HunchBluntley: You're talking about
Giants? I wasn't aware it was a particularly comedic game.
Wishbone: Really? You can't have heard much about it then. That's usually the first thing people mention when talking about it ;-)
But seriously, you really should get it. With the constant Interplay discounts, it should be easy to pick up for next to nothing.
Edit:
Okay, right
now it costs next to nothing! A 90% discount, you can't really ask for more than that. Should you happen to also not own Sacrifice, you really should get that one also.
I actually watched TotalBiscuit's "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" episode about
G:CK (one of the videos he made for his erstwhile promotional partnership with GOG, I believe), and he went on about a lot of the strong points of the game, but I don't remember him really focusing on its humor.
Anyway, I already got
Giants due to the giveaway at the end of last year's winter sale. It's just not super high on my list of "owned games that I want to try".
As for
Sacrifice and the rest, I'm not really interested in most any of those, either. (EDIT: Also, fuck Interplay. Given the way they stiffed the Parallax guys on their
Descent royalties, I imagine they've probably done similar to a lot of other creators that they have agreements with.) I find I'm not terribly excited about playing older games in general these days -- even ones I would've
killed to have played, but never got to, 15 or 20 years ago.
For instance, I bought
Morrowind last December, and I've probably only played it for 10 hours or less. This was a game that I'd been looking forward to playing "some day" since it came out, but due to a variety of reasons, I never did play it until it was released Steam-free here. And, now that it's sitting on my desktop, I simply can't be bothered. : \
