And before even that game, there was:

Exactly. They shouldn’t have said anything so bold.
You know, it’s been a while since you decried the Elite Dangerous Kickstarter. They’ve done a fair bit of work since. What do you think of the project as it is stands now?

I’m leery of declaring games to be the first X, simply because games usually don’t work that way. For every supposedly revolutionary game like Doom you’ll find an Ultima Underworld propping it up, but which of the two is remembered today?

(The answer is both of them, but Doom got the better end of the deal.)

More recently, I caught TIME making a pretty glaring mistake by declaring Quake the “first true 3D game”, despite games like Descent having come before.

I’d actually be up for playing the ME3 multiplayer again sometime, if only to die in the last round trying to headbutt a giant robot.

I think the issue with recent games was that the teams ended up creating nearly two separate games – Battlefield 3′s hateful campaign feels nothing like the multiplayer and adds nothing to it, but must have consumed a huge amount of developer time on something that was incredibly poorly conceived at the top level. One of the best examples of a wasted potential for a campaign mode for that game. At least Bad Company 2 was kinda funny.

Realistic is one of those gaming buzzwords that stops meaning anything if you say it enough times.

Yeah, I loved the concept of this game, but I held off buying it. Huge download size (I find it hilarious that most of it is audio, which I’d never have guessed was a problem), steep price and likely poor longevity for an arena shooter meant that I doubted I’d be playing it a month from now. I was burned by Battlefield 3 before where I bought it for £35 and played for a few weeks before everyone drifted off to other things, and I’m quite happy filling up my limited free time at the moment with getting torn out of the sky by LaGGs.

I suppose CoD represents the evolutionary end state of a certain branch of FPS, so anything that achieves a similar level of polish probably will look not too dissimilar.
