Posting just to say - never played the second game on account of the horrible, horrible PC port, got this one and enjoyed it immensely. I guess I should count myself grateful that I never played the second game to have my experience colored by it? Heh.

No real depth? Define 'depth'. Or are you saying Halo and Gears of War have no depth, either? In Left 4 Dead, you must work together with your teammates. You must pace yourselves. You must make use of every resource available to you at any one point in time. (At least on Expert). There's...

Are you sure it's not the other way around? Because I've been following SC2's progress very, very, very closely. Something as major as 'the downfall of StarCraft II' is something that would not pass me by. So, then, in other words, you're conceding that you have no decent argument, and...

What the hell is with the discussion of Blizzard's future products in this thread? Anyway, for the topic of this thread, I can some it up very briefly (from the eyes of an MMO vet): Been there, done that. I didn't find it as engaging as Eve Online or Star Wars Galaxies. Take from that what...

Hmmmm... Speaking as someone who's played Everquest, its sequel, Vanguard, Star Wars Galaxies, Eve Online, and, yes, WoW, I can tell you... very little. When I first played the game, I saw it from the perspective of an MMO vet -- the very first thing I felt playing through it was a sense of...

Then I have absolutely no fucking clue what the hell's going on with your game, because mine's perfectly stable. Really, I'm totally, utterly confused. WTF?

Gaming blind could be solved partially through more accurate sound reproduction for echolocation, but that still doesn't solve the fact that many blind people use touch to move around. So... I am curious as well. How could they possibly solve the problem for blind gamers?

How bizarre. I've had absolutely no stability problems at all. Smooth sailing from the time I booted up the game to the time I left the White House (with an accompanying pile of loot).

I find DOTA frustrating to play, both for the annoying playerbase and the extreme, extreme, extreme of extremes emphasis on micro. EVERYTHING in DOTA depends on micro, and every little click, every little movement can contribute to a win or loss. It drives me nuts. Especially the art of...

Maybe I'm just a sap, but I have to agree on the topic of Prey. It made an impact, and I could really feel Tommy's anger -- the voiceovers as he totally killed the shit out of the aliens was genius, I say. He's a good example of how a non-silent protagonist can add to the game. And Call of...

First game? Impossible. My memories of it are waaay too fuzzy. If I had to guess... Super Mario World.

Hm, I forgot a few, it seems. Add Dawn of War 2 and Dragon Age to the pile.

Street Fighter IV, Champions Online, like Space Spoons said. I'm kinda looking forward to Sims 3, just because I'm curious as to exactly how much of a difference the changes make, and not so much the actual game (which I got tired of after seeing the exact same animations for many, many...

Funny. I've been playing the game on Very Hard since the beginning, and the only time I find it easy is when I'm fighting against mole rats and radroaches. The rest of the time I'm taking obscene amounts of damage, even with my fully repaired combat armor and the toughness perk. I rarely ever...
