/v/ - Video Games

I seriously consider this to be one of the greatest FPSs of the 2000s at least.

This is one of my favorite games of all time

>Perfect Dark

no matter how many times I replay it I find something new to love. the soundtrack fucking rules, the story is interesting, the guns are fun, the missions are fun, the entire game is just about perfect

>TIE Fighter

I unironically think this is the best videogame ever made. The story fucking rules, the combat fucking rules, the soundtrack in the DOS version fucking rules, this game is so good

>Super Black Bass

i'm dead serious. it's the comfiest game ever, and it has very light RPG elements before those were shoehorned into every game ever, which means that they're quiet and unobtrusive and leave you alone. this game is awesome

Things will never be the same.

While not as polished as the Sonic Adventure games, I enjoyed the campy story & dialogue and the morality system was fun.

What's so bad about Vectorman 2

Now hear me out:

Unlimited SaGa is a victim of poor packaging and distribution decisions. Whereas Japan got a 100+ page manual explaining the nuances of every facet of gameplay, the rest of us got a tiny pamphlet that fails to properly explain the single most important facet of the game: selecting and interacting with objects in the environment.

While in a dungeon/wilderness area and sharing a space with something you want to interact with, go to the skill option and look at the top of the screen. The currently highlighted object or enemy is your current interaction target. Press left and right to pick a target and then select which skill to use to interact with it.

If you've ever tried Ulimited SaGa and been frustrated with it, I recommend you try it again today armed with this rudimentary knowledge of how to fucking play the game

>inb4 Reddit spacing. Come on, they're disparate items and the separation was necessary for easy readability

>>15912510

a lot of games made by Monolith Productions, honestly they are (or were sadly) one of the best western devs ever

>>15912886

I was legit in the process of posting the Shadow game.

Growing up as an Adventure era Sonic fan I have long since pasted the point of giving a shit about what people think about the games I like.

Shadow the Hedgehog is one of my favorite games, period and nothing will ever change that, when I was 10 it was everything I could have ever wanted out a video game.

Recently I watched a video that had the perfectly description of the Shadow Game.

"That game is so try hard it actually goes all the way around to being fucking awesome, it's so far in one direction it breaks the dial and starts being awesome again."

It was as if Sonic team said

OKAY YOU WANT EDGY YOU FUCKING GOT EDGY NOTHING WILL EVER BE MORE EDGY THEN THIS GAME!

Donte wishes he could be as hardcore as Shadow.

>>15912906

The Shadow game is legitimately the most ambitious moral choice game ever made.

10 different endings (+ one true ending) based on 326 possible paths you can take and each path is individually named, it's nuts.

First and last.

>>15912510

Xbox Original took my childhood.

>>15912510

I appreciate this thread, anon. It's nice to have a genuine enjoyment thread. I've got a few of these games.

>Smash TV

It's been my go-to game for a good 25+ years. I've owned it on just about every system that it's come out on, homebrewed my DS just so I could load it up with some other emulators. This Summer, I'm going to put together a full MAME cabinet in my garage, and you'd better fucking believe I'm going to play the shit out of it how it should be played.

>GTA V

This has been another one of my 'go-to' games for the past few years, especially since it hit PC. Payday 2 aside, I feel like this game is as close as we'll probably get to something that resembles the movie Heat. Plus it's nice to just go on drives and fly around with bros.

Some anon dumped like $30b on me and my gaming crew pretty early into the game's launch, and we managed to launder it enough so R* wouldn't take it away, so we got to enjoy all of the offerings of the online portion and content, rent free. GTA should never be a grind, it should be played because it's fun. The moment playing this (or any) game becomes a chore, it stops being a game entirely.

>Cryptark

I've tried to make some threads about this game before. Basically an anti-gravity Metroid, take on contracts and go into creepy mechanical alien ships, and try to come out with as many kills and materials as possible while keeping to a contracting budget. It's some fun shit.

The Final Fantasy Tactics games. FFT/WotL, FFTA, FFTA2. I love them. All three are a blast to play, and I've dumped countless hours into them without getting disappointed.

Also Morrowind. My favorite singleplay game ever made. I love everything about it, even the combat.

Starcraft/Brood War, my favorite multiplayer game ever made. Played it for years, always had fun. Both regular 1v1s and tons of the UMS maps were amazing. I never got above C on ICCUP, but it was still very fun.

>>15912922 (check'd)

My n'wah.

>>15913033

I think I have 400 hours dumped alone into FFTA2 on my lastest save. Getting all weapons, finishing the moon towers and all quests and shit. Had the FF12 stuff been replaced with something worthwhile instead I'd have loved the game even more.

I generally love tRPGs and wish there were more today in the style of something like the FFT games.

Explorers should've been a tactics game instead of a cheap Crystal Chronicles wanna-be.

Where the fuck did nu-irony come from?

No, I'm serious. It's just here now, it's been here for years and nobody has bothered to even reference where they got it from. Usually everything we talk about has an origin point somewhere, but the concept of nu-irony just crept up here one day, presumably from the ether, and it was like it was around from the start. I think that it developed on social media sites, but this never seems to be brought up or referenced. No anon ever challenges nu-irony. When an anon posts a "tbh" or a "fam" it rarely goes unchallenged. That anon gets called a faggot and is told to go back to reddit or whatever. But it seems like every single anon has just accepted "unironically" as part of the natural lingo, never questioning it.

It's just so antithetical to even the concept of /v/. It's an incredibly passive and weak-willed response to criticism. To just go, "well I only enjoy it as a joke", shielding yourself from any liability for your opinions. Look, if you like something despite realizing that it has major problems then there's qualities in it that you still value. It has to have something that you like in it, otherwise you wouldn't like it, right? Just fucking own up to your tastes. You're anonymous, nothing will be tied back to you. I'm a fucking pussy and I think that nu-irony should die.

Seriously, this shit makes me crazy. It's like everybody on /v/ was MKUltra'd into just being fine with this shit, everybody but me. It's like I woke up one day and this site just flipped on it's head for this one single thing without cause or explanation. What the fuck is going on?

I actually fucking like this game so much when my friend got me into the alhpa. It scratches an itch that needed to be scratch for so long. But the (((DEVS))) are ABSOLUTE JEWS. I fucking hate greed.

>>15913066

I couldn't really say, but it's only natural to not want to be given a hard time for simply liking and being quite about it, that's how I was with Sonic at first, after seeing all the shit the series constantly got for years.

But I got to a point where I realize that I can like whatever the hell I want to like, because who actually gives a fuck.

