And by all means I hope those that do enjoy it can, but for a vast majority (speculating here) it most likely will not be. We all have our own opinions, this is just what I feel. But if someone can find enjoyment from it still in this day and age, and then by all means enjoy it.
Sorry I shit on everyone's parade. I'll stop now.
I may come to that conclusion as well - any game over 10 years old will have a large nostalgia factor. Hell Doom started me on my way to gaming along with Rogue Spear on Mplayer (which then became Gamespy) and I can definitely see my love for those games. But if I compared it today? Pretty bad.
Just my opinion though. Feel free to disagree.
great now I need to make a new one that says "did you read the thread title"
how do you people not get run over on the streets, this is like some horse blinders-level shit

When I first played 2033 I HATED the gunplay, but on Rangermode I enjoyed it. Did they switch it up for Last Light or is Rangermode pretty much mandatory if I didn't enjoy the previous gunplay?

Whatever you vote for don't let it be Deadlight.
I like 1, 2, and 3

Total Biscuit has been making suggestions on the Steam deals, and he said he thought Anniversary and Underworld were the best 2.
I've barely touched any of them though, so I have no opinion.

Anniversary

In all seriousness, a few mods, a few option tweaks and it still looks really good. It also still sounds AMAZING and the gameplay, whilst more complicated then some will be used to, is still extremely engaging.
You can check out the gaf thread from the GOG release to see just how many people picked it up and were still blown away.
Everybody owes it to themselves to try playing it.
I agree. Anniversary is the best one...Underworld is worth getting for the water levels (I'm a sucker for well done water in games).
Really SFXT better then MK9?

banned key sites nevermind
Not with the way card prices are dropping.
Yeah they're good, but I feel as if they haven't really aged all that well. The camera works quite badly in comparison to many other games available now, I'd pick up Anniversary if it were up to me in place of the first.

Would it be alright to play System Shock 2 if I've never played the first one?

I want achievements too, ugh I have it on gog already. But cards ;-; Damn thee steam.
The fact you just called the greatest fps of all time"simplistic and pretty bad" completely discredits your opinion on games. Fps today can't touch the greatness of Doom. Suggest you visit http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=617771

These are the same people that vote for the wrong games
Mine's quite similar, I was more taken aback by the total download size as opposed to the price.

I refuse to get Witcher 2, oh i know i'll really like it, i's just that 3 years later and i still havnt beaten that damn dog in Witcher 1.
But you omitted the part where I said by today's standards. You can not in good concious tell me that Doom is a better FPS than some of the other big hitters out there. Also I feel that most of the love games get is derived from a nostalgic factor. That thread proves my point. Of course this may not apply to everyone, but to a large majority I feel it does.
<3
Fair points. I think if people like what they saw, then they should by all means purchase the game - sorry if I pissed off some people this is just how I feel about it.

Why should I buy System Shock 2 when Bioshock is so much more deep and pretty with art. If I wanted an action packed RPG I'd play Dragon Age II, not some old relic. God you guys and your nostalgia.
Yep, everyone's entitled to their opinions. Melee is a little rough to be sure, and of course the models and animations don't hold up well when compared to today's standards. But the story is told in an interesting way (which carried over to Bioshock apparently, for those who are familiar with that title), the sound design is stellar with headphones on, and I think there's a lot of tension throughout the game. Can it be difficult? Sure. But you also have quicksave at your disposal, and can tweak certain settings to adjust the game to your liking. Overall, I think it's worth a shot even if it is an older game. You might not think so, and that's fine. But for $2.50 I'd encourage anyone who might be on the fence to jump in.
You can even idle for cards if you don't like it
if you absolutely must
Both fantastic games, nice giveaway.

The most well balanced and graphically amazing fighting game ever created
Metro 2033 ain't going any lower than 75%, is it?
That works well too lol
I seriously love you GAF.

Ah, that was probably it. Obviously not the main reason I bought the bundle I guess since I didn't remember.
On another note, playing some Sniper Elite Nazi Army - pretty fun actually.
go play some rebellion games you commie fuck
You don't have it yet? It's been free for atleast once.
