I like to have one game that actually utilises my computer installed at a time to justify its existence while I mostly use it to play HOMM3 and GameCube ROMs, currently trying to finish death stranding but it's more fun building perfectly optimised ziplines than it is navigating the Kojima plot (it is a very good game and I like the dumb plot btw I just like ziplines even more)

signalnoise posted:I did a search and found one called gunsmith simulator but it has a release date of TBA and one of the videos for it says planned release date Q4 2020, so What you're looking for a "World of Guns : Gun Disassembly" It's free to play with a shitload of DLC that comes out to a little less than 300 USD total, and the game has 16,000 reviews on steam. I downloaded it once to see how realistic/thorough it was and yeah it's pretty detailed. I was a gunsmith for a few years and I didn't notice anything missing.

My PC is from 2014 and on it I play games from 1992 (Ultima 7) to 2021 (Valheim). But most of the time I play a game that's more-or-less from 2004 (WoW Classic). EDIT: I'd love to see a series of pie charts, one for every year, that showed what % of my game time that year was spent on games from which year. That'd be fun to look at.

It's cool that with a little tweaking you can play pretty much every game from 1990 to 2021 on your computer instead of having to buy it a third time on your current console's store or just are locked out of playing it forever

i enjoy consoles just as much as the next person; the PS3 had the most unique catalog of it's generation, but yeah, having access to the complete catalog of PC gaming is nice.

PinheadSlim posted:What you're looking for a "World of Guns : Gun Disassembly" See this is what I'm talkin about, find something that people can nerd the gently caress out on and make what is basically an extremely detailed virtual museum of that poo poo where people can disassemble expensive things and the sales will rack up like clockwork. There's a whole movement for mechanical simulation games, and if you ask me, it's about time.

Not really, the few times I needed an obscure diagram I'd buy it for cheap somewhere online or borrow a book from an older (better) gunsmith. Sometimes the manufacturers would have them on their websites for free too Unless you want to flip through a real book with detailed diagrams then maybe give that game a try. I saw they have the VSS Vintorez in there and I have no idea where I'd find a diagram for something like that lol

Evil Genius 2 comes out tomorrow and reviewers are like "too bad the gameplay is the same as the early 2000s classic" while gamers are like "well at least the gameplay is the same as the early 2000s classic"

Rutibex posted:the story in fallout 3 is the worst part. your supposed to just wander around exploring the wacky random poo poo until you get bored That was also the last time Bethesda allowed players to skip story forward by stumbling into places, resulting in endless amount of complaints from players for "accidentally skipping parts of the story and now nothing makes sense". Most of the DLC was also garbage with the exceptions of that one which fixed the original stupid ending, and that other one with the swampy mansion which was kinda cool setting but riddled with bullet sponges.

There are a lot of fun parts in Bioshock Infinite, it isn't a completely egregious failure. Somethingawful also thinks Bioshock 1 is a huge piece of poo poo too somehow when its a great game with an unmatched aesthetic.
