Most video games suck. Just play the ones that don't suck.

I used to like a lot of games but lately I cannot find one that really captures my attention. It's basically been a pointless endeavour since dark souls 1.

Wicker Man posted:My first real online gaming experience in Quake 2 went something like this when I finally joined and loaded the server map: Oh yes, I think all of us who remember the dial up days went through that. We didn't get DSL in my area until pretty late. I vaguely remember Mplayer, from when I first started gaming when I was really young. I did use gamespy though! And of course I went to planetquake to read Lowtax articles

enraged_camel posted: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. Then people would complain about not seeing everything on their first playthrough. Listen, I will not dispute that EA, Blizzard and others are lazy and simply want a Streamlined Content Delivery System so as to garner as much money as possible. "Just have ten or so different plot points and conclusions" and have it not be purely text-based or with simplistic 2D graphics and the coder mumbling into a circa 2000 microphone is impossible on any schedule. If I proposed anything like that on Kickstarter, people would roll on the floor laughing, that poo poo is a pipe dream, and these are the people that gave $2.5 million to FTL It's why Minecraft was so popular, the illusion of freedom without the need to create a story or actual graphics that represent things coherently

i have fond memories of medal of honour allied assault and return to castle wolfenstein, so i reinstalled both. the omaha beach landing in 2002 was pretty crazy. now, in the future, it's pretty poo poo. the better omaha beach landing is that pointe du hoc level in call of duty 2. but call of duty 2 is utter dog poo poo, apart from that level. return to castle wolfenstein owned in 2001. and it owns now. and will forever own

Throwing pipe bombs into an elevator to surprise the assholes on the next floor was always fun Plus I always loved all that cheesy interaction poo poo you could do with the environment. And Return to Castle Wolfenstein does still rock, but gently caress that "fat wall edge" issue when sniping.

Wicker Man posted:Throwing pipe bombs into an elevator to surprise the assholes on the next floor was always fun those are cool things, but then you spend 15 minutes circling the same area to find an exit, and when you find it it's only a secret area. in one level there are two paths. i took the one on the right and ended up in a giant chasm with plenty of paths but no escape.turns out i had to take the one on the left first, and then, through no action of your own, the terrain of the right path completely changes so you can progress. gently caress you.

Far Cry 4, Alien Isolation, Castlevania: LOD2, Ground Zeroes, Shadows of Mordor, Dragon age 3 and countless other games that came out last year were amazing. Same with movies, Whiplash and Birdman, Guardians of the Galaxy and John Wick. Movies and games are better than ever before, you old fuckwads. Music is dying though.

I had fun with Borderlands 2. Mr Torgue owns. I was having a good time on Diablo 3 too before I just abruptly stopped playing it because I had just built a PC. Maybe I'll buy it on PC and just start over. Destiny sucked big balls though for sure. I don't even want to trade it in because Gamestop is the worst and I don't want to have some other poor soul make the same mistake I did in purchasing the game. But mainly because Gamestop is the loving worst.

Dare I suggest that Titanfall is a good game?. The multiplayer campaign was a let down and had really cheesy dialogue, but the potential is definitely there for the sequel in terms of the world-building, and it has been done successfully before in Conker: Reloaded (which everyone has forgotten about) and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. In a few years I can see Titanfall being viewed as a cult game that didn't receive the recognition it deserved, because it's so easy to hate on due to it's connection to CoD and EA. They put a great deal of effort into the whole conflict between miners/colonists and the environments, and there's tons of stuff going on during a match, dropships, ziplines, mechs stomping around, drop pods crashing down. It's really exciting stuff. Most people in this thread seem to be the type that would blow it off because it's a shooting game with men in future armour, but if you have an appreciation for good sci-fi design and atmosphere, it's definitely worth playing. They've added a whole new co-op mode that's similar to ME3 co-op as well if you're not into PVP.

opus111 posted:Just do what I do op: download snes and game boy emulators and play some decent games. It's free, too. I did this with my PSP and now I can have the hand held experience of mah childhood all over again. I used to have that 'Super Gameboy' add on for SNES which let you plug gameboy games into it to play them on TV with a controller. There are still a lot of good old games which conviently can be bought from goodoldgames.com - Though I've found that I genuinely do not like some of the games I used to play anymore, which kind of suggests that gamers put up with old games because there wasn't anything else. Being young also helps because your imagination is good at making its own fun. toggle posted:Anyone remember zone 66? A fun game Holy poo poo thanks for reminding me of one of the best games ever.

That looks like crap. Ultra-hard retro platformers are all the rage these days but some of them are just loving lazy. VVVVVV, super meat boy, IWTBTG, just don't seem interesting. Woo, die a hundred times until you can play a level from muscle memory and get to the next... identical level that also looks as interesting as a lazy newgrounds flash from 2005. The retro throwback games that actually build on the best aspects of old games they draw inspiration from and add clever things to the formula are the ones worth playing. Freedom Planet, MURI, Shovel Knight, MegaMan Unlimited, etc.

Wizgot posted:Has anyone gone back to the roots of gaming? I have a Super Nintendo and find I get much more enjoyment out of that. Who the gently caress needs Madden 15? Techmo Super Bowl is the best football game ever except for the constant fumbles and interceptions but that just makes it more interesting. You want some quality action adventure? Pop in Super Metroid and play that poo poo for an hour. No tedious going back and forth (ok maybe a little). You want a solid platformer to play for five minutes before you have to go to work the night shift? Super Mario World. No updates just straight to the action. ur a hipster op
