    Anyone a fan of Half-Life 2? The single player mode was linear, but the gravity gun was a blast to play around with!

    I didn't like Half-Life 2 much. The story was mediocre and the gameplay itself seemed forced, without any real creativity in how to play and get through whatever given situation. Also, an FPS should be an FPS, and not turn into a fucking platformer when the designers run out of ideas to make the game more difficult. At best it was a mediocre game. I beat it once and never touched it again.

    Played it, got to some point in the city, later on in the game, then the Xbox broke, along with my heart. Dog = totally freakin' awesome.

I have actually never found another that quite holds up.

AvP was a surprisingly good series...Unreal was good but Unreal 2 was a total bomb, Doom 1 and 2 were OK but I always liked the quake series better until Quake 4 and Doom 3, D3 wins that one, but they were both kinda weak, graphics aside...

Until then, I'm a sad little girl, with no FPS. :cry:

    I still play Doom and Doom 2. You really can't beat the games that made the genre take off. For their time they were good games, but AvP still tops them. Unreal and Unreal 2 were just kind of blah. It seemed like they were trying to do too much with the engine and showcased the engine's performance too much. I couldn't get into either game really. And I don't know why, but I was never really into Quake. Something just irked me about that series. I think it was the same things that bother me with the Half-Life series. Or maybe the setting, I dunno. The next generation of shooters though, which looks to be starting with Gears of War (a TPS but a shooter nonetheless) I think is really the way to go. That game really did movement and field tactics justice.

No FPS should ever be played on a console...it's just not right... I take it you never tried Goldeneye or Perfect Dark? You missed out on 2 of the best games ever... I thought it was good, but was expecting much better. It didn't live upto the original. If it wasn't 'half life' it would have seemed much better. Considering the devopment time between the 2 games, the reputation of the series and the hype, it was a major dissapointment. It looked damn good, but the gameplay was only average. I spent much more time on CSS than HL2.

That game really did movement and field tactics justice. Played a bit of it and I can't say I'm a fan...I still can't get used to using a controller to play games. While we're on the subject of games (I know it's the game room but no one ever posts here) let's talk about game quality vs. game size. Pretty much every game I've gotten lately has been gigantic. The question is, why? I've not really seen any improvement in anything but graphics (and that's been moderate).

    I take it you never tried Goldeneye or Perfect Dark? You missed out on 2 of the best games ever... Oh no you didn't...You did not just call Perfect Crap one of the best games ever... Until I hear otherwise, I am going to assume that was sarcasm.

    Okay, bigger doesn't mean better. Case in point, Elder Scrolls 3 (Morrowind) vs Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion). Graphically and free-roam size wise, Oblivion was better. The fighting system was about the same (I welcomed active blocking with open arms, but miss the variable weapon swings) and the skill system was also about the same (simple and efficient, but it lacked depth). Everything else about Oblivion was utter crap. Sorry Bethesda, but you screwed up this time. Morrowind was not as big, but it seemed bigger due to the sheer amount of content in the world. Plus, there was the explorability. With one spell you could get anywhere and it would litterally take you months of playing to explore the entire map and disover every nook and cranny. The quest chains were innteresting and the story arc chains were both interesting and long, not something you could pound out in a night unless you knew exactly what you were doing. I loved the skill system and the fighting system and the magic rocked. There's nothing like being able to create an uber nuke spell to fry everyone in a small town.

How about I fucking blow your mind right now... 96kb Game with Quake3 level graphics... http://www.agentstepp.com/files/pno0001.exe That's 1/10th of a megabyte... It's called procedurally generated content...and all games should use it... Note : requires a GF4 or better! :P

    Also, a neat rendering that takes up 64k... Set to : 800x600 1x1 Text Disabled http://www.agentstepp.com/files/HEAVEN7W.EXE
