Quake might be ugly, but blows Unreal out of the water as far as the level design is concerned. Also there's 2 years between them.

Yeah, Unreal 2 & Wheel of Time really sucked.

 Sun Nov 02 18:19:25 +0000 2014

A lot of things tried something new in 98, 99. As a franchise, Quake blows, of course. But the first game was the last bastion of

 Sun Nov 02 18:20:19 +0000 2014

abstract level design in fist person shooters & arguably its pinnacle.

 Sun Nov 02 18:20:43 +0000 2014

SiN doesn't really have abstract level design as most of its levels are realistic structures.

Dune 2 is NOT the 1st pc RTS game. Ancient Art of War (arguably) is. Dune 2 made the genre popular & set the template

In fact the template that Dune 2 was so strong, most RTS games are still based on it. That's over 20 years later.

Just putting it out there - I like Leisure Suit Larry games.

Everyone has their favorite entry in the LSL series, usually based on nostalgia more than the quality of the actual game.

 Thu Nov 06 21:53:37 +0000 2014

Love for Sail, however, is not only the best designed Larry game all around, it's also one of the best designed Sierra adventures in general

I will never forget the day I discovered Half-Life. It was magical. To me it was (and still is) Another World of first person shooters.

 Sun Nov 09 14:04:32 +0000 2014

But even though I patiently waited for Half-Life 2, paid $96 for it, installed Steam & waited for it to unlock, I wasn't ready.

 Sun Nov 09 14:05:56 +0000 2014

Not "best" just creative & funny. In a very old game.

 Sun Nov 09 14:06:25 +0000 2014

Even though today it's popular to be a snob about Half-Life 2 & nitpick it, I still maintain an opinion that it's a great game.

 Sun Nov 09 14:08:50 +0000 2014

I know I can always count on you to shit all over something.

 Sun Nov 09 14:15:27 +0000 2014

SiN is fun, but also lacking in a lot of areas. Both Blood & SiN are 90s shooters. Half-Life broke the mold.

 Sun Nov 09 14:19:53 +0000 2014

Which is why SiN got lost in 98. Games that offered something new came out. Half-Life & Thief.

 Sun Nov 09 14:21:23 +0000 2014

Half-Life 2 collector's edition.

 Sun Nov 09 14:23:04 +0000 2014

How's SiN innovative? What did it bring to the genre except the slightly branching levels?

 Sun Nov 09 14:26:53 +0000 2014

All been done before. SiN ai is hardly advanced. And marine ai in 1st Half-Life was fucking mindblowing for the time.

 Sun Nov 09 14:33:21 +0000 2014

Would Shogo: Mobile Armor Division be better remembered if it didn't have the ridiculous critical hit system?

 Sun Nov 09 14:39:03 +0000 2014

Non-stop first person-only gameplay is what people wanted. I really like SiN, but it wasn't innovative in any way.

 Sun Nov 09 14:41:06 +0000 2014

I love old school shooters! But I also love Half-Life.

 Sun Nov 09 14:44:11 +0000 2014

Gaming becoming more mainstream, technology chase & more accessible genres "killed" adventure games.

 Sun Nov 09 19:30:06 +0000 2014

there's been some confusion. Adventure games never died, they just became not viable for studios to produce.

 Sun Nov 09 19:33:16 +0000 2014

and I think recent "resurgence" just proved that adventures are just as popular as they gave always been.

 Sun Nov 09 19:33:57 +0000 2014

It's just 25 years ago 250,000 copies was a huge hit. Not so much today when hit games shift millions.

 Sun Nov 09 19:34:33 +0000 2014

No it doesn't.

 Sun Nov 09 19:35:17 +0000 2014

that's why adventure games still exist

 Sun Nov 09 19:38:55 +0000 2014

all I'm saying that adventures became a niche genre because other stuff became more popular

 Sun Nov 09 19:41:34 +0000 2014

Adventure games are being produced by smaller studios because they can sell a cheaper product to a niche audience

 Sun Nov 09 19:42:09 +0000 2014

I think when people talk about "death" of adventures they talk about major publishers not handling them anymore.

 Sun Nov 09 19:42:53 +0000 2014

I don't like Island because it was missing the bizarre surprise element of the original & became more of a puzzle collection.
