ITT; That special game that helped defined the best time of your life.
>pic related
I'd give anything to go back. . .
Don't they have servers still up? Albeit not official servers anyway.
>>273100067
They do.
Gamespy's shut down though so you need an unofficial patch. But you can still play it.
I'm talking about the time of my life when I was actually happy. I got to play it everyday and I wish I could relive those days. I don't think I'll ever be as happy in life as I was way back then.
Sigh
>>273100514
>Feel garbage
Well this thread is ruined already
my best video game experience was during endgame BC and WOLTK in world of warcraft.
However it was also the worst period of my life and I don't wish to return to that. I also no longer have time to as committed as I was to a video game like wow. I'm just glad I was part of that long strange trip that was World of Warcraft before it was garbage. I have my memories.
Fifth grade was the best year of my life, the last time I felt like a kid before my bipolar got bad and I had to be put on meds. stuff just hasn't been as fun since.
During that magical era though, Wind Waker came out and it just felt really special. Pokemon ruby and sapphire, too.
This fucking HL2 mod, I met long time bros on it and it was almost everything I ever wanted in a shooter.
You had bases, you had vehicles that you could customize, you had small skirmishes to large scale tank battles, you had coordination between your squad members and the commander who played in RTS mode, research tech trees, and there was a sense of camaraderie.
Sure, there were problems like occasional griefers and being a mod, it was glitchy at times. The community had also turned into full on autism during its decline up to its death. But no other game has ever got close to what it did for me and I kinda wish some big dev who isn't shit tried RTS/FPS hybrids on a large scale.
BF would have been great if the aiming had felt at all crisp.
Like you play that shit and its kind of fun but then go back to CS in like an hour because its so clunky
Counter Strike Source
I played on one server constantly, and everyone there kicked my ass all the time, but it was still a ton of fun because they were all having a good time. Making jokes constantly, dicking around from time to time, overall just a community I really liked.
I also think of CS 1.6 a couple of years ago when the gro/v/e was active, that was also a lot of fun even though I got my ass kicked constantly.

Anyone else agree that it's the darkest turn based-strategy game they have played?
I tried to think of a game that defined the best time of my life, but I couldn't. A lot of games left lasting impressions, but none of them stood out, and I don't even know what the best time of my life is.
However, when reflecting on it, I realized that there is indeed one constant in my gaming history, something that follows me to this day, and started when I started gaming. It's the arcade racing/driving game genre, and its numerous subgenres. I don't know what it is that drives me to these games, but they've been with me from day one, and still are with me. Just a short list of the ones that I remember and really enjoyed for various reasons: OutRun (DOS), Skunny Kart, Wacky Wheels, BC Racers, Death Rally, Stunts, Slipstream 5000, the Screamer series, Whiplash, the Destruction Derby series, Hi-Octane, Battle Race, the old Need For Speed series, Killer Loop, RollCage, the wipEout series, Trackmania, the Test Drive Unlimited series and coming full circle with OutRun 2006. I know that some of these games are only arcade racing in the loosest sense, but it's the one thing that ties them all together.
Used to play LAN against my dad who would be downstairs and me upstairs in my room.
Our matches would last for hours. We would take breaks to eat dinner, always trying to pry info out of each other about our strategies and number of forces.
I remember calling him a pussy on the chat and getting explained to what a pussy actually is. I only knew it to be slang for being scared, but I learned that day it also meant vagina.
He would almost always win, due to me being young and reckless, while he was way more strategic and patient. I learned a lot about how I should think and act from playing those games.
Good times, I'd do anything to relive those days.

They have a lot more to them than just "kill x, grab x, go here" shit everything else has.
You actually get to do something in RuneScape quests.
They have writing and stories that are interesting, and have continuity between questlines.
>>273106478
You don't do them constantly to level up constantly. They require different skills, some are puzzles.
Even if you just look at the quantity compared to other WoW-like titles, the very fact there are fewer gives them greater meaning. Not every single person and their mother has a quest to hand out that will give you a new piece of gear and a ton of exp.

This or Desert Combat.
Never felt that amount of freedom even with other Battlefield games again.
Still, I find myself having a fantastic time with games even now. Mostly Nintendo games like the two obvious Wii U games, there's plenty of online communities that are fun to play with.
I'd trade it all for DICE getting their shit together or TF2 rolling back to 2007 gameplay...
>>273108376
Funny how that worked out. My parents divorced and my dad was quite abusive at the time. He would then try to buy me things afterwards so "I didn't hate him". The first thing that he got me after the divorce was an xbox and halo because my uncle said it was awesome.
Because the time was split 50-50 between his place and my moms, I pretty much only did two things over there: lift weights, and play Halo.
I loved that game so much.
>>273106478
quests werent really used for leveling (though they did give some decent xp)
generally quests were like mini adventures with puzzles, dungeons, bosses and remote dangerous locations and no 2 were similar
completing a quest would usually grant you access to a new area/weapon/ability/spell or something that actually progressed your character
also the fear of losing your shit when you die made them exciting
>>273109029
Halo was the last game I really got into with friends before my mom lost her job.
then we lost the house.
then she lost her sight from diabetes.

