FoolyCharged posted:Console shooter controls were complete dogshit and then Halo popped up being designed pretty much straight for them. The regenerating armor that people love to rag on was a pretty unique system at the time that ensured you would never be stuck having to win this next fight a single bullet from death, and the seamless vehicle/on foot flow was still novel even in PC games. It was also a breath of fresh air during a period where you were being drowned in ww2 shooting games, just like unreal tournament and ts2 were at the time. That was the weirdest thing. The "flood" of WW2 shooters lasted for about 4 years. Halo came out at about the same time as first Call of Duty. By the time COD2 came out with regenerating health it was already 2005 and it was already on Xbox360. In 2007 COD4 MW came out, and started a modern/slightly futuristic military shooter trend that lasts to this day. I remember playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein which came out concurrently with Halo. COD 1 - 3 happen, but I don't care I'm playing Half Life 2 and F.E.A.R. COD4 comes out and I don't remember playing a singleplayer first person shooter ever again. That pure FPS genre just became COD clones. Of course there are the Bioshocks and Borderlands, but they are a genre of their own, and meanwhile RE4 kicked off the 3rd person shooter genre. Also check this: It was 7 years between PSX and Xbox It was 4 years between Xbox and Xbox360 It was 8 years between Xbox360 and XBone It was 7 years between XBone and ThisBone What the gently caress did Halo do to the gaming industry

Seems fairly consistent if you don’t go by different brands. The only weird thing is the Xbox launched late and the 360 launched early compared to their respective console gens.

The short gap between the Xbox and 360 was because of a licensing thing with NVidia that Microsoft wanted to get rid of.

COD 4 was... different. It was an arcadey action shooter that managed to feel modern and grounded and realistic, and I don't think there was anything else that was both comparable and mainstream. I didn't play for long, but hell if I didn't get into it at the time, and I had never before gotten sucked into a game like Modern Warfare. One of my more distinct university memories was of my roommate (on multiple occasions) reminding me to take a break from COD 4 to eat meals.

COD4:Modern Warfare was the last self aware Call of Duty, and Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 had the best multiplayer of the entire franchise.

MW2 added those stupid tags that showed up when you killed someone. I couldn't stand it. I did really like playing Spec Op's mode with my buddy though. Black Ops one was the best COD by far though. Love that Cold War poo poo

Blops2 had one of the best single player FPS campaigns ever, even if it was at the same time incredibly stupid. So many branching paths and alternate endings though.

Once you unlock Ninja Pro and Cold Blooded Pro in MW2, you no longer show up on enemy radar and you have no audible footsteps. That particular class was a lot of fun to play, especially with a silenced weapon.

Blops is fantastic because it goes whole hog on the dumbass Clancy bullshit that all the others only scratch at It kind of doesn’t though. The game does a bunch of time shifts, so you go from near future war back to cold war and see how it all intertwines. Hell, the story even has callbacks to Blops 1 and CoD: World at War, so they set up a whole dang universe of Clancy bullshit.

CoD 4 was the last CoD game to have dedicated servers. Once that peer to peer poo poo started happening is when I stopped. Gone were the 32 person servers and low lag. MW2 is when the feature creep really started sith a shitload of cosmetics and random poo poo. Why, back in my day everyone had the same killstreak rewards, and there were only 3, and we liked it.

Modern Warfare 2 has a hilarious frenetic campaign. Like, you pull a knife out of yourself and throw it at the baddie at the end, its like something from an 80s action movie. I played it again recently and totally loved it. MW1 was incredible at the time too, I don't think anything like it had ever been made. It has some gameplay hiccups but stuff like Chernobyl was so well done.

JollyBoyJohn posted:Yeah the explosion of 360 was the most bizarre thing, I didn't avoid the ps3 for any particular reason but everything just funnelled towards the xbox for that generation Sony had an INCREDIBLY bad E3 before the PS3 launched. Between five hundred and ninety-nine U.S. dollars, RIIIIIIDGE RACER, and giant enemy crabs, they ended up shooting themselves in the foot pretty hard. It helped that the 360 released a year early and Microsoft went out of their way to court as many developers as possible to the system.

People outside the US never heard of Xbox until Sony's legendary fumble. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Bad PR. Weird marketing. Expensive. Weird rear end architecture that was very difficult to develop for. Almost no access to devkits. Etc...

Any game that takes longer than 1 minute to get into game play can only hope at best to be mediocre. Hey you don't mind sitting here for 8 minutes before you can pick difficulty followed by some more cutscenes right? Also Horizon you named the protagonist in your robot fauna video game Aloy? Do you think that's clever? For fucks sake. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Jun 29, 2021 |

The PS3 is pretty much a textbook case of the last gen's winner getting cocky and loving up, while the competitor with everything to gain swoops in and eats their lunch. And then just to drive it home the roles are reversed next gen with the Xbox One having the hilariously alienating launch and emphasising poo poo no one wants while Sony just goes 'This is our new games console'. (and then there's Nintendo, which also kinda qualifies but is also its own special kind of fuckup)Duck and Cover posted:Also Horizon you named the protagonist in your robot fauna video game Aloy? Do you think that's clever? For fucks sake. I'm down with gimmick naming mostly because of Dragon Ball, but also because gently caress, it makes coming up with new names so much easier it's not even funny.

At least once you finally get to shoot stuff it gets proper good if you just want to murder hundreds of British punks while zipping around like a mad bastard.

Mario Kart 8 has no soul. It's sterile and barren. No joy in winning. No goal. Nothing. What happens when you win? Just a screen with a trophy. Winning a tournament is not much different from clicking submit on a business application. Utterly soulless. CTR has more soul in its first five minutes than that whole game.
