Are there any wizards that play this game? If there are any, what servers do you play on(if you play multiplayer)
For those that don't know, Vintage Story is basically TerraFirmaCraft turned into it's own standalone game. It's fun but it's still in beta and not going to be finished anytime soon.

I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas put in to the limitations of a early 2000s game engine that was handcrafted by a passionate nerd. I think limitations and those unique oversights/bugs were really what spawned great games.

These days it’s just like every single game is extremely high fidelity. We have more than enough resources to throw at anything now, there are almost no limitations, things are homogenized, most everything is running in Unreal or Unity engine.

It feels almost like the frontier of gaming is over, all that’s left is businessmen producing calculated slop over and over again, sequels on sequels. Devs these days aren’t building their dreams, they’re just building a paycheck.

What do you think? Was old really better or is it nostalgia

I often times like to fantasize what it would be like to travel back in time to, like, 2006 or 1994. Really, nothing much has changed except for entertainment and electronics. I would more than likely be terribly bored in 1994 with no internet, no computers, no cellphones, nothing portable like a Gameboy back then for me either, and the only games I had to play were platformers like Super Mario World, Sonic, and Star Wars.

2006, however, would be a somewhat different story. I had two PCs and a cellphone with internet and Tetris. I would still miss a lot. I sold the last of my consoles (Playstation 1 and N64) around 2003 and didn't have any consoles of my own again until I got myself a PS3 in 2011 and a PS4 in 2016. Since my PCs were pretty much always outdated; I was stuck playing custom maps like on Starcraft Brood War and Warcraft 3 and various mods for Half-Life 1 and 2 for many years.

You know what I would've loved playing back in 2006? No Man's Sky. The closest I had to No Man's Sky back in 2006 was probably Wurm Online and promises by Maxis and Will Wright about Spore. I mean, sure, No Man's Sky was a piece of crap in 2018. But back in 2006? That game would've been incredible.

>Were old games better?
Yes.
>I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas
Yes. Also someone's wish to make an adventure - and a good one, one, that player would enjoy. A whole experience. Not just some separate attractive things being put into overall bland/intentionally unattractive environment, mixed from some typical blocks almost without direction. Vision of something cool/beautiful/fun, that covers all aspects of it.
Modern games are made by people, who first and foremost try to push a propaganda, then put it into any form most people would try it while spending as less money as possible. The goal of many modern developers is not to make an adventure for the player (while maybe putting some morals into it), but to shove "our ideas are correct" first, adventure is optional. Modern videogame industry would've turned into powerpoint presentations about modern views of some minorities factory if not for the fact that players still somehow want at least some interactivity (and can't read anything longer than a twitter post).
Some modern developersgo further though - they try to "subtly" make all characters "on your side, with correct views" to look ugly and most "really bad, toxic, evil" characters to have relatively good looking faces to promote "beauty bad, ugly good" idea. Beware of such.

During the 80s/90s we experienced what it was like to go from silent movies to talking movies to color movies.

Now the video game medium is completely standardized, just like movies and books. As long as you have the budget there are no limitations.

Am I the only one that's too paranoid to ever play video games in public? When I'm out in public I'm always hyper aware of my surroundings and constantly sizing up any threats. I don't even look at my phone unless it's to check the time. Is that weird?

Depends on the actual threat level of your area.
Some places are dangerous enough to warrant such high alertness, however for a lot of places such high alertness is unnecessary and a pathological result of a unwell mind.

I don't know you or where you live (nor do I want to) so I can't say if your behavior and outlook is reasonable or not.

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.

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.

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.

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.
