I've moved away from being competitive in stuff like FPS but just replaced it with fighting games. When Warcraft 3 remastered comes out we will see if I can still keep up in RTS.

Also I've spent more and more time playing old stuff - I've considered posting about this but there's a weird, minor pressure I often feel when playing new games that doesn't happen when I'm playing old ones. I thought at first it was just familiarity/comfort but this also applies to old games I've never played.

I convinced my friend who'd never played a Resident Evil before to try Re2make.

He loved it and told me he's playing RE4 next. Proud gamer moment.

to be fair I think there is probably still lots of space to do cool stuff with battle royales, but they'd have to be made by someone not afraid to move more than a step away from PUBG/Fortnite

Similarly I'd like to see more takes on monster hunter style games. Not that the real deal is bad by any means, but I appreciate the things that the other notable entries in the genre have done to differentiate themselves.

The real question is what is the next unscrupulous monetization scheme companies will try, assuming they are compelled to finally drop loot boxes.

:same: like a game where up to four smaller wrestlers have to take down one humongous wrestler

and I think if loot boxes get canned someone big will pull the trigger on just selling straight in game upgrades for cash, weather the outcry, and it'll just become normal with people saying 'you don't need it if you're good!' over and over in defense

I think I prefer Origins but it's mostly centered around stuff like 'how the moon hits the desert' so I think Odyssey might be a better bet just because they refined the gameplay a little bit more.

Edit: Nioh is a stronger game than both though imo

None of the WoW clones were, and most of the rest also failed. The movement is what distinguished Titanfall from every other COD clone out there, and they specifically removed it for this pile. Why would you play this over any other BR, I have no idea

Easy, you're trapped in a cycle of bouncing between every new release trying to recapture the high of games being new and exciting like how you remember, but you can't because you'll never be ten years old again

man i was trying to remember the name of this just last night when me and my friend were talking about how wild and wooly the pc game modding scene was back in the late 90's

Yeah half life mods were like, my entire life alongside Diablo 2 for a few years. I probably played most every one that had any kind of players. Aside from the specialists (which at the time I defended as being strictly superior to action half life) my other favorites were Science and Industry and Natural Selection.

And Battle of the Millennium though that was usually less of a real game and more several people swinging around as spider Man while one dude charged a spirit bomb at the top of the map and another just bitched about how much Megaman sucked.

I'm also excited for WoW classic but just because I'm jackass who wants to see people immediately bounce off when they get exactly what they asked for.

My feeling about modern Blizzard (especially with how they're handling WoW) is that they take a large devoted playerbase as a given and start right in with the money grubbing. They're not really wrong, either.
