Poll: Epic Games

[Spartan Bannana]

So anyway, I told my one of my friends I disliked Epic Game Studios, and felt that UTIII and Gears of War were mediocre games, he called me the devil incarnate and I started to wonder if I was the only one of my kind
What do all of you think of Epic Games?

 

[s0ap sudz]

I don't really like their games, but no need to dislike the studio...

 

[Bowstring]

They created the Unreal Engine, which has been used in countless brilliant games. For that reason alone, I shaln't condemn them to the fiery pits of hell/Australia.

 

[Death Magnetic]

They make very generic shooters. The thing is that's good because they're not trying to out do themselves. Also, the graphics of the games are immense for the xbox.

 

[minoes]

Some day they´ll make the good one.

 

[NeedAUserName]

I think they have the right idea's and kick ass graphics, but don't follow through with these ideas particularly well. I mean UT3 could have had an amazing story mode, but it didn't and instead thought winning wars through capture the flag was a better way.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

I really don't care about graphics, as long as things are discernible and not too blocky I'm okay with it as long as it's a good game, so honestly, while the Unreal Engine is cool, I don't love it that much

[unholy vagrant]

I like the Unreal Engine, but the games that the studio makes aren't very good.

 

[Piemaster]

Well I'm a fan of Unreal Tournament, so I like the studio.

 

[minoes]

The problem with Epic is that they are programers, not game designers.

 

[Unknower]

Jazz Jackrabbit! Was great!

I liked the original Unreal games, but everything since has been poor. I give them a score of poopy. But I will not slander them openly. I never really hate on a studio, just the games.

Agreed.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Awww, I thought this would be a thread where we discuss the most epic games out there.

Anyways, I hate them a lot, so you're not alone.

 

[42manZ]

Awww, I thought this would be a thread where we discuss the most epic games out there.

I thought that too, that's why I got the Mass Effect handbook ready.

I'm sure there's some game out there that uses the Unreal Engine that I like, otherwise I don't like their games.

 

[QuadrAlien]

I don't mind Epic overall, I just wonder who in the studio keeps thinking it's a good idea to remove Assault mode from the Unreal Tournament games.

 

[pha kin su pah]

i feel utterly dissappointed for there not being a "i want CliffyB's babies" option.

so i went with yes...

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

They're fine, they make better than decent games and produce a powerhouse engine.

I just don't see why their games have to look the same.

 

[Asehujiko]

I used to like them untill they released GoW exclusively on the xbox and then gave the pc one of the crappiest ports i've seen so far 1 year overdue.

 

[Anton P. Nym]

I like Epic. I'm not a huge fan (like I am of other studios) but they do solid stuff and the Unreal Engine *is* an important middleware package in the industry.

(Though I may be biased, as I know a couple of folks who worked there in Test.)
