Sometimes games get widely hated for significant change. Not necessairly for better or worse, but moreso how it's presented. My example is CS:S. I'm a 1.6 fanboy, and I think I will be until I die. I was so excited for Source, which was *supposed* to be a modernization of 1.6. It...

I love most things Mario. They're always so chock full of preditible goodness: Zany character antics, simple controls, a high level of skill mastery (You can get near-godly at any Mario game), balanced, and involve a degree of randomness. Even at my most skilled games, some little 1st timer...

I don't miss them at all. I can't even remember a single time when I enjoyed a boss fight. All boss fights tend to fall into three categories: 1. Predictable, dodgable, attack pattern. These bosses beat you through monotony - since you do 2 dmg a shot and have 40k health and they...

Virgil answered pure genius. I was going to mention most of what he said, but just read his post. The only thing I might mention is something that he didn't spell out but should be obvious: The number of people who bought the Premium/Pro versions is significantly higher than all the other...

I'm not going to spend my time looking back and quoting every thing that people have been begging for in FPS... but pretty much everything that's being asked for has been done. Rather then go through and voice where everything came from and where we can expect it to go, I'm going to mention...

I'm 20, and my first game was oldschool M.U.L.E. on the Commadore 64. Hats off to anyone who remembers that system/game. Then I moved to Populus and Warlords on a 286. I was maybe... 3 or 4? I don't think I ever won, but I loved making huge castles in Populus and drowning people...

Mic spammers and shreiky 14 year olds. It's so gratifying.

Mondo Medicals. *shudder* Look it up. There are 10 'Let's Play' videos. I dare you to get to the finish.

The best kill I've gotten was in a CS scrim. It's 5v5 competative play, which makes kills even harder. It was a 3v1 clutch on dust2, and I took out two guys with relative ease but time was running out. The guy ran down long, and with no choice but to chase him I did. He got into pit and I...

Every secret in Super Mario World. There was very little more gratifying then flying under a level with a key, or completing the whole Star Road and unlocking chocolate land.

I've played CoD 2 & 4 on vet... they hold NOTHING to COD1 on vet.... NO heath anywhere. What you start the level with, is what you end the level with. So try not to get hit. Or MoH on the hardest. 1shot from a Kar98. Quicksave really was my bestfriend in any mission where there was a...

Starcraft tactics... That's a HUGE topic. Even for a single race, there are at least a half dozen strategies, and each of those can have an altered build order, depending on what you like, how you play, and what your opponent is doing. I play Zerg, and while I'm no pro, I know a little...

Another old gamestyle that I want back is the 'Adventure' style. I know there are a few, but none in my mind stand up to the Lucasarts adventure games. Oh, Monkey Island... how I loved you. As for health bars, I wholely agree. As for life systems, why not revitalize the life system...

Fable let me down too. Also, Worms: World Party was a sad following to Worms Armeggedon.

As it has been said many times, online is what you make it. I have played with some VERY serious people and some laid back people, but the levels they played at were very different. But there are some very competative people in the FPS side of gaming. Also, as for the single player with...
