Just the current trends in shooters for the most part.

I like old school shooters. The ones that flex your Y-axis, have many elements for maneuvering your guy such as rocket jumping, or jump strafing, and have a variety of weapons to make no two encounters the same. There are just so many elements to the gameplay of games like Quake, or UT that keep it so refreshing, and fun, and an absolute blast to learn and master. They required huge amounts of map control, and awareness in order to succeed.

Multiplayer is just so incredibly shallow in a lot of today's shooters where half the guns are machine guns that all feel the same, or shotguns that all feel the same. There aren't large health bars so encounters, in most cases, turn into a "whoever sees who first" wins as it takes just a small handful of bullets to kill someone. There just isn't much thought going on with it, and they're so slow paced that many aspects of combat seen in old games just literally can't be present. I mean just compare two people duking it out in a Quake 3 match in comparison to an encounter in CoD. The differences are astounding.

As it stands the closest we have to quality, old-school shooters today would be Halo, and TF2, but even they don't quite stack up. I just got a beta key for Tribes Ascend though, so I'm going to try that out sometime soon. I really hope it's good.

With how poor God of War 3 was I will remain 100% unhyped for this one.

I want consoles to be inferior to PC in terms of features, power, and content.

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"] That's such crap.

I only owned and played the PC version of Vice City since its release and last year my girlfriend showed interest in the game. I went ahead and bought it for the Xbox as it would provide a more comfortable playing experience than us hunching over a PC together. At no point in playing did I ever feel compelled to stop playing and not enjoy the game because of the inferior graphics. Even after playing Vice City in higher resolutions and using graphics mods, I still had a blast playing it again on the Xbox.

You wanna know why? A good game is a good game.

I said performance issues; not graphics.

Significantly huh?

Your definition of "significant" must differ from that in a dictionary.

I thought the ad was pretty bad as usually when you sell something you tell the audience what it does.

I got nothing from that ad.

[QUOTE="AcidSoldner"]You guys are crazy. I have never had a problem switching between consoles and PC much the same way I can switch between current gen consoles and previous gen consoles without going apesh!t over graphics. A good game is a good game. If you can't see that then you're doing it wrong.AcidSoldner

Performance issues get in the way when you're so used to high performance, and it can negatively impact a game no matter how good people consider it.

Wow....look at all the bandwagoners hating on skyrim now because its popular. Alot of these same people were kissing its ass back it November/December. For me it has to be skyrim and uncharted 3. I actually disliked the games when I played them and Im not just hating on the games because I want to stand out from the fanboys.Androvinus

So everyone hates them because they're popular except you?

the old Xbox controller was possibly the worst controller ever known to man, wouldnt be wise to bash the Wii or Wii U when you defend a company that made that behemoth designed for what im guessing was giants.

I loved that controller.

The only con I give it was the diamond-set face buttons.
