Ok, let me lower my iq for a post. Keep up with the stinking thread, sales
makes no difference in the quality of a game, that's why it doesn't matter
about the sales of Deer Hunter in this thread, nor does it matter what the
popular opinion is about hunting in general in real life IN THIS THREAD.
There are 5 Deer Hunter titles and a host of others in the genre. Does that
mean they are good? Hell no! Does it mean there are more titles though and
that the company can do different titles and genres because of those sales?
Hell yes! The whole point of my initial response was not to infuriate
foreigners as YOU might think, it was to show that personal preference has
nothing to do with the quality of a game, whatever that game is, and
following later, that those titles that bring home the bacon aren't
necessarily great games but should be respected. This world has many
different peoples and tastes and a game should not be counted as not good
for a simmer because they don't like racing ovals or that they don't like
the concept of hunting. I am a big fan of GPL and what it accomplished. It's
still fun to drive. But, driving an old car around a bunch of tracks that
either don't exist or have been changed a lot since, doesn't keep my
attention long and doesn't simulate anything but a fantasy world since most
of us weren't alive during that period. Sorry. On the other hand, it did
allow for Papyrus to get a rudementary version of the next physics engine
out the door for the next NASCAR title (without tire model and the pit
experience) and I respect that immensely. The fact that the plans for
NASCAR3's physics being the same or near same model as GPL's being scrapped
and delayed until Nascar4, was a direct result of that game's financial
failure, whether France did well or not. Does that mean the game is bad?
Nope. Does that mean I quit driving the game? Maybe in stints but I do fire
it up every once in a while. Does that mean that I don't respect the game
and what it brings to the table? No. Does that mean that the simmer does not
have it well because of personal preference about racing ovals? No, and
that's the whole point. Ok, recharging iq level ...
