My favorite team-based multiplayer FPSs are Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Tribes (original), and Left 4 Dead. I only played CS a few times and never really got into it. We were doing some interesting things with character interactions and game play, and I think that the setting was novel for an RPG.Īre you good at Counter-Strike? If somehow you got the chance to finish only one of them, which one would it be and why ? I know that's a common answer, but it's the truth.īaldur's Gate III, Van Buren, Aliens. It's probably still Radiohead's OK Computer. However, I do think that games with top-down/isometric combat (like the gold box games) can still be viable in some markets. In that sense, I don't think the genre will ever move back to the Wizardry/Might and Magic era. I think that CRPGs are now defined heavily by how they allow the player to express the personality of their character(s) in meaningful ways throughout the game.

Do you think computer roleplaying games can go back to the simpler and more focused style they had when Wizardry, Might & Magic, or Pools of Radiance were popular? Do you feel the kitchen sink approach has really stretched content and variety today?