Thanks to being a fan of the most shat on series of video games of all time, I was forced to learn the hard way that people have different opinion, likes, and tastes, then my own, and it's fine to listen to criticism so you can see other peoples point of view, and that nothing is perfect, but there is still a reason I enjoy what I enjoy, and even if i'm the only one in the world who likes a certain piece of media it's not like it matters, since it's just a piece of entertainment, and if it entertained me then as far as i'm concerned it did it's job.

Now when I see someone still shitting on the series, I'm just dismissive of it since if I wanted to I could come up with far better arguments that is actually constructive criticism.

I genuinely love Sonic games.

>>15913138

There is so much to like about Sonic that it's not hard to see why to this day the fanbase is so dedicated even after all the ups and downs, but it became the norm to hate the series for every misstep and ignore every achievement.

When IGN made that video saying Sonic was never good that only cemented the fact that tons of people who follow the trend of shitting on Sonic because it's Sonic also have no idea what the fuck their talking about.

>>15912902

>>15912886

The thing I remember the most from that game was the unique way it did its morality progression. Instead of your morality depending on choices in specific sequences or cutscenes, it always give you the missions as the morality choices allowing you to switch at any time. And the major thing is that each morality choice goal would actually leading you to a completely different level depending on the morality. It's not linear, you can choose to go bad even on the hero path and it drops you in a lesser good path. I was always interested in that mechanic and wondered if other games that had the morality gimmick tried that, because that shit was unique and engaging. Only downside is that the game forced you to repeat 5 times for different endings just to get the Final Story

>>15913160

I don't much care for the opinions of others; especially not gayming journalist queers and their soyboy followers. They are all untermensch. So videos like this don't bother me much, in fact I'm very thankful Sonic is so hated as its easy to find actual fans of the series and not faggots like OP described based just on a sentence or two.

The only tragedy is that Sega keeps listens to these cunts and is adamant about re-inventing the wheel every few years to appease them. Granted this lead to some novel games like Unleashed (My personal favorite 3D Sonic game) and Generations but more often than not leaves us with boring, half-baked messes like Colors, Lost World and Forces which try way too hard to pander to a certain crowd. Also fuck wisps.

>>15913257

Wisps were fine for one game, but they have no business coming back as a main stay of the series, when they completely ignore so many other interesting possibilities.

But as obviously made in 1 year Forces was, I hope it was mostly because of the circumstance that they sent too much time making the engine and had no time left for making the game. As choppy as Forces can be I still saw a hint of that ambition that Sonic Team used to have when it came to this series. There's no way they wanted to make the game without using Chaos as a boss once or Infinite just leaving randomly with no resolution to his story.

There were good aspects to Forces, it reminds me of 06, only nowhere even close to that level of ambition, but still. Sonic team needs to

A, get rid of the writers who only write the characters off of their stereotypes rather then their History, and B actually take the time finishing a goddamn game.

>>15913330

I still don't understand how you could possibly lose the source code to a modern engine that was actively being worked with. Or why you would have to make a whole new engine and not just use what's available on the disc of literally any game you made since 2008 as a base and go from there.

>>15912803

Sometimes I sigh unvoluntarily when I hear Murfy say "See you in Rayman 4!"

>>15913257

>>15913330

Sonic 06 really feels like it dealt a horrible damaging blow to the franchise. Not just for how it destroyed Sonic's (and SEGA to a lesser extent) reputation, but also because it's become such a taboo name that anything even resembling its design, even positives, is actively avoided like the plague. Writing that isn't constantly trying to play itself as a joke, characters that don't play exactly like Sonic, final bosses who aren't Eggman, and a steadfast refusal to engage in 3D level design that isn't "run on flat road with obstacles on it" makes me think they're at least unconsciously trying to make every game they make as much "unlike 06" as possible, and pigeonholing themselves as a result.

Heard they quietly retconned humans out recently and the new canon is this Sonic X-tier "Two worlds, one furry one human" stuff. How the fuck are they gonna explain Shadow and GUN?

A truly uplifting game that aspires to be nothing but light-hearted fun. Better than Zelda and the antithesis of modern games. Soul Blazer on the SNES is similar but it has a dogshit localisation.

Whenever I boot it up I end up never closing it until it's done. I genuinely love the game, no buts or ifs attached and it's the most recent example I can give that I can say I'm being completely sincere with.

Did Catalyst amount to shit or was it pure shit from the beginning?

Probably the only game I ever bothered to get 100% on

This is my favourite game of all time,fuck all "it's slow so it's bad" faggots.

Despite it being extremely simplistic as a "grand strategy" game (for it is clearly not simply a "real time strategy" game), despite the fact I own Crusader Kings 1 & 2, Medieval 2, Europa Universalis, Victoria 2, I still come back to this game quite a bit.

I've beaten it twice, as Trebizond (always keeping myself free from the Patriarchate of Constantinople by having my own Patriarch), and then as the Teutonic Order. I am currently playing as Lithuania (in the 1200's, though time does not pass in this game), with the "Dusk of Glory" mod installed.

I like pre-Underground NFS.

>>15913439

Good tastes anon. I need to reboot that game again. I remember the controls being shit though and takes a while to get used to.

No winter holidays go without replaying the serious up to this gem.

Battlefront 2. It's my favorite game of all time. I've played it for thousands of hours on PS2 alone and nothing will ever change my mind that it's the best game ever made. If I have nothing left to play or are completely bored out of my mind, I'll boot up a galactic conquest and plow through it in an hour or two and feel great for the rest of the day. I've never gotten bored from playing it. I once played it for so long on the PS2 that the sound glitched and the music stopped playing entirely. Now that I have it for PC, mods become the cherry on top of this wonderful, delicious cheesecake of a game. One thing I remember is that on PS2, it was impossible to beat Endor as the Empire because of analog aiming and how the ewoks fucking kept ambushing me everywhere I went, but now I can crush the terrorists and bring peace to the galaxy once more.

I know it's shit in so many ways but I still love it

just Ico. Yorda represents everything I want in a girl

>>15914448

Got into playing this game recently and it's a blast. If you want a game that's like Link to the Past with big, sprawling dungeons and more combat options (but less "open world" stuff) and slightly better puzzles, this game's great.

It was pretty much one of the only three games I played as a kid, alongside Eragon and Animal Crossing. It takes me back to my happiest years and replaying it sends me numb. I spent years replaying the same few levels and the shitty crane minigame. I wish I could still see the magic in videogames.

>>15913381

It would be in SEGA's best interest to first fully separate Classic (2D) and Modern (3D) into their own separate game series. They are almost there, but they keep tacking Classic Sonic onto new games as an afterthought to appease nostalgiafags even if it always plays like hot garbage in their current 3D engine. Then, once the series are separated do a hard fucking reboot to the 3D games. Figure out what works (Adventure styled physics with more open maps and freeform gameplay/progression like Shadow would be GOTYAY imo) and what doesn't work (wisps, constant shifting to blocky 2D platforming) and go from there. The fluff/story part doesn't matter much to me but I would personally go for a DBZ like feeling with cartoony humans and anthros living side by side; that way they can easily explain Eggman and eventually throw in GUN, muh Maria and stuff from Unleashed if they want. With a style like that they can have a clean mix of cool and comedic moments instead of having the entire thing be some kind of ironic "so bad its good XD" mess of faggotry like they've been doing since 2010.

