Earwicker posted:there was a game called Interstate 76 in the late 90's or early 00's that was all about slapping crazy guns onto 70's muscle cars in some kind of desert wasteland environment. the game was a bit janky and the level design was weak, but i thought that idea was awesome and would love to see it in a more modern form this game was supremely good, although IIRC the auto-targeting turrets broke the game. The Vibe of the game was absolutely top notch. I still quote it sometimes "Never get out of the car!"

There's been a massively popular console FPS since before the forums. (Goldeneye). A console controller isn't as accurate as a mouse, but does it need to be?  I'm one of the weirdos that must use a controller now. I can stumble through a few rounds of BF with k+b, but I pretty much always want to use a controller. Resting my hands on the desk sucks.

IMO the concept of speed runs is cool - taking something skill based and doing it faster appeals to the lizard brain in us all. stupid hard games like super meat boy, celeste, Mario maker custom maps, and to some extent hollow knight take it a different direction - frequently the only way to do it fast is the only way to beat the stage, so speed runs become more about rote memorization (and execution) which is interesting but not necessarily creative. I don’t really understand glitching/exploit speed runs

Here's a hot take for the thread - I think First Person Role Playing Games are stupid Ya thats right - Ultima Underworld, All the Elder Scroll games, Fallout I think putting a FPS interface on a roleplaying game is like playing a fighting game with a racing wheel. Its pointless and it takes away from the experience. I'm ok with games like System/Bioshock because I view them as FPSs with a slightly more convoluted weapon/inventory scheme.

Consoles are cool because they're basically as good as the 2nd highest video card and they're half the price of building a gaming rig Also you can talk to the bros at work about Call of Duty or whatever without nerding people out. Plus consoles get (almost all) the best games first, if you're into that sort of thing. Consoles are dumb because they're basically multiplayer internet boxes, which attracts & enables the worst people to ruin every online multiplayer experience. They're also dumb because its a crap shoot if you have the right console to play the console exclusive game, and consoles are too expensive to really own multiple ones, especially with the paid multiplayer subscription poo poo.

Duck and Cover posted:My favorite thing about graphics cards is I buy one and then go on to play games on my laptop or even if I play desktop games they're stuff that'd run fine on my previous card. I in theory would enjoy bright shiny graphics but the fact is games with them are generally are only okay at best. I also expected a 4k monitor by now but monitors are bad/expensive. Which reminds me I should cancel my Envy/Dough Spectrum order.  I ran a GTX 980 for 5+ years and was pleased that I was able to run p. much everything at 1080p w/o issue. My whole PC was getting tired right around the start of COVID, so I decided to splurge and got an 3800XT + RTX 2080 Super. It was a big letdown - I had also just purchased an LG 34" 4k monitor that supported Freesync, but not G-sync, and so the highest it would go is 60hz  I had to spend another 800 bux ( ) to get a 27" monitor that does 165hz, and its not a very good monitor. Circling around to canceling your pre-order - seems like that monitor is pretty legit for what it is.. any specific reason you're not moving forward? Also open to other monitor suggestions #pchardwarechat

Harrow posted:Weirdly, despite that, FFXIV is (for now) one of the very few modern MMOs that actually requires players to group up for content. You had to group with other players for story-required dungeons until recently, when they added NPC buddies to do the dungeons with (and have started to retroactively add them to older content), and you still have to group with other players for story-required 8-player bosses. That part will probably also get NPC buddies at some point in the future but I don't think that's actively happening yet. Being forced to join up with other players for end game content is 100% why Destiny is loving dead to me forever. I'd rather blow my brains out then try to find another group of pubbies to do a raid. Devils Affricate posted:I used to like MMORPGs because they were weird, interesting, and often brutal, but then WoW came out and now they're all the same exact poo poo. I find it funny that people refer to FFXIV's combat as "MMO combat". It's not. It's WoW combat. getting fuckoff lost in OG Everquest was really an experience. I never played WoW; circa 2007 or so a friend of mine was deeply into it. I stopped by his house and saw a WoW screensaver running on his 2nd monitor, a little dude running around smashing centipedes and looting their bodies, and after a while I was like "thats an extremely detailed screensaver bro" and he was like "oh no, thats a bot running the game for me. I'm leveling my something-or-other up". It kinda ruined the entire idea of the game for me. I did put in a few thousand hours to War Thunder, however...

I can't say about the newer GTs, but at least re: GT2, the endurance races were bonus pointless because you were either loving thrashing the AI by the third lap (lighter wheels), or you restarted. Its why the house party thing worked so great - i didn't really care if it took them ten minutes a lap or if people got bored and walked away. Just had to drive in a circle two thousand times

Supreme Commander tried to do too much and became this weird Factorio precursor.

QuarkJets posted:I loved TA but couldn't enjoy Supreme Commander, it felt like a poor imitation Supreme Commander felt like TA on hard mode but in a bad way. IIRC it also ran like poo poo on my relatively new PC at the time. I wish they'd return to the larger scale old fashioned RTS. Dawn of War 1 was a gem, and while I liked DoW 2 (and I think I maybe played 3? it was extremely forgettable) the micro scale / DOTA style focus doesn't really do anything for me. I dont give a poo poo if baneblades and Titans are impossibly rare war machine relics from a forgotten age, give me a world/game where I can poo poo out a stream of them to stomp 'nid face forever.

Unpopular opinion - God of War Ragnarok is an extremely mediocre-to-bad game that I'll end up hate-platting. I could see liking it in a year+ when its out on PC and has some QoL improvements and a perfectly smooth frame rate. eat poo poo flame phantom Also ray tracing is p. cool or whatever, but the genuine #1 reason to get an RTX card is for DLSS. That poo poo is magic, although there is def. some visual aberration. RPATDO_LAMD posted:everything they've made since has been 3d Good/bad news - someone can probably figure out an image AI working from those sample sets and generate tons of new, good, thematically fitting content. Alternatively, someone could figure out an image AI that will make 2d pixels from 3d models. Artists would still need to touch stuff up to make it consistent, but I would expect to see an explosion of extremely high quality animated pixel art soon.

as much as it pains me to say it, FFX is probably the ~*best*~ Final Fantasy because - best fight mechanics and character leveling - insane pointless graphics/fx - top notch timesink sidegames - the plot reads like some loose leaf pages found in the woods after theater kids did a bunch of mushrooms EDIT IIRC at one point you play sportsball so hard it stops the apocalypse?

itry posted:FF12 is the most forgettable FF I've played, by far. I know I've finished it... Maybe it's actually an amazing game, it's just that I forgot all about it. to be completely honest, I regret nothing about sinking that much time into KSP. It was kind of a weird, decade long ride that scratched an intellectual itch I didn't know I had, and incentivized me to build at least three separate PCs. I'm sure as hell no Scott Manley, but getting pretty decent at KSP is one of the skills I'm secretly proud of and would never mention outside this dead gay forum. I may go all-out and build a custom controller for KSP2, but I also dont really expect lightning to strike twice there
