I feel sorry for you. I can understand not liking a game, but always attacking other comments and the people that have authored them is what has me pitying you the most. Oh and excuse my grammar if I've made some mistakes, but english is my second of three (3) fluent languages. And the pre-teens, teens and adults that post on this site should be able to do so without worrying about someone they've never met trying to bully them. I see only one truly immature poster in this thread, and I think you already know who you are. And no, it isn't me. :roll: Poor Phil Mig.

If they become popular, do they have to re-invent themselves as well in order to become more successful?" They do if they expect me to buy the sequels. Why pay $50 or so for the same old game with just a new coat of paint? I won't. If a sequel doesn't add something(s) substantial to the original game aside from prettier graphics, then I see no reason to waste additional money on it. Here, Team Fortress 2 adds no single-player campaign or even just bot play to the original. It doesn't even add any new gameplay modes or classes to the game. All it is is just the same old multiplayer-only game with cartoonish graphics. While I can conceivably see TFC lemmings in the PC crowd still playing this game six months after release since like-minded idiots of the Counterstrike crowd bought into Counterstrike Source despite it being the same game as its predecessor, there is no such Team Fortress following amongst console players. So like Counterstrike for the XBOX, I think Team Fortress 2 will die a quiet death shortly after release with the console crowd. There's just not enough in TF2 to draw them in and keep them hooked for long. "In other words… if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Better words would be, if it ain't broke, don't buy a new one. “There are plenty of new IPs with new gameplay mechanics coming out this year.

I want my old TFC game with updated graphics and I want to be able to play it on my shiny new PC, PS3, or Xbox 360. What is wrong with wanting to play with an old formula that has worked for years? Am I wrong for wanting to play games like Sam & Max then since it's the same old point-n-click type game? Not everything has to be shiny and new to be a success. There are plenty of new IPs with new gameplay mechanics coming out this year. If they become popular, do they have to re-invent themselves as well in order to become more successful?

Not really. Giving the characters victory taunts is hardly new (Star Trek Elite Force and UT2003/4 had them among others) and it doesn't really affect gameplay at all unless players stand around and gawk during them instead of playing.
