Quote:I've only ever heard them say "id", and that's how it's called today so that's the name.
Then you never played a Keen game. It's uppercase in all of them (well, uppercase or with a capital I and lowercase d... and Keen 1-3 aren't a good example because the ingame font is all caps... but the logo is caps too. :)). And in the 'About ID' page in Keen 1/2/3 (their first game), it says ID Software and under it 'We're In Demand''... :)
Quote:Doom didn't play very differently from Wolfenstein 3D, it just looked better and was a bit faster. Go back and play both games.
Similar gameplay, sure, but with much better graphics, more varied weapons, environments, enemies, etc., multiplayer (that's a big gameplay change!), etc...
Quote:PC Gamer gives just about every half-decent shooter an 80% or higher. They score that genre way too high.
Or maybe a lot of them are decent?
Quote:There aren't nearly as many incredibly good PC titles as there are console ones. Unless you really love flight sims.
The difference is slight and, as I said, PC games generally take longer to play or have more options for extending their life than console games, so that difference is irrelevant.