>Halo 2 and 3
mostly because I had always had a hard time making real friends, and halo gave me something to connect with people in my school. I ended up meeting some my best friends in Halo 2 matchmaking, and we all live within 20 minutes of each other right now.
When I moved away for a couple years during the last half of high school, Halo 2 and later 3 kept me in touch with all my friends until I moved back.it was also just a fun as fuck game.People had no qualms about shit talking and getting pissed at each other and your opponents. Zombies on foundation with the honor system was top-tier fun. It was great because you'd always have people for weird-ass custom matches since people would just spam invites to anyone and everyone. Not having stuff like party chat on the 360 made sure that everyone talked in game, and that just led to even more interactions.

You are in the majority with that opinion, but I felt the maps in 2142 were all over the place.
Cebere Landing and Fall of Berlin were pretty good, but the others were wonky and inevitably you'd still be inclined to get into the Titan which was always the same design every time.So I just never played Titan maps after awhile.
I felt like a lot more love was put into the design of maps like Dragon Valley, Kubra Dam, Sharqui Peninsula and motherfucking Daqing Oilfields.
But 2142 was still great, I can't deny that.

>>273107952
why'd they remove the pirates super saiyan transformation, shit got me so pissed
>>273111905
If you ever played BF2 Special Forces, there's a map called The Iron Gator. One team infiltrates a huge aircraft carrier and takes it over from the inside, other team has to stop them.
BF4's Titan mode is that but with a thing that you can blow up to win the game.
Added as DLC.
I know it's really recent but this game ushered in the greatest year of my life. For that I will never forget it
>>273111905
Kinda, it was called Carrier assault in BF4 as one of the DLCs. It worked the same way for the initial parts where you capped points and missiles were shot at the enemy carriers to a certain health and then you would be able to attack the carrier directly.
The problems I had with it were the game just turning into a glorified rush mode when you're inside the carrier and that the carrier itself didn't have much to defend against attacking vehicles like the titan did with its exterior guns.
warcraft 3 TFT. amazing campaign, custom games, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, FFA ladders. Daily tournaments. I had no need to even play other games for years.
This game was awesome in its prime. And all the mods that came, and of course project reality. I think I was around 13/14? When I remember I played project reality and was maximum comfy. Anyway. BF2 in its prime was amazing and I feel sad for those who never got to play it.

>>273098219
I probably spent a sold 2 years of my life during High school where every free moment I had was spent playing Diablo 2
Dark Souls 1 at launch (before all the cheating and shit).
Summoning someone and seeing they have some awesome weapon you haven't even SEEN yet. Invading people and having fair fights. Being the guy that everyone asks for help/information.
Now everyone knows everything and backseats in twitch streams and even try to correct me when I knew the game back to front before they had even played it.

I'd give anything to see a private server for that game, but everyone cares about the newer games more. I can't get the same feels from the newer games.Doesn't mean I don't adore them, but nothing beats the old tavern music.
I miss Demon's Souls before the Dark Souls bandwagon hit.
DeS threads used to be GOAT, so much good content and trying to figure out the game with other people was part of the fun for me. Same can be said for Dark Souls when that first came out, but then the bandwagon hit and now the Souls fanbase is pure cancer.

Maybe I should hate it because video games practically killed my early social life, especially after MMOs blew up. But I don't. I played too many games with all kinds of different feelings since then to hate it.
>>273117387
I always felt like whereas dark souls's lore felt hidden, but available in the game. demon's souls's lore was mostly just absent. i would love to find out more about the setting of that world though, know any nice places for good canon information or at least fun speculatory shit? demons left me with so many unanswered questions like why does the adjudicator have a bird on his head, why was the dragon god in the intro sequence and so on.

Fucking RuneScape. I loved this game, back when my perception of MMOs was of mystery and adventure. RuneScape, WoW, and MapleStory (yes, fuck you) were such a large part of my middle school and high school life.
Nowadays I can't see MMOs as anything but min-max number crunchers driven by a constant struggle to be as efficient and progressed as possible. The magic is completely gone for me and I don't think I'll ever get it back. It's a fucking shame.

They sure will, times move on and technology get better and easier to get the hands on.
But the graphic of a videogame may reach photo-realistic by that time, and everyone get used to that shit and not caring about polygons like these anymore.

