some drat fine truth bombs being dropped here

day of defeat was much better when it was in beta

Team Fortress Classic was more entertaining than Team Fortress 2

EA sports games are a lot of fun and I look forward to each new year/iteration

casual and phone games are a lot of fun

mass effect 2 was a big step back from the first one, cover shooters are super lame and the exploration and world felt more RPG-y in the first game, ME2 has one of the worst plots in a game I've ever had to play through

dragon quest 6 is one of the best dragon quests

I'm playing them all in order -- either on my phone or the 3DS. Doing 6 next.

I finished 5 a few months ago and absolutely loved it, 6 is so good and has one of the strongest soundtracks too, the music is better than 5 at times and I loving loved 5

I tried playing Planescape: Torment but stopped an hour in because there was too much reading involved.

for real, for all the times I've seen it listed as "one of the best games ever!!!!" people seem to have forgotten that not only is there not much of a "game" there, but what is playable is clunky and slow and boring as gently caress, if you're going to have that much reading for even just basic things that could otherwise be accomplished with the bare minimum of character animations then gently caress it, make a text adventure

IIRC regaining memories is tied primarily to intelligence? so if you wanted to play the game as a tank or any other non-intelligence focused RPG class you were hosed as far as the story goes lol, I might be wrong though

bethesda games bore the gently caress out of me; the longest i've ever made it was skyrim and that was like a collective 20 hours of gameplay

My favorite thing about bethesda games is when I talk about my lack of enjoyment of them occasionally I'll see someone go "no see, you're not playing it right, you just need to install *lists dozens of mods that fix bugs and make the game actually playable*"

Why do these games need so many loving mods for poo poo, I want to install the game and just loving play it, but I'm aware of the hypocrisy because I absolutely love the Gothic games but they've always needed a community patch or two to iron poo poo out particularly the clusterfuck that was Gothic 3

also gothic 2 has one of the best designed RPG worlds ever

I just started playing Perfect Dark with that mouse injector someone made for the Project 64 emulator which makes m+kb pretty intuitive to use and has it run at 60fps and god drat this is still a solid shooter in 2017 so I think that's the only thing in this thread I would outright disagree with

Wait, what?

Snake Eater got a 3DS port with Peace Walker style crouch walking, the frame rate is bad at times but if you played the PS2 version when it came out you might be able to bear it, also you can hack the New models to use the extra core and makes it play much smoother

I played it both ways and enjoyed it but with a non hacked 3DS ymmv

i cannot verify if this is true because for all the poo poo Bethesda gets for making buggy pieces of crap I have legal cd-roms of gothic 2 and 3 that seem to install okay but don't accept any KB or mouse input at all when the game loads, great experience 10/10, would stare at a wall again

odd, gothic 2 works fine but yeah gothic 3 is notoriously broken because jowood wanted to beat oblivion to the market apparently and shoved out a game that was even more broken than a typically hosed up piranha bytes game lol

the community patch completely changes gothic 3, but gothic 2's patch is more about fixing some annoying bugs, otherwise it's playable and imo far more engaging than morrowind

I also never had issues with Gothic 2, but at any rate, it should be available at GOG for <:10bux:, and it is an essential game. And with the expansion you can get killed by a roach in one hit, so it is darksoulsesque or whatever

Gothic 3 is also great, but arguably also godawful at the same time.

Yeah gothic 2 is fine I guess, Gothic 3 is good with the patch, but it's a shame the release was botched so poorly because the soundtrack is loving amazing too

also I'm watching American Horror Story and listening to you guys talk about Croc and a spooky noise in the show just sounded like a gobbo talking sped up and killed the mood

Tbh if they just make Gothic 2/Risen 1 but with sci fi stuff too, I would be happy haha

i gotta reiterate after playing chrono trigger again:

chrono cross has an amazing soundtrack and a cool battle system wrapped up in a game with its head so far up its own rear end that it becomes a convoluted mess and not even in an interesting way like a Hideo Kojima mess or something like that

how the gently caress do you waste music that good, how

edit: minus the generic battle theme, christ that is loving annoying

Metal Gear Solid’s story is pretty much pure rear end, but I liked what Kojima was doing with MGS2.

That and Silent Hill 2, I wish more companies gave their developers more creative freedom to gently caress with the narrative a bit. But oh well.

I loved how they have that gameshow sequence in the elevator and none of the characters ever mention it happening

Any game that features Mario as a character or has his name in the title is for twelve year olds and adult autists who are addicted to fan-boyage like it's the new heroine.

lol :wrong: it's for people who enjoy video game entertainment, perhaps you should stop playin bubsy 3D kid, maybe you might graduate to something a bit more your style like Risky Woods or Rascal lol hahaha

using cards as a battle system is dumb, if i wanted to play a loving card game I'd use a deck of fuckin cards

ME1 was the best and felt like it had decent RPG elements with a serviceable story, ME2 had an absolutely terrible story and so many of the characters had side stories that were just "daddy issues" and nothing else and was full of so many stupid loving plot holes and inconsistencies

ME1: YO holy poo poo you're the first human Spectre (iirc?)

ME2: hey remember that big plot point from the first game, me neither, also I hate my dad!!!!!!!!