But they will never do this. Just keep appealing to ironic memefags and balding numales who only like the Genesis games because they were kids when it was out.

There's a bunch of games I could list here. This one came to mind first. I remember playing the shit out of this and trying out all the minigames and seeing how many of the records I could beat. I dont know what happened to my copy and I'm kinda sad I cant find it.

I genuinely like Sonic Adventure. It has its problems and is probably not a very good game from an objective viewpoint, but it has so much charm and earnestness to it that I love it anyway. It always feels like real passion went into making it. Nice music too.

I also unironically love Big the Cat, he's just so chill.

>>15912533

This is the ugliest, least fun game I have ever seen. I couldn't figure out what console it was for because there's no way a PS2 game looked like this. Enemies just do not react to you at all.

>>15914611

Oh man, you really changed my world view, Sonic really was bad the entire time.

>>15914611

Bald, Bearded or Bespectacled. Which of the 3 B's of soydom do you posses "Anon"?

Mario+Rabbids made me laugh more than it fucking had the right to do. Its a rare beast these days…a good Ubishit game.

I FUCKING LOVE CROSS CODE. Anyone who likes action jrpgs with all the good retro and modern mechanics (and modernization of retro gameplay) stuffed into it would definitely love this game. There are also puzzles put into dungeons that are actually fun for a change (and I'm one of those people who normally hates them). In this game, you actually feel fully in sync with the combat in a very fluid manner. Bosses behavior vary far differently from each other and sometimes (if there health gets lower) their behavior changes completely forcing you to adapt to your opponent.

>Have spent approximately 80 hours on this game so far

Graphics 10/10

Soundtrack 9/10

Story 9/10

Gameplay 10/10

There was clearly a lot of love put into this game tbh.

>>15912703

>it was everything I imagined it to be and more.

You imagined disc 2 in advance?

>Wild Arms

Always nice to see another drifter around here. Fuck mobile gacha reboots.

>>15914521

At the very least, it's not expensive to replace if you care to, at least last I checked. Gamecube original, not so much.

>>15913445

Also patrician fucking taste my firend, the patapon seires are top quality games.

>>15914452

So is Rayman 2, Serious Sam and Duke Nukem 3D.

This thread is filled with African Americans of the respectable variety that I could describe as belonging to myself.

This game is fucking awesome. Fun mechanics with incredibly dark atmosphere and beautiful art that makes me think of 90's anime especially during boss battles, cool soundtrack and a general level of polish that almost makes it seem like one of modern well designed 2D platformers and not SNES era ones not saying that SNES era platformers were bad, I'm just saying that Demon Crest really pushes the console to it's limits.

My favorite game, I still play it sometimes. Never really liked 2, Bespin Platforms>space battles anytime.

>>15913434

I'm with you Anon. Mirror's Edge is a perfect game IMO. I don't wish it was longer because it's a great game to get the itch for and plow through in a few hours. That said Catalyst is dogshit. It's unbelievable how much they missed the fucking mark. They ignored the satisfying, snappy gameplay of the first with its carefully crafted, excellent level design and decided to instead focus on "parkour all over the city". It amounts to an empty open world full of dumbass side-quests.

Catalyst is a game that legitimately fell for the open-world meme. Do not buy it. I spent four dollars on it and still feel jewed.

As for a contribution to the thread about stuff I truly enjoy aside from Mirror's Edge I love Dishonored. I don't give a shit about all the "it's not a real stealth game" shit, I don't care what genre it's supposed to be. Dishonored allows me to do some goofy shit and really play around with it in a way other stealth games don't. To be honest I also thoroughly enjoyed Hitman: Absolution, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Mark of the Ninja. I'm a sucker for fairly easy stealth games.

>>15913702

>>15913439

Pretty much one of the best licences games, did the yautja more justice then the majority of movies their in.

As for the controls once you get used to them their really isn't anything wrong with them.

>ctrl+f sonic

>already like half the thread

Whatever, have another. From what I've seen people tend to treat Sonic R as a meme game but I think it's unironically pretty good. I have fond memories of being a retarded kid who didn't know how to play just wandering around exploring the tracks as Amy in the rain with broken music. When I finally played it with the music this one kind of got to me because i want to go back in time

>>15926784

>Never really liked 2

This, I always hated the UI and having to buy Droidekas.

>>15912891

As a kid I used my birthday money on this.

The box presentation and the Square Enix logo had me convinced this could be nothing else but an amazing rpg.

That was a very sad day.

I know there are other, better isometric RPGs out there, but I still enjoy the Baldur's Gate games.

>>15912914

I unironically like how most of these ending names sound like shitty black metal albums.

>>15926544

>There's an anon who frequently browses with tor and calls anyone he disagrees with an impotent leftist. The anon you responded to is such a loser that he thinks anyone who says "impotent" and "leftist" in the same sentence is that anon.

I know of the curry nigger that demands a girl friend, the guy the spazzes out over daylight in cyberpunk games, the weirdo that posts pictures of Mark's actual asshole, the Ivy from Soul Calibur's ass guy and the faggot that shills that SJW indie shit Crosscode. The Anon you describe is something you just made up.

Specifically this version.

>>15929762

That weirdo is spamming Mark's body and asshole because he's sexually attracted to the Jew and is trying to alter your subconcious to find him sexually attractive too. Anyone who repeats images of Mark in sexual poses has completely internalized him into their minds.

>>15914452

I unironically think Duke Nukem is a positive role-model. He's patriotic, he's dedicated to physical fitness, he's nice to women, he signs autographs for children and saves the world from evil aliens. I don't know why betas and feminists hate him so much. Those that don't hate him say they only enjoy him "ironically". I'll never understand this.

>>15929891

>that pic

>you eventually progress to more degenerate porn no matter what

Not only do I not see that, I've seen the opposite on here. Plenty of anons say they eventually went for progressively more vanilla stuff over time.

That anon is assuming two things:

>that being able to empathize with fantasy means we can't separate it

>that people have no hard lines they won't cross regardless of circumstance

I want to see stats that show this is always the case and that pedos weren't always going to want to fuck kids regardless of what they saw.

>>15929977

did I hurt your feelings snowflake? Did I give your heart a boo-boo?

