Well, looky here...

Q4 is EXACTLY what i had expected. Nothing new, but Quake2 and 3 in one package with shiny graphics... sounds good to me. Just what the doctor ordered. It's getting lower scores for various reasons:
1) people were expecting a revolution. My thought: Think again... it's a shooter. AND it's got a Quake name
2) They overrated Doom3, and are now very careful with ID games... (and yes, this IS a reason... FFS... they gave Doom3 94% or something???)

FEAR is something different in multiple regards:
1) it's scary
2) it seems solid enough
3) it's made by a not-so-big company
Hence it's getting rock solid reviews all round...

My prediction is that Q4 is the new king of the multiplayer hill and the new status quo for the modding scene.
Doom3 was too slow to be really good in multiplayer, and, as the 16 player cap on Q4 might come as a shock to some, i say "who cares - 90% of people never play with less than that anyway"

Yar girlfriend, My Mind is not new to the notion of sacrifices that need to be made! It's for the best mate, so I can take my time , and play all these great t1tles all day long for 3 weeks - 1 month about!

I could buy the games now, but What do I play when I am on leave? PLus, by the time I get the games, I have tonns of mods and patches and addons and stuff for them, so it's just gonna make the gaming experience so much better, don't you think?

Yeah girlfriend - but surely you don't have to save all the games for that time?

And girlfriend - you finish games way too quickly! Maybe you save too often or something...

Exactly dude. It's gonna be a huge waste, but that's just the way it is. TO prove it, when I get fear, I will sms you when i install it, and I will send you a piccie of the ending movie or something on your cellphone. Like I told you before, I dont just run and gun throught games, I like taking my time, but As you know, I play about 8 hours of games on weeknights. Weekends, when I wake up, first thing I do before I go to the fridge is put my pc on! I will easily play form a saterday morning, to a sunday morning about 4 bells, non stop, no problem!!!!!

The cool thing though, is the fact that fear has awesome replayability, so I wont get bored of it to soon! wich is a bonus. ANd NFSMW will keep me vewy vewy busy aswell!

Dude, To me games are like movies, I dont care how long it is or whatever, I hate intermissions, And who watches only 30mins of their favourite movies at a time, huh?