EQOA was pretty fun as my first MMO when I was 14.
I haven't had a best time of my life.
Life has been fairly equally shitty so far.

This one hurts me the most. I always played with a bunch of people on teamspeak everyday and an effective team could turn the tide.
This was such an awesome game and it's a shame nothing will ever touch this gameplay like it did, back in the day.
>>273114153
You mother fucker.
RIP EuroFarstar. Sorry to all the Jedi I hunted down and killed.
I spent so many hours just wandering around in Super Mario Sunshine's comfy as fuck levels imagining I lived in a non-rainy country. Something was lost in the entire Mario franchise after this and Galaxy. Now everything has the same sound effects for Bowser, generic Hammer Bros sounds, little shit like that.
aaaaand now im sad
It's between this game, Fallout 2 and Might and Magic 7.
Halo 3, finished high school that year, and spent a whole glorious Australian summer in matchmaking, and having 8-12 player LAN parties with my mates.

I'm sorry I was only 12 when it came out and everyone was playing. It was also a lot of fun with friends.Before somebody says underaged I turned 18 4 days ago.

TF2 before all the Mann Co. bullshit.
I can still have a hysterical time on TF2 for the Xbox 360.

I feel the same about a few games - FF7 when I was young, Battlefield 2 a bit later - last time I saw people really talking and working together properly in an online shooter, had some great skirmishes, WoW burning crusade + early wrath, first playing skyrim when it still seemed good.
>>273120412
Well, yeah. But i'm talking more the rehashed nature of the actual sounds. Bowser has the exact same sound effects in every game from Galaxy onwards, most of the time just copied directly into the game folder from the prior games.
tfw duel servers
tfw bespin streets
I would give everything to go back these days. It hurts to know lucas arts or ea will never do the same or atleast similar game to this game

I didn't really play through them, but these are the childhood games of my life.

>Command & Conquer: Red Alert 1, 2, Tiberium Sun.
RA 2 is a great game, I still play it from time to time, gives me quite a good time.
>Ragnarok Online
This game ate tons of my time, sometimes I regret I put so much time on it. My high school life is totally wasted and no girl. At the same time I am glad I join the MMO genre before it went to shit since WoW came out. Best time.
>Neverwinter Nights 2
This game really turned me into a game enthusiast. Story is mediocre but every things are so new to me at that time, I enjoy every twists even it seem cliche right now. It introduced me into a bigger gaming world and classic trpgs like Dnd, WoD. Mask of the Betrayer is god-tier.
>mfw someone in the game mention Sigil, I found out Planescape: Torment because of what the NPC said.
>WarCraft III, TFT and custom maps
The campaign itself is tons of fun and the custom maps brought me into map making, I even ignored my exam for it, the map turned out really famous and is worth it.
>The map looks shit when I look back, tons of flaw but its existence always remind me I should make a game the way I think it's fun. I wonder how many developers and publishers thought about it these days.

Metal Gear Online 2 was the best of the best for me.
I used to just work 2 shifts a week and lounge about at my parents house and play this all day and all night. I'd stay up till 3 in the morning with other desperately obseessed Aussies and Kiwis just to play Survival for the next 4 hours.
I used to train people from noobs and pitch them against other friend's noobs.
I wasn't the best at 1v1 me cunt situations but I was known for being a sneaky cunt with strategies.
I'd give my left nut literally if it meant a re-release of MGO2.

holy fuck
Any Everquest bros here? It pretty much ruined my academic pursuits forever but man I have serious nostalgia for that game, just spending weeks on one level and traveling around exploring the world to avoid going crazy
>>273108514

so many hours
grinding in this game always relaxed me
>>273120845
Sorry man, I was busy playing the superior Dark Age of Camelot, it's nice you have fond memories for KICK... KICK... KICK... KICK.... KICK...

