*sigh* its candy money .. havent seens such kind of numbers before,
huh? Look, when you deal with game industry then you should know that
people really going to love it then it goes to like $16 mil. Seems
that they dont. DooM is mean for people whose fingers and eye-finger
coordination is much stronger than their brainwork. Most of strategy
games are vv. I must admit that I download doom, and got hooked
eventually, but deleted it after week, because it really didnt gave
me something really new. It became repetitive and frustating.
Dont tell me rubbish about cheat keys and uv. Yes I ended the game with
uv mode on, I didn't use he cheat keys AND I ENDED FIRST EPISODE WITH
GUN ONLY (those two big bozos in end as well). I smashed everyone
in deathmatch too. Its eveore even moree boring, because there is
only four mean enemies. I think three players again on (and they should
cooperate with monsters .. :)) will make me try it for one more wekk.
Anyway, the people whos IQ is higher than average want their
"hardware" supported as well - like researchers, programmer, etc.
I have big expectations on QUAKE. I hope it more andventure than
just shooting around game. I expect whole shitload of enemies, guns
armours, hi-tech eq, drugs, potions, maps, hints. I also expect
neutral or even friendly chars you must protect and who'll give
you vital clues about strotu story and who may even cooperate with u.
And I open it will be open game as well, so when I end some adventure
I can eventually download new from some ftp site and get hooked again.

This really sux ... I love interactive stories. Books are for weenies
