I'm sorry.

Screenshots don't answer my question.

Now that we've established your opinions mean absolutely nothing, we'll always refer back to this thread to point that out.

Eyecandy builds atmosphere better. See Half Life 2 and Resident Evil 4. HL2s story wasn't great, but the atmosphere made up for it.

two words: System Shock

I'm sorry, but you didn't have a question to be answered. Nor have you tried to be civil.

Read a book.

deepblue, word for the wise, people wouldn't be calling you a corporate shill (your title), if you got giddy over games that weren't exclusively on microsoft consoles.

Point.

Actually, sound builds atmosphere. You can have all the eyecandy in the world and it still wouldn't matter if you haven't got a good soundtrack and sound effects to back it up. Games with no eyecandy but with a good sound selection can be extremelly engaging.

[Colonol Dekker]

Can i just say sound and visuals do nothing except present the desingers pre-visualised world. The original Zork Games were great becaus they gave you something to comprehend for yourself whilest retaining interactive genius-ness.

a game is nothing without sound..

Shodan Taunting you in System shock, the groans of the many and their cries of "run away", etc.
the slow shuffling of a zombie in a game like doom 3
the chitter of a headcrab in HL2.
the scuttling of a creeper in condemned, which has you looking all over the place in the dark looking for where that sound came from.

I'm sorry, but the question was clearly marked with a question mark at the end of the sentence. We will add illiteracy to the list of your flaws.

Oh ho ho.

Your post comes a day after my edit. Plenty of time to read my post.

So not only are you illiterate, you don't seem to be able to tell time as well. No concept of time. We will add that to your list of brain deficiencies.

[aldo_14]

Oh, for ****s sake, you two grow up.  How old are you, twelve?

Fair enough, I'm not immune from being a dick in these types of thread.  But I've never descended to the level of scrabbling twattitude I see here before me.  Jeebus.

[BlackDove]

Yes, and I'm sure your parents are very proud of you.

I just don't care. Getting the shill tangled up in my web of retarded-ness just passes the boredom for the most part. The emanating bonus is just simply having that justified by each consecutive proof or stupidity he posts.

[aldo_14]

Yes, and I'm sure your parents are very proud of you.

My parents are very proud of me, in fact, although I'm not sure why you mention it.

You're looking just as shill worthy, though......

[Flipside]

If not worse....

[BlackDove]

Oh no. I've been so dramatically beneath myself I have turned into a shill. And I have bystanders to point that out to me. NOEZ!

Give me a ****ing break.

I wouldn't even be posting here if the Microsoft employee wasn't trying to push their ****ty merchandise here.

[Turnsky]

alright deepblue, Blackdove, take it to PM..
