Quote from Sa74nDisplay Morewhat ever happened to games with a proper storyline and deep characters?
theyre too rare. you only get mainstream garbage. are the games getting worse or why cant i find any games anymore that i can enjoy like little big adventure, half-life, max payne, mafia, most lucasarts adventures or even chrono trigger back in the day?
tried stalker but got bored of it. company of heroes was nice but i'm more of a casual gamer and got pissed off when i couldnt get past a mission. armed assault was disappointing too (having been a big fan of flashpoint).
bully was fun when i played it at the office but i dont have a ps2 or even a tv myself - not that i actually want one.
i got the feeling that a lot of game developers/publishers these days are wanking off on their games graphics but people forget that in the end its worth sh** if the gameplay cant hold up. take stranglehold for example. besides the nasty bloom it actually looks pretty decent but i doubt it can hold up with the class and style of a max payne. but its just a guess. shouldnt judge it until i actually played it.
just me ranting. anyone sharing my views?
actually, i just don't like a game which is a spin-off from a movie.
i played stalker, i liked it, but it had its issues. i loved Company of Heroes ![]()
i love the total war games (i am a strategist) there for i loved supreme commander (but my rig is not good enough to handle 1000 units..). Further more i like fast-paced FPS (ala Q3A and UT).
i play allot of RPG's (BG series, Icewind dale series, NWN series, planescape torment, i did not play flatout, i really should i guess), and i recently played jade empire (i liked the style) and dreamfall (not much fightning, but the story is really good
)
never played mafia, and maxpayne is just awesome ![]()
