Wrath of Earth.

FPS adventure-shooter that unlike Doom you actually have to use your brain to get through.

Played it back in my golden days on a half-broken DOS laptop.

Loved it 'cuz you had to inventory manage across multiple levels, adapt your combat strategy as enemies became radar invisible, and the environment was creepy.

Grab DOSBOX and give it a try.

Wendy: Every Witch Way on GBC.

It's a video game based on a TV show that was canned before ever coming out, based on a Casper sidecharacter… and yet it's a superb puzzle platformer with antigravity mechanics that are quite fun. I've played it this month for the 1st time and couldn't get enough of it, beat it both on Normal and Hard, and also the world that's exclusive to when you play it on a GBA, for some reason. It's a simple and easy platformer, but that's not braindead, it both looks and sounds great, and giving you passwords between all levels makes it easy to pick up and play, especially since the passwords are quite short. I can't recommend it enough honestly.

What games define you? What are the games that left an impact on you, that you'll never forget? It honestly didn't take me long to figure it out for myself. An honorable mention and 10th would be MGSV for me as well.

Not him but I enjoyed those games as a kid largely just because it was "platforming, but you can fly"… I was a sucker for that. There's a flying power up in mario galaxy that I loved even though you barely get to use it. I guess if you can just fly everywhere it defeats the purpose of platforming but eh it's fun.

I love soccer/football video games, but then again I'm Brazilian so of course I do. I'm a big fan of Konami's Winning Eleven, like most football/soccer fans, but I do love a lot of other ones too, especially older titles, like TECMO World Cup Soccer on NES, I'm replaying it now and it's still excellent, despite it getting ridiculously difficult and unforgiving near the final stages of the cup too.

Running natively means it doesn't need wine or dxvk, or some other translation layer.
From.what I remebed native games usually come in a folder with an executable, similarly to how portable window applications are.

Can anyone tell me why you need to bother with proper PC gaming? Between these two cheap options, I have 80% of gaming covered. I look at what's required to get a better computer and it's literally either wasting $500-700 on a 7 year out of date lurkan machine being peddled by electronics stores, or it's going full force and wasting $2000+ on parts like GPUs, new CPUs, etc. You can't really get a good GPU for less than $400 at the moment, that's more than I spent on my current set up. People just seem unwilling to sell old gaming computers like they do old consoles.

I keep on being told online that I'm just a fucking idiot and that I don't get PC gaming, and it's cheaper than console gaming if I actually do it properly. But where are these cheap computers being sold?

What is this garbage? We can see only 13fps? There are people who can be shows 30 words per minute flashing in front of their eyes one by one who can memorize and recite them. In fact every nook and cranny of reality just about disproves your claim. What a fucking retard you are, go back to /x/ or whatever 4chan "weirdos" board you're a refugee of.

And studies have found that the answer is between 7 and 13 Hz. After that, our sensitivity to movement drops significantly. “When you want to do visual search, or multiple visual tracking or just interpret motion direction, your brain will take only 13 images out of a second of continuous flow, so you will average the other images that are in between into one image.”

Discovered by researcher Rufin vanRullen in 2010, this literally happens in our brains: you can see a steady 13 Hz pulse of activity in an EEG, and it’s further supported by the observation that we can also experience the ‘wagon wheel effect’ you get when you photograph footage of a spinning spoked object. Played back, footage can appear to show the object rotating in the opposite direction. “The brain does the same thing,” says Chopin. “You can see this without a camera. Given all the studies, we’re seeing no difference between 20hz and above. Let’s go to 24hz, which is movie industry standard. But I don’t see any point going above that.”

Zoomer here, I've got a lot of time to kill, I wanted to ask any wizzies here what would be some must play games for me to try out on any console excluding ps5 exclusives. I've started playing some ps2 games such as drakengard and Persona 3, I got really tired of all the dark souls I played. Preferably give me a lot of japanese made games, although that isnt mandatory. Thank you!

If you like fighter jet fantasies, try Ace Combat. You can emulate all of them (and 7 is on Steam, Xbox, PS and Switch). Start off with 4 or 7. Don't touch novice controls with a thousand yard stick.

If you liked it, go for Ace Combat 2, 3 (Japanese version with English patch) 4, 5, 0, X, 6 (only if you have an xbox) and 7 (plus the DLC). Also try Project Wingman once you've played those games.

Try X2, Skype Crawlers 3D (a.k.a Assault Horizon Legacy) and Air Combat if you're hungry for more.

Ace Combat Assault Horizon is to be avoided until you have a good feel for the series, and even then you should drastically lower your expectations.

FF10 easily its linear, it hand holds a lot.

Gameplay wise if you dont mind learning a whole new system then its def Tactics. FF5 is pretty good as well. yadda yadda you will figure it out

Agreed. But its still a decent game tbh. I rate it kinda high, it has more world building than FF4 for example.

FF4 for the DS is really good tho, hardmode by default, graphics are a bit similar to Yoshitaka Amano's official FF art.

I've even thought of stooping to trying out anime games. Why is gaming so dead, bros? Everything is just chasing the shadow of the original IPs of the 2000s (halo, cod, gears, far cry) minus the soul, community and meta that made them good. Modern gaming is a sterile, soulless, monetized no-funfest.

How much longer can i play the same games? Where is the hope?

So why not play older games? There's a lot of games from the past that you can play, you don't have to play newer games if you don't like it. Honestly I had this sort-of angst about newer video games too but it's just useless to care about when older games aren't gonna go anywhere. Even old online games have communities, some are still thriving even.

And I wouldn't chalk this feeling that you have up to nostalgia, trying to do is too reductive and completely ignores a lot of the change that has come to define modern day games. Change is not the same as progress. In this day and age I think there's so much excess in computational power that I feel goes to complete waste, which is why I have a sense of unease seeing newer games with "ultra-realistic game-changing" graphics that end up just feeling like an incredibly expensive novelty.

Gaming has been getting worse for a decade at the very least. Mainly because of heavy, heavy monetisation. People are literally paying a 1/4 of the price of a full game for a fucking skin.

Well, maybe you're just depressed, OP. How's life going outside of video games? If you're really struggling, not having fun with things you used to like is quite common. I'd suggest playing shorter and easier video games to start off your return into it, with something like a spreadsheet to keep track of what you've beat, it's what I do and it motivates me to play, even if it's autistic.

I wish you the best.

2013 is the year gaming in the west died. The shitty business practices of lootcrates and paywalls became common place, low effort quirky indie games became popular. And the government/whatever boogieman you fear, finally after nearly 3 decades of constant shitting on and denouncing of video games realized that they can shill propaganda through this medium of entertainment. Every game since has been infected by this, vidya became fully mainstream. You can argue that it became mainstream much earlier but 2013 is when it began to come full circle. Whats even worse is they are pressuring the east to conform to western standards. We have seen the glory days of vidya for sure. Its only more downhill from here.

I pretty much play retro exclusively nowadays, not only are the bussiness practices awful, and titles feel bloated instead of compact and tighly designed, just to justify their insane cost, but it's full of DEI and propaganda I'm not interested in when I sit down to play a video game, for my own entertainment, I want succubi to look good and I don't want to be preached at aswell.

At least there's enough retro for a life time of playing.
