@@apttewly i wouldn't say too big to fail, but rather too many gamers nowadays are too dumb to let them fail. Like for example Call Of Duty uses pay to win tactics, delivers stale gameplay every year, and less and less optimization (like 60GB patches)... but players still buy that shit. Activision and EA both got patents on rigged matchmaking systems that unfairly puts "marquee" players against "junior" players to encourage players to buy items. There's been tons of articles and videos exposing it, yet stupid players still call it SBMM even if the matchmaking puts veterans against newbies and bots. That's not truely skill based, that's just rigged... and those players will still complain about it but buy that shit year after year. Just search for Engagement Optimized Matchmaking, and you can find plenty of rants on here. Those same games not just rig matchmaking, but also lock better items behind pointless, countless hours of grind. So a level 1 player may not be able to use any weapon or attachments they want (leaving them disadvantaged) but they'll be forced to play against people who already have that shit unlocked. Lots of those games will then also sell boosters, battle passes, etc too. To make things worse, all that shit spawns arguments with dumbfucks defending that shit and increases toxicity. Multiplayer has mostly become a cesspool of toxic children spending their dumb parents money, or immature adults (some might even be paid shills making crazy "nuke" videos displaying their toxicity and selling "x" items). I just don't find it fun. When I was a little girl, games typically would cost $30-60 depending on the title, and it would be the complete game. Any extra spenditure just usually meant you got a fancier, metal collectors case, posters, ect. (nothing that gave an in game advantage). Nowadays $60 is often just a base version of a game (with items that give advantages sold separately, whether by reduced grind/immediate unlock/ect.)... oh and don't forget the "always online DRM" requirements on many games nowadays. I hate it. Heck, even to play single player (if it exists) you still need an internet connection. Modding is also something that's been ruined by many modern games. Bethesda Creator's Club is a prime example. Worse yet, tons of games don't even support mods. Instead everything is a DLC you purchase. :(

+cormano64 Beware, wall of text incoming! Sure! Back in the day you valued their opinion. Also because they WERE big and had impact, every developer wanted them to see what they had to show. Those were the days when E3 was ginormous and easily half of a print magazine's issue was just about games shown at E3. Those were the days when 8/10 was considered very good and not "hate out of ten". When you got real information in those magazines and not only rewritten PR. I was burned too many times in the new millenium by PCGames so I stopped buying it around 2007. They gave so many bad and ultra-buggy games scores of 80-90. And since I valued their opinion I bought those crappy games. The Fall: Last Days of Gaia, Earth 2160, Gothic 3 and a lot more. In 2007 they even wrote about many games that it was awesome and the bugs are meant to be patched at day one so they did not decrease the score because of it. Jump back a few years more: They decreased Bloodlines' and Invisible War's due to bugs, and even more back (around 2000 I guess) they even took back a platinum award for Grand Prix 3 because of bugs in the release version. You see when and why it went downhill. I mean an internet magazine called 4players got sued by Atari in 2007 because they gave Alone in the Dark just 68 % or so, they claimed that 4players had a pirated copy because the review went up pretty fast. They got pressure by PR-companies to heighten scores or the ads would be cancelled and so on. This is what Reviews have become now. Sadly.

Funnily enough, in the reader's corner of the magazine there's a complaint regarding the lack of journalistic integrity, because the magazine showed ads by a company in an older issue that turned out to be scammers. PCGames acknowledged that they received a multitude of letters of people complaining about the fact that they lost money by ordering from those scammers after seeing the ad in the magazine, yet the "journalists" with the oh so high standards denied any responsibility for not having done what journalistic standards usually entail: proper research... So much for that. PC Games Plus 12/1996. Look it up if ya don't believe it...

Wow, I never knew exactly how *much* Quake contributed to not just FPSs, but gaming as a whole... So much modern stuff came from just the first game in that series and I didn't even know it until now: WASD & Mouse movement, speedrunning, popular & easier moddability, demo-recording, machinima, revolutionizing multiplayer deathmatch with Quake III Arena, providing the foundation for so many great series & game engines that've come out since, and more! It's honestly amazing. Thanks for everything, ID!

The original Doom also supported mouse input and recording demos. Multiplayer deathmatch on LAN was also pioneered by Doom, not Quake. Quake 1 originally had awful multiplayer support; it wasn't until id Software released QuakeWorld with proper client prediction that Quake online multiplayer became amazing. And after QuakeWorld, Quake 1 and Quake 2 were both extremely popular in multiplayer. While a great game, I don't consider Quake III Arena more than an upgrade and excellent refinement of its predecessors.

Not really, it shows its age and is pretty clunky to work with. However, since most modern engines (Unity, Unreal, DSel, etc) are based on either CryEngine or Source, which are based on GldSource, which is based on Quake, it is by extension the granddaddy of 3d engines

Man, I would have loved to see those proposed Aztec levels. I can totally envision the ranger traipsing around immense sacrificial pyramids and catacombs lined with racks of skulls, all set against the malignant fauna of a harsh alien jungle (a la Catachan in 40k). For enemies, you could have demon men in brightly-colored Jaguar/Bird suits (weilding Macuahuitls, of course) and giant feathered serpents that lurk around the hallways and spit balls of fire at you. If the chapter had an actual boss at the end, it would be Cipactli, the monstrous, crocodilian sea monster that swam in the primordial waters of nonexistence. In this iteration it'd be swimming around an immense sea of blood in the depths beneath the biggest pyramid, requiring the ranger to plunge in and put it down. Aztec mythology is like a cosmic horror story in a lot of ways, so it would have fit right in along with the game's Lovecraft influences.

@@BlackBunn1e It's wild to read about, believe me. That's in no way meant to denigrate the Nahuas (IE, modern-day descendants of the Aztecs) and their beliefs; I mean "wild" in the sense that Aztec cosmology is colorful and vibrant while also being appealingly morbid. The central belief is that the patron god Huītzilōpōchtli needed offerings of blood to continue raising the sun each day. Without the routine sacrifice and blood-letting, the sun would no longer rise and all life would perish. In fact, there were four previous suns that got destroyed due to the antics of the Gods, so the Aztecs thought they were living in a post-apocalyptic world. In essence, death was necessary for life to continue. This was a huge part of Aztec society, to the point where they fought "flower wars" with the express purpose of taking sacrificial captives. It was also why the Aztec empire was so maligned by all the tribes surrounding them. Aztec rule was harsh and often involved lots of violent human sacrifice. The so-called Spanish conquest was actually a civil war between the Aztecs and their former subjects, which the conquistadors were present for and had helped to spur.

What I've recounted to you is just what I've accumulated over the years from talking to professors and reading Wikipedia. This probably isn't the most helpful suggestion, but you should go check out the books listed under the References section of the Wikipedia page titled "Aztec religion." If you want thorough information on Aztec mythology, you should read one of the serious academic works listed there. For instance, one of the books the page cites is "The Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya" which is authored by a couple of respected Mesoamerica historians named Mary Miller and Karl Taube. Now obviously I haven't read this work, but looking at the information available online, it seems to be a reliable historical study into Aztec beliefs (and Mayan ones too). Wikipedia is useful for a broad overview of certain historical topics, but if you want in-depth information you have to scroll to the bottom of the page.
