ITT: Games that were rightfully forgotten.
Game becomes way too repetitive and enemies are turned into bullet sponges
inb4 remember me
>>320898023
Here are some quick thoughts i didn't want to put into OP.
The game is probably my biggest regret of the last console gen. An absolute waste of my money and time. It plays like shit. It's designed like shit and drags on to boot.
Bare bones graphical fidelity and the biggest waste of John Goodman's talents since Blues Brothers 2000.
Fuck this game. Fuck it to hell.
if they would have just made it a racing game like they wanted to in the beginning, i think they would have had something really solid
would it have sold to the pc gaming audience? possibly not
but they absolutely nailed vehicle controls with a pc configuration
better driving controls for pc do not exist
>>320898330
Too bad its wasted on a title that isn't a racing game.
And what little driving is in the game is fucking superfluous and only adds fluff to a game that is in dire need of some protein shakes.
>>320898475
worked better than hl2 at least
>>320898576
HL2 is a bag of dicks all on its own but it was also released in 2004. I would have expected some progress by then.
Just to continue with the intended theme of the thread, here's another piece of gaming filler.
>>320899243
That ass won't be forgotten.
>>320899243
They had to have known right?
You don't pick a title like that unless you got balls of steel. That or your're huffing spray pain.
>The devs are French
Definitely paint.
just cause 3. hasn't even been out half a year and nobody talks about it anymore
oh, and elder scrolls online. nobody even really bothered complaining about it
>>320899243
>>320899383
>>320899435
so other than the ass, was there anything good about that game?
>>320899506
>elder scrolls online. nobody even really bothered complaining about it
Why speak ill of the dead?
>>320899565
Eeehhhhhh....
>>320898023
>bethesda get their hands on a game engine that isn't gamebryo
>game still turns out shit
surprise surprise
>>320898275
>It plays like shit.
it actually has extremely great gameplay
best gunplay of any newish game and driving mechanics were super arcadey and fun
it was a huge mistake hamfisting the town and quest shit into it and not just making an id game with deathmatch. they were so focused on doing something different they crafted a failure.
>Bare bones graphical fidelity
best looking game on last gen consoles, runs 60 fps at all times unlike 99% of other console games. Looked great on PC as well. People didn't understand the graphics system and focused on the wrong things
>>320899506
>just cause 3. hasn't even been out half a year
Came out just a few weeks ago. People are maybe still playing it?
>>320899565
It's got some decent scenery and the memory remixes are kinda cool.
every modern ubisoft title
>>320899894
>decent scenery
except the fact that you can't enter a single building or interact with anyone/anything
what a stupid game. I especially liked how the combat consists of doing fucking nothing. batman combat ruined console games
>>320899724
I played enough of this shit to know exactly what it was. And i have had of going on about how your post is wrong and the game is fucked as all hell.
So im not gonna do any of that. It's been 4 years since the RMS Ragetanic dropped to the ocean floor and i'm glad it did.
The only point i will contest, is how the game looks like shit when you're going close to ANY texture of any kind. And seeing as how gunplay is almost always in an enclosed environment, you're looking at blurry textures for like more than half the game.
>>320900042
I quit a third of the way through, the aesthetic was neat but that combat was fucking trash.
>>320900186
the textures aren't blurry if you don't jam your face in them. general inside scenes look far better than any other game at the time and run 60 fps even on xbox 360. the gunplay is superior to any game since.
yes, textures look bad up close. but the full scenes, ie what you actually look at while playing the game, completely destroy any game made at the time.
>>320899724
Megatextures were incredibly hit or miss.
They looked AMAZING on the scenery and when distant, but when you were indoors (caves, buildings, etc), you really noticed HUGE flaws.
They should've mixed megatextures with proper textures for up-close moments.
>>320900401
>if you don't jam your face in them.
Too bad it's a damn cover shooter at best. The game wants you to jam your face into blurry textures.
>general inside scenes look far better than any other game at the time
Crysis 2 was released that same year. Months prior even.
>>320900496
>Implying
The game was one of the best shooters of 2011.
And no one ever forget about it. For better or for worse.
>>320900004
siege is bretty gud
>>320900598
>Too bad it's a damn cover shooter at best.
it's not a cover shooter whatsoever. it's meant to be played aggressively like id games always are. if you played it hiding behind stuff, no wonder you didn't have fun, modern fps games trained you out of having any grasp of mechanics or intensity.
>>320900583
how is this even possible.
holy fuck.
>>320900695
I'll never forget the 60 bucks and the shit throw that's for sure.
Got baited like a little boy just because it's DOUK.
but thankfully i didn't but super speciall 100+ bucks edition.
>>320900859
Deja vu all over again. This isn't the first time i've read this argument and i sure as fuck aren't going to continue it now.
Game blows. Sold like shit. Made id reboot Doom.
>>320900897
I got my moneys worth
Full price.
>>320901120
>Sold like shit.
Sold over 3 million copies, not that much but not a complete bomb.
>Made id reboot Doom.
good, they were initially trying to make it like rage with a bunch of npcs and shit. who the fuck wanted any of that? why would i want to go talk to some nigger about my car in an id software fps. THAT is what fucked rage up, completely killing the momentum with town shit.
but no, it isn't a cover shooter whatsoever and doesn't play like one in any way. if you played the game in pussy mode it's no wonder you didn't enjoy it.
>>320900897
Like I said, very hit or miss.
>>320898023
>>320901247
Multiplayer was fun for a while.
I hate wasting money in general but yeah enough is enough.
dat irony
dat ass tho
I thought Rage was good. Yeah it could have been hell of a lot better, but it surely wasn't terrible.
>>320901508

