Anyone that thinks Romero wasn't sitting there going "how can we make this more awesome" when he made Nazis fall holding their jugular and trying to stem the bleeding in Wolfenstein is an idiot.
Yes, there are things that clearly reek of overtrying, like pretty much anything Paul Steed did, but "awesome" isn't even being used like that here.
Christ that was an oddly nitpicking post.
You nitpicked his post twice. We get it, move on.
I was responding to the people applauding him.
I don't know how much they expect a guy to say when using a medium that limits you to 140 characters. And hell, I still remember the first time I loaded up the X-Com and Jagged Alliance demos. "Oh my god this is so awesome!" I don't get why people interpret this to be "we're going to have clowns and chainsaws and hookers!" and not just "this is going to be the most amazing thing you've ever played." Some people are just built to interpret everything in the worst possible manner. Hey Dude, you just won the lottery: "goddamn it now I need to worry about relatives calling me and find a good stock broker and figure out what color Ferrari I should get - my life just went to shit."
