I just don't have much free time on Sundays at the moment, so I'll have to pass.

Sunday is a great day for gaming!

Unless you happen to be recovering from the night before, and spend the entire day sleeping rather than being conscious.
Uggh, not going to do that again for a while.

Dr Spike, why do you insist on asking such daft questions? Now get back to Ming double sharpish and get the world put to rights!

On topic:

I don't like FPS games, or flight sims (except Knights of the Sky! ), I hated Tomb Raider, FIFA, Broken Sword and, most especially, Myst! What the bloody hell is the point of Myst? It is just like watching a slideshow, with no interaction whatsoever.

Bully for him. (Sorry, it seems to be darts pun day today. )
But would he shell out for a Playstation and a £30 game just to be able to indulge his hobby?

At least that way you get to take the photographs you are looking at. Also you get to bore your son and daughter-in-law with these photos.
With Myst, the pictures are all the same no matter how many times you play it. that is, assuming you would want to play it twice.

The first THPS game was brilliant, but I agree that they have gone downhill since then. I'm not a sk8ty boy or anything, but the first one was almost a simulation, and the rest have become more and more like computer games, with extra puzzles and fancy things. It is cool when you realise that you can jump over a high wall, or grind up to somewhere you didn't believe you could, but the first game was the most fun. Also the hardest to pull off decent tricks.

There seems to be at least a rudimentary amount of strategy in those games, as opposed to a pure spamfest. The signal-to-noise ratio is still pretty low, but I guess aspiring Deities have to have somewhere to do their "discussions".

The tony Hawks games are some of the most awesome of recent years. They're not really about skateboarding at all, more freeform world-interaction games with a very open structure.

Speaking of which, I don't have much respect for sports games. I can understand that others might enjoy them, but they don't really entertain me.

i am so happy you posted this and not me. I no longer post about that game, since i have been told i post too much about games i havent played.


There are few PC games that i own or have played to any degree that i really disrespect. I dont buy it unless i think i have reason to like it.

I own Myst. Its certainly not a favorite, and it was a tad boring, but I suppose one could enjoy its puzzles. I might have been more willing to perservere with them if the interface made it easier to record and sort clues in game - having to do it Pencil and paper on the side is a bit of a deterrent. I havent played any other recent adventures (IE other than text adventures) so i really cant say.

Id say the game ive played I like least was C&C:Tiberian Sun ( I think thats what it was) The story, gameplay, etc was unimpressive. It seemed all of what the stereotype of a bad RTS is. I played the demo, and had no desire to get the game. OTOH ive enjoyed Age of Empires.

mario sunshine, it's not even a quarter as good as mario 64(and yes n64 does have some good games!). other nintendo games i have little respect for metroid prime(boring), pikmin(first, wtf?!, second this game took me less than a day to beat and i never wanted to play again), and lastly wind waker(sailing isn't fun).

*as a caveat i do respect some of the above game's graphics but graphics don't matter, only gameplay does, so therefore i don't respect them, understood?

That's a dumb distinction . It was released first on a console and then later put on the PC. It's a PORT, pure and simple.

What's the difference between Duke Nukem 3D and GTA: VC? You like the bankruptcy of moral values in one but not the other?

Why do you guys keep mentioning Myst, I thought the title of the thread was "Popular games you have absolutely zero respect for".

I like DrSpike much betterer, it has more character and its you. Im not graduating in 2005 like I thought I was going to originaly, but that doesnt mean Im going to change my name to Space, SpaceGEDus, or Spaceus. Space05us is me.

edit: changed a word cause it slipped past the bad word filter.

Personally I like Spikie better (read: DrSpike). Doc is just so... generic... DrSpike has character and is unique. Comparatively. Google for DrSpike leads back to Poly on the 4th link, googling for Doc...
