wrong, starcraft counterstrike era was best
StarCraft - 1998
Counter strike - 1999
i'm talking SC2 and source moron.
early 2000's was where it was at, as well as pic related.
>say two games from the 90s
>no I meant the 2000s ones idiot
how morons be on /misc/
Kek. Sounded like you meant Starcraft and Countrstrike.
Yes those were technically better games but the spiritual decay had started to set in by then and it was the beginning of the fall
You gave me a feeling of nostalgia I've never had before. It's like a previous life experience.
Had probably over 10.000 hours on this age ~11-14.
>they took this away from us
>10k hours
>age 11-14
10k hours is like 416 days, you telling me you spent more then 1/3 of your awake time between 11-14 on vidya? Did you not have any parents boy?
>10k hours is like 416 days, you telling me you spent more then 1/3 of your awake time between 11-14 on vidya?
1/3 seems a bit low
If you meant Starcraft 2, why didn't you say Starcraft 2? Also you can't detract from CS being 90s. You are wrong; accept this.
Half - Life was released 1998, the CS mod was released '99, with licensed release coming a year later in November of 2000s.
Half-Life was built using a modified id-tech Quake Engine (from 1996) named Gold-Source.
CS is 90s gaming.
MGS-1998
Half-life, Ocarina -1997
HL was great
I enjoyed Marathon/Marathon 2. Playing those in a dark room with only your CRT lighting the room was nipples
marathon chads we just cant stop winning
Early 2000s but because of flash gaming. Internet games was a gold mine we didn't appreciate anons.
I appreciated it. I played the frick out of flash games
Best was Madness Interactive. I loved removing the enemy AI to just practice throwing knives into them.
I appreciated it. I played so many versions of stickman fighting games I lost count. Newgrounds and the site that was big before that, I forgot the name but it was a great time.
CS is mindless and impulsive. It is garbage. Doom 2 tournaments where better and had bigger maps with way more fun weaponry. Battlefield 2 was keno as frick, but the industry literally throttled its online game play because it stalled future sales of first person gaming. Still hasn't been anything as good since. 90s PC gaming was exceptional, and the OP can split hairs left and right. Would be hard to argue the 00s or teens could match it. It was a time when game developers where under the pozzed radar and could be genuinely creative. Heck, the first civilization game is better than "indy" games today. Command and Conquer was, and is still fun. Back when the industry wasn't handcuffing game development to avoid making a game that would keep interest for longer than a year. Some of the games where even free back then and you never had micro transactions. Madden 96 on fricking genesis is better than madden 23.
CS was a breath of fresh air when it came out - recoil patterns, 2-3 placed shots to kill, no re-spawns until end of the round, teamplay. it may seem like not much of a deal, but up until that points fps games were about strafing around in circles, soaking up damage. back then it was the boomer fpses that got stale and repetitive.
To even stay alive in CS you have to be on aderol or meth. It's fricking mindless. I never met someone who was any good at it that had a life or touched grass. It isn't a game you can casually play either. You have to dedicate yourself to hyper pattern recognition to even survive 60 seconds. And that's all it is, a series of mouse maze patterns. It's boring as frick. The maps are tiny. Girls can get good at it quickly so it's that bad. I have never seen a girl play C&C and be good at it. They hate it. Because it requires abstract thought. CS is a flow chart. It's easy.
Sit down and play civilization. It's stupid hard for a newbie. Requires an IQ North of 100 to play, unlike CS.
>muh moronic take
Ya ok. Go back to your fortnite kid. Mommies got the milk and cookies coming and will over look the small microtransactions for a few more days.
I played CS casually from the early betas right until CSGO. Until recently, it was normal to play multiplayer games casually.
>fps i brainless big brains play rrs
I hear this a lot, usually from people that suck a both.
But you're right, its a massive time sink if you want to get good and its boring to play if you're not.
That's just it. Anyone can get good at it. I was very good at it. Because I had a background in first person shooters already. I played it for about 15 minutes and said frick this and went back to battlefield 2. Which is 100× better that CS as a first person shooter. How many women did you speak with on CS compared to any other first person shooter? It was designed for people who sucked at big map fps. It attracted impulsive and inpatient people. CS was where morons went to boost their ego. If I wanted to torture an intelligent person I would make them play CS.
It was designed for people who wanted to play cops vs. terrorists. Having gigantic maps like Battlefield was not the norm.
>It attracted impulsive and inpatient people.
When you die in CS you have to sit out the entire rest of the round.
A round can last 30 seconds. It's a gun fight in a phone booth you Black person.
