I had Settlers 3's demo as a kid. I loved it. For me it was like making my plasticine soldiers fight against each other.
Such a disappointment.
Running around in Unrealshit, Shitlife and Desu Shit is not entertaining.
Yeah, I tried to play it few years ago for the first time since I never owned N64 back in the day, and it was borderline painful. I can see why it impressed back then on a console, but as far as playability goes even compared to console first or even console exclusive shooters from that era (like Turok or Disruptor) it is p bad.GoldenEye.
I think that has to be the steepest decline from playing it at the time and being completely amazed to playing it recently and wondering how the fuck I ever even used an N64 controller.
Utter shit basically.Unreal remains great to this day. Its single player campaign is only matched by Half-Life in the fps world.
Or give them Razorjack and they will behead themselves.I really can't get enough of Quake and Unreal SP. Original Unreal campaign is indeed one the finest example of its genre.
Behead all those who dare belittle them, or write them off as mere tech demos.
(I also disagree about early-ish 3D being universally bad. I find visuals in some early fully textured 3D games such as Azrael's Tear or Quake to be genuinely appealing)
Baldurs gate 1. It was not very good back then and now it's just bad. It does not have icy grip of Icewind dale, Torment writing, IWD2 balanced difficulty or Baldur's Gate 2 epic battles. It have nothing to back it self up.
Those are playable on a notebook, though. The small screen may help in this case.Lands of Lore 2 has aged very poorly due to how crappy the sprites look on large lcd screens. Kind of like the comment on Betrayal at Krondor
Warcraft 2 has always suffered from having a single unit that is demonstrably better than everything else (ogre magi). Yes, there are tactical uses for catapults and death knights. But I won basically every game I ever played -- which, granted, was only at LAN parties and Internet cafes and stuff -- simply by being absurdly good at spamming ogre magi, blood lusting them, and sending them into battle. Starcraft is not without its flaws, but there's nothing comparably lopsided in the game, no ultra-simple strategy that is so mechanically executed.StarCraft plays better than Warcraft 2 but the latter is still very enjoyable to this day if you can cope with the occasional pathfinding issue like Wilian says and the 9-unit limit per selection (to be fair, StarCraft also has loads of pathfinding issues, most notably Dragoons).
Even Oblibions is modable, not that it helps it any.Baldurs gate 1. It was not very good back then and now it's just bad. It does not have icy grip of Icewind dale, Torment writing, IWD2 balanced difficulty or Baldur's Gate 2 epic battles. It have nothing to back it self up.
It has moddability.
That's a big plus in my book.
