Yes, I know that Diablo is game about fighting with demon-like Diablo and his minions, but why then we've got so much in interface and icons stuff like pentagrams, devil holding health meter (what is it supposed to mean, and why in Diablo II it's in opposite?) etc? Or first Blood - quite the same thing, but more also in "game itself" plus making fun of desacrating bodies (kicking decapitated heads like ball + Caleb's comments). Like some disturbing content of some games in terms of presentic, let's say, "diabolic" themes. Of course I'm not telling that there is no unjustified "bashing" on other side - clearly some alarmistic publications about bad influence of video games are written without good knowledge of topic and made it on purpose in "alarmistic" tone.īUT there are some information or publication which are presenting some problems in fair way, yet they're threatened in identical way. Almost all negative opinions are usually ignored or ridiculed. This one may be (probably) the most controversial - I've got sad impression that as gamers (at all) we're not totally fair when it comes to diagnosis some inappropiate content in video games. Plus overrated "beneficial influence" of Nintendo on gaming at all (especially historical, but not only). Similar thing with plenty of indie games, which were in last years released on Switch and suddenly "oh, how great they are" - written by people ignoring fact of releases on other platforms (especially PC). I've played in some of their games (mostly on handhelds) and I could swear, that identical games (similar genres, content etc) but without Mario or Link wouldn't caught anybody's attention, but a bunch of indie-games fans, who don't have a problems with looking for interesting stuff to play. Truth is that both are different genre than Diablo, but still, as games they're in my opinion far more entertaining.ģ.I'm extremely annoyed with the fact how much praises are receiving most famous nintendo game series (all this Mario/Zelda/whatever stuff) and generally Nintendo's stuff as well. I personally think that Warcraft and Starcraft series (not counting WoW and some weird spin-offs with Star/War characters) have much more to offer in almost every aspect. Sequel made me completely bored in about half of game, and I didn't even tried Diablo 3. ( tragedy of King Leoric, betrayal of Lasarus, Lachdanan etc). I personally can tell that I only liked the first game, which despite it's simplified mechanics (series of dungeons with very few quests to do) at least entertained me a bit and brought some interesting elements of plot and memorable characters I also accept and understand I will be forever alone in this view, but, we can only form opinions on our own experiences I guess.ĭisclaimer - some of the stuff I've mentioned "down below" became a bit less "unpopular" with recent years, but still consider them as relatively unpopular.ġ.Heroes IV was a step in good way (in terms of mechanics, not bugs at the release date :P) - it brought many nice changes (like participation of heroes in the battle, prisons, caravans), some corrections (creatures are coming day by day, not only every week, magic based characters are still important, but due to various magic schools hero needs to learn there are no more "bloated" magic heroes devastating everything with magic) but with containing the main character of the game - simplified economy, "two sides" tactic battles, a lot of exploration and gaining experience by heroes etc.Ģ.Diablo series is overrated. I loved the widgets, the live backgrounds, the 3d aero tiles when app switching etc. and aesthetically I just really loved it. It was a really easy Windows to tweak and tinker with. It was the last Windows that didn't try to bury the inner workings under layers of iOS style build methodology (You can probably argue that Windows 7 didn't either, but it still stepped further towards that closed off system). Only OS I've never had a fatal OS crash with and require a complete clean reinstall.Īlthough it started Windows murder of audio, there were still a lot of work-arounds for EAX and even games releasing that supported it. Now you have me really curious, what makes prefer and enjoy Vista over all other Windows-releases? I never had any of the stability problems that others had, I still have a running Vista rig at my parents house that hasn't skipped a beat since it came out. DadJoke007: I dropped my jaw at this one.
