I agree with most of the comments, except the first using DOOM3 as an example is not a good argument. I think ID got stuck with the genre of the series and focused more on graphics since that is the selling point nowadays. The monsters in the DOOM series have never been noted for their GPA scores anyway. You can't say that AI hasn't improved either, notice he didn't use Operation Flashpoint as an example for a dumb FPS.
Agree with the patches though quality assurance should be improved, I find patches nowadays might fix a probelm or not in some cases. However in my experience they are morely likely to cause more problems, and hence another patch is need for those and so on and so forth.
