is the one game that's like a game and a movie in one that I truly love. I prefer the movie of that game than the actual South Park movie--because it's far newer and South Park has gotten so much funnier since the original movie.
If you haven't played Stick of Truth, here's all the cutscenes put together in full movie size, it's fucking amazing if you love South Park:
