Old thread's gone due to autistic console warrior. Now, do you have a high end PC for at least 1000 benis and playing nothing but games like these, because everything new and shiny is shit? Then this thread is for you. What simplistic games with primitive graphics are you playing, anon?

Also report that console warrior on ASA you spot him!

I enjoy mostly older games but I like to check a some new games from time to time so I usually keep my PC upgraded to Mid tier.

My issue with most newer games is shit generic art design and piss poor atmosphere besides the extremely simple and streamlined gameplay that doesn't offer anything new of course.

Experimentation is nearly dead on this hobby

Good tactics/RPG game, if you're into that kind of stuff. You'll need the hintbook though. It's in one of the forum threads here:

Its Mario Make with Megaman. If you haven't seen it, you should lurk more.

>>15025345

I sometimes play old games if there is nothing worthwhile out there. Most AAA games have piss poor art direction.

art direction.

The other idiot from the previous thread reporting in.

>>15025308

What's even the point of including the highend pc in the name of the topic, it's like you are deliberately trying to repeat the same fate the last thread has suffered.

And Dwarf Fortress isn't simplistic neither in it's specc requirements nor in it's visual design.

My GPU died recently and I had to borrow a friend's for a while. Someone ended up giving me their old one, which was still way better than the one I used to have, but I don't play anything that could really stress it, except maybe Squad, which it runs on practically full settings at 40-60FPS and I don't really play that game that much.

It seems a waste, but at least I'm future proofed for the time being.

>I sometimes play old games if there is nothing worthwhile out there

I usually do it for months a time, depends on how I feel and if there's good shit being released, but I usually go a few months playing older games and then go a few months playing more modern games, usually smaller releases with maybe a AAA game that might have potential.

An example is NuDoom and Titanfall 2, I fucking hated NuDoom and loved Titanfall 2.

The first is a mediocre cynical cashgrab with poor design and the later is made a bunch of devs that wanted to release a well designed full fun product and it shows.

Currently having some fun with Defcon

Just report the sperg from the last thread and don't reply to him! Is that so hard? Also dwarf fortress seems to fit the bill. Take a look at this:

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/40d:System_requirements

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/40d:Maximizing_framerate

>Operating System: Requires Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, or newer (If on a non-Windows OS, see System requirements#Other Operating Systems for information on how to install Dwarf Fortress)

>Disk Space: ~100MB. The game itself takes only about 20MB, but savegames and screenshots (if you take them) use considerable amounts of disk space. It is possible to use over a gigabyte of disk space with Dwarf Fortress.

>RAM: 256MB. The game uses 150+ MB memory while running (more if you select a local grid larger than 6x6). The more creatures, objects, and explored space on your map, the more memory you will need. Most of this can be kept in virtual memory (page file), but be sure to have at least 500MB total (physical + virtual) memory available. World generation requires 400MB at its peak.

>Dwarf Fortress is able to use as much CPU power as you can provide it with. While a Pentium II at 500Mhz is initially sufficient, your frame-rate will substantially decrease as your population increases, among other factors. Keep in mind that Dwarf Fortress will only run on one CPU at a time. There doesn't appear to be any indication that Dwarf Fortress will support multi-threading in the near future.

Fits the bill just like ADOM and other overly complex rogue likes. If you your point as criteria, we could as well exclude Frontier Elite, Battle Cruiser and some old WRPGs.

Glad you remade the thread, the old one was full of trash and trite.

>>15025308

Yeah I've binged through the fallout series (excluding the shit ones)

Factorio which works fine on my mustard (20-ish FPS with a complex factory zoomed out) but even better on my high-end

if you spent this much money on a machine to play vidya, you have to talk about it to get your money's worth.

>piss poor atmosphere

This is what I hate the most about new games. It's like creating a convincing game world has become an utterly lost art. I just want to explore an interesting world with decently written characters. I really don't want to go on le epic generic world-saving scripted bullshit stories.

>Just report the sperg from the last thread and don't reply to him! Is that so hard?

Well, you already started talking about him even though I barely mentioned it. So yeah, seeing from your example - it's pretty hard.

>Also dwarf fortress seems to fit the bill. Take a look at this:

>disabling more intense features still doesn't prevent annoying slowdowns

No, it doesn't qualify same how modern games wouldn't qualify if we were to soft cut the hardware intense visuals through video drivers so the vidya could potentially run on slower machines, thus making it relevant to the thread.

>>15025410

>if you spent this much money on a machine to play vidya, you have to talk about it to get your money's worth.

You are either treading a dangerous line without realizing it or making tongue in cheek mockery of the thread. Due to your first sentence in the post I assume it's the former, thus my response to that is: you are proving my point - be careful with what you are saying, retard.

Its period accurate unless you really want to include any PC compatible since 1992. Then Dorf Fort doesn't count.

>>15025440

Artfags have become so garbage nowadays, that all the can do is churn out garbage. Widespread autism doesn't help either. The overblown budgets don't help either. With a gorillion dollars costs for development and marketing, they have to make all the money.

>>15025456

The shareholders can fuck themselves in the long run. Just see above.

Shitposting is an art, the perfection of balance between taking it easy and being serious, the comedy contrast. If you are taking it too easy your post becomes a literal shitpost, if you are being too serious your post becomes an ironic shitpost, and since shitpost is already ironic it cancels out and the whole thing goes back to being a literal shitpost. You have to have some standards man.

>>15025471

My rule of thumb is, if it can't run vanilla properly without some kind of butchering, then it's not suitable and not intended for the system.

Its easy replacement for graphics as a whole, when you're a hard programmer and want symbols to be in your line of code, with zero graphical input.

Or if you just can't draw and your engine is too complex to handle graphics or will lag heavily with it on old hardware.
