    Company of Heroes 3 - set in the Mediterranean theatre

    There was nothing good about this game's reception. The initial sales were very low and it droped so far that it almost has no players now. COH 2 has more than double its players. Meaning, almost double of a very low number. This being a console game made for controllers also angered a lof...

    I must take a stance against excesive bullying. OP got so upset that he nuked nearly every post he made on the site. He went through all of them.

    Does anyone know when the term "immersive sim" was used for the first time?

    Yeah, Traspasser seems to be an unsuspecting influence for a fair number of devs and studios, despite its failure

    Don't be sorry, these are awesome finds. Keep posting if you come across something new That Giant Bomb article initially said something else, for many years. https://web.archive.org/web/20150219214329/https://www.giantbomb.com/immersive-sim/3015-5700/ Somewhere over the years, some console...

    These are some awesome findings. So it seems they were thinking in terms of sim since before these games even came out. Since before some of these modern detractors were even born

    Half Life is shit

    Other games were dabbling into that, sure, but without HL there would not have been a blueprint that all the industry looked at. Similar to the FPS genre - we had games using the perspective all the way to the 70s, but Doom was needed to offer a cohesion of mechanics and a whole that the rest...

    Half Life is shit

    Doubtfull it would look better. Shit and boring doom clones would have endured another several years. A shift to more sophisticated and layered worlds and design would have been muted and postponed. Complex ingame scripting who knows when or if another game would have made it in such...

    Half Life is shit

    Half Life's impact is unquantifiable. It's influence is far and wide, on every platform and every genre. You can split the gaming world into before and after Half Life. You can see some indie dev today doing a platformer saying how he was inspired by the enviromental mark of story telling...

    Diablo IV

    I don't think they are known for that. Outside of that initial Starcraft 2 release, i don't recall ever being the case. The user above is right. That wasn't Blizzards fault, even with Starcraft 2. They just had the framerate unlocked in the menu so people had high framerates, which made...