After 4 years of it being on the market, past a console generation and in development longer than the original Borderlands?
Sure. 3 million is a wild success. Especially when 2.2 of those were within a six month period.
And it is a cover shooter. Crysis 2 relied less on cover.
2010 gave us Vanquish on the third person perspective and 2011 had Shadows of the Damned respectively. SS3 released two months afterwards was the decidedly UNcover shooter of the year.
>>320900583
Megatextures only apply to massive surfaces, like the ground, sides of buildings and mountains and shit like that. The reason why megatextures are good is because it gets rid of repeating textures and because of that, is easier to render. What you are seeing there isn't megatextures, just regular crappy textures.
>>320901910
Cont.
And looky loo. Plans for a Rage 2 went down the crapper as soon as the game decidedly tanked.
Oh tragedy of tragedies.
Where else can i get a monochrome shooter that's boring to play with a story that makes Alexander look like Throne of Blood by comparison?
>>320901508
Disappointment.
>>320898023
>320898023
it ended abruptly.
i was enjoying it. I thought I was like half way through the story when it just ended. The progression of the game felt like there would be four unique areas.
nope
>>320902126
Cont.
I'll stop now.
>>320899726
nup
and on top of that it doesn't even have a general

>>320902286
The best decision you've made in your life so far
>>320902320
and for the consolefags it was "free" on PS+ too
never bothered to try it though
>>320902035
Megatextures are basically one giant texture slapped onto the geometry, so instead of meshing several textures together, you can just use one giant canvas and add in whatever is needed.
I refuse to believe someone actually let regular textures that look that awful just slip through production.
It's not like people discussed it to hate it. Everybody just stopped talking about it after it released.
>>320898023
I had the perfect game to post butI forgot it.
>>320902406
>I refuse to believe someone actually let regular textures that look that awful just slip through production.
It's a lot more common than you think, and now that a big publisher like Zenimax owns id software, cutting corners to save money and time is the norm. Back when id software was independent, they could take all the time they wanted to make something look good because a publisher wasn't breathing down their neck.
>>320902349
I was going to reply with "My worst would be fucking your mother" but i don't care enough. Rage isn't a game i should get mad over. I do anyways because i had hopes and the game crushed them all but still.
>>320902541
As a guy who put like 200 hours in BL2, i couldn't even finish TPS.
Just missing something. I know it was made by 2K AU but still.
Jesus christ this game flopped. I still remember S'arais trying to claim this would be the best thing in the world. They even tried to push a competitive aspect.
>>320902782
I genuinely recommend suicide.
>>320900004