You're still a faggot. Nobody is interested in your shitty opinions
>>273120920
Combat sucked but grouping with a bunch of people and hanging out all day was comfy as fook
>>273120645
Your description of NWN2 is identical to my experience with it. Looking back at the base campaign now, it's almost laughable, but back before I was exposed to any other RPGs, it blew my mind. MotB blew it even more, that expansion is still on my top vidya list. Penultimate writing on Obsidian's part.
Ut 2004 and Battlefield 2, 2007 - 2010
Best mp games ever holy shit.
>>273120687
Anyone? Looked like shit but huge maps cos of the voxels
>>273120824
Not that anon but,Please tell me you at least lurked.I came here when I was 13 back in 07 but I lurked until like 2 years ago.
This will always be mine, I remember I played this in around the 2nd or 3rd grade, and I easily sank 600 hours into it. I'd take my Game boy Advanced every where with me, and always be playing it. I remember exploring the world, and being blown away. I can just remember the flowers and the bright colours,or going furniture shopping with my parents while entering my Pokemon into contests. It's a good time to think about, I was tiny, so I didn't really worry about anything in the world everything was simple.
I bought Omega Ruby a few days ago, and playing through it has been amazing, it's a bittersweet nostalgia. I'm not complaining about my life now. But it makes me miss when things where so much simpler.
This and Fable will always be amazing to be because of that
>>273121235
I remember my dad and I taking turns on DF2. Game was hard as balls. two shots and you were ded.
Fun as fuck though when you got into it and were gud.
>>273121273
>his most fond memories are for the worst entries into the pokemon series
ouch
>>273121270
I only posted like once in the first couple of years to get some recommendations for ps2 games, didn't really start posting a lot until this year. So yeah I did.
>>273120762
I was 13 when this came out. If that makes it any betterIt doesn't
And I think i was even on 4chan back then too, only lurking. this place scared me. I've been here too long
>>273120713
Fuckkk
That game was sooo much fun online.
>playing all nighter
>accidentally stumble across the skill of getting instant head shots
But yeah I played this at a time where I would just drink all night and play video games, sleep all day, wake up and do it allllll over again. No worries and no problems
>>273103745
Farcry: Instincts multiplayer on the original XBOX mofo. You could customise your own maps and play them online. Most were absolute shite.
>>273120645
Which map?

>>273101264
Empires was a mod for bf42 before hl2. Shit was cash but few players and very buggy.
>>273121404
I had played most of the Pokemon games before that, I just loved Emerald. I still do. Niggas gon hate, but 3rd Gen is still my favourite generation
>>273121035
I can still have fun to go through the main campaign just by enjoy that multi-class system. Shame many games today tend to simplify everything and too protective for its players.
>>273108376
for me it was halo 2
halo 3 was the time where I was beginning to have all of that adult shit hit me in the face and I didn't get to spend as much time on it as I'd like- to put it into perspective I had about half the amount of overall kills in 3 compared to 2 and never bought any of the maps for 3
IMO Halo 2 was the pinnacle of the series in terms of multiplayer and Halo 3 was everything I wanted from 2, just a few years too late. I really envied all the little shits who started their online careers with 3, wireless controllers, solid online experience and very little glitching/hacking. At the same time the kids who jumped on the Halo bandwagon ruined the online experience, I remember only playing customs and avoiding matchmaking like the plague after maybe 6 months online. Gone were the days of saying "good game" and trash-talking without using "your mom" or "nigger".
>you'll never have your friends over on a Saturday night after bringing home free pizzas from your part time job and getting beer from your older brother and hooking up the Xboxes in System Link and trash talking all night while getting drunk
fucking Xbox Live ruined social gaming
also fuck 343i for trying to cash in on my nostalgia, I know there are still 10 year olds waiting in the wings to ruin my 1-flag CTF on Lockout by leaving early after hurling racial obscenities at me
I miss my RaCast
I'd give anything to have one more Socom golden age
Also fuck /v/ for telling me Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was shit

now you have to work for it
think what would make you happy, set some goals and start working for them
you can make it
this shit right here. my dad got this for free with pcmag and i played the shit out of it. i remember being on edge on every loading screen and laggy moment because my computer would constantly BSOD. fuck windows ME.

That is one comfy looking Constantinople
>>273122338
WHY'D THEY CHANGE IT, I CAN'T SAY
I couldn't go to my Senior prom because my grandma's cancer was getting worse. So I bought this for my now wife to make up for it.
First Pokemon game for her, remake of my first Pokemon game. Shit was magical for both of us, for different reasons. Used to have a team just for her in battles so she actually stood a chance.

This and BF2142, with emphasis on 2142
The atmosphere of it was just insane, huge titan battles, leading your squad to glory, often making last stand with granade as your last flag was overrun.

>Tfw you will never play runescape for the first time ever again
Why even live
It was like the best fucking thing ever, I played it as soon as I got home from school on my shitty PC. It could barely run anything, but it ran runescape fine. Those were good days.
>>273121679

I remember spending fucking HOURS on 3 with my friend, we later got 2 and were amazed at the balance and quickly switched to just playing that.

Red Dead Redemption.
I was just getting into drugs when it was released, and I remember snorting 30mg of oxycodone right before booting it up. Truly a magnificent time, before I became relentlessly addicted to heroin and started methadone treatment.

>>273101087
Fuck are you me? I wasn't diagnosed and put on meds until high school, but otherwise, that sounds just like me. WW is even one of my favorite games of all time, but I'd also switch it out for MK:DD or SSBM.
Back when was when my brothers used to play vidya with me too. Now I'm the only one who ever plays the shit that I play, it's depressing.
