What do you like about the series? I don't think its a bad game. Its just not for me.
I just uninstalled it. I went in completely blind. There was a lot to like about it, gameplay was fine, but the game design I feel is just downright tedious. I just wasn't enjoying myself. A lot of the complaints I have about it can be made about Monster Hunter, which is series I love so I refuse to say its shit.
If you play it for a bit I think you'll find the exploration incredibly rewarding, and the gameplay should grow on you more as well.

It's a triple A series that actually plays like a video game. You can carelessly walk off ledges, losing is a very distinct possibility, and it takes a certain threshold of skill to make it through to the end. Also, the paths through the game aren't obvious, exploring is fun because walking on buttresses, narrow ledges, and whatnot is fun.
That said, the game is needlessly cryptic and in the first dark souls, some of that stuff just feels like shitty design they retroactively legitimized because...

Tedius, terribly designed, terrible combat which surprised me given the amount of praise it gets. An RPG with no story, lore is mostly autistic speculation.
It's the gold standard for "hardcore" gaymurs. I "got gud" and it wasn't very fulfilling. I feel like most Soulsfans just enjoy the feeling of beating a hard boss encounter and tend to overlook the poor design.
Alright boys,
I need a fix of some amazing goldsrc nostalgia. Recommend me some mods, well known or not.
Also general half-life discussion.
>>334629052
Single-player is the way to go. Sadly, most HL1 multiplayer mods are dead like Action Half Life, the Specialists, Firearms, PVK, Vampire Slayer, Tour of Duty, Natural Selection, that one revolutionary war mod whose name I can't remember, etc. Although, I think Firearms and PVK mods, as well as, Zombie Panic got ported to source plus NS2 was released as a stand alone - not sure if any of those are alive.
Anyway, for single player try these

There's two half life 1 mods: one where you play as a head crab and another as a cat. They were great but I can't remember either of their names
>>334629382
Yeah, I played through Sven with a pal recently and had a good time. Occasionally I also hop onto TFC but its hard to find servers.
As for single player I haven't tried any of those except for They Hunger. I really liked but honestly it was too scary for me. I dunno what it is, maybe the fast-paced nature of it? I beat Amnesia with ease and watch a shit-ton of horror films but something about goldsrc horror games like that and afraid of monsters just frighten the fuck put of me. Maybe I'll power through...

How have these held up? Anyone play recently and enjoy it?
SA holds up fairly well on a mechanical level
VC kinda falls short, but can be enjoyed if you have a massive hardon for 80s pastiche
3 doesn't hold up
3 aged like milk Buddy
VC has the style and doesnt age like shit
Sa is only playable with graphic mod imo
>>334628568
just play them on pc and you will be fine

This is modern "buys a console but can't even decide what games they want to play" /v/ you're talking about here.
Is there any news on the a new Nintendo handheld? Like seriously? New game trailers or anything?

the community

Enemy design, some creative shit
>Bad
Pontiff is the worst boss in vidya
>Ugly
My game randomly switches what item I have selected, always to ember specifically. I also have had enemy attacks phase right through me and not deal damage. Also the Shmaiden in Shlack is the worst fire keeper so far, she's so fucking boring.
>Good
Looks pretty in some places.
>Bad
Enemies have too long of combos.
>Ugly
From decided to meme too hard, and make almost every chest a mimic, gets pretty annoying. Haven't fallen for any of them yet but still annoying.
KOF VS SFV?
Which game is better?
>>334628008
XIV isnt even out yet motherfucker.
that said Im looking forward to it more than I ever did SFV
Killer Instinct
>>334628008
Despite all clay hair, sfv looks way way better than kof. Gameplay wise, who the fuck knows, kof ain't out yet
Do you have a song that always bring you back to a moment in a game?
For me it's

Even after nearly a decade, I still think the treatment Bioware gave Saren is fucking retarded.
>he was a loyal soldier along with his family
>he's convinced by the council and everyone else that the humans are a threat that must be dealt with
>he fights humans, loses friends, loses family, gets irreparable emotional damage
>the council suddenly decides, nah, forget it, humans are cool, and he sees the people that murder his family basically being treated even better than harmless species that have been with the citadel for decades
>his mind snaps and he turns against his government
>instead of at the very least redeeming him he gets put down like a fucking dog, despite the fact that this man was basically a hero that got fucked by the system
I mean, in many ways, he could've been Garrus. Except you would've gotten him starting with the second game, once you redeemed him in the first one - maybe it could've been a main Renegade difference since a Paragon would've sucked the Council's dick and put him in prison or something.
But what the fuck was the point of establishing him as this broken victim of the war and the Council's machinations in the first book, if they were going to completely ignore everything and treat him as a generic monster in the first game?
He was a mentally unstable war hero that needed help, not some crazed maniac that needed to be put down.
But instead we get Garrus as a companion because he ALSO HAS DADDY ISSUES. BECAUSE EVERY CHARACTER IN THESE FUCKING BIOWARE GAMES HAS DADDY ISSUES.
And don't get me wrong, I love Garrus. But Saren was a missed opportunity. I'm still salty about it.
The books are retroactive bullshit.
A sad attempt to showhorn an authors super special themes into a video game series which doesn't know how to handle it.
>>334627858
I read one of the books. What a horrible mistake I made.
I feel you man, shooting up the Council with Saren would've been great if he hadn't fell for the indoctrination meme.

Might not be much, but you should look up Stoked: Big Air Edition if you need a snowboarding game fix. Plays like Skate, has a PC version, and the soundtrack is pretty great.
Still mad that Skate is dead.
>>334627657
is the next battlefield game a WW2 game or something or is it WW1?
>era of good games is gone
The great debate.
>>334627494
>>334627831
Or the better box art
>>334627494
Vice City has the best single city of the ps2 era GTAs, best soundtrack, best atmosphere.
SA has the most content, most features, and best gameplay.
I personally enjoy Vice City more, but I'd say SA is probably the overall better game.
You're going to play it, or be a borb, /v/?
