Darque Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Less systems means less impulse buying too! To be honest (and humble), I've been pretty happy with my game purchases over the past little bit. Not many I can think of off the top of my head that I haven't enjoyed.... It's easier to be picky when not being blasted in 4 different directions from quality titles. Plus my TV sucks. My monitor is seriously better, and it's just an ordinary 17" CRT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can understand this as well I could have bought a new car for all the games I've gotten these past 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Because pussies run the gaming industry now. Not quite. It's not pussies running the industry. It's pussies lobbying against games that are slightly not PC. The people who run the industry are just in that to make money, and they don't want their games bombed because they included features that pussies consider unacceptable. On a side note, there is a mod to restore the "sex" minigame in VC. But from what I've seen, it was pretty lame. PS. Darque, quit hijacking every thread into a discussion about RE. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think this is true, especially of the US. (For a start the US has some pretty interesting ideas on what is worthy of an R rating, but that's a side issue.) Apparently, for example, the vocal minority that complained about the superbowl boob () numbered a few tens of thousands. Also, something like 98% of the complaints all came from a single (extremely conservative Christian extremist) organisation. So not all US citizens are screwy, there's just a lot of big-mouth numbskulls shooting their opinions off in public. Squeaky wheel and all that ...

alanschu Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Meh, I still contend that I cannot say whether or not Duke Nukem Forever will be true to the "real" Duke until I at least see the game in action. And even then, I likely won't care as long as it's a fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 It's a function of an imbalance in the reporting of minorities in the media. A democracy requires that minorities are represented, and that they aren't drowned out, just because they are a minority. However, they should be drowned out because they're stupid (technical term).

metadigital Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Duke's not really Survival HORROR, is it? It's more Survival COMEDY ("Come get some!", deconstrunctionist misogynist stereotypes, etc).

Baley Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Prey has a lot more chances at both critical and commercial succes. I like Duke. I don't really like FPS Duke. The arcade games will always come first for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fishboot Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I think Duke has a great place these days, since the FPS genre has definitely taken a turn for the serious and weighty lately. The genre needs a good parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