Impulsive and impatient people, yeah maybe. I never heard nerd rage like that in any other game. I'm an impatient fps player myself, i want to go at it and not sit around waiting for shit to happen, thats why prefered the bf series because there was always something to attack and you didnt have to wait for a minute or more when you died. Its strange those rage nerds stuck to CS, its like it was the one e-sport fps so thats where you could get epeen points. Or maybe its just the long respawn that makes it so much sweeter to pull a kills streak, becuase you know the other guys are smashing their keyboard when you pull it off.
Tiny maps. Tiny brains. Tiny attention spans. Tiny Tiny tiny tiny CS GO. It derailed first person shooters. Opened up the market to impulsive moronic rage nerds who can't handle the discomfort of not knowing their map like their mothers bed.
You have not played CS and probably haven't played any other shooters for that matter.
Ok memeflag. If you say so.
Your nonsense isn't any less nonsensical just because you have a US flag next to your ID.
k.
Teenage goth chick's can get good at it and fast. Anyone can. It's CS. Take all those female CS teams and put them in battlefield 2. They will not show up the next day. We all know itm. CS is fun for low IQ low impulse control Black folk. A round can last 30 seconds. It's the ultimate NPC dead giveaway. npcs love that game.
>battlefield 2
Bfs only saving grace is vehicles, otherwise it is just more cs/cod modern fps trash
>It isn't a game you can casually play either.
You´re confusing the actual tryhard state of the community with the past, chances were you either played LAN with your friends or online with people not yet affected with the esports mindrot.
Doesnt change the mindlessness of it. Tiny Maps. It's a game for the kid who didn't grow out of the bugs in a jar fights. It's fun for 25 minutes. It's one step above track and field video games. Who can mash the buttons harder and faster? That's CS. There are great first person shooters. CS is the meth head low IQ south side of Chicago of computer games.
Almost every FPS had "tiny maps."
>Who can mash the buttons harder and faster? That's CS.
You have never played CS. Why are you larping like this?
You keep repeating yourself. Show flag seed of Cain. Enjoy your inbred genetics.
well, most video games at a high level boil to a few select tactics and metas. civ is like mario party for morons and the single player is ass, since the AI either cheats or is completely moronic. while the multiplayer either drags on through TB play or everybody disconnects when they realize they are about to lose. there's no sense of a struggle or tension to 4x games, hence nobody plays on lower difficulties or highly select MP modes and settings since they flow like shit. hence why they suck compared to the 'simple' action games.
Civ what? The new civ games are garbage. Civ 1 you child. It is Supreme. 2 and maybe 3. All vidya AI cheats. At least with civ 1 and 2 you can adapt and overcome. Civ 1 will break you on its easiest setting. And once you apply yourself and get better you will experience endless amounts of gameplay. I still play it. Because ITS A REAL CHALLENGE. It was designed for adults by a high IQ indy game maker. Sid raised the bar, kids can't play it for a reason. You have to be smart. A 10 year old with a juice box can dominate CS. Not civ. The fact you bring up post 90s civs games makes OPs point. Heck, look at these moron arcades now where chuckie cheese arcade games are literally a timed play, not 3 lives. Vidya is made now so onions boys and females can compete. It's all dumbed down you Black person homosexuals.
Nobody played soldier of fortune 2 and it makes me sad... some of my best gaming experiences of all time there.
moronic take
to me it seemed like they did a hard turn away from gameplay and mechanics and focused on graphics and storytelling which ruined it for me. plus bad graphics means you had to use your imagination more.
today i only play civ4 and guild wars 2 for my pvp fix.
i tried anno 1800 and it was ok but dictator city builders are kinda lame
also been playing elona some which is kinda cool
You forgot Half-life, Quake II and III.
Quake III was released in December 1999.
Me, on the right
i beat quake 3 on nightmare
this bait is way too late in the thread its past bump limit anon.
its true
xaero took me 4 hours
Half-life was shit for multi compared to quakes and ut. It has done fun ideas but ultimately it was only single player experience
You saying this is hilarious considering how many hldm mods and modes and all kinds of shit people made. Counterstrike is a fricking HLDM mod man.
Cs is cs. That is like saying qwtf is quake. Spastic. Something like rocket arena, freezetag or jail break in quake used the queue base game and adds an extra gametype on top. Cs changes everything.
If you want to go there then cs is quake as it runs on that heh
>Hldm mods
Before cs hl had frick all players compared to other fps
HLDM was fine
Was shit compared to quake
If you didn't play the og Doom games or at least the point or X-Wing/Tie Fighter, or the point and click Lucasarts games, you missed out.
