That's exactly my sentiment on the matter.
Amasingly enough, Dues Ex, the game that (made a great leap) in building up Warren Spector's fame in the industry to a near-mythical level managed to be a great game in spite of what he thought a good game should be.
The man stated flat out and clear after DE:IW that he wanted to design games for consoles. :wacko:
Quote:Sacrifice - the Game Nobody Played - Shiny was bought by EA and dismantled before the expansion pack could be released. I don't know if you can even buy this anymore. Combination RTS/FPS game, it was different, original, scored very highly by critics - and didn't sell.
I wouldn't have listed that among my best ever, but boy, did I enjoy it. Beautiful piece of work. And fie on the ignorant masses.
