I definitely like how old PC games hadn't quite fallen into more standardized ways of doing things. I feel like you basically have to go to indie games these days if you want games that don't approach their chosen genre in a sort of "accepted optimal way of making this sort of game" manner.

Church. I love me some GTA, Mass Effect, and Elder Scrolls/Fallout, but those games are clearly trying to do ten things at once while doing not one single thing particularly well cause they know that if you're not totally satisfied by one mechanic then there are other mechanics to distract you. This is why I don't **** on you for hating so many games cause I know where you're coming from. I'm just more willing to be distracted by those other mechanics.

Haven't really played much in a long time, totally going in depth today.
Bought Quake, Jagged Alliance and Jagged Alliance 2 on GOG this evening. I've never actually played Jagged Alliance 1 and 2. Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games is the one I'm familiar with, and it's a sort of 1½ semi-sequel to the first game. I think the random generated campaign mode that I always play and the editor modes are unique to Deadly Games, so I never bothered with the first game. Seems like a probable mistake, so I'm finally going to give the rest of the series a go. Seems the price was slashed considerably from what was stated at first. I think it's because I already have Deadly Games. Played some Quake for now. Mission pack 1 and 2. I remember playing them back in the day. The first mission pack kinda sucks, but the second one has some things going for it. It's just that I forgot how mercilessly repetitive Quake really is... Probably not gonna play these all that much. |

I liked Quake 1 a lot originally, but it never held up for me like the best 90's FPS games did. I can still play Duke Nukem 3D, Doom 2, Shadow Warrior and Rise of the Triad, but I seem to be done with Quake. Already uninstalled it after just an hour or so this time :/ |

^Sata to USB connector. Last time I needed to fiddle with a loose HD, I screwed apart my external hard drive and used the connector inside it's housing, so if you have an external HD, you could try that. |