Forgot about x-wing
>point and shoot Lucas Arts
Straight up mindless fun. Good shit
Full Throttle was my favorite
This. X wing and privateer are titans. I feel bad for the kids these days that have an IQ north of 100. In the 90s morons didn't have computers, or couldn't into dos prompt. It weeded out the unwashed. Go back to your console where you belong. That was the 90s. It was an amazing time.
>bad command or file name
Dir/w
Point and click LucasArts games like monkey Island, Indiana Jones last crusade, Zack McCracken? Yea those were breasts. Also Sam and Max Hit the Road (with its "Illuminati Member 402" in the credits, what??!).
Cs was literally the start of fps downfall. It was considered (rightly so) noob have at the time by every other fps community. The fact it is now considered the hardcore option days everything you need to know about modern fps
lemmeguess
>you think halo was the best fps evea
Wow halo is shit, worse than modern fps
so ur just bad at FPS
>halo was fantastic and you will never know the rush of linking two xbox's togeather and spending all night with your besties just trolling each other in blood gulch
>i was the first person ever outside that map
Yeah I had that but on PC via other Habra. Glad you have fond memories but halo is shit
This. CS was cancer for fps development from then on. Those who couldn't hang in battlefield 2 went to CS. Tiny maps, tiny attention spans, tiny brains, female champions of the game. Lmao.
kys
video games are pure mental goyslop
in all fields
Pre mid 2000s games were literally the only non pozzed media
Yes, pretty much any game before 2005 was superior to anything after. We can argue which one was best, but after mid 2000’s shit went downhill. If you had LAN parties with you bois, drinking surge all night, you experienced the pinnacle of gaming. Miss those days…
I am not saying playing games was good for you or anything.but many of us probably escaped a lot of the brainwashing from TV due to games, it was hard to put propaganda in games early on so the medium was ignored by ((them)) for a bit.
Today it's all the same, but back then every hour playing games was one hour not spent having your head filled with garbage.
They're more mentally stimulating than watching movies and television.
Doom is much more impulsive than CS. CS is slower and more tactical.
Tactical? Wtf is tactical about a tiny Map and running for your life from the word GO. Doom 2 with bigger maps, and the ability to make your own maps throws your theory right out the window. CS maps get old within 30 minutes. Bored with the doom 2 map? Make your own. Do you even know what tactical is? Or because the game is tacticool you gleam it that way? CS is pattern recognition. Girls can get good at it. And fast. Because 90% of CS is fricking dumb luck.
Bigger maps doesn't mean more tactical, and people have always been able to make their own CS maps. Do you even know what CS is?
No, they have not always been able to make their own maps. CS is the low IQ low impulse control fps. Deal with it. Show flag, line of Esau.
games hit their peak in the ps1/N64-ps3/360 era when it was Gen Xer nerds making all the games after 2012 everything went off a fricking cliff once they started to retire on mass and millennials and zoomer trannies became the people behind all the games. and this is coming from a millennial.
It's pretty much over now.
Black folk are the most satanic human class

Deus ex
We didn't realize how good we had it
Just played it today
Unlike simcity4 which is broken when bought on steam, the gog version of simcity3000 runs fine, except for scrolling is seemingly hardware based and goes far to fast, to you have to rightclick scroll around the map
Eh 9/10 experience, disasters turned off, peak comfy and relaxing
Simcity 3000 is the first one I ever played and I still like it over 4. I also usually turned disasters off.
SimCity 2000 was better (especially Network Edition)!
Kingpin! Holy shit. My friend and I released a mod for that game. Kind of like "Bag Man".
Deus Ex is the greatest game ever
Xbox and Halo are what fricked gaming up because it became big money which lured the israelites into it like kotick
>Deus Ex is the greatest game ever
still is.
i play it every 18-24 months.
some people are constantly updating it on steam but they slowed down.
would pay big bucks to play again with everything re-done in unreal engine 5
ONE PATH TO FREEDOM
Man I still go back to dune 2000 every once in a while.
Even better you can now play it on your phone
>HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR IS CHEATING
Silos. Needed.
The first online multiplayer game I played was Tribes.
Back in '99.
I joined a clan using the built in-game IRC chat and downloaded roger wilco.
When I played my first scrim with my team and used voice chat they were shocked to hear my 11 year old voice lol.
"It's a kid!"
Tribes was awesome. What clan?
TC
Terran Coalition
Maaaaan, tribes WAS awesome, shame what happened to it, so much potential.

Rubber shoes in motion
My guy!
Fricking loved that game!
Yes.
damn that one brings back memories. games just aren't made like that anymore.
True..
I had a sidewinder force feedback pro to play this with
This game is the reason I've got a Windows 98 VM.
