    What? Who didn’t like Unreal? It was groundbreaking, a milestone of its time. In my area and peergroup, everybody loved it.

      Yeah. Over time it got seriously overshadowed by Half Life, but back in the day? It was mind-blowing.

        true. But in hindsight, both were awesome with different aspects. Half-Life had a much more long-lasting experience through its modding capabilities - and an outstanding story. Unreal was visually and technically beautiful and had a mind-blowing athmosphere - but of course a single player game isn’t as longlasting as Half-Life was. (I know it had multiplayer, but at least in my perspective this was not Unreal’s focus - which changed dramatically with Unreal Tournament)

      I thought it was awful. The graphics and the 2d textures looked weird and the movement was absurd. It was unplayable. UT, on the other hand, was fantastic.
