QFG1 Was ok, QFG2 &3 sucked, and QFG4 was one of the best games I have played.

lmao QFG 2 did not suck, its the best in the series if you have any sense at all, so much cool crazy poo poo happens in that game. QFG 4 is overrated and bugged out on me constantly when i played it as a kid.

I think RTS really peaked with the CNC series and what really killed it was EA loving with the distribution of the game and loving up the CNC franchise with cnc4, red alert 3 was ok but really dumbed down

we need a remaster of red alert 2 + yuri for modern os and I think it would easily compete with starcraft

that and fix generals

what kills most matches of traditional RTS is when both people are competent and run out of resources after they throw big armies at each other, credits should grow from a slow trickle to a shitload so you're throwing armies at each other in giant waves while dropping nukes

kinda like world in conflict

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
I own an older i7-2600k system with 16 GB of RAM, a decent video card and an SSD.

I also own an XBone and a PS4.

I like to play older games, like System Shock 2 and newer games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Halo.

Vive la difference. They are all fun.

Street Fighter V didn't support key bindings or directinput on release so people couldn't even use some Street Fighter V-branded controllers without third party tools. I don't know if they ever fixed that.

These are the truest statements of Dark Souls. They're a great game series, but FROM should never listen to the hardcore fans. The Souls community craps on new concepts (see Dark Souls 2) and just wants Dark Souls 1 repeated (see Dark Souls 3).

the reason a lot of games on pc fail is because they keep pushing graphics and completely eliminate the laptop market, its basically why RTS games have failed recently

RTS games play perfectly on a laptop and the old sprite based ones sold phenominally well, but then the modern ones pushed heavy 3d graphics that a medium cost laptop couldn't run until nowadays since you basically needed a desktop to run it

same thing happened to natural selection, you basically need a 1080ti to run that game

Agree very much with the first part but you are super wrong about the second.

Probably not the best thread to have this convo though unless I want to remind people why they hate Dark Souls fans.

The Xbox 360 is the lamest "successful" console of all time. Lamer than the Master System, lamer than the Nintendo 64, lamer than its own successor. It's like "wet paste: the console."

To me, a lot of Dark Souls 3 seems like a response to the negativity of Dark Souls 2.

Hated Life Gems? Gone!
Hated the New NPCs? Here's all of the ones from DS1, but they've got different names
Hated fun factions like Ratbros and Bellbros? Gone!

Okay, so I am simplifying things here. They did add new stuff, like Weapon Arts (special techniques based on the weapon you were using), new guilds (mostly either PVP or PVE, no 'defend an area' style guilds like in 2).

For me, Dark Souls 3 felt very... safe. It all felt like callbacks to Dark Souls 1.

Dark Souls 2 may have been rough around the edges, but it tried new stuff (Dual Wielding, multiple consumable health items, Hex class of magic, the hallowing system). And I appreciate DS2 more because of that.