Did you ever play the real mech? With mechs you painted and dodecahedron die, and dot plots you filled in for damage? Luckily I had an older brother that did and got to sub in on occasion. When it came out on computer, we had a ball
Who doesn't like playing BattleTech on Saturdays while relentlessly mocking the Holocaust at the game table?

Excuse me
You can still play infantry online.
best game.
I miss this game so much.
It's not the same.
Copped the remastered edition of this and Red Alert for $3 on Steam. Only ever played a browser version of it for a bit. Looking forward to trying it out.
AoE II is my all time favorite RTS. I also liked Warcraft III.
We are going to have to act…..if we are going to live in a different world.
Rise of the Triad
How can no one not love this theme?
Frank Klepacki was only 17 years old when he wrote the first C&C sountrack
Huh, pretty cool. I didn't know he was that young when he did the first one
95-05 was a golden age.
It really was. I loved the tactical shooter Swat 3 and original Ghost Recon.
kino
?t=97
>And I tell the media what to believe
I was thinking about this the other day, great game.
Yes, but I think since two years ago we are entering a renaissance thanks to how easy is becoming for small teams to develop increasingly complex games on a budget, the AAA kino era is dead and buried but the future is bright
I think you're absolutely right, some of the biggest games of steam comes from small teams. Deep rock galactic or valheim for example, both from small teams.
Its hard to compete titles like battlefield because they have animators etc who makes it look great, but you really dont need all that to make a good game. If you compare triple AAA games from 20 years ago, they all look worse then current indie games when it came to animations, weapons etc and those games where still good. The unreal engine looks awesome, i think were not just going to get awesome looking games but also movies.
Yes, we are going to see the SOVL of early 2000´s niche rpgmaker games break the chains of technical limitations. I am looking in particular to see an encore of the ps1/ps2 aesthetics, last game I played on 22 was signalis and if Unity can look and handle like THAT the coming years surely are going to be good
Banger OSTs also, and people are still doing remixes:
Red Baron
The first multiplayer game I played was Hexen. I have a friend who had a LAN network at home, and we'd play deathmatch most days after school. So many great games made in that decade
Hexen
Heretic
Doom 1+2
Warcraft 1+2
Star Wars: Dark Forces (The sequel, Jedi Knight, you could use a light saber and force powers)
Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries
Z
Syndicate Wars
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Theme Hospital
Sim City 3000
Most games back then were apolitical to cater to their audience (young men) who were also apolitical, the game companies and developers weren't pushing agendas. Simpler times.
Doom 2, Mech 2, Syndicate
Hexen and heretic was kino, those early level graphics and restrictions on map never fit for a futuristic fps like doom imo but it was perfect with the gothic team of hexen. Way more immersive if you ask me
For me, the first Quake was the most immersive. And then Half-Life was great too.
Quake was the next gen fps, first real 3d. Cant compare it to doom or heretic. Duke nukem was a step in between.
Real 3D 6dof was the Descent series. Unfortunate that it gets overlooked. Game is very fun if it doesn't just make you motion sick!
I get what you're saying and I kinda agree with it. They did more work on the ambient noises like thunder and lightning, creaking doors, etc. to add to the atmosphere. Heretic and Hexen also built further on the Doom type engine by allowing you to look up and down (with the keyboard), which was pretty novel at the time.
As an aside, I also liked Dungeon Keeper. Bullfrog made some great games back then
I only really played doom 2 with mouse and freelook, so i never noted that difference between doom and hexen. Just the ways the maps where built, layout, collecting keys to progress etc made more sense for some fantasy castle then futuristic humans. But i was never that into those game, when i really got into it games like duke numem 3d was out so thats where my nostalgia is at.
>bullfrog
Played theme park world a lot as kid, pretty good.
C&C was pretty good. but the cutscenes with the real actors were cringe.
>to hell with your self proclaimed destiny mr romanov!
Age of Empires were peak RTS though
don't share , this is my secret LIST !
-best games with friends at home :

-best online shooter :
battlefield 1942 , 2 , (oh no i never played 3) , 4
counter strike source , global offensive
MoH, NFS, Twisted Metal (a few more years on those wheels will do you good)
I just bought the remastered collection the other day, it's on sale for 3 bucks right now.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/Command__Conquer_Remastered_Collection/
remastered is shit
Do tell why, genuinely curious, was tempted to get it.
