Quote:OB1, calm down.
He isn't able to once he gets angry, and saying that doesn't help.
Quote:This is ridiculous. When I posted that comment at the beginning of this thread I was making a pre-emptive defense because I knew that DJ was going to bring up that false accusation about me calling TS2 a "PD killer" (which you have done a few times in the past). Then the little troll ABF got involved, because he has no life, and this stupid little matter turned into a three-page debate. This is why I hate this place sometimes, and why I really, really despise gaming nerds most of the time. All I care about is the truth. The truth means nothing to you two, apparently, and you will manipulate the facts as much as you have to to remain "right". Your hypocrisy shines through when you accuse me of that very thing.
Bottom line: I never suggested that Time Splitters 2 would be better than Perfect Dark. Twist this around as much as you want, i.e. "but that's BASICALLY what I said you said, blah blah blah!", but you are still wrong.
Um, what in the world are you talking about? We aren't arguing with you anymore! Being angry about what I said three pages ago -- and am NOT saying now -- is silly. Care about what I'm saying now... and that isn't like what you're talking about here. I investigated the facts (neither of you did), looked at them, and discovered what happened... There was a misunderstanding of meaning. Nothing more, nothing less... a misunderstanding, which was corrected once we got all the facts! Isn't that how it's SUPPOSED to work?
The only thing that is keeping this "debate" going is your anger that prevents you from understanding that DJ and I are not arguing with you anymore or disagreeing that you never used those words.
Quote:As to what I think knowing now what OB1 apparently had meant by that, well, honestly I don't really have much of an opinion to say about it. OB1 brought it up actually, and I was just sorta defending my memory . Nothing has really changed, I mean I still think the same thing about TS2. It's decent, but no Perfect Dark, in either singler or multi, to me anyway.
Okay.
Quote:One thing to keep in mind here, I really don't CARE if a game has realistic guns or not, and as a general rule I have a general sense of unease whenever someone says "I wish this game had realistic guns!" because I honestly can only picture one very frightening reason for that wish.
Science fiction is better than reality. :)
PD: I'd have felt like it wasn't worth it if I spent a lot more than I did (and definitely if it had been full price), but for $10, it was definitely worth the money. I liked it and enjoyed both the campaign and the challenge missions. I then tried the campaign on the second difficulty level... beat all of the missions except for the last one. Didn't beat the challenge missions, though... oh well. It's a very good game. The story was solid -- and actually well told, quite unlike GE where I had no idea what was going on (as I've said before, if you haven't seen the film the story makes no sense...) --, the gameplay is fun, etc... so yes, it was definitely worth buying for just the single player. Multi? It's good. I've played a little of it and more would also be fun. But as I said, I consider it of lesser importance for FPSes... if it didn't have multi it'd be only a small problem with the game (or just about any other FPS).