>>15912510

I know it's not cool to like this game but I enjoy it. It's nowhere near it was hyped up to be but I like the city building and armie making

>>15930380

I'm a literal fucking scrub, ain't I?

>>15930505

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will always be my one and only fighting game. It's the only fighter where I can at least make it to the last guy, although I get my ass handed to me either by Motaro or the endurance match. Only ever managed to beat the cheating input-reading son a bitch game when I cheesed it with Rain.

Legend of Grimrock 2 is one of my favorite games, I make of point to replay it every year. It was a game that actually hit me with a genuine sense of adventure that I hadn't felt in years.

>>15930567

>Tekken 3

That game was my jam back in the day. Unlocking the doctor through beating Force Mode is something I will always remain proud of in my personal gaming achievements. Thank you Eddie Gordo.

>>15912510

Also I forgot to post my on topic game.

And that would be Isaac. I know that procedural generation is a meme at this point, but I played Isaac since it's first iteration and loved it. There's just something about the wacky items and making a shit run work through Devil deals. It's great fun, and I think I'll always come back to it.

I will say though, the devs of Afterbirth have come really close to oversaturating the game with items.

What's with this Banjo-Kazooie suddenly being bad meme? I get people who don't like collect-a-thons probably won't be a fan, but now it seems like everyone thinks it's shit. In either case, I don't care, I love it nonetheless regardless of what anyone thinks.

Also I love Rayman 3, it's different than Rayman 2 sure, but Rayman 2 is already a huge departure from Rayman 1.

I miss the days back when even movie-tie in games were at least slightly fun or fun to fuck around with. It's not so much that I grew up, I can go back and still play them or ones I haven't tried and still have fun, it's just that games seemed to have changed drastically.

>>15930667

People now are complaining about it being "too slow" of a platformer aside from Croc and having that automatically make it a bad game. I speedrun Banjo-Kazooie every year and I personally have no issue with the speed even compared to more acrobatic platformers like Mario 64. I'm not sure what their other arguments were, but I think some of it had to do with it being "too kiddie" and not being a mature game for mature gamers such as themselves. My guess is that they're Sonic autists or kids who grew up playing brown games on Xbox 360.

Banjo-Tooie I can at least see some argument with considering the backtracking and other elements, but even then I still adore that game as well. Pretty much any game on the N64 or Super Nintendo that's not trying to be realistic I have a great time with. PS1 and PS2 had some great titles too, but I got around to them fairly late. I really like the Ratchet and Clank series.

>>15930721

Legends is it's own beast. Half the time it's a rhythm runner, other half it's a meh exploration platformer with weird ass controls. A lot of people will probably disagree with me, but it just never sat with me and I've played the original 3 Rayman games.

The only thing that matches the original is art direction of environments.

>>15930820

>ugh

Project Diva and Ys games. I like all of them. Nothing really pisses me off with them, they're just pure fun. I've played about every game in each series and can pretty much always find enjoyment in them. Future Tone has become one of my favorite games of all time, with my only complaint being the lack of a diva room. I like older solo Adol Ys style and the party based newer games about equally. I think the only thing I really hated in the series was in Ark with the final boss. You have to have all your swords upgraded or you're fucked, and you can't go back once you're in the final area so you can actually make the game unbeatable. Other than that I'd consider it one of the most consistently good series out there.

>>15930899

>Monster Hunter is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Which one?

If you remove the underwater shit MH3U is objectively the best.

I've been avoiding heavily story focused games for a while because I usually dont like how theyre done but I bought rdr2 mainly because the first red dead online was fun.

All the tedious shit aside, the game told a story in a way I dont think hollywood could have done and staying a fun game for the most part. Arthur's ending was beautifulI know people see it as flavor of the month shit but it hit me hard

>medievil

Fun game all around, killer mechanics, hidden stuff, comedy. Actually hard sometimes, some levels are ruthless, some are a breeze. But all around great game.

>megaman x4

Best controls ever, i have an orgasm each time i hear the huh hah HUH!!! from zero.

>parasite eve

Currently playing this one. What a soundtrack. Fucking amazing.

>tomba 2

I know everything there is know from this game by heart. One of the greatest platformers.

>digimon world

An RPG like nothing that has ever been done. You rise your discount pikachu into a killer machine only to see it die and rise it again. What a game. Its fucking packed with content, and actually quite hard, but fair.

Honorary mentions: SOTN, Vigilante 8 2nd offense, gran turismo 2 and 4, tales of the abyss, odin sphere, crash team racing.

Omfg how could I forget, Crash Team Racing for psx is the best karting game ever PERIOD. Any fag coming here saying otherwise is a heathen, and should be burned at a stake. CTR ftw faggots.

Bayo you can at least get on PC now, and it makes loading times almost nonexistent.

On the other hand we really need a fucking Ninja Gaiden Collection on PC. I'm holding out hope that after Nioh 2, their going to make Ninja Gaiden 4, and that will be around the time a NG collection will be announced to build hype. At the very least it seemed Team Ninja learned their lesson with NG3 Razors Edge, and turn a shit game NG game into a passable one.

Hopeful DMC5 is just the first step in bringing back the old rivalry for the throne of the King action games, but without Itagaki who knows if NG will actually come back.

This is a game I always come back to, partly for nostalgia of playing with my brothers trying to mug the flash dealer constantly and beating up hookers, but in terms of gameplay I think it may be one of the best beat em ups ever made. Bottles, bricks, trashcans, bats, knives, the concrete itself, anything was fair game. Not to mention you can lead a little posse around your turf, stealing car radios while they watch your back, beating up rival gangs or hobos and kicking them until they vomit blood. Shit talking by the NPCs was excellent, all that 70s jive talking slang fit the mood perfectly. Hub area which is your gang hideout where you can train, play mini games and prologue missions, and listen to the radio where that negress with the ruby red lips talks about your latest exploits. The soundtrack that blares through is funky as hell disco jams and other assorted jams from that era, suits the mood and never gets tiring to listen to. The ambient tracks have that perfect inner city night crawler vibe to them, and the fighting tracks are explosive and fit well with the chaotic action.

Speaking on the story itself, it might be one of the only good movie adaptions I’ve ever played excluding Star Wars games. It takes what was already a bretty good film and expands the fuck out of it, providing an actual backstory to most of the characters and giving you a prelude to the events of the movie, I think they even got a majority of the actors to come back and do their voice lines for the game. I could go on forever about this game because I love it so, I’m sure other anons in here appreciate this game as well and it’s not objectively hated but if there was something wrong with it I wouldn’t give a fuck because of everything it does right.