When did you get stabbed in the heart for the last time anons? for me it was when supcom2 and c&c4 rolled out on 2010 for RTS, then a year later crysis 2 shat on everything the original was and vowed no never purchase a game on launch ever again
I miss playing Earthseige bros
i want a life sim game but can't fricking find one except the sims but thats shit
try stardew valley, it's a farm simulation
i'll have a look at that ty anon
I begged my parents to buy me this game as a kid. Frick I'd do anything to go back to the 90's
This game
i never got this game, i just wondered around aimlessly, it was at that moment, i knew im averagely intelligent
i feel ya i was too young or to stupid to play this game at the timeD2A0X2
My older brother bought it. I just sat and watched him play on some shitty Mac 600 or whatever the frick it was. Great game
Doom was my first and I love it to this day.
Unreal Tournament ate up a lot of my time too. Frick, getting nostalgia bad right now. Those were the days.
Diablo

Syndicate: American revolt
Sim Farm
X-Com: Apocalypse

What went wrong
>Syndicate: American revolt
the expansion was universally hated because of the unfair difficulty
>X-Com: Apocalypse
objectively the worst entry in the original series
Oh I'm glad to hear you can crowdsource opinions, Gopnik. Original syndicate was too easy the moment you jacked your agents with chemicals. Apocalypse was fricking kino because of the cityscape & I loved the focus on how dystopian the human daily life was pre-invasion.
Syndicate was amazing, never new there was a expansion.
Marathon+Expansions > Halo
halo was literally marathon 4 dipshit
also making maps on forge and editing weapons in resedit and forge was breasts
Letting it run overnight and waking up early to check your progress before the next mission. Minigun plz
Holy frick I played the frick out of SimFarm. Great memories.
I had almost idea what I was doing, but I remember Strawberries being the meta that worked for me to rake in cash
Animals was super finicky
And now I remember the menu music theme opening ding-ding ding ding ding-ding ding ding
I had played the older ones with no understanding, but 3000 I had with the booklet that explained stuff.. Or maybe it was a pdf file on the cd-rom?
Regardless, it has great music and it's a joy to watch the city expand without having to manage 40 different parameters like in modern games
Played the shit out of Tropico 3 and the later editions just add more and more bloat that takes away from the core gameplay and mechanics, even just the farms becoming circular multicrop things that just PUMP OUT cash crops making it far too easy
I still haven't played 2k but I intend to at some point people say it's better than 3k. I'm aware that the first simcity wasn't that great but is still relevant as "the one which started it all".
JUST DO IT UP

civ series is my absolute favorite.
rented civ for snes when i was 13 and it blew me away. i remember shamlessly lying and doctering my interim report card so my dad would buy it for me.
then played the hell out of the ps1 version (with its whopping 10 memory slot requirements)
then finally got a decent pc and played the hell out of 3.
ended with 4 and still play it to this day. couldnt get into ones that came after
Same, civ5 and onwards severely dumbed down and unenjoyable.
Someone above mentioned dark forces jedi outcast, to this day I think that is the best star wars game, has the best lightsaber and force mechanics. Multi-player was breasts.
Anyone remember Nox? Also never winter nights had some awesome multi-player, I liked LoTR server.
>Nox
Yup was cash
no contest
Loved it but spent more time with IV in the end. I reckon IV > II > I >>>>III

Absolutely
The only contender for better would be its sequel.
Alpha Centauri
Soul Calibur VI is a new game compared to the classics ITT but I highly recommend it. I consider it as one of the modern games that will revitalize gaming and set our course back to the stars.
the time for vidya is over, everyone who played in the 90s is to old to waste endless hours of his time like that
Yeah, good times, everything was new - soundcards, 3D accelerators, cd drives, games magazines and books full of cheat codes. We had home consoles but arcades were still massive.
But it was also the time when the first big push for making games more "girl friendly" happened - just imagine all that untapped market potential, they kept saying. Most kids these days think feminism/wokery in gaming is a new thing, lol. Just like my generation thought global warming was our thing, unaware of how long it had been around just waiting for the right time.
Game magazines. I miss those.
Damn, me too. EGM was so glossy and seductive, frick I nearly flunked out of high school reading those heavy mags. Remember Game Informer I believe it was, with the insane comic strip LOL total spasticks over there
No - Game Fan! That was it. LOL
God the graphic design was just ADHD as frick
Yes, I would keep it in my trapper keeper and read in class. Those days…
Yep. sigh just lost in my little world of silly happy fun
orbital globohomosexual cannons are the future.
Warsong on genesis was fun. Final Fantasy Tactics was legit my favorite FF. Loved them all up until maybe 8, but Tactics was my jam. I like the turn game play format

These games are the best ive played since i was a kid, They feel real to me. Most enjoyment ive got out of a game as an adult
Any Anon's play the Panzer General series?
90's was the pinnacle of everything. The minute 2000 hit everything went to shit and it just gets worse and worse every year.
I’m with you. Just enough technological advancement for good shit, but not yet pozzed.
