I suspect it's a generational thing.
I have never played Dune 2, but everybody played Counter-Strike and Half-Life.
Warcraft 3, Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament ware also common and popular.
- mcv 4y agoYeah, I didn't play any of those. I played quite a bit of Doom and Doom 2, but after that, I was mostly done with FPS games. Same as playing Dune 2 but being done with RTS games. I mostly played RPGs and turn-based strategy after that, which is why to me, this period feels like a turning point between everybody playing all the great games across genres, and people gravitating towards their favourite genre. But it's entirely possible that it's more a matter of age. It makes sense that when you're young, you try everything and when you get older, you stick with your favourites. Although some classics still break through genre barriers. Like Portal or Minecraft.
- ido 4y agoYeah I'm pretty sure it is - I'm 39 (so a bit younger than you) and for me "everyone played" Half Life and Starcraft! When I graduated high school at 2001 I played a lot less for quite a few years.