>>320898260
I wish they fixed this fucking game.
>>320903042
What's wrong with it?
>>320902926
It's alright. I understand.
>>320901910
>And it is a cover shooter.
you can keep forcing it all you want, the reality of it is that you're a neo v baby who isn't good enough at fps to play it not as a "cover shooter".
i run and gunned my way through the entire game barely ever stopping.
>>320903006
I was wrong.It was 230
>>320902035
>Megatextures only apply to massive surfaces, like the ground, sides of buildings and mountains and shit like that. The reason why megatextures are good is because it gets rid of repeating textures and because of that, is easier to render. What you are seeing there isn't megatextures, just regular crappy textures.
no, this is completely wrong. every surface in the game uses save the characters, your weapons, etc.
>>320903186
Same old story, same old song and dance i've seen from defenders of that game for four years now.
The game is too boring and too inept to actually argue over.
>>320903302
>MegaTexture refers to a texture allocation technique facilitating the use of a single extremely large texture rather than repeating multiple smaller textures.
>MegaTexture employs a single large texture space for static terrain. The texture is stored on removable media or a computer's hard drive and streamed as needed, allowing large amounts of detail and variation over a large area with comparatively little RAM usage
Yeah, I'm completely wrong, everything I said was not only a lie, but a lie specifically fabricated to spread ignorance in the community.
Get the fuck over yourself.
>>320903132
my biggest complaint is never being able to join a game in under 30 minutes, or constantly being dropped from ranked matches and getting a timed ban even though the game server fucked and I didn't leave. I can only play like one round before everything is fucked. That one round is glorious, though
>>320903259
>unsatisfying gunplay
>boring world map
>cringeworthy writing
>and you spent 230 hours playing this
Fucking how?
>>320903592
i'm not "defending" anything, you're just wrong.
>>320903731
By disagreeing on your first two points and only sorta agreeing on the third?
>>320901726
>but it surely wasn't terrible.
I beat the game and never even knew it had finished until the credits started rolling. I didn't even know what the fuck was going on through half of it, other than the MC was a complete bitch that literally did anything anyone told him to do and that in the course of being such a spineless cunt he had managed to piss off some faceless general.
The gameplay was pretty good but got repetitive so goddamn fast it made my head spin and the enemies were such bullshit fucking bullet sponges that any tolerance for the repetition was suffocated in its own bed by crippling boredom.
The crafting system was entirely pointless, literally every weapon in the game was shit compared to the shotgun with exploding rounds, and the maps were all tight corridors connected by larger corridors full of bandit cars. They tried to carry that shit like a fucking RPG or something but had no fucking clue how to do that or write a cohesive story. Or good dialog. Or a fucking reason for the player to give a fuck about anything that happens.
It was a terrible game.

>>MegaTexture employs a single large texture space for static terrain
"static terrain" here means everything that is part of the world, not literally the just terrain.
you can open the console and run a command that shows you megatextures loading and you can watch them load as you walk around the city. thinking they would've just had incredibly bad textures close up when they didn't have to is bizarre.
in fact, in rage's engine, you cannot even apply textures to the scenery in the "normal" manner to get sharp textures up close. it's simply not built that way
i understand you're angry that you're wrong but you're wrong.
>>320903694
It's fine on consoles.
It also has no aim-assist on consoles, which makes it really interesting.

he did. rage runs 60 fps at all time on consoles. the game was ruined on pc in order to force it onto consoles.

I got the "Ultimate Edition" with all DLC (except for those kajillion skins) for $10 at GameStop due to a tagging error (it was only the basic edition that was supposed to be $10).

