Games to play forever Anonymage 03/10/25 (Mon) 16:21:38 No.62291 [Reply]

The older I get, the narrower my taste in games becomes. It isn't for lack of trying, either. I constantly download new shit, but nothing ever sticks. I've come to the conclusion that there is an incredibly small handful of games actually worth playing and almost all of them are made by Nintendo, Blizzard, id Software or Capcom. If I had to name a few in no particular order:
>Diablo 2
>StarCraft
>WarCraft 3
>Ocarina of Time
>Resident Evil 4
>DOOM
>Quake 3
All of these games are 10/10 solid gold classics with endless gameplay and lively communities. Playing anything else just feels like buying store brand, what are your eternally playable games?

Fucking this. No other game has such a good atmosphere. If you have never played it before you HAVE TO. Walking around Santa Monica the first time is such a great feeling. The haunted house, the cemetery in Hollywood etc. Insane that there have been almost no RPGs that can compare after all these years.

>Ocarina of Time
How does this game make your list, yet literally no other proper action game title not do so?

No
>Ninja Gaiden Black/2/3re/4
>Bayo 1/2/3
>DMC1/3/4/5
OoT is filled with combat so bad it makes Dark Souls look deep, puzzles so easy that it makes "Wait a minute that card" look like Baba is You, and a world so barren it makes the average Final Fantasy map seem fun to explore.

I'm not going to say OoT is a shit game, but comon, its basically FF7-tier where nostalgia and hype overrides any actual sense of criticism or analysis.

Not to mention I highly doubt you actually play Starcraft/Quake3/Warcraft online, maybe you do, but I've not met many who play multiple 1v1 games that require such dedication to. In the past there were more lobbies in those games about doing fun and dumb minigames, but now the only population is for hardcore TDM and 1v1, CTF for Quake maybe. Age of Empires ought to also be something you list, but didn't, despite that actually still having SP campaign updates and a population that enjoys some more casual fun like black forest, x256 tech mod, forestnothing, etc.

Honestly I think you're just a poser who listed some "classics" in order to lend some legitimacy to bitching about nothing you have any qualifications to bitch about.

I just don't see it, usually competitive online players obsess over a single game, even finding someone who actively plays something like LoL AND Dota 2 regularly is harder than you might think, let alone Starcraft/Warcraft and a totally different genre like Quake. Personally I think it just comes down to the fact that eventually the competition is what drives you, and you'll get better faster by focusing on one single game. Realistically I don't think loading up your 20,000th game of CSGO is "fun" in a normal sense, but testing your skills and getting better than others might still be fresh and exciting.

Silent Hill Anonymage 10/07/24 (Mon) 12:21:27 No.61886 [Reply]

since the remake of silent hill 2 dropped, I am interested in the silent hill series. I never played a silent hill game before so I can't argue about it because I k'ow nothing (well just the stories I've read on wikimedia yesterday haha).
Wich silent hill you've played?
which is your favorite SH? Did the game you've played was scary or not?

The only games that matter for discussing any kind of overall plot are 1-4, since those are the only games made by Team Silent before everything got outsourced.
>All the protagonists did something at some point that haunts them and Silent Hill forces them to face their demons.
See, like this was something unique to Silent Hill 2 that the later games that were outsourced to other developers just ripped off, so people think it's something inherent to Silent Hill itself.

I'm really partial to the ideas in 4 just not the game. Creating the safe space and making it increasingly hostile and unnerving. Amazingly creepy enemy design. The revisiting of spaces a second time making you dread going back and them being even more hostile the second time. Those ideas are solid. They're just not executed well and that's apparent.

Anonymage 10/20/25 (Mon) 13:14:41 No.63240

I tried playing the remake but it ran so bad on my PC it was not worth playing at all. Then I tried playing the original but got filtered hard by the controls. Been thinking of trying 3 tho.

Is Silent Hill f any good? Setting it in 1960s Japan makes it feel weird to me.

i know it's an unpopular opinion but i liked the first one a lot more. the gameplay is simple, too simple perhaps but i never felt like dropping it like i did multiple times with 3 (i got bored after fighting the farmers in indonesia or something). the dismount and capture stuff feel superflous, and the limited party size is a massive downgrade. the first game had a much more compelling cast and story too.

Piloting jets are the best. I don't mind it being a bit arcade-y as it's not supposed to be a flight-sim.

Game Recommendation Anonymage 05/23/23 (Tue) 12:40:02 No.59973 [Reply]

In this thread, ask other wizards for game recommendations.

I'm starting a new thread to look for wizards who played lots of city building games. I'm looking to get immersed in one of those games and I mean I want to completely forget this world exists. I don't have a preference for theme, though I would prefer not to play anything medieval. However if you played ton of these games and the one you think it's the best happens to be medieval themed I don't mind, let me know. Thanks in advance.

I *loved* Simcty 3000's vibe and loved to play with in-game existing cities a lot

The best pаge on the Wizchan Wiki was the list of frеe gаmes, ոеarly all of which were low-spec and could be easily downloаdеd without bloаtwarе softwarе mаոagеrs such as Stеam. I'd likе to rеbuild a list of gаmеs that meеt the critеriа of freе, with a suggеsted focus on gаmеs which arе cаpablе of ruոning on that old IBM Thinkcenter in the closеt.

hello fellow wizards, i was wondering if you knew some good wizard related audios to listen for long session gaming that doesn't require your full attention like grinding for example.
any recommendation is welcome.
