I played the new Wolfenstein for like 3 hours and then played Counterstrike. Same with Tales of Vesperia and Fallout 4 actually. Counterstrike is my video game now, there is no video game but Counterstrike.

counterstrike will not be a fun game until they remove all sniper rifles that aren't the scout

WoW used to be good and fun but has been dull since Karazhan.

Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep were bad at first, but they fixed something and they stopped sucking, but by then it was Hyjal time which was good and fun.

CSGO just desperately needs a non-ranked mode that is identical to competitive so you can play with your very differently ranked friends.

All non-competitive modes in right now are garbage for playing more than 10 minutes of.

they each have their place but sometimes you don't want a super runny cheese!

Sniper rifles have been bad in every fps game ever, plus 1 shot kill weapons shouldn't exist unless they're a headshot.

Rocket Launchers should be one shot kill weapons.

Arms Race is occasionally fun but only if you only use knife, and try to knife the points leaders since it puts them back a weapon. I don't understand why, since its such a casual mode, but this really gets people raging sometimes

rocket jumping should work but when you land you shouldnt have feet anymore and have to drag your body around with one arm while posting up with your launcher in the other.

They should also kill you if you have a wall too close behind you. I think that was in an old ww2 game.

the panzerfaust in rtcw had something like a 40sec cooldown and 3 or 4 rounds. while it was on cooldown all you had was a pistol.

it was good

Demo and Arms Race are fun, but only for maybe 2 games.

They get old real quick.

Arms Race is super duper fun, but it should never be confused with CS in any way. It's basically a minigame, treat it as such and you'll have a blast.

... this stuff was like nearly 10 years ago. it doesn't even take into account wrath of the lich king which was the best expansion and had the best raid (ulduar).

that said there have been plenty of good raids since. as underwhelming as this latest expansion was, the raid content was well made, at least.

Did I miss party game chat?

You guys should play Guillotine. It's a really fun card-based party game where you play as an executioner during the French Revolution who wants to kill as many noblemen as possible. It takes 45 minutes per game, maximum. Machine of Death is another nice game, but I can never find anyone who wants to play because it's collaborative and not competitive.

For longer games, I really like Ticket to Ride and its infinite variations.

Man all this talk makes me miss CoD fun on XBL. CoD4, and Blops (1 and 2) were so much fun. WaW sucked. The MW games were a mixed bag, but it was hilarious being able to run around with a grenade launcher and perk that essentially gave you unlimited ammo for it.

Yes but when you can't play real CS with your friends because of some nonsense system where you are either too good or too bad to play with them, it's a dumb system.

Well I can only talk about what I played, and I quit after BC and only came back at the end of Pandalandia and played casually. I was mainly refuting Busb. Seige of Ogg and the Troll raids were fine and good too. Anything with Pandas was just plain boring. I didn't do the raids in the last xpac because I didn't have the time to play so never got around to raid finding on them.

Zone wise, Northrend dragged, Cataclysm was great, Pandaria sucked, New Outlands was a mix but I never got into it properly.
Oh and Vanilla/BC were good zonewise.

Blizzard games are too far up their own rear end.

right? they're the BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE... of video games developers

their games are so hopelessly unfun for me that i feel baffled everyone else doesn't see their games for how unnecessarily complicated and psychologically exploitative they are

best recent video games you may not have heard about dear reader:
Legend of Dungeon - a cool roguelike that you can play co-op, and if you're streaming on twitch people can send you challenges/gifts. it's way cool, way modern, and the devs are awesome, if a little awkward.

In Verbis Virtus - a game where you need to use a mic to cast spells! feel like the world's laziest wizard, reclining back and screaming at your computer for hours on end!

Chaos Reborn - a cool bluffing rpg/chess hybrid, that actually is made by the same people who made the original in the 80s if you ever played that. the graphics are sweet and imaginative, and the game is fun and competitive while offering local play (even against computers if you want to distract your kids with it)

board games (in no particular order): Mysterium, Zombicide, Machine of Death, Betrayal at House on the Hill, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Mascarade, King of Tokyo and my own favorite misunderstood gem: Fluxx

actually i lied, mysterium is the greatest game ever, and fluxx is the best, the absolute best when you have people who are not adversarial, but are competitive, and yet have the self control to call it quits - it's the ideal game to have fun without going overboard and getting too into it

If you don't dislike jrpgs, undertale is great. If you can't stand the genre, then I can understand not liking it though. You really should give Wolfenstein: The New Order a go, it's one of my favourite FPS games ever.

Blokus is one of my favourite board games. It's really not all that different from the board games you play as a child, but it's a really great warmup game. My friends and I would have board game night once a week at someone's house and we'd play Blokus when we first got there and/or when people were taking turns cooking, and then after dinner we'd try something more involved like Power Grid or Small World.
