This idea that one system can be better than all the others is something that causes much unnecessary strife and conflict that is deteriorating relations within the gaming community."

Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
I usually go in always thinking friendly rivalry, really drives me to talk shit when I hear dudes in Call of Duty take the fucken game so serious.
I personally don't play multiplayer games as much anymore, give me a good story, the only online aspect i enjoy is a co-op inclusion in singleplayer game.
Back in the day I'd be ready to say that PC was the most powerful gaming platform out there. I mean, it was getting polygonal and "3D" games before the consoles were able to handle it, but these days it is a much closer race.
In this current age I think consoles are pretty close to PC games and unfortunately a lot of PC gamers are now stuck with console ports! I think it's fine for someone to prefer a PC or 360 or PS3 but there's no reason to go shoving it in everyone else's face. Preference is just what each person chooses and as long as we enjoy the games who cares which is the "best" platform?
I have to say I feel like there is a bit of PC elitism these days. They always go on about graphics and how plebby we are with 5 year old hardware.
Personally I like using my console, throw the disc in and off we go, no worries about settings or compatibility or anything. Its all good.
And lol @ glorious PC gaming master race and console peasant...
I do own a gaming PC which I put together with a friend a few years ago but since moving, I rarely use the thing.
I like PC gaming, it was where I really started, using my brothers to play Doom and Duke Nukem and uh..Theme Hospital. But getting my first console and simplicity of it, put a game in and you're off. If there's a problem with the PC when installing a game, it can be a number of issues which can be frustrating to solve, and I'm not the most tech savvy of people.
But hey, the article is right, to each his own really. You want to play on PC or console, thats your choice, we're all game lovers here.
