No, the "Imp randomly pops up behind you" part of Doom got old really fast.

That's a fair comment, actually but I liked some of the pda humour and the visuals, particularly chunks of hell which were rather impressive. The sounds were good and spooky, too. The last game that had me trying to look around the side of my monitor before Doom3 was Doom2.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?.

You ever play System Shock 2?  It'd look dated now, but it was scary as hell when it came out.  The graphics are based on the Dark Engine (from Thief), but the sounds are still excellent.

Half-Life 2 - so much potential yet wasted on a boring get from point A to point B and kill everything in between game.

Any of the online battleground games like Battlefield 2.  Nothing against the game but just got tired of having to kill hyperactive jumping/crouching/running kiddies.  Any game where jumping around like a fool improves your chance of survival gets a no from me.

Any of the Tomb Raider series.  Nearly impossible to control and figure out what to do.

No [me]does quick google for screenies - aah-ha!, early zombie flensing...[/me] but I did play some of Thief 1 & 2. They didn't grab me so I donated them to a friend's small children who apparently had oodles of fun with those games.

Deus Ex 2 - Invisible War - how to take a bloody good game and completely and utterly turn it into the most boring and easiest sequel to complete ever!

Then Splinter Cell - looked forward to that and it was so easy i finished the thing completely in stealth mode without killing anyone (even though it does register that i killed one of the objectives - when i had only knocked him out - bit silly that)

Diablo agree with Cheez...
HL2 - have got a bit bored with it now i am outside and have a squad - i dont want a squad - meh i'll just use them for cannon fodder whilst i pick off people with my crossbow.

[ps. both system shocks were cool and i also loved the thief games as i love stealth games]

If you're playing BF2 for the hand to hand combat, you're missing 70% of the game.

I'd disagree about Doom3 - I liked it a lot (and Resurrection of Evil); the darkness can be tweaked by ramping up the gamma (but too much, as with any other game and everything looks crap pretty quickly). I think you didn't like it, Ober, because you're just big girl's blouse who's scared of his own shadow. :tongue2:


I may have been pissed at that game because of my shitty monitor at the time.  Now that I've bought a new monitor that is not as dark, I may have to try it again.

Yeah, I admit to only briefly playing BF2, just the whole genre annoys me so I couldn't get past that.

SS2 did the PDA thing years ago.  You also frequently ran into the owner's ghosts.

They set it up so well for a sequel - I doubt it'll ever come, though :(

Hehe. :D!

is that penn? how'd they conn him into doing that?

another unpopular opinion: rpg's are boring and your time is better spent dealing with real people than collecting points in a world which is well-constructed but doesn't give you the freedom to do random stuff (like digging a really large hole, and then pushing someone into it, for instance)


it would actually kick ass to have a real 3d multiplayer enviroment where you could build buildings and steeples and etc and show them off and collect tourism points