The game successfully implement asymmetrical pretty well.
You could ignore the DLC and still get your money's worth. Most of it is cosmetic garbage. The dev went out of its way to make sure that the DLC classes are balanced.
Shame the game is ded.
>>320903947
RAGE is one of the games I'll always disagree with /v/ on because I played it on 360 and it was terrific.
>>320903858
You finished it didn't you? If it was terrible, wouldn't you have just uninstalled it? I mean if someone offered you a plate of disgusting food to eat, and you have the option of not eating, you would just gulp it down and say it was terrible? You couldn't have smelled it first, or have a small taste or something? No you just ate the whole thing, payed the bill and punched the chef in the face, is that right?

I actually really enjoyed it too, and I kicked ass in the multiplayer. I just realized that I had already done everything there was to do so I wound up trading it in for I believe Saints Row The Third which I didn't really like much.

It only pissed people off because they expected 12 years' worth of work, it was a completely average game for last gen and was very faithful to the Duke Nukem series.
Man, fuck rage and how generic it was, it was so boring and drab and a technical mess
I don't understand how people even liked it
>>320905054
DNF was never intended to come out. Broussard and co. took money from like 10+ different investors during this time. They bought lamborghinis etc. with the money. They had no intent of ever working on or finishing the game.
As long as the promise of DNF existed, the money kept rolling in. It was a scam they played on the gaming industry. Notice that the oldschool 3drealms guys have not tried to do a single thing since- they got their money and got out.
It was all a scam..Past like the year 2000 or so, the game was never intended to actually exist.

I'm glad somebody else has an idea. If you were around efnet irc etc during the relevant time period then you heard some of this stuff, as i did, secondhand from people who had been involved in some way or another.
They pulled the wool over the eyes of the whole industry and then managed to sell their one year or so worth of assets to gearbox and get a percentage at the end of it all. lol. George is probably out riding around in a yacht made of gold right now.

>old id shooter
Hell no.
I mean the game was enjoyable but it didn't feel like an old school shooter come on.
I found Singularity too easy though. Like I played on medium and I didn't die for my entire first playthrough. Also the ending didn't make sense. One of the endigns is to shoot yourself while you're saving that russian guy, but why not just shoot the russian guy on your shoulders instead of yourself? That wasn't even an available option.
I don't even know what's going on with this game

Killzone 3's biggest problem was it tried to do too much, with stealth sections and vehicle sections etc. which ended up making it forgettable. It's not a bad game by any means, but it just needed a little more focus in development.

Some of the worst FPS games I've ever played. Proof that the ps3 was not made for shooters

Singularity, much like all the other Raven FPS's (Wolfenstein 2009, SoF, Heretic, etc) really is a forgettable game but also like other Raven titles on the verge of being a great game. I always looked at Raven's shooters as comfort food, they always delivered but never anything great. Kinda sad that they're doing bitchwork for CoD developers now.

Video games are dead
>>320908910
More of the opposite.
Video Games are more alive than ever. Fucking huge ass sales of consoles, PC gaming is on the rise too, more devs than ever before, games for pretty much every niche in existence, the list of great things going on goes on.
Vidya is beating stronk.

If anything vidya is oversaturated. There's too many games and developers, which isn' necessarily a bad thing but it means you have to wade through an ocean of piss and a lot of games have too much overlap or are blatant rip-offs of other games. Granted this happens with movies sometimes as well where two or more properties are so similar you wonder who stole from who.
Remember when Sony was trying to push this series SO hard?
And it only ended up with miserable sales. And yet they keep funding it.
Kind of like all of the David Cage games.

nigga wat? other wise i agree. Crysis 3 was so subpar, why the fuck did they decide to bring back the nigger from the dead.

Only the PS4. And its sales are at the expense of Xbone and Wii U.
>PC gaming is on the rise too
Pretty stagnant to be honest
>more devs than ever before
That's because with programs like Twine *anybody* can be a 1 person "dev"
