Basically Quake 3 match videos. Some of those rocket predictions in the really large maps are pure wonder.

Lurdiak posted:This is a huge one. They're still not letting characters start with the full punch/kick combos, but now they all have a limited number of special moves they start with that are all meant to highlight their character specialties. The wrestler has a piledriver, the luchador has an aerial move, etc. The milk run quest is the dumbest poo poo in the game and now it's 1/3rd as obnoxious, characters no longer have grapple positions that are useless to them.... There's still some bugs, including the pretty major online save bug they've been working on fixing since launch, but we're reaaaally close to where I can say "They fixed the game". What does the boxer start with now because I loved playing as him but did not love his bottom-rung pitiful starting moveset. Do we now get info on what items and foods do what as well? Terrible starting movesets and deliberately obtuse items were what soured me but if those get fixed up enough I'll dive back in

Can anyone recommend any real good Nier (1) LPs? I never finished it and I'm not sure I got very far (I found Emil I think?) and I'm not going to find my 360 to play it again but want to go into Nier 2 prepared.

I don't agree that consecutive Quakes felt like evolution, it's more like those games branched out. There's a reason why Quakeworld was still its own thing long after Q3's release, it just played differently imo. It's a faster game where you had to balance how much damage you can do to yourself in order to get a mobility edge over others.

Quake 2 was my first mouse FPS. This might have affected how I felt about the evolution, but the changes definitely felt as though they contributed to the growth of the genre.

I played the poo poo out of Q3 Arena first on Dreamcast and then properly on PC. I remember looking at previews for it in Game Informer and thinking "how can graphics get any better than this." Despite all odds graphics have found a way to get better since then but I was totally blown away at the time.

I laugh at how I use to think playing Quake 2 with a mouse was odd to me. Quake, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and Warcraft II were my first multiplayer games.

There is that new Quake in development too, but it's an arena shooter. I want a new single player remake of Quake and I want Trent Reznor to do the soundtrack again.

Doom 2 (at the time second 3D game I've ever seen after Wolfenstein 3D) Quake 2 (woah you can't see pixels, how is this possible) GTA 3 (oh my god, you can run in any direction in a giant 3D city with no loading screens, what?) Burnout 3 Takedown (I told my cousin that this is how real-life cars look and it will be hard to get better than this) Oblivion (the classic out-of-the-cave moment many people had) LA Noire (facial animations) Battlefront (I was actually shocked how much this game literally looked like Star Wars movies at all times) Uncharted 4 would be the latest one where I really felt a jump in quality in comparison to other games There were probably a few others that I forgot.

Palpek posted:Everybody list your game-graphics shock moments: For me, it's Half Life 2. I've only ever really been a PC gamer, but it's the first game I associate with "Next Gen" graphics, even though I'm sure Doom 3 was more advanced technically. While yes, a lot of the game's visuals have aged, they've done it relatively gracefully and I can always go back to it without thinking it looks primitive. I've got similar feelings for STALKER, although that's 100% because of the environment, atmosphere and lighting.

Mario 64 was probably the biggest  moment for me: Giant 3d levels that you could freely explore with a camera that you could move and look around with blew lil' me's mind. gently caress around on a stage exploring every little nook and cranny and eventually you'd even find a star! I can't think of any other game that fascinated me that way just by being in 3d.

Scrublord Prime posted:Mario 64 was probably the biggest Yeah, Super Mario 64 was huge for me, as was Ocarina of Time. After that I don't know if I ever had any graphics  moments after that until maybe The Witcher 2, where I found the environments to be really, really impressive. And then again in The Witcher 3, then Uncharted 4, and I've had some times in Horizon where I just stop and go, "God drat."

Do we now get info on what items and foods do what as well? Terrible starting movesets and deliberately obtuse items were what soured me but if those get fixed up enough I'll dive back in I would guess that the boxer comes with the rushing punch, which is the neutral special move. Adds a lot of mobility and feels nice, but I'm still not happy about the combo chain being mostly guesswork. I think that some of the move commands are mislabeled, too, with some commands triggering with a K instead of a P, but it's impossible to tell what move is activating when they're all variations of punches. The item thing bugged me to and I get that it's a call back to the original and requiring me to make mental or physical notes on what items do isn't a deal breaker, but I bought the most expensive thing at the comic store and I don't think it gave me any feedback on how it affected my character.

Doom, Final Fantasy 7, Golden Eye, Unreal, Doom 3, MGS2, Halo, Dead Rising, Final Fantasy 13, and more recently Uncharted 4 and HZD have all sort of caused me some future shock with graphics and design. It's rarer these days just because that poo poo is expected I guess. Growing up playing on an Apple II, Atari 2600, and Nintendo and now playing on a PS4,WiiU, and gaming PC means I have experienced nearly the entire gamut in real time and it kinda feels weird.

Playing games in HD on a PC after a lifetime of consoles played on fuzzy old CRTs was probably the most I've been blown away by graphics but it was also incredibly bittersweet because it made me realize how ugly almost everything I had played up to that point was beneath the blur and the fuzz.

Their TV was bigger than me  Doom was another pretty big one because up until that point I had been living off of Wolf3D running on a 286, in that tiny postage stamp sized window. The return to 120Hz+ after a decade or so of the shitheap that was 60Hz high persistence LCD monitors is probably the biggest one as of lately.
