Yeah, I realized that after a few minutes. Oh well.

And suddenly that has appeared on the links list of Grumpy Gamer. Even though I knew Ron Gilbert reads these forums, it's still kind of funny.

They've got almost the entirety of Metroid on two images!

How many games can this be applied to? I'll pick the obvious one.

Why did HL2 get online/multiplayer? Tell me they're not awarding a six (?) year old game an award for best multiplayer of '05 (unless it's for HL2DM... which is unlikely)

Uplink rocks. There's a thread about the Darwinia (the new game from Introversion) demo around here somewhere.

Wouldn't that be really boring?

Myst 1 - 4. The Dig. And in response to the other thread... Goldeneye.

Is there any implication in "make me think too much" besides that?

They have to simplify it for those people who didn't get it the first time. Then they need someone who can seem believable when saying these incredibly stupid things. Hence, you hire Keanu Reeves.

This thread was intended for games you have a specific problem with, not genres you don't you like because you don't want to use your the lump of grey matter between your ears that has given rise to our glorious civilization.

Amen. With Halo 2, they took something decent, tried to make it better, and it turned out worse than before. And Doom 3... well, you put it best.

Counter-strike.

All it needs is Roger Ebert.

I was bored by Doom 3 (admittedly, what little I played of it), but I have already played HL2 twice through completely. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because this is so way off topic.

TLJ is good, except for the first chapter or so, which is drop-dead-boring exposition. April is annoying, but it's about as annoying as you'd expect someone dropped into her situation would be, I think, and never really got on my nerves. And I only remember two people cussing in Arcadia (the fantasy world), and they were from Stark (the real/science world).

You know, that would be a lot more effective if you mentioned a recent, much-hyped game that was actually bad. One with a 3 in the title, maybe, but I'm not going to make suggestions. And there is other companies that has released old games for free (e.g. Bungie)

But in Halo, it's not. Halo on Easy it about the most goddamn simple game ever made. I suck at shooters, but I swear you cannot die on Easy. Halo's odd, of course, because it's difficulties run the extremes - easy is piss poor boring, legendary is die-load-repeat ad nauseum.

Wouldn't Hitler sort of be a Nazi Jew? Wasn't his grandmother a Jew or something?

Just to be clear, I liked CMI. That was more of a jab at those who don't like it just because Ron Gilbert wasn't behind it. Not many of those here, I'd imagine.

Usually they're protesting though. "So what is this supposed to be?" "It's ART!" "Uh, right, okay. What is it?" "ART, you unsophisticated fool! You simply cannot comprehend the genius of my ART!"

Well in that case... Monkey Island 3: The Ron Gilbert Edition.

Don't you know? Things that protest to be art usually aren't. (ar[n]t! ha!)

Warcraft Adventures.

I want Dog or Shephard (guy from OpFor). Personally, while I found Alyx as an amazing demonstration of Source's new AI technology, I never really gave a damn about her character. I like Barney, Dog, Eli, even Kliener and Mossman, but for some reason Alyx never really grew on me...
