The PS2 was the last good video game console and it is also when video games were at their peak.

The SNES was the last good console. Since the dawn of the 3D era games want to pretend to be movies. Boring.

>>46056
Correct except mega drive instead of sbes

>>46056
sometimes i'll go several months without opening up steam and just rip through my snes emulator folder

>>46056
games have always tried to be movies, it was just more endearing and innovative when it was a hopeless ambition.

I wish there was a Communist fork of Liberal Crime Squad, which is a game created by the Dwarf Fortress guy Tarn Adams way back during the Bush Era which has had multiple forks, but none which change the fundamental liberal pretenses. LCS is basically about building a network of clandestine cells to oppose an Arch-reactionary government, but it is fundamentally framed in terms of US liberal politics, which reveals its contradictions and ideological flaws. Tarn Adams also says he intended it as a GTA-style satire rather than something truly critical of the USA but I don't really believe that. I think he is "hiding his power level" which radlibs tend to do, to the extent that they have a power level at all. Someone made an update in 2024 that can be played in a web browser and posted it to the Dwarf Fortress forums, and while in some senses it updates it culturally from the Bush era, it still is fundamentally based on the same ideological pretenses.

I was a hardcore conservative back in the early to mid 2000's and this game played a big role in mentally aligning me to the left.
It's satirical to a point, sure, but it nudged me to re-frame how I saw certain issues.

>>42770
nah it really isn't that complicated.

>>43972
based

>>42574
>lcs is reactionary slop, the game was made by a fascist to mock the opposition to bush,

where's the proofs? obviously the game makes fun of the left a bit but they're clearly portrayed as the good guys overall

Is this a chud game? /v/ is claiming it as their own and it is quite popular and stuff as well. There is a 2016's feminist, a gay pedo and other stuff in the game as well from what I heard on the grapevine. Maybe this is the big chud hit of the decade. Binding of Isaac is also a major christfag game as well

Can't wait for people to try to figure out which meows are which person and make mods to remove all the problematic people from the game lol

A hypothesis is falsifiable. I get that you were trying to be kind when you corrected him, but the correct term for what he expressed is an "opinion".

Going to save Shaundi while fighting soldiers and gangsters on foot in Saints Row 3 was the most cathartic experience I had in a game
>body too short or empty

For me it was avenging Carlos in Saints Row 2. In hindsight, killing him seems like it was kind of unnecessary. You, the MC, survived worse to set up the sequel in the first place. It really hit me in the gut putting him down after that torture at the time, but I'm pretty sure we could've dropped him off at a hospital and busted him out of prison after he got convicted for being a gangster. I'm coming around to this theory I heard a while ago that saint's row was never good.

>>45892
Carlos couldn't even speak he was well beyond saving, tech at the time couldn't show it but I bet all muscles and skin from his face and ripped apart his guts was probably all over the asphalt


The worst boss survived was the boat explosing in sr2, besides that I don't think they had any worse than carlos

Speaking of, the boss in sr2 is such an evil, vile, loathsome unapologetic psychopath it pisses me off sometimes

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

>but come on the new picture looks way cooler than the old one.

Nah

>>45953
As I said, I have no nostalgia for early 40k, my first contact with the franchise was Dawn of War. The second image looks AI generated, and I know it is not, but it is the uninspired mass produced generic fantasy/sci-fi art which constitutes bulk of datasets and are the reason why AI images look like that.

>>45977
nta but dawn of war is such a interesting case. In one hand you can tell theres a lot of parody aspects in it. But in the other hand you have characters like sturnn who is not really a parody character.

>>45991
Dawn of War is tonally not going for parody, but a violent saturday morning cartoon. Sturnn is a grizzled old general cliché. Basically Patton in SPAAAACE. His famous heroic speech is about how his men's greatest talent is dying, which I am not sure if it was intended as joke by writers, but still is funny because it is literally true in gameplay, imperial guard infantry is a trash cannon fodder worse than orc boyz. Their most iconic ability is shooting their own troops to regain morale!

>>45992
>violent saturday morning cartoon
oh, yeah that works. Finally i have a term for what dawn of war is. I was stuck in the is it parody, is it serious, or whatever. This term works



 

A video about a BOOK. A small but significant part of Gamer History. Space invaders. Slurs. Nintenkiddies are evergreen. Gorf is there. Remember Gorf? Don't lie. Don't. You always do this. Look mate, you don't have to impress anybody here. Besides, who's going to be impressed that you remember Gorf? Gorf's own mother doesn't even remember Gorf.

True vidkids only itt.

Tetris effect

The Old World

Severed Steel is a pretty fun and easy movement shooter I played recently, seems great for drug gaming

In no particular order:

BeamNG.drive - Driving sim with very realistic crash physics and lots of mods. Plenty of way to goof off.

Baldur's Gate 3 - But it can be very complex and overwhelming immediately if you're not familiar with D&D 5E's rule set.

Cruelty Squad - First person shooter with a unique art style

Dave the Diver - Kind of like Motherload meets Diner Dash. Wasn't for me, but many people seem to like it

Dredge - Story-heavy fishing game

Subnautica - Open-world survival, but in the ocean

Embr - Co-op or solo firefighting game
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

PowerWash Simulator - Pretty self-explanatory. Has surprisingly deep lore buried in the mission descriptions. Very satisfying to play.

>I would argue that there are instances where art that was made by a scumbag is actually more interesting because it was made by a scumbag.

Roman Polanski came to mind. Watching his movies you'd think he's a person with a lot of compassion and empathy for victims of sexual exploitation of any sort. Knowing what he did in life legit feels like a plot twist.

>>41311
i hate every company but i love some games

Like legitimately enjoy? or enjoy despite it's flaws?

does wanting to enjoy but ultimately having such a bad time due to how incompetent the company behind it is, counts?

if yes;
>Hunt Showdown

if no;
>every single VALVE game




 

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.
2 posts omitted.

>bad wow clone
funny considering wow is probably the worst of the currently popular ones in terms of gameplay

>>44755
Honestly discord in particular did a lot to gut the social aspect and accelerate the breaking up of the community into cliques. Either way it's probably just my autism but Maplestory is the only one that ever grabbed me. I still play it. The upcoming winter update looks really promising.
Also, like war, capitalism is fun when it's a video game, i figured mmos were more like closely regulated market economies via a central body (the corp running it), not necessarily a free one. Or is there a difference?

Anyone ever play the goat, OG Tibia?

I just started playing (technically resumed as I had one low level character from years ago) Warhammer: Return of Reckoning, the fan resurrection of discontinued Age of Reckoning. Completely free, daily peak population at around 1000 players, very comfy feeling that brings me back to Burning Crusade era WoW, but with more PvP focus. I dont even bother with any optimal play, I just slowly do all quests I encounter for the sake of roleplay.
I think it is this pressure to in accordance with meta that is the biggest thief of joy for players, having everything documented, all figured out, destroys sense of exploration the old MMOs had, when you couldnt just find a youtuber who figured out the mathematically optimal way to play.

I just beat this game, I remember seeing another discussion thread about this game but I can't find it, but I want to talk about the game, full spoilers.

jesus what a clusterfuck. i'm just left with the feeling that IP sucks and should be abolished and lawyers and money people (investors, share holders, middle managers) are parasites.