I still play Descent and Descent II to this day. Lots of player made levels that I only recently discovered too. Good shit. Level sets are still being made to this day every so often.
Remember Terminal Velocity? that was a fun 6df one too
Based as fricking shit. FreeSpace rocks too.
Check out the "Levels of The World" expansion pack for Descent if you like user made stuff. There's 4D (Yes 4D) stuff you didn't even know the engine could do, like the map "In Square Out." You fly out of a wall of doors into a room...there is a cube in the center and you realize you just came out of it. Every single side of the cube is a different hallway despite being suspended in the air in zero g. Trippy shit.
Comfy Fatty Bear
All art forms have their peak, and the subsequent decline. Opera, paintings, Movies, the Novel, have all peaked and then either declined or died completely. Gaming's rise and decline was much more sudden than the aforementioned, and the '90s was certainly the best for it as an art.
PC, console, and tabletop games were at their best 1990 - 2000.
pc was still good into the early 2000s until around 04 when console popularity started exploding
I agree.
PC gaming took a nose dive w/ the launch of the shitbox and specifically Bethesda porting Morrowind to it in '02.
That was the deathknell for PC as a platform.
2003. Then the Navy took it over. Literally. SOCOM was military propaganda and a joint operation between the navy, Sony (a Japanese company), and the independent American studio Sony hired to make the game. Straight propaganda. That's why it was so good and addicting. So-crack
Frick this shithole website.
you will never come of age in the 90s zoom zoom
it was over before it even began for you bud
no one cares about your schizo garbage threads, homosexual
Ok, reaching way back in the Brian cells. There was a tactical, turn based game on PC set in the medieval period where you had to build your city/state and also conquer. It wasn’t very popular. If I find a screencap I’ll share.
Also, there was one like Populous but Greek/Roman centric. Forget the name. Any oldgays have ideas?
>Brian cells
lol
what about the "karen cells"
It’s a joke me and my buddies used to use bc of our moronic friend Brian. Then it spilled over to everything else.
>I just lost my last two Brian cells listening to you
>don’t you mean brain cells
>yes
Lord of the Realms?
The best
no matter how much we talk about this shit, they'll never make a good game
I just preordered aoe 2 for Xbox, finna get real nostalgic
have a nice day you pathetic homosexuals.

Frick games were developed so much better back then.
Beware! The lord of the land approaches.
Literal Black person bot thread.
Also has Dungeon Keeper been mentioned yet?
The second game was even dubbed in Danish by a bretty cool voice
Yes, have you tried Dungeons 3, it’s pretty much a sequel.
Not political. Also gaming is a complete waste of time. You literally are just sitting & staring at a screen. Go live life.
It's only political when these dumb motherfrickers are busy calling all video games degeneracy.
Do you literally not know what a video game is? Interactivity is its entire premise.
It's not the 50s anymore homosexual. The world is a judge dredd movie and suspended disbelief is necessary now more than ever to maintain sanity. "Go outside" gets pulled over and tased. Watchs homeless guy buttfrick a passed out girl. homosexual hands you leaflet that reads "destroy white male patriarchy" then waits in line for a formaldehyde burger.
Take your wisdom to /k/ and let these guys enjoy common ground for once.
Shut the frick up you deranged homosexual, you don't even leave your house.
At least he can fit out his front door, unlike you.
I am skinny as frick you mouth breathing israelite.
>I am skinny as frick, and so is my wife!
Everything that comes out of you FRICKING israelites is bullshit all of the time.
Well I denounce the talmud. Do you, you morbidly obese portable fatberg?
Frick off schlomo. You will never know what it is like to be adored by a blush ivory plump blue eyed blonde woman. Not ever.
Lying israelite Black person.
Cope. Seethe. Dilate.
I would if you weren't full of shit.
so you would dilate?
You homosexuals would like that I'm sure.
You're the one doing it, fatberg
Lmao!!! You would if your hole wasn't oozing puss and your oxy prescription ran out.
Cuckold Simp
He wasn't talking about your dick.
Stop projecting homosexual. I own a house, and will spend as much time in as I want. I bagged my limit this last bow and rifle season and the old lady is pregnant. How is your top ramen tonight?
State? Have you ever tried muzzle? It lines you up for even more autismo (crossbow, recurve, reload, ambush)
I got the muzzle loader, waiting for my glass. Will be an additional hunting season next year. Gonna take a trip to wiscy. Won't disclose my state no offense bro. My kids and emmediate family eat natural red meat year round. I have a freezer dedicated just for the venison. Deer stroganoff is my favorite recipe.
