I don't like shooters very much(except for doom 2,1, and some other oldies).I played both of the revolutionary shooters(refering to doom3 and hl 2).Although i enojoyed neither, i must say that the gameplay in hl2 is dull and boring, where as in doom3 it's extreme.I remember i played one night doom3 and then i didn't have the guts to play it again.
Although neither reached the standards set by their predecessors, i must say that doom3 is somewhat closer to reaching that objective.
Their failure was quite predictible actually.With such strong predecessors, the sequels were a sure failure from the start IMO

I think that we're all just so jaded with games that nothing will ever excite us like the old, original ones did.

You are right mika.Playing these old games has raised my standards very high.I hardly play new games any more.As a side note i think the golden age for dos games was between 1990-1997, and the golden age for windows games was between 1996-2000, with a few exceptions!
I am awaiting for a new golden age for windows games.There are already signs! :angel:

Great games that have revolutionised the pc software market, one way or another

That is a matter of taste, but it is my feeling that a new golden period for Windows games will arrive

I'm hoping you're right. The adventure genre has certainly lost its edge. And releasing games like Leisure suit larry isn't helping.

The fps genre keeps improving. Hl2 just set the new standards (engine-wise). Its going to take hl3 to blow my mind again.

the engine cant be that great if CS source is full of hacks, like i noticed the people at hard ocp complaining about
