ItBurn: I mean, I think you definitely should only give money to games that interest you, but I'd be careful about judging games mainly by graphics. Nightmare Reaper has 95% on Steam, so it must be doing something right.
It might be the greatest game ever that I am not interested into playing. What I criticize it that these should be "retro" shooters when they look like MODERN-Minecraft style pixel games and sometimes don't even have classic pc games features like instant save with good old F5, but most of the times console-like checkpoints. Then I am happy for everyone who can enjoy it, thay they can have it.
clarry: I kinda agree, but at the same time: Painkiller (along with Doom and a handful of other games) still feels revolutionary in the sea of FPS games infested with boring bullet spongy enemies and level design that has you never battle more than a mere handful of foes at a time. Sigh, why are 95% of FPS games like that. It's like the level designers never think about encounters, they just throw stuff here and there to keep the player a little busy, and that's all the thought they can put into it.
Don't get me wrong, I loved many things of Painkiller! It's a very good game! I just don't get its beatification in life!