I use a Swedish Mauser to rifle hunt with a scout scope. Rifle was made 10p years ago. The swedes had the best steel foundry in the world. They had a secret recipe for their steel. The 6.5x55 swede is to this day one of the finest hunting rounds. I am going to upgrade to a 6.5 prc next year, but will still hunt locally with my 100 year old rifle.
Your wife’s bull has been busy
That shit doesn't work on guys like me. Look. I know you think the usual tropes you fell for work on others, but they don't. Just because you will never find a woman to cook, clean, produce, and admire you doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Just people like you. I am nothing like you.
If you haven't checked out the warhammer games though then you should. Also WoW up until the end of Wotlk
Except /misc/ is being raided by homosexuals right now.
Is the remastered version of this worth the upgrade?
True for the most part but there are exceptions.
Anyone played Soldier of Fortune? Frick what a GAME.
I wish that the dismemberment in Soldier of Fortune was standard in every shooter. We have hundreds of times the CPU/GPU power of 20 years ago yet I still can't shoot someone to pieces in most games.
That’s a pretty sick school shooter you got there
L4D2 seems to be the only one close and even then they're only zombies. I heard about a game called Red Faction which had destructible environments that is something I wish games had too.
>Red faction
God damn that takes me back.
Why do goyim love games so much?
Don’t you regret watering all that time staring on a screen?
Welcome to Ganker.
>Don’t you regret watering all that time staring on a screen?
Like you're doing right now?
We don't need to spend our time desperately convincing ourselves we are master race and not the seed of Cain. So we have more free time than you.
Mids 2000s was better.
Unreal Tournament 2K4
Civilization 4
Rome Total War
Half Life 2
F.E.A.R.
Escape from Butcher Bay
GTA San Andreas
KOTOR
Warcraft 3
Such a great time to have a PC. I built my first high end PC in 2004 and had no shortage of great stuff to play.
Vice City is the only GTA worth mentioning.
You're an idiot, and GTA2 is amazing.
No way. All three of the original 3D games were amazing.
I still think GTA 3 is the best one.
They got progressively better then peaked with San Andreas imo. Shocking to think back then it was just a year wait between each new game.
Now that Rockstar has turned to shit it's a decade between each new one.
I’ll give you UT, HL2 and GTA SA just bc I remember playing it in my buddies basement.
90s if you are single player oriented.
00s if you are multi player oriented.
This is a fact.
lol did anyone else fall for anal rampaging known as star wars galaxies?
>Star Wars
Nobody really cares outside America.
I mean there are SF hobbists but that's about it.
i didnt care about sw either but my friend was super hyped over it, even bought the game for me.
concept was awesome. sandbox mmo with almost completely player created economy, from large scale resource harvesting (with harvesters made by architects) all the way to creating vendors to sell ur stuff. dynamic world you could place houses and structures anywhere and design them however you wanted. 32 professions ranging from combat to merchant to musician to politician.
but sony fricked the playerbase over so badly i remember massive serverwide protests before a gamewrecking expansion was about to be implemented and people who grinded for many months to get jedi (alpha class) were screwed cause they were going to make it a starting class.
combat system was absolute trash tho
so sad. it was so awesome and so horrible at the same time
Now do 98-02. This period is better that bloody spot you call a flag. Go back to rising sun and imperial rule. (And more experiments on the chink bugs plz)
You are literally all worthless israelite Black personhomosexuals.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
They thought removing Hitler would solve ww2. It does nothing, but eliminate the communism scapegoat. RA2 was better for multiplayer, RA1 had the best story. I swear they sold C&C to get rid of its theory.
Good night guys
No. 90s Amiga games were. The industry was actually healthy at the time. People may certainly remember the early PC era, sure, but it is a pale shadow of that which came before.
funny no one wants to talk about the shameless pirating explosion that coincided with the downfall of pc games.
>this Black person wouldn't download a car
Mhmm, just like piracy ruined the music and movie industries, yes? Man I miss film producers and music publishers, zoomies will never know what those companies did!
yes pretty much. pirating swept away all the mid and low level producers in all those industries and only a handful of moneygrubbing corporate bilge was left behind
It's totally not that big companies use their monopoly to buy or push the opposition out market.
TA was fricking amazing
Actually the downfall was when EA gobbles up all the small studios and destroyed them. *cough* Maxis *cough*. Piracy was nothing.
hahaha ha ! i read here much CS hate shit . whata ?! CS is the best reaction time shooter . aim and shot in milliseconds .
Muh milliseconds. Lmao. Thanks for proving the point. In baseball, once the ball reaches a certain speed the batter physically can't have the reaction time needed to aim and hit the ball. CS is 90% luck. It's why girls got good at it and why it attracted the most adolescent audience.
