        Thats a nice argument, why don't you back it up with a source.

        Will that be leaded or unleaded sir?

          I still want to know the context behind that picture. Romero said it was staged but that explains.

      It's actually even worse than that... he makes mobile trash for a living now.

        Eh, that man probably needs to be stuck in an indie studio to permanently keep his ego AND his ambition in check. Apparently his wife wrangles him in those regards by either producing or directing those games and keeping him in the programming and designing areas he's actually good at.

        I think empire of sin was his wife more than him. Only just learned that it got abandoned after paradox sold season passes for DLC that never got released. No idea how living in galway has treated them.

      It's not like he just got lucky. The only coincidence was John Carmack getting hired by Softdisk at the same time. But Romero had already been selling games on his own for a while.

      he made that taco game at least

      Wasn't that his son?

      Blackroom is dead and gone. This is a different game.

      Somewhat charitable to consider it to have ever been alive in the first place.

        He did get lucky. Not by making a good game, but by said game blowing up the way it did. By all means, the cavalier rock star attitude could be attributed to being a young and dumb guy.

      Well Carmack shat out Doom 3 and RAGE, so I don't think he's very talented either

        Doom 3 is a classic that many with good taste appreciate, romero popped out diekatana (and bankrupted LGS indirectly) he must never be allowed to produce any more gaming media, he is too awful

        Doom 3 is underrated and RAGE would have been remembered more fondly if they didn't drag ass with the development

          >iD pointed the finger back with receipts showing they made AMD aware of the driver problem well in advance
          That's about all I remember of that game.

            RAGE had the worst issue that any video game could ever have, will ever have, and would have. It was boring. A boring game fails at it's utmost core.

              Everything that wasn't the shooting was boring, which sucks since you spend a lot of time backtracking/driving between shooting locations. It's still one of the top-3 games up there for hit reactions from enemies due to the procedural animations blending.
