Not this again. We had a thread about it. It wasn't even an example of a classic game. Diablo II is as much classic as Final Fantasy VII, it does not matter that you do not like them, for many people they are prime examples of classics... Just different cup of tea than you like... If you think it's ****, it's your oppinion and no one is taking it away from you, so is the opinion of other people who like theses games and point them as best of the best games, which are in their own personal top 5 of all time... Hold your little horses there Mr. Jumps-to-conclusions. First of all what I said was about you dissing HL2. Secondly, I love both of the games. I said that they weren't examples of classic games because I was using them in another argument with Gizmo, not nominating them. Diablo II is too old and HL2 might just as well be nominated. Also, the internet continues being serious business.

It's a miracle they actually let you our of your programming cage for long enough to make posts.

Farcry is from 2004. You may just as well take The Chronicles of Riddick and World of Goo off the list and add Portal, Mass Effect.

The success or failure really depends on the developer's goals for the game. If an indie developer is making a game to make a statement, the game could be a success just by people experiencing it. Not this again. We had a thread about it. It wasn't even an example of a classic game.

I disagree with that one. Any game designed from the get-go as a compromising "crowd pleaser" is usually mediocre [like FO3] or occasionally utter crap. If a game design is brilliant, but the current crop of consumers cannot appreciate it, that does not reflect bad on the game IMO, and is no different than kids preferring to eat paste over p

You get extra DLC with the downloadable version, though.

The Pound really has tanked

Which I never disputed. I said it was like Doom 3 as in a corridor shooter, not that they were identical.

That is actually a chick-game, the ones I listed are awesome games that happen to have female protagonists.

Isn't that how Fallout 3 works?

I can see how a man could become a wrinkly red monster without the joy that these games bring. Please try them. All but NOLF are available on Steam for ~$10.

Nope. Prey is much, much better than Doom 3 - in fact the third Doom is no where near as good as this "clone." Could you maybe elaborate on the greatness, instead of throwing out blanket statements one after another? Prey was better than Doom3 because many of the gameplay mechanics didn't force the character to use something useless (flashlight). Also some of the designs for the weapons and the puzzles were kinda cool (figuring out how to get across a room by going on the right wall, roof, then left wall was interesting). It ran off the Doom3 engine so the characters looked almost vulcan, the characters also had a personality (albeit they were each terrible). Prey was IMHO a better game than Doom3. But then both were run of the mill shooters. Being better than Doom 3 doesn't make any game a classic, though. Take for example Farcry, as annoying as the Trigen were, it brought something new to the table(open world shooter) and despite other shortcomings, made it work. Prey might just as well be Doom 4, it doesn't distinguish itself from the rest of the shooters, I remember it as the corridor shooter with the Native American stuff.

Never played No One Lives Forever 1/2, The Longest Journey, Portal or Beyond Good And Evil? I weep for you.

Just wait until you get the Blood Dragon armor in ME2:

You can get a decent desktop for pretty cheap these days, especially in the States. Should you want to, of course.

To be fair, most games that handle it don't take it seriously either(God of War, San Andreas).

It seems somewhat weird to make a single post(thread) and lurk in the shadows instead of offering further explanation or participating in the conversation. Might just as well send an email to the developers.

It was just an off-hand comment, made because I actually had to figure out what TC meant.

And I was just stating the sad truth.

Back in the civilized world we used to call the thread starter OP or original poster. So, you are suggesting that I am uncivilized because I said TC instead of OP? Go find another bag of straws to grab at, as you are grasping at thin air with that one. What is the big deal, my friend? Can't handle a little humor in regards to what is obviously quite a humorous post? Or do you just feel the need to be an ass for no apparent reason? The "civilized world" part was obviously a joke. Maybe you should not take everything so seriously? You'd think that someone making jokes would also recognize one.

It's somewhat ironic that Midway is now bankrupt, the Ghostbusters PS3 version is still not full 720p after a patch. Also, Killzone 2 was a PS3 exclusive, the developers of exclusive titles are known to hype their preferred platform to the high heavens. Here's a quote from someone actually working at Sony:

Welcome to America.

That is an excellent question. When stating facts, it's nice to provide the source.
