Anybody else think this whole "buy buy buy" thing with Sin and now HL2 is just a bit money grabbing? What happened to PROPER games with PROPER times? I dont want a game that takes a few hours to complete, i wanted MORE game time not less
Games aren't what they used to be. Go back about 5 years or so and I bet you could go into a game store or whatever and pretty much find a game you'll like. Nowadays I dont go to a game store unless i have a specific intention to buy a particular game. As the shelves are pretty much full of crap now with the Sims 87487237842th expansion.
Or its something with me getting older...
But with steam and now EA Downloaded Its all about the money now, not the experience.
Well im only 19 and play a lot of games . I just remember older and simpler games being the best, like sonic, alex the kid etc. Very simple games, but also very addictive
I like steam in general because it's easy to update and to redownload the game with no hassle.
However I don't like the fact that you always have to pay a little to get a small portion of the gameplay or get extra mods.
For example I think the DoD:S should of been free, this is why so little people actually bought it. Also with that new unreal engine mod coming out on steam.
Never even played HL2 its self (well, I have briefly), I didn't like the single player in the first . (multiplayer in the first was ok though, excluding countershit)
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
2795 servers, 6152 players
cstrike (source)
20855 servers, 42545 players
Quake 3: Arena
1980 servers, 3103 players
Quake 4
1152 servers, 523 players
Because the gameplay is something a long the lines of:
Spawn. Take ages selecting a weapon. Run out the compound. Camp (else you get head shotted). Die. Then wait 10 minutes whilst the rest of the team die to respawn.
To each his own I guess, I think the game play is entertaining. I personally enjoy the game more then quake3, quake3 is also good but it’s a completely different game. Quake3 is based on individual skill while CS is also based on team and individual skills, CS has many more elements then Quake3. Weapon selection can easily be bound, I use F keys and it takes me half a second to buy my equipment. The same can be said for BF2 or any other class/weapon selection games, that it takes too much time.
The round is never 10 minutes, it’s usually 3-5 minutes and it rarely reaches that mark. Camping depends on map and depends on the server, one problem is AWP Spawn camping (However I like and it’s part of the game) many servers ban the AWP so the issue of being killed off during a rush with 1 shot is highly decreased. Camping is forbidden on certain servers so it’s also not an issue.
McDonalds has decent food for low prices, yeah it’s not as good as some other foods like Prime Rib. But how much will you pay for a Prime Rib dinner cooked in a high quality restaurant compared to McDonalds? Do people really have the money to get Prime Rib when they want? This is a price issue not a quantity one, therefore the comparison can’t be used.
Games that are generally really good have large amount of players, otherwise people won’t play them? Why play shit when you can play another game? FPS games on the market cost about the same.

Blame yourself for sitting there dead.. its not quake, you dont run around DMing everybody..
And if it takes 10 min for them to finish up, and your in spec, guess what, you died because someone was better than you or got a lucky ass shot.. suck it up and QQ
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.
It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.
I am now sick.
