Wise words Killie The Great, I agree, a lot of people these days who are casual gamers, much prefer something simple and mindless over other more intelligent games. Open Arena, Quake 3, and other games like it may appear simple, with very simple rules, but it takes a wise man to actually excel at this type of game. You get a cake for that.  |

That sounds like why I've basically quit buying games any more. The classic games still rock, and the new games don't.
Same for me. I just don't play them enough, because after a couple of hours you get how the thing works and there isn't anything new to find out. You can practice maps and aim, but that's kinda it. There is no strafe jumping, circle jumping, all kinds of different weapons which you have to master to get good at, no rocketjumping which can bring some cool gameplay to the game. You just walk around with some automatic gun and you shoot someone else, and if you do it well you get extra kills (by sending in a bombardment or nasty dogs)  |

i agree with what the last few ppl have been saying. and i feel the same way about new games. the only ones that are at all worth buying are the new motion games for the wii and whatever the thing microsoft is releasing soon.

Though if OA is slowly getting less players, Q3A is dying too, I don't like QL and Q4 is one of those games where nothing is possible anymore, then what are we going to play in a couple of years?

These last few post seemed to hit the nail on the head about why I also just stop buying games. I remember when games where hard like total annihilation, myth, doom and some others but it seems now the focus is graphics and let’s make it “casual”. Casual seems to equal easy to learn and easy to master. There are no really hard games left because the games now seem to want to hold your hand thought out it so you don’t lose because if you lose you’ll go all ape sh*t crazy like that German kid on youtube did when he lost at a game.

That's my favorite excuse too whenever someone catches me acting like a fool. Anyway, this guy isn't acting (are those keyboard keys he's throwing at the other players?). |

I'm not sure what he's trowing. Anyway, I'm Italian and I can tell you it is better to not translate the words he's repeating... He says "My 8-years-old cousin, *** ***, plays better than you", and continues insulting deities... |

Just tried to play with someone from another forum, but it didn't work out as he was with his brother (same house = same ip) and they couldn't join the same server. He couldn't forward ports to setup his own server, and the net_qport trick failed. There go two potential players..

That's odd. I regularly play with a friend and his son who are playing at their house. Three of us at work do the same thing during lunch.
@Bane: I agree with the video's point on the state of gaming. I just wish he hadn't cussed so much or slagged on conservatives while making his point.

If you google it or search the forums it's already somewhere, but maybe it should be on the wiki too. Though I set that like a year ago, I don't know what I exactly did.

"The game is too fast, I can't keep up"
"I'm dead before I know what's going on"
"You'd kick my ass"
I got all of the above from my significant other. He played for about three days last week, and turned out to be wrong on number 3 there...he beat me a couple times. Usually, though, my friends just say they want "better games" and are conveniently vague on what that means. For instance, the one mentioned above left for TF2 (which is strange, since that costs money). |

What's funny is I've been playing Excessive Plus mod lately, which speeds things up (including death rates) even more.
