>Sonic

Yes

>Pokemon

Too many people still buy Pokemon games. Masuda just doesn't know how to move the series along without either appealing to mobilefags or appealing to Genwunner autists

>>14238229

There's something charming about the use of sprites in Sim City. I don't think 4 was polygons, right?

>>14238298

Fascinating. While I have your ear too, I distinctly remember there being some simple building blocks type Sim City 4 building editor, but can't find evidence it existed.

>>14238229

Fifteen years and not a single person could fix the infinite commuters bug.

>>14238125

Halo 2 Vista had it's online reenabled by a bunch of old fags from the HCE modding community.

ED is never ever, talking to clef, one of the guys the dev team pretty much confirmed it.

>>14238378

What game?

>>14238409

not knowing supreme commander

>>14238405

>ED never ever

The what now?

>>14238409

SupCom you newfag nigger

>>14238416

El Dewrito. The attempt to create a functional PC version of Halo 3 using a leaked alpha of the pay2win Russian game, Halo Online.

Not shocked it's never going to be finished. All that time spent reverse engineering the game's code could have just been spent recreating Halo 3 from scratch.

People still play CS1.6, specially romanians and other type of slavs.

>>14238663

MS doesn't ghave Halo on PC by the balls, they castrated it long ago. Go learn what they did to Halo 2's editing kit.

>>14238800

Suddenly I feel like playing that and getting a PvP build.

>>14238125

Any Elder Scrolls game after Morrowind.

>>14238160

>Sonic

Sad, but true. I've lost all hope for 3D Sonic after the blatant cash grab that was Sonic Forces. The devs just don't give a shit anymore.

>>14238479

Smash is the only reason people keep their Wii U out of a landfill, Nintendo isn't pulling that plug until the switch smash gets a release date.

Goldeneye 007.

>>14238944

please tell me you're either talking about Goldeneye Source or the autists who modded the N64 ROM to run with M+KB and not the speedrunning faglords

>>14238974

Likely these autists.

>>14238893

>Any Elder Scrolls game after Morrowind.

They actually quit giving out patches for all their games except FO4 and Skyrim HD, so no it's not just any game after Morrowind.

>>14238229

Such a fucking great game. I bought skylines thinking I'd get the same feels with it and was absolutely disappointed. Sim city 4 will forever remain the king of this genre. Good post anon

subspace/continuum

>>14240161

Good, let the game die. it's suffered enough

>>14238229

> four years since EA shit out a terrible and poorly-received "sequel"

It's been 5 actually.

Wasn't UT4 still being developed by a bare minimum of Epic employees, or are they all working on Fortnite now?

>>14239714

Yeah really easy

>>14240196

>2D spaceships

I kinda miss playing that crappy game for hours as a teenager. I was a Hyperspace player, after the community picked it up, you?

>>14238800

Ultima went to the dogs by 2002.

From that screenshot, it must be absolutely abominable by now.

Full of people who weren't born when it started.

It was pretty cool when it came out, and since it was more or less the first, there was no self referential internet speak like "griefing" and "grinding". That all came much later from worse games.

It was more of a real experience, and everything was new and dangerous.

>>14241319

The worst thing to ever happen to MMOs, or gaming in general really, was all the arbitrary restrictions like party size and all that. It's less lime I'm playing a game and more like I'm performing my patriotic duty as comrade gamer waiting his turn in the fun line.

>>14240196

>>14241253

It's amazing how long it lasted, it was acres of fun. But it's dead now: it only had 20-30 actual players on any given server that were mostly afk last I checked (three years ago), and I doubt it got any better since then.

>>14241319

I still remember how people used to argue witch one (UO, AC or EQ) is best.

>>14241412

rip

In retrospect, Hyperspace had a ton of problems (endless xp grind exacerbated by regular resets; broken weapon combos like shredder + overthruster; your build could be invalidated by someone with the right armor in which case fuck you; basing was entirely who could dump the most repels; basing relied on the defending team holding onto the flags and not winning because the payout for winning was next to nothing compared to just holding onto the flags and playing longer, plus picking up all 20 again was so boring that no one would ever start a second game if the first one ended) but almost every other zone was even worse. There were some hockey zones, a handful of zones with actual spaceships gameplay, and of course that godawful trench wars which was of course the most popular.

>>14241446

Trench Wars was my favourite. :^)

>>14238405

I thought they were releasing 0.6 soon

>>14238837

my memories are being tainted just by reading this.

>>14241344

Ultima was created as a grand experimental project, a new frontier and they wanted to make something as close as they could to a living world. There is a video interview out there of lord British describing a self sustaining eco-system for the animals and plant life which was later removed when it didn't work out right.

They wanted to create a place which would be built by the players, unlimited.

After he was kicked from the company, EA just ruined it completely. Every mmo since has been caterred towards player numbers, simplicity and fund raking.

An mmo like ultima won't come again, even if someone builds it, because all the p!ayers now are too self aware. They'd be power playing, farming cash, and 90% of their speech would be buzzwords and jargon for the different things they are doing that they read in a wiki guide.

It was the wild west and it's gone.

>>14241441

AC, age of Camelot? I only remember everquest, had a different kind of player base.

>>14241958

I'd argue the wild west type thing resurfaced with Minecraft in its really early years but it died even quicker once the youtuber parasites sucked it dry.

>>14241958

AC is Asheron's Call by the way. I need to not smack the submit button like a premature ejaculator.

Warhammer Online.

>>14238405

who/what is clef?

SS13

>>14242028

I miss the early days of Minecraft.

After 1.8 I couldn't put up with it anymore and stopped playing.

It didn't feel the same anymore.

>>14243017

>>14243031

Looking at Conflux and Cove you would have thought the fan-made faction would've been the overpowered one that's almost entirely reused elemental creatures with a couple of scrapped Rampart creatures.

>>14243050

Tribes 2?

is is still active?

>>14243104

Yup.

>tfw there are people that defend and accept this mediocrity

This peeves me.

Valve

They havent made a game since 2007 (HL2EP2)

They outsourced everything else after before buying and absorbing companies

Horrible company that completely stopped giving a fuck, throwing money down VR well, that wont be viable for decades

Oh and they already released 2 VR products that nobody has heard of The Lab and Destinations, neither is a proper full game, instead tech demos

now they are chasing money tree by outsourcing Portal assets and making a fucking card game nobody cares about

Games kept alive by Valve skeleton crews:

CSGO, TF2 and DOTA2

>>14243957

shut the fuck up spammer

>>14243957

Abusive mods have always been a part of /v/. Get over it newfag.

Simulators. Falcon 4.0 is probably the best example. The game came out two decades ago and it's still being modded because of a source code leak.

>>14241182

I don't think tf2 can die. Its sort of like Doom's multiplayer baby, all about stupid fun and shooting shit but with friends.

Even if Valve drops it community servers will linger forever. Its just fun and not many games seem too interested in that anymore.

>>14244215

Rhetorical question, it died in 2011 with the F2P update and anyone still playing is a mindless zombie.

Diablo 2 still gets patches every few years for fixes and whatnot, along with ladder resets.