>CS is 90% luck
kek someone couldn't hang
This motherfricker probably didn't even play UT.
Teenage goth chick's are good at that game. Kys.
You have not played CS. Why are you larping like this?
Says the memeflag. CS is for troons and window lickers.
I accept your concession, rabbi.
I fricked a israelite chic in Santa Barbara one time. 3 times in one setting. Her israelite husband had a slip at the dock and a really nice sail boat. I know because that's where I used to frick her.
>political thread about 90s games
>ctrl+f "arcanum"
>nothing
Black folk what the absolute frick.
I *hate* gnomes.
>but anon it came out in 2001
frick you you're a GNOME
It sure was
>Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge
the mind is quicker than the eye
i got this for christmas the year it came out... but my computer was at home and we were at a rental property...
>so i just had to play powerstone2 with my brother and cousin

>tried supreme commander but it just wasnt the same
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ACT, IF WE WANT TO LIVE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD
yaaap *siiiipppp* best game i dun ever played there
Consoles ruined PC gaming, particularly when their architectures began to essentially be PC hardware. Game design went to shit once PC games began to be console ports. The reliance on the DLC revenue was another milestone on the road to hell. Then women began to get into developer studios and brought their moronic politics with them. It has been argued that the price of a game needs to be adjusted for inflation. I would be willing to pay $100 for a game if the game was edgy, politically incorrect, extremely violent, trauma-inducing, and willing to say Black person a lot in the game's dialogue, as well as let me say Black person while playing online. We need based games more than ever.
This is a thread full of glowBlack folk and bots and you morons can't tell the difference.
based patriotic digits of hang all traitors
>spastic
its ok that you didn't know cs was a mod for hl but you look like a clown anon.
>ok that you didn't know cs
You misunderstand. Cs was a total conversion. It has about as much on common with hl as quake does
You're a fricking israeliteBlack person now denounce the talmud or leave, you fat ameriisraelite troon.
you could have just said website
No homosexual, this thread in particular pay attention.
i bet you didnt even play chex-quest
Why the frick would I play that shit game.
cause it was free, Black person
Jesus Christ you're a homosexual. Where did the vidya touch you? Show us on the doll.
Nova was good too.
Always equip a solar panel.
Damn right...
Wing Commander

>i hate the antichrist
>i denounce hte talmud
>ur all Black folk
I *hate* gnomes.
I don't get the hate on CS, sounds like you people just sucked at it. CS was God tier. I still play CS Condition Zero to this day, on the only gungame server around now. Gungame rocks.
CS:go was great for prison-break servers
>mortal kombat is a good game, but I think donkey Kong is the greatest game ever.
>donkey kong sucks!
>you know something? YOU SUCK!
For consoles: Mario rpg, shining force 1 and 2, and killer instinct, plus mk1-3, and donkey kong 1-3.
I still get down on those games.
>shining force 1 and 2
have you played phantasy star 4?
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that 1, good call. I was just thinking of it yesterday too.
I'm one of the rare people that also loves #3, but probably bc I played that 1 first.
PS4 is epitome of the genre.
i played 2 3 and 4 in order, 4 is just one of the best rpgs of all time and still holds up amazingly well. It is truly impressive.
After what they did to "shining" in the modern era I'm kinda glad they stuck to PSO for phantasy star, 5 at this point would probably be awful jrpg trash.
Now i have the theme from when Alys dies stuck in my head lol
Ahh the nostalgia
that fricked with me as a kid.
aeris who motherfricker
Chrono trigger too, awesomeness
It's a long stroll down memory lane this evening
It's amazing how braindead you fricking morons actually are at this point.
Video games are for trannies and manchildren
B4 thread dies, anyone else enjoy Blood and Blood 2?
have a nice day.
After you, you'll probably need at least a .303 to make it through that blubber layer though. You're so fat you got rolls on your skull.
i liked wing commander one and wing commander two, falcon 4.0, doom, half life, diablo, duke 3d, fallout, command and conquer, civ 2, heroes of might and magic 2, monkey island 2, planescape, star control, another world, metal slug, street fighter ii, super mario kart, sonic the hedgehog, ocarina of time, super mario 64...
...
was a good time
Art direction in Metal Slug was legendary. You can see the artist in action if you go watch Tank Police.
tank police - feel the power that you got!
This one I realized had some globohomosexual in it. Some very blatant. But it was still very fun to play.
The memories keep a cummin
hey here ! the matrix > hogs of war ! whata ?! check that old game , pig's with rocket launcher !
Want some rye? Sure you do.
Discworld and Day of the Tentacle were also a fun click and play games.
>yes
