"Gorky 17" for MOS

[JoannaK]

Lempkee: agree..  Hyperion don't own any monopoly there..  Not to that game nor to any other game that matters.

Ross: My wish for this all is that If people only would bother to read Reviews of the game before hypeing so much.. Gorky 17 is four years old game that was never any hit, not excellent, nor even real good... Just average among thousands others..  

I do understand that on minimall selection (games to OS4) it may well be among top 3 ... but it ain't making it great game instantly. I really would like to see those people analyzed who are honestly claiming that they are going to purchase a new 1000Euros machine to run a  port of 5-year old and average quality PC-game.   :-o

What I'd rather see is Divine Divinity port from Epic.. It is much better RPG in it and it was woted among best RPG.s on year ago.  Sure.. it's not among *THE* big hits either, but on it's case it has more to do with lack of marketting than weakness of game itself.

Ross: It was not targetted to you (alone).... I'm just amazed how many people around Amiga are so detached from reality. Be it dicsussion about games, having Opera browser, or remaking old hardware for Retro.use.

Like this idea of yours of someone actually purchasing Amigaone for playing this Game.. With price of Aone one can have game console (any 3 major brand one likes) and at least fifteen brand new Hit games.  And considering that plenty games favorably comparable (age/quality) to this Gorky are available as discount (or re-releases) with pricetags around 20 Euros.  

For example .. I got PS2 game Zone of the Enders unused/unopened 10 Euros from local supermarket. It's not among top-10 PS2 games but has nice playability and good 3D Gfx for a game released couple years ago (2001).

I can't say about others, but to me: Game must be decent to justify purchase at all.. and real good before I bother to spend 40 or 50 Euros to it.   And no... havign it to some exotic name-platform ain't that important.

Ross: Not affording a console ... well.. it all depends on what each and everyone consideres important.

Anyhow.. How meaningless this discussion is, apparently some individuals willing to prefer anonymosity have decided to move it to ann.lu.