>>15937183

great game, i loved the impact/brutality of beating the shit out of people

the rumble mode was really cool to, also the "survival" mode or whatever it was called and picking a boss character beating up hobos

wish i could play it again but it doesn't run too smooth for me emulating

>>15937707

Luckily I still have my Xbox (which runs it far better than ps2 imo). Unluckily I have far fewer friends and relatives to play it with now, the rumble mode was one of my favorites to go 8 vs 8 with random gangs or cops even. There was supposedly a spiritual successor in the works but of course with rockstar they take any good idea and throw it in the trash can. I miss their world building when they actually gave a shit.

>>15914611

I don't like Sonic, I grew up on other platformers and on JRPGS, so I had no investment in this sub-discussion until you shit on>>15913100

Why do people need to shit on other people for having different gaming tastes?As I've lurked here I've come to notice that this board hates about every new game, doesn't matter if it's actually good, doesn't matter if it's not exploiting the consumer and is good value for the buck. What happens is everyone hates the game, then a few anons say they like it and get shitted on, then a few more anons who kept quiet finally realized they weren't alone in liking X game and like it too. I'm thinking of Nier Automata or Persona 5, now it seems like half the board likes those games, but back when they first came out everyone was getting shit on for liking them. 4v is cucked in a lot of ways but at least the tastes are more balanced there. I honestly wonder if it's because the population here is so much less so it's just like 12 faggots hating everything so everyone keeps quiet to not rock the boat until some autistic anon says he doesn't give a fuck.

>>15938300

Then you are a god damn pic related

>>15938414

Will*, and forgot my fucking image.

>>15913088

Let me expand on that:

>0 layers

Saying something and meaning it.

>1 layers

Saying something you don't actually believe and being obvious enough about it that most others can tell. Also known as sarcasm.

>2 layers

Saying something that makes it sound like you don't actually believe what you're saying, while (secretly) actually believing it; your true intentions only being somewhat clear to those who share your beliefs and have experience operating on this level of irony. Irony this deep often loops back on itself infinitely where people do something ironically where said thing was an ironic response to something ironic to something ironic to something ironic etc., but the underlying motivation remains the same.

E.g. trying to pass off something as a joke while sincerely meaning it

>3 layers

Saying something you don't actually believe to such a degree where nobody can really tell whether you are being sincere or not. Like someone who acts like a total caricature but at the same time appears like he's completely serious. Primarily done to mock the worldview of those you are talking to by having them accept your escalating absurdity, which they accept so you can fit in their worldview since they believe you are a sincere manifestation or a result of those views.

E.g. Sam Hyde

>4 layers

Saying something you don't actually believe and trying to be obvious enough about it to fool others into thinking you're being ironic, where the intent is simply to have others guessing whether you are being ironic or not. Primarily done to mock everyone but yourself.

>5 layers

Saying something with zero intrinsic meaning or a complete non sequitur which nobody, not even yourself, can grasp the meaning or even the intent of anymore. Irony at this level is primarily used as a defense mechanism to obfuscate a truth that concerns you. After all, you're only being ironic. It doesn't really apply to you if you didn't actually mean it. Nothing does. Similar to two layers of irony, except that instead of shielding the things you say from criticism you shield yourself entirely from criticism through irony. In other words: running away.

>6 layers

Saying something that appears like you don't actually believe it, and something you think you don't believe it, but secretly actually do believe it, as a result of unresolved conflicting inner beliefs.You're telling yourself that you don't like this thing, that you only like it "ironically", but at the same time your relation to it can't be described by outsiders as anything but clearly OBSESSED. In other words: lying to yourself.

>7 layers

At this point you no longer really know why you say the things you say, or whether what you say actually means something. You hear new ideas and memes, and subconsciously find yourself repeating them, to the point where it has become second nature. You know you used to do everything out of irony, but now, now you don't even think about it. When called out on it you will say you're being ironic, without really knowing what exactly makes it ironic. However, you do know that everyone in your community is doing the same thing, so you merely do as everyone does. Also known as: the destruction of the self.

>∞ layers

???????

>ironic singularity

Infinite irony is not achievable. The sheer mass of ironic intent will eventually collapse upon its own gravitational field and create an ironic singularity.

Once the ironic singularity is formed, the rate of irony produced by it is constantly oscillating between positive infinity and negative infinity. Some scholars refer to phenomenon this as Schrödinger's Irony. The person being ironic and the observer both can't know for sure whether the thing that's being ironically said is in fact the truth or just a joke, or both.

However, in practice the human mind cannot fully comprehend irony this deep, so they will forgo gauging the intent of whether the person creating an ironic singularity is being ironic or not, and just write them off as a retard instead.

>-1 layers

Saying something you sincerely mean with the full knowledge that everyone else around you will think you're joking, the sheer sincerity of it making the rest cringe in disgust and hidden fear, for after years of cocooning themselves in the web of irony they can no longer imagine what it is like to sincerely say what you believe.

Basically, the deeper you get, the further away you get from the truth.

I unironically enjoy these games so fucking much. These games aren't perfect but they struck me in all the right ways to make me love them anyway. Even when the flaws where obvious enough for me to take genuine mental note of. I feel the good far outweighed the bad.

R-Type Final was my first R-type game. And it essentially got me fully into the series. I plan on playing all of the series in one big marathon one day. Actually I've never even watched reviews of the game by anyone. It feels genuinely forgotten about so I pretty much played it in a relative vacuum. Compared to other titles…how good is this game? As a shooter?, as an R-type game? I feel alone in even have played this game let alone love it.

I like to think that I can be serious when I need to be and ironic when I can, including in imageboards. As for your question, I never had any qualms in admitting the games I like, I don't really care if my taste is shit for someone else.

still have Fields of Hopes and Dreams stuck in my head

>>15938514

I'll admit I'm not a fan of undermeme, I played the original because of the buzz, it was ok, I jumped in way worse hypetrains. I played the first few minutes of this one and it really felt like more of the same, the art is better, the gameplay tries to be deeper, but not really, and the whole "first act" is almost identical: Puzzle-solving, world exposition and a "bad guy" who tells bad jokes. I think the worst of it is that you really can't tell if the tobyman is a creative void or if he's playing it safe to milk the franchise to death.

I liked deadrising, theres just something about it, pretty much DoTD the game.

>>15914603

>TS1

>ugly

>unfun

it has its own style and is pretty fun for a console FPS

>enemies dont react to you at all

did you play above easy? the reason why enemies have slow reactions is because they are quite spread out to give controller aim time to kill them and they deal massive damage, they can even headshot you for an instant kill. they may be slow because you have the PAL version, im euro so i only ever played the PAL but when i emulated the NTSC version everything was much faster and more difficult

>>15938582

>>15937875

the spiritual successor was going to be set in the 60s and between mods and rockers, sounds like it would have been good

>>15938514

11/10 music.

But It suffers the main problem of having the number of bosses that actually challenge you in any meaningful way with attack patterns AND puzzles can be counted on one hand.

