Dorks vs IGN

[A Black Falcon]

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.

Sure, but I can spell it how I want to even if it's wrong. :)

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!

The most revolutionary thing was the graphics. At that point in time such a change really was huge... bigger than a new graphics engine is now, for sure. And you know as well as I do that Doom multiplayer is on a slightly different level than Sonic... what a stupid example...

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.

If you think that, then why do you dislike Gamespot? They're the closest to saying that of the game review publications I know of, after all...

Of course I think that Medieval is a much better game than Serious Sam. Serious Sam isn't bad though, it's good, so it also deserves a good score... just not quite that good. Medieval is a fantastic game. ... okay, so I haven't played it nearly as much as I should. I'd rather play Warcraft III... :) But Medieval is really, really good and I can understand why Gamespot ranked it above WC3 in the 2001 awards. I don't agree, but I certainly understand how they could do it.

I also understand how they could rank Serious Sam game of the year, of course. Some people appreciate simplistic shooters a lot more than you do... :)

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.

As I said on MSN, I don't see why this is a point. So there are some more console games. So? Who cares? There are a huge number of great PC games. Far more than anyone could ever play, in just about every genre consoles have (excepting, probably, fighting games). And they have more replay value than most console titles due to such things as: 1) online multiplayer 2) map / level / game editors 3) longer games (or more optional things that extend the game, like quickmissions or stuff like that) 4) more configurable options (similar to editors point). Yes, some console games have each of those things. But far, far more PC games have more of them than console games. By a big factor. Yes, length doesn't mean that they are better but my point is not many people are exactly hurting for games to play on PC. Your 'point' is pretty much meaningless.
