Genuine gaming tourists. I want you homos out of my hobby.

Half Life 2 is also a worse game than HL1 and it wasn't published by Sierra, and I don't think it's a coincidence.

This is that game for me. You know, THAT game. Nobody talks about it, it didn't make a big impact on the industry, but I played it at the perfect time. I was 11 years old, I loved James Bond so the 60s spy aesthetic spoke to me, the comic book style was sleek, I was young enough that the slapstick humour was still funny, old enough that I could actually figure out how to use the systems. And my God, the music.
The sequel really doesn't hold a candle to it.

Sierra by the time HL2 happened was a shell of its former self, a holding company that just sold LAN Slots in Korea and whose entire income was overseas at that point.

When Roberta and Ken Willaims left Sierra, that was the end of that company as anything resembling Sierra

Metal Arms got to be the most underrated video game in the world.
It was so so so fucking fun. One of the best gun plays ever, segmented enemy damage, control over different robots with different gameplay, insanely fun mutliplayer...

By doing it all. The buisness end, the technology end, and the writing and soul end. They called themselves "on line" back in the 1970's when even a modem was a rarity.

Ken Williams was a programmer at IBM when that fucking meant something. And a large number of the heros of that early era worked with or for them. Having a CEO who could play and program video games meant they wern't publishing or working with garbage. So even shit like Ultima went through them.

And as anon says, when they left is when everything changed.

You be surprised GoG has help a lot of us play old games easily. I think it's on of the reasons the AAA market is dying on itself. They got to use to the old world of having to buy what was on the shelf and nothing else. Now you can just go back and play games that happen before you were born and enjoy them all the same.