I hope he has a plan for this. And it isn't fucking garbage. Because he fucked himself up with that first game. Like Royally. Mass Effect 3 levels of fucked. He's lucky he stuck the landing of a not trainwreck chapter 1 of an official AU. Because he enabled so much worse in his already fucked fandom.

>>15938502

>>15938530

Yeah that was my main problem. I remember the first level being hazardous not because of the enemies but because I might accidentally fall asleep during the late nights of play. It was REALLY fucking bad in the first level. But that might be because I was trying to go for some of the other ending paths starting with lvl 1. Or also testing other ship types. Good times.

>>15938578

I…I don't know. I just got gripped from the second I played it.

Note that might explain everything: I only just heard how great the FF series was. 6, 7, 10 [either no one talked about 9 or I put it in a memory hole because I could not process FF9 existing somehow. 8 didn't even know about was because I genuinely didn't bother with it at all for some reason.I guess it was overshadowed at the realization that 9 existed and I genuinely didn't mentally process it]

So I figured I might as well pick it up. On a whim. People said it was a good series. I knew it had no continuity I just knew people praised each entry. But I only heard hype for the games potential release so when it was I didn't bother reading reviews and just bought it like a young naive retard.

And I was blown away by the style, detail, music, and gameplay. At the time I had never EVER touched an MMO. Period. I had no consistent internet so MMO's never existed to me. So the game was interesting.

As a gamer. I was incredibly isolated in my younger years [7-15]. I only learned of online stuff via popular sites/google searches back in the day. So I only saw screenshots/early youtube vids. So I was entranced.

Got my hands on it. AND IT WAS GOD-TIER. Played and beat the shit out of that game. Musically, visually, story-ly. I loved it. And wondered at a young age why the cooler races weren't playable. [I was a huge bangaa fan. So I loved any travelling bangaa hanging around.]

tl;dr - FF12 was only god-tier was because it was my first mmo game ever. And taught me the value of programming my own AI. So every AI in games since I figured out how to exploit the shit out of.

This lead to enhancing my experience with KH1 AI being good in my eyes specifically because I knew exactly how the AI functioned and exploited the shit out of it with the customization.

Any game that has shit customization makes me hate it. AKA KINGDOM HEARTS 2 AND ONWARD IS GARBAGE WITH AI FUCK THEM REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

>>15938645

FFTA - Fucking gr8. Not as dark or as deep as FFT but I enjoyed it for the lighthearted fare that it was. Didn't particularly care about the characters as much as the world was quite nice. My autistic brain didn't even register that it was all fake until the very end. Wasn't very happy about that.

FFTA2 was objectively better mechanically. But I didn't know the old world was fake at this point. So I just was upset why the old game never even hinted at all these cool new places and races. Still enjoyed it whole heartedly though.

At this point I had played and beat FFT and Tactics Ogre :Let us cling Together. I kinda knew those two games weren't as hardcore story wise. But only in terms of story. Spoilers never bothered me. Only the hope that I was lied to when it came to bad ends did I felt the same level of investment. Strangely you could fully spoil the ending to a good RPG to my old self and he'd still get fully engrossed simply because he cannot believe a bad/retarded ending could possibly happen. So he'd still be surprised.

So FFTA+A2 where fun.I enjoyed myself but wasn't as engrossed. Mostly because I got the ghist of they where whole different beasts. And also because I played FFTA first. THEN played FFT.

Like a lot of classics I played in a vacuum due to my lack of consistent internet. So most of my time I spent old school/mostly abandoned fansites, and normalfag tier shit. But my interest in old school shit was cemented was properly cemented with a sega genesis I got as a birthday present during the end of the PSone era.

And getting a PS2 during the early PS3 era. I never was ahead of the times nor online in private due to how poor I was.

Icewind Dale is my favorite isometric rpg series and not a day passes that I don't mourn the genre's death. Or Black Isle's, for that matter.

btw I'm not being ironic when I say I like MGSV. But just so anons realize I don't have total shit taste, I also love Dragons Dogma, Doom II, Super Mario World, Mega Man 11, Blood, Ghost and Goblins, Ghouls and Ghost and Super Ghouls and Ghost.

>undermeme 2

its just the typical "nonviolence is good" Undermeme moralizing and leftist virtue signaling with one of your companions always initiate violence so it become more a puzzle as to how you navigate Undermeme with that new dynamic.

>>15938578

>Why do you like FF12?

Not that anon obviously but I never hated 12, In fact I appreciated it's big "open world" map you got to explore. The lack of map was one of the things I hated most about 10 (aside from the unlikable characters, shitty story and voice acting). The combat wasn't really that bad, it was real time turn based combat that seemed like a natrual evolution for the series. Controlling the party was still available even though Gambits where encouraged they where not necessary and I often petered just to directly command each character.

>thought 10 was okay at the time

I genuenly hated 10 when it was released. And I even enjoyed FF9 but 10 was a bridge too far.

>gave 10 another chance and its a fun game

You are clearly a Squaresoft Shill, because nobody could honestly consider 10 a good game.

>FF12 felt like an MMO

Considering the only real contemporary MMO's out when 12 was produced was WOW and Everquest, I often find this critique to be a bit shallow. It's as if you never really tried to understand the games mechanics and just heird one of your favorite game reviewers say this and chose to repeat it tirelessly without thought. In fact I often like to think it was the FF10 fags (whom where the kiddo's who's first FF was 7) who helped doom the Final Fantasy franchise because they helped encourage the mediocrity by discouraging good innovations by valuing tumblr tier fanfiction and FMV's over game-play.

this is basically how it went down (according to me)

>FF7 was designed to attract a larger audience and used FMV's to sell itself to normalfags

>FF8 was cashing in on FF7 but pushed graphics over gameplay

>FF9 was FF7 but with a "return to tradition" came out at the end of the PS1 so nobody really played it and Squaresoft considered Traditionalism a flop

>FF10 Square doubled down on Muh Graphics, Muh Story and FMV's sacrificing more game-play to cater to the normalfags

>around this time the Normalfags get cancer and become Otherkin

>FF12 is an attempt to innovate the series. Square realizes the formula in 10 was stagnant because the traditional fans rejected it. But 12 is a flop because the Normalfags are too stupid to understand its complexity and reject it because its not a trashy watered down version of FF7

>FF13 is just a trashy watered down version of FF7 that doubles down on the trashy casualization game design philosophy of FF10

>After 13 x3 Square realizes they fucked up and tries to innovate again with FF15

>FF15 would have been great but some executive decides to strip out the combat because a Game reviewer who loves FF10 (who was an Otherkin Furfag and identified with Red XIII) cried that combat wasn't inclusive enough.

and that is why FF15 could have been the best FF ever but it wasn't and its all because of people like (you)

>>15938757

>>15938759

<spoiler

It's ok, I never finished ether game and only bothered pirating it because of the hype. I find them to be largely uninteresting RPGmaker trash and I can't wait for Toby to commit suicide.

