benefits from being perceived as a piece of experimental visual artwork instead of a video game. it's normal for japanese sensory toys to reach their developmental conclusion with the first one of the pattern, so their fans are naturally hesitant to pay attention to any better first person shooters

'boomer shooter' is a fittingly low self-esteem term for whatever washed up impersonator garbage the kids are playing, overseen by a fratbro with a forehead dent and his harem of diaper fetishists. i'm too busy playing 'intelligentsia shooters' instead, you shouldn't settle for less in life either

the forerunner to every lone wolf tactical fps with binoculars. punches above its weight with vibes and strafejumping

no one who didn't mind the series trajectory started with mw2 can make up a single coherent reason for why they don't like this game

straferunning is too great of a sacrifice for... what tangible benefit, exactly?

the goals of an atmospheric tech showcase survival horror and a competent quake 2 follow-up designed from the ground up for nightmare cancel each other out as the former is made a spook house stroll and the latter is intended as ng+
