At least DOOM and Quake had no one belittling you and reminding you what little bitch you are. It's like the studio was talking to me, the player. GRRRR.

doom and quake also didnt bullshit you with "story" "back story"endless busllshit cutscenes and recharging shields
it gave you a gun ammo and pointed you in the right direction telling you to find the exit and shoot the enemies that got in your way

:)

That's Rage am I right? As soon as I heard iD software was aquired by Zenimax I thought OH SHIT NO.. NOO.. NooOooOooOoo.. Because I knew rage would turn out Shit and I Was right, Right down to the Cheating Racing car game!
Tell Me about it, rage is like everything Bad from fallout 3 and everything bad from borderlands Rick Rolled into one!

They made this cool setting, John Goodman being badass, your blank slate and then what? FUCKING FETCH QUESTS AND SIDE-MISSIONS in the same locations! FUCK.

RAGE is exactly what I felt. Rage, frustration and despair.

And what the fuck is this???? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MoXUBJHgIdQ/TovkoohUehI/AAAAAAAAA1k/XBr4nC-QgJU/s1600/Rage%2Bblurry%2Btexture.jpg

exactly Games these days Feel way shitty! Like dead Islands "You are leaving the gaming area, (you fuckwit) get back in the gaming area" you know Big bad Island just waiting to be explored and "You are leaving the gaming area, Get back in the gaming area!"

Hated that game
why That's a Texture that looks Like It came out of Wolfenstien 3d!

Doom III looked better IMHO

i generally dont like fps games
but you can wake me up for doom 1 or 2

( or quake 4 i liek quake 4 ...dont look at me like that )

I liked quake 2 and 3 and quake 1 Before Bethsoft killed the games!
They just copied what Borderlands did!

Final Fantasy III on DS. I know, someone's going to stab me for that, but I've enjoyed some of the Final Fantasy Games, especially Final Fantasy V and VI for the GBA, but III was not only tedious after a certain part of the game, but also felt like a series of lame plot twists and a needlessly combat focused ending. I expected a better story, but I guess that's the harm of expectations.

Otherwise Dear Esther was also pretty disappointing too. I feel that they spent a lot of effort on making the game look pretty, and telling a story at the player, but unlike The Stanley Parable or even Gone Home I did not feel immersed in the experience at all. The "game" may have been better as a film, for all of its monologues and lack of 'effect' from the player's actions.

I played Rage for what it was - a shooter - didnt expect deep story or anything. If someone just plays it as a shooter, IMHO its a decent game :)

Marketing tone of voice is so gross.
If you rush it, it's probably tolerable.

its a remake of a 24 year old famicom game
there never was going to be much story to begin with
there si more story then in the original but that is not saying much

Well, speaking of Famicom games Fire Emblem 2 did ok.

Are you more into the Deus-Ex and Mass Effect and DA 3D RPGs only, or are you a fan of the D&D isometrics like BG, Torment, Fallout, Arcanum, etc.? If the prior and you haven't played, try the Gothic games or Anachronox or even New Vegas (which isn't as great as a lot of people say, IMO, but really good.) If you like the latter but can't find anything to tickle the spots, and if you haven't tried, try games like Geneforge 1-5, Avernum, Wasteland2.