>>15938750

I really don't think this is the case here. Especially since any game can throw in some gay couple that takes a couple of miliseconds of screentime and get entire threads worth of derailing political commentary from faggot political typwads like you.

Undertale was ok at beast. WIth faggots in it being portrayed in any amount of positive light with decent screen time relative to the entire rest of the game. Even if it where straight couples it would still have been a mild cringe fest. The problem isn't the agenda it's the fact an ok game is being praised for being on par with mother 2 and 3. And it added nothing of value to such games outside of a mildly interesting defense phase to RPG's.

Even in Deltarune he's yet to fix how fucking underwhelming actually fighting is. And that alone just shows his ineptitude.

>Super Mario World, MGSV, Mega Meh 11, anything pertaining to the Gouls and Ghosts series

I think this explains your lack of intelligence m8 :^)

>>15938801

Weren't 12,13, and 15's gameplay, story, and overall narrative direction royally fucked with by executives? I distinctly remember each game having their initial lead dev fucking leaving after with each title. Each having more devastating long term effects each time. A lot of changes and absolute fuck ups [or fixing of fuck ups] where completely trashed by them. Sure the exects where influenced by autistic screeching from 10/7 and maybe 8 fags but still.

<<15938831

>threads worth of derailing political commentary from faggot political typwads like you.

sounds like you are projecting kiddo.

>video GAME

this is your brain on /leftypol/ and /tv/, can only view the world thought the lens of the a Hollywood film director.

>lol u r a dumb dumb because smug chuckle its current year

>bla bla bla ff12,13,15 bla bla bla (just look above if you want the full quote)

>>15938978

JUST!

>>15938801

>It's ok

It's ok for you nigger, I had the botnet survey program resting on my hdd and had the misfortune of browsing the index and stumbling upon a spoiler. Now I have to wait two years to forget about it.

>>15938987

because turn based combat in and of itself doesn't inherently make a good JRPG combat. Even as early as FF4 square was playing with ways to break out of the turn based mold with ATB and you can see the same influences in Chrono Trigger. The fact that 10 had turn based combat is just because they where playing it safe. Playing it safe is what leads to games like 13 (which was also turn based). Even FF15 suffers because they play it safe. The whole reason they got rid of the maps in 10 is because they didn't want normalfags to get lost.

>You're going too far with that claim

no because the only reason SE is enabled to create shit is because the Fan base are casual normalfags who eat shit like FF10. The fact that the normalfags who are raised on FF10 tripe turned into perverted LARPing otherkin is immaterial to the fact that they where the casual normalfags that executives where trying to cater to when they made the games more accessible and inclusive to a wider audience of non gamers. The kiddos you see a Anime conventions dressed up like their favorite final fantasy character are normal fags. Cosplay and fanfiction is the cancer you get when you invite normalfags into a fan base.

Infantry rush the enemy base and cuck thier shit in

>>15939102

>>15939094

So you like the game because you can use the tried and true Zergling rush tactic to steamroll mobile phone casuals.

Yeah I can see that.

I love games that give me the feeling of being on a great adventure, and both Dragon's Dogma and Fortune Summoners both gave me that feeling in their own unique ways. In the end, that's what I think matters to me as the hallmark of a great game - it's not about the game having no issues, it's about the game managing to suck you in so you just straight up purely have fun.

MSR and PGR2 are two of my favorite racing games despite being outclassed by later PGRs. RIP Bizarre Creations.

Best game I've ever played.

>>15912886

WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABUT THESE BLACK CREATURES

For real though I love that shit game. Played it all the time growing up and just sucked shit up with the Egg Vac. Never got the true ending, but I might replay it if I can find my copy,

>>15939335

My man. v1.7 should be rolling out soon, right? They've been promising co-op for a while, although I think they said that would be v2.0

>>15939263

No they aren't they are just the same formula of casualization. If A= {1,2,3,4,5}, B= {1,2,3,4}, C= {1,2,3} etc. there is a clear trend. Where each consecutive letter strips out a digit form the initial set A. Likewise 13 and 15 just fallow the casualization trend set by FF7. It was only FF110 that this trend of casualization became so apparent that only soysoaked squaresoftdrones tolerated it. Remember the info-graphic called "degradation of a fanbase". Well FF10 was panel seven, FF7 was panel 4. FF13 and FF15 exist because FF10 was a huge financial success and it taught Square that gameplay doesn't matter, all that matters is catering to normalfags aka Weeaboo on tumblr and girls who like to cosplay.

>>15914593

Literally just beat SA for the first time a couple hours ago. Never touched it for more than 10 mins growing up so I have no nostalgia connected to it and I gotta say, despite some GLARING flaws, I really fucking loved it. It just has charm out the ass.

The whole time I was thinking "Yeah, I can see what they were going for there." I think Sonic Team had big ideas, but little experience to realise it with. I would love to see a remake that gives the idea behind the game some justice.

Or just a standalone Big the Cat fishing game. Sega already do Pro Bass Fishing games, so they could just copy what they do, stick Big in some weird and comfy locations and just let you chill out and fish. Maybe a few more boss fight/fishing sections like with Chaos, but a bit more in depth. Would buy day one for £15

>>15940110

>FF10 best game play in the series

I would have taken the bait if you where a bit more subtle.

>rayman

HA HAHA HAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<<15940254

I fucking blove both of Toby Fox's games and I don't give a shit who knows it.

Undertale came out with a fresh spin on RPGs by mixing it up with bullet hell mechanics, backed up with some of the most FIRE tracks of the year and charming characters that make me wish I could just hang out with them and see what other hijinks they get up to. Excluding the gay lizard, of course

Deltarune took this and made it way fucking better. Three characters for more strategic and interesing fights, more in-world bullet hell stuff and A FUCKING RUN BUTTON.

Yeah, sure, the tumblr side of the fanbase is the most cancerous thing from a game this side of Sonic the Hedgehog's fans (not all of you guys, you know which ones I'm talking about) but it doesn't affect what's actually in the game.

The whole "pacifism is the only way you're not monster" schtick in UT was contrived, but it is what it is. Got too caught up in its own hype for its own good.

I remember when I first heard about Undertale. The demo dropped and there was a couple threads about it, so I played it and loved it. It was the only game in so long that I was genuinely ecxited to wait for. Two and a half years later it came out and Tumblr took three days to ruin it and I had never been so pissed off in all my life.

>>15940333

>good thing with good music and presentation gets shat on by retards and faggots

Sounds like something else I know.

