Only 19 of my top 70 games were made in the last 10 years.

With the majority of those 19 games being 2006 titles.

I hate modern games. everything is disappointing. this is turning out to be worse than 2015, and that's pretty impressive since nothing even came out.

Many of my favourite games are relatively recent or still being developed. Dominions 4 (2013), NetHack (originally released in 1987 but last updated in 2015), UnReal World (originally released in 1992, last update in 2016), Mount and Blade: Warband (released in 2010) and such like. Indeed, they're heavily biased towards last 10 years.

If you've been playing it for the past decade, I don't see the issue.

People who say their favourite game is something made in the last year always sound like naive fools to me, it's like they've not learned they'll grow out of most of the games they enjoy.

Nah, most recent favs are Max Payne 3, W101, and Hotline Miami

I'm not that disappointed, 2bh. Lots of good games came out recently. As long as you aren't someone who only plays "mature games for mature people such as myself", then you're doing fine on vidya as of late. This last year has been great for Nintendo and PC players.

I can never answer this question, my list of favorite games is heavily influenced by the genres of whichever games I've played in the last month and how much I enjoyed those games. A shitty RPG means my top ten games list is suddenly RPG free for a while.

Mein negro
Are you hyped for Styx 2?
I really want to see the drwarfs design, i liked how they approached them withStyx (you should had see both drwarf and elfs in the prequel Of Orcs and Men, fucking terrible but they only had one scene in the entire game)
>>
>>333150165
>Styx 2
W-wait, what? There's gonne be a sequel? Fucking sweet! No, I wasn't hyped for Styx 2, I didn't know there was gonne be one... but now I am! Is there anything concrete already? Maybe even a trailer?
Dwarfs are probably awesome! All other races were awesome! I'm more excited for how they'll continue the plot with all those... you know what!

>he doesn't know
Shit nigger, they teased it with a "joke" trailer on December 25 2014 with a Styx saying that Styx will come back and on November 2015 they announced Styx: Shards of Darkness
Bigger budget, UE4 swich engine and better handling control, the game is not only based on a tower now so the levels will have more variety
The story will be around Elfs, Humans and Dwarfs considering to be allies to fight the Goblin's menace
>>
>>333150835
Regarding their gameplay and structure, the levels of Styx Master of Shadows were AMAZING.
Visually however, they were a little bit dissappointing. Don't get me wrong, I love this game's aesthetics, I'm just missing a bit variety.
These screenshots already show more variety than the entirety of the first game.
If the levels are as least as open as the ones of the first game (and the devs don't fuck up the latch detection again) this is gonna be such a great game.
Geez, currently replaying Deux Ex HR (in prepareation for Mankind Divided) and now I gotta replay Styx too.
>>
New games that I've enjoyed:

Bloodborne
Wolfenstein: The New Order
The Evil Within
Metal Gear Solid V
Dishonored
Binary Domain
Hotline Miami 1 and 2
Metal Gear Rising
Dragon's Dogma

I am actually so fucking over nostalgia, I used to have it back when I was like 16, but not in my 20's. Nostalgia has just become another tool for marketing. It has been sullied honestly.

I try to play new games and think "What would I have thought of this when I was younger?" and it makes me enjoy them a lot more, not trying to be such a self-indulgent critic and just see the positive aspects.

Alright I've never played Styx but your comments about level design piqued my interest.

Is this in any way comparable with Thief? I remember briefly looking at it when I saw it pop up on steam, and I just brushed it off as another indie game that is probably casual shit. How wrong am I? Also is that RPG prequel worth it? Why did they go from RPG to Stealth? Does the game have good lore and atmosphere like Thief?

>Is this in any way comparable with Thief?

Unfortunately, I have never played Thief.
Have you played any of the good ol' N64 collectathon platformers? Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Conker and so on? Because that's kinda how the level design felt for me! It's a huge, big space, which provides dozends of paths, which all cross each other several times. I'm almost prompted to say that Styx did the whole open-world-stealth-idea better than MGS V. (Even though I don't think anyone considers Styx a real open world game. It still got quite distinguishable levels.)

It's simply amazing how many sections of the game can be stealthed by simply climbing along a wall, 100 meter above any enemy. (Don't fall though. Styx isn't immune to fall damage.)
>>
>tfw able to enjoy both older and new games

>>333151079
>Is this in any way comparable with Thief?
It's god send compared to Thi4f, a pretty good stealth compared to the first three but nothing too deep because in heart they are pretty much different.
Styx's level design is based on verticality, which is not common, especially lately these years so it was a nice change of pace and actually pretty good.
> I remember briefly looking at it when I saw it pop up on steam, and I just brushed it off as another indie game that is probably casual shit. How wrong am I?
A lot because it's one of very few AA games that also worth a damn.
It's still rough gem, the game was done with a tight budget and time, the plot twist is actually unexpected.
> Also is that RPG prequel worth it?
Not much, the game badly balanced and it's fucking level design are even worse.
(every map is a straight line)

But overall story and characters are great, i suggest it to play it with God Mode activated, the combat is not fun for the above reason.
>Why did they go from RPG to Stealth?
I really don't know but OOAM were made by two developers, this time around they just called one and doing a game about Styx, a thief, a stealth gameplay was probably much better than that one.
>>
>literally played nothing but Witcher 3, Heroes of the Storm, WOW, TW Medieval 2 and Bf4 for about 2 years

Man this is grim

I was put off buy so many new releases that I just stopped caring. Rome 2 was the biggest travesty ever. Arkham Knight was exactly the same.

Is Arkham Knight still fucked?
