ahaha! :D

Honestly don't see what he found so offensive about your imagination in the first place. But while we're handing out life lessons, I'd suggest people chill out. We're talking about video games on a forum; I know sometimes I need to be reminded. :)
 
Or not cut

I'm starting to think they are laying ground work for why the game sucks.

"You didn't like it? What system? Oh yeah, we had to make changes because of the other console's inferiority"
 
One thing about changing disks people aren't looking at is that there's a pretty big difference between swapping disks in a slow paced role playing game vs. an action style game.
Still, I think they're just making excuses. id hasn't really done anything all that great in a long time. Quake 3 was pretty much the last time and that was nearly a decade ago. Since then the only decent games that have had the id name on them were created elsewhere and simply "produced" by id.

I don't really see how, except that most action games can be completed in a single sitting. It's not like you have to constantly change disks. You play on the first disk until you get to a certain point, and from there on you just use the second disk for everything, until you get to the point where you need the third disk.

Quake 3 was good for a little while, until Unreal Tournament came out. IMO.

no offense, but you're in the marginal group with that statement. For years now Q3 has been seen as the de facto FPS based on skill. If you can dominate anything or anyone in Q3, you can take anyone in all other FPS.

While this is absolutely true, UT was more FUN to play. For those who wanted to be TEH UBERZ!!111!11 Q3 was the ultimate, it was challenging - and it took real skill to be the best. However, UT had balance - still took skill, but it was easier to get the hang of and the flow/pace was a little bit nicer.

UT>Q3 imho
 
One thing about Q3 is that it was so back-to-basics, only the hardcore crowd really cared. It was okay with mods like Rocket Arena, but straight out of the box it was pretty sparse.
UT was more chaotic and random, but was definitely a more polished game.
For the truly hardcore, Counter-Strike nabbed a lot of that crowd back when it was simply a mod for Half-Life. I know I ended up dropping Q3 completely once I started playing CS. UT still kept my attention just because it was so over the top and different.
