>>7442 >not dystopian/post-apocalyptic

Those PS2 disaster games are like that for me. Very comf.

>>7562 >comf kot is comf

Ico is kinda like that even though it's not a real world.

>>5194 It wasn't, that's the point, gotta numake it. I'll take gears of war over any modern franchise. That being said, I don't need a shitty open world slop.

>>5188 I had no idea there was a Gears 4 and 5. It really was just aping Halo the whole way even down to having an ending at the third game then dying and continuing to shit its pants for years afterwards.

>>5513 It was "the emblematic western 7th gen game".

I don't get the appeal of "open world" games at all. When a game is advertised as "do whatever you want, go wherever you want", that's marketing speak for "we were too lazy to actually organize all this stuff, so here, you waste your time wandering around aimlessly and do our job for us". I'm not the game designer. It's your job to design your game, not mine. I stopped buying open world games years ago before they're a waste of time, a fucking chore to play, and had to give up series I used to love because they fell for the open world meme. What is the appeal of wandering around an empty map full of copy-pasted content?

>>8039 >do whatever you want, go wherever you want The funniest thing is, that's it not. If you look at hotmaps of where people go in sandbox games (I remember examples of Skyrim and some Farcry posted) it's literally all the same places. 95% of people all go to the exact dame places via the exact same routs, so like 60% of the "open world" is left completely untouched, just a useless waste of time and resources that could have gone in polishing the mechanics and adding extra details.

>>7832 It's nothing interesting, we already knew E3 is dead from earlier this year if not from 2022.

>>7833 Thanks Anon.

>>7832 >mind just sharing the open link? get a vpn

>>7848 nice

>>7820 It's still complete shit. It's just that what came after was somehow even worse.

>>7822 >It's still complete shit I disagree. Though it's very lackluster and disappointing in many ways, it's the last Final Fantasy that anyone actually wanted to make over at SE and that people were excited about.

somebody put them out of their misery

>>7842 soon

Will you buy a PS5 to save her?

>>7253 Yeah, there's plenty of people looking for that kind of thing despite what eternally griping faggots like >>7261 say.

>>7253 no, gaming is dead

I always wanted to see the 5th-era game style done in 'modern' graphics but alas.

REmake is on sale for $5.

>>6329 Can't get to that behind Cuckflare Anon. What was it about?

>>6339 Dunno tbh. But the editors of the page decided to put Deshawn Travon's head in as if the nigger was an important insight into solving the question. Therefore >snopes says: FAKE NEWS

>>6345 But doesn't it look like the negro is using the keyboard as a hitting rock like a primordial ape, not knowing what to actually do with it? A very accurate depiction tbh.

Do you miss MMOs?

But what if my soul was trapped in the wrong body, but then it turned out it was the right body after all?

>>7725 Based! Thanks Anon, may it soon make Nexus irrelevant.

>>7726 it already is

>>7725 nice

>>7385 >and their history >castlevania is set in romania Is there a single thing niggers have that they didn't steal from someone else?

>>7395 I wouldn't be surprised if they set the whatever that is in Africa.

>>7395 <actual castle in transylvanian hiv aids originated in africa so theres that they can be proud of in their history

>>7395 Mudpies, maybe?

>>7397 dat looks like africa to me

>>5715 I miss the pre rendered cutscenes, they always felt like a true reward. I remember spending hours and hours unlocking all the endings in Tekken. Nowadays even if they make those you can't even tell them apart from in game graphics so they are redundant and don't mean anything. It's another one of those things that will never come back. https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=lKHaMeTcVr4

>>6024 Spending days to level up and finally manage to beat a hard boss at 3AM in the morning and get a major new story beat with a brand new jaw-dropping CGI cutscene... Zoomers will never undrstand.

>>5715 What was cool about cutscenes in pre social cancer, pre jewtube and even pre broadband era, is that you couldn't really easily rewatch them. Some games had cutscenes theaters but not many. So you really only got one fleeting chance to see them, especially final and secret cutscenes, without having to replay a portion or the entire game again. This made them very special and ultimately iconic. Nowadays fuck, people just go and watch final, secret and whatever cutscenes on jewtube without even beating the game.

>>5899 Full-Motion-Video My ass anon....

>>6920 Or in the ass.

>>7163 This just tells me you aren't sensitive enough to political correctness. It was the beginning of what is now obvious to everyone now.

>>7164 >I didn't like hearing her drone on and on and lead Gordon around She's barely in the game. You meet her like 2 times. >They also made her completely damage resistant Well yeah she's a story NPC, what were they supposed to do, make her killable in-game?

>>7166 >what were they supposed to do, make her killable in-game? You're part of the problem.

>>7163 Alyx a cute.

>>7167 >>7166 I will clarify. First, the design shouldn't force you to be in the situation where you have to be lectured in a room for 30 minutes to progress the story and told exactly what to do. >what were they supposed to do, make her killable in-game? Like I said, you shouldn't be in that situation in the first place. Second, why not? Just make it a game over. At least you would have the freedom. The first game made pretty much every npc killable. All of the scientists and security guards were (if I remember correctly), even when they were talking. There was a beginning exposition part where you couldn't, but it made sense because you were still doing your job at that point.
