Very curious as to the fate of Cal Kestis and the crew of the Mantis. The first one was a fun and great game. Except for trying to navigate the mini map. That was the one problem I had with it.

The stupid map/minimap pissed me off so much in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmartigan Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 BTW if any of you nerds are into RTS, the remastered Age of Empires is the tits.

Forsworn looks promising. Ditto the new Jedi game. After Ragnarok came out and I platinumed it, I haven't seen anything I wanted to play all that much. Not much coming up soon, maybe dead space remake? Otherwise for this year, Im looking forward to Starfield, Hollow Knight: Silk Song, and BoTW2: Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe Alan Wake 2, loved Control and I'm optimistic Remedy can make another badass game . Also, I'm hoping Horizon: Forbidden West will be released on PC.

Admittedly, more of a Total War fan personally. And Medieval 2 mods are still being made and updated regularly. A lot of cool mods (especially for those of us without a machine good enough to run some of the newer games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built one in HS, but haven't bothered since. I am now considering it since you can buy a graphics card at a reasonable price these days. There is nothing quite like the visual appeal of games run on a tits gaming PC.

thelawlorfaithful Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So here’s a question. Why isn’t Metal Gear Solid remembered with the same fondness as Ocarina of Time? They were released in the same year on dueling consoles at the zenith of their power. Both received universal critical acclaim. They were the clear cut two best games of the year, sometimes sharing the award. And yet it’s Ocarina that is the clear cut favorite 25 years later. Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you answered your own question. OOT is considered one of best games of all time (if not THE best game of all time https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/all/filtered ). MGS is good, but it came out the same year and was overshadowed by OOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYO1016 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This is a tough list to put together, but in no particular order: Metal Gear Solid 3 4 The Witness Doom The Last of Us Knights of the Old Republic NCAA Football series God of War Borderlands Fallout 3 Disco Elysium EDIT: Meant MSG4, not 3. That scene where you're crawling through the microwave hall hit me right in the feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been an XBOX and recently PC gamer so I have never played TLOU and I was kinda over zombie shit so I wasn't too excited for this show but it is really good. The first 2 I watched I thought"This is pretty cool and a fresh take on this genre" but last night I watched the 3rd episode and holy shit it blew me away. Such a big risk to so early in the show to take a big diversion and tell this beautiful romantic story in the middle of this horrific world while still contributing to the world builiding. Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett should be up for some awards for their one episode. we may need a seperate thread for this show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AztecSU Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I have almost no free time anymore but when BotW2 comes out I'm going to give it a shot. Hoping they got serious about the dungeons and dropped the munk temples. The puzzle solving has always been my favorite part of the franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not? I think the difference is probably Nintendo keeping Zelda lo-fi by comparison to the evolution of MSG. MSG was not as accessible to younger players, I think that also has something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t make any of the lists with us nerds. Accessibility to a younger generation might be the answer. Older players soon got quality sequels and tons of games influenced by MGS. Zelda fans got bizarre sequels that were great on their own, but they weren’t Ocarina. Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

ridgeview2 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I was looking at picking up Dead Space Remake, but I'm too chicken to play it so I'm watching a Twitch streamer play it. This game is f'ng terrifying! I wouldn't survive the first 15 minutes on my own with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
