I'll agree to everything but resident evil. Fuck off contrarian 4, 7 and 2 remake were sold

The community for Jedi Outcast and Academy fucked the games into the dirt.

At least 3 keeps the theme pretty intact. 2 is all over the place with everything from medusa to flying anime knights to jabba the hutt. Fuck DaS2

Don't get me wrong I love 3 and even 2 to some degree. But the way they butchered lore and unity (even so it is unfinished) of 1, it just makes me sad.

Any MGS after 3 is bad, except Ground Zeroes.

How much work did it take to make this into a metal gear solid reference lol

Nice.

I hate how they butchered warrior tanking. It used to be unique in being purely a dodge and mitigation tank that required top skill to just working like lancer

3 was the best one

I LOVED Gotham City Impostors. I was able to convince 6 friends to buy it too. However it got kind of Pay-to-win with the Electro Ball weapon or whatever, and Crime Alley's upper ledge became notorious for camping because the megaphone combined with the health pack made people impossible to kill in such a small area

Update turned it into gay CS:Western and it used to be such a unique game.

I witnessed how Dungeon Keeper died as EA killed Bullfrog.
Years later, after the wound had healed, I witnessed EA digging up Bullfrog's corpse and kill it some more.

I haven't played 3 yet, but 2 was solid imo. It took me awhile to get used to the faster paced gameplay because before I would just tech 2 just about everything on Dark Crusade before playing progressively.

This entire series is a tech demo.

Ground Zeroes is literally a cut level from the phantom pain. It would have been a flashback for Big Boss during the chopper ride back from rescuing miller, it's fairly obvious in-game since it just does an ultra lazy re-cap while flashing images from ground zeroes in that MGS4 style

God bless that user who leaked it

Every franchise I like.

Tribes deserved to die, holy shit that game was stupid

God the FUCKING irony that this time people would be fucking ecstatic if Battlefront 3 got cancelled

Had you not played all those games to death on the NES by the time All-Stars came out?

Tabula Rasa. NCSoft needs a one way ticket to the hell where people are skinned alive.

even with its troubled development and stunted depth it was still more fun than any other MOBA to me. The simplicity was actually kind of refreshing because you didn't have to be totally autistic to grasp the meta

Everything.

Let's be fair, Shattered Horizon was a playable techdemo from the getgo.

I don't see why back to fronts were a problem, they kept matches from stalemating forever.

Designing the game around CTF was dumb anyways.

Tribes were destroyed by Yea Forums. The game was comfy until you assholes poured in with muh reddit victory. It brought more anons and more redditors who screamed what they would like to see in game. Devs added that shit, of course no one bought it and game died in like 4 months.

I was having so much fun until demoman update. It's at that time game went full retard with lootboxes and special offers for retards. I remember uninstalling game later when I saw soldier with katana and thought 'how could it be made even worse? ' then f2p happened. Fuck valve

Still, to this day, I am heartbroken. I don't care if it lacked "content". I had a community of 20-30 friends who ran a town, made our own fun, and basically "lived" in the Star Wars universe. 2 years of fun, friendship, and countless nights going hunting and setting up harvesters. All thrown away for Smedley and SOE to chase WoW's success.

MOOT

I hear ya. Game spawned so many huge communities that were so big they were producing their own maps, mods and even server plugins for new gamemodes. Some ran their own imageboards and forums that produced tons of content.

The first few item updates were okayish but then it just went to hell where they kept fucking up the balance and decided to cater not to people who want to play the game but more the dipshits who just want to show off their stupid items with particle vomit everywhere. Remember how a core part of the design was silhouette readability and solid class counters?
youtube.com/embed/ebvbVO1QE5o
Then all the piled on cosmetic shit wrecked that and then you had items that fundamentally changed class roles to the point where everything was an absolute mess. Then the additional item trading and other UI clutter that became the main focus.

Matchmaking also killed off a ton of the good community servers.

The entire mmo genre. Pre Fuck off zoomer before some child claims they were all bad.

it feels like all computer games now. when i was little we were quite poor, and i had an atrai 2600 and then a master system, and i'd save up pocket and birthday money and buy a game, but i wouldn't know which games were 'good' or 'bad' because i couldnt afford games magazines or whatever, and i would play the game and enjoy it.

Then when i was a bit older and i worked i'd get all the consoles and everything i could afford and play games and feel happy.

Now i am even older, i still buy things, but they just sit there collecting dust because i don't have the capacity for fun anymore. And games don't feel fun, those that are supposed to be just feel gimmicky, and those without gimmicks, just feel like a slog.