Yeah, I rather really liked both UT and DR. Music is on point as always and it has charm. The battle system has been improved ten fold in DR.

>>15938991

Guess they spent all their budget on hiring anita as a consultant.

As for me, PvE team games fighting through massive hordes of enemies are my jam, either swinging my 2h through skaven or blowing cops/zombies heads off with my shotgun. Makes me a happy guy.

>Vermintide 1 & 2

>L4D 1 & 2

>Payday 1 & 2

Genuinely enjoy them so much, don`t think I've found RPGS (Not casual RPGs which today are usually shit) which are as immersive or just filled with content that is so damn enjoyable. Don`t care if "normalfags" like it. I`ll love them till I die.

>>15914161

Have you tried Dark Times II? It basically takes everything good about BF2 and makes it better. Heroes are less bullshit OP, the AI actually USES heroes, the levels are just the right amount of random, and overall it's fairly well polished and FUN.

>>15932507

You just reminded me of a funny story.

>bored with a friend while playing RDR

>I was a low rank and he was a fair bit higher rank than me with better guns

>I pick a mexican character and just keep spamming voicelines at other players that pass by

>they look on in confusion as this mexican person keeps following them around, jumping up and down in place, yelling like a madman

>they of course start to run

>suddenly find out how easily we can terrorize other players

>my friend would snipe their horses from afar as they are riding them, and we would immediately descend upon them

>we get on our horses, yelling obscenities all the while, trampling the players beneath our horses' hooves

>the players can't die due to some godmode, but they keep ragdolling and stumbling whenever we run them over, and they are trapped

Good times. The best games are the ones that let you play them outside their intended purpose.

i actually really enjoyed legacy of darkness and the og n64 castlevania (even if they are tecnically the same game)

dont know why people tend to hate on it

i blame avgn and jontron

>>15947729

never had a problem with the controls of the character, the platforming is where i can easily see why people could have problems but understanding how movement works in this game it stops being a problem.

>there is no lock on

there is a lock on

>janky ass camera

you are objectively right, the camera can be a bitch. but you have to admit that at the time almost any 3d game had some problems with cameras

>>15947703

this character is mine

For me, it's the Ace Attorney series. No matter how silly the characters may be, how contrived the characters backstories may be, how retarded the writing may be at times, I will always love these games. Even if the recent iterations showed themselves to be less enjoyable they're still good. I love the series so much that I indulged myself in countless and bizarre fangames just to experience it in different ways. I know I will be very sad when it will finally end or die.

bumping cuz this thread is nice

also

the main games from the touhou saga are quite fun

>>15912891

THIS. Dear god, this game was amazing once you actually figured out how to play it, but figuring out how to play it was a monumental achievement in itself due to lack of documentation and the fact that it literally plays like no other JRPG ever. Even if you're used to the usual SaGa bullshit you'll be confused.

Still an amazing game with an amazing soundtrack and lots of hidden depth. At the very least, people who are interested but can't handle the frustration of playing it properly should try it again on an emulator. Save states make a huge difference when so much of the game is RNG-based.

Too bad it's so universally hated, we'll never see another game like it. Even Japan didn't "get" it.

This isn't really a recommendation list, but here are a few in order of enjoyment I've had with them.

Witcher 3

Age of Empires 3

Command and Conquer:Generals.

Arma 3

Endless Legend

Endless Space 2

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag

Star Wars:Jedi Knight Academy

Basically any Total War Game

Half Life 2, Portal, Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2

The Arkham Games.

ARK

Mount and Blade: Warband

Golf with your friends.

>>15912510

Everyone hated this game but i always loved it

It was the first Fallout game i did play, even after playing New Vegas (The best game), 3 & 4, and Fallout 2 i still think Brotherhood of Steel is a really good Fallout game and stays true to its roots while adding a new combat system inspired by Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (The best Baldur's Gate game)

It's the closest thing we'll ever get to an HD traditional Fallout and anyone who hates it either hasn't played it or is the typical retard who "REEEEEEEEEE IT'S NOT TURN BASED"

Here are my picks. Katamari Damacy is just a feel-good game. The music, the colors, the cathartic release of cleaning up everything by rolling along, there's just nothing like it. There have honestly been times where I've had shit days and improved my mood with this game, real magical shit.

Okami, despite being flawed in a lot of areas, has just enough of the right parts to make me love it. Purifying ruined lands and spreading nature is satisfying, and running across a lot of the huge areas is just relaxing. Collecting praise is fun, and just finding bits of the world to interact with the brush can eat up some time (gotta bloom all those damn trees and feed the animals). The combat's a bit too easy, and the hand-holding is annoying, but the locales, aesthetic, and characters have me coming back to this game every few years.

Luigi's Mansion is just straight up the best damn virtual crack out there. The vacuum mechanics just feel great. The *ting* sound of the ghosts when you hit them with your flashlight, that "just right" amount of resistance they give you when they try to flee, the rising pitch of the health counter as you suck them up, and finally the satisfying *pop* of slamming them into your vacuum. Every step in that process is a small hit of dopamine I swear, Nintendo knew what they were doing. Sniffing out cash in all the objects around the mansion offer these small hits as well, your constantly being led through the mansion by it. Plus it's a pretty short game, so it's really easy to run in an afternoon. Just a really solid experience from start to finish.

I put 200 hours into Peacewalker, if you've got friends the co-op can keep you entertained for quite some time. Also the difficulty of the endgame missions were a bitch, Custom Peacewalker can not be solo'd. Finally, there's just something about growing Mother Base that's really addicting. PMC Manager sim when?

The amount of effort that AV and Sega put into this game is impressive. All the unique music and shit I think is really cool. Controlling your machine feels great, and sliding around corners at insane speeds while the screen blurs is fucking sick.

Webm related is the only good thing the sequel gave us.

only thing I remember about mirror's edge is the hilarious controversy caused by this, lol

I've played through MGS4 12 times and probably still would be playing it now if I could find my PS3. I understand why a lot of people consider it the weakest of the bunch but I've always loved it.

Likewise, I know most(?) people consider Jedi Academy to be a step down from Jedi Outcast, but I just don't enjoy the latter as much. Jedi Academy's cheats have made for some of the most fun I've ever had in a game. As a kid I always used to spawn so much shit that my PC would end up crashing.

Also, this. It scratches my cowboy itch, I find the hunting pretty relaxing and I enjoy exploring its world. It's huge but the content feels relatively dense compared to most other big budget open world games I've played. I wish you could shoot while dodging like in Max Payne, though.

There's nothing anyone can do to make me not love Sonic and all his autistic friends. (He even has a nigger friend for diversity)

Has to be one of the best PS4 games I have ever played.
