Quote: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''...
Of course I've played the Keen games, but I didn't pay attention to the logo. It's id now, and has been that way longer than ID.
Quote:Similar gameplay, sure, but with much better graphics, more varied weapons, environments, enemies, etc., multiplayer (that's a big gameplay change!), etc...
So Sonic 2 was a revolutionary change over Sonic 1 because it had multiplayer?? And I never knew that adding new enemies, levels, and weapons made a game revolutionary. Wow, I guess every game ever made is revolutionary then!

Quote:Or maybe a lot of them are decent?
Decent is 60%, maybe 70%. Really it should be 50%, which is neither great nor bad, but reviewers never use scores correctly. I mean come on, do you really think that Medieval: Total War is only as good as Serious Sam The Second Encounter? Because they got about the same score from PC Gamer.
Quote: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.
Oh so I guess that means that Morrowind is better than Super Mario Bros. because it takes 100 times as long to beat it.

Don't tell me you really believe that there are anywhere near as many superb PC games as there are console games. :screwy:
