Concerned Citizen posted:qtes and minigames are pretty much everything wrong with video games now. also open world games. The real crime in DX:HR was almost having an engaging plotline and setting, the sidequests were interesting but failed to cover the rush job that it was Listening to the commentary, they were all, "We debated for weeks as to whether or not to let the player murder people in the LIMB Clinic" All that time spent debating the merits of a sociopath simulator, you could have made a coherent game that did not involve The Illuminati

The correct argument is probably closer to "the best game in a specific series is guaranteed to be one of its first four games."

Unconvinced-sounding female announcer: New video game is ready to change the way you think about video games FOREVER. (3-5 seconds of men in future armor running around shooting lasers at each other) Male pattern baldness guy in hornrims sitting with his back to a computer screen: We wanted the power-ups to give the player the feeling of being very cool and powerful. Announcer: In new video game, players can customize their own character with weapons, armor, and skills.

MECHWARRIOR 4 is free now and i want to get into it when i have time gta 3 series (3 to SA) ruled (even though vice city having completely flat terrain was boring sometimes) gta 4 sucked poo poo because they made the driving not fun in a driving game i played it for like 2 hours to give a it a real chance and gently caress it gta 5 had fun driving but hosed up the wanted system so its no longer fun getting 4 stars and trying to survive because theyll just keep spawning right loving next to you and where are my vigilante and fireman and ambulance missions the best thing to do in a fresh save of vice city was go to the rampage with the molotov so you can get a firetruck and get a few million dollars doing those missions because you dont suck at video games and the best thing in any gta was doing vigilante missions in sa with an mp5 on a police bike and they took it out because whoever is designing these games cant play video games

spud posted:I actually miss the SNES/Neo Geo era, where games were more linear, but 2d and finely honed. All this open-world, sandbox is just tiring. Yep, this is me and why I don't really play games any more. Obviously not having the same free time from when you were a kid contributes a lot, but I only like Zelda games like the SNES one where you can only go in like 4 different directions. I never even liked Toshinden back in the day because I liked fighting games on a 2d plane. Now I gotta learn all this other poo poo on top of moving around in 3d. I really liked Max Payne but I tried to get into part 3 but holy poo poo I cannot learn the controls. How am I supposed to remember to hold LT while pushing in the 3d pad and pressing RF to shoot my gun while ducking? I still get hosed up with where the buttons are on the controller because I'm so used to the left button being cancel and the right button being "confirm" from the SNES days. Supposedly in Japan it is still that way and their PlayStation controller buttons are even physically swapped. To be honest though, no longer enjoying video games is a positive thing so I don't fight it too much. The only thing I play these days is Smash Bros WiiU but even then I'm still using a controller from 2001 to play it and I only play with friends over because I never understood the appeal of playing games online.

Hey OP play Nintendo games. Among the big publishers, they rehash less, output higher quality, release complete games, and make the most substantial and cheap DLC. More than that though, they never forgot what a game is supposed to be.

Ragtime Cthulhu posted:Might as well destroy the Internet, since that is the only way to restore credibility to electronic gaming endeavors Well no, someone just needs to make a game where most of the gameplay and plot elements are dynamic and randomized, so that writing walkthroughs and solutions is impossible.

proof of concept posted:pretty sure quake 1 still has some diehards playing, but not many Yeah it's weird that they kinna died with Quake 3 so long ago. I guess most players these days enjoy being able to rack up kills on anyone without having to have much skill or practice in modern shooters. Back in the deathmatch days, if you were a newbie, it DID suck rear end to log in to a server and get completely owned non stop for hours while trying to learn the game.You could easily be playing for several hours without a single kill if you joined the wrong server vs regulars who knew the maps, armor/health locations, re-spawn timers and were skilled with all the weapons.

Pawn 17 posted:Yeah it's weird that they kinna died with Quake 3 so long ago. My first real online gaming experience in Quake 2 went something like this when I finally joined and loaded the server map: Spawn to see a guy with the human male model somehow blended with the strogg infantry skin jumping towards me with a rocket launcher, then freezing in mid air. The ominous brown "unplugged" connection problem symbol taking up the top corner of my screen. I sit there staring at it for like 5 minutes waiting for it to get going while Cow & Chicken is playing on the living room TV behind me. Every minute or so the game twitches with a quip blip of noise then freezes again. Ahhh, dial up with AOL on Mplayer and Heat.net
