I dont really get what youre talking about here, the discussion in the last page has been about DOOM wads and LTTP which are both fantastic games in thier own right and dont need patches or mods, people have just played them to death for so long that they invent new ways to play them.

Once upon a time I played some wad that had like every single enemy and weapon from every 2.5 D shooter ever randomly sprinkled around my doom maps. All the serious doom guys hated it but I thought it was rad as hell.

All those serious map guys loved that poo poo the first time they played it, theyre just one trick ponies.

Last hitting is a stupid mechanic. Especially in how the 'difficulty' of the mechanic is driven by mostly just hero choice.

Luckily I don't have to say this anymore about NWN 1, since most everything that you "needed" to run the game at highest quality is now on the Steam Workshop.

Far Cry 2 had a bunch of neat little details that Far Cry 5 does not have. Do they make the game better? On the contrary. I remember constantly dealing with bushfires, gun jamming, the stupid map system, and being stuck in stupid animations; all those little details just made the game a drag to play and I never finished the game because I got sick of it.

Also, graphics that chase realism never hold up as well as games that have their own style.

Are you implying that the latter FC games are better? (I haven't played 5, but 4 was mind numbing)

FC1 is the best FC game.

I actually haven't been able to complete one Far Cry game besides the first one because they are so monotonous and uninteresting.

everything I've heard and seen about FC5 points to really big improvements, especially the mario-maker-type thing they have going on for custom maps.

Another example of this is Red Orchestra 1 and 2. The push to make the sequel more "realistic" made it less fun.

I feel like the modern Far Cry games are a lot of fun for like, an hour. Then it's just pure repetition for the next 10+ hours. Clear outposts, do some dull as poo poo quest. Fight the same braindead soldiers forever. Wow, now some of them have slightly more armor but are otherwise exactly the same


Repeaaat

I feel like Far Cry games would be way more fun with weirder enemies and guns so you could get more varied challenges and more dynamic world content

This is why blood dragon is my favorite. It's pretty short and I had fun clearing everything. The 90's video game box art made into a real game was a fun gimmick too. Good poo poo.

The "choices" in farcy 4 just annoyed me. Hey Anita, Sabal... how bout you both shut the gently caress up I don't care. I still did enjoy the exploring and murdering part but it went on for so long I just didn't give a poo poo about the story anymore.

The secret ending should have been the legitimate start of an alternative playthrough, instead of an easter egg. The rebels loving sucked-

LoZ 2 is the best zelda game

It’s actually one of the Miyamoto’s least favorite apparently. Not that he hates it, but he said that most of the other games evolved during the process or they made creative discoveries and built on that, whereas Zelda 2 is literally the exact game they intended from the start and he found that disappointing.

With older games sometimes stuff like community patches is the only way to get them to run on modern hardware. Also stuff like Fallout 2, which is legit a legendary game but I think still has this bug where if you put too much stuff in your car's trunk the game crashes and corrupts all your saves. Might as well get that unofficial killapp patch for that

All my friends just want to know when the next Blood Dragon is and don't give a poo poo about Far Cry proper.

I feel like there should have been an end boss fight in it that never happened but it immediately revived the Miami Connection soundtrack after that so all is forgiven
